When we made the film we had no particular agenda; there was simply an energy around it that was 'brewing up'. So in many ways we have equally been digesting its many varied meanings and guidances.

To me, the over-riding significance is to draw attention to the fact that we are going through a major earth transition. Nothing new about that you might say, there are many speaking of the difficult issues we're currently facing. However I think where the film is different, is that it asks the question "is it all meant to happen?"

When I look at the world through a multi-dimensional perspective, I see that every event and circumstance taking place holds a deeper more significant message - no one thing is separate from another. We are witnessing the unfolding of a story - that of our Ascension.

In my view, the key for lightworkers is not to get sucked into the external drama and in particular trying to "heal Mother Earth's woes". Why would I say this? Because I feel that Ascension is Mother Earth's healing - she is shaking off an old skin so to speak.

It seems to me that we have grown so out of sync with the natural flow of the universe and our at-one-ment with all life that some major upheaval is necessary to cause people to stop, disengage from attachment to the external drama and really explore who they are.

It is not that Mother Earth is creating this upheaval, it is mankind's resistance to the message speaking all around us - well we can no longer ignore that message, increasingly we will all be effected by it.

However to me it is most definitely not a cause to become negative or disheartened. In fact quite the opposite. For centuries it seems people have been praying to God, asking for a solution to society's madness. Well to me, those prayers are being answered right now...

only to learn that it is God who is shaking them."

We are being afforded a miraculous opportunity - a chance to break the energetic stranglehold that is society's Matrix of mass human subconsciousness.

In the years that come - beginning right now - I see the Matrix shattering and being infused with light. However, we won't see that light through our 3rd dimensional eyes; we will see it through our 5th dimensional ones, those that see the miraculous weave - the synchronicity - of higher Benevolent Consciousness...

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."

One of the key messages of the film is that the path of our Ascension is to 'continually attune to the light'. That in each moment we have this choice. So what exactly do we mean by this. In a recent Openhand Journal entry, I wrote this piece called "Attuning to the Light". Since it is one of the central themes of the film, I thought I'd include it here...

What does it mean to "attune to the lightness" in life?
There's no disguising the fact that we are moving into difficult times of great transition. What with global warming, the financial credit crunch and the "war on terror", there's no shortage of darkness around us. Here at Openhand we often speak of the importance of "attuning to the light". What exactly does that mean? Does it mean ignoring the darkness all together and focussing only on the light? Well not exactly...

Black and white choices
We believe that the entirety of the Universe is configured from two types of consciousness. "Separation Consciousness" is a flow of energy that created the notion of separation from the "One Life" through multiplicity of form which arose into being at the Big Bang. It is that flow of energy that takes us to ever increasing dis-order, dis-ease and separation from the source. Quantum science calls it an "increase in positive entropy".

On the other hand, since everything came from nothing, this outwards flow of Separation Consciousness must be balanced by the opposite inwards flow - what we might call "Unity Consciousness". It is that driving force which takes us to ever higher degrees of order, ease and harmony with all life. Quantum science calls it an increase in "negative" entropy, something we all know as "unconditional love".

In our model of consciousness, the human body (more accurately the 7 vehicles of bodily expression) are formed from this Separation Connsciousness and the soul is our unique expression of unity consciousness.

So our bodily vehicles of expression are intimately engaged with the whole notion of separation. Without this, we could have no experience at all for to know unity, we must also know separation. In other words there must be one thing relative to another for there to be an experience.

So to avoid the Separation Consciousness and all that arises from it is to be in a place of denial. We see this happening seemingly in some spiritual teachings - there is complete focus on what is regarded as the "light". In so doing, it is our view that we remove ourselves from authentic reality.

However our authentic expression is that of the soul which is an expression of unity - of the light. It is known by transcending the separation - the dark. So to us, every moment offers a choice. We see the darkness and acknowledge it, but find the path, through, around or over it in order to find the light and experience that.

If you are mountain biking down a hill and want to find the path around the obstacles, you don't ignore the obstacles! But neither do you focus on them - we instead focus on the path between them. At Openhand, this is what we mean by "attuning to the light".

Love and lightness
