Raising Vibrations?

There's a lot of talk about how people should be raising their vibrations to higher levels, dimensions, and so on. I have a problem with this, and will try to explain.

In eastern meditation you'll probably find that the Buddha searched for the middle way. In Taoism that the Yin should be balanced with the Yang. In many forms of modern spirituality you see talk of raising vibes to higher and higher levels, but not so much about balance. Is one of the problems here that we shouldn't be trying to raise vibrations, vibes, etc, to higher and higher levels, but instead to have balanced vibrations?

What exactly are vibrations? We see talk about how reality is illusory, that there's mind behind matter, and so on. So isn't it possible that the whole idea of vibrations, good and bad, higher and lower, positive and negative, should be transcended? If we reach a more balanced state, isn't it possible that we'll find the whole idea of vibrations was something more focused in the physical universe, and that the mind beyond matter doesn't even need to be focused on vibrations, but instead balance? If good and bad, positive and negative, higher and lower are opposites, shouldn't we be trying to have a balance of both, and then move beyond the whole dualism of the concept, then finally the concept itself?

A lot of people think lower vibes are demonic, and higher ones are for more advanced spiritual beings. But do demons own lower vibrations and angels higher ones? What if vibrations are just vibrations, and not owned by any side that's battling with eachother? Does evil own darkness and good own light?

These ideas and concepts should be questioned. Personally I choose balanced vibrations, the middle way. Maybe at some point in the future I'll not think so much about vibrations at all, maybe hardly any of us will.
