Widening Our Field of Perception
From the Journal of DL Zeta
In 1999 I underwent a series of shifts. I began to see more of what was there. My theory is that "it" is always all there all around us all the time. Our field of perception can be narrow or wide. This is what determines what we see. Our field of perception is determined by our beliefs and attitudes -- and influenced more or less by collective consciousness.
It is possible to walk through life seeing very little of what is there all around us - visible and invisible. It is also possible to awaken and begin to see more of what is around us physically, and to see with our inner eyes that which is invisible to the physical senses. That's what happened to me in 1999 around the time of the winter solstice. I was suddenly able to see and sense realms of such joy and peace that I was thrown into a tailspin. It was like shining a flashlight into a dark room and seeing all the cobwebs and junk previously obscured by darkness. Now that the cobwebs had been brought to awareness, they could be cleared and released.
This was only the beginning. I began to see all my experiences in a different light. Sometimes I would go into overwhelm, sometimes I felt ecstatic. At other times, I was depressed at all the weeks and months and years I had seemingly "wasted" slogging through illness, negative emotions and scarcity consciousness. In time, I was able to release my feelings of depression and come into place of gratitude and acceptance for all my experiences. Only then I was able to receive the gifts they offered.
Allowing a True Renaissance of Spirit
I found that even the darkest seed of suffering has the ability to unfold the flowers of a joyful spring; that a true renaissance of the spirit is possible when we come into mastery by allowing ourselves to experience all octaves along the spectrum of life experience.
As I moved further into this renaissance of spirit, I was able to raise my vibration to align more with my higher self. This brought me into closer contact and awareness with aspects of my self I had never known. This is possible because our higher self is always in communion with our oversoul, the organizing entity for our orchestra of "selves." These selves incarnated in various timeframe dimensions cumulatively comprise the gifts and knowledge of our soul throughout time. As I began tapping into this rich treasure trove of knowledge and understanding, I received tremendous downloads that I have, in the last couple of years, begun to organize into channeled messages.
There's much more to come. New downloads keep arriving. Some nights I receive entire chapters and outlines in my dreams. I continue to translate and share the messages I receive and look forward to sharing them here in time. It is a joy and a pleasure!
Blessings,
Deborah (DL) Zeta

The Lightworker's Manifesto: A Primer for Coming Times, Part 7 By DL Zeta
The Lightworker's Manifesto: A Primer for Coming Times, Part 7
We have given you 12 points of light for lightworkers, which you will find listed once again at the end of this discussion. The sixth point of light we describe today calls for you to undertake a journey of self-awareness that will help you cleanse your lens of perception and become a stronger light in the universe. It asks that you practice honesty, clear seeing and discernment in all things.
Practice Honesty, Clear Seeing, and Discernment
It is important as you step into this path of helping others, that you examine anything that stands in the way of your highest efforts. If there are areas of unresolved energies in your life, it will get in the way of your ability to assist others. All that you "see" through the windows of your perception is filtered through your connection with spirit. Unhealed emotional wounds, negative thoughts, lingering resentments, areas of denial - all of these are like fly specks on your windows of perception. You are asked at this point of light to examine your windows and clear away the fly specks of old misunderstandings and unresolved energies. Polish your perceiving lens until it is shiny and clear. This will bring you to a place of clarity and clear-seeing that helps you see your self and everything around you with complete honesty and the higher discernment of spirit.
The Journey of Self-awareness
Coming into a place of clear-seeing requires you to undertake a journey of self-examination and awareness. There are many paths you can follow on this journey. We will offer some possibilities here to help you move along the path of self-discovery. Whichever course you follow, understand one way is no better than the other. If you set the intention to clear away whatever stands in the way of your becoming the clearest, brightest light possible, then any, all or a combination of the doorways listed here will help you on this journey. As you see your self clearer, you are able to see others more clearly without the overlays of projections or the shading of unresolved emotions. Beyond this, you will begin to "see through" everything that is not aligned with spirit. You will see through anything you say or do that is derived from illusion. You will see through what others say and do that is vested in illusion. This is not a place of judgment, but a place of discernment.
You are always free within the moment to "see through" or "look past" the illusion and address your thoughts, words and actions to the clear light of spirit. As you do so, that which is part of the illusion will become less and less visible to you. In time, it will disappear from your vision. By keeping your focus on what is real, you open a space for others to also see through the illusory world. As long as you continue to act "as if" illusion is more real than your spiritual knowing, you will continue to be tethered to the illusion and enslaved by the material world. By coming into a place of clarity, you will be able to easily discern the difference between the two in the moment, and keep your focus on the reality you choose.
Some Doorways for Self-Discovery
Journaling is a technique that helps bring awareness to the texture and patterning of your mind. If you write freely and honestly, over time you will come to see your self clearly. You will become aware of the tools you use to create your reality. Journaling can also become a way of communing with spiritual guidance. By coming into a place of trust and receptivity, you can receive answers to every question you ask. This is also an excellent place to open to your deepest dreams. By writing them down and describing them in detail, you allow them to slowly unfold in the pages of your journal. Perceiving and energizing the realities you choose are important steps toward becoming a conscious creator of your world.
