I love this association of resonance and connection and the 4 types of resonance given through Rosa's research (new to me). Recently I experienced resonance discussing the book "THe Fourth Turning is Here" by Neil Howe. His work showcases patterns of histories and different generations reactions to these seasons of change. While discussing it and reading it, the repetitive pattern of what's happening today - the disconnect we all feel and other underlying emotions - while it makes me so incredibly uncomfortable - provides a sense of solace and clarity as to the why we feel this way.
Here is my example of resonance from this weekend. We were on the way to a concert. On the way I asked my wife, "One of your coursin John's kids is Charlie, what it the name of the other son?" It took her quite a while to come up with his name. Then, at the concert, who was there? John, his, wife, and the two kids, and I got to spend the entire intermission playing with the kids. IMO, I was in resonance with something, otherwise, why would I have asked at that moment about the name of someone I see perhaps once a year?
I just finished reading The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin. Though he uses different terminology, the book relates to all four types, but particularly #3. He speaks of that energy/vibration you get when you connect with or come up with an idea or a piece of art. It’s beyond just excitement, it’s an energy that is deeply resonant with the universe or “source” as he calls it. He offers some great advice on how to create space for more of that energy.
Love this and can join you in wholeheartedly recommending Hartmut Rosa's work. A while back, I wrote a two part series on his resonance theory and how it aligns with today's societal trends: https://www.creativedestruction.club/p/why-we-lost-our-groove
This is so timely as I was researching Hartmut Rosa yesterday and his theory on resonance. I am considering taking a course which incorporates his ideas. I believe this is an example of horizontal resonance.

I really enjoyed Rick’s book. ❤️

Recommended read: Nancy Duarte "Resonate" a beautiful and helpful book on creating resonance when we communicate

I think Harmut’s work on acceleration is fascinating.
