29/03/2024 Openhand Journal Update

How are you doing in the shift out there Openhanders?

I wrote this piece above (scroll up) when we were through the first lockdown in 2020 - seems a long time ago now, right?! I believe people on the path have discovered volumes from it. Most of all, not to expect a quick fix!!

One of the understandable syndromes people slip into when they discover the path, is the thinking that you'll arrive at some plateau where everything is hunky-dory ever after. I find myself often in the unenviable place to have to burst that bubble!

But really the point is that all we need do is change perspective. There is no end goal. There is no heavenly plateau. There's the constant invitation to evolve and grow. Yes, you can find rest and solace in this. You can settle back into the eye of the storm, into the absolute. Here is the peace. But it's peace within the movement or else you end up denying the soul and the peace at the centre suddenly evaporates.

So when you get tired or worn out at times, yet the path seems to urge you on, reflect on the points I'm making in the article. When the mind doesn't own the tiredness or the resistance, you develop a different relationship with it - you see it as an opportunity.

One day you look back and see the marvellous benefit - you've grown. It was all about the revelation of you!!

Bright blessings everyone