To begin journaling, write each day, allowing your thoughts and feelings to flow onto the page. Write down whatever comes to you. Don't censor or edit. This may take some practice, especially if you are in the habit of censoring your expression. As you allow your self to express freely onto the page, over time you will gain understanding of the diverse texture of your own consciousness. Note any areas that hold an emotional charge for you and objectively examine these areas in a place of non-judgment.
Channeling is a technique that sometimes springboards from numerous sessions of journaling, free writing, or automatic writing. During these sessions, you may begin to feel strongly connected to your spirit guides. You can begin question and answer sessions in your journal, fast writing the answers that come to you. Once you feel comfortable with automatic writing, you may want to begin verbally channeling the spiritual guidance you receive. One method is to set up a tape recorder, set your intention to "open channel" the messages, then enter into a light, meditative trance. From this space, you can allow the messages to download into your consciousness as you begin to translate them verbally.
Writing your autobiography is another tool that is similar to journaling, though somewhat more intensive. This is an exceptional tool for freeing your self from places where your emotions and consciousness are deeply embedded in past trauma. You can begin with a sketch listing the main events of various timeframes, then fill in more detail over time. As you write down what comes to you, you may notice areas of unresolved emotion. These areas most often reside in past times where events occurred and your awareness and intuition were not as fully engaged as they are today. Often you will find as you bring the light of a clearer, wiser perception to an old event, you are suddenly able to see the higher purpose of that event and how it was helping you to progress on your path. This releases any energy that is still being held around the event and allows you to retrieve that part of your soul being held there as an "energetic bookmark." These bookmarks serve the purpose of signaling you back to a location on the map of your consciousness that needs healing and release.
Dreamwork is another method for learning about aspects of your self you do not yet consciously know. A dream is in some respects like a letter from your subconscious mind relaying details of your existence that your conscious mind or "focus self" may not be aware of. Dreams are also a vehicle for interdimensional travels in consciousness, lucid dreams and many other explorations capable of transforming your awareness.
To work with your dreams, write down every day what you remember when you awaken. Interpreting the symbols from your dreams can offer important insights into the state of your consciousness. Old, unresolved energies and issues will cycle through your dreams just as they cycle through your waking consciousness. As you bring the light of awareness to these old energies, you are able to heal and release them.
Observe and interpret your waking reality "as if" it were a dream. At the end of the day, recall the main events of your experiences. Interpret these symbols from your "waking dream" using your understanding of dream symbols and their meaning. This is another way you can gain awareness of old patterns and energies that are seeking release.
Observe your self as a detached observer. It is good to stand back and observe your self on a regular basis. To get into the habit of doing this and to gain insights into the habits, patterns and beliefs that may operate under the surface of your conscious existence, observe your self more intensively for a period of time. Pay close attention to what you say and what you do. Your observations can bring awareness to any areas where you need to bring healing and clarity.
Seek the perspectives of those who are closest to you. Approach trusted friends or family members and ask for their insights on any areas around which you may have "blind spots." Receive their insights, keeping in mind that everyone filters through their own beliefs -- fly specks and all. Accept their observations with gratitude for whatever insights they may offer and discard what is of no use.
If you have difficulty finding someone who can offer trusted insights, you may choose to find an intuitive who can assist you in connecting to your higher self. It is especially helpful if you find someone capable of offering their consciousness as a bridge to your higher self and your counsel of spiritual advisors. The best intuitives teach you how to make this connection your self rather than keeping you dependent on them.
Next week we will discuss the seventh point of light, releasing resistance and coming into a place of surrender.

The Holographic World, Part 3 By DL Zeta
Creating Inner Peace and Unity
As we have said in our two previous discussions, it is the fragmenting within individuals that creates a fragmented world. A fragmented world, like a fragmented individual, is divided against itself, each part separate from the whole.
Fragmenting results in a great loss at all levels. In the world, it results in wars, violence, separation, hatred and cruelty. In the individual, it results in troubled or “toxic” emotions, inability to learn life’s lessons and grow, inability to create and maintain healthy relationships, and ultimately, disease and death.
We have outlined the root causes of fragmenting -- the "sacred" wound each individual suffers at some point in their life, usually early in childhood. This childhood wound is "implanted" in consciousness in much the same way grains of sand are placed inside oysters: it is the grain of sand that in time yields the pearl. This is why the pearl is so highly valued in your world. It represents the journey of transformation each being comes here to undertake: the unification of Heaven and Earth.
As each individual attempts to heal the wound within themselves, they experiment with different approaches. The true healing they are seeking is to unite with their spirit. The wound from this perspective is created to set a person on a journey to seek answers. It may seem the answers they are seeking are entirely related to the life issues they face, but these are only the "window dressing" so to speak. If, for example, a person suffers from serious illness early in life and must find healing for this illness, this is the shape their journey will take. They may try many healing modalities, and each may help to some degree. However, if the person persists, continuing to ask questions and turning corners, sooner or later they will stand face-to-face with themselves looking into the loving eyes of their higher self. It is within this moment that Heaven and Earth join hands and are united. This is the moment when the person seeking healing for their illness finds the healing they have been seeking.
