A crossroads in our evolution Our way of life on this planet is becoming increasingly unsustainable. We have created a reality founded on Industrial Consumerism where control, manipulation and exploitation of our natural resouces has brought us to the brink of existence.

At Openhand we advocate going within and discovering the pathway to a higher vibrational reality based on unconditional love, joy and mutual respect for all life; a place where we discover less is more. These articles offer a view on current World News, invite people to question the viability of our current system and instead embark on the inner journey to self completeness...

I felt to share this amazingly powerful video by the famous Buddhist Alan Watts - an amazing character, with a core splitting, clear view of life and the world. In it, he sums up so eloquently in my opinion why humanity is in the mess it's in, and offers profound insight in how our biggest issues may be resolved.
