    The Love of the Universe that is Calling You to Grow in Every Direction

    This time calls for overwhelming insertion of Truth and Conscious Presence. You will have to override your brain every moment. That Is Growth. The More You override it, the More you Grow.

    There is Only Love

    In the true place, there is Only Love. All other experiences, concepts, even understanding, belong to lower frequencies. In the highest place, there is Only One. There is only God. Moving in the human body- and all the other experiences- whatever we come to know them as, can exist. They don't register as anything. Because there is Only Love. I have come here to be a very specific human being- I have come here to embody my Soul- which is Unconditional Love. Despite the experiences with people, I am not meant to turn away or close my door. I am meant to Love- both myself, and others. And I shall heed this. Because this is who I am. Who I have come here to Be.

    The Infinite Expanding Universe is the Same Order By Which Our Life is Written

    I don't know how much of a difference this makes in the suffering we experience-But knowing that every moment of our life really is following the order of the expanding Universe- THAT-That there really is only Growth-And that what we are experiencing is only what we are Ready-It's amazing to think about it that way. That, every moment is really in perfect order.

    Experiencing Hate from Mom or the World- Tell Them that It's Human Nature

    Most play by the rules and don't know. The few that know the rules are powerful. Dear Friends-I've very often thought that all of life is a preparation-Every moment for the next-LiterallyWhen you experience hate in the people closest to you, it really prepares you for what you may encounter in the world-It's almost like- the thing that you experience at home is the thing that is meant to sharpen your sword-And then, if you truly experience it in the World, that thing can never really feel the same. It can never really be of that extent. You have the understanding- and the knowing now that all of it truly is, human nature. Most play by the rules and don't know. The few that know the rules are powerful. Continue on your journey- life is very intentional. It does not give anything we do not need. It does not do "waste."Everything always goes to something. Lots of love on this pursuitCheck out my New substack with A LOT about this- my poetry, recent happenings with my mother, and a different side I learned about Michael Jackson. So Excited to share all of this. Thanks so much for being with me on my journey.

    Emerging With Potential After the Pandemic

    For millions of people around the word, they were forced to face their subconscious mind that they'd been running from all their life during the pandemic. For many of us, if the pandemic wasn't enough or didn't affect us directly, we had our own personal circumstances and journeys. Some of us went through both- we were directly impacted by the pandemic, and also had our personal journeys. For those of us that were ill and also encountered and healed our psyche, we are emerging from this period as butterflies after a long awakening. The period we spent in isolation is now coming to an end. And our new personality, depth, character, and integrity is showing. The ways in which we were held back our entire life are now allowing- we are creating and building the purpose for which our life was intended. If you are on this path, stay the course of your potential- prioritize building and creating, until you are fervently operating at the state of your potential longterm, and sufficiently operating on a daily basis in the form of morning routine to then go about your day in your potential state. life is taking care of everything. Just stay the path of your potential. Lots of love.

    Getting Yourself to the State where You Access Your Potential

    In the last few days I've been operating at my potential Consistently. It's not my thinking mind- in fact it requires me to let go of my thinking mind completely. It's just flow. and I've realized, that I need to start my day in this way and then go about whatever else I need to do- laundry, eat, even basic bodily functions. It's like- the most important thing is my potential. And when I'm calm, and regulated, I'm able to go through my day in a better way- more stable. And life really is about this stability. The more you access your potential, the more you're in tune with this stability. It could be 3 hours that you spend at the start of your day to achieve your potential state, but at the end of those 3 hours you realize that the stability you access is actually way more stable than who you were before. We're all working with a primitive caveman like brain- that literally is the complete opposite of who we are. Give your mind an outlet to channel its hoards of energy- and do it until you are cleared sufficiently and access this stability. Then go on about your day.

    Awakening into the Woman with Authority: Loss of Longterm Relationship, Trauma w/ Mother

    Much has changed. Can now see the fear based identity and the mistake. This evening my brother came and was calling my mom. Fear rose in the voice of saying, "She's in the shower." But I didn't. Fear only arises when I don't become the fear. How interesting. Mom came home an hour before and was talking to her nonstop- fear arose again when I didn't continue the conversation- it's like something said/knew this is "too much"- she's gonna think something about your new personality. The fear is there. It's in the body. Thank God life allows us the process to work it out, and to become it slowly. All of life is an awakening. If you've been on the journey with me, listen to this- about pleasing and waking up from a lifetime of distorting. lots of love-may the truth and clarity be yours-Zakia <3

    Bear Your Suffering

    It's all about who you're supposed to become. And you really don't know who that is- you're just here to experience life. And what will you experience?What insanity will you experience?You will bear it ultimately- you are meant to. Because the person that you're supposed to be is the one who has endured that suffering- who has been carved by it, softened by it, strengthened by it-Only you will speak it. Only you will know it. Only you will hold it- the capacity for that suffering-So go on- bear-This journey of life adamants you to stand straight in itOwn your sufferingUntil it becomes your service to the world

    The Journey of Overcoming People Pleasing to Being Normal

    This has been the journey of my life even when I didn't know it. But I knew the heartbreak the closer and closer I came to the end. The more I could see the lies and truths.No longer are there reason or justification. so just sitting with these harsh truths. and being likeoh my godmy mother really is mentally ill. She is a horrible mother. she shouldn't be a mother. sometimes the truth just is. and there isn't a reason or justification. then you can really let it break your heart and move closer and come to terms with it.
