Hi Open,

this article resonates a lot at this time. I would liken it to the feeling I have been having since yesterday and occasionally before (usually when seeing you guys doing the work on terrestrial retreats :) - a sort of 'call to arms'. The news about shortening of the time window of the Shift were quite shocking for me personally and I didn't see them coming. I have been contemplating about it and watching the feelings coming from this realisation. It's landing for sure but I don't think it fully landed in my being, yet.

What it has accomplished so far, though, is shining the light on more subtle identities of the ego. Having 30 years of time is quite a lot for some 'nice and cozy spiritual identity' to fully develop for sure :) I have been observing a construction of one in my life over the last months, how I was slowly building my idea of a business in coaching, facilitating and similar areas. More aligned version of identity, yes, but still an identity and an attachment to something in this reality.

What happens if you squeeze the time window into 10 or so years? All the time that you had for wasting your time around is gone! (well, not all, the ego might find a subtler way, for now) There is no more time for not hopping on the ride. No more leaving the hard work for tomorrow... It definitely brought up these feelings for me. The other important feeling coming up for me that I would like to point to is - 'what's the point of it all now?' There is no time for building anything anymore, so why even trying? And even if you try, there is no time to help others in the Shift. And so on... This is very important feeling for me and I do think it might be a gateway for processing my attachments which I have at this moment.

I felt to share this as others might have similar feelings coming up these days. Yesterday I also contemplated on 'what's my why'. It certainly is one of my favourite thoughts from Openhand work. So much power in three simple words. I created a wallpaper to remind myself of it, attaching it if anyone would be interested.

Thank you, Dominik 🌱
