5D Shift: Aligning Your Focus and Orientation in Planetary Transformation

Submitted by Open on Sun, 03/06/2016 - 07:20


The accelerating shift is driving everything that's happening on our planet right now, including the shadow's ever shape-shifting attempts to control it, with first this drama and then that. It's easy to get drawn in, as you feel compassion for the innocents caught up in it. This is where we need to be crystal clear on our focus and orientation through this great planetary transformation that's unfolding.

Infinite Creative Potential Exists Inside You

To understand our aligned orientation we must recognise the bigger picture that's driving everything. Let's recap: at the big bang the universe exploded into being and unleashed flows of consciousness, like ripples on a pond. It was done without intention - or else who had the intention and where did the 'creator' come from? It just happened. And that creative potential and movement still exist inside of you. It is who you are, constantly being actualised into form.

When you let go of the need to control life, the release steadily unwinds you, taking you on a Journey of Enlightenment where ultimately you become The One, inside of yourself; you lose attachment to identity, it feels like no one is here. The divine paradox is, that in touching this void of nothingness, you simultaneously realise the infinite potential of The One - the unlimited creative possibility that caused the bigbang. Your soul then writes a story - a flow - which is divinely and uniquely yours.

This 'Enlightenment' is not the end of the story. It is only the beginning of the authentic one. You then begin to recognise sense of purpose, unveiled as divine service to the whole. It is only when you let go of the life you thought you were creating, the real work and the real service come gloriously into view.

So how do you live that here and now? How do unfold your real life-story?

You are a Divine Paradox

In this big explosion of consciousness - the big bang - you have essentially two contrasting flows creating relativity: one outwards forming the multiplicity of separation consciousness, and the other inwards, reconnecting with the source - like the undertow on a pond. These relativistic flows create the miraculous awareness of life experience. However, in many places, unity consciousness gets stuck within the separation consciousness creating eddy currents. It's where the universe becomes convoluted and distorted.

It is this convolution that the shadowside of the Universe, and in society, tries to hang onto and control. The Black Snake energy, for example, cannot let go of the creations it originally crystallised from the quantum soup - it twists and turns, deceives and delludes, so as to maintain control. Although it will all ultimately fail.

The Law of Attraction draws streams of Unity Consciousness - as souls - into these convolutions to expose and illuminate them. We each incarnate into these whirlpools of distortion so as to bring realignment by finding the light and forging soul through them. But you do have to focus on your shadow to bring this about! It helps enormously to have a working understanding of the Torus - that which truly drives the bigger picture.

The Universal Torus - The Big Apple

Science and spirituality are now beginning to converge on a working model of the universe called "The Torus". Essentially the big bang is now drawing into a form of interrelating flows of consciousness - a good depiction of which is contained in the video below. Consider the golden light as Unity Consciousness and the blue as Separation Consciousness. One way to appreciate the Torus in its outer form would be as a continually vibrating and pulsing apple - a "Big Apple"! This Torus possesses the Void of the One - infinite potential running down through the core. Rotating torsional force flows into the Void.

Naturally working to unravel discord

Within this depiction, souls are streams of the flowing light. But the Torus is not yet fully formed. It's not yet perfected with balanced harmony in all places. That's where you and I come in. Where the soul is not self-realised - not realising of the One 'Torus' Self - identities are created. These identities cause friction and disharmony in the flow, felt within us as pain, frustration, tightness, anger, worry, fear etc, etc, etc.

This disharmony and discrepancy in the macocosym crystallises as distorted, karmic realities in order to work them through. Such as what we're witnessing on earth right now where the soul of humanity is working to release itself from unconsciousness that has been projected outwards into society as loss of sovereignty and thereby being controlled.

The universe, of its own natural accord, by its own natural mechanism, is working to unravel that. The energies are working towards a balanced torus - harmony in all places, what some call 'nirvana'. And this happens by each individual soul incarnating as a cell of the bigger picture within that dynamic. Each is working to bring a spark of light to break down the darkness of the karmic construct.

Here is a depiction of the torus with both the microcosym of a man (connecting through the chakras) into the macrocosym of the universal torus...

Coming into Universal Alignment

I put it to you that you will be most aligned, most in the flow, and most within internal harmony when you're aligned with this macrocosym - it's an entirely natural movement back to the core - Ascension - which just feels 'right'.

