@newsstoriez, Robert Thomas opened the first Black-owned grocery store in Houston, Texas, last November.
He converted his nightclub into what is now known as District Market Green Grocer, the city’s first Black-owned grocery store.
His market sells fresh fruits and vegetables, and offers products from more than 40 Black local businesses.
Thomas has always been interested in nutrition. He told The Houston Chronicle about the idea behind his store. “There were long lines outside of the grocery store during the pandemic. This resulted in the creation of pop-up shops and farmers’ markets. I began to say to myself, why aren’t these products are not in big block stores. This gives me an idea to create a place for these small business owners to sell their products.”
He says he aims to open more Black-owned grocery stores across the country.

VOID SUCCESS STORY
how to actually induce the void state ◟﹒ʚɞ
when you look at how people describe the void, there is very little agreement. some people say it is pure awareness. others say it is a deep meditative state. some describe it as mind awake, body asleep. others describe it as a completely different reality. some people experience darkness, while others experience light, colors, or even a completely customizable environment.
if all of these experiences are different, then what is actually constant?
the constant is not the void itself. the constant is awareness. regardless of how someone defines the void, they are still aware of it. they are aware of the darkness. aware of the formlessness. aware of the sensation. aware of the belief they have about it. even the statement “i entered the void” is something that is known afterwards.
this is why i find awareness more fundamental than the void. people disagree endlessly about what the void is, but nobody can deny the fact that the experience is being known.
that also changed the way i think about “inducing” the void.
most people approach it as if they need to force themselves into a special state. they try harder, affirm harder, concentrate harder, and end up turning the void into another goal to chase.
but if awareness is already present, then what exactly are you trying to reach?
ironically, many of the stories i’ve read from people who claim to have entered the void involve them relaxing, letting go, falling asleep, meditating, or simply stopping the struggle for a moment.
that’s why i think the biggest obstacle is often the belief that the void is somewhere else.
whether you use affirmations, meditation, subliminals, self-inquiry, SATS, or no method at all, every approach seems to point back to the same thing: becoming less focused on chasing an experience and more aware of what is already here.
i’m not saying the void doesn’t exist. clearly people have experiences that they call the void.
i’m simply questioning whether the void is the foundation itself or whether it is another experience appearing within the foundation.
because no matter what conclusion i arrive at, one thing always remains: the experience is being known.
and that fact always leads me back to awareness. 🧁
My void state success story + how to enter the void state
I wrote this post https://www.tumblr.com/theididixif/820934707168575488/i-dont-know-which-emily-theyre-talking-about/replies/821036788989771776 and got a lot of feedback. I wasn’t expecting it, but since you’re interested, I’ll be happy to share my story and the conclusions I’ve come to
But before that, I want to make a disclaimer. I’m not a coach. I’m just sharing my personal story and thoughts. You are solely responsible for your own life, which is actually good news. You can believe me or not. But I was genuinely touched that people are disappointed in the reality of the void state, when it’s literally the most natural state in the universe. Honestly, I didn’t come to this conclusion right away either
I won’t tell my whole life story because I don’t think it’s that important. I’ll just say that I learned about LOA about five years ago, and about the void state around the same time
My circumstances weren’t the best. I really had issues with my mental state, money problems, and my environment. I started applying the law of assumption to manifest some desires. But honestly, it always felt kind of random. I just didn’t fully understand how it actually worked. But later I realized I was too involved in the external reality and struggled to do anything about it
So I decided to dive deeper into the void state. I started reading a lot of stories and posts about it. I tried many times. But it always ended with me either falling asleep or just not being able to focus and nothing happening. Still, I knew I wouldn’t rest until I did it. And even if this is the biggest lie in the universe, I wouldn’t lose anything by continuing my journey. Like, what difference does it make? The odds are 50/50. Either I win this game or I lose, but I won’t lose anything. And this went on for about three years. Sometimes I took breaks
Despite everything, I kept trying, looking for different approaches. I read all the posts by @catherineaboutlife. This is one of my favorite blogs because she was the only one who gave me hope that it’s easy and completely natural. So I decided to try what she suggested, to follow ONLY the voice from any guided meditation. I lay down, calmed down a bit, played a random meditation on YouTube, and started directing ALL my attention ONLY to the voice in the meditation. If any thoughts came up, I gently brought my attention back to the voice, without engaging with the thought. And after some time, I entered the void state! God, it was beautiful. I couldn’t feel my body at ALL, there were no thoughts, and the sound from the meditation faded away, leaving complete silence. But I didn’t realize I had entered the void state until I came out of it
I wasn’t upset that I hadn’t manifested anything, because I realized that if I entered the void state, then everything they say about the power of this state is REAL. Like, it’s not fake. How can I doubt the void state and my ability to manifest from it if I literally experienced it? But at the same time, I didn’t feel like my void state experience was complete because my goal was to manifest desires from it.
