Rising Stars: Meet Y’Shell Esta

Grand Rising, VoyageLA readers. My artist name is Y‘Shell Esta and I like to go by Lady Rainbow. I live in Tongva Land, also known to many as Los Angeles, deep in the Forgotten Edge part of Echo Park. I am a mother of three boys, my youngest is four years and the older two are 19 and 16 years. My corp background has been in finance, management, marketing, retail, and I have been a muse for my long-time friend and photographer, Kimberly Williams with Vizualzen. Now, I am a student of the Gene Keys for the past 3-4 years, I’m working towards their Ambassadorship and am currently in their Guides Program.

At sunset and sunrise, I will often do a fire ceremony called Agnihotra; Agni means fire, and hotra means healing. This is a time to sit quietly and calmly with the dancing fire in meditation. With a pure open heart full of love and gratitude until the fire extinguishes itself. This fire ceremony helps purify the air and atmosphere 7 miles north, which then creates a dome effect healing our environment and supporting everyone who lives within a mile radius of the center resonance point. So I am definitely getting the Downtown Financial District and clearing all that energy and everyone within it, and the plant and animal life. It is purely a peaceful practice I share with my son and partner as well as an energy ritual that provides actual healing results. When performed, Agnihotra can reduce stress, bring greater clarity of thought, give one increased energy level and improve overall health.

I have been on my spiritual path for the longest as I can remember, AND especially, exponentially after my divorce in 2019. I dove deep into a personal development mode of self-help, self-healing, and self-love which was #1. I had to relearn and remember who I am and my purpose here during these auspicious and transformational times. All I can do is be accountable for my placement here on the planet. Staying in my Light and standing in my truth. I was getting into the practice of saying or writing what I was grateful for. Now, I am fully feeling and embodying love and gratitude as a way of living and being. It is time we all step into our light.

It is through the way of living in natural time that has realigned in my life, as I learn to regularly attune myself to the 13 months and 28-day natural time-harmonic calendar standard (Visit https://theharmonicfactor.com). This is the frequency to become more conscious and aware of ourselves in relationship with the Biosphere (Circle of Life), the Noösphere (thinking layer of Earth), and the Cosmos. It is important during this transitional process in remembering ourselves, and why we are here. The ancient cultures knew how to harness spiritual and natural energies to raise consciousness and create peace. It is up to us now to remember this wisdom.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
In the transformational book “Pillars of Light: Stories of Goddess Activations™” by Radhaa Publishing House, in Chapter 13: Goddess Freya, I share my personal experiences of “feminine pain from the old paradigms” based on previous love relationships. Reflecting back, I would ask: What are the obstacles to my vision?

“I was in Co-dependent relationships of repressive and reactive natures. 21 years of being in my own personal Spanish ‘novella’ ending in divorce. I can remember over those years the disrespect by these men archetypes, my self-expression issues, the lack of trust, inability to speak my feelings, repressed feelings, giving my power to others, their anger and rage, a lot of walking on eggshells, and carrying these heavy loads of trauma. I became a shadow version of myself, broken in my inner self.

I would tuck my feelings away and had better control over them. I tried to prevent situations I didn’t want to be in—an experience where it usually ended up in a fight, a fight that may have led to rage. This rage led to him putting me down, only later to tell me not to take it personally. There used to be this dark gloomy energy that lingered after fights like I was playing a game I had no chance of winning. I didn’t even know I was “playing” until it was too late sometimes. I was accused of being crazy or an abusive person for reacting to the abuse, thus playing the ‘victim role.’

My dependency was the chronic neglect to gain approval, love, validation, and self-identity. Trauma bonding left my nervous system in complete dysregulation leading to dis-ease in my thyroid. Looking back, I was constantly in a fawn or freeze trauma response in survival mode, not listening to my body that was screaming out to me. I had to take my spiritual healing seriously and stop all of it!

My friends and family would reach out and ask me what happened to the woman who used to be independent, strong, and energetic. I had frantically excused my abusers’ behavior and could not acknowledge the painful truth behind my relationships; something had changed. It wasn’t until after being separated and getting the support of my friends and family that I began to see everything more clearly.

