From Goddesses to God

As one who was once a practicing Muslim, there were things that I read in the Quran that caught my attention, and I would ask for clarification, but would only receive responses back to, "Trust in Allah."  Questions needed answers, and I'm one to go seek them out. But every time I would read the Quran the verse concerning Allah not having daughters would always stop me in reading, as I pondered why this was being mentioned. 

 Journey with me back through the Arabian past where worshippers had different gods. In a time before religion became monotheistic, and brought Islam to Arabia, there were those who venerated the feminine. 

A past where the Quran briefly mentions these three goddesses as not being the daughters of Allah. 

There was a time in Arabia's past where the people were polytheistic. 

Come join me as I travel and show who these women were that were once venerated, and adored and sewn into the culture of Arabia. 

My book, From Goddess to God: Pre-Islamic Arabian Goddesses is available as an ebook here at Payhip.

Quantum Entanglement or Synchronicity

 

                    

The Physics of Fate: From Quantum Entanglement to Synchronicity

I was watching a short film on YouTube called Quantum Entangled. It dealt with two people who crossed paths three times without realizing it, until the woman finally notices him.

Once she does, he is suddenly so present in her reality that everywhere she goes, there he is. It happens so much that she actually thinks he’s following her. The movie then dips back to the guy in class, listening to his professor explain Quantum Entanglement. The guy thinks this physics phenomenon is exactly what he’s experiencing, and he tells the woman about it.

He also shares this theory with his friend. The friend quickly points out that Quantum Entanglement is strictly about subatomic particles. The guy responds with the ultimate line: "We're subatomic particles." To prove his point about their entanglement to the girl, he tells her to drive to a random place and he'll meet her there. She asks, "How do I know you won't follow me?" He simply says, "I'll be there waiting." And sure enough, against all odds, he is.

In physics, this is known as Quantum Entanglement. Initially, I wanted to equate this purely with "Oneness." I realized that Oneness, also known as Non-Duality, is the ultimate state of realizing that separation is an illusion. Just as two entangled particles act as a single system, Non-Duality teaches that you and the universe are not separate, but part of one unbroken whole. We see this across many traditions: in Buddhism, it's "The Net of Indra"; in Western esotericism and mysticism, it's the "Anima Mundi" (The Soul of the World); and in New Age spirituality, it’s expressed as "Twinflames."

But after sitting with the movie today, it occurred to me that the exact word I was searching for to make Quantum Entanglement relatable to our human experience was synchronicity.

At some point in time, most of us have experienced what the two characters in this movie did. The act of not noticing someone, and then suddenly noticing them all the time. Or constantly seeing the specific vehicle that someone drives. Or constantly smelling a perfume or cologne someone you used to know always wore, whether you smell it on strangers, or it's a "phantom smell" that appears out of nowhere and disappears just as quickly. These are all perfect examples of synchronicities.

This concept goes even deeper when you look at the Twin Flame theory. Many people report an unexplainable telepathy or an intuitive "knowing" with their counterpart. You suddenly think of a specific song, and they text you the lyrics a second later. You feel an abrupt wave of anxiety out of nowhere, only to find out they just went through a stressful moment. Science might not have proven human telepathy in a lab yet, but the experience of it is a textbook synchronicity. It is the ultimate mental entanglement, the inner world of one person perfectly mirroring the inner world of another with no physical explanation.

The term "synchronicity" was coined by psychologist Carl Jung. He defined them as meaningful coincidences with no logical, physical cause.

Think about the climax of the short film. She asks how she knows he won't just follow her to the meetup. He says, "I'll be there waiting," and he is. That isn't stalking. That is a synchronicity acting as a bridge. It is the universe dropping a breadcrumb to show you the interconnected web. We like to think we are isolated individuals, but the movie challenges that.

In fact, the professor in the film states:

"Have you ever started noticing someone everywhere? At the coffee shop. On the subway. At a random street corner. Eventually, you start feeling like you're being followed. But what if you aren't being stalked? What if you are being entangled?"

This film beautifully reminds us of a deeper spiritual truth: there is no space between us anymore.

💬 Let's Discuss!

• What's the strangest "coincidence" or synchronicity you've ever experienced?
• Have you ever experienced that Twin Flame telepathy or a sudden, unexplainable "knowing"?
• Have you ever smelled a "phantom smell" that felt like a cosmic sign?

Overheard

                             

      By D I. Muhammad 

I'm in the middle of rewriting my Goddesses to God book, so I can publish it.  I had to take a break.  Functioning on just ice coffee wasn't going to do it.  I go downstairs,  and crack open my front door to let some air in, and if my cats want to watch the world they can. 