Regardless of the nature of your sacred wound, regardless of the journey you have traveled to find healing for this wound, if you persist in your quest, it will bring into the place where your spirit resides. In this place, answers to all questions are found.
Seeing the World through the Eyes of Spirit
Once you arrive at this meeting place with your self, you will join forces and begin working hand-in-hand to heal your life. In every moment of every day, your higher self will bring your attention to circumstances in your life. As you turn your attention to these circumstances, you will see them through the eyes of your higher self. Even though you have viewed the same circumstances many, many times, you will see them differently through the eyes of spirit. This is what has been referred to as "removing veils." When you unite with your spirit, you walk through each step of your life hand-in-hand with your higher self. Every moment takes on a brighter glow as you "see through" old veneers. The things that once troubled you fall away. You become freer, more loving.
This is also what is meant by "expanding awareness." Awareness is not only seeing but knowing what you see at all levels. When you join with your higher self in the journey of life, you are able to look at a person in your life and see this person standing before you as you have never seen them before. You will "see through" personality layerings to the soul’s desires that lie beneath them. Beyond this, you will bring your spiritual awareness to your connection with this person and you will know the path you have walked together through time. You will know what lessons you are learning together now and the shape of your future sharing.
It is easy to see how joining with your spirit and seeing your world through the eyes of spirit releases any lingering illusions of separation you may hold. When you see each person’s soul, when you see your connection with each person in terms of life's lessons you are sharing, it is impossible to hold this person in a place of anger and resentment.
When you see through the illusion, you see only love. Love is all that exists outside the illusion.
To assist you in gaining mastery in seeing through the illusion, spirit will continue to walk you through many situations. In this way, you are able to come quickly to a place of loving each part of your self and each person you meet, You will always be subject to the illusion, but each time you see through some aspect of it, you become less susceptible. As you become more adept at seeing the world through the eyes of spirit, you will find "shorthand" methods of moving from illusion to clarity. You may ask why it is that you do not remain in a place of clarity. Once you learn to consciously step past illusion, you will find yourself in a place of clarity much of the time. However, there are spiritual reasons why you may exist within the illusion for periods of time. It is enough to know for now that you can consciously choose to step free of the illusion at any moment. We will describe for you a simple method.
Energizing Timeline Realities
It is important to understand and embrace that each possibility you perceive in your life is a reality that already exists within your field of potentialities. Once you have already experienced realities of great clarity that exist beyond illusion, you know the feeling state and perspective of this reality. Any time you find yourself operating within the illusion, you can choose to align with the feeling state of clarity that exists beyond illusion and set your intention to shift within the moment to the timeline where you are free of illusion.
Even if you feel you have not entirely experienced total clarity in the past, you can align your feeling state with the highest level of clarity you have accessed to energize the timeline where you are free of illusion. It is this process of uniting with your higher self, continuing to ask questions and persisting in moving toward wholeness that brings you to a place of inner peace and unity. Once you have created unity within your self, healing the chasm of your sacred wound, you are ready to radiate this wholeness out to the world. We will explain in our next discussion how it is that the whole person is able to help create wholeness and oneness in the world.

The Lightworker's Manifesto: A Primer for Coming Times, Part 6 By DL Zeta
Trusting in Your Highest Vision
There are many times in your life when pictures come into your mind of steps you can take that would bring you to a place of greater joy and fulfillment. When such visions appear, your heart beats quicker. You experience a great desire to follow this vision.
You may follow this new picture for a time, until you feel a tug as if you have come to the end of an invisible leash. Beyond this point, you can move no further. The leash that keeps you from following your highest vision is your perceived limitations. In other words, your beliefs about what is possible for you and what is not. Beliefs about your possibilities can cause you to doubt your highest visions. Since you do not believe you can scale the heights of these visions, you think they must be "wrong," "just fantasies," or "pipe dreams."
In fact, the opposite is true. Your highest visions are designed to lead you toward your deepest desires. These are the desires of your soul that help you fulfill your purpose for this lifetime.
In order to truly progress past perceived limitations, you must address the beliefs that operate behind them.
Discovering Your Core Beliefs
To discover your core beliefs, look at what is manifesting in your life. If you see similar threads occurring in your career, your health, and your relationships, you can begin to question what beliefs you hold that are creating these circumstances.
If, for example, you find your self stuck year after year in a job you no longer enjoy, if you find you remain in relationships that do not honor you, if you find your health declining, if you have a way of neglecting your physical well-being, you likely hold core beliefs that you do not deserve better - that you do not deserve to have what you want or to move toward your highest vision. In short, you don't believe you are worthy.