I sought out therapy which taught me that I am not a product of my past or those circumstances but that I am a product of my choices today. Hence, the power to own my vulnerabilities, embrace them and carry them in the world as great gifts of beauty, love, and healing. I have done many healing sessions within the past few years with several teachers, detached from my previous relationship experiences, I know now they were lessons and opportunities to learn and evolve. For example, if my ex-husband comes off aggressively calling me names or sending me inappropriate text messages, I know now this is where grace can transcend because he isn’t talking about me. Whoever he is identifying as me is a misidentification. He knows only of a particular interpretation of an experience he remembers and recalls of me. This interpretation doesn’t mean that it is who I am right now. However, I have the choice to not engage in that and remain in my light, remaining gracious. It’s not easy, but I have to transcend the nonsense. I am authentically, lovingly, gracefully approaching it this way because I ultimately want what’s best for my 4-year-old son.

All I can do is keep the possibility open that my son’s father will create a reality that aligns with mine. From a resonance standpoint, my choosing to approach it from grace will lift him by virtue into a space that I am creating. And it doesn’t matter if he fights it or goes with it. My concern is what frequency I keep—not letting anyone get the pleasure of pulling me out of my light. In the end, I am responsible for that. I was blind to the toxicity our relationship had become. It just isn’t my job to detox toxic people. It is my responsibility to detox that part of myself that resonated with their toxicity. We had an opportunity to grow together, and, unfortunately, what unfolded divinely was the shadow side to this shadow behavior.

After the divorce, the Gene Keys studies have been a huge impact and are part of my spiritual healing path daily to remember, re-learn, re-quest, and reconnect with myself, whereas before, I felt conditioned to believe others created my sense of self. Also, in this year’s power, I was given the gift of the Goddess Activations™ by Radhaa Nilia, a healing modality that activated the goddess archetype of Freya, which has transformed my journey into a triumphant holder as a Pillar of Light located in sunny southern California.

It is a privilege to love and learn from this and all my relations. I am in a much happier space, leading a life filled with more meaning, joy, and connection. Knowing that I am the creator of my reality, I celebrate myself with freedom of expression. The most important relationship I have is the one with myself. It shapes every relationship I have. Being a mother of three boys, I am raising them to be kings, and I continue to teach them to build healthier, authentic relationships with others. As I attune within myself more, I heal and let go of any codependent tendencies and move towards genuine, heart-centered relationships. Patience makes perfect.”

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?

As a Gene Keys Guide, I help others find the information they are looking for through embracing real-life challenges and breakthroughs while guiding them towards their higher purpose. I take a deeper contemplative look within and spiral up your fractal to share what the equivalent spheres are based on your personalized Hologenetic Profile and offer my own unique Gene Keys Relationship Equivalent readings and Individual Equivalent readings. The Gene Keys sequences are very aligned in working with self and as part of the collective. In the first sequence, the Activation/Genius equivalent sphere will be activated within you, this is specifically about your own genius and how you can express it easily. In the 2nd sequence, the Venus/Love equivalent sphere will initiate healing in self-love and partnerships, improving how you react or interact with others. In the 3rd sequence, the Pearl/Prosperity equivalent sphere will energize your vocation, illuminating your purpose or mission in life and taking the initiative of offering your gifts to be of service to the world.

What are the Gene Keys?

The Gene Keys are a self-realization teaching method developed by Richard Rudd. The system synthesizes and harmonizes a blend of genetics, quantum mechanics, personal development, myths, archetypes, and the ancient wisdom of astrology and the I’Ching. Its purpose is to awaken you to your highest potential in life. There are 64 Gene Keys or ‘universal archetypes of consciousness,’ of which you have a unique profile that has a specific layout of keys within the 11 different spheres of your personal chart.

“Embrace the Shadow, release the Gift, embody the Siddhi.” – Richard Rudd.

Each of the 64 Gene Keys has a Shadow, a Gift, and a Siddhi frequency. The Siddhi is the frequency band of the very expression and fruition relating to spiritual self-realization. The Sanskrit word for siddhi means “fulfillment,” “perfection,” “accomplishment” or “Divine gift” in English. As you contemplate the Gene Keys, physically, emotionally, and mentally they will begin to raise your frequency and that of your DNA. It is essential to keep in mind that the shadow patterns are the unconscious drivers of our thinking and decision-making in our lives, and therefore keep us stuck in or repeating certain situations and cyclical patterns. Within all of these Shadows lay all of our hidden gifts. The information in each Shadow is designed to make you aware of your reactive and repressed tendencies, so you can observe them when they emerge from day-to-day and refine your behavior and attitude, to live more in the gift and siddhi fields of the planet and with all your relations.

