I was in the Natural History Museum in London earlier this year, fascinated by the displays on climate shift through the history of this planet. I am not a scientist, but I couldn't help but notice that it didn't look like we were due another radical shift so soon. Given that this planet is plastered with human activity that consistently defies nature, it's something that many of us have long since suspected. The evidence of 'human induced climate change' is now so compelling that a survey of thousands of peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals has found 97.1% agreed that climate change is caused by human activity. I found this article (below) in the Guardian Newspaper today, along with this informative 2 minute video...

"How I lived by spending nothing for two years"
An inspirational look at alternative ways of living, transcending the need for money and the 'system' that enslaves us. To me this is not just something for people who have no money, but rather an invitation for us all to look at how we are dependent on the system. If we even embrace some of these things, then we can real get an experiential sense of the cycle of life and the divine flow of unity consciousness.

Here's a great little video which is entitled "Delcalcification of the Pineal Gland". It contains some really great advice on achieving peak spiritual states as an every day experience by inner purification. I'm not sure I agree it's about the decalcification of just the pineal gland, I would say it's much more wide ranging throughout the various layers of the bodymind. However the advice aligns very well with what Openhand is putting forwards. Enjoy the video, its very informative...

I just came across this quite alarming report in the UK's Independent about how the acidification of the Arctic Ocean is happening at a much faster rate than previously thought. It's caused of course by the increasing atmospheric CO2 which warms the ice, melts it, then is absorbed into the ocean. It's resulting in the destruction of the delicate balance of the eco-systems. I share the story not to spread fear. As always, it's to cause people to confront the truth about what's really happening. If it generates inner tightness, we must work to accept it, and then allow an expansion of consciousness through it to inspire appropriate Right Action. It builds an accurate picture of authentic reality, thus giving the soul the possibility to respond to the full landscape...

It's a pleasing development that growth of Fairtrade goods sales is accelerating, despite economic slowdown in various countries around the world. According to the Fairtrade Foundation, sales of ethical goods have increased by 19% in the UK despite economic recession. To me I find that incredibly positive - it would seem to demonstrate a definite increase in conscious consumerism...

There is a growing impetus for "disclosure" of the ET involvement here on Earth. There's reams of evidence that's been covered up due to covert agendas by various secretive groups. Well now it would seem the lid is beginning to lift, with a couple of key movies coming to light. "Sirius" by Dr Steven Greer is about his comprehensive 20 year investigation and personal commitment to understanding the whole ET phenomenon. And there's also "The Day Before Disclosure" which has been out a while, but is probably the most comprehensive, providing an exhaustive array of evidence and information. Understanding the intervention and how it works is a crucial part of our liberation and Ascension...

We've spoken consistently here at Openhand of the need for us all to grow our own food or at least to be involved in that in some way. As the food chain becomes increasingly stretched, as GMO is increasingly sewn, it's essential that we have access to healthy organic produce. That's why I'm so inspired by this story about "Guerilla Gardener" Ron Finley from LA, who spends his time greening inner city land and motivating especially kids to grow their own. It's an uplifting, heart-warming story...

There's two competing theories for how humanity populated the earth: there's the 'Out of Africa' theory where we all dispersed from southern Africa; and there's the 'multi-regional' approach, where we sprang up simultaneously in different places. I've always felt that it was a combination of both. I'd say this fascinating new evidence gives a degree of support to my view...

People of the Earth deserve to be able to live their lives in harmony with Gaia. There are so many indigenous tribes across the world who lives are in imminent danger. Many are murdered, forced off the land and left in a strange world that they do not understand. I am not sure if the Awa tribe of Brazil are actually the MOST threatened tribe, but they are in inescapable danger of being wiped off the face of this sacred earth.

A current trip to the US has coincided with the tragic turn of events in Boston. I feel deeply for the families of the injured and bereaved. Travelling across the south, my heart is opening ever deeper to the warm heartedness and friendliness of the American people. Slightly unexpectedly, I'm tasting everything that is good about the "American Dream".
