Word from the Author, "Open"

I'm thrilled to share this book with you all. I was Chris Bourne's Guardian in the ether, helping steer his path through situations and circumstances that would help him awaken - illuminating the signs and synhcronicities along the path. You all have them - "Guardians" and "Watchers", working tirelessly to support your journey, yet not spoonfeeding, ensuring that the revelations you make are yours to embody. Ultimately, Chris and I underwent a Soul Exchange by sacred agreement - he ascended and moved on, whilst I came in to finish the work. This book is based on his original journal before departing. And refreshed with my explanations and understanding. In this regard, I do believe the book to be completely unique, one of a kind.

Reader Feedback

"Through teary eyes, heart brimming over with gratitude for Chris’ journey, for the determination, perseverance, courage - just the sheer intensity with which he lived here and the absolute beauty of witnessing his reconnection through his incredible adventures…the magic, the love, the doubt and insecurity…it just touches me so deeply." ... Jen

"Just finished the book. I found myself getting up early and staying up late to read more of the unfolding saga. What a ride!! Jam-packed with wisdom...inspiration popped up on every page. I wanted to copy and paste to Social Media little tidbits every day. This will surely speak to many."... Joann

"This is a brilliantly written book that offers so many gems. It is an amazing account of one mans journey of awakening, moving beyond boundaries and breaking through immense challenges. His story is incredible and so engaging to read about it was hard to put down. Although his life experiences were very different from my own the realizations were incredibly relatable to my own journey on so many levels. I would have to stop and digest the information, often brought to tears of painful recognition along with those of immense joy. This book is enlightening, fascinating and above all inspiring. It helped me recognize past moments of breakthrough as well as recognizing that each moment holds the possibility of that. I truly loved it and would highly recommend it." ... Kim

"Loved this book and the authors story of his breakthrough. At times I felt he was reflecting a twin version of myself. However, I am still on the journey of breakthrough though I have had many small ones along my life journey. This book and the website have become very inspirational in following. I of course recommend it but I also believe books will find their way to you as you need them even if sometimes your not always ready for all of the content but there is usually some lesson about it that it landed in your path for a message to unfold."... Olulpana

"I found myself getting up early and staying up late to read more of the unfolding saga. What a ride!! Jam-packed with wisdom...inspiration popped up on every page. I wanted to copy and paste to Social Media little tidbits every day. This will surely speak to anyone interested in understanding the human/divine experience. Highly recommend" ... Amazon Reader

"I woke up at 5am, saw your email and began reading your book. It's been an hour and I can't put it away. Such a great work! And so synchronistic for me right now! I'll spread the word."... Margaret

Author's Note

"This book is the first in Openhand's '5D Ascension Series', which is a framework of exploration for your own evolutionary inquiry. I suggest you take your time when you read it, pausing at key explorations that resonate for you and work to apply the revelations contained within the text to the situations you're currently facing. That way, it becomes much more than just reading a book, but rather a powerful transmission for your shift into a higher consciousness." Namaste, Open.

The BREAKTHROUGH Book Remastered is here, at the start of 2026, to help quantum kickstart your journey, your year, and your spiritual evolution. At 350 pages in total, it's 50 extra from the original, with much deeper and more insightful spiritual viewpoints, littered throughout Chris Bourne's journey of awakening.

The Book, I'm sure, is one of a kind: in that it shares the dialogue, across the divide, of the spiritual seeker Chris Bourne with his Guardian - which happened to be me! The book is essentially crafted from his journal before ascending and moving on - we formed a sacred agreement to exchange places in a Soul Exchange.

My purpose in remastering, was to ensure it was brought right into context for the current, convoluted times in the Shift, to ensure people can cut right through the derailments, distractions and blatant deceptions going on. It's about cutting right to the chase, especially in those most challenging situations in life: in your career, your relationships and how you generally live. How do you bridge across into that divine connection that lights your path and your life? That's exactly what this book is all about, and I'm certain, hits the mark on every page.

This blog about the book was initially launched 10 years ago, with the launch of the original edition. I have to say, it brought tears to my eyes when I reflected back through the original feedback. Here were three comments that touched me deeply...

