There's never nothing going on! 🌅

I've been camping out on the wonderful Dartmoor and woke up to a spectacular sunrise with something gently nudging the front of my car - a young bull!!...
It reminded me of this great scene from peaceful warrior. There's never nothing going on!...
Always ask: "why did I manifest it?"
Comment
The most empowering thing we can do in life, when we hit those challenged and troubling moments, is to ask: "why did I manifest it?" Because you always did. Taking ownership means that you now have the capacity to be the master of the situation rather than the victim.
So why do we manifest such challenges?
The answer is simple: where is it creating tightness?
Where are you identifying with the situation?
Can you now work to let go in that place?
It's not easy. But then forging something of great value (the soul) never is!

Developing discipline with flowing rhythm
Comment
Today I've explored the essential importance of discipline in our daily evolutionary practice...
5D Ascension: Developing Your Daily 5D Shift Practice
However I find discipline must be blended with rhythm and flow. Meaning that whatever practice you develop for yourself must be allowed to adapt and evolve. Otherwise it becomes hard and rigid - too conditioning and limiting of the expansion of consciousness.
In today's world, discipline and focus are utterly essential,
but blended with openness and flow.

"Nobody's chasing you" - Confronting the shadow of the self
Comment
Sometimes, there is really nobody to run from but the shadow of the self.
When the false grandiosity of the ego falls away, the grief and pain of trauma underneath may well wash over.
But in our essence, we are beautiful beyond measures - an unique aspect of absolute truth (all there is) embodied and expressed in the one moment that stretches into eternity, and the love we are worthy of need no attachments, nor conditions...I believe it simply arises from within through a deep embrace and surrender (of control) to all manifested experiences.
To me, I find this clip below speaking strongly about confronting the shadow and accepting the moment as it is...

Dream space groovin'
In reply to Alan Watts - perfect video for the dreamspace by Open
Comment
Haha, love this one too Open! Thanks so much for sharing, I've been looking to find it.
To me it is just so important to find that inner groove which helps propel us into the dream space, there in a state of flowing awareness density and karmic energy in the lower realms is more easily processed and moved, and revelations and insights from the higher mind more readily received.
And if one is consciously tuned into the source pain in this state, yet keeps the waking-dream flowing through, perhaps they can then begin to integrate fragmented soul too! Although I reckon that would feel vastly different for each individual...and in my case it just feels like 2 souls acting in one field with one helping the other integrate the remaining fragments so that the "previous" one that wishes to move on can fully do so. It is quite a tricky situation to wrap (or unwrap) my head around sometimes, and I'm also open to the possibility of it not being so (in which case de Nile is still a river in Egypt sometimes), but the access to the dream space has definitely helped me loads through the process.
I'd love to hear any reflections if it resonates!
Blending nature with tech

Comment
Hi Lyra - you always have this amazing propensity to blend nature with tech in a very workable way.
That's an artucrian trait, right?!
Open 😉
Yes that could be
In reply to Blending nature with tech by Open
Comment
Ah, thanks Open! Yes, I suppose one might say that's a Sirian trait also, or even Lyran - if I do say so myself.
I did get to meet a group of Arcturians once on their ship though - in dream time. And the chaps had a good laugh about me asking to see the "bible" (mind you, the real one), lol. But perhaps that was from another life...

