Light Warriors of the Shift: Fear Not, Everything is Perfect!

Submitted by Open on Thu, 03/09/2023 - 05:25

Here at Openhand we're truly blessed to connect with kindred spirits in the awakening movement around the world. Many look at the mess humanity has gotten into and wondering how we're going to find passage to a new shore, with the system is looking ever crazier by the minute. Yes, there's likely more instability ahead, but the other side of the coin is the crystal clear realisation of self, seeing what you are not, and unleashing the immaculate majesty of your being. That's the perfect possibility.

The carrot and the stick

I have to admit, sometimes I look at the enormity of the task we lightwarriors have taken on and it makes me balk a little, I have to step back a while for a breather. I look at the increasing craziness and society, I look at the shadow players spinning their stories and machinations, I see how plenty are still distracted in the drama.

Yet as I look deeper, I see the perfect conditions gathering. We now know that society doesn't serve us. We know that the controlled, conditioned and compartmentalised lifestyles only dehumanise and strip people of their divine sensitivity. But still there's the allurement, still there's the apparent dependency - the carrot and the stick - which makes people keep plugging away, nose to the grindstone believing that somehow the system will deliver their dream. So if the situation more strongly reveals its shadow side, to me that's definitely a good thing. The awakening ones can clearly see past these dancing veils.

Life is changing, we are changing. The Opposing Consciousness, that sustains the old reality, can feel it, and is thrashing around desperately clinging on, shadow and veil, to the old ways. Although it may look strong on the surface, it is struggling to maintain its agenda - it has to go all out now, only because it is already so exposed. So don't fear the bravado, the bluff and the BS - this blustery storm is running out of wind!

Increasingly the old reality is revealing its shocking shadow side, and that's a very good thing, because it makes the path away from that ever clearer. The new reality is coming increasingly into perception - through the inner gateways. You can't necessarily see the New Paradigm with 3D eyes (except in metaphor). We have to look beyond the unfolding physical drama and feel the unfurling higher dimensional dream within the story, both in our own lives and on the world stage.

We are definitely living in two worlds now!

How To Walk the Path of the Soul into 5D Consciousness

A Reason For Everything on the Soul's Path

Every single moment has a reason, a purpose, no matter how challenging or difficult that moment might be. We lose a job for example, relationships get difficult or break up, physical possessions challenge us like the car, the computer or the TV. Inconvenience seemingly messes with our lives. But there's always truth within the inconvenience.

When people come on our events and courses, which are all about aligning with and following the path of the soul, they pretty much always complete them with a deep inner yearning to truly follow their destined pathway in life. So sometime after the course has been completed, something unexpected will frequently happen to derail the old pathway - some kind of 'spanner in the works'...

Meditation and inner exploration will most definitely reveal the higher self energies we're looking to integrate. But it's their practical application into daily life where we attain true mastery of self. What are the challenges of interpersonal relationships or of your career? Above all, what happens to you when things go wrong? Do you lose it, do you flap? Or do you see it as an opportunity to soften and go deeper still, to unfold a priceless new quality?

Explore Openhand's Advanced Spiritual Course Program

Expand Consciousness into the moment

So when (supposedly) 'negative' things happen to me these days, I immediately embrace the opportunity, I drop deeper into the feeling of the moment within my body and expand into it. Often a wry smile arises spontaneously from within, "Okay, so what spanner in the works has the Opposing Consciousness sent me this time?" "What am I supposed to get, what can I learn?"

I let go of any perceived need for an outcome and instead look for the deeper possibility of being. I don't resist the flow, the natural organising energy of the moment - that which is backed by signs and synhcronicity. Instead, I work with exactly what's happening, using ever-increasing awareness to intuit the new lessons, the new possibilities: You lose a really expensive pair of headphones - it's a fairly small thing really in the grand scheme, but even this has a message - perhaps you're supposed to tune into your higher dimensional guidance more attentively?

