01/01/12: "2012 - A year of challenge and change..."
Submitted by Chris Bourne on 1 January, 2012 - 03:32
Hi friends,
It's that time of the year again! As you may well know, here at Openhand we don't tend to go by prophecy. Reality is determined by how we are being and by our actions. We shape our journey by the choices we make and for the current times at least, humanity in its entirety, whether integrated or not, is having a defining impact on every moment. Although it can be counterproductive to prophecise, what we can do however is accurately read the current flow of events, connect with the underlying consciousness and therefore intuit vital trends as to the way forwards. How do you feel when mirroring circumstances are presented? What do they unfold in your beingness? That's the value of accurately reading the flow. So what do we feel is currently shaping as we turn the page on 2012?...
A divine connection with Gaia
Firstly for me, ever since I heard about the date 2012, it resonated something within me. But rather than necessarily reading about it, I wanted to find out for myself, directly from the source. Since I could feel the changes were coming from Gaia herself, that's with whom I knew I had to connect. So I took myself off into the woods and meditated.
The answer didn't come immediately, it took a while to get to the required level of stillness for the awareness to land. But when it did, it felt pretty unequivocal to me. It spoke into the core of my being, as if activating a thread of consciousness that was directly connecting me to Gaia. Without the use of words, but more as a feeling exchange, what she 'told' me was this...
- "As you know the universe is totally interconnected. You pull on one true thread of consciousness and you are pulling on the whole. Currently you've been living in a reality that regards everything as separate. So it doesn't expect to see coincidences, signs, metaphor or omens. Yet when you move into the space of interconnectedness, the whole universe speaks the universal language of synchronicity. It is not a designed language like something you would speak, it's the natural, inherent universal make-up itself."
"So if you take something like the numerology 2012, no one is saying that something is going to happen just because it is 2012. Something is going to happen AND it happens to be 2012. The synchronistic code is created by the interconnectivity. Get it?" I did!
"So what then can you intuit from this code? What is it saying? First of all the obvious. The zero kind of looks like the earth and represents me. Take the zero out of the equation. The resultant formula is now relating to changes I am making. You're left with 212. What does that say to you?" Immediately I saw two realities - two worlds - separated by a dividing line. "Yes indeed! So what are the two worlds and what is the dividing line?" To get the answer, I just somehow knew I had to relate the numbers to get dimensions of reality. If I took the lower of the two worlds and added the 2 to the 1, then I'd get three - the lower reality. And if I added everything extra to the right of the dividing line, I'd get 5 - the higher reality - because one enfolds the other. If I took the dividing line itself out, then I'd be left with 2+2 ie 4 which represents the fourth dimension, the bridge between worlds.
I just knew that in sometime around 2012, the CENTRE OF CONSCIOUSNESS of Gaia was moving from the 3rd Dimension, through the 4th and centering in the 5th dimension. For me it was unequivocal and a knowing that this underlying shift of consciousness was effecting and influencing every single event here on our planet, within society and within our personal lives. That's why there's been so much challenge and change in recent times and why there's much more to come.
Disinformation, deception and delusion
This change in Gaia is signaling a much greater process. Possibly much more than we're currently able to fathom, including and especially within spiritual circles, for there is much disinformation, deception and delusion abound. The consciousness of humanity has been shaped, controlled and manipulated for thousands of years by an underlying Opposing Consciousness. We're seeing the mirror of that intervention all around us now. It was brought particularly into view through the revolutionary uprisings of 2011 and especially within the Occupy Movement. The mirror is set to get ever clearer in the years and decades ahead. We are now entering the beginning of that rationalisation and purification process.
As the current, centering shift of Gaia completes, for her it will be relatively gentle - as gentle as she can muster. Any being that is aligned with the movement, will increasingly feel it and their lives will make greater and greater sense within the overall universal dynamic. But anyone, anything or any consciousness that is not in alignment, will have the thread of their garment slowly but surely torn apart. That's why anything of lower equity and harmony is feeling such unrest and turmoil right now.
That's why we're witnessing attempts by the powers that control society to exert even greater control. We've witnessed that especially in America with the "Indefinite Detention Bill" and with their greater sensorship of the free internet. As trends are currently going, we can expect more of that not less. We're likely to see all kinds of distractive agenda, such as war in the Middle East, and greater economic centralisation to try to invoke martial law type control.