These types of beliefs are usually created early in life when stressful or traumatic events occur and are misinterpreted by your younger self that doesn't yet have the ability to understand what is happening. It may be that adults in your life were caught up in their own abstractions and unable to be present with your child self. As a child, you may have interpreted this to mean you were not worthy of your parents' attention. This is just one of many common scenarios that can create the core belief, "I am not worthy." Another scenario involves instances where a child suffers a traumatic accident or illness, then begins to feel the accident/illness is a judgment against them, that God is punishing them for being "bad." In cases of divorce, the child may believe that they have somehow caused their parents to break apart. Since they are the cause of so much suffering and upset, they develop a belief that they are bad and therefore unworthy of love. We can tell you that your world is filled with adult "children" struggling with core beliefs that invalidate their basic worth. In order to end this struggle and move toward one's highest vision, it is necessary to gain awareness of such core beliefs and transform them.
Transforming Core Beliefs
Once you recognize a core belief that is undermining your efforts to progress on your path, you can begin to gain awareness around this belief. Ask your self what realities you would choose for your future and what beliefs you would need to hold to align with those realities. Open to receive visions of this future from your higher self. Accept that these visions are real and true for you, even if you don't know within the moment how they will become your reality. As you trust in the visions you receive, the universe will bring you the information, guidance and resources you need to bring them into your reality.
Once you have the vision for your future, hold it side-by-side with the belief you wish to transform. If the old belief is "I am not worthy," you might wish to replace it with a new belief that goes something like this: "I am an infinite being worthy of all the universe has to offer." As you begin to act, think and feel from the perspective of this new belief, you will receive information and guidance that will make this belief more and more real in your physical world.
Inner Vision vs. the Material World
Your highest visions will always come from within. You will never find them in the material world. What you see around you are the creations of the past. Your spirit is always moving toward new experiences and understandings. It never seeks stagnancy or remaining trapped in the past. Sometimes it happens in your world that a person looks at their surroundings -- basically, the creations of the past -- and adopts this as a vision for their future. It is a misunderstanding to believe that what you are experiencing now (creations of the past) are the blueprint for your future.
This misunderstanding is a common one that occurs when a person mistakenly believes that what they see in their surroundings is more real than their inner vision. This cuts a person off from new and exciting possibilities. It effectively enslaves them because they have only what they see in their physical world from which to draw in creating their future realities.
Your highest vision comes from your soul and your spiritual guidance. When you energize the realities your spirit brings you, you create your future from within, rather than the stagnant energy of what has been. By trusting in your highest vision, you are always energizing what is new and fresh and aligned with your spiritual purpose. This is in stark contrast to what happens when you limit your self by looking to physical reality to see what is possible in your future.
A Note about Quantum Change
One reason many people resist moving toward their highest vision is that on some level they know this will bring about great change in their life.
When you change a core belief of "I am not worthy" to "I am worthy," this has the effect of changing many secondary beliefs, thoughts, emotions, attitudes and ultimately, one's actions. In effect, this creates quantum change that results in an overall identity change.
When you change your identity, you change your vibration. This de-magnetizes many situations and people in your life. You may not be drawn to the same places, people, and circumstances you once were.
New people and circumstances will turn up in your life based on your new vibration. Your life will rearrange itself to reflect the changes that have taken place. This prospect of quantum change may seem scary - like stepping off into the unknown - but this is what you are here for -- to experiment and learn. The greatest joy you can experience on Earth is the joy of taking the steps of trusting in your self and your highest vision.
Next week we will discuss the sixth point of light, practicing honesty, clear-seeing and discernment.

The Holographic World, Part 2
As we have said in our previous discussion, the separation and fragmenting of groups that exists within your world is a reflection of the separation and fragmenting that exists within the vast majority of those presently incarnated on earth. Individuals who are fragmented and at war within themselves will not be able to join together with others in a common dream for Earth's future until they have healed the fragmenting and dissension within themselves.
The future changes many of you have glimpsed, spoken of and longed for will manifest in collective reality when the majority of those on earth heal the rifts within themselves and become "whole." Only a whole being is able to create, share and participate in energizing a new "mass" reality on the Earth plane.
We offer here some insights into the root causes of this fragmenting and how it is at a subtle level assisting humanity in its quest to unite Heaven and Earth.
The Childhood Dilemma of the Sacred Wound
Inner divisiveness first comes into play when a child arrives in the world fresh from sessions with their guides and angels, remembering their purpose here. You will notice this in very young children filled with the joy and love of their stay in high-vibrational realms. This joy and sense of purpose is quickly overtaken by the demands of the material world. It is around this time that the "sacred wound" is created that they will spend the rest of their lives healing.
The demands of the material world come into play when children are handed packets of preprogrammed beliefs and are instructed in how they are to be and exist in the world. This is well-intentioned but oftentimes based in ignorance. We will emphasize there are no "victims," and life circumstances are chosen by a soul before birth. So why does a child choose to be born into limiting circumstances? The answer is twofold. First, souls seek circumstances where the potential exists for needed experiences. Secondly, souls return time after time to help bring about needed healing and growth for all of humanity. It' is only by immersing oneself in the misconceptions of the previous generation that a child is able to grow and evolve past them, opening energetic pathways for the mass of humanity to also move forward in their understandings.
