Stepping into Emotional Freedom By DL Zeta

Posted on Feb 16th, 2009 by DL Zeta : Portals of Consciousness DL Zeta
(Accessing Fifth-Dimensional Consciousness, Part 8)

One of your greatest allies in achieving fifth-dimensional
consciousness is emotional freedom. The emotional level of your being
is located between your conscious and subconscious minds. Since
emotions exist in the realm of the "unseen", they are a sub-level of
the subconscious mind. We can see the emotional level as a bridge --
or a great gaping chasm -- between conscious and subconscious minds.

Your Emotions Are Gatekeepers to Higher Consciousness

Because your emotions exist between the conscious and subconscious,
they serve as "gatekeepers" to higher consciousness. This is by
design. The condition of your emotional body determines whether your
emotions serve as a bridge or an obstacle to accessing your
subconscious mind at will. Until a person heals and clears their
emotions and enters a place of peace and love within themselves, they
won't gain access to the full array of advanced abilities that reside
within their higher self. It might be said that the emotional level
is a built-in protection mechanism. If you're challenged with
navigating physical reality and the realm of the emotions, you are not
yet ready to take on the unknown and untested waters of your
subconscious mind. Imagine this as akin to serving as captain of a
small boat. If you're unable to safely captain a boat on a small
lake, you won't likely be assigned captainship of a larger boat
sailing uncharted oceans.

The good news is that emotions can be healed and transformed with
awareness, intention and effort. We offer here some techniques for
healing and clearing emotions. Used regularly, these techniques will
allow you to cultivate the inner peace that is a prerequisite for
achieving emotional freedom and the vast wealth of spirit it helps you
to access.

Steps to Emotional Freedom

If you have a backlog of unresolved emotional issues, your emotions
are easily triggered by events, people and circumstances in your
present moment. This constant emotional upheaval perpetually binds
you to the illusion of victimhood, scarcity, self-doubt and other
scenarios that leave you feeling helpless and disempowered.
Helplessness and disempowerment lead to dense emotions triggered and
catalyzed by self-pity. Self-pity at its core is a denial of the
infinite nature of your being and the advanced capabilities of your
spirit. It leads to negative emotions that can block access to the
subconscious.

The triggering of unresolved emotional energy adds density and weight
to every rite of passage that is undertaken. Unresolved emotional
energy is one of the main reasons some turn back from rites of
passage. Transformational periods tend to bring up unresolved emotions
in an effort to purge them. To some, this clearing and cleansing may
seem unbearably painful. Ultimately, it is the willingness to face all
that "comes up" that allows one to take the leap within themselves
that leads to emotional freedom. Clearing the emotions opens the gates
to higher consciousness. When you're willing to see your emotions and
take responsibility for them, you are well on your way to healing and
releasing them.

Discovering Emotional Triggers

In order to clear residual emotions, you will need to examine every
aspect of your present reality to discover emotional triggers.

If you keep unraveling the strings binding you to turbulent emotions,
you will find these emotions are, at the source, wounded and suffering
younger aspects of yourself. In other words, the emotional "wounding"
happened at a point before you understood how the universe works – at
a point when you did not understood how everything that happens to you
is helping you grow and learn. Many of your emotional triggers date
back to childhood years when you felt the actions of others a
'judgment' against you or an indication of your self-worth. Once you
see these situations for the self-affirming opportunities that they
are, you are far less likely to feel injured or wounded by the people,
events and circumstances in your life. By embracing the lesson of a
situation, you transform it into a spiritual understanding rather than
a festering wound in your psyche.

You can heal childhood wounds by working with emotional triggers that
exist in your present moment. Because you are likely to have created
situations similar to your original wounding throughout your life, you
are able to work with your wound within the present timeframe without
excavating the past to find the point of original wounding. You can
find access points through events unfolding here and now.

To gain awareness of emotional wounds operating in your present
moment, pay close attention to circumstances that trigger dense
emotions. If it helps, carry a small notebook and note emotional
triggers you observe. The nature of the circumstances that trigger
dense emotions carry an "energetic signature" that re-creates itself
throughout the life much like a computer virus. This "looping" of
emotional events serves as an energetic bookmark that allows you to
complete unfinished understandings at a later time. As you bring
awareness to emotional triggers, you lessen their power over you.

Discovering Your 'Sacred' Wound

You may at some point choose to undertake an examination of the past
as part of your healing process. One way you can gain awareness of
your original or "sacred" wound is to write a simple autobiography of
your life, touching on emotional highs and lows. Pay close attention
to events that still hold an emotional charge. These events reveal to
you wounded aspects of yourself still emotionally trapped in time. You
can heal and release these aspects by shining the light of your
present-moment awareness on them.