- It's all about trying to protect a matrix of conditioning that subjugates the many by giving power and wealth to the few. If you can't see the underlying truth in that yet,
then you'd have to still be asleep!
Greater disclosure
And they're using just about any and all methods in the book to ensure that control. As awakened people begin to share their truth, there's much deception and misinformation that's purposefully being superimposed. They're literally terrified of the Enlightenment process. That's why they've worked so hard to stamp out the Occupy Movement. At one peaceful demonstration of five thousand people, there was literally one policeman for every protester. That's not freedom of speech, that's facism! And don't be at all surprised judging by the sheer volume of ET type films in Hollywood right now that a faked alien invasion figures in their strategy - as crazy as it may seem!
That's not to say our past history has not been intervened by an Opposing (alien) Consciousness, in my reality it very much has and still is. One thing we can certainly expect is greater disclosure about exactly how that intervention happened genetically and how it's still happening energetically from the higher dimensions today. But we will never truly understand how this is really going on until we get into the higher planes of consciousness and feel it for ourselves.
- But that's what Opposing Consciousness does not want. It will use any method possible to keep people focusing on the 3D. Distraction and deception are its key weapons, for once we truly step beyond the 3D, we can amass unlimited power in unraveling illusionary and disharmonious realities - just like the one we're living in right now.
So in 2012, you can expect lots of distraction, lots of deception, lots of false flag revelations and disclosures. As you read these things that reveal themselves - especially in spiritual circles where the deception is greatest - you'd do well to remember one thing:
- Nothing is what it may at first appear to be!
A new landscape, a new world
So what does this mean about our way forwards through 2012? It means we each have to take personal responsibility for our choices, our motivations and our truth. It doesn't matter how informed or enlightened the external source of information may appear to be, we must ALWAYS process that information through our own hearts and truly feel what resonates with us.
In a world of intellect, this can be a very hard thing to do. Frequently it's very difficult to discern our own true feelings. That's why it is beneficial to work in community with one another and share our experiences. Much underlying truth is revealing itself this way. It's just that we need to hold this truth very lightly and carefully, allowing it to adapt, change and evolve.
- It's all about building a new consciousness landscape. It's about looking through this 3D world of confusion and feeling out what is really true for us, having the courage and patience to cast aside that which we don't truly know or resonate with. It's about staying engaged with the process, continually letting go of out-dated ideas, refining our perspective until suddenly, one day, the veil falls away and a new world reveals itself from the burned out ashes of the old.
In 2012, I'd say this is the challenge that is clearly presenting itself: a change in the way we perceive and approach life, that can carry us forwards into a new reality.

The need for an outcome - Great Expectations
Hidden danger of the need for an outcome.
Right now I find myself bumping into quite a few people with what I can only describe as having "Great Expectations" for the New Year (especially because it's 2012). In some ways of course this is not a bad thing - to have a positive outlook on life has always been something that has served me. But in the greetings I've experienced, I've sensed other things too - things I observe definitely don't serve. Especially the need for an outcome and the dangers this can entail.
What I've observed are people who've had some level of awakening, but then wondering why life has been so tough? There are quite a few here in Glastonbury who follow work such as "The Secret" and trying to manifest a 'better' reality. So when things do get tough, the problem is there's not enough acceptance of that and working to understand why they created it in the first place.
Then I'll hear "well I'm hoping and believing 2012 is going to be a better year" - because they've heard lots about how it's going to awaken the group consciousness and "change things for the better."
Because it's my gift and my job to be able to communicate with people on multiple levels, I can read the teaching their higher selves have created and simultaneously the distortions that are blocking those realisations - sometimes it's quite painful for me to experience!
Yes, in my knowing, there is a big infusion of consciousness going on which will likely intensify through 2012. But we need to appreciate (assuming this continues to happen) what impact it will have. Yes, those who experience it will experience an increase in the sense of light infusion. But when that happens - especially if it's quite powerful - the light is going to stir up our own inner darkness. That is unless we try to suppress it.