So it is that a child becomes divided within themselves, torn between the joyful and expanded realms from which they have just arrived and the constricted world of limitations in which they now find themselves. They are early on presented with the inner dilemma that is the purpose for all beings on earth -- uniting Heaven and Earth. This inner division represents the energetic chasm that exists between the higher vibrational realms and the lower vibration of the Earth plane. As a child grows and moves through her life, she is constantly working at various levels to narrow the scope of this inner chasm and ultimately create unity and harmony between the two, thereby uniting Heaven and Earth. When an individual reaches a place of inner wholeness, their sacred wound is healed and their purpose realized.
Unfortunately some individuals focus on the chasm rather than its healing. Consequently, they remain stuck year after year. Because the true meaning and purpose of human nature is not widely taught nor understood, many individuals go through life divided within themselves, two halves of a divided whole working against itself. The divisiveness they observe in the world around them only compounds this vision of a fractured reality.
Awareness is the Key to Healing Humanity
Awareness is the key to healing the fractured hearts of humanity. We will offer in our next discussion some steps individuals can take to heal the chasm within themselves to create inner peace and unity they can project outward to the world.

The Lightworker's Manifesto: A Primer for Coming Times, Part 5 By DL Zeta
We have given you 12 points of light for lightworkers, which you will find listed once again at the end of this discussion. The fourth point of light we describe today will help you arrive in a place of clarity around assisting others: practicing kindness and compassion.
Practicing Kindness and Compassion
On any given day, you can look around you and observe situations that are devoid of kindness and passion. There are many in your world who have had little experience in the realm of kindness and compassion, and they are unable to give what they don't believe they have.
It is important to keep in mind that this "lack" of kindness and compassion exists at the conscious, personality level as a learned belief and does not exist at the soul level. Understanding that a person’s soul contains the wealth and abundance of the universe is the key to your own practice of kindness and compassion on the Earth plane.
As a lightworker, you share your existence with others who understand kindness and compassion. This is according to the Law of Attraction; you draw to you others who share your energetic vibration. There may be others who "show up" in your life who don't share these understandings. In some cases, these individuals have little experience with kindness and compassion.
A person who is a stranger to kindness and compassion may exist in a state of negativity and resentment. They may feel the universe is "against them," or believe that there is something "wrong" with them that they should exist in such adverse circumstances. Others may simply be angry, resentful and distrustful because they have never experienced the gentle light of kindness.
You may find yourself asking why you would attract such negative energies into your life. Sometimes it will happen that the Law of Attraction brings to you someone who is able to access a needed vibration by coming into contact with you.
In this case, you have walked a path across your arc of lifetimes where you have also experienced a lack of kindness and compassion. In the course of your journey, you learned that kindness begins within - in the way you treat your self - and is then extended outward to all living things. Others who are seeking to gain this understanding will be drawn to you because you have walked a similar path and have come into the understanding they need to move forward on their path.
The True Nature of Kindness and Compassion
As you assist others, it becomes important to know what is appropriate and what is not by way of assistance. You may at times find yourself wondering about the true nature of kindness and compassion. One of the underpinnings of true kindness is respect. When you see a person who has created circumstances for their higher learning, respect their creation. Too often there is a misunderstanding that one must always "alleviate" the suffering of another. You may temporarily alleviate another’s situation, but you cannot give them the understanding they are seeking by creating the situation in the first place. They will simply have to create another situation of similar essence to try and gain the understanding they are seeking.
All scenarios created in a person’s life are attempts to gain needed understandings. You might ask why a person would choose to create a serious illness or a circumstance of poverty. Understand this is not the person's conscious mind saying, "I think today I will create a devastating accident." It is all prearranged at the soul level to bring about understandings needed at the time. When the next step on the spiritual path, for example, is to understand every facet of poverty so one can learn to master abundance, a soul might create and develop a plan to experience poverty. In this way, when the understanding is gained and true abundance is experienced, the person on some level understands every facet of the journey of abundance, including poverty. A person who has completed the understanding of abundance does not judge those who are experiencing poverty. They recognize that these individuals are following a path set forth by their soul to gain needed understandings. It is from this higher perspective that a person sees what is appropriate in the way of assistance and what is not.
For instance, assistance might be offered by establishing opportunities in the way of scholarships whereby a person living in poverty has the opportunity to believe in themselves and take the next step on their spiritual path. Simply giving a person money may do more to hinder their spiritual progress than help because it reinforces the illusory perspective that the person is unable to transform their reality. So you see, the first type of assistance says, "I believe in your ability to transform yourself" while the second says, "I do not believe you can transform yourself."
True kindness is based in respect of a person’s spiritual path and clear-seeing in terms of what they are attempting to create. It is always important to examine your own motives and to act from the perspective of assisting a person’s higher good.
‘Rescuing’ is Based in Guilt-Based Motives
Too often, lightworkers equate kindness with "saving" or "rescuing" another. This comes from unresolved emotional energy based in guilt and misunderstanding. We refer you to the first point of light: self responsibility. There have been times in your life when others have asked you to "save" them from themselves. You may have tried very hard to fulfill this request without creating the "rescue" that was requested. It is never possible to save another from themselves, but you did not understand this at the time, so you experienced "guilt" that you let the other person down.