Always, but always, it works - an answer follows. It may challenge us yes, but then we wouldn't develop without the challenge - if these situations didn't feel very real (like your financial circumstances for example), then we wouldn't have the motivation to change. And I've learned to trust - at the very deepest levels. I have an idea of what I'm here to do. Even if what's currently happening doesn't at first appear to be taking me in that direction, I realise that the thousand-mile journey would not be completed without each step, without every twist and turn.

Dropping ever deeper into Presence

I've realised that the one true thing that can solve all our problems, unwind all our knots and balance all our equations is increasing presence. The moment purposefully reveals your blind spots - where you identify, where you might get owned by the illusion. So I look for those places and drop deeper into them.

Dear friends our discomfort is a priceless gift! Society so often wants to take it away, "pop the pill", get desensitised, but the short-term pain is our passage to lasting freedom and evolutionary growth. Whenever you hit the 'blind spot' and tighten down it's exactly this situation which provides a priceless opportunity to evolve and grow. So don't fear it and push it away, instead embrace it, every nuance of what's now unfolding - see it as part of the path, then reclaim the priceless empowering gift that it is concealed within that particular step.

When I do this, you hit this immaculate point, that you all know, where the penny drops, you reintegrate that lost fragment of soul and now you're suddenly riding high on higher dimensional thermals. You can feel the expansion, the 5D wind beneath your wings. Suddenly the challenge all makes sense, the density falls away from you. You experience indescribable joy at reunification with the divine. It matters not if you've just physically lost something - this was the price you paid to unleash another immaculate divine aspect of self.

It's all about our Ascension of Consciousness, because that's what's changing life right now in unprecedented ways. It's time to begin your shift into the New Paradigm and progressively transcend into the new landscape in the process. That's the golden opportunity available to us right now...

If you feel inspired by my sharing, explore the work of Openhand. It's perfectly timed and specifically crafted to meet these times of profound evolutionary change...

Dear Open ,

Thank you so much for the above article. I am continuing to bounce in and out of” karmic crystallisations” and yes ,I am able to occasionally see the rather humorous nature of my challenges as also the attachments to the “ way it is “ i seem to automatically refer to as reality .

After another break up with my (karmically entangled) boyfriend I have gotten down to the basics . The Bow every single day . And after 2 weeks I am feeling so many rather wondrous things during meditation. As I develop ( painfully slowly ) the ability to STAY with the sensations of my reactions ,I get the image again and again of how unleashing the symphony of the soul means accepting all the notes ESPECIALLY the rather “ low” bass notes . I envisioned today how digging deeper roots automatically helps my branches grow upwards and also gives me the reliance to deal with all the circumstances of my life that are being thrown at me .

As I breathe so many colours appear . Today morning I felt as though my vertebrae moved into a crystallised state and yesterday its like I was hearing a frequency of the heavens .Sacred geometry appears and seems to radiate though certain dimensions . and sometimes its almost as if I can resonate some vibrations into the ether. I continue to work in probably the densest vibrations- a hospital in the centre of a busy city in India and seem to be mediating it with the help of my star seed daughter and soulful dog :)

So much has changed within me ,I am developing the ability to catalyse those around me in addition to the empathy that is very much a feature of my soul. These days I feel very much like a wolf ,strong and kind ,yet powerful and effective ,maternal and loyal ,yet fierce .

We were made for these days ! I feel it in my bones !

This is tremendous Megha - what a rich and colourful journey you are on 👍

What speaks to me from what you're sharing, is that the sense of the Andromedan is taking over from the Old Annunaki. How does that sound?

I'll be fascinated to see how it continues to unfold.

Well wishes

The journey, what is it really all about?

You'll have recognised by now that the real journey of life is the inner one, because that's where the whole universe is to be found. And the wonderful paradox is, that as you engage it in any given moment, then you're consciously creating the journey into the external, for everything shapes around your inquiry.

For many a time you'll likely bounce in and out though - still believing there's an "out there" to fix, to control, to cajole. That's the grand illusion. Yes, there is expression of being, actualisation of self, here and now, but to be authentic, to be really real, is for that to crystallise from the internal illumination.