It is within the darkness that our own ancient light has become fragmented and buried,
the light infusion is searching out those lost aspects of beingness
so it has to go into the dark and activate it - to stir it up!
Yes it feels painful when this happens. Yes it can be very emotional and tiring. Yes we might get angry, frustrated or even a sense of depression for a while. But if we try to suppress this or paint some rosy light over the top of it, all we do is bury it deeper.
The invitation is to go into the darkness that presents itself. Explore the feelings of it and our attachments to it: to understand how and why we've been limited by it in the past. Then we need to become awesomely okay in that energy - "as nothing" it it. Only when we are that, can we truly let the dense energy flow away - and at this point, positive intent CAN be used most effectively.
Once the density has dissipated (which can happen quite quickly), then we're likely to feel a strong integration of the light internally. The lost fragment that had been buried in the darkness is recovered and reintegrated. As we experienced recently on our New Year Retreat, that often comes with a sense of upliftment, healing inner warmth, a feeling of empowerment, joy, interconnectivity and new gifts of beingness are unleashed such as increased psychic sensitivity.
It's only when we dispense with the need for an outcome that our "Great Expectations" of growth and change can be truly fulfilled.

the need for an outcome
Hi Chris,,Thanks for your recent posts,,they are very uplifting,,I first saw ,The 5 gateways ,about 6 months ago,and my book is underlined all over the place,,ive woken up to the matrix and whats going on,,but as yet,i feel no gateway awakening,,,ive been the observer of myself,,,and strangely enough,,i was in a book shop 2 weeks ago, and a book with ,,,The power of now,,written on it caught my eye,,so i bought it,,,and it ties in with what you say about being the observer,,,so,,,,I truly want to awaken,,but am i expecting an outcome here?,,,,is 6 months a little to soon for the awakening to begin? hopefully we will meet in person one day !! thanks
Thanks for the post Chris...
Thanks for the post Chris... I always thought I was awake because I felt things so much. I lived in a world holding thaty connectedness in place, and your right, its very limiting... But when Unity comes to you and shines thru you its hard for me to even think in terms of outcomes, I do feel the things in my life though that dont fit that Unityness and Im sure they will take care of themselves... Im still processing the POWERFUL experience. The only thing Ill say is that I feel like a religious man. Like a Pastor of some type. I have also felt a very strong pull to the outdoors. I noticed when Im inside I feel Im drawn to the window to take in the veiw.. Life will never be the same again, Im so humbled and thankful to have been touched....
2012 - using anything and everything to evolve
I can see and feel personally on myself how the contra is growing: the distraction, the noise, the denseness. There are so many things flying around, pieces of information, all kinds of disturbing things, news with dramatic voices and all that
I don't know if it's the best thing to do and I am still exploring it, but unlike before, when I was just avoiding and isolating myself from all that, I am allowing it to happen. Only that instead of getting sucked into it, I look at how I feel.
It might be that this is just part of my individual process, as I felt deep sorrow about humanity and what is going on with it since ~13. It looked like a horror to me. So can I process that? Can I accept things as they are, dive in, experience all this denseness and then find the purity in it?
So what I am doing now is actually the opposite of what might be expected from a spiritually evolving person
Instead of sitting in silence in the woods, I find myself in and jump into the most dense environments like dark tech parties, meet 'lost' people, and don't exactly lead 'pure' life. I do drink alcohol here and there (while being careful and keeping the line), get into areas filled with cigarette smoke, into places with just too many people, with people pushing me and stepping on my feet, get into repelling restrooms, etc.
All these things used to make me desperate, anxious or even get panic attacks in past. I used to feel intimidated, disturbed, polluted. And now... It is hard to believe, but I get there and all this can't touch me, in a sense that if I feel contracting I work with it and... I just don't have words! I couldn't possibly imagine the I can find so much light, grace and peace in these kinds of places. I feel like I am breaking through the illusionary boundaries I have built for myself, with all those things I said I can't do or take, and being tested all the time. It is very surprising just HOW much.
So... What I am trying to say is that when I let go the idea of how my evolution should be, I was taken to the places I couldn't even think of going back to.
