Excessive Force - The Body Keeps The Score


The photograph below 
is indicative to a specific serinity 
I wanted to be engulfed by

After being on the receiving end
of unwarranted 
excessive force

Despite
how open, peaceful and loving you attempt to be people can only meet you, as deeply as they've met themselves.

Brooklyn, New York 


At this moment, as I write these words
 I still cannot gauge if I was being unrealistic towards myself
in regards to what transpired

Or walking around benumbed 
in a state of shock
Making myself believe it was okay to go to work 

Accustomed to pretending 
all was 
well


Albeit my attempt to hide pain
the sight of my appearance 
and the inability to move about normally
couldn't be concealed 

When asked:
Are you 
okay?

I didn't have the strength 
to fight the conditioning of
making up a fable - offering an excuse


Truth
was embraced 
instead of a lie 

To protect another's misdeeds


The look on the faces of my coworkers 
As I rehashed being body slammed to the ground
in the presence of bystanders 

Who used 
their cellphones 
to record manhandling 
was followed by glances of concern

When asked/told:
why didn't you go to the hospital?
You shouldn't be here right now!


I tried to assure 
what I deem to be 
prying eyes 

Making me feel uncomfortable 
under their gaze,
that I was fine


 My sentiments 
weren't reciprocated
and I was told to sit down and relax...


It's unfortunate 
when one endures a lifetime of abuse
being ignored is preferred as opposed to attention

 Not used to individuals taking notice
I sat thinking 
of a premeditated explanation 

Just in case tomorrow 
if asked AGAIN
I would have a better prepared response

I kept my 
"I'm Okay" -"I'm Fine"
charade going for about 
2 weeks 

Until my body took over and said:

 NO
YOU ARE NOT 
OKAY or FINE! 

My body shut down on me 
and I had to take the same amount of time to recuperate
as I did presenting all to be well. 

2 weeks


January 27, 2020
I reenacted the scene of excessive force
to heal myself/rewire my body. 

In order to overcome
trauma/pain 
One must return 

To the place that caused it.



First, I walked over to the wall I was sitting up against 
to charge my cellphone
as I sat on the ground. 

I was told to get up & move elsewhere.   



Next, I waked over to the the area of the ground 
in which excessive force was used 
unnecessarily.  

I placed my hand on the ground I was slammed down against 
& heard myself being yelled at in my mind: get up!

How is it possible to get up off the ground 
with your hands behind your back
as you're literally behind shoved into it?

As the scene escalated
I envisioned the circle that was formed around my body 
as I lay faced down on the ground 
to prevent bystanders from recording 
what occurred  in their presence. 


Last, but certainly not least  (this tactic was used
 to embed humiliation/shame inside of me, 
as if I were a disobedient child placed on time out). 

I faced the triangular corner in the elevator
I was made to stand in with my hands behind my back
in overly tightened handcuffs 
slicing into my skin.


The aforementioned 
was action taken
in real space and time

An intangible visualization 
via photography
to show me my experiences are real

And let no one 
rewrite or diminish 
what transpired


In a passage above I wrote
I was conditioned through years off abuse
to conceal my own pain

To heal effectively 
one has to put in 
various forms of 


Effort 

Towards 
The
reclaiming of:

Mind/Body/Spirit

From thieves 
of life 
and joy

Granting
internal
liberation

Close Their Eyes



Mama, some people 
look like 
they're in the best of health. 

When they start dying it takes them years and years.

  
I once knew a Japanese guy. 
He use to work with me. He told me that, in Japan, 
they don't believe that people die of old age or a natural death.

They believe that they just get tired-a- livin', Mama. 


When they start 
feeling useless, 
they just close their eyes... 

  
I think Tony was beginnin' to feel as though 
he wasn't doin' anything, Mama,
 and he was kind of closin' his eyes for a long time.


 You know, tryin' to fight that useless feelin'. 


I don't think he died all of a sudden. 
Young people don't die 
that easy, Mama.



Or Maybe
Your Life
Was Just That Crazy

&

You Was
Begging for
Death





Environments of society
Adolescence
Foresees

Black Girl Lost
Alongside a 
Manchild in the promised land

 Formidable Seeds

All mother's  - can't reach
No father  - can teach

The clutches of frienship
Among
Premature infatuation

Bereaves
In it's
Inception

The test-tube
Of
Youth

Not knowing what to question

Living Out
Manifest
Destiny

Heavenly - Misdirection
Sets Them
Free

Given Their Wings
At
Birth

Instead of flying
Got lost
Trying

 To
Stay
Afloat

Trying to fight
That useless
Feeling

The Gift
&
The Curse

Eyes
Wide
Shut

Open - Closed

Mastery of choices



Which are you?

