In this episode of The Brilliant Mind, Zakia reflects on a group meeting after years of navigating identity dissolution alone. It is the first time she is in the company of those who have an understanding or at least know how unexplainable this process is. She feels energized after the meeting, but also wonders if she made it alone until this point because of her deep need for acceptance, approval and to be understood by others- all things she had to let go of and be conpletely alone on this journey.
She shares insights on the nature of the self, the mind’s need for control, and the deep surrender that comes with embracing the unknown. Through personal stories of transformation, misunderstandings, and letting go of the need to be understood, this episode explores the freedom that arises when beliefs and identities dissolve.
There is only one thing that allowed her to trust and stand alone.
Tune in to find out what that is- and for a raw and introspective conversation on the nature of awakening, the end of internal conflict, and what it means to settle into the unknown.
