Sixth Sense, Feelings, and Emotions

[Ishtahota]

I am going to try and ask you to see something that my be difficult at first. We all know of our five senses and we can believe in them even though we can not see them with our eyes. Take sound for instance. We can not see sound, but we do hear it’s effects with our ears. We can not see it but we know that it is there. Sight is another one. We can not see light waves, but we do perceive its effects on our eyes. We also can not see a taste or a smell, but our bodies do react to their presence, and our brains process this unseen information.
I would like you to see emotions and feeling as being our sixth sense. Emotions not being us, but them being something that we create and send out into the world. Emotions floating through the air like a smell, or lightwaves, created by other people, other beings, and even events.
How many of you have walked into a bar or a public gathering place to see some people out of the corner of your eye, and something about those people just said stay away. You knew that if you went over to these people that things would not turn out very well at all. These are feelings and emotions giving you a psychic knowing about something.
When people start doing their personal clearing work, we start to see how people have hurt and we also see how we have hurt other people. To keep going without correcting this behavior means that over time we shut down our ability to feel things. When we do not process feelings they can get stuck in us and if they are strong enough, they can over time turn into disease.
I do not know how many times I have heard people complaining about their feelings and emotions coming up on them during a message therapy session, or people calling my wife and I up days or weeks after attending one of our sweat lodges. People dealing with things that they thought they had already taken care of years earlier. Or people having memories of painful events surface that they had totally forgotten about.
When we start to feel again something surprizing happens. We open up and we start to feel compassion for others. When this happens we not only see what we are doing to others, we also feel it. This is when we start to open up and become a whole human being. With each human being that is opening up, we also have more deep and lasting change in this world of ours.
Not only do people create emotions and feelings, that we can feel as we drive across the land, but so do places in nature. Rivers, woods, trails, neighborhoods, cities, and all sorts of things. Do you remember going to events and gatherings as a child and experiencing the wonderful feelings that seemed to flow threw you? And then sometime between puberty and the end of highschool all of this had shut down.
There are times for me today after doing many years of personal work when I feel these things so deeply, and strongly, that they feel good and painful all at the same time. When we create a garden or a house or a place for people to gather, we can also create a layer of wonderful feelings and emotions to experience along with it.

Very interesting Ishtahota, I like your concept of looking at the senses in different ways then carrying that through to internal spiritual work. There is so much more for us to sense in this world, if we look beyond the obvious we will understand more clearly.

It's funny how the world works. You drive somewhere, park your car, it just sits there with you in it. It doesn't matter what is under the asphault. Even if it did you would not know of it.

You just might do that and walk some few steps and find yourself visiting an old Mission. A failed experiment to convert and civilize the Indians it only exists now for the tourists and the few historians. Except the foyer to the old sactuary might have votive candles lite. Not for special effects. Some one actually cared enough to light and leave one there burning.

Now your imagination beckons to take over. So many stories must have been, begging to be remembered, lost forever with no way to recognition. What were they thinking of back then; what are they thinking of now to light a candle for worship ? If only you could get a glimsp, a hint, just a glimmer from the past. All lost. Did anything survive beyond adobe bricks and rough hewn wood beams and 300 year old painted wall decorations?

Maybe that is how it all starts ...at least for some of us ....for others something else ...

I think as human beings, it is part of our nature to try to avoid, or bury memories and painful feelings. But it has been my experience, that no matter how deeply buried we think they are, or how much we try not to think about them. They will still bubble up to the surface. Either in some other form, or released into our dreams.

I believe that a lot of people's physical ailments are connected to things that they have tried to suppress. That by not being given an outlet, the power of those unacknowledged feelings turn upon us. Even though many individuals know this on an intellectual level, they often need help of some kind to work through them, to release them. If it were easy to do I'm sure many would have found a way of doing it before. People need to be supported with love and compassion. Facing issues within can be very painful and sometimes frightening. That is why I think counseling - holistic therapies and spiritual healing in it's many different forms can bring relief.

When a trauma or deep personal hurt occurs. The mind tries to protect itself, by numbing the emotions. While this is ok short-term, to help someone through the initial period. If it goes on too long, this feeling of numbness and emotional detachment, starts to become the norm. Whilst it might help to deal with the trauma. It can also affect someone's ability to think and feel in a normal way. Many have spoken to me of this feeling of inner deadness, of not being able to 'feel anything'. Yes, they no longer feel the pain, but they cannot feel joy, happiness or pleasure either.

When practicing Reiki, or receiving Reiki attunements, there is a condition which can occur, called a 'healing crisis'. This occurs, because many of the things people have buried within themselves has started to be released. This process of release can for a while sometimes make a person feel worse then they did in the beginning. But as I have had it explained to me; it is simply the bodies way of purifying itself. An emotional and spiritual detoxification, if you will.

An analogy I use to describe this process is this. The band-aid or plaster that has been covering up this emotional wound has been ripped off. For a while, it will bleed and discharge toxic matter that has been accumulating below the surface. Once it has released it all, it will then start to heal properly and become healthy again. This is what must happen too, on an emotional and spiritual level.

The residue of stuck emotions in your body is there to help you process an element of self-judgement that you've accumulated (quite on purpose) so that you might overcome it. Without this "trauma" you would never set out on the journey. People who have never experienced bad things in their life appear to be clueless - merrily, happily trodding along until they are ready to confront a huge problem.