You bounce in and out, getting caught up in the karmic crystallisations, the delusion of small self identity, until you realise these too are an essential part of the journey: they're where you dig up the buried fragments of soul gold - they're where you liberate the tethering that ties you into falsehood and limitation. So you learn to dig in, with the equanimity of the One, and sure enough, the more commitment and focus you bring, you'll connect up the dots ever faster until you're reintegrating and riding the shiny new soul vibes.

These breakthroughs are a double sided coin: you'll want to resist sinking into them like the murky depths of a swamp. But on the other side, is such freedom, such expansion, such joy, that you steadily recognise the ride was totally worth it. And what's more, you won't have to revist that particular "swamp" any more. Instead you're riding high on the cool breeze of interperceptive nuances, nods and reflection, uplifting signs and synchronicity.

It's when you recognise, and finally settle into, the realisation that there's nothing else but this interconnective journey going on, that life really takes off for you. You bob and weave, duck and dive, process through density, come up shining, contract expand, ebb and flow, and every single nuance of it, the dark and the light, makes perfect sense.

You are You, the equanimity, yet having the ride of your life!

Open 🙏

I shot this video in a brief window of time on my way to the airport immediately after one of the Openhand retreats on the sunny Island of La Palma. I wanted to capture the sense of "the journey", how the inner informs into the outer and provides reflections of what to unravel through and how to actualise your 5D being here and now. See what you pick up from it...

Hey O, I have something to run past you and the community for some insight.

2 weeks ago 2 of my dogs got out and went on an adventure and only one came back.

I have been grief stricken as he is such a beautiful scoobydoo dog and a big part of my furry fam. I have been driving myself crazy with worry about him getting a dog bait which are prevalent around here and lots of vicious roaming wild dog packs or him being helpless and injured somewhere etc etc.

I cry alot and miss him terribly as do the other furry fam members.

Over the last few days I have been disciplining myself to not think about all the horrible outcomes that may have befallen him as it just totally derailes me and i become incapacitaed. So that is something in all this .

I know everything has a reason for happening but i have been so swallowed by grief i dont seem to be able to see whats what in this. There must be some gold in the midst of such a painful experience, that I do know!

Any insight would be appreciated.

Btw-thanks for the above article and all you put out there for us travellers.

Namaste

Erin 💚🐎🌳

I felt to revise and share this article above today as we begin another week, just to remind everyone to see the golden opportunity of our times, the silver lining in every cloud. Remember always in this great unravelling shift: it's not about what you gain or lose "out there", it's the immaculate growth opportunity "in here". Then you'll always win, you'll always come up smiling.

Thank you for sharing this and what a beautiful synchronicity and insight. You say dreams offer deeper messages; its funny that everytime there is some kind of important decision to make in a challenging situation I dream of birds! Lots of them! They remind me how to be the 'big I' which for me, resides in the 'no I'.

Oh my, yes, it is heart wrenching to really awaken to the reality of this world and whats happening to Gaia. But the heart is awakening and so is the mind and the gut, exactly as you are describing! We choose to follow the souls calling to be the 'big I'.

With love and friendlinessHeart

Rayko,

Lovely to see you sharing :) Very much enjoyed what you called your 'ramble' - it has a heartfelt authentic vibe to it and it brought a smile to my face. I also like your humour!

I see that your sharing culminated in thinking about The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch - how's so?? That caught my attention, Im very curious. This is a very surreal painting and at the same time very prophetic. I can see freedom of expression in it and also a sense of rediscovery, a rebirth.

Are you seeing that we are living in the second panel of the artist's triptych?? Interesting :)

With gratitude for an interesting sharing,

Aspasia

Hey Aspasia,

Sorry for the slow reply, I don't know why but I sometimes take ages to respond but at least I like to write lengthy replies that are hopefully worth reading rather than quick instant replies of meaninglessness.... I once I saw somewho answear a question on Quora and it took him 2 years to answear the question, but it was seriously good reply! There was soo much information it was incredible! And don't wory, I won't take two years but his reply keeps making me think about the internet and old school style physical mail. It used to take like weeks to send a letter to someone, and with a delay of weeks you better write something worth reading to those who you wish to communicate. Where as now people sit waiting for a text and then instantly reply to it.... Dunoo, but I keep thinking of this ^.^ and when I was on the train going back home I drafted the thing below after seeing you had written something on here:

