Channeled Message: "Act Like You Know"

written @ 3:01am April 25th, 2025 Cowrie shells have long been honored in many cultures as symbols of protection, prosperity, and spiritual connection. Worn in jewelry and woven into tribal regalia, they also serve as sacred tools in divination, carrying messages from the ancestors. Whether worn or cast, they are treated with deep care and reverence.

"You heard it here. Everywhere you turn, it seems like the messages you're hearing aren't matching how you feel.

People talking 'bout "new this and new that." But maybe you haven't seen it yet.

People telling you this gift gonna take you somewhere, but you're feeling forever stuck in the same place.

You're ready to run again, thinking a change in your environment is what you need to leave behind that stagnancy you just can't seem to shake. Life has been feeling ever-mundane. Forever cyclical. Déjà vu, but in the worst ways. You keep finding yourself in cycles that you've been in one too many times.

And then it hits you: I'm tired of listening to the same old voices. And that means external AND internal. I mean after all, is it not what you're attracting into your own curated algorithm of life? Isn't it?! Ain't you been saying "I don't know"? Ain't you been the one claiming "I don't know how..."? Ain't you the one calling your life fucked up and then acting surprised it has the audacity to be everything you've called it.

It's like you’re mad that that angry dog is a bitch. Ain't it though?!

All that to say, my gurll. My guy. Friend. You know it's time to wake up and smell the roses. And yes that may mean going out and buying the damn seeds from Lowe's garden, and planting them mfkas in the good soil. Yes I said "good soil." Not the dry, sandy shit you grew up playing in. Nawwww bih. It's time for you to choose your seeds and plant them in fertile ground. A verse is sitting at the edge of my memory. I know y'all gone remind me. Is it a mustard seed ...

Regardless, you have the choice to use what you have, what you've acquired in this life, to make a way out of no way. You have the spit, if nothing else, to water your seed. And I mean that. Fill that liquid from your body with intention. Keep on with those affirmations. Treat the time you spend in your temple like Lent or a boot camp where some loud assertive mfka is telling you what to do for no reason. Simply cause they the most intense mfka in the room. Or, you be the assertive one in your life. You tell yourself to get down and do those pushups. You tell yourself that you are worthy and blessed and guided and intuitive and wealthy and pleasing to the Lord, and your own eye. You tell yourself just how loved and protected and accepted you are by you. You affirm yourself. You advocate for yourself. You protect yourself. You honor yourself. You love ON yourself because you know you so well, people have to compete for a chance to love you !!!

And that's on good soil and soul!

Stop acting like you don't know what's good. Start moving like you remember who you are. And what you was placed on this earth for. And if you don't know, get to know what lights you up. What makes your heart skip a beat. What makes the world look brighter at a second glance. What you can get lost in. Find the places where you belong. Find the pockets of home in experience. The mansion built up with laughter and acceptance and truth and beautiful flaws.