For me, my life energy was so subdued, in a way, particularly sexually speaking, but more so as a form of self rejection, that I had no other choice - at all - AT ALL, than to seek enlightenment. I knew there was simply no other way to heal my trauma, so I set out on that journey, with no other thought in my mind. My trauma and my decisions and longing and intent to get rid of it, were one and the same. Only someone who experiences "death" seeks out to find "life". And he seeks out to find life more abundantly than anyone else ever even dreams of.

I now know that trauma is composed of a condition that involves an element of self-judgement. In my case, I didn't even realise the condition in its truest form until I had gone haywire enough to seek it out with pinpoint accuracy. I realised it was something I would always hide from the ones it concerned. This involved women, and the thing I was so ashamed of was the fact that my sexual life had been particularly difficult. What I didn't want girls to know was my extreme difficulty in "getting some". Yet had I even come out with it even once, it would have healed everything. And in the end I did, and it did.

Once I discovered the condition ("I am a guy who has never approached a girl") I also realised the self-judgement that went with it ("And therefore I am a loser"). I then reinterpreted the condition ("I am doing this on purpose, I am a Don Juan in disguise") which gave me the guts to say something sexual to a girl. I was scared to death but for the first time in my life I was able to.

After that I deemed the problem solved. I now enjoy every sexual encounter I have and even though it may not seem to amount to anything yet (don't hold your horses) I recognise the purpose of the other person's soul and I see their own fear and experience their feelings and notice how it allows them to grow as well. And I know I was the exact right person at the exact right time for them. So life has become a breeze.

I'm now walking the earth as a "master" and I recognise that every one of us is walking in masterful ways. Mastery, too, is something you only need to recognise (remember) and then you "realise" it, that is, make it real in your life. Life is mostly a matter of asking the right questions.

So ask this question today, about some past event that you regret: "was there mastery involved?" If you can perceive the mastery, you will also instantly realise how you can fix the situation.

And know this too: a lot of things happen in the Unseen. You may not even need to "fix" the situation anymore. The next time you meet this person, things may be different. You may have forgiven all the guilt that was present in the scene.

Chances are, at some point in your life, you've felt someone staring at you. Maybe you were at the grocery store. Maybe walking along the sidewalk. Maybe sitting on a bus. And sure enough, when you turned your head to look, the suspect's eyes met yours.
You just had an anomalous experience.

[Ishtahota]

I had a teacher once when I was in my twenties. I thought that he was going to teach me Kung-Fu. He said that there was other things that he needed to teach me first, before the movements, kicks and punches. This man worked for the government when he was younger and he was also an Apache warrior who had gone to Vietnam. He said that the first part of his teaching was more important then any fighting would ever be. Anyway, he never taught me any movements, what he did teach me had to do with opening up something deep inside of me that could feel my enemy coming before I could ever see them. My graduation did flipped me out.

I was in downtown Asheville NC, I had just left the courthouse and I was walking towards the corner of Pack Square and Builtmore Ave, when I had the urge to get on one knee and point with one finger at the corner. I was pointing at a blind corner. I could not see any of the traffic coming up Builtmore Ave until it got to the corner, because of the building that blocked the view. This Apache man drove up to the corner and stopped looking dead at me with the biggest smile that I had ever seen. I was already on one knee pointing at him when he drove out of the blind spot. And that was not the freaky part, he was already pointing at me when drove from behind the building on the corner. I never saw him again after that day.

That is quite an amazing thing mr. Ishtahota.

My life has turned a different wheel for the past few months. Things have been well extremely though. I had never imagined it going this hard (difficult). A source (or store) of rage, depression, etcetera opened up in me in the beginning of August. Since I *have* learned to divine the energy of mostly every action, still learning though. I have learned about the 5 emotions and the 5 distortions of those emotions. I have learned to work with my chakra's for every piece of emotional work in that sense, operating with these 7 chakra's (usually) and learning the locations where these negative emotions are stored (the distortions). I have learned the relationship between the 5 emotions and the 5 distortions. How every distortion is matched with a healing agent, and knowing the energy of what is coming at you, makes it extremely simple, albeit sometimes difficult, to pick the corresponding response, and after a while -- it also becomes clear that people who are relaxed in themselves often automatically unknowningly pick the correct response, and much of automatic body language deals with that.

I just thought the encounter you described was amazing. Even in my current mood of depression I went HA!. ;-).

But I was reminded today also of how I can often divine the chemical components of e.g. food. Someone gave me a few pecan nuts. I immediately realised it was a high source of folium acid. I exclaimed that at the public table here (softly) (lunch table) and immediately checked the web with a quick search of "pecan folium acid" and immediate results were affirmative.

In this same way I have priorly divined the chemical components necessary to reduce "ancient copper" to regular copper. Without 'knowing' anything else I knew that I needed hydrochloric acid of a high percentage solution, as well as hydrogen peroxide. And voila, a quick search on the web learns that this is THE best way to dissolve copper. I haven't been able to put it into effect yet, but I was right on the money about the concentration of the H2O2 as well. 30% HCl and 4% H2O2 is what is advised to dissolve copper.

I do the same with vinegar, sulfuric acid, alcohol (pure, or 96%), and so on, and so on. Baking soda. It is easy for me to know what to do when.

I discover all kinds of treatments to do with body and hair, etcetera, although I haven't been able to get a good quality vinegar (neutral, white) anymore. They only sell it in the USA (I guess) and I have found one source, that is sold as organic pesticide, but it is simply a food-grade vinegar.

I don't even really know what folium acid is, but I may have previously seen it being related to nuts. Nevertheless, simply eating the thing immediately made me aware of the compound.

That's all for me to say at this point. But thank you for the anekdote, and the experience. This is what I live for ;-). . Bye.