So like you're saying, Chris. People are looking for rosy bubbles and try to sell rosy bubbles. But we all have our own things to process. How and where could I process the blockage about being smoked in my face if not when and where I AM being smoked in my face?
And here I resonate very strongly with what you said: "those who experience it will experience an increase in the sense of light infusion. But when that happens - especially if it's quite powerful - the light is going to stir up our own inner darkness. That is unless we try to suppress it."
I feel this amazing energy infusing so often (and I make sure it's coming from the right place), it's just so much grace that I find myself crying all the time. And then things begin to move, both in me and around me. And here I feel that I might have a tendency to want to play with things and feel a bit sad that all this is going to go bye bye. I feel like some fun game is being taken from me. I don't push myself. Because imposing processing is just creating more tension. I wait and watch, experience it all, until the right moment is coming and then pufff! I'm through .
And the last thing I feel is important to refer to is that I don't ignore anything! I hear a lot about 'the end of the world', and what is spooky is that it is not coming from the 'voodoo people' anymore, but from very serious scientists, from all kinds of departments. They disagree about how exactly, but say the same: it is coming. The conditions on Earth change towards the impossibility for the majority of humanity to survive on it.
So... I could ignore. Or I could process my fear of death, very deep sorrow about all these things around disappearing,
a very painful sense of being offended and tortured by life , a sense of injustice, all these things. I chose the latter.
So I know one thing: 2012 - is going to be a constant surprise for me and I feel like using anything, whatever is popping up in my landscape to get closer to myself and find peace wherever and in whatever.
With much love,
Yulia

Thanks for sharing! I have been reading as many articles here as possible, and I must say, almost everything I read here from articles to experiences shared by other users gives me goosebumps!
It is almost as if the words (or vibrations of those words) spoke directly to my soul and is tugging threads of my consciousness, peeling off layers of delusional reality. For that, I am so grateful as it gives me renewed vigor, strength and courage to withstand and face all the challenges living in society. There is so much I'd like to share, but don't know where to begin.
The path to awakening, can be very difficult as it inevitably entails being an outcast to a certain extent. But once traversed, there is no turning back and I am so glad for it.
Michael, I can relate so much to your experience. However, I believe that time is hardly a matter of concern. The process of awakening begins with awareness.
I feel compelled to share my experience. Ever since I was aware of that beyond the veil of delusions, I constantly feel 'the pull' to nature. As often as possible, I will runaway to the woods and waterfalls to spend time with nature. Each of these escapades are really bountiful as i almost always come home with new realizations and awesome feelings, renewed. The notion of reality rearranged piece by piece.
On one of my most recent escapade to the National Park of Malaysia where the forest is untouched, I felt the divine connection with Gaia, similar though very much less intense and coherent to your experience, Chris. As soon as i stepped in the forest, i could feel intense positive energy reverberating, it felt very pure and sacred.
I was at the top of the canopy (canopy walk) of trees dating thousands of years old at least. I felt a sense of belonging like never before and i hugged the tree with utmost passion and love. Then I begin to picture all sorts of destruction and damage humanity have done to mother nature, and with that I seek for forgiveness and channeled that thought for humanity.
Never did I expect a respond. But i heard it. Deep within it responded with the purest of love. I was washed with an unending sense of forgiveness and unconditional eternal love. It was not in form of words nor was it from the same source of my 'voice'. I felt immense warmth from the loving embrace. It taught me the meaning of unconditional love in a flash!
It made me realize that for as long as mother earth is able to produce and support all life forms, it will continue to do so until the very essence of it depletes and diminishes.
I can resonate very strongly with: "..the whole universe speaks the universal language of synchronicity..". On many of my trips and escapades, nothing is planned out, ill-equipped and inexperienced. I knew practically nothing but where I'm headed to. And it is simply amazing how everything just falls into place, as it far exceeded any expectations.
How the rain started as soon as i got back from the waterfall and was greeted by a massive rainbow, and the people i meet are all in alignment with my beliefs. It is just too good to be of coincidence!
Anyway, this is getting too long! I'd like to extend my gratitude as i have learned so much from all your experiences, and i'm constantly reminded that I am not alone against the world, as I have the universe at my back. Let us harness the momentum of collective consciousness and spearhead the dawn of a new era!!!