I find it very moving, guys. If you're still around, from the bottom of my heart, thankyou! 💖

Breakthrough has finally arrived! Open has been working away, with every spare moment over the last year, creating the all new Breakthrough Workshop, which is set to travel the globe this month, starting off here in Avalon, before swiftly sailing over the pond to Europe. AND - deep, deep inhale my friends... as many of you already know, Open has completed his next book "BREAKTHROUGH" (which has actually been over 12 years in the making!). It's truly is an "epic journey of awakening", inspired to help others make that all-important Spiritual Breakthrough that will change everything. Being involved in the design process, I've had more than my fair share of sneak peeks - so I am absolutely thrilled to announce it's release.

Do dive in and check it out. We're already getting some amazing feedback - thanks everyone! 🙏...

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

Just finished Breakthrough and I loved it. Took me some time to read it because every few pages I had to pause as memories of my own breakthroughs forgotten or not recognized came to the surface. There are so many gems in this book, so many "ah, yeses", so much resonance. The book for me was another reminder of gratitude for the journey because it really is an amazing adventure we are all on.

Throughout the book I kept seeing the number 3. I would be reading, and 3 would flash in my mind.

Towards the end of the book, I was out walking with the dogs and there in my path lay a bald eagle feather. Although I have been gifted an eagle feather, I have never found one in my path. At first I didn't pick it up, just looked at it in wonderment. Eagle medicine is that of spirit, it is very powerful medicine, worn by chiefs in their head dresses. To my grandmother's people, you have to earn an eagle feather. The feather lay directly across from my mentor, Grandmother Standing Tree. I felt her saying, "pick it up." I cupped the feather in my two hands and felt this amazing sense of lightness, as if I were a feather too.

The following day on the same trail, ten feet from where I had found the eagle feather, was a wild turkey feather. Turkey is the medicine of give-away or pot-latch, sharing or giving what you have with others; to share abundance not hang on to abundance. I put the feather in my hat band to join the eagle feather: giving and spirit.

The next day I was drawn to take a different path to the creek, through the pine forest. And there in my path was a crow feather. Crow medicine is that of magic, shape shifting, moving through darkness and light. Since I live with a family of crows I am quite used to seeing crow feathers. But this one was different: it was not an old feather shed because it was no longer needed. This feather was newly given, pristine. It joined the eagle, and turkey feathers in my hat.

I feel the medicines of these birds represent Breakthrough: spirit, generosity, and movement through darkness into light.

love, tigger

Open's "Breakthrough" book arrived this week. I drove down to the beach two days ago to read it while basking in the warm sun by the ocean. An hour later, I felt a strong urge to leave. I drove my car to the only street that exits the waterfront and was greeted by a traffic flag-person who flashed a red STOP sign at me. She was highly animated as she repeatedly motioned to me to back my car up further and further from the exit road, which I did. I noted a huge barge on the water and several trucks parked along the beach front. Five to ten minutes later, the yellow tape across the road was removed after a truck came through, so I slowly began to accelerate forward to the street up ahead on my right. Whereupon the flag-person flashed the STOP sign at me again.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"It's impossible to get out since there's a house sitting on a platform in the middle of the exit road. They're slowly bringing it down the road to load it onto the barge," she said.

"How long will this take?" I asked.

"I don't know. But no-one can get by," she said.

I had important timelines to keep to that day. No signs had been posted informing the public that the road would be closed. The scene felt so much bigger than what was actually playing out. I felt an incredible upwelling of warrior energy surge through my being.

"I have an important appointment to keep, so I simply must get out!" I announced firmly in no uncertain terms.

The supervisor of the project was witnessing the exchange from across the road.

"Does she have to get out?" he shouted.

"YES!" I shouted back. By this time, the flag-person had backed away from me. I sensed she didn't want to take me on. Wise woman.

"I will take you through," the supervisor said.

He led me around the corner where a large, two-storey house was sitting on a platform with a truck parked beside it, blocking the entire street. He instructed the driver to move the truck so I could get through. I was on my way.