To experience this movement Torus of energy is to keep opening the chakras to allow this universal consciousness to flow into and through you. Then observe its 'pull' guiding you through life. It's so sophisticated you can even experience it walking in town or in the supermarket. The flow exists everywhere!

What I observe, is that if there's any separation from this, an identity forms, which then hurts - specifically because it feels like dissonance from your destiny. But if that which is separate - ego - lets go and chooses to flow with the mainstream of one's soul, you ultimately come into alignment with the entirety, inside yourself. And it feels simply 'right'.

Living the Torus in Daily Life - A Spiritual Compass

The question is, how do you make use of this the whole time?

Essentially you open up to the flow of the mainstream of soul, felt as a sense of 'rightness': this is how to express now, and from that, this is the way to go now. It's felt as the landing of higher knowing or a pull through the heart.

1) As you follow this movement more and more, you'll hit 'choke points', where identity switches you off, gets stuck, or gets confused into thinking you must have or do something particular within the 'matrix'.

2) you realise these chokes points are not about the practical outcome of them. Rather they are about unravelling the pain of identity and false self within them. Paradoxically, as you do this, new more aligned outcomes happen that lead you to greater harmony in life.

3) As you wind out of the choke points caused by identity, you're looking for the real gold in the situation, which is the new element of soul that wants to now come through. This is the real 'game changer'. Life and the Torus is all about the integration of this Unity consciousness. So you're now looking for the new aspect of beingness that wants to come through.

4) You embody and express this new beingness, then reality transforms around you, progressively, step by step in all your life's circumstances, from relationships to jobs and general living circumstances.

Setting Your Compass for Correct Orientation

Following this alignment described in the four steps above won't necessarily make life easy, but it will forge the soul and you will find the best pathway through life's turmoil on the planet. It'll feel like sailing through a storm, but in a resilient way, and with the clear sense that you're aligned with the bigger picture - the one that's really moving things.

My encouragement to you reading is to beware of the purposeful distraction out there in society right now and to be really clear where your orientation and focus are. That way, as things topple around you, you'll still come through shining and successful.

12/11/2024 Orientation in the Shift

In the aftermath of the US election, we've spoken about the Openhand belief/feeling that the field is now more open for change to happen. But crucially, that doesn't mean it's going to happen for you. You have to seize the opportunity for change.

The question is: how to best orientate your being for change? How to find the right direction?

That's what my article is about today, which I'm sharing for your review above. It's about your internal navigation system - your process. What I'm inquiring with you is, how do you make the choices you do in any given day? How does each moment begin?

Does it begin from an intention to get something done?
Is it some kind of automated programming?
Or is it because there's compulsion to do something because of concern for the outcome if you don't?

All of these are doing-led impulses, as opposed to being-led. And they all lead to a lesser, unfulfilled life.

Instead, can you learn how to orientate each moment to come from beingness - to anchor in your sacred ground of being, then allow the authentic sense of self to present into the moment?

Now you're beginning to co-create from the quantum field, because you're unleashing soul into the dynamic. That's going to be increasingly alchemical. You're create and shape the moment in unpredicted, magical and inspirational ways. Your life can't help but progressively transform.

Especially take ownership in interactions with other people - where you trigger, get frustrated or angry. These are YOUR issues! Yes, they'll have their distortions too. But the responsibility, and the great opportunity, is not to project at them, but take ownership of your triggering. Because in these contractions are nuggets of soul gold waiting to be dug up. Feel into them. Ask: what am I attached to? Why do I need the other to be a particular way? Why do I need to be respected by them - can I respect myself instead?

The self-inquiry mechanism gives you massive power in the moment. Because now you can change the patterning of the dynamic. It puts you in the driving seat!

So do review my article featured today, and do get back with any responses or inquiries about it.

Hey O, 

Well its crazy on the east coast of Aus. Very challenging times indeed. So many towns under water, people sitting on roofs waiting for rescue, many people sick and displaced, animals stranded, putrid water everywhere. Supplies extrmely limited as so many shops and roads flooded. Its just so sad.

I am rationing the supplies I do have,  as landslides have hemmed us in, in my wee town. I am glad I have got to 2 meals a day mostly, so that helps make it last longer as I dont know when we will get the food supply chain happening again.

