So the world has practically come to a standstill due to the Coronavirus. Whilst I strongly believe that it's been engineered for controlling reasons and especially the reaction to it (see some eye opening evidence below), nevertheless, there is a silver lining to every cloud. Families are back together again. The matrix madness has ground to a halt. Nature is taking a desperately required breather - the birds are singing stronger! Most of all, it will give people the chance to reflect upon what's truly important in their lives.

Wouldn't that be great...

I oriignally wrote this article back in 2014 about the inexorable rise of cryptocurrency and it's value as a means of getting away from Central Banking Hegemonay. Cryptocurrencies offer the potential for people to trade and exchange with each other across decentralised platforms on a new technology basis called "Blockchain", which has the capacity to overturn technological dominance by silicon valley. Although big institutions are now beginning to take cryptocurrency seriously, and likely seek to influence its growth, nevertheless, it's highly likely to be a new way for us to trade with each other in the future, and especially beginning now, as fiat currency deflates due to excessive bailout funding in the wake of the recent virus pandemic.

I get the sense that 2020 will be a highly alchemical and transformative year in the 5D Shift. It feels like the waves of the old construct, and those aligning with the New Paradigm of interconnected possibility will diverge more strongly. The shadow side will make itself increasingly evident in its misaligned outlandishness. Plenty in the mainstream will be clinging tighter on, as the sands of time slip ever quicker through grasping fingers. But consciousness is shifting to the higher vibration now. And so for those following Earth's realigning flow, there is much to be realised, much illumination, much to be gained.

In this growing divergence that 2020 represents, it's essential therefore to align your flow accurately. Here's insight into fulfilling that...

We are no longer on the cusp of great change in the World. We are no longer on the brink. We are RIGHT IN the midst of the most powerful Transmutation process in the Earth's history. On the surface it is far from petty: climate crisis, environmental destruction, financial instability and political insanity, it's enough to make an angel weep! But did we expect the world's shift to higher 5D consciousness to be all roses and light? What we need right now are the mirrors. We need the reflections to let go of the collapsing old world order that's become decrepid and defunct. Let that be the inspiration to decide: to take back power, take centre stream, and make your life epic!

Here at Openhand we're sitting in snow on the windswept hills of Dartmoor. We're empathising with tens of millions in the USA affected by the recent polar vortex, which has seen cities like Chicago drop to under minus 50 celsius wind chill. That's colder than the top of Everest, colder than the Arctic itself right now! It's a huge inconvenience to society, yet I encourage us all to embrace the mirrors only we have created. Of course this is climate change related, due to the progressive slowing of the jetstream. But what can we positively learn from it about our deep core spirituality? Let's take maximum opportunity from the mirror, and grow as spiritual beings in the process...

For the last week I’ve been high. Not from any artificial stimulant or even a wonderful experience. It’s simply from having the space to express my passions and finally seeing that expression manifest in the physical world – an expressing that will touch the world in a positive way. Now, after a week the high is coming back down. Not that it will be replaced by a low as with so many artificial highs or even the after effects of wonderful experiences. This high has come about simply by letting the energy that is ‘me’ flow out into the world, from which I know there is an infinite source.

So where does true passion come from?

There was something totally captivating about the rescue of the young Tai football team, trapped underground, in water filled tunnels for over 9 days, with little food or clean water, in the dark, awaiting a perilous rescue attempt. Cometh the hour, cometh the person: in this case, a young Buddhist Monk, the Team coach, who kept the boys centred and trusting, through meditation and calmness. The metaphor is beyond words. He was in the 'right' place at the right time, just as you and I will be, when our time comes in this great shift of consciousness happening across the earth. What an inspiration.

I just came across this awesome video, put to the music track, "Are we Human or are we Dancers?" Check it out, it has some amazingly inspirational clips celebrating just what it means to be "human". But then also, you get a great sense of something beyond. And that's what I often feel about this curious experience of 'being human'. It feels, at times, very dense and physical, hence we can dance!

In case you weren't aware, one of the biggest synchronicities that times exactly with accelerating climate change, is the accelerating pole shift. As this unfolds, the earth's magnetic shield lowers, which increases the transformation effect on our biosphere from cosmic radiation. That's clearly now on the increase. It's why volcanic and earthquake activity are also escalating. Personally I find it amazing that society continues with 'business as usual', in the wake of the gathering 'perfect storm'. It's time to reappraise how we spend our lives and what are the true priorities?

Hey spiritual folk! Have you got your head around "cryptocurrency" yet? I wouldn't blame you for a minute if you hadn't - all that techno jargon could be enough to put any sensitive soul off. But hang in there just a minute, if you can, because I feel given to represent a view that cryptocurrency is certainly one signal, that reflects a mobile shift of resources and energy from the old world, 3D consciousness, and towards more 5D consciousness. Why do I say that? Let me put it as simply as possible, with minimal techno jargon.

Update note: Since I wrote this article back in 2018, the revelance of cryptocurrency and the blockchain tecnology has greatly enhanced, especially in light of fiat money deflation effects due to government bailouts in wake of the virus pandemic. Although it does offer the possibility to escape onto decentralised trading platforms with more empowerment for the individual, institutions are getting involved. I still believe however the blockchain technology signals a movement towards general decentralisation, personal fluidity and sovereignty. So I would encourage an exploration, especially in light of recent pandemic developments.

In November of 2017 whilst on Openhand's 5D Shift World Tour, Katie, one of the Openhand Facilitators experienced a deep internal process. We were in a very sacred area of Australia, near Byron Bay, close to the crystalline Mount Warning. In brief, she felt the activation of the "Rainbow Serpent" through her being. Intuitively, I instantly knew what that meant. To me, it represents the reactivation of all the colours of the human sister/brotherhood - the "Original" human soul energy - that has been so distorted and suppressed through history. The conditions are ripe, it's time to reactivate the Rainbow Serpent in all of us...

In 1973 the psychic Ingo Swan traveled to Jupiter and reported it had wrings around it like Saturn. He was roundly laughed at! That is until the space probe Voyager traveled there several years later and actually photographed what he'd seen. They laughed no more! Interdimensional travel becomes possible when we get out of the 3D box. Doing so has widely profound benefits to our lives, because the Universe is influencing us through the dimensions. Better to be understanding and aligned with the flow. Mulit-dimensionality is now encroaching into mainstream thinking. Let's begin to live the dream now, that our minds may soften, and open to enormous possibility...