The concept of choice?
Comment
An aligned choice?
In reply to The concept of choice? by Open
Comment
Hi all,
Little confused by the concept of choice, if I'm honest. Isn't an aligned choice, underpinned by a sense of rightness, still a choice nonetheless?
Sometimes, if it feels the decision flows from the soul, the choice presents itself effortlessly but at a later point it becomes evident that other factors were at play - fears, insecurities, mental confusion - exerting an influence, whether knowingly or not.
I guess in the bigger picture, no matter what the outcome, it can be seen as a route to self realisation.
Conscious awareness - a true choice - not to fight the flow 🏄♀
In reply to An aligned choice? by Andy (not verified)
Comment
Is an aligned choice still a choice?
Consider it this way - a being may have spent some considerable time making choices that were not in alignment with their soul - just as nearly 8 billion people on the planet. And so lots of tension is built inside, kind of like a toy aeroplane with the elastic band going up the middle. You wind it up with tension. But then the aligned choice is just to let go and fly with the flow. Now the plane - the soul - simply flys by letting go. It's really a conscious awareness - a true choice - not to fight the flow.
Best wishes
Open 🙏
Connecting through polarities
Comment
I feel that sometimes we can take on emotional energies/projections and even old programmings from others that neither belong nor serve, especially if it's family members from a direct line where there are still bloodline karma to resolve.
So my inquiry was, how to effectively channel it away?
To me, one must not fear the serpent (which represents here karma/deception on this plane, the body elementals and kundalini), and penetrate into that layer of the pain (emotional/mental/physical) with soul awareness. Like a cobweb that is simply not fitted to hold a new catch, the old constraints will break apart and fall away as our full beingness gets embodied and animated.
Then it's time to ride that ouroboros light-express, through the chakras to the heavens and underworld, and let the energies we picked up go where they belong!
This music here had catalyzed a sense of that energy work for me today...
Channeling away dense energy - You're talking about the Torus
In reply to Connecting through polarities by Lyra
Comment
Hi Lyra - I'd say you're talking about the Torus. Becoming as-nothing in it all whereupon the Torus activates in your field and channels away denser energies naturally.
We must become as-one with all life, standing your ground yes, but not polarising, judging, condeming or projecting. We recognise the other as an aspect of our greater self...
It was the Torus indeed
In reply to Channeling away dense energy - You're talking about the Torus by Open
Comment
Hi Open - yes I was talking about the Torus indeed! Just seeing if I could express the sense of it in another way - glad that you got what I was saying.
There are also healing codes contained in presentations of the serpent (such as Rainbow Serpent/ Dragon's breath) that I felt was relevant to working with the Torus for me. But yes, totally agree - become as-one with all, and as-nothing in all, that sweet timeless teachings from Morgan le Fay and Merlin of the now.

The dance of shadow and light - an invitation for alchemy
Comment
Wow, what a wrap-up for the past few days. Profound gratitude for all whom I've had the fortune to travel alongside on this wondrous and festive Avalon Rising journey, and to Open and the Openhand crew as well for hosting and providing such a well-supported platform through which the group could journey and inquire! And to Huzy, Aspasia and Jont, you guys are all shinning stars, such inspiring performances. I'm missing everyone already, but also knowing the feeling sense of it all can always be found within.
And something I've also wanted to share was, even if not everyone will have noticed (or agree) - at the closing performance by the immensely talented Jont, the presence of shadow energies that are likely anchored in altered-state experiences where consciousness hasn't fully infused, certainly spiced things up in the ether! I've known these energies well on my own journey, and the risk here was getting pulled out of body by a immense sense of joy and tranquility, in avoidance of unrealized parts within one's own body-mind field.
Still, to me, joy and ecstatic feelings from music (and all soulful expressions) are to be experienced and expressed to the fullest. Perhaps all it takes is some dedicated inward attention and a heartful of self-love (I'm thinking Christ consciousness and Twin Flame connection here) to stay in the body while doing so, even amongst the density and heaviness in that reality layer. And the shadow energies themselves are also profound reflections to work with - so as to drop identification to the polarities within ourselves.
Any reflection is welcome here. Let's get alchemising folks!

Profoundly intimate connection with self
Comment
I just realised how much all those memes of Openhand wisdom here below are relevant to my experiences I am in and going through right now...
Confronting the pain triggered by the karma and letting to break down all levels of false self can lead to reaching new depths of the relationship with self, with own soul. It can bring to the new feeling of profound intimacy with and touch of, what we call in Openhand, the sacred ground of being so deeply that it is welling up in the expression of tears because of that beauty.
Lots of love to all fellow travellers
a deep exploration and realisation into self 👌

Sometimes it feels like I'm born of frustration! (video)
Comment
This is a powerful song for me. If you have catalytic qualities (we all do to varying degrees), then you're often likely to butt up against the rigidity of the system - especially now in society!
But this frustration is the means by which we polish the diamond and unleash new aspects of beingness.
When we recognise this, it makes the cauldron a lot more manageable!