Now, when someone asks to be "rescued," the guilt of all past "failed rescues" is triggered and you once again set out to "save" another. When you feel your self about to set out on a rescue mission, examine your feelings to see if you are operating from a place of guilt within your self. When you operate from a place of guilt, your efforts are always about you rather than the person you are attempting to “rescue.”
When you have resolved your own feelings about assisting others, you are able to clearly see the person standing before you, the understandings they are trying to create, and what, if anything, you can say or do that will assist them in gaining the understanding their soul is seeking.
Connecting with a Soul in Consciousness
Being a lightworker does not mean you are required to allow your self to be subjected to negativity and abuse. Oftentimes those who ask to be rescued are in a desperate condition due to a longstanding history of negativity and sabotaging beliefs. Such people may, at the personality level, be very angry and resentful. In your daily practice of kindness and compassion, you may observe such a person, “seeing” where they are without judgment. You may choose not to interact with their conscious personality. You may instead choose to interact with the person at the soul level, speaking in consciousness with their soul, which exists in an expanded place beyond any difficulties being created at the level of the conscious mind.
In order to connect with a soul in consciousness, you can enter into a light, trancelike state and travel into your subconscious mind. Once you are in the realm of the subconscious, you are able to connect with others at the soul level. There is no separation between subconscious minds. From this place, you can speak with a person’s soul and higher self, asking why the conscious personality is choosing to experience suffering and emotional pain. A person’s soul will show you the understandings that are being sought and what actions, if any, are appropriate on your part. Often, a person’s highest good is best served by sending them love and compassion at the soul level. This lovingkindness and support assists a person’s soul in becoming a stronger guiding presence on the Earth plane.
Compassion and Unconditional Love
It is always appropriate to experience compassion for others. Compassion is seeing clearly what a person is experiencing, trusting that this experience is helping them progress on their spiritual path, and loving them from a place of unconditional non-judgment and understanding.
While a person experiencing struggle has on some level chosen to undertake this challenge so they can progress on their spiritual path, you can feel compassion for their “self” that must experience this struggle. At the same time, you can rejoice for the “self” that will someday experience the great step forward that this understanding will bring.
It is in this way that true kindness and compassion honors a person’s spiritual path, trusting that every creation is designed to carry them to the next phase of their own becoming. True kindness and compassion involves acting from this place of honoring and trust, and from clear-seeing, unconditional love and right action.
Next week we will discuss the fifth point of light, trusting in your highest vision.

The Holographic World, Part 1
The Importance of Inner Peace and Unification
As you stand at the edge of a new time, you turn your thoughts toward the new world that is to come. This is a world of hearts united in the eternal oneness of the Now. Today we will speak of the journey you can choose to undertake to help create this new world. The task at hand is to create peace and unity within your self and extend this outward, ultimately joining together with others in a vision of peace and unity that will heal the world through time. It is in this way that you will create the new world you have glimpsed in your dreams.
So how do you go about creating this peace and unification? It is by first recognizing all the aspects of your selves, then accepting and loving all these aspects unconditionally. When you can hold every part of your self in a place of love and acceptance, you can begin to create harmony between these aspects. As you create harmony between every aspect of your self, you create inner unity. In other words, you become a whole person rather than a fragmented assortment of dissenting energies.
Some of these aspects of your self are conscious. There are aspects from all different time periods of your present life. Some of these are child selves that are trapped in emotional energy - vulnerable and unable to free themselves without your help. The act of recognizing these selves and assisting them in consciousness is an act of love. This act of love has the power to free your consciousness wherever it is trapped in time.
Other aspects reside in your subconscious and include the repertoire of your past and future life selves incarnated throughout time. Some of these selves may be very different from your present-moment self, yet you have much to gain by sharing with them and vice-versa.
Fragmented Individuals Create a Fragmented World
Unifying aspects of your own consciousness sounds simple enough, yet the fragmentation of individuals is one of the greatest challenges that exists on Earth today. A world of individuals who are fragmented and divided within themselves can only create a fragmented, divided world. In this way, the individual is holographic to the whole.
Much energy is spent trying to bring different factions in your world together, forging unity among different nations. These efforts most always fall short of their goals because those individuals trying to create the unity are fragmented within themselves. We will explain how this fragmenting occurs and how it can be healed.
The Nature of the Focus Self
At every moment within each person's consciousness, there is a "focus self" that directs the flow of attention and energy within the life. This "focus self" is akin to the ego. Its job is to help you navigate on the Earth plane, moving you through numerous realms of experience. By Divine plan, the "focus self" serves as a filter, drawing experiences needed within the moment to learn and grow. Ideally, an individual has many focus selves throughout the course of a lifetime. The individual, depending on their level of awareness, may or may not be aware of changeovers in focus selves, though they are likely to be aware of time periods within their lives that are of distinctly different flavors. As life lessons are completed, the old focus self abdicates its position to other focus selves that are better able to carry out new learning agendas.
However, in reality, this is not always how it works. Whenever an individual identifies too closely with their focus self, that self begins to wield a great deal of power in the life. Over-identification with the focus self is a misunderstanding on the part of many individuals. This circumstance tends to occur when the individual identifies almost exclusively with material reality. In other words, they have tuned out their spiritual connection and come to believe that what they experience with their physical senses is all there is.