Are you what you have done
Or what you'd like to believe that you would not do
But have done.

You are what you do
And what you do frequently
Is coming from your conditioned self.

With all the best intentions
And with all the best input
People frequently make very poor choices
And then master that choice

Because at some point 
It worked for them.

When you lie and get away with it
It works
When you steal and get away with it
It works

I never find people
Who just 
Lie once
Steal once
Betray once

It becomes a pattern...


Actions

Speak Louder Than Words
And They Say: 


I Don't Care 





Her: You'd rather I be demure



Him: I'd rather you be rational 



Her: Meaning what? 

that I say noting about what I see
What I hear? 


Him: what have you heard?



Her: that you are capable of anything..



Him: Well, if you didn't tell me about it 

it couldn't have been very upsetting


Her: It made me sick to my stomach

This whole arrangement 


Him: What arrangement? 



Her: That I am to accept what you tell me

and ask nothing more
That I aid you in the business you conduct
and pretend I don't know what that business is


Him: I don't recall you ever saying no

to anything I put in front of you.


You make a little noise every now and then

to remind me what a good person you are


But a good person 

wouldn't be here right now.





What isn't acknowledged 

Be it 
The relationship(s)
A person is in

 Family members, friends & acquaintances 
The majority of one's time 
Is spent

Reflects
 By 
Mirroring 

Aspects 
Of the 
Self 

Nothing 
Is hidden 
Or concealed 

Pay Attention!

Not only 
To the company 
You keep


But how they choose 
To communicate with you
About you. 

Are you what you think you are?

Or

Oblivious to the pattern
Of mastering
Poor choices?  


I used the song above
 to illustrate a point 
lyrically through sound. 

Many believe themselves to be "good" 
for keeping the object of their affection secrets 
Or playing along with a specific agenda 

Believing 
It is synonymous 
With loyalty

When in essence
 It lacks 
Integrity 

If there ever comes a time
when a lack of personal merit 
begins to weigh said individual down

They are quickly reminded:

It isn't possible 
To be immersed in anything
that isn't already deeply embedded in their own character. 




I'll end 
How I 
Began

Which are you?

Are you what you have done
Or what you'd like to believe that you would not do
But have done.



Do The Knowledge

Chameleons of camouflage


No two people get the same version of a particular individual. 

Compartmentalization... 
pieces 
of a whole. 


Example: 
a man can raise
 two girls.

One is his biological daughter the other isn't. 

With one he is extremely abusive towards.
The other he never laid a finger on 
and gave everything to.

 By asking these two daughter's 
a question about the same man, 
you will receive 2 different answers. 

Both of them 
would be correct 
in their assessment. 

Depending on the listener, 
they will either believe both siblings
 or pick one over the other. 

Doesn't make the recollection 
of the depiction of said father
less truthful.

As already stated: 

No two people get the same version of a particular individual.

 To understand this aspect
is to know 
it is applicable to all. 

Can we be loving to some, and monstrosities to others? 

Or be loving to the majority 
and a selective few receive the wrath 
that is carefully concealed. 


Due to compartmentalization and what aspects of the self is shown to others, 
outsiders are constantly at odds with their 'opinions' 
of who is who. 

Chameleons of camouflage

Blending in with the environment 
or dress the part as if you belong somewhere 
you aren't supposed to be.


These different trajectories of a singular individual
can cause chaos
 among others.

Attempting to solidify
the relevance of information
believed to be resourceful 


This photo is tangible to the daughter of abuse.

As it marks the date she was no longer on the receiving end of pain by the man who raised her.


At 23 years old
mustering up the courage to ask:
why do you hit me & not your other children?

And hearing the response:
Because you look like your mother!
followed by a shocked expression at their own concealed rage.


Sometimes it takes someones voice to emit out of their mouths
 for them to realize
the damage they caused.

They say:
The best apology is changed behavior,
yet the scars remain.




A few hours ago I was angered & had to ask myself:
What is beneath what you're feeling
it's more than the surface.

My life as it is now
as painful as it is
is healing a younger version of

Self.







Everybody on your path
is a servant 
to your higher & best self

There's POWER
in the
deficit!

