Accurate Soul Choices: Crucial Time To Be Clear of Your Pathway Through Life
We're sailing through the major inflexion point of the Shift, where the old paradigm begins to buckle and break, whilst the new emerges from the failing density of the old. It's confusing, because we're caught in a mish-mash of old and new. The ways we've previously created opportunity in the old world still exist, a while longer. But what is imperative right now, is that we walk the path of the soul, and manifest pathways of light through the collapsing old construct. Nothing could be more essential and worthwhile to embody.
Decision Point in the Shift
I'll go as far as to say: Accuracy of your path, and authentic soul choices in life, have never been more essential than ever before in human history.
That's because we've reached the inflexion point, where all spurious, intentional and intervention-induced timeline bubbles are set to be unwound and collapse in the Great Shift to 5D/6D/7D. This is decision point in The Shift, where our daily choices are set to determine the path we ultimately follow: whether to be liberated from the Intervention once and for all; or else have it still loom over consciousness for future incarnations.
It's convoluted out there right now. The shadow has been pushed onto the back foot by concerted benevolent action in recent years. It's created welcome space for souls committed to emergent action. However, the pathways of light are not immediately obvious, if one is simply looking through 3D eyes. The constantly reconfiguring intervention is intentionally muddying the waters through escalating distraction and diversion - just look at what masquerades as 'truth' in the media these days, and the absolute bombardment to the senses.
We must be extremely careful to protect the coherency of our consciousness, to regularly purify, detox and simplify. We must work hard, on a daily basis, to keep our chakra system open and attuned, so as to perceive accurate inflows of higher-dimensional light.

Deep, Unfathomable Silence
When considering the 3D landscape right now, the problem appears to be that the Shadow Intervention still owns all the resources, and is constantly doubling down its efforts for total dominion - Digital ID cards, and what they lead to, are the next round in the ongoing attempts to lock consciousness down.
What we must understand and appreciate, however, is that this is mostly perception-based. The Matrix, although a distortion of reality, is only a crystallisation of the natural quantum field. It's locking it down, yes, but nevertheless, authentic energies of the field are constantly flowing in, and through, the Matrix. This inflow is getting stronger by the day within the Shift. Especially now, as the planetary energies accelerate toward the higher vibration.

How Do You Create Your Reality?
Essentially, there are two ways you can create reality: 1) The way of the Matrix, whereby you're still making conditioned choices and living programmed lifestyles just to make ends meet; 2) Tuning into the soul, which is downloading energies of the New Paradigm, that create new opening pathways and opportunities - manifesting from the quantum field.
The Matrix would intentionally draw you into programmed, doing-led actions and choices, which intentionally denude the being of infusing soul. In case you hadn't already realised it, the Shadow is amidst a wide-sweeping 'rug-pull' - a reset of the energy and resource supply chains, and in particular, the financial system. By building complexity and uncertainty in the emotional psyche, people tend to hunker down in fear and poverty consciousness - that's the point: just like the bogus covid pandemic, the system takes people intentionally into fear, by which they can be controlled.
The latest round of fear-mongering is leveraged on poverty consciousness - the fear that we won't have enough. And so, like the proverbial mice on spinning wheels, people willingly hand over sovereignty and are suckered into impoverished lifestyles. When, in actual fact, the world is absolutely awash with resources.
The question is: How to ensure our actions, choices and direction in life are supported by the benevolent hand of the Universe?

Tuning Into Your Soul
What's essential right now, is that you must know how to tune into your soul and to come from it, in all of the daily activities you undertake. Even if you're working in a 'dead-end' job, it matters not, provided you are always coming from authentic beingness. If you are constantly opening to the soul in whatever activities you undertake, then you're going to channel aligned consciousness into your life from the emergent Shift - whereupon, the energies of the Old Paradigm are now progressively unwinding into.
What this means, is that your landscape is going to shape and change in a different way. Maybe you'll manifest better pay and conditions in the role you currently have? Maybe, from a place of greater sovereignty and self-respect, you'll be able to negotiate more free time to follow your genuine passion?
What is certain, is that new opportunities and pathways are abound, even amongst the obscuring clouds of the failing 3D/4D construct.
We must be certain NOT to continually get hoodwinked and pulled into the consciousness of the Old Paradigm - the old way of doing and creating.

