In the build-up to the release of the new Openhand Book RESURRECTION, I felt to share a 4-part serialisation.

Here's part 1...

1/4 Negev

You could hear their feet trudging in the dust some distance away. The desert is as quiet as a tombstone in the middle of the night. The air is crisp, and sound waves travel a long way, bouncing off the rocks, echoing like ghosts, rippling up gulleys and valleys. The Israeli platoon, of some 30 soldiers, snake their way up the desert track, on a course that is causing some degree of concern to me. Meanwhile, Chris has taken shelter that night, in a protective ditch amongst shrubs and bushes, which would normally offer some degree of protection; that is unless the Israeli Defence Forces are conducting exercises right in your vicinity. I'm watching down from the 4D, where I can clearly see their coil of energy, like a centipede, weaving its way steadily toward Chris.

That's what it's like being a "Watcher" or a "Guardian"- you watch patiently. No matter how challenging or bone-crunching, it is not your remit to change the course of destiny - even if it means a crucifixion. If you have a good connection with your subject you can highlight spikes in the field, bring attention to converging synchronicities, and hold the space so as to elevate consciousness. It means being really good at 'holding your breath'. And I would say to everyone reading, you all have your Watchers, your Guardians, and when you're prepared to be awake and aware enough, with active attention as to the subtleties happening around you, it's most likely they're speaking through them. To be clear though, they're not here to spoon-feed, nor to change the path of destiny that your soul is calling for - the confrontations you need. So do work to let go of any frustration, which will greatly ease the communication!

"Relax, Chris, relax", I whispered gently across the desert night as the snaking coil of the platoon steadily converged with his position - I knew I was communicating it, just as much for me, as for him.

And then, as the platoon was almost upon Chris's location, something curious happens - I'm seeing thirty pieces of sparkling light, in a candle-lit hall, cascading across a stone floor, seemingly aeons ago. It threw me for a moment, stealing my awareness from the here and now. I know the signature all too well - a past life of my own is triggering. They happen to everyone in regular life - curious convergences that cause a dissonant spike in the flow of the moment, some 'chicane' that wraps you up in a deeper meaning. It's amazing how past lives weave reflections into this one. We must learn to recognise these convergences and 'turn into them', no matter how inconvenient: a relationship row, hitting a traffic jam when you're late for work. It's these priceless moments that invite us to go to work within, to accept the 'spiritual gym'. For these will present the touch points of karma, which is the reason we're here, and offering the possibility of maximum spiritual growth.

This time, for me, the platoon I'm watching, the thirty sparks of crackling light in the dark desert night, have flashed me right back in time: I'm seeing thirty pieces of silver cast at Judas for betraying Jesus. And now I'm in the midst of wonder, "Was I there?" It seems so real, as vivid as if it were yesterday. Other visions and memories start to flood my awareness - "It will be your own healing too," I recall The Team gently warning me at the start of this mission. Immediately I was contemplating, "How strange it is that Christianity cannot yet see past its own nonsensical duality": even if you only believe it was a story, and not necessarily that it actually happened, Judas was instrumental in delivering Jesus to his crucifixion, which was clearly his destiny. To my mind, it was an act of friendship, that must have been brutally hard for him to carry out. It's clear: this speaks of a soulful agreement, a "Soul Contract". Jesus encouraged him on, consoled him that it was the necessary thing to do. What friendship it took. And yet the religion still calls it betrayal?

It's high time people started seeing beyond the veil of these antiquated belief systems - so that we can truly make sense of reality. Why those you love, for example, might push the deepest buttons in you, or at times derail you, even seem to betray you. Perhaps they're pushing you to your own destiny, to your own inner unravelling? On the spiritual path, you have to get used to these bone-crunching moments, where the soul is being stripped from the ego. The ego won't like it one bit!

Such are these Soul Contracts. They deliver you to the difficulty you most need to experience so as to evolve and grow. For me, they're one of the greatest forms of love. And as such, they often create reflections forward through history. You encounter the really close ones again and again.

The thirty pieces of crackling light made their way ever closer, until they were right alongside Chris. I held my breath. The field held its breath. History too held its breath. But this time, there was no discovery. The desert did not betray Chris. His destiny held a different path. I could hear him begin to chuckle, then to cackle, then to laugh. I laughed along with him, at the curious twist of fate and destiny.

RESURRECTION is released on this site and all major platforms on 27th April 20204.