I'm standing in the living room looking for something to munch on and in the quiet of my neighborhood block I hear a man's voice. He's loud, not screaming loud, but loud. I hear the voice get closer to my house and he says, "What you mean,Naw?"

I'm still looking out the window to see a shadow walking up my porch. It's my mailman.  He gets on my porch still talking on his phone, as he slides my mail in the mail slot.  "So, what I believe in, you don't?"  He walks off my porch as the person on the other end says something.  I hear him say calmly,  "Wait a minute." Calmly again he says, "Wait a minute, slow down, but your saying..."  I then went back to doing what I was doing saying out loud, "He having issues with his lady."

We all have relationship issues, but here's the thing, most of us in the beginning don't vet out the people we seek.  Asking the questions that we find are important to us.  Is there an energy of connection.  Not horniness. Connection.  

After he left, my first reaction was, 'Is that a negotiation?'  Yes, we all have opinions, that is what makes us unique,  but my thing is are we aligned in our way of viewing things. The way I see things can be different, it should be, but if it's way off the track different that we are going to constantly bump heads, then why are we here with each other.   

But in my mail man's voice there was a sound of hurt, and maybe a little betrayal, but whatever the issue was, I hope he works it out, if that is what he seeks. 

We are now in a season where couples will be tested as those who do not truly belong together will be moved apart from one another, and those who are supposed to be Divinely aligned will finally get their match.  

This is a time of chosing which side of the energy track you want to be on. One of purpose and alignment or the same low vibratory one you have been living in since the day you were born.  You are being given a chance to chose before the energetic door closes.

The person in your life. That job. Whatever it may be can be your peace or your hell.  Finding out early if a person is morally, mentally, emotionally compatible with you early is how you vet people out.  I believe in there's a person Divinely designed for you.  We shouldn't have to settle.

Catching that piece of my mailman's conversation confirmed something for me, love isn't something to negotiate. It's about whole connection and understanding between both parties. I hope he finds his way to that, whatever the issue was.

Deer in my Backyard

  

                             

Image by Edward Roets

      I live in the city and just saw Bambi in my backyard tonight. How she got there without being seen is mind blowing.  My cat doesn't know what to make out of it.  He's just on guard. 

I am in awe right now to see this beautiful animal up close and personal.  That it decided to come visit me.  

My 24 year old daughter rushed upstairs and broke me out my writing excitedly waving her hands for me to come saying something I didn't catch. Not once but twice. I get up anyway. As I rush behind her out my room, I ask, "What you say?"  "There's a deer in the backyard."  

I'm rushing down the stairs now. I get to the back door and there she is just standing there looking around.  I say to my daughter, "You're not videoing this?"  I'm standing at the back door with my hand covering my open mouth. I'm just stunned. In awe. 

My daughter gave me her phone to record.  She, the deer,  walks around. Comes close to my back door to look at my cat.   She then walks over to eat the weeds growing.  

I watched this deer for five minutes.  The little girl in me came out today watching that deer.  I still don't understand how she wasn't seen walking the neighborhood and how she got into my backyard. 

Videos are not the best. 

The spiritual meaning of seeing a deer

For the End of the Year Event for my Pre-K class we had a day in the park. The park was in Southfield,  MI.  People are used to seeing deer.  After the event was over and I'm driving up Beech Daley, I catch a deer running into the woods.    If this is the meaning I've been told to slow down and to approach my challenges gently.  You never know how signs will approach you to act towards yourself and the situations you face.   Just listen. 

You're in Menopause and Don't Realize it

It was beautiful sunny day, and my daughter wanted me to go with her to a Pride Festival that was being held at Hart Plaza.  I went to support her.  I felt good. I paid my fee, saw a handsome police officer, smiling at him flirting.   The sun was beaming, and I began to feel like I was being pulled on, so I sat on the grass.  When I got up 5 minutes later and walked down a few steps, holding on to the wall, I called my daughters name in a panic, and automatically squatted with my head between my legs.  Still holding on to the edge of the wall by the grass.  My daughter was frantic.  I have my eyes closed taking in deep breathes.  A man walked by and nonchalantly asks, " Is She ok?"  My daughter is just frantic. He tells her that I  need to sit down or some water.    Instinct said don't move keep your head down and keep breathing.  I did.  A few seconds later a woman walks by and tells my daughter. " I'll stay with her so you can ho get her some water."  My daughter does. I look up, and the woman asks if I'm okay enough to go sit down on the grass.  She had a small umbrella that she covered me with.  I slowly walk back up the few stairs and sit on the grass under a tree. The lady still covering me with her umbrella.   I'm looking for my daughter still deep breathing.  The woman asked if I was okay. I told her, "All the stress I've been under finally caught up to me." 