Part 2: The Power Of Moments 🧬


When I want to study/learn, I disconnect myself from all distractions ensuring I am focused on the material of my choosing.  

Upon reconnecting to the outside world via the internet at 7:44pm 🤯 I heard what I read a few hours earlier emitting out of the mouth of a YouTuber I was told about less than 24 hours ago. 

 Video: Oneness Vs Individual consciousness (Young Pharoh)

 Learning Material/Book 📖 Sacred Geometry :

 7.23
is the wavelength of our universe, this 3rd dimension.
As you go up into dimensional levels,
the wavelength gets shorter and shorter, with higher and higher energy... 

Just as with a piano, there's spaces between the notes, so that when you hit one note, there's a very definite place where the next note is. 

 In this waveform universe we exist in, there is a very definite place where the next dimensional level exists... 



Why I scrolled down & selected a specific video
bypassing more than twenty, just to hear words previously read
come out of someone else's mouth = intangibles

 The aforementioned occurred within 3 minutes of watching said Youtuber

I hit the ⏸ button
and have yet to listen to the rest of what he's saying because I was instantly amazed!
A jolt of energy went into me and gave me goosebumps.

 I don't think it's possible to process information
while your entire body is undergoing
 a specific sensation.

 I just had unbearable cramps and they literally stopped hurting 🤯
my body is
awe inspired.

 My interest is beyond piqued
as to why specific individuals can pass off information
with the uncanny ability to coincide with what I am already immersed in
 on my own accord.

Synchronicity
 The power of moments
 or manifestation. 



Elevate It
Tap Into
Your Directions...



From Your Root
To Your
Crown

Let Your Center
Shine Bright
And Reflect The Light

The Power Of Moments 🧬

I don't know whether to categorize what I just experienced as "the power of moments"... synchronicity, manifestation or speaking something into existence.



My entire body has been in extreme discomfort
awaiting my menstrual cycle
to begin.

I calculated/counted how many days
it was running behind schedule
& googled what I was experiencing

I laughed to myself and labeled google a hypochondriac
because attempting to 'research' what one feels will have you believing
or rather entertaining the worst case scenario

I swear fo GAWD
within 10-15 minutes, as I was sweeping the living room floor
I noticed the blind for the balcony door was haphazard
so I reached up behind the curtains to take it down and fix it

As I rolled the blind neatly back into place
and reached upwards to put it back in place
I felt a warmth leave out of my body and froze.

An inward sensation of noooo way!

I knew my menstrual cycle had literally just begun
but went to the bathroom to double check
if my eyes saw what I felt with my body.

Interestingly, what I googled moments earlier
presented itself in real space & time
eliminating any suggestions of
something being "wrong".

I had to capture this moment via writing
to have a documented recollection of today
so when the future me goes back to read it
there is a point of reference signifying:

🎶.. Everything Will Manifest Because I Wrote It... 🎶

Whether it is with a pen & pad
or an electronic device
words have the power to take form

Instantaneously
at that!



The average monthly cycle is between 21 to 35 days, 

where the average lunar month is 29.53 days.


 Your monthly cycle naturally ebbs and flows in an episodic nature. 

As you grow spiritually, your cycle only further syncs itself to become more connected 
to the earth’s cycle. 


 Your cycle may match itself and align with a cycle of the moon, 

and as this does, it can heighten 
your intuition on peak days. 

 Through your observations, 

you may find your intuitive abilities changing 
depending on when you ovulate or menstruate. 


When your cycle is in alignment with the moon, there are two types of moon-synced cycles. 


 Both serve different purposes 

for the different seasons of a woman’s life and enhance intuition. 


 The Red Moon Cycle 

is typically associated with women who are 
more using their feminine energy in a creator fashion.  

 Usually, you'll sync this way if you are focusing on working with your gifts

 to create magic, art, or to build your career, 
birthing something like a project.  


 The White Moon Cycle 

is typically associated with women in their childbearing years; women who are having or wanting to have children, or women already have children. 

 As you might imagine, 

the cycle your body aligns with either the Red or the White Cycle 
will change throughout your lifetime as you move through various phases. 


 Think of it like a pendulum swinging back and forth.  


 There are times 

and seasons for each type of cycle 
syncing.  

 If you notice your cycle changing length to match one of these patterns, 

it’s good news - it’s a sign that even your body is becoming 
more intuitive.