I am lucky as I still have my house which I am so grateful for, unlike thousands of others who have only their lives and maybe a pet or 2.

Its just like a war! I suppose it is a war in a way! The amazing thing is seeing how all the peeps in communities are pulling together, truly heartwarming.❀

It is so hard not to feel panicky at times to be honest. I am trying to cling to the mast and work through these very intense feelings. I just realized that it comes down to TRUSTING IN THE DIVINE which came up on the last retreat. ha ha! 

I am sooo grateful for this community. 

Much love

We're right there with you in the floods Zee 🧑
In many ways, a great flood is coming into all our lives. It has already begun and will effect us each in different ways.
This is why I felt it so important to journey and meditate people through these great cycles, like Atlantis for example.
It's high time to prepare our consciousness so we can ride these physical changes - we are NOT physical!!

Awesome response Zee. We're right there with you. Keep unravelling through what materialises.

Much love and bright blessings

Hi Erin,

Just reaching out up to you - we are east coast Aus also- and so far out of flood zones, but seeing and hearing of those all up the coast.

Saying hello to you, as you are in the same land mass over here in Australia and nice to see another 'local' as I read the posts to regain perspective on the non-stop 'events'.

Love and blessings :)

L.

Hey L, Thanks  for reaching out much appreciated. Full on times ay! 

I am grateful I wasn't right in the flood zone, we only had some land slippage out my way but still cut off from town. At least there is a small village that has limited supplies. Alot more than the poor people in Lismore and surrounds. 

My heart feels for all the survivors, alot of processing to be done with it all. 

The most beautiful  thing is seeing how the community is pulling together, awe inspiring indeed! 

Thanks again for reaching out.

Namaste

Hey Open!

I have a couple questions ...I would like to say also that there has been an enormous amount of energy on the level of mind...this is atypical for me, and in many ways very healthy feeling/integrative.

 I feel confounded by the words "your soul" - who's soul? who has a soul? I am not trying to pick apart words...I realize we use some to just get across the point...I get the sense that often an identity is claiming to have a soul and that this identity needs to do this or that to express their soul. This feels ever more mechanical and self manipulative. If there is only One being, and that is what all is, then no "person" has a soul...and the thing called person is a collection of identities it seems...whereas a soul is a natural flow of expression of the One (not of the person). 

So then, the only thing the person/identity can do is surrender into the sacred ground of being and allow natural unfoldment of the One as a flow (Soul). I suppose I could say the One flows as soul(s). And so also each moment is an opportunity for the energy that is bound up as an identity to not play out its old patterns (or do play them out) feel through the triggers etc...and come into the sense of the One over and over and over...from which Soul flows...as long as identity doesn't step back in and distort it....which is fine...just keep working through (though I still don't get who is working through??)

It's a beautiful inquiry Jen and I commend all to read it carefully. Because it pertains to the steady destruction of identity.

It starts with the ego of course, where there is the sense of a separated identity. And this builds a complex convolution of inner programs that often work unconsciously. You have to be challenging every motivation and action in order to break past it - even the question, "why would I want to?" Particularly as it means the death of the ego.

Ultimately there's realisation that there's nowhere else to go - and so there's surrender. But surrender to what? The soul is not an identity, but the remnants of ego often build a spiritual identity around it. And you're right to question the phrase: "my soul". Whose soul? The soul takes centre stream, and you are being that. I say you are "being" that because you are NOT that. You have become the Seer experiencing as an individual soul.

So who is steering in the direction of soul? It depends on the level of soul integration. After realignment, GATEWAY2, the balance of consciousness shifts in favour of the mainstream of soul. But there's still the density of ego to breakthrough. At realignment there is surrender to the soul, and so the shadow aspect of self realises it's time to let go. So this would be the part, which recognising its separation, then steers in the direction of the soul.

Later on, when the ego has more or less completely gone and only fragments remain, the question then is, 'who' now is guiding the show? How does that happen if there's no identity? Well, there still is personality, which we may call the soul-ray-harmonic, that plays in a particular way in given circumstances depending on the individual harmony. Within that is the ray 3, the interpreter, which naturally picks up the flow, interprets the flow of events through synchronicity, and attunes the sense of direction that's being channeled and guided. It's the antenna so to speak.

This is why I often use the surfer analogy. The surfer is not directing the wave. But an aspect of his consciousness is attuning to the wave. The better the surfer, the less methodical this is and the more intuitive.