Unfortunately, the next attempts didn’t work. Because of my previous experience, I would go into a state of expecting the void state, which paradoxically only pushed me further away from it. Another streak of failures started. But I knew I would succeed anyway, so it didn’t matter. I had already been in the void state! And that’s not even a joke, damn it!!!
One day I fell asleep during an attempt to enter the void state and accidentally entered a lucid dream. It wasn’t the first time, but I always get scared, haha. At the end of the dream, I felt sick and started fainting. And when I opened my eyes, I was in the void state!!! And the most important thing was that I finally fully realized I was in the void state. I imagined that a specific person, someone I really wanted to hear from, had messaged me. When I came out of the void state, for the first few seconds I didn’t understand anything. Everything was normal. I even forgot I had entered the void state in the first minute
Then I picked up my phone and THERE WAS A MESSAGE FROM THAT EXACT PERSON. On one hand, it felt so natural, but at the same time I was so happy because I realized I had LITERALLY INSTANTLY MANIFESTED IT. And no, it wasn’t just a coincidence. I had never talked to or seen this person before. We were literally strangers, but I really liked him and I wanted him to reach out to me. And he messaged me exactly when I came out of the void state.
I wrote more about my story here: https://www.tumblr.com/catherineaboutlife/791098569889382400/just-what-i-entered-the-void-state-bitch-this-is?source=share
That day I realized that if I could do that, I could manifest ANYTHING.
So I started trying to enter the void state again. And again. And again. And then I found myself in another cycle of failed attempts. Yes, I wanted it so badly that I ended up creating more distance between myself and the void state. I knew I couldn’t keep going like this. I know what the void state is. I’ve been in the void state. I manifested a desire from the void state. It’s real. It’s not a joke. So I can do it again
I started studying this topic in as much detail as possible. I analyzed all the success stories. I analyzed my own experience. I read THOUSANDS of posts about the void state. Because I felt there had to be some PRINCIPLE. There must be something that connects all the techniques and all the stories, including the failed ones. And I wanted to understand exactly what it was
After some time, I finally came to a conclusion. And yes, I tested my theory. And yes, baby, it ABSOLUTELY WORKS! I finally understood what exactly allows you to enter the void state
WELLL
The void state is your pure awareness. You are always aware, but when you’re in the external world, your awareness exists alongside the ego. The ego is you as a person. Your body, thoughts, doubts, fears, all feelings and emotions, all of that is the ego. The ego is, you could say, a tool through which you can interact with the external world. BUT ONLY THANKS TO YOUR AWARENESS CAN REALITY EXIST!!! Awareness is something that’s hard to describe in words, but you can feel it. Awareness is what remains when you take away EVERYTHING. The external world, the ego, circumstances, time. And yes, that is the void state.
Did you notice? Awareness exists ALWAYS. You are always aware. And yes, in a way, you are always in the void state. You’ve probably heard this many times, but it’s true.
But we know that our goal is to be in a full void state, where there is nothing but awareness. That’s the state from which you can manifest anything. INSTANTLYYY
And the whole PRINCIPLE (not a method!!!!) of entering the void state is to FOCUS ON AWARENESS, not on the mind. Yes, it’s all incredibly simple. All failed attempts happen because of WHERE your focus of attention is. And it’s on some physical things. Thoughts are included in that too.
So your task is to shift your focus of attention. That’s the only thing you need to do. But since our mind is always thinking, which is absolutely normal, we need to occupy it. And you can do that with affirmations, meditation (or rather, the voice in the meditation), counting numbers, or any other MENTAL ROUTINE work. The main thing is that your mind just performs it without getting engaged in it. In other words, you need to do it as mechanically as possible. And at the same time, your task is to be aware that you are aware, that you are awareness.
At some point, and it usually comes very quickly because the mind has nothing to latch onto, you enter the void state. EVERYTHING IS VERY SIMPLE. At the same time, you will be fully aware and can say your command if you want.
You can manifest ANYTHING from this state!!! INSTANTLY!!! Anything you can imagine CAN BE MANIFESTED!!!! You don’t even need to describe every detail, because as awareness, you already know what you need and in what form. So don’t worry. Whether you want to change your age, shift realities, or create a new universe. IT DOESN’T MATTER!!!
What will you feel when you come out of the void state? Most likely, you won’t experience a fireworks display of emotions, because everything will feel completely natural. Your ego will literally adjust to the new version of reality, which means that all thoughts, all memories, your body, and everything else will automatically adapt to the chosen version of reality.
I personally have already manifested my desired appearance, a lot of money, a relationship with a specific person, and things I dreamed of. But I’m not done yet and I plan to manifest some more things. So there’s still more to come!
So yes, guys, the conclusion is the same. The void state IS VERY SIMPLE AND NATURAL. The only thing you need to do is understand exactly how it works and apply your knowledge consciously.
I hope I haven’t forgotten anything, but if I do, I’ll add to this post if I remember. Have a slay day everyone!!! You can all do it!!!
