“All night, a man called out “God! God!”
Until his lips were bleeding.
Then the Adversary of mankind said, “Hey! Mr Gullible!
… How come you’ve been calling all night
And never once heard God say, “Here, I AM”?
You call out so earnestly and, in reply, what?
I’ll tell you what. Nothing!”

The man suddenly felt empty and abandoned.
Depressed, he threw himself on the ground
And fell into a deep sleep.
In a dream, he met an angel, who asked,
“Why are you regretting calling out to God?”

The man said, “ I called and called
But God never replied, “Here I AM.”

The Angel explained, “God has said,
“Your calling my name is My reply.
Your longing for Me is My message to you.
All your attempts to reach Me
Are in reality My attempts to reach you.
Your fear and love are a noose to catch Me.
In the silence surrounding every call of “God”
Waits a thousand replies of “Here I AM.” ~ Rumi

In the beginning, after awakening, understandably there's a craving for nature and everything that is authentic.
But there comes a time when you realise there isn't anywhere we can't go.
The Bladerunner always reminds me of that 👍

You'll get pulled in all manner of directions out in society right now, and with the various challenges we face on the planet. Nothing can be more crucial in aligning with the soul in any given moment. Do explore and ask if you'd like some feedback on the Openhand point of view about doing that...

It's a beautiful journey, a powerful one, which not only prepares you for the future, but is also the most resilient and resourceful way to bridge the present. Too few are yet embarked on this journey. In some spiritual circles, yes, some have made it to Everest base camp, with experiences of the True Self and at times Samadhi. But that's only the beginning of the journey. Now is the time to start the real climb - which is the pains taking inner inquiry of peeling back the layers in daily life and reclaiming buried fragments of soul: in relationships especially; how you live and work; in the minutiae of daily life.

Spiritual parctice must take priority now. It must be what drives the day rather than something you do when you have time for it. Time is running out! Coming together in mutually supportive groups is paramount. The reflections we're getting in the mainstream are nothing more than propaganda of where they want to direct attention - directly away from the herd of elephants in the living room. And in spiritual circles, to my mind, too many are still challenging the cloak, rather than considering what it's truly masking. If we come together in energetically supportive groups we can share the true multidimensional landscape we're ascending through.

My deepest prayer is that ears that have so far been shut, will open; that serious contemplation of the real truth that is unfolding will be given requisite attention. Open 🙏❤️

Choice is really an illusion - the soul simply flows.
Choice only happens where there's confusion about what the soul really yearns to do.
Ego gets in the way, which you feel as tightness or can witness as unconscious patterning.
If you really want to flow as the soul, let the choices happen, but then if you hit disharmony, work to figure out what attachment caused you to do what you did, then work to break it down inside.

Comment

It's YOU,
YOU are the final piece of the jigsaw you've been searching for.
YOU are what makes it all click into place.
YOU are the master creator...

I found this just simply awesome, from the wonderful Thich Nhat Hanh. It goes out to anyone whose lost someone...

"The day my mother died, I wrote in my journal, "A serious misfortune of my life has arrived." I suffered for more than one year after the passing away of my mother. But one night, in the highlands of Vietnam, I was sleeping in the hut in my hermitage. I dreamed of my mother. I saw myself sitting with her, and we were having a wonderful talk. She looked young and beautiful, her hair flowing down. It was so pleasant to sit there and talk to her as if she had never died. When I woke up, it was about two in the morning, and I felt very strongly that I had never lost my mother. The impression that my mother was still with me was very clear. I understood then that the idea of having lost my mother was just an idea. It was obvious in that moment that my mother is always alive in me.
I opened the door and went outside. The entire hillside was bathed in moonlight. It was a hill covered with tea plants, and my hut was set behind the temple halfway up. Walking slowly in the moonlight through the rows of tea plants, I noticed my mother was still with me. She was the moonlight caressing me as she had done so often, very tender, very sweet... wonderful! Each time my feet touched the earth I knew my mother was there with me. I knew this body was not mine but a living continuation of my mother and my father and my grandparents and great-grandparents. Of all my ancestors. Those feet that I saw as "my" feet were actually "our" feet. Together my mother and I were leaving footprints in the damp soil.
From that moment on, the idea that I had lost my mother no longer existed. All I had to do was look at the palm of my hand, feel the breeze on my face or the earth under my feet to remember that my mother is always with me, available at any time."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Thank you Open, reminding me what seems to be just lingering these days.

Death—

Martin’s mother passed last month. He was home in Ireland with his ten siblings. Still the black sheep, learning more and more about himself and his orientation in the world. I ask myself how and who will I be: what is my orientation when a loved one dies?

Death—

It has been an in-your-face, universal topic for discussion as well as just downright manipulation to create fear over the last two years. Something that I never thought I would be thinking about on a weekly basis. Anticipating people dying. Trying to avoid lethal injections. Watching others go bonkers to “survive.” Listening to very mean accusations that created visceral separation. My children have been introduced to stress and trauma I was not at all anticipating as a mother. Everyone in my immediate family seems to be injected and hangin’ in there just fine. Haven’t heard of anyone in my global circle dying of anything these past 2 yrs. Am I just absolutely crazy??...as I have chosen to stay away from the needle and pray profusely that my children stay protected since their father figures are pushing it.

Death—

Presently, there is a wag-the-dog war again, hyping up the emotions globally. Playing on the nerves and dragging death through the coals to light up a fire of fear.

Death—

Now that it is on everyone’s mind—wow!—do you think we can look it in the eye and call it for what it really is? Something that creates an ending that then leads to a new beginning. Over and over and over again. The cycle of life that is more celebratory than not??