It's utterly miraculous!

Thank you so much Open - there is so much here that rings bells and inspires a deeper exploration.

Primarily, I feel the absolute depth, beauty and comprehensive nature of the Openhand philosophy...how it so beautifully and eloquently shines light on the threads of truth within the many spiritual disciplines ... I am realizing just how precise and nuanced this is... at every point there is a sense of truth that can be realized and then continuously deepened....I am feeling so much gratitude for the beauty of Openhand's reflection. Praying Emoji

Secondly, I feel how beautiful it is that the truth meets us where our consciousness is and invites the next step of unravelling...it's not all at once (maybe sometimes it is)...in this there is an amazing invitation to be fully in the experience one is in...and the perception one has at this moment. Even if one is in a  struggle to, berating oneself to, pushing oneself to do something, get it right etc...there is the welcoming of all that is stirring inside...all these energies...and to not need to do anything about them - just welcome all that is constellating right now without any need to fix it or fix oneself...yet be conscious in it...attentive and feeling all that is arising and shaping and squeezing and tightening...and work through it ...I see it like a tailor who is threading the needle through the density of material and then back out again...over and over. 

At the moment, I am perceiving that, although it is the movement of unity consciousness as the Soul that is creating the unravelling, it seems to engage the ego through the feelings of dissatisfaction/depression/anxiety/existential crisis...it seems that the ego "agrees" to go along with the Soul as the ego/sense of self perceives there will be relief for itself, that what ails the person mentally, emotionally and physically will be fixed by becoming itself enlightened. I feel love for this process, this experience, compassion for the suffering that is being experienced and joy at the potential within it.  I imagine this is why when it is seen that the ego will not get what it wants out of the process, there is a sense of manipulation and upset that gets pointed at whatever seemed to be promising the ego's new riches (that may be oneself or an outside figure). And at the same time I hear these words...it was never for you (the collection of identities taken as me)...it was never a crown you could wear upon your head...though I feel that many of the practices that one might engage in to open to soul's movement will benefit the well being of the person (collection of identities) - I certainly have found a much greater degree of peace and well being simply through knowing that all of the machinations that go on are not essential to who I am. There has been a gradual settling down of the identities' machinations. And yet the shadow element eventually yields to the Soul...how beautiful it is that the shadow element itself surrenders to the majesty of the Soul. 

You said..."Later on, when the ego has more or less completely gone and only fragments remain, the question then is, 'who' now is guiding the show? How does that happen if there's no identity? Well, there still is personality, which we may call the soul-ray-harmonic, that plays in a particular way in given circumstances depending on the individual harmony. Within that is the ray 3, the interpreter, which naturally picks up the flow, interprets the flow of events through synchronicity, and attunes the sense of direction that's being channeled and guided. It's the antenna so to speak."

This spikes very strongly for me...distortions of ray 3 are often spinning me in circles of self-doubt and second guessing - always presenting a million possibilities (perhaps that has something to do with the third eye as well)?  And yet I feel some sort of joy at the way ray 3 operates ...I recognize elements of its aligned expression. 

Thanks so much for this incredible exploration and reflection!!!

It's a rich and deep inquiry for sure Jen. Of itself, it will take you all the way. Because above all else, the various machinations of identity etc, you're honing the unravelling mechanism. That's the key: in any given moment you're unravelling through so as to reveal the soul - then actualising that.

 As we actualise soul, we don't have to worry about who we are. Because who we truly are, then materialises in the background. My sense and belief is that this is the ONLY way it can happen (although I know it's dangerous to say ONLY!!). The One renders itself. Providing then an aspect of the soul is looking into the One, you will experience it, effortlessly riding the board. It's superlative! πŸ„β€β™€οΈ

If you're finding the continual questioning of the ray 3 unsettling, then look for some stabilisation. The third eye could well help, because that's about centering in beingness and also it will provide visions of future-landing-now. So the ray 3 is not telling you what to do as such, it's noticing what is already crystallising and stepping into that. With each of the rays you'll realise there's a fine line between accurate expression and distortion. That's the line to attune.

Isn't it miraculous!!