You will probably find that many of your emotional triggers trace back
to emotional wounds you experienced early in your life, usually by age
7 or 8, though not always. There are many different forms this
wounding can take, including the death of a parent, a severe illness
or accident, a seeming abandonment or other loss. All sacred wounds
have in common an emotional trauma that went into "cellular memory."
Over the years, the essence of this sacred wound is re-energized by
various situations in an unconscious attempt to gain understanding of
the wound so it can be healed and released. Sometimes, a sacred wound
isn't healed in a single lifetime. In this case, the essence of the
wound is carried forward into the next incarnation where the wound is
recreated. It may well be that the emotional wound of this lifetime
was energetically carried over from one or more previous lifetimes.
Even if this is the case, you will be able to trace back to the point
in this lifetime when the emotional wound was reactivated by events in
your life so you could begin to work with it once more..

The Nature of the Wounded Self

As we have said, inside every person there exists wounded aspects that
are most often "wounded child" aspects. These aspects of your self
tend to "take on" unresolved emotions throughout your life. Whenever
something in your present moment triggers this wounded self into
awakening, you experience not only the emotion of what is happening
now, but your entire wounded emotional body that contains the
accumulated wounds of a lifetime. It may seem at times that you're
reliving every troubled emotion you have ever experienced.

Accepting the Gifts of Your Wounded Self

Those times when your wounded self calls forth the full menu of your
troubled emotions are valuable times when you can access emotions and
work with them to bring about healing. You can do this by sitting
with your wounded self and undertaking a review of circumstances tied
to the emotions. When you allow yourself to "re-see" the situations
that created troubled emotions from the light of a higher
consciousness, you bring about healing to wounded aspects of yourself
and release energy being held around situations from your past.

By seeing troubled emotions from a detached and elevated perspective,
you are able to understand the higher purpose for creating a
situation. Once you see the higher purpose of your creations, you
have effectively transformed them into an allies rather than "problems."

Radical Self-Responsibility

It's important to understand you won't achieve emotional freedom until
you take 100% responsibility for everything in your reality. If you
buy into the illusion that others have created your reality in any
way, you will see yourself as a hapless slave of the whims of others.
A person enslaved by the actions of others is not empowered to take
charge of their emotional life and heal old, troubled emotions.

Taking responsibility applies to all life circumstances, even
situations involving violent acts by others or events in childhood
when others around you acted irresponsibly. When you understand the
nature of soul contracts you hold with others, you will come to see
how everyone in your life, even those who assist you in creating
painful circumstances, is helping you grow and learn. When you look
closely at every situation in your life, you will see the Law of
Attraction in action. At the energy level, you draw every experience
to you. This is the nature of radical self-responsibility. It is only
through this portal that you are able to access the inner peace,
acceptance, understanding, forgiveness, and gratitude that allow you
to expand your awareness.

Transforming Problems: the Doorway of the Subconscious

When you exist in a peaceful place within yourself, you are able to
travel at will between your conscious and subconscious minds. In order
to come into a place of peace, you will need to heal, transform and
release troubled emotions and clear up any "static" making access to
your subconscious difficult. When you have a clear access from
conscious to subconscious, you're able to access your higher self at
will. Your subconscious is the doorway through which you access
fifth-dimensional consciousness and the vast wealth of resources the
universe has to offer.

Messages of the Ice, Part 1 By Deborah

Posted on Feb 16th, 2009 by DL Zeta : Portals of Consciousness DL Zeta
Timeline Bleedthroughs and Guide Changes

From the Journals of DL Zeta

On Sunday, January 26, we had a solar eclipse in Aquarius. In the
weeks prior to the eclipse, the event kept filtering into my
consciousness. I knew my intuition was trying to flag my attention,
but I couldn't devote much mind space to it due to the increasing buzz
about an impending ice storm. My time was consumed with buying
supplies, doing laundry and preparing for a possible power outage. In
the chaos of preparing for the impending storm, I overlooked the fact
that we'd had an eclipse in Aquarius just before Hurricane Ike swept
through here in September.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. First I want to talk about the ice storm.