Death—

So I have observed myself, priming my heart and mind for imminent death, not mine per se but my family and friends that have been injected. There for awhile I was anticipating everyone in my town to fall over. I have wished a quick death on my ex to make my life easier. I wonder what my nieces and nephews might feel if their parents die. Can I take them under my wing? Waiting for enough deaths to prove a point — there is EVIL in the world or at least some bullshit that is making all of our lives more complicated than beautiful and calm. Anticipating many deaths which will reek havoc on the economy — blah blah blah blah — the wonderment goes on. What the hell am I focusing on ?!? Sit and breathe and listen, Gwyn.

Death—

I don’t really like thinking about the "if" my siblings might die much sooner than I thought. I really love all four of them and have dreamt of a few more “family” gatherings to make beautiful memories. My parents—they are rarely a part of the grand kiddos' lives, so I am not so sad if they pass. Whatever! Oh lord--how could I say such things? At this point, I feel like I have thrown out my family as I have most everything else under the sun. The constructs of everything just turned inside out and upside down.

Death—

I just don’t seem to have sadness quelling up as the emotion for death.

I feel more of a celebration. I feel more of a “same as it every was” syndrome. I feel more of an acceptance of the universe doing a cleansing and detox. I am not confused about death — I just don’t see it as important, like the “war” in Ukraine or whether my county will ever lift the mask mandate. I don’t really care or have much to say about it. I feel a “I told you so” wanting to blurt out, yet, it is trumped by the feeling of compassion for all of humanity as we ride out this wave of inevitable uncomfortableness. I feel a lot of vibrations in my body. I feel a headache and lump in my stomach, a void in my heart. I feel a lot these days: Breathe breathe and breathe some more.

Death—

Spring is approaching …

Wow, it's 2/2/2022 - what a tremendous sequence.
It speaks to me of a Twin Flame connection, but also maybe more that will unfold through the day.
What does it say to you?

You mean 22/2/2022 Wink Emoji

I feel twin flame energy too, a sense within of support. After what felt like turmoil or a cleansing the past weeks, there seems to be calm higher vibrational energy now. It's reflected in the weather, today is the first clear day here after three weeks of grey clouds, rain and storms. No wind for once, just a calm cool breeze, the sun softly glowing.

I fly to Mexico tonight, leaving things here behind for now. What a day.

Indeed a palindrome. 👍

To me it's also a boundary - marking the 2nd Gateway - an invitation to step up to the plate and cross.

There is a MOMENTUM building. Our hearts are beating a little louder, a little faster, a bit more unified. PEOPLE are FEELING into something that is much larger than simple comprehension. It comes to us in images, resonance, joy, and a fucking amazing inner-standing of that there is nothing left but to feel into humanity -- our sovereign expression of existing Heart 2.22.22 I was born at 2:22 -- this is my SOUL code -- my direct dial up number to source. I love you all so very much !! xoxoxox

When I finally realize, nobody can vibrate for me.

And I need no permission from another to just be.

I am simply flowing through all directions, and letting all directions flow through my being.

Personally, I don't get that there's "a virus going around that's infecting everyone". I believe what's really happening is the human body is reacting to increased emf due to the intro of 5Jeez. The body reconfigures and then releases RNA from the cells. But this "virus" is not transmissible. They proved that with the Spanish Flu after the introduction of radar in the Second World War. They took the mucus from one "infected" person and injected it into others. Not one person got sick because of the injected mucus.

Paradoxically though, what's happened to me, and what I'm also hearing from other people in the Openhand community, is that this increase in electrification causes the body to go into breakdown - you start confronting and stripping out all the subtle old consciousness enfolded through the years. It provides a massive clearing out process. Then the soul can embody even deeper - you infuse your body with the very latest soul harmony and configuration.

For me, this clearing process has been nothing short of miraculous.
I can't tell you how thankful I am that it happened.

Open 🙏

Finding it hard to stay on trail sometimes?

No matter, keep on exploring and illuminating with the light of awareness.

As the journey of soul leads to a pathless way - the formless expressed in all forms.

I often think we're just like pebbles on a beach trying to find our way home. The New Year Retreat group absolutely loved this one!!...

I saw it as a story told with the language of signs and synchronicities. And I just love the line "The feeling of hope almost has the same code as despair", well duuhh - with both of them being illusions that hides the truth of the moment!

The movie definitely helped resurrect a part of me that I was looking to retrieve, the nectar of the divine twin flame connection...

07/01/22: Openhand Journal Update - 5GATEWAYS

Here in the Openhand Team we're just gearing up for the new release of our 5GATEWAYS work - it's a core aspect of our philosophy. I can already feel the energy and excitement building. These are monumental times, and utterly essential we commit to the inner work so as to join the 5D Shift. One message I feel given to share with everyone is the importance of progressively raising your vibration so as to detach from the shadow aspect of society. Remember there's always essential cleansing and karmic release that is an ongoing process...

Let what's happening in the outer mirror of life in society trigger the density in you, yes. For this is where the buried nuggets of soul gold are to be found. But recognise that your ultimate truth is to be found within, and this is the place to centre in - to keep deepening into your Sacred Ground of Being. It's your divine "mast" as you sail through the Shift. And from that place, to breathe the light of the soul through your various bodily vehicles to illuminate and elevate all aspects of your life.

Upcoming 5GATEWAYS work in 2022

Amongst everything that's been happening on the surface, our web developers have been busily installing an upgraded operating system. Just as I was delivering my presentation and talking about the group of 9, they switched to Drupal 9!! But there have been a few communication errors happen over the years. Don't you just love synchronicity. Anyway, I'm sure seamless service will be restored any time soon.