01/03/2022 Journal Update:

In todays post, I felt to feature an insight into the Universal Torus and how it applies to daily life in the current transformation. Although it might seem a touch 'left-brained' in contemplating it, you cannot overstate the importance of activating a free flowing torus through your life. In fact it's clear the ancients have expressed this to us as the 'flower of life'...

So how is this relevant and applicable to you in daily life?

When the flow is working for you it's because you've unleashed kundalini and this is connecting through you like a circuit back to the source. Now the flow is speaking into your being and guiding how to be, and from that, how to act. The soul begins to express itself freely through you and this becomes incredibly alchemical because you're becoming an active co-creator in life.

If you ever get stuck in your life you could try this approach...

Inhale into the experience. And with that regress into the feelings and visions of the limiting experience. Become intimate with it and 'blow it up' into your immediate environment. Now explore what you were attached to? How did your ego need it to go a certain way? Work to let go of that by knowing yourself as the infinite source. Now as you exhale, express free flowing soul and visualise/feel a new aligned reality crystallising around you. Voila. You're now a conscious creator with the universal torus!

So today I encourage all to work with this meditation to unleash the majesty of toroidal flow in your life. And do share in commentary below what you feel about the sense of the torus and how it works for you?

I'm often asked what relevance does the Universal Torus have with Active Kundalini?

I would say they are one and the same thing.

You don't really feel the Torus until the soul starts to liberate itself from fragmentation in the ego. After which, you realign to becoming the mainstream of soul, which happens at Gateway 2 in the 5Gateways route-map. Now the soul starts to flow within you and you are progressively becoming that flow. It will have many blockages to work through on the journey to full kundalini activation (which happens at Gateway 3). Once this happens, kundalini activation fully unleashes the Toroidal Flow (although karma now needs to be worked with too... Gateway 4). Progressively you are unleashing this Toroidal Flow through activating kundalini. It now creates freely from the source through you and out into your life.

Thank you, Open.  I realize that I do a very good job of inhaling into the experience and I can sit in the feelings and visions of the uncomfortable.  Your questions are helpful and I can usually get to that part on my own as well. Exploring the attachment. Even animating when I am in a good state of going for the gold.  Most of the time I find myself doing an eagle's point of view fly-over with Tilly's voice asking me, "But why? What can really happen that is so bad if you just give in to the resistance, Gwyn?" Kiss And I let go...

BUT, I have been forgetting the most important part once I have swam around and waded deeply in the emotions--exhale, express and visualize a new reality!!  I am a visual person and you have now brought an image to remind be of the last step.

The flower of life is the sacred geometry of crystalized creation. WIN WIN WIN Heart

As for the toroidal flow, I feel I am now getting to know the cobwebs and the shadows you have spoken about in Gateways, the imposters showing up with their distortion in subtle ways. There is more discernment and really listening to ME. Less static or the static is so obvious these days.

The more challenging part is not getting hoodwinked by the shadow identities. What is really happening, all those fingers pointed outwardly have shifted inwardly. I am no longer "really" blaming others, circumstances, myself, etc.  Compassion has settled in and I am looking for the reflection from others instead of turning it back at them. I do appreciate listening to myself babble on a bit when I do get stuck, reminding me there is more to look at. I can see it when I am sharing here sometimes. LOL! I am getting to know these characters--false prophet, controller, questioner, dissolver, absolutist, pacifist and teacher.  I love to express and share--now I am asking which one of these gals is trying to override me on occasion.  AND I am giving myself a lot of freedom to be.

You're doing great Gwyn - keep digging and keep exploring πŸ‘

I picked out this part you said...

BUT, I have been forgetting the most important part once I have swam around and waded deeply in the emotions--exhale, express and visualize a new reality!!  I am a visual person and you have now brought an image to remind be of the last step.

Just to be clear, when you're 'swimming around in the density', the most crucial thing is to surrender in, without needing to change it. It's to work to become as one with the situation and thereby becoming The One in it. From that empowered place, then visioning may naturally happen and come. Otherwise it might be a feeling through the heart to express in a particular way and to take a particular step.

Today's article captures the point but from another perspective...

As I was walking in the wetlands this morning, I was asking myself about the word β€œcollaboration.”  I seem to be so fixated on this possibility or way of being. In my greatest expression of myself I seem to always be looking for ways to collaborate with others.  The pull, the magnetic attraction, to be in the presence of others creating together is enormous for meβ€”it has always been an essential part of me.
