I turned the last page of Open's "Breathrough" book in the middle of last night, tears streaming down. What a gift Open has given us in putting Chris Bourne's spiritual evoutionary journey out there for all to read. His joys, his sorrows, his suffering, his triumps, his achievements, his setbacks, his breakdowns, his breakthoughs about the deeper meaning behind it all, and finally his loving and generous commitment to staying with us here in 3D long enough to gift us 5 Gateways before he ascended to 5D. It gladdens my heart to feel Chris in a higher world.

I wept for Chris Bourne and everyone he encountered in his lifetime. His wife, Amanda, their children, his parents, friends, colleagues, lovers. So much suffering we all experience here. Heartbreaking. So hard for those who breakthrough and are misunderstood by others. But also hard for those who don't get it. Tears streaming down as I feel this in my own life.

I was acutely aware of being triggered by certain passages in the book, particularly when Chris and Amanda have their first child, and Chris feels even more disconnected from his wife who was focused on caring for their baby. It brought up intense feelings of abandonment by my husband when our children were born and anger about how women, in general, are overburdened and suffer so many inequities in this patriarchal culture. That's not to say that I didn't feel enormous compassion for Chris, as well. I'm aware I have "stuff" to process around this and feel to delve into in my own writing.

The vivid descriptions of Chris's life in the military, how soldiers are cruelly mistreated, and the physical pain he endured and ultimately triumphed over resonated deeply with me in my own karmic journey down through the eons. I felt such heartache and anguish reading these passages.

Too many insights from reading and feeling into the book to catalogue here.

Deep gratitude to Open for this epic account of Chris Bourne's life and evolutionary journey. I know the book will touch the hearts of many as it has mine.

Much Love,

Catherine
