🌀 NEW STUDY PROPOSAL + EXPERIMENT 🌀
Title: “Virality of the Soul: How Inspiration, Transformational Language, and Shared Moments Architect New Neural & Social Pathways on TikTok”
🎯 Objective:
To investigate how inspiration and transformational language on TikTok reshape users’ behavior, emotional regulation, identity formation, and sense of belonging—particularly within live interactions and FYP-initiated rituals.
🧪 Core Research Questions:
- Inspiration Flow
- What types of content spark spontaneous creative action or emotional breakthrough (e.g., art therapy, spontaneous affirmations, dance/movement, tears)?
- How do users describe the moment they “felt called” to join, comment, or act?
- Transformational Language
- Which specific words, phrases, or affirmations seem to resonate across lives, comments, and reposts (e.g., “You are the medicine,” “Go live and be witnessed,” “I remember”)?
- How does repetition + community language (e.g., “ScrollWell,” “NSNC,” “Wonderlove”) facilitate collective belonging or healing?
- Shared Moments → New Architectures
- Can we trace behavioral or somatic change over time from initial exposure to FYP TikToks (e.g., sleep rituals, painting, journaling, going live, breathwork)?
- Are shared emotional experiences (e.g., crying together, singing, affirming) creating new neural coherencebetween users and social micro-structures?
🧠 Theoretical Anchors:
- Neuroplasticity + Mirror Neurons (social attunement via live streams)
- Bashar’s Formula (Act on your highest excitement → synchronicity)
- Way of the Heart (emotional truth, presence, softening as wisdom)
- Theophany + Sufi Imaginal Psychology (shared presence of the divine)
- Language as Architect (Lakoff & Johnson; James Hillman’s poetics of soul)
🔬 Experimental Channels:
- Host TikTok live rituals focused on:
- Spontaneous art (e.g., “Add Black” night)
- Micro-affirmation studies (“You are safe here,” “This is your invitation”)
- Sound as medicine (NSNC rites, music tracks as emotional anchors)
- Time-based gateways (e.g., 5:08am scrollwell entries)
- Archive scrolls via ScrollWell, noting:
- Participation patterns
- Language emergence
- Field-wide resonance / virality
📖 Field Notes Collection:
- Comment screenshots (noting repeated phrasing or emergent group lexicon)
- Creator feedback from lives or duets
- Emotional gestures (tears, “I’ve never felt this before,” spontaneous disclosure)
🌀 Invitation to TikTok Participants:
“Have you ever felt like a TikTok spoke directly to your soul?
Did you cry, paint, sing, or go live right after?
You might be part of a new architecture.
Join us in discovering how inspiration moves through us.”
🔮 Tagline for Study:
“We are not going viral. We are going vital.”