The Ghost of Ice Storms Past

The night before the ice storm began, I revisited my memories of the
last major ice storm we had here on December 25, 2000. That storm
began early Christmas morning. Iced in alone and without electricity
throughout the holiday and for the next few days, I began to
experience a "timeline bleedthrough" in which I received the vision
for a new way of being that included possibilities beyond anything I
had imagined. To make this shift, I needed to clear out emotional
"static" -- old fears and programming from the past.
Synchronistically, that ice storm provided me with the opportunity to
confront emotional trepidation around holidays and severe weather -
particularly icy weather. It allowed me to face fears of isolation,
particularly in a desolate environment, and ultimately, physical
death. These were all deep, primal fears dredged up from the
suffering well of collective consciousness.

What happened that icy December in 2000 amounted to a dark night of
the soul that allowed me to "rebirth" my consciousness and awaken to
the wealth of assistance available in the realm of the "unseen" -- the
realm of spirit.

Nine years later, my memories of that time are cast in a glow of
appreciation and gratitude for the life-changing rite of passage the
storm afforded me. I'm grateful and blessed each day by the emotional
freedom, inner strength and spiritual connection I've begun allowing
into my life in the years since that time of ice.

As the ice storm of January 2009 bore down, I doubted it would have
anything approaching the impact of that storm in 2000. I was pretty
certain the same circumstance wouldn't wield the same power.

One thing I haven't mentioned is that there was an eclipse the day of
the December 2000 ice storm. I didn't know it in 2000. In fact, it's
something I found out nine years after the fact. We'll come back to
that in Part 3.

The Ice Storm of 2009

The morning of January 28, I woke to the sound of ice on the roof. A
light rain the night before had turned to sleet and freezing rain. I
woke the moment the electric grid went down. At first, I experienced
an inevitable resistance, impatience and bristling against the
inconvenience. But this all quickly turned to awe and dread of the
powerful forces of nature. For the second time in just over four
months, I felt myself in the sharp teeth of clashing energies.

In the Wake of Hurricane Ike

It in the four months since Hurricane Ike swept through on September
13, leaving a trail devastation in its path, I have found blessings
and healing.

I know everything that's happened has been in accordance with divine
perfection. In the months before the storm, I began receiving visions
of a new living space that would allow us to grow and expand in ways
that are aligned with our spiritual purpose. Inside the space there
would be a greenhouse where Peter could grow vegetables and herbs year
round. There would be a sound-proof audiovisual room where we could
create CDs and DVDs for the ever-growing number of people we work
with. There would be an exercise room where we could focus on
fitness, even in the coldest part of winter. There would be an area
for a hot tub and massage table for relaxation and renewal, a garage
to house our cars, and a writer's loft, a space for inner listening
and writing. By July of last year, I was making drawings and mapping
out the design of the building, not knowing how and when this building
would come to be.

The morning after Hurricane Ike brought the two largest trees on our
property down onto our carport and shed, I stood in the carnage
feeling the weight of the loss. Amid it all, a strong, clear voice
said "Now we build." Three days after the hurricane, we bought a
steel building online and began the cleanup and foundation work to
bring the vision of our building into being. Every step we took -
from dirt work to foundation to erecting the building and putting up
interior walls - brought a healing and renewal. As the New Year
began, I found myself in a place of peace and gratitude.

Even as the dust settled in the wake of Hurricane Ike, a new event was
brewing on the horizon. There is no doubt we are entering new and more
intense weather patterns. Some attribute it to shifting energies
preparing the way for 2012. Some say it is global warming. One thing
I'm certain of. Each experience we undergo contains a message. To
receive the message, we must embrace the experience, open to its
message and receive it with an open heart and mind. I call this
process "surrendering to the storm."

Messages of the Ice, Part 2

Posted on Feb 17th, 2009 by DL Zeta : Portals of Consciousness DL Zeta
From the Journals of DL Zeta

Surrendering to the Storm

The January 2009 ice storm lasted over 36 hours. By the end of the
first day, I found myself in a familiar yet uncomfortable emotional
space. As I stood under the eve of my house listening to trees
snapping under the weight of heavy ice, I realized I was still holding
emotional energy around the devastation of Hurricane Ike. It wasn't
the carnage that still held me. It was the brute force of the weather
system, the power of it. The deadly potential of it. The knowing
that once it landed at my door, there was no going back, no escape. I
could take steps to protect myself. I could get to the safest place I
could reach, but beyond that, I was a passenger on the speeding train
of the storm's fury. That is the point when you recognize the only
course is to surrender to the storm.

It was this kernel of surrender to the forces of nature with both the
hurricane and the ice storm that brought me face-to-face with the
specter of death. Both events were deadly. Large numbers of people
passed over. Animals died. Trees collapsed. The entire natural world
fractured. As the ice storm bore down, there was little time to
contemplate the bigger questions. This took back seat to immediate
survival issues.