How do you best follow the soul in day-to-day life?
Here at Openhand, we apply a process called "Openway". To be clear, it's not trying to instruct people to live this way or that; rather, it is a framework for inquiry, in the moment, to unleash your authentic pathway of the Soul.
Openway - An Approach to Authentic Soul-led Choices in Life
Put simply, it can be described in three steps, for any given moment:
1) Open into the Mainstream of Soul
2) Break through Blockages
3) Actualise Authentic Beingness
'Open into the Mainstream of Soul' - soften through small “I” identity; tune into the mainstream of the soul and begin to follow it.
Through breathing, meditation and keen internal observation, you begin to soften identification with the small “I” identity, felt as tightness throughout the bodymind. You begin to pick up, and attune to, the subtle vibrations of the soul, often felt as expansiveness, timelessness, joy, peace, interconnectivity and unconditional love. Completely accept that the purpose of each and every moment is self-realisation and actualisation. Therefore, relinquish the need for any particular outcome, or any resistance to the natural flow of the moment. Thus, you start to connect up to the soul’s mainstream, which begins to speak through you as an inner pull to act or the landing of Higher Self intuitions. Increase the integration of soul by following these impulses as much as possible.
'Break through Blockages' - confront and unwind activating blockages; integrate fragments of soul releasing from the density.
As you increasingly attune to the mainstream of the soul within, subconscious blockages, tightness and karmic trauma are activated, felt as constriction, tightness and source pain. Become as-one with these experiences by completely honouring and expressing them. Work to realise either as a knowing or feeling, what the limitation was all about. Accept them to the extent that you don’t need them to go away. Once fully accepted, use breathing, movement, visualisations and emotive music to unwind the inner restrictions. Allow the fragment of soul to integrate by feeling your completeness in the situation.
'Actualise Authentic Beingness' - soften through tightness into pure presence; unleash ever more authentic qualities of soul and step into Right Action.
By opening through blockages and source pain, you expand into the tightness they generate, dissolve them and begin to access the 'void' – a crystal-clear place of pure presence in the background of activity – our True Self. It feels like infinite peace and acceptance – awesome okayness, pure “isness”. From the infinite potential of pure presence, authentic beingness will simply arise. Attune deeply to these feelings by applying yourself to full energetic, mental, emotional and physical expression of this naturally arising beingness. Give yourself completely to “Right Action” – a sense of ‘rightness’, which is totally aligned with the natural flow of the universe, leading to resilient, fulfilling, successful and joyful living.
Although simply stated, this takes a high degree of commitment and application to master. But for anyone consciously engaged in something like this Openway approach, they will break through the constricting density of the convoluted situations and channel the light of the soul through. Life will transform as a result - in ways the ego could not previously have imagined.
Your Orientation in Life
Now is NOT the time for idly sitting on the fence of your soul's journey! Having one foot in, and one foot out, is actually becoming an unstable and dangerous occupation - anyone who feels the soul activating in their life, is going to be less and less effective at creating in the old ways; and, if you're not fully committed to the path of the soul, then the risk is to be caught in 'no-man's-land'. You get pulled in conflicting ways, where neither is effective.
As I've explained in detail in the book 5GATEWAYS, the Great Realignment of Gateway 2 is summoning us onto the path of soul emergence in the Shift. And the most productive thing we can do right now, is get off the fence and into our evolutionary home-coming (a new, remastered version of 5GATEWAYS is due for release on 2/2/2026).
It happens by applying the constant conscious choice: you're using something like Openway to always connect into, and come from, the soul.
Even if you make mistakes (and you'll make plenty!), that matters not. What matters is your genuine commitment to this self-actualisation process. Because the Universe, with all its resources, guidance and support, is actively willing you on.
For everyone who steps into the path of their self-actualisation, they will be met by the Universe supporting you - pathways of golden light will form beneath your feet!
Time To Take Centre Stream
In conclusion, now is NOT the time to continue to sit on the fence and vacillate with your evolutionary process. The shadow is intentionally wrapping people up in knots with ever-greater technological complexity and social media distraction - none of which is going to help you tune into your soul.
Get to know the vibrational signature of your soul - how does it speak and inform through you when you notice it? And, if you don't yet know how, take plenty of time out to discover it. In a world that is becoming increasingly controlled through the intentional manipulation of resources, nothing could be more valuable to our journey. You'll find you'll be able to punch gaping holes through the Matrix Simulation, and infuse the light of the divine through it. Your life will be supported by miracles and magic.
But to live all the time like this, and not get battered by the banks of life, is to dive into the centre stream of your immaculate soul's journey. Now is the time to discover and decide. You'll be amazed at what you can create - as if from thin air!
If you feel compelled to get off the fence in the Shift and learn to follow your soul more accurately, then explore the evolutionary work of Openhand. It's quite possibly the best investment you could make...

