Here's a great video exploration from "Democracy Now" on how abrupt climate change is shrinking habitable earth and the tremendous acceleration of that. It's essential evolving people are informed of what's really going on, where there's still so much avoidance, denial or deferral. At Openhand we advocate 'turning right into' the inconvenient truth of dramatic biosphere change and the threat to our very physical existence. What does that activate within? Work through any fear and contracting tightness. That's the pathway to your immortal spiritual self and the shift into 5D consciousness...

When you truly step onto the path, and feel the directive of the Shift, it's sure to set you against the majority of people around you, clinging to the vestiges of a crumbling reality. Still they hang on, shrivelled in fear, and a part of that reality control, will be to make you wrong. This is where your dream is so important. We've been crammed into the container of a small control mechanism. But how big are you really? How much more can you be as a being? Of course I'm not talking about the confines of ego. I'm talking about having the courage to completely shatter the illusions and constraints of an out-dated reality that no longer serves.

So I ask, how big is your Dream for Yourself?

I had the pleasure of giving a workshop at Trew Fields cancer and holistic health awareness festival this last weekend. It was truly inspiring to see so many people challenging their preconceived ideas and conditioning around subjects such as cancer, drugs, holistic therapies and death. However, even here I observed some resistance to talking about dying itself.

It is such a taboo subject, and yet my aim is to break this taboo by normalising it for people in a way that not only reduces fear of the dying process, but also gives you the tools to approach it in a conscious way, which is ultimately free from suffering.

There was something totally captivating about the rescue of the young Tai football team, trapped underground, in water filled tunnels for over 9 days, with little food or clean water, in the dark, awaiting a perilous rescue attempt. Cometh the hour, cometh the person: in this case, a young Buddhist Monk, the Team coach, who kept the boys centred and trusting, through meditation and calmness. The metaphor is beyond words. He was in the 'right' place at the right time, just as you and I will be, when our time comes in this great shift of consciousness happening across the earth. What an inspiration.

On the path, you'll have to get used to going into 'the desert' - an inner landscape that will call you at times; it's where there's some inner convolution of consciousness that needs to be unravelled. Be prepared for it to feel harsh. There will be no immediate answers, no soft shoulder to cry on. Yes, the Gods will be with you, and they'll be smiling, but not answering your longing, which can make it feel all the more challenging. Yet going into the desert is necessary, and your apparent aloneness essential.

Here's what the purpose is, and encouragement for dealing with it...

The Shift accelerates right across our planet; the patterns are falling clearer into view now, and it's essential ascending people equalise with what's going on, because that's how you find the path of light through it. Here are the developing patterns: (1) There remains the zombified denial of society, desperately clinging to 'business as usual'; (2) Gaia is responding predominantly through the Pole Shift, which is accelerating earthquake and volcanic activity, lowering her magnetic shield, progressively opening the biosphere to transformative cosmic cleansing; (3) Meanwhile plenty in the Spiritual Mainstream are still languishing behind blinkers - thinking there's a sustainable 3D solution.

The unwinding cleansing through the 4D and into 5D IS the solution. Let's get real folks!

I've been touching on the subject of responsibility with many of my clients recently. Many people see the pain of those around them, and feel a certain sense of responsibility for it. Particularly when they judge what they've said, or the actions they have taken, has led to pain in another. Its one theme I'll be touching on in my book 'Awakening into Change' coming out in autumn (fall) of 2018. And because it's such a sensitive subject I thought I would go deeper here into exactly why I say you are NOT responsible for other people's suffering.

I just came across this awesome video, put to the music track, "Are we Human or are we Dancers?" Check it out, it has some amazingly inspirational clips celebrating just what it means to be "human". But then also, you get a great sense of something beyond. And that's what I often feel about this curious experience of 'being human'. It feels, at times, very dense and physical, hence we can dance!

In case you weren't aware, one of the biggest synchronicities that times exactly with accelerating climate change, is the accelerating pole shift. As this unfolds, the earth's magnetic shield lowers, which increases the transformation effect on our biosphere from cosmic radiation. That's clearly now on the increase. It's why volcanic and earthquake activity are also escalating. Personally I find it amazing that society continues with 'business as usual', in the wake of the gathering 'perfect storm'. It's time to reappraise how we spend our lives and what are the true priorities?

Hey spiritual folk! Have you got your head around "cryptocurrency" yet? I wouldn't blame you for a minute if you hadn't - all that techno jargon could be enough to put any sensitive soul off. But hang in there just a minute, if you can, because I feel given to represent a view that cryptocurrency is certainly one signal, that reflects a mobile shift of resources and energy from the old world, 3D consciousness, and towards more 5D consciousness. Why do I say that? Let me put it as simply as possible, with minimal techno jargon.

Update note: Since I wrote this article back in 2018, the revelance of cryptocurrency and the blockchain tecnology has greatly enhanced, especially in light of fiat money deflation effects due to government bailouts in wake of the virus pandemic. Although it does offer the possibility to escape onto decentralised trading platforms with more empowerment for the individual, institutions are getting involved. I still believe however the blockchain technology signals a movement towards general decentralisation, personal fluidity and sovereignty. So I would encourage an exploration, especially in light of recent pandemic developments.

I think one of the biggest challenges in living the awakened state, is how you bring the expansiveness of the divine into the old world reality?

When you get into the practice, it's not hard to let go...in meditation for example. And when you're skilled in a 3D sense, it's not that hard to create. But how about bringing the expansiveness into creativity, into daily awakened living? That's not always easy - people tend to bounce from one state to the other. The real awakened skill, is to integrate one INTO the other...

Every day is a new moment, a new possibility. What will you create and how will you create it? If we can find the most aligned way of living and being, then we'll progressively surrender into the divine flow, which will speak magically through us. You'll get the most sublime reflections that will sing you alive. The key is to always begin with what you're creating now. Why did you create it? You'll witness the shadow and the light. Explore what 'skin' you now need to shed - what new aspect of beingness can it make way for?
