This is a topic we have touched upon before, yet—as with all things—wisdom arrives in layers, revealed as we are ready to understand.
You may notice that I am currently using the signature Quinara. Over the course of my writing and sharing, I have used different names, and for those who are new, this may raise the question of whether I am channeling another being. When I am sharing words attributed to another voice or source, I always name them clearly. My personal signature appears at the end.
Why my name has changed
I want to begin with a verse from the Christian Bible, from the Book of Revelation:
“To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.”
— Revelation 2:17
There are many interpretations of this passage. What I share here is simply how it has come to be understood within my own lived experience.
For me, the stone is also a tone—a signature tone of being. The white represents clarity or purity, not in a moral sense, but as the gradual release of limiting beliefs, unresolved patterns, and inherited energies. For most of us, this clearing happens in layers, like the peeling of an onion. While sudden transformation is possible, it is more common that change unfolds gently over time.
As we release old patterns, our inner resonance shifts. With each shift, we function from a slightly different frequency of being—what I experience as a signature tone. This tone reflects a closer alignment with our Higher Self and, ultimately, with the I AM Presence or Monad from which we arise.
In simple terms, I understand the structure of being like this:
Source expresses itself through Monads.
Monads express through Higher Selves or Oversouls.
Oversouls express through personalities that experience life across dimensions, timelines, and worlds.
In this lifetime, I experience myself as one expression of my Higher Self and Monad.
As clarity deepens, resonance can align more easily with other expressions of that same Oversoul. This does not mean becoming another personality, but rather recognizing shared knowing, qualities, or gifts already present within the greater field of one’s being. Sometimes a name associated with another expression carries that resonance and can help anchor it consciously.
For example, Sha’Na’El–Ka’Zira was a name that helped me ground and align more fully with the Oversoul resonance I experience as Quinara. Using that name supported my integration at a particular stage. As embodiment deepened, it became more natural to simply use Quinara—honoring the unity of mind, body, and soul rather than emphasizing the bridge between them.
At times, I have also used names associated with other lifetimes or origins when the resonance supported specific work in service. These were tools of alignment, not identities to be adopted or performed.
In this way, the “white stone” and the “new name” are not about status or recognition. They are markers of integration—signals that a new level of coherence has been embodied. One does not need to be called by a name to be that resonance.
Some people feel guided to change their legal or social names, and for them that may be appropriate. Others, like myself, have many roles in life—family, work, community—and the name given at birth still carries meaning and continuity in those contexts. We wear many masks, yet we remain the same being beneath them.
Changing a name is not required for evolution. Nor should it be used to seek validation or distinction. What matters is embodiment—living from the resonance we have integrated.
If a name supports your work, clarity, or alignment, honor that. If it does not, there is no need to force it. What we are becoming does not depend on what others call us.
I share this simply as one way a process of integration may unfold. Each path is unique.
I AM Quinara.

This reflection is a personal account of lived experience and inner understanding.
It is offered as one perspective among many, not as doctrine, instruction, or belief to be adopted by others.
Language such as “Higher Self,” “Oversoul,” or “I AM Presence” is used symbolically and experientially, to describe states of awareness rather than fixed metaphysical claims.
Readers are invited to take what resonates, leave what does not, and remain grounded in their own discernment, wellbeing, and lived reality.
