Hi Vimal,

I'm so glad you had the courage to post your feelings on facebook despite the negative response that you ultimately got.

I heard an interesting story recently, from someone who for me, is truly testing the bounds of reality....

"Be prepared that when you post something (on the internet) that is truly aligned and original, that you could lose 20% of the people that have been following your posts".

In fact my experience with Openhand has been even more marked than that.

Wherever I've made a big realisation, embodied it, and then fully expressed it, then it frequently caused major ructions amongst those tuning into the work. Openhand has grown through the constant peeling away of old realities, to which some had vested interests and were not willing or ready to move beyond.

It's essential to not let that stop you. As I said in the article, "if your dream doesn't shatter the illusions of those around you, then maybe your dream is too small". Not that we should purposefully set out to antagonise anyone, of course not. Just that from my experience at least, when you do find a new resonance that is truly you, and dare to express that, it will rattle the cages of those around you. And it will likely cause some to leave.

I've come to accept that, and when people do depart, to warmly wish them on their way.

Open
