Question?
Comment
Hi Open,
The Ring of Fire is finally amping up here in the Pacific Northwest. Quakes are swarming and the potential for the Cascadia Subduction Zone to rupturesoon may be increasing.
My question is, if that were to happen soon and I'm not fully ready for ascension, and I crossed over... would I have to come back again and process through more karma? I know you say it can take years to fully process through it all.
I've wondered about that quite often. I ordered and am waiting for the Absolution book 3 to arrive here. I'm hoping to get some insight on my question and how to maybe speed up the karmic processing?
Looking forward to your answer and the book arriving. ๐

Will I have time to process all my karma? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
In reply to Question? by Sherri Sunnygirl
Comment
Hi Sherri, it's a question I get a lot these days: Will I have time to process all my karma? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
And will I have to come back if I don't?
Both questions belie something deeper about the journey and invite deeper realisation and acceptance. The questions suggest there's somewhere to get to, and getting there, one will find peace, happiness, freedom, etc. etc.
But there is only the journey! And in that, self-actualisation and revelation. The journey doesn't end when all personal karma is gone - it's a constant process of actualising self. And then maybe you'd take on group karma, working at that level. That's certainly what I've done here.
Instead then, can you accept the journey step by step, and whatever you've manifested here? Don't look too far ahead - only this next step that is presenting. Treat each moment as a possible revelation of you. Then it doesn't matter if you're processing personal karma, group karma or other.
I trust this helps.

Hi Open,
That makes sense not to look too far ahead. That's what has been causing me anxiety. I've alwys been a planner my whole life and I've not been able to plan into the future and see a result. I'll have to continually remind myself to keep just taking it one step at a time, one day at a time. Thank you for the great insight. It calmed my anxiety immediately.
Much love, ๐

When You've Crossed the 4D Karmic Red Sea: Risk being at peace๐
Comment
Humanity has been drawn onto the plane of Karma - that's exactly what this Middle East War has been all about. It will continue. There are many waves of journeying through this Red Sea. But, amidst it all, from time to time, you will find deep peace. Until the deep peace is lasting.
And remember, this 4D Karmic Red Sea is all around you. They're veils that project into your regular life. They impact you even though you can't see them. You recognise the patterning of them, how they present. You learn to keep breaking through.
"Don't tell me how wonderful things will be...someday.
Show me how you can risk being completely at peace,
truly okay with the way things are right now in this moment,
and the next, and the next, and the next..."

Which is it?

Hi Open,
Thank you for sharing this poem, it resonated with me. It also brought up a common spiritual contradiction that often confuses me. On the one hand, he's saying to pursue what you ache for. Then, there's also the advice to be truly okay with the way things are. So which is it? I assume he means to pursue your soul-led longings, not your human desires. Like for me, I have a desire to have more free time so I can do fun things. But there's attachment there because I want to achieve something. Whereas, a pursuit truly coming from the soul wouldn't need an outcome.
So I do my best to be okay with the way things are rather than pursuing endless desires. But to be able to honestly say from the bottom of my heart that I am completely okay with the way my life is would probably take many, many lifetimes. That level of acceptance seems very spiritually advanced, and I'm nowhere near that.
That's where I get confused. In the meantime, should I be pursuing my attachments? Or just keep doing my best to accept my life, knowing that it's all just karma working itself out anyway? The answer is probably 'both' on some level that I don't really get.
Thanks if you want to offer any thoughts on that. ๐

Dealing with reality contradictions
In reply to Which is it? by Zoe
Comment
These are good questions, Zoe, and important to ask. Although what I would say is there's a clear tendency for the mind to own the inquiry, rather than it being a felt-sense inquiry at a soul level. Let's deal with the contradictions...
Firstly:
On the one hand, he's saying to pursue what you ache for. Then, there's also the advice to be truly okay with the way things are.
You have already created the reality you're in. So accept that. Without trying to change the specific circumstances through some mind-led decision-making. Although do acknowledge that something is missing from what you're creating. Now, work to figure out how your consciousness is already creating the situation - both the aligned aspect of your soul, and the misaligned (by applying the Breakthrough Approach, working with tightness and triggering).
When you learn to accept what you've already created, then the key is to discover your true passions and joy - those things that really move you. Because these are the abode of the soul, and by expressing them, you unleash rightness into your life and create more from authenticity.
Secondly:
Like for me, I have a desire to have more free time so I can do fun things.
Reality follows what you're being - the frequency you're expressing out into the world. So if you identify there's something lacking, and you genuinely feel that, work to express the energy you'd like to have more of. Then life will shape more that way. It seems to me, you're not finding and expressing your passion enough in regular life - is there a stifling of the soul?
Finally, you say:
So I do my best to be okay with the way things are, rather than pursuing endless desires. But to be able to honestly say from the bottom of my heart that I am completely okay with the way my life is would probably take many, many lifetimes.
Again, you've touched a key paradox. To be truly accepting of 'the way things are' is to find true acceptance of yourself - meaning, the deepest aspect of yourself, which is the Absolute, and doesn't need changing. In any given moment, then, it's about breaking through the relativity, which feels like tightness, and into the awesome acceptance of pure presence. This doesn't have to take lifetimes, though - it can happen in an instant. And it usually comes when one becomes disillusioned with the relativity - the external - knowing that you can't truly 'fix' it.
So work just to let go into yourself - it's what I call Absolution.
But once you are in the Absolute, the soul is going to fire and want to create. Only an ego then stops this, or else gets wrapped up in it, 'trying to create something you want'. Only the ego wants. That's where expressing your passion comes in, and creating too, but creating just for the sake of the feeling the act of creating itself.
You work to find a balance - you're settling back into yourself and the abode of the Absolute, but at the same time, expressing into your passion.
Now life will shape around you from the True Self - and this is a progressive, never-ending journey of discovery and actualisation.
See how these illuminations sit with you.