Additional creative work has been as a video co-producer for both music videos “Celestial Waters” by Mystic Column (MC2) and “I/O” by Mikuak Rai. I was a co-producer for both the “ALIGN with EARTH” mini-series leading to “ALIGN with EARTH, A Celebration of Regenerative Arts & Culture” live broadcast event on Earth Day 2021, presented in partnership with EarthDay.org and UNIFY. I am an additional vox on the hi-resonance track “Galactivation” from the album “SIRIUS CODES: The Great Conjunction,” written, produced, and performed by Mystic Column (MC2). MC2 calls their music and tones hi-resonance because it raises the mood and vibration of the listener. I also performed crystal bowl tones on the “SIRIUS CODES Galactivation Sequence” by MC2 and Planet Restoration,commemorating the 12.21.12 – 12.21.21 9-year anniversary, as well as the 1-year marker since The Great Conjunction of 12.21.20, for which “SIRIUS CODES: The Great Conjunction” EP was initially created.

How do you define success?
This year’s essence, I ask: What is my service? What form will my service take? Here is a great example of something of  “value” that is present every day of my life and that was gifted to me through their path of service. It is given in a form of wisdom shared to all of Humanity and being one with the Earth. An excerpt from the book by Dr. José Argüelles, Manifesto for the Noosphere: The Next Stage in the Evolution of Human Consciousness:

“A major theme of this book revolves around the notion of envisioning Earth as a work of art, for the transition into the Noosphere indicates a profound shift in human values and priorities — from materialism and consumerism to a normalized paranormal spirituality and the practice and elevation of art to the peak of human values and activities. A plethora of archetypal structures, repressed until now, will find release through the channeled means of hitherto unrealized artistic possibilities giving form to a symbiosis of the human imagination and the natural order.

Like the “Dreamtime” known to our aboriginal ancestors, the Noosphere is the collective unconscious impelled into conscious awareness by the crucible of history. The super-subtle telepathic medium in which we live — whether knowingly or not — and which orchestrates the whole of our reality is the Noosphere. Throughout our history, human beings acted as agents of the Noosphere, bringing about this epochal transition but without awareness of this process or the consciousness that our tribal and individual actions would eventually lead to a new state of collective planetary wholeness. Humanity is now going through its final preparation to enter, as a harmonized collective, into this new conscious Dreamtime.

In speaking of it as an entry into a new Dreamtime, we are casting the Noosphere into the psycho-mythic framework of a planetary emergence myth. In such myths of the Hopi, the people are warned and given signs to take action in preparation for the wiping away of the old world and emergence into the new creation of the next world. This concept is applicable to the Noosphere as a planetary rite of passage. From the Hopi perspective, such a change is the emergence from the fourth into the fifth world, and in the Aztec-Mexican mythos, from the fifth sun of change into the sixth sun of consciousness.

As the medium through which a galactic order of evolutionary intelligence interacts with and ultimately transforms the material processes and organic expressions of the Earth, the Noosphere is not restricted to limited rationality or a linear either/or meaning. Instead, once we align with the Noosphere, we will perceive and know radially. We will experience everything as multiple sets of correspondences that link everything to everything else in a synchronically harmonized multidimensional universe.

Opening to the Noosphere, we avail ourselves of the thinking layers of cosmic civilization. The highly advanced telepathic intelligence communicated through the Noosphere resonates different dimensions of meaning according to daily codes of synchronicity; the most fundamental of these is encoded as the 13-moon/28-day calendar. Synchronized being and simultaneous knowing are the chief qualities and characteristics of the shift into the noospheric phase of evolution.

This new system of knowing and consciousness channeled through the Noosphere will provide the basis of advanced knowledge and a psycho-technology making use of our psychic capabilities. This knowledge will displace all the separatist fictions that now bind us to an ongoing conflict of self and nature. In 2012, we initiated the new paradigm of synchronization; in 2013 and beyond, we accessed the Noosphere to implement a transformation of the Earth. This phase of implementation begins the epoch of the Noosphere, the long-awaited “mind shift.”

The shift into a noospheric state of being represents a collective focusing and unification of human consciousness hitherto undreamed. Synchronizing ourselves in ever-greater circles of harmony, we will become a new species — Homo noosphericus. Creative peace will be inherent in our new self-perception and developing awareness of the Universe in which we find ourselves. The problems we face today will dissolve in the light of a consciousness operating according to a unified planetary program. Spiritually interconnected and acting with a truly planetary and galactic perspective, we will dance to the greater rhythms of the cosmic Supermind. Art will become our way of life.”