What I seem to experience is a disillusionment between being aware and not aware; the difference between observing every door & window of every single train carriage that passes in front of me until the door I am to enter arrives and opens, or switching off from the intensity and letting it all pass in a blur until the door I am to enter to arrives and opens. Then, initiate movement of legs forward! Find a space to occupy in the train, and with headphones blarring my electronic music I wonder;

So what is the difference between me trying to live a happier life and an algorithm trying to adjust its controllable parameters in order to achieve its desired output or function?

Google adverbs tracking you in order to show you what you like; it seems that this information is ulta-valuable to the big corporations of our human society. The whole collective and me; I seem to place little importance on the forward momentum of my being, wondering how the collective is being steered o.O All of us I see....
Once in a dream I sensed a primordial sadness of the zero: it was lonely ??? So it created the One. But Two popped up, and this bloody prime of Three ? aaaa what the hell? The more the merrier at any party is the moto of the Buddhists I know....
...
...
...
Oh shit, we are over-populated ?????

Well don't worry! Actually we have reached peak child; there is about 2 billion children aged 0 to 15 and this number will not rise, meaning eventually the same number of people dying will be the same as the number being born. At the moment more people are being born than dying, coz the ones that were born who are dying now were born in fewer numbers... End of train ramble Tears
So we are gona be in panel two of the Earthly delights for a little while longer. And to me it is really obvious that we living there since every day there I have to walk past about 100 people in about 50 meters when it is a week day. During the weekend these 50 meters might have about 200 people. We evolved to live in hunter-gatherer communities of about 100-200 people, and now you can walk past that many people in about 5-10 mins in any city during a normal usual rush hour. But these rush hours always come in waves, and in the Earthly delights you see people being clumped together rather than being evenly distrubuted in the painting.
And then you just get these random bits where you see two people on a pretty white horse with flower thing over the top parts of their bodies not really able to see (just below the circular swimming pool thing in 2nd panel). I walk outside my house and then I see these two people in a pretty white lamborghini looking at their phones not really able to see forward (they weren't driving).
Plus at the top of those tower things, you see a few people. They seem to be doing alright and a few even fly; The Oligarchs of our society. I have heard of them and it is possible that they are on TV, high up where everyone can see them.

With wishes of awesomeness and smiles,

Rayko

Hey Rayko,

I wonder 'where you are' right now in your inquiries...mmm very intrigued because allowing time/space between communications is such an amazing catalyst for insight and transformation!

Personally, I was in La Palma for about 3 weeks, a stark contrast to the busyness of the Chinese tube/train stations (and London ones!). Your inner and outer 'train inquiries (ramble)' are magnificent! This indeed had me laughing!:

I appreciate the lightness you bring to the stuck-ness experienced in the world.

Yes, I can see the reflection you see in panel two of the Earthy Delights. You say:

And then you just get these random bits where you see two people on a pretty white horse with flower thing over the top parts of their bodies not really able to see (just below the circular swimming pool thing in 2nd panel). I walk outside my house and then I see these two people in a pretty white lamborghini looking at their phones not really able to see forward (they weren't driving).

Upon reading this, I immediately remembered a story I heard earlier today about an Indian millionaire who had asked a Swami (holy man) to come for a ride with him in his new, shiny lamborghini and bless it. The Swami accepted the invitation and while on the drive people looked very baffled as to what a holy man was doing in an expensive car like this. The Swami could see their expressions of utter surprise and confusion only to reassure them that he was there for the sole purpose of offering his blessings. When the Swami said to the millionaire that it was time to get back to the monastery, a moment of silence followed and then the millionaire burst into heartfelt tears. Apparently, the millionaire's wife had filed for divorce and he was feeling the painful loss of his wife and kids. No 'lamborghini' could soothe the grief. I find this story adjacent to the image you shared with the people in the white lamborghini, in that we are all blessed to see the Truth should we choose to and should we open up to the reflections offered by the Universe in the world out there.

