Simple Philosophy
The Openhand Philosophy can be stated very simply...

    "To liberate ourselves from controlling thought forms and distorted behaviour patterns thereby reconnecting us with our divine birth right - our soul - that we may follow our destined pathway in life, find true inner completeness and realign with the natural evolutionary flow of the Universe"

Miraculous new evolution
We live in turbulent times and yet we are truly blessed to be here witnessing and taking part in the miraculous evolution that is happening across our planet. In short, a 'quickening' is occurring where people are awakening to their spirituality and quickly unfolding into ever higher layers of consciousness; we are being reconnected with our divine birthright.

Liberation from conditioned behaviours
We live in a society that conditions us with certain limiting beliefs about reality. From the very moment of our birth we are told what to think, eat, say and do. Frequently the love we receive is conditional; we are rewarded for being "good" and chastised for being "bad". Consequently we build fixed neural pathways in the brain which generate conditioned behaviours. It is just like a river flowing freely down a mountain side but getting caught in eddy currents which collect debris. So the soul is fragmented and dissipated into our own internal eddy currents. We identify with these behaviours and form fixed beliefs and expressions - the ego - an illusionary false self for which we then build an illusionary false life.

Liberation comes by letting go of our attachment to the external drama and watching our motivations in life from the place of the Observer of ourselves. Instead of being vicitimised or manipulated by events, we observe that every moment has a natural flow to it. When we stop struggling and efforting for a particular outcome, we become more still inside and are able to align with this flow; we begin to find the lightness, acceptance and perfection through all circumstances.

If we can do this, then over time these internal eddy currents dissolve, the dissipated fragments of soul reconnect and the soul begins to take precedence in our lives once more. We find ourselves making increasingly liberated and authentic choices; our inner light strengthens and we discover boundless self acceptance, inner harmony and self love. Ultimately we ascend into a magical new paradigm - a reality founded on unconditional love which exists here and now all around us.

Benevolent Guiding Hand
We are not alone on this inner journey of unfolding. We observe through the synchronistic patterning underlying all events that the guiding hand of a Benevolent Consciousness is helping us. "Openhand" is the name we give to that consciousness. Openhand is providing vision, insight, tools and practices to help us go inwards, reconnect with our authentic source and follow our destined pathway.

Is telepathy possible?....

and if so, how does it work?
Telepathy is one of the divine skills which mankind has speculated about for eons; the ability to pick-up and transfer direct knowing from one being to another. How wonderful it would be wouldn't it? To be able to communicate directly with another beyond the limitation of words. And just think about all those saved mobile phone charges! So is telepathy possible? In my experience it most definitely is. In fact, although I don't claim to always get it right, for me it has become a way of life, something I'm working to perfect. So how can it benefit us and how can we learn to apply it? As with all matters spiritual, the key is to first move beyond all the hype, distortion and disinformation and truly understand what it is, for only then may we discover how it works...

What is karma and what is its purpose?


Heaving over life's ballast
Humanity is in the throws of a truly sensational transition. More and more people are waking up and beginning to fully release themselves from "the drama". We're breaking away the binding shackles and just like Gulliver, standing up and realising ourselves as true giants. However, its not an easy ride. To attain the lightness of being to truly launch ourselves into multi-dimensionality we have to heave over plenty of ballast. In particular, we have to process and release our karma. So what exactly is karma and what is its purpose? Here's a point of view based on my own personal experience...

Being Human

The Divine Design In spiritual circles the seven main chakras are often spoken of, but seldom do we hear about the "Seven Bodily Vehicles of Expression". It's not surprising really, since for most people at least, four of those vehicles have been closed down; we're living in a society that is taking the human out of being. In truth, we have skills, gifts and divine capacity way beyond our wildest imaginations. We can be completely at-one with an infinite, synchronistic orchestra of co-creativity; a sweet harmony of existence, so exquisite, so divine that when tasted in its fullness, nothing else will suffice. So what is the full complement of magical Human Beingness? How do we re-activate those divine gifts that are our birth right? What does it really mean to be 'Human'?...

Walking the Path


Making the choices of our higher self
Humanity's spiritual awakening is gathering at a pace. Many have awakened to the profound magic of Unity Consciousness - that cosmic energy which unites all. But what is the next step? Where do we go from there? It's all about learning to 'walk the path' by following our inner compass. So how exactly does that work? I've been consciously walking the path for several years now and encountered many who're doing the same. Here's my sharing based on those direct experiences...

Creating from Higher Mind

Mastering the ancient art of White Magic
We often speak here at Openhand about the mis-information we feel is happening in spiritual circles concerning 'manifestation'. On the one hand the beauty is that we've realised consciousness and matter are the same thing; that we shape and change matter from what we're being within. In some teachings though (most notably "The Secret"), we feel this ancient truth has been taken a step too far; trying to shape circumstances to manifest a new, apparently more desirable reality. There's simply no need to do this. Our higher selves, inline with the Divine Design, have already imagined a future far more miraculous, far more harmonious and far more loving than our lower egos could ever dream of. And all we have to do is open to Higher Mind and bring that authentic dream into reality. So how does authentic creating from Higher Mind really work? Here is a point of view from my own direct experience...

The Inner Sanctum

Finding the sanctity of profound inner peace
A few years ago, I was blessed with a truly amazing experience during meditation. I felt myself taken on an inner journey to the highest realms of vibrational consciousness. The journey was metaphored by a wonderous visual parallel which helped me dissolve deeper and deeper into awesome self acceptance. The journey led ultimately to a serene inner temple of infinite benevolence; it felt like coming home. It was not until speaking with others, that I realised this journey was open to each and every one of us should we choose to embark. So what is this Inner Temple all about, how might we access it and how can it help us on our continued journey?...

These are the times we've been waiting for


The Unseen reveals its hand
So it's here. Something we've been talking about here at Openhand for quite some time. Global recession. Share prices dissolving, house values plummeting, economies contracting. Ever since the Titanic sank at the end of the Industrial Revolution, just as the Twin Trade Towers collapsed into dust, we've been warned about it. So as my house price crumbles, am I sitting in fear? No. This is meant to happen. This is perfection. The unseen is playing its hand. These are the times we've been waiting for...

Soul Mates and Twin Flames

Birds of a feather or feathers off the same bird?
We've been receiving many questions of late concerning the subject of soul mates. It seems many are out to find their "ideal" partner in life. So what's it all about? Do we meet on a dreamy white cloud and sail off into an eternal sunset whilst cherubims play their sweet soul music? Or is there a bit more to it than that? Both Trinity and myself are soul mates who have joined in union in this incarnation to help one another. We felt compelled to write this joint article which you might like to read if the subject interests you...

Essential questions on Ascension

A new dawn
We stand at the dawn of a miraculous new evolution for mankind. Our planetary system is moving to a higher vibrational reality - one founded on unconditional love, joy and mutual respect for all life. In our view, the Soul of the Earth, a vastly more evolved being than ourselves has ascended. What exactly does this mean? How does it effect you? Here are some essential questions on Ascension which frequently get asked...

The Ascension Process


Are you undergoing the process of Ascension?
Throughout spiritual circles across the planet right now there is much talk of our 'Ascension' into a higher vibrational paradigm which exists here and now all around us. What exactly is this all about? Are you beginning to ascend? What is the process of Ascension we tend to go through? The following article addresses these questions...