My daughter comes back with the bottled water and I chug it.  I was so grateful to that woman for what she did.  To this day I see her as an angel.  That moment scared me. It scared my daughter and she voiced it sitting in that grass. This was June 2025.

Forward to June 2026, and I'm online, scrolling TikTok, and I stop on a Live because I see a medium sized whiteboard  behind a woman speaking with the words:

"Menopause 123"
Peri-Menopause 40+
Menopause -12 months no period
After/Post- Critical

Critical was circled in red marker.  

She just finished talking about the history of what she wrote on that board.  After seeing that, I entered the Live. I was now a student ready to hear what she needed to say.

She reinterrated what was on the board.

"Peri-Menopuse starts at 40, then you move to Menopuse when you go 12 straight months with no cycle.  That means you can't have no more babies. Your wombs been through alot taking stuff in. Taking stuff out. Having babies. It's tired. Then when you get here to After/Post that's the most critical. You lose your estrogen and you can't get that back, so you have to help the body out by replacing it how ever you going to do that.  Low estrogen is linked to all types of symptoms. I'm going to give them to you, which is linked to cardiovascular disease."

In that moment my mind ran to my mom. She ended up with a pacemaker before she transitioned.  That line. That word shook me. Cardiovascular disease. 

She spoke about advocating for yourself when you go to the doctor,  because they don't even link low estrogen and progesterone, or having the lack of, with cardiovascular disease.  She then began to list the symptoms.

[  ] High Blood Pressure
[  ] Dental Problems
[  ] Eczema
[  ] Dry/Itchy eyes
[  ] Fatigue
[  ] Dry Mouth
[  ] Verbal fluences ( stuttering)
[  ] Night Sweats
[  ] Breast Pain
[  ] Burning feet
[  ] Phantom smells
[  ] Weight gain
[  ] Mood Swings
[  ] Easy Bruising ( when you know you didn't bump into anything)
[  ] Dry Relations (i.e. vaginally dryness which leads to uncomfortable sexual relations)
[  ] Hip/ Back Pain
[  ] Ringing of the Ear
[  ] UTI
[  ] Change in Appetite/ Cravings
[  ] Digestive Issues
[  ] Pelvic floor changes
[  ] Brain Fog
[  ] GERD's (Acid Reflux)
[  ] Forgetfulness, Confusion
[  ] Sudden Anxiety, Depression
[  ] Heart Palpations

The things Carmen stated that speeds these symptoms up are:

[  ] Alcohol
[  ] Smoking
[  ] Sugar
[  ] Stress
[  ] Spicy Foods
[  ] Tight Clothes
[  ] Caffeine


I looked at this list shocked.  It explained so many things that I have been experiencing.  My mind quickly wondered and I had to tap back in.

As women,  we know Menopause to be linked with hot flashes and mood swings.  Carmen just showed it was deeper. 

She then informed us that estrogen hits the top of the head  to the bottom of the feet, and there's nothing in the middle which can cause that apron belly in women.  As estrogen depletes it can effect cognitive thinking.  It can bring on symptoms of dizziness/ vertigo. The loss of teeth.  You can be anywhere in this journey.  It'll hit some earlier than others. 

I stated earlier that  loss of estrogen/ progesterone is linked to Cardiovascular disease.  My mom  had a triple bypass when i was in my twenties, then years later ended up with a pacemaker.   She's no longer here. It had me thinking if her cardiovascular issues were linked to low estrogen. The doctors don't know, so it's up to us as women to do our due diligence and study this as Carmen has.  There's no research being done. Doctors aren't trained this deep in women's health.

Carmen stated a woman can be anywhere in her journey with this.  Some women may not hit the critical point until later in life. There are those who will hit it quicker, and that's women who have had a hysterectomy.  You no longer have a womb or ovaries, so as soon as they remove it, your estrogen levels drop immediately.   You need to replenish your estrogen and progesterone quickly with some sort of hormone replacement therapy.

Our moms knew nothing of this, but what they were told.  They had no clue.  They suffered quietly.  How could they possible pass down information  that would empower their daughters when there were so many other things attached to this.

We need the estrogen because it protects bone density, hair, skin.  Without it, it can have you looking youthful this year and next year having you look like you aged five years.

It's not all downhill.  She gave the audience remedies.


Remedies

HRT(Hormone Replacement Therapy)

"In 2003 HRT was said to cause cancer, which had some people pull away from it.  If you are prone to blood clots, had a cycle 10 years ago they won't give you HRT."