When a focus self becomes too powerful, it can begin to undermine growth by refusing to allow anything that threatens its power. Like a tyrannical dictator, it disempowers any new thought or idea that might result in its "overthrow."
The result is much the same as what happens in countries ruled by tyrannical dictators. People (less dominant aspects of your self) become distrusting and fearful of expressing their opinions and feelings to the powers that be (focus self). The resulting discontent and divisiveness threads through each day's existence, undermining manifestations, health, relationships and affecting every aspect of the life.
Sadly, this atmosphere of distrust and separation is the inner climate many on the Earth plane experience every day. They are at war within themselves. It is impossible for an individual at war within themselves to become a source of peace in the world. When you see individuals participating in war, they are at the root attempting to force their perspective on others in order to bring about world unification. The hope underneath this effort is that once there is peace in the world, every being on Earth will have peace. In reality, the reverse is true. There will not be peace in the world until individuals learn to create peace within themselves.
In part two, we will explain how individuals can go about creating inner peace and unity that they can extend out to the world, joining together with others in a common dream for peace.

The Lightworker's Manifesto: A Primer for Coming Times, Part 4 By DL Zeta
We have given you 12 points of light for lightworkers, which you will find listed once again at the end of this discussion. The third point of light we describe today will help you arrive in a place of greater spiritual freedom: transforming the energies you encounter.
Transforming the Energies You Encounter
There will be times when you encounter what feels like low-vibrational energies. These generally center around negative emotions, though they may also take the form of actions that harm other living things, or behaviors purely derived from ego-based intentions.
Many of you have developed an instinctive avoidance when confronted with what you perceive as "toxic" and low-vibrational energies. There are times in your growth and development when avoidance is the best option you can choose. For instance, it may be better to steer in the other direction than allow your energy to be in enveloped in needless confrontation.
There will, however, come a time when you will find it beneficial and necessary to be able to walk through the world, moving through a variety of energetic patterns without allowing your self to become pulled into patterns you do not choose. This is the path to spiritual freedom, to exist in the world without becoming enslaved by it. Spiritual freedom allows you to remain centered in love and peace no matter what is happening around you. Only those who are free in their hearts can shine a bright enough light on the path ahead to guide those in bondage to freedom. We will offer here some ways in which you are able to move through any situation and maintain a high-vibrational perspective.
Becoming Transparent to Energy
Many lightworkers have chosen to withdraw from energies they feel are negative and detracting from their own energy. Sadly, this results in a life of isolation for those who find it difficult coping with the diverse energies they encounter in the world.
Just as you have come to accept and love the many aspects of your self, you can choose to come into a place of acceptance and appreciation of all the energies, thoughts and feelings swirling around you. This acceptance and appreciation will help you become transparent to these energies, which will allow you to stay calm and centered in your own energy while experiencing the energies of those around you. Becoming transparent may take time and practice for some, but it is well worth making the effort to learn transparency.
Remember, you have chosen to incarnate on the Earth with its many diverse energies. The ultimate goal of any incarnate being is to anchor heaven on earth, therefore becoming their higher self in all situations and encounters.
Becoming transparent requires that you refrain from judging the aspects of a person’s behavior with which you don't resonate. In every moment, you can choose to find “harmonizing points” with a person's behavior and essence. Harmonizing points are those traits and behaviors you share in common.
If someone is angry or threatening you, you can see through their behavior to the small child self at the root of such actions. Refrain from jumping into the sand box with this child and acting out an angry exchange. You can choose to merge with your higher self and radiate peace and love, allowing any angry energies to flow right through you. In this way, you pass through life without bringing negative energy into your reality.
Transforming Negative Energies
Once you have learned to become transparent to energies, you may choose to take a further step of transforming negative energies. It is easier to transform energies when you understand the inner workings of energetic patterns. When you encounter a pattern you recognize or experience as "negative," "angry," or "toxic," you can allow yourself to be pulled into it by judging it, fearing it, or aligning with it. Most people have some degree of anger, for example, even if it is forgotten anger from the past that is difficult to access in the present. When one encounters the energetic pattern of anger, any unresolved anger that is within them may be triggered and brought to the surface. They suddenly find themselves feeling angry without knowing why.
This is a gift because it offers an opportunity to bring this emotion into reach of conscious awareness. The key is to recognize that this is happening "within the moment," and bring your own anger into a place of love and acceptance. In loving the emotion, you love the situations from your past that created in you the emotion of anger, understanding these situations were created to help you grow. By holding your anger in a high-vibrational place of love and acceptance, you are able to see how every situation in your life has helped you to grow and evolve spiritually.
From this place of gratitude, you heal the energies within yourself that drew to you the original events where you experienced anger. These events are often difficult to access because they initially occur in childhood or other times in your life when you were vulnerable to the events and actions around you. You do not have to remember each circumstance where you experienced the emotion of anger in order to heal and release it. It is, however, necessary to be able to connect with the emotion in order to heal it.