My day had begun quietly sitting contentedly in the sun reading Open's new book. An hour later, I was prepared to take on a whole army if need be. No-one's holding me captive in this crazy matrix, stop sign or no. Breakthrough I did!

Bottom Line: Don't mess with a fierce post-menopausal priestess! :)

Hey Cathy :-)

Interesting experience. What really stood out for me in your story was ... the house.

You said:
"there's a house sitting on a platform in the middle of the exit road. They're slowly bringing it down the road to load it onto the barge"

A floating house! What a splendid symbol of dissolving the attachments. It speaks to me of the courage to let go of the old foundation and becoming at home ... in the flow.

I'm inspired! Thank you, Cathy :-)

Hi M.

I'm happy my experience inspired you. I love your interpretation of the symbolic house: being at home in the flow. The house speaks to me about transcending attachment to the physical and emotional in the third dimension and coming home to the cosmic beings we truly are. Then, like the Charioteer in the Voyager tarot, we feel at home no matter where we are.

This book came at a perfect moment for me. I have these ups and downs where I get sucked back in my need for strive and perfection and this book helps me to let it all go. I'm so moved by it! <3

Comment

I agree with you Hannelore, Breakthrough was so engaging but I found I had to take my time reading it, pausing to process the reflections and feelings it was bringing up for me about my own life's journey. Looking at my own insecurities, doubts, and fears as well as highlighting revelations and breakthroughs. It was completely engaging, inspiring, emotional and transformative. I loved it and will be reading it again!

Couldn't put the book down but sometimes I just had to because of all the memories and processing involved. It tired me out. Each section brought memories to the surface where I resonated with what had happened to me, how I had felt, and dealt with similar situations. Thank you Open for the work.

Comment

I'm so bowled over by the wonderful words of support and sentiment flowing toward the book. Thank you so much.

And it's flying out like proverbial 'hot cakes' - we can barely keep up with the postal runs. So I guess it must have struck a chord out there in the field.

I do believe it can help many. When I was writing it - essentially editing the memoirs - it was key for me to relate the personal stories to the reader - to really regress the reader into the situations so that they'd feel it and be able to relate it to their lives. It seems this is indeed happening.

Wonderful!

Open

Comment

Yes, isn't this book just incredible??!!! I can't even count how many times I was sitting there saying, Geez! that's just how I have felt and realized wow! It's not just me and if one can breakthrough these limitations than all can. So it has ignited a deeper allowance of the doubts, fears, insecrities to be held within the space of the loving presence within. It has allowed me start to embrace who I am and not work so hard to be something else. It's not easy to be in the heat of it, but I feel a stronger sense of inner support to be in the heat and not need to escape it - nor need to get stuck in it, but to go deep and then release through it. Reading through a second time now and just feel indescribable gratitude. It's truly a work of heart =). Much love, Jen

Comment

I'm so excited Chris' journey is written in such a page-turning story. As Margaret said the average person on this path can perhaps see him/herself in the struggles experienced by Chris...how we get lost but by not giving up-EVER-we can be found. There is such truth and wisdom on every page. I think it's brilliant to use the perspective of a conversation between Chris as he reviews his life and Presence. Again, a guide or model for how we operate in the world. Truly grateful and will certainly spread the word. Much love to Trinity for all the behind-the-scenes contribution and to the Team. Much Love always. xo

Comment

I'm kind of surprised there aren't more posts on here about the book.
Or maybe I'm not.
I'm on page 194. I feel it's the best book yet..
Amazing. Heroic. Wonderful. And courageous honesty.
I'm already telling everyone to read it.
Thank you Chris,
Thank you Open.

Guys, I feel so much gratitude to be included in this amazing journey. Cant wait for the book, Excited!

Comment

To me, "Breakthrough" is the most touching of all your books, Open. Thank you for sharing more of your consciousness with us. I can see my own transformation in yours as I'm reading the passages. The book is magic.

Trinity, this book would not be (the same) without your support. Thank you for your part in my journey.

With gratitude <3