According to the NIH in their National Library of Medicine,

"The history of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) started in the 1960s, with very high popularity in the 1990s. The first clinical trials on HRT and chronic postmenopausal conditions were started in the USA in the late 1990s. After the announcement of the first results of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) in 2002, which showed that HRT had more detrimental than beneficial effects, HRT use dropped. The negative results of the study received wide publicity, creating panic among some users and new guidance for doctors on prescribing HRT. The clear message from the media was that HRT had more risks than benefits for all women. In the following years, a reanalysis of the WHI trial was performed, and new studies showed that the use of HRT in younger women or in early postmenopausal women had a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, reducing coronary disease and all-cause mortality. Notwithstanding this, the public opinion on HRT has not changed yet, leading to important negative consequences for women’s health and quality of life." (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6780820/)


She then told the audience that Biden was the first President to approve funding for research into Women's health, and that the sitting President retracted that funding.

"December 12, 2024

Today, the President and First Lady hosted the first-ever White House Conference on Women's Health Research. The Conference, organized in collaboration with the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research and the Milken Institute, brought together business and philanthropic leaders, academic researchers, women's health advocates, investors, and federal agency representatives to showcase the President and First Lady's historic leadership to advance women's health research and discuss how to continue making progress on improving women's health.

Launched by President Biden and Dr. Biden in November 2023, the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research has worked to fundamentally change how our country approaches and funds research on women's health. Since its launch, the Initiative has galvanized nearly $1 billion in funding to close gaps in research on women's health. These investments will advance research to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and conditions that affect women uniquely, disproportionately, and differently—from menopause to brain disorders to cardiovascular disease." (ICYMI: The White House Hosts First-Ever Women's Health Research Conference, https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/icymi-the-white-house-hosts-first-ever-womens-health-research-conference)



The current sitting President did retract it on January 24, 2025, but turned right back around , and kept the funding for research.


"The Department of Health and Humans Services changed course and will continue funding for the Women's Health Initiative.

Updated April 25, 2025 at 17:30 PM ET

The Trump administration is restoring financial support for a landmark study of women's health, an official said Thursday, reversing a defunding decision that shocked medical researchers.

"These studies represent critical contributions to our better understanding of women's health," said a statement from Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services.

The decision was made because the National Institutes of Health, which funds the Women's Health Initiative, or WHI, has "initially exceeded its internal targets for contract reductions," Nixon said. "We are now working to fully restore funding to these essential research efforts."

The Trump administration has demanded that all federal health agencies cut their spending on contracts by at least 35%, undergo massive layoffs and terminate hundreds of research grants.

"NIH remains deeply committed to advancing public health through rigorous gold standard research and we are taking immediate steps to ensure the continuity of these studies," Nixon added.

The news came a day after NPR reported on the plan to cut the project's funding." (In a reversal, the Trump administration restores funding for women's health Study, https://www.vpm.org/npr-news/npr-news/2025-04-24/in-a-reversal-the-trump-administration-restores-funding-for-womens-health-study)

The Perspective of Relationships From Grown Men

 

                                     

Photo by Andres Ayrton

  I admit I watch a ĺot of YouTube.  It's mostly for movies,  and the video creators I subscribe  too. But what I notice coming through my algorithm of something I never searched for was arguments, debates and match making with people of color.  

 I scrolled pass these videos until I got nosy, and started looking at them to see what they were all about.  They disturbed my spirit.

I've said and will continue to say that we need each other.  These relationship videos are centered around people who have begun to do their own personal healing, or may not have healed anything in their life at all,  giving other people advise on how to date. What type of person to be with or not be with. 

It's all about connection. Going deeper than surface level to find the person your trying to find. Because when you do go beyond surface level and both of you can be honest and transparent you can heal through each other. If that makes sense. It starts with one doing the initial work. Growing that relationship in a way that works for the both of you.  

You're supposed to be loving and growing together. As a unit.  You will always be growing and developing personally,  but even in that you and your partner should always be developing together. 

I had a hard time uploading the full video called, The Feminine Ear: The Men Are Talking.

Robin Mason got a group of men together to express honestly and with transparency their views on relationships. It was done with class, and the men elegantly expressed their views. 

Then at the twenty minute mark a man by the name of Dr. Bobby Price said these words that summed what we are witnessing on the internet very well.

The conversations spilling off the internet into real life are childish. They have no substance. How can you vet someone you never asked a real question? Dr. Price said it best, and what happened in that room after is proof that men are capable of going deeper when someone leads them there.

And it was at that point that the conversation became more richer, genuine, insightful, honest and transparent.  

The following is just a snippet of the full video that is linked under the video.  I hope you enjoy this grown conversation as much as I did.