Turn the Tables of the Old Temple: Set The Soul Free ๐๏ธ

It's high time we turned the tables on the 'Old Temple' of control and hierarchy - by setting our souls free, claiming sovereignty within...

Weather modification in the US? โ๏ธ
Comment
I'm seeing plenty of spiritual and alternative mainstream folk suggesting that the storm and power outages in the USA is down to weather modification.
Reallyโ๏ธ
Could it be that instead, we've just had a massive sequence of solar blasts directed at Earth, and the polar votexes have been pushed further south.
What commentators are inadvertantly doing, in these bogus reports, is handing over power to the Shadow - they're saying they have control of everything, when in fact they can't control the Shift.
There are precious few on the planet who actually understand the true nature of what is now unfolding at a planetary, solar system and galactic level.
The 11:11 code tells us to become as one with these mighty shifts - not distracting from them, nor closing down in the face of them.
When we embrace the Shift as it truly is, then it causes us to confront all the layers of limitation and disempowerment. Steadily we open up to the tremendous divine inflows of energy.
Homo sapiens will not come through this Shift. But the Divine being Divinicus will. It's right now that we forge that being.

Brilliant explanation of the Polar Vortices Affecting Weather ๐ช
In reply to Weather modification in the US? โ๏ธ by Open
Comment
Here's a brilliant explanation by Stefan Burns of how the polar vortices are being impacted by solar emissions. No, to all those misguided alternative reporters out there, it's NOT weather modification! It's caused because our solar system is moving into the galactic current sheet, at a time when the Sun is lowering its magnetic shield, AND as we culminate toward the Earth's pole shift. It means more cosmic energy comes into our solar system, more plasma and charged particles escape the Sun, and so Earth's polar vortexes are pushed further south.
It's something we need to equalise with, and embrace, as a part of the Shift. Then we become empowered within it, because we stop identifying with the physical.
Fortunately, down here in Mexico on retreat right now, it's nice and warm! ๐

3i/Atlas is still very much with us and impacting the electromagnetic coupling of our solar system - opening it up.

We struggle with choices, when it's all an illusion! ๐
Comment
We struggle with choices in life, when mostly that's all an illusion.
The soul wants to simply flow, like a river down a mountain.
There's only confusion where things get blocked. But then the key is to work with the block.
Where's the tightness?
What's the fear?
How are you identifying yourself with the external?
Work to let it go. And you'll find the soul re-engages the best path, the best 'choices' almost immediately.

Not enough time to meditate in the day? Try this... ๐ง
Comment
People often say to me: "I don't have time to meditate, I have a full-on daily job to do."
So try this:
Next time you're at work, at your desk (or wherever), do what you're doing, but also, at the same time, put your attention in your crown - and breathe there.
Keep doing it. Until you can feel the lightness there.
Now, even if you're working 12 hours a day, you can meditate all the way through it!
Well wishes

Every Moment is a Breakthrough Moment ๐
Comment
I'm currently remastering the Openhand Book, "BREAKTHROUGH".
The central point of the book, is that every moment represents the possibility of a Breakthrough.
Let's say you're having some challenge at home or at work. Or there's a difficult choice to make that isn't clear, but causing some emotional or mental anxiety.
It's always something on the inner that needs to be worked with - some density that's projecting into the outer.
Turn into it then, and work into it.
Find the Sacred Ground of Being at the core of the density. Settle into that presence.
Now you'll find you can progressively unwind through the density.
Yes, it does take some practice!
Join us at the upcoming Ascendion Exchanges, where we'll definitely be applying Breakthrough:
The spiritual path is not about constantly learning new skills๐ง
Comment
"The spiritual path is not about constantly learning new skills.
It happens in the non-glamorous dogged determination to work in, and break through.
It's not sexy. It's definitely not easy. And mostly involves breaking things down, as opposed to building things up."

"Avalonia: Enter the Golden Age", Openhand's new book in the 5D Ascension Series is now complete. Yeah!
We'll be featuring it here in due course.

It's taken 9 months of early 2am starts. So I've been feeling a degree bushed, but now relieved it's all complete.
This video came to me the other day - I feel just like the beast in the middle!!
