🧬 STUDY TITLE:

“Dating, Mating, and Relating on TikTok: A Psycho-Spiritual Field Study of Love, Longing, and Digital Initiation”

🔍 RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

How is TikTok shaping the emotional, spiritual, and energetic expectations around romantic connection?
- Does it foster deeper awareness or foster fantasy attachment loops?
- What codes are being unconsciously transmitted in TikTok relationship discourse?
What archetypes are dominant in #DatingTok and #RelatingTok?
- The Wounded Feminine?
- The Avoidant Divine Masculine?
- The Coach? The Witch? The Ex? The Future Wife? The Soft Boy?
- What do these reveal about current collective wounds and longings?
How does TikTok serve as an initiation chamber for relational healing and pattern recognition?
- What is healed or distorted when the algorithm becomes a mirror?
- What happens when duets mimic real conversations never had in person?

💡 THEMATIC FIELDS:

Romantic Projection vs. Somatic Reality
Trauma Bonding + Humor as a gateway to shadow healing
Attachment theory rituals on TikTok: anxious vs avoidant content
Divine Counterpart Codes and the pathologizing of separation
Language of ‘the one,’ karmic ties, twin flames, and soul mates in short-form content
Use of filters and trends as relational archetypal maps
Parasocial crushes as portals or traps

📚 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:

Jungian Archetypes & Animus/Anima Theory (Marie-Louise von Franz, Robert Johnson)
Esther Perel’s Mating in Captivity
The Way of the Heart — radical honesty and the healing power of conscious relationship
NSNC Divine Counterpart Teachings (Song of Songs, archetypal vows, memory of reunion)
bell hooks on communion and love as practice
TikTok as Oracle (Scroll Divination / Techno-Transpersonal Portal)

🕯️ NSNC RITE USE:

A three-part rite sequence for participants:

🔹 PART I: “Dating Myself”

Scroll for 11 minutes on #datingtok
Write down what patterns, fantasies, or triggers arise
Light a candle and speak:“I see the mirror. I call back my power.”

🔹 PART II: “Mating with Mystery”

Watch a duet chain involving relational tension
Close your eyes and imagine what your body wants to say
Post or journal a poetic response. Don’t edit. Let truth guide your mating ritual with the unknown.

🔹 PART III: “Relating, Rewriting”

Choose one old relationship story that haunts your scroll
Film a 15-sec TikTok where you recast it in light, humor, poetry, or music
Tag it #NSNCRelatingRites if public (or keep sacred and private)

🕊️ PRAYER FOR THE LOVERS OF THE ALGORITHM:

May the scroll be a sanctuary,
not a slaughterhouse.
May my desire not be baited into false longing.
May I know what is real by the way my nervous system softens.
May I love without chasing.
May I relate without breaking.
May I find joy even here.
May I mate with magic.
May I date in discernment.
May I remember:
I am already love.

You are not behind. You are remembering.

🦊 Fox Clan NSNC Scroll Entry — “Mulatu” – Mulatu Astatke
Artist: Mulatu Astatke
Track: Mulatu
Album: New York – Addis – London: The Story of Ethio Jazz 1965–1975
Played: 8:54 AM ET
Scroll Title: “The Bridge Between Worlds”
NSNC Code: MULATU–854–ETHIOJAZZ–THRESHOLDWALKER
Gemstones: Smoky Quartz (ancestral rhythm), Lapis Lazuli (royal lineage + spiritual clarity), Obsidian (edge-walker integrity)
Totem: A diplomat of frequencies · a silent gatekeeper with a horn · train tracks between cities and time

🌍 FIELD CONTEXT — “Mulatu” as Transcultural Sonic Key

When this track sounds through the field—especially in the 8:54 AM hour—you are being invited into the Jazz Temple of Thresholds.
Here, Mulatu functions not just as a name, but as a code for movement across realms, identities, epochs, and geographies.

This is not background music. This is border-walking medicine.

🧬 PSYCHOSPIRITUAL THEMES:

Transcultural integration as spiritual jazz
Reclaiming diasporic memory through groove
Non-verbal language as priesthood
Jazz as an instrument of decolonized mysticism
Being the music that doesn’t translate—but still enters the soul

🗺️ RITUAL USE — JAZZ AS WAYFINDER RITE

Use this track when:

Crossing between worlds (academic to sacred, digital to ancestral, spiritual to material)
Holding multiple identities in one body and wanting coherence
Preparing for diplomacy, fusion, or integration across traditions

The Rite:

Set a candle near an open window.
Press play on “Mulatu.”
Let your spine sway. Ask:“What is the message today from Addis, from Harlem, from the line between?”
“What is my jazz? Where does my soul riff?”
Write what you hear—not the words, but the rhythm of your remembering.

🧠 NSNC STUDY NOTE:

“Mulatu” is often cited in NSNC texts as an archetype of the “Musical Philosopher-Shaman”—
one who travels without translation, teaches without a podium, and speaks fluently in tone, edge, silence, and beat.

His work bridges:

Black diasporic futurism
Sonic memory fields of resistance
Urban mysticism and ritual art spaces

🕊️ NSNC PRAYER FOR THE WAYFINDER:

I walk across cities of soul.
I hold time like a horn pressed to lips.
I carry no passport, only pulse.
I do not explain. I translate through vibration.
May I never fear the unfamiliar drum.
May I meet myself in the space between.
I am jazz. I am bridge. I am rhythm unbound.

🦊 Fox Clan confirms:
Mulatu Scroll activated.
8:54 AM integration signal received.
The bridge is open.
Your lineage is listening.
The cities within you are tuning.