Awesome, thank you, with many blessings and smiles :) x

Yea, keeping the level! I don't know why but I want to talk about this now :/

You can like meditate, face the fear, break through the limitations,

and then what? Well this is the issue I faced o.O

I used to be motivated with doing stuff such that the life of others is a bit better. But then again, I find it pointless now... I think playing with a bit of blue tac and a few toothpicks to be more rewarding, if I really feel like playing with such objects, than creating a tool that will serve someone....

but then as I write this, it becomes obvious why! To serve someone means to be their slave basically, soo I am just enslaving some objects, they may be photons of light and electrical signals in wires, but they were enslaved...

I don't know... To keep the level! You can break through the shells of your own limitations, but then I rebuilt some of them o.O

Strange...

Sorry for this super delayed response! Sadly it wasn't the postman, it was me being not cool Confounded FaceConfounded FaceConfounded FaceConfounded FaceConfounded Face

Hi Rayko,

So clearly you've become somewhat disillusioned! That's okay, it's going to happen from time to time. Just work to remember it's all a story, and not who you are.

And what's the point of breaking through?

You become progressively more of yourself. How can that not be worthwhile?

Perhaps then, you were expecting some result from all this, some outcome?

It's all about you, being you, and expressing you.

So maybe turn attention to that, and let the rest be an affect of your unfolding.

Wishing you well

Yeah...

I am not sure I'd use the word "disillusioned", I'd use the word lazy and unmotivated... But also yes, I was hoping for an outcome; an outcome of not wanting to go back home by myself again, I just want a partner to hold hands with....... someone I can hug and use as a pillow.... someone to care about not knocking when sleeping....

As a child, when I played computer games I always liked playing the character designated as the "tank", the guy with a shield and heavy armour that takes the most amount of damage on behalf of the team. And it always felt pointless to take damage if my team wasn't there, just a waste....

Sort of pointless to cary that armour if there is no one else to protect... so it felt pointless to meditate and eat healthy food, there was no one else to hold hands with. No one else to dance with, no one else to cry with, no one else fart with....

Ahhh just fanciful notions about a romantisized fantasy that will surely amount to disappointment.... but I do have an observation; every time I get attached to a girl, if times of stress arive, may it be a deadline, moving far away or just organizing a party, the girl I am attached starts to pull away... Everytime! I liked one girl, I started writing my thesis and she stopped speaking to me. I moved to Hong Kong and faced big cultural shock and stress (there is few potatoes here, and that is my favourite food!!!!), another girl I was attached to stopped speaking to me. My first ever girlfriend, she broke up with me when I had to give a presentation to the Hong Kong government justifiing why they were paying me.... And, you guessed what is happening now hahaahah.

Anyways, I want to share a quote I found on the internet, a quote from 1986:

To Dr. Ehrlich, to look to technology for the answer to the loss of biological diversity would be ''a lethal mistake.'' He said that some steps could be taken to ameliorate the crisis but that what was needed is ''a revolution in attitudes toward other people, human numbers, what human life is for and the intrinsic value of organic diversity."

https://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/28/us/action-is-urged-to-save-species.h…

The reason I share it is I feel that all those scientists, they had their fanciful notions that society would listen to them back then. That their voices would be heard and people might change their attitudes. Ah the disappointment they felt SweatSweatSweatSweatSweatSweatSweatSweat

It seems that society thinks there is 26 pages of information more important than "We have entered the 6th mass extinction because we are killing things", and even then this information uses about 15% of the page, with 70% of the page being a picture of a pretty woman with no relation to this article...

Thanks for having this website dude!!! It really is a hidden gem in this cyberspace!

Rayko

ps. Isaac Newton predicted the end of the current world to be at 2060. OOO do you think he got the pole flip date correct?

Hey Rayko, dude! I am on your team, not sure about armor. I find hilarious how you express your challenges. I would the humor and lightness will carry you through the challenges!

On related note, by the time i am finished writing here about 100 stadium size lots of trees has been gone (one every second in 2017) so I think we are going there pretty fast.