How do relationships fit into a soul-led life?
Comment
Hi Open,
Thanks for this article, this is definitely something I get tripped up on a lot. Recently, I was looking at how I prioritize what I do each day. Am I prioritizing what my soul is calling for? Often, I'm not. But the main thing I prioritize instead is what I see as my responsibilities to other people, mainly my family and work clients.
My soul is not always calling to pick my son up from school or finish a work project, but if I don't do these things it will negatively affect the people counting on me, which doesn't seem right. And I know those external relationships are only as "real" as the matrix is. In the greater scheme of things, they don't define who I am and they'll pass as all things do. But in certain moments, those people are counting on me to be present with them.
Also, aren't relationships a primary way we evolve in this life? I could just take off, ditch all my responsibilities, and go live alone in a cave, but I don't think that would necessarily serve my evolution. There would be no-one there to challenge or push me, so how would I know if I'm becoming more evolved or not? That doesn't feel like the right path either.
But I still get confused when it comes to being more aligned in how I interact with others. I get that I've created the people and situations in my life as a reflection of the convolutions in my own self. However, I often can't see what those reflections are pointing at, or how I could unwind them.
I don't think there's a clear question in any of that, but any reflections are welcome. 🦋

Hi Zoe,
It's a tough one for sure - I've been asking similar questions for years now. All I can really say is this - if you keep asking the questions and feeling into how to be in amongst all the appointments and expectations/responsibilities, eventually your life will create around that. Perhaps to create a situation with more flexibility and flow of soul in it. But, to do that you have to be that first. You have be prepared to challenge the status quo and all the 'shoulds' that having kids who grow up in simulation environments like school brings with it. You gradually chip away and your life changes accordingly.
So, what is your soul calling for in those moments?
I'm totally with you that being in the relationships is a challenging and powerful way to spiritual evolution. I like the Ram Das quote: "If you think you're enlightenened, go spend a week with your family." But also, when buttons are pushed, that's exactly the mirror we need to turn into.
When it comes to being more aligned in interactions with others, I've noticed if I'm trying to analyse what the reflections are with the lower mind, I miss the point. Instead, get into the triggering and process it, then ask what energy I feel to express and work to express it as accurately and empoweringly as possible. Over time that has built up a kind coherency when interacting. I big part of Gateway 2 is in interupting the immediate reactivity, so you fully feel into the moment, but also get to chose how you respond.
Happy to explore further if you want.

