Change is inevitable. It is the only constant in the universe. The question is do we cling on to an outdated world or do we release ourselves from the binding shackles that keep us locked in? I trust the flow of higher benevolent consciousness 'knows where it is going'. It is knowing this within my deepest heart that gives me the strength to let go and flow. It is this flow that has spurred on my journey of spiritual evolution.

Here's one of my favourite stories that illustrates this so well. It is an expert from a book called Illusions by Richard Bach...

Credit crunch over...resource crunch begins
So what will our collective history show as humanity's response to the credit crunch? That we saw it as a last minute warning on the unsustainability of our current society? That we should completely restructure the way we live to bring it back into line with Gaia and her natural eco-systems? NO!!! Instead we decided to print more money and accelerate the industrial consumption machine. The result is we're heading even more rapidly to a global resource crunch of water, food and energy over the next few decades. Here at Openhand we've long encouraged people to question the long term viability of our current society, to go within, transcend the limitations of time and space, and unfold into the new paradigm which exists here and now all around us. The clock is ticking, there is no time to delay...

The more I awaken my true beingness the fewer words there are to describe the awesome simplicity that remains...
My experience is of a space of timeless, emptiness, a place of liberation. It is a paradoxical internal experience that encompasses all things. Form dissolves into the formlessness from which it arose and reforms a new. I see this liberation at the heart of us all...

Science converging with spirituality
During Openhand work we frequently 'dip into' the latest science theories to add volume and solidity. We find that if we can 'balance the mental equation', restless minds become more peaceful, encouraging people deeper within. I studied quantum theory at Oxford University in the early 1980's when the global science community was getting really excited about 'string theory'. It didn't mean much then until I actually started EXPERIENCING it directly, finding myself suddenly expanded and able to contemplate through multiple dimensions of reality. Well now, the latest evolution of string theory, what's know as "M theory", is coming tantalisingly close to uniting both spiritual experience and scientific thinking...