"Fate?" - "Reality"
Comment
"What's happened, happened.
Which is an expression of faith in the mechanics of the world. It's not an excuse to do nothing."
I just love this final scene from Christopher Nolan's Tenet.
Does Neil's energy here remind anyone of lightworkers taking on the benevolent mission on Earth? It sure does to me, haah! ...
We are the protagonists of our individual unfoldings.
It's like you reverse out of it and come back to who you are

Yes I watched this film too - intriguing for sure.
What i took from it was that when you are in the truth, it's like a meme that unravels reality - it's like you reverse out of it and come back to who you are.

Why hope is your enemy not your friend!
Comment
How often do you hear about having "hope" in life, in this or that?
The problem with hope is that you're living in the expectation of an illusionary reality,
which may well not come true.
Furthermore, and most importantly, hope takes you out of the truth of the moment;
meaning you're less likely and able to feel the subtle perceptions and nuances of the flow -
you're more likely to fall off the wave!
That's why hope, just as much as fear, is your enemy - the enemy of truth.
Can you be equanimous in the moment?
Neither in fear nor hope,
but completely in the moment, feeling the truth of the wave as it really is.
"You'll be simply amazed at what you can do and how well you can do it..."
Each day a little bit deeper...
Comment
It's getting tough now, to all except those in avoidance or denial,
(denial is not just a river in Egypt!)
But I tell you that's okay.
Let it grind you. If there's anything resisting inside, anything identifying, that's where to work.
Do you want it to be easier? Do you want it to go away? Who does?
It's only ever identity. And identity, no matter how compelling, is NOT your friend.
The only strength is true surrender - to having deepened and ground down right into the truth.
Surrender, not as in the acceptance of anything goes,
But, surrender to the step you know in your heart of hearts is right.
It's never easy, seldom convenient, but it is the way.
Ours is a curious existence right now.
It will be founded more on loss than gain...
The more you lose but can let go, the more you will gain.
What else enduring can there be, but the immaculate forging of soul?
So, when the water rises, swim...
Open 🙏
Flower in the winds

Sometimes I feel like a single flower blown by strong wild winds. Will I be able to withstand another storm? or will I be broken by the relentless winds and left alone to die?
Much love Keep strong Stay in the Light

That's beauiful - thanks so much for sharing 👍
It's fine being blown along by the winds providing they're the right winds.
It's fine being broken too, providing it's the shadow you break.
Dieing is also fine. It's the living death to beware of.

The incaculable value of immediately confronting fear...
Comment
There's an incalculable value of immediately confronting fear when it arises.
Turn into it. Feel where it triggers inside. Soften into it. Summon the inner will of the soul to step in that direction and you'll be simply amazed at what unfolds on the other side.
True mastery of self...

I used to let the sense of fear from the impending 3D challenges paralyze me into a sense of futility - the “pointlessness” justifying not doing anything at — how fitting that I liquidated my old 401k in favor of ... wait for it ... a beach house 😆
it radiates a sense of joy in me that is shared naturally with others

I'm sure it's the perfect choice.
What I really meant was sharing a message who're effortling to gain that rather than pursuing the journey of the soul.
Clearly your beach house is the journey of your soul.

A sense of the Quantum Field
Comment
Linear time is just an illusion of the lower mind.
The forward and backward flows into one.
The heart, is where the part of ourselves that is living in time, meet the part of ourselves that dwells beyond time.
So always feel it, and not try only to understand.
To shoot the bullet, is to catch the bullet.
Divine manifestation happens through alignment of being.
P.S, Apparently I can't spell "Quantum", LOL. It's fixed now.
Let's not get embroiled in the drama out there folks!
Comment
Let's not get embroiled in the drama out there folks - the shadow energies are ramping up the distraction. Be clear, that if you invest all your energy in trying to counter the narrative, you're still giving energy to it!
Notice and feel the boulders yes, but work with nature to attune to the natural flow of ascending energies. Then you'll create in alignment...