Authentic Relationships: Finding Right Relation With Oneself 👭
In reply to How do relationships fit into a soul-led life? by Zoe
Comment
This is a powerful exploration Zoe, around relationships. I'm sure that all can identify with your inquiry - I would encourage all to read the exchanges.
Rich, I agree: to create more space for soul to flow. 👍
However, I feel there is an underlying, fundamental point that's being flagged up here - it's coming from the soul, through the spiking words that are expressed. So often, the soul is wanting to speak to us, and uses our own words to do so.
What jumps out strongly (for me) is the word "prioritise" and also "responsibility" (to others). You said Zoe: "I prioritize instead what I see as responsibilities to other people." But the point is, you cannot truly give the other what their soul is calling for, unless you're honouring yours. Otherwise, we risk running around in the same old loops without growth or development for anyone - we simply reinforce the old patterns and behaviours.
My main point is around "priority". In your words, I hear you binding yourself into fixed relationship dynamics, wondering how to balance things, but without first securing the central tenet - which is: right relationship with yourself. Until this becomes the central priority, you won't find right relation with others either.
No, it's not about disappearing off into a retreat centre - although spending time recalibrating and recentering in the self away on retreat is utterly essential. Yes, I agree: engaging in relationships is how we evolve and grow. But if you're not truly centred in yourself first, and endeavouring to come from there, then you'll not find right balance or right relation with others - we create skewed and unfulfilling reality constructs.
In fact, this was really the underlying point of my article: as the Shift now accelerates, there must be a clear orientation with the soul, othwerwise, awakening people may themselves in 'no-man's-land' - not being fulfilled or effective in life, because of being pulled in different directions; not able to benefit from the soul's natural creativity either.
Another point I made, with regards to coming from the soul in daily life, is that you don't have to change everything to begin to come from the soul - not at all. You'll likely be in a landscape that is enfolded with the Matrix, where you have responsibilities, goals and deadlines. But this doesn't stop you coming from the soul in amongst all of that. Yes, you do have to work at it. And crucial to this is deciding what the priority is: is it to be coming from the felt-sense of soul and always being authentic? Or, are you simply suppressing and allowing the soul to be pushed into the background? The latter is to be in 'no-man's-land' - which is not a great or fulfilling place to be!
So, the crucial thing is to decide (which may take a lot of time, trial and error): What is my true priority in life? Bearing in mind, that the love, support and responsibility you offer to others cannot be genuine and authentic if not coming from the soul.
Work each day to tune into the soul. Know what it takes to find it in any given moment. Work to come from there and be authentic.
In this way, you'll find the landscape starts to shift and shape around what you're being - until it becomes the direct reflection of who you really are.
When it comes out, I would suggest picking up the remastered 5GATEWAYS - because it's all about coming into this rightness in regular life.
Much love

Hi Zoe, I feel this reflection might serve you. You speak of looking at what you do. Is it what your soul is calling for? This speaks to me of a contradiction between doing and being and thus would have no answer. Picking up your son is doing. Completing a work assignment is doing. Understanding how relationships fit in the matrix is doing. Living in a cave is doing. Knowing if you're becoming more evolved is doing. Seeing what reflections are pointing at is doing. I'm not saying these contemplations do not serve, but perhaps it is illuminating to see how much your question of how to be, lays focus on what to do.

20/11/2025 Shift Insight: Soul Navigation
If you hadn't realised it by now, we're amidst a major 'reset' of society, where the shadow is efforting this way and that to lock consciousness down. It's all about intentionally muddying the waters so people acqueisce into what they're given, and is thrust upon them - it's a law of diminishing returns.
But it doesn't have to be like this!
Paradoxically, at the same time, the light of the New Paradigm is breaking through. For anyone who is following the soul, on a moment-by-moment basis, then the light of the divine is breaking through. We can create pathways of light through the density - supported by miracles and magic.
Today's article above is designed to inspire increased focus and understanding of the soul's path - how to attune to it in daily life. Nothing could be more essential or important right now. The place not to be, is caught with one foot on either bank - you'll get pulled in different directions where neither pathway is successful.
If you're ready to go all-in, I believe the article can inspire and help you. Check it out, and do get back to me for any additional illumination or insight.
Well wishes to all

As you'll see in the latest article above, I'm amidst remastering Openhand's 5D Ascension Series of books - particuarly the earlier ones, so as they are highly relevant to life in today's complexity and so they interrelate more smoothly as a series.
Thomas and I have just redesigned the 5GATEWAYS cover - tell us what you think...

The new, remastered 5GATEWAYS is due out on 2/2/2026.
Looks great - should have broader appeal.

Hi Shantiram - thanks for asking.
Essentially the content of the remastered version of 5GATEWAYS will remain the same - however, I'm rephrasing plenty of the content to ensure it directly applies into modern day living too.
It's fascinating updating it - I wrote it many years ago, however, it's speaking into many of my own life processes now. It really was a download for the shift.
Much love