Hi Rayko,

Great to see you're 'still alive'!

It sounds like you're being presented with lots of frustrations where, understandably, it's hard to sit still!!

Remember always - the pain (in the ass) is the place where the light enters!

Seriously though, as we know, the places where we get tight offer the greatest opportunity to expand and grow. Then as we do, magical things come our way.

Great to connect

My left speaker has broken, now it makes a terrible white noise. I kept thinking there is a problem with the ground connection in the amplifier circuit hahaha, but I checked and I think it is probably a burned out component :/ My throat has been feeling itchy for a while now, maybe it will burn out o.O

Claiming back from my new university is pretty dam slow, they take like 2 months to place an order (which is about 10 clicks and takes about 5 mins of work to actually to do). What the hell do they do? It feels a bit rude to ask them directly hahahahahaha, but maybe I will cool

Had an operation on my bum to remove an ingrown hair that turned into a massive blocked pore. It was like the hugest spot you had ever seen! It has been growing for about 4 years hahah, so it was huge and too deep under skin to really pop like a normal spot. So now I can't sit properly, but I've not been able to sit down properly for the last 4 years so hahahaha. Anyways, 3 weeks after the operation I kissed the girl that is now my first girlfriend laugh

My dad always shouting at the world.... Dam it! (>;<) He has a serious case of the "victim mentality" syndrome thingy (you think the entire world is out there trying to get you). The extremest case of his syndrome is he started shouting at the world because he thought he was going to get fired, when actually he didn't even read the subject title of the email and only read that it was from his boss.... I guess something about having a dad who has serious stress issues and then shouts really loudly at those close to him, is a bit a annoying. But I guess it is good training coz now people can shout at me and I don't really contract down, I just sit there shrugging my shoulders waiting for the person to chill out.... But I feel a bit embarrassed to bring him to Hong Kong from the UK since I know he will get lost and start shouting really loudly everyone (which would be my mum and her sister).

I don't know the point of this ramble, I keep thinking about "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch as of recent..... Living in the busiest district in the world (Mong Kok, Hong Kong according to Google), yea it could not be more in your face that we are living in the 2nd panel! Yet I feel sad since you can see China slowly swallowing the Hong Kong people.... and I think the HongKonese do pertain the nice qualities of the European people (open mindness to other cultures, and on average they marry after education) and the nice qualities the Chinese people (close family is everything and there is an absence of drugs here), soo I feel sad to see this..... Yesterday I wanted to watch the how the shadows cast by ours buildings slowly move across my field of view (a lovely tropical valley), of course I got distracted with the hundreds of people around me, but it was nice to just stare at some trees and stuff for like 35 mins hahah.

Still alive,

yours trully;

Hi Anatoly,

I would say the 'power cable' metaphor relates to kundalini flowing from the source within. If we have fixed relationships with the world, then it retards and blocks the flow of energy. It seems you realised internally what realignment needed to be done - great job!

I certainly had a wild ride so far since some challenges in personal relationship came into my life. Now that i look back at it, there were couple of unrelated events which preceded it and didn't make sense at the time. One time at night, we woke up of loud short circuit of the main electrical wire to the house. The other one was even stranger: old man in the car hit the power pole next to our house on a quite street that we live on. At the time, i didn't not connect these events or didn't know what they are supposed to mean.

The challenges were building as a tidal wave one after another and the more i persisted or denied more painful it became until i accepted the challenge head on. The illusion burst over time in succession one after another. I came to accept the situation and didn't need it go away. It felt like i didn't have to drop the hot coals - they just cooled down in my hands over time. I am still in the midth of it but mostly processed. I realized it is still possible to have a relationship without attachment as long as you are accepted and have space to evolve and grow.

Also, looking back at it - it was like sometimes i was looking forward to new challenges and trying to make the most of the opportunities presented, was pulled to the core of it. Interestingly that the challenges would keep coming back until i got it. Syncronistically, i found Openhand and was reading the 5 Gateways book when it all started so that certainly helped. Thank you Open and Openhand!

With Love,

Anatoly