Each time you encounter low-vibrational energetic patterns, you can choose to gain awareness of any resonant energies within your self and use this as a tool for healing. As you heal these energies within your self, you create energetic pathways for others to also heal and release these energies. In this way, you are able to move through any situation, finding within it kernels of love and gratitude.
Every Person is Creating the Experiences they Need
It is important to release judgment of those who are presently caught up in negative emotions or behaviors. Each person incarnated on the Earth is creating the experiences they need to learn and grow at this moment. Throughout your own arc of lifetimes, you have created experiences at every point along the spectrum of life experience so you could learn and grow.
Many older souls are now experiencing mastery lifetimes where they have moved through and completed a wide variety of Earth school experiences. The final phase of this learning is to stand in a high place and look out over all that you have been, all that you have experienced, and all that you have witnessed with non-judgment and understanding. As you weave together the vast tapestry of your own becoming, you help reinforce the bridge connecting heaven and earth. Others will travel over this bridge and in time it will become a superhighway of oneness and connection.
Next week we will discuss the fourth point of light, practicing kindness and compassion.

Entering the Portal of Personal Renewal
The renewal so many seek at the beginning of each new year has at its root a desire for renewal that extends well beyond receiving a spa treatment, improving one's diet, undergoing a fast or beginning a new regimen of physical exercise. All these steps have the possibility of bringing you closer to the recognition of your deepest longing, but they are just stepping stones along the path to self-realization. At a deeper level, this hope seeks to transcend limitations and to realize one's true nature. It is transcendence that allows the spirit to fly free of the shackles of illusion that holds so many in servitude on the physical plane.
With each year that passes, there is either a moving toward the realization of the deepest longing of the soul, or a moving away from it. Those who have taken their meaning solely from the outer world will begin to notice a hollow feeling. Over time, this empty space expands into a void. This is often experienced as the dry rattle of a lonely wind howling across a great barren expanse. This is the sensation of spiritual poverty as life force recedes from the life and physical body.
Life force energy arrives proportionate to the amount that is needed. Those who put a great effort toward discovering their spiritual mission and carry it out in whatever means available receive the life force energy needed to do this. Within the moment, they receive a great pulsing of life force energy. By contrast, those who retreat into illusion, seeking only the comfort of distraction and entertainment, suffer a stagnancy that shuts down the flow of life force energy over time.
You may consider how much life force energy is required to start a new healing center and assist many beings to health and well-being compared to how much life force is used to play a video game or eat a plate of cookies. There is nothing wrong with the latter unless it takes the place of fulfilling one's purpose in life. What we are talking about here is allowing an external pleasure- seeking impulse to become the guiding desire of one's life.
When one's life force energy is shut down or stagnant for long periods of time, the physical body starts to "amp down," and the spirit begins to withdraw from the life. At the physical level, you can measure life force in terms of the oxygenation of cells. A lack of oxygen most always results in physical disease. This is the physical explanation for disease that reflects the spiritual withdrawal of life force energy from the body.
The good news is that regardless of how far you have traveled off course, regardless of the current state of your physical being, you can choose to enter into the Portal of Personal Renewal and begin turning this energy around. We are offering you today 12 steps to creating true personal renewal in your life. One need not wait until the beginning of the new year to undertake this journey of renewal. You can choose to step into this Portal of Renewal any time and any place. In fact, every day, every hour, every moment can, with the alignment of intention, will, purpose, and soul desire, become a Portal of Personal Renewal, moving you further along the path of your deepest longing.
12 steps to creating personal renewal:
1) Identify your life purpose and ask your guides to reveal to you the steps to fulfilling this purpose. If you don't know yet what your life purpose is, begin reading the energy of your entire life to look for clues. Write your autobiography and examine the energy and essence of all the major milestones. Everything that has ever been created in your life has been designed to carry you further into the realization of this purpose. Make lists of your strengths and weaknesses, the things you love, your talents, and your deepest desires. These are further clues to the nature of your life purpose.
2) Set aside time each day for silence and meditation.
3) Learn to still your mind by practicing concentration skills. Concentrating the attention on a candle flame for 10 minutes each day while releasing all thoughts will help still and focus the mind.
4) Eat a diet that consists of primarily live foods.
5) Fast periodically to clean and detox the body and help release your self from over involvement in the physical world.
6) Develop your intuition. Recording and interpreting your dreams each day is a good way to begin developing intuition. Also, make a practice of listening to the still, small voice within you and observe how the information it offers assists you throughout your day.
7) Create a list of the 10 things you most dearly desire to create and ask your guides to show you steps you can take to begin creating these desires now. Look to see how each item on your Ten Most Wanted list is aligned with your life purpose.
8) Have a goal, purpose, and activity for everything you do.
9) Engage in some sort of physical activity each day. It is especially beneficial to incorporate physical activity such as yoga that unifies mind body and spirit.
10) Make time each day for creative play. Write in a journal, paint, take a long walk in nature. Do what gives you joy.
11) Find some way to share your gifts and talents with others.
12) Clean out closets, drawers, your house and everywhere unused items accumulate. Release everything that you no longer need. This includes old feelings you may be holding onto. Practice gratitude and forgiveness and release the past so you may step more fully into the present moment.