The Challenges of Ice

If Hurricane Ike opened a wound, the ice storm was salt poured into
the wound. In the first days of the ice storm, hundreds of trees and
limbs tumbled onto the ground from the weight of the ice. Our
mile-long dirt road became impassable - in some places, stacked 4 ft.
high with fallen timbers. Peter joined with several men from our
neighborhood who risked life and limb to clear a path through the
debris-strewn road. They sawed and lifted and tussled with broken
trees even as other trees and ice-encrusted limbs toppled around them.
This was just to create emergency access to the outside world. Driving
the ice-covered road was still treacherous. Trees were falling. Large
branches dangled precariously by thin strands. Tangled conglomerations
of broken trees leaned overhead.

I joined a group of women who took food and water to a near-frozen dog
an absentee neighbor had left in a pen. As we dodged falling branches
and missile-like shards of ice, we watched a tree come down on a row
of mailboxes. That night as I wrote in my journal by candlelight, I
contemplated how easy it is to depart this life under such
circumstances. Any injury in combination with an impassable road is a
recipe for life's final flicker. Certainly our battery-powered radio
was bringing news each day of those who had skidded on icy roads, been
hit on the head by fallen limbs or frozen inside unheated houses.

Physical Death is a Subconscious Decision

My inner questioning as always brought answers. Physical death, I was
shown, is not a matter of weather events. It's not a matter of an
opportunistic disease or a life-consuming systemic infection.
Physical death is not a car accident, a crashed plane or any other
disaster. Physical death is a decision made at a very deep level of
our being. The events that swirl around us each moment are doorways
and opportunities for one to execute the decision to pass over from
the realm of the physical to the realm of spirit, but they aren't the
determining factor. This explains why people survive circumstances
that seem insurmountable.

I could see how at the root my discomfort with Hurricane Ike and the
ice storms of 2000 and 2009 was this question: will I leave or will I
stay? Each time I've asked this question I've chosen to renew my
contract here. Underneath it all -- regardless of what life has
delivered to my door -- each time I have held fast to my sense of
purpose and my mission for being here. Each decision to stay in the
game of Earth school has brought me into deeper affirmation of my
purpose to become a vehicle for spirit on Earth. Each decision has
helped me come to a deeper love and nurturing of my human self and all
its frailties and foibles. Each decision has helped me see through
the illusory surface of reality to the deeper meanings beneath. In
this deeper reality, we are all one and the same: spirit in search of
experience.

The Passing of a Poet

One evening as I was writing by candlelight, an image of a poet friend
came into my mind. She is a strong woman of courage who taught me
years ago that the most powerful images in poetry and in life are
found on the jagged edge of the precipice between worlds. It wasn't
until the roads cleared and I was able to travel into town that I
learned she had passed during the ice storm. She had battled lung
cancer for over a year. Based on what had been coming to me during
the storm, I knew she had chosen her time to depart this plane, flying
into the further realms on the strong wings of the storm.

Like many poets, Brenda danced with otherworldly visions:

"We should all be naked for this.
Gates of the prisons opened.
A flood of spirit pulsing
through the streets – like blood loosed
from the heart.
We should all be naked unbound angels,
no robes to tangle in rapid feet, in
criss-crossed legs."

("Naked," Brenda Moossy)

The Ice Storm's Message

After renewing my contract here, I began asking about the deeper
purpose of the ice storm and grid outage. I was reminded of how we
are better able to undergo guide changes during times when the
electrical grid is down. This happened during the ice storm and
accompanying electrical outage of December 2000, and I sensed it was
happening again during this latest outage. I could also see how this
outage was a time of rest, reflection, redirection and coming into the
new level of consciousness that our new building symbolized. (In
dream symbols, new construction is symbolic of a new level of
consciousness we're "building toward.")

As soon as I came into the true message and meaning of the storm, the
heavy mood of resistance lifted. Synchronistically, temperatures
warmed. The road melted. Trees dropped the last of their ice. We
drove into town for supplies.

That weekend, Peter and I got out the lawn chairs and enjoyed some
60-degree sunshine out on our front deck while the last of the icicles
melted off the shady side of our new building. We joked we were
"camping at home" using the house in lieu of a tent. Everything else
was the same -- ice chests for refrigeration, candles, flashlights,
battery-powered everything. Some neighbors with electric cook stoves
were even cooking outside on barbecue grills. The sound of neighbors'
gas-powered generators provided the background for the surreal scene.
