Universal life energy These are monumental times to be alive. A phenomenal shift in the consciousness of Gaia is taking place, to which all life on the planet is invited. At the culmination of 2012, she centred her consciousness in the Fifth Density giving birth to a New Paradigm of existence. However, life here in the lower densities currently remains convoluted, intoxicated and poisonous. To the extent that if it continued, would risk the emergence of the New Paradigm and the future viability of successful co-creative harmony for all life on Earth. Thus a "Great Cleansing" is now necessary to secure the future of life on 5D Earth. A collapse mechanism of the old reality is just beginning. What will that likely entail?...

Higher dimensional plan

My name is Open, which is more a way of being than a name. I bridge into, and work with, higher dimensions of consciousness. I say this without arrogance, pride or ego. It just is. Of course you may not believe me (and that's entirely your prerogative). I say it, so you know, what I claim to be, the source of this sharing. I suggest you take only that which resonates. Find your own truth in what I'm saying.

I claim what I'm about to share, is known by those in the higher densities who are working tirelessly and selflessly to facilitate the shift. It's clear there is much confusion, misinformation and even deception going on here. Hence the need for a clear message. But of course I only offer a clear perspective to the degree that my own lens is clear. We can only ever offer a perspective, not the 'absolute truth'. I believe this message is available for all. Although it is not expected nor even necessary that all will embrace it. Clearly, the way events currently proceed here, the majority speed to the precipice of their own oblivion. That is indeed deeply saddening. However, there's no need to allow this unconsciousness to drag the rest of the planet down with it. Certainly not. There is an abundance of evolving, ascending life that is greatly looking forwards to the new 5D harmony in the New Paradigm.

For the future of the new existence to be secured, I believe a collapse mechanism of the old reality now needs to take place and indeed, has already begun. Why is this collapse necessary? I see that the new reality will form around the cleansed and condensed foundation stone of the old. If that foundation were still to be cancerous - as it currently is - then it might risk the entirety of the New Paradigm in the higher densities. Even though at a higher frequency of being, Gaia would still be influenced by her consciousness in the lower realm. So as the Hopi accurately prophecised it, a "Great Cleansing" must now happen. It is known in the higher realms as a Great Realignment.

Gaia's strongly empathic qualities

Life here has suffered a Intervention by an Interdimensional Opposing Consciousness that has tried to bend the planet to it's controlling agenda. This has infected the majority of people, who lead a lesser existence, disconnected from their divinity, and addicted to base level, consumptive behaviourisms that disrespect both Gaia and other sentient life here. This is virulently cancerous, not only to the planet, but even their own souls. Gaia is strongly empathic, she feels the pain of all sentient life here, as her own:

She feels every tortured expression of this, as a cell within her own body. And she needs to begin to transmute that pain - to release the energy contained within this lower density - to start to 'compost' this material nightmare that violates and infects everyone. How will that likely happen?

The Collapse Mechanism

The collapse mechanism of the old reality has already begun. The Intervention that has taken place here, was an interwoven bundle of energetic frequencies instigated from the Fourth Density, which had ensnared the whole of life here. Even those reincarnating were being stripped of their former memories. The first task of benevolence was to unwind those strands of energy so that they could be peeled off one by one. That way, the transition here would be smoother and more readily manageable. The interdimensional layers of this intervention have now either been dispatched away, or else, are in the final throws of being broken down.

It leaves the Third Density 'matrix', based on the level of the intellect, in which the majority of humanity still appears to be willing enslaved. These deep-seated, conditioned, unjust, inequitable and inhumane behaviours are proving very difficult to break. But they have no place on 5D Earth.

Paradoxically, the sense of lack within humanity that craves greater security and therefore controls the resources of the planet, is the very trip switch sparking the breakdown mechanism.

Fortunately, there is indeed a wave of human souls who are understanding the sense of urgency, who are reconnecting with the Source and indeed are embarking on this next necessary shift. Thus Gaia, who has so far been waiting for human souls to join the movement, is now ready to begin this next phase. I believe, over time, she will begin to break down the surface of this reality through increasingly wild weather systems, drought, storm, earthquake and volcanic action. Meanwhile her biomagnetic field will dwindle, at a time when solar storm activity is increasing. Ultimately, I see the composition of the atmosphere transforming with cleansing solar storm activity. I have seen the Earth becoming a crucible of fiery change. Clearly, no sophisticated life would be able to survive such radical transformation in this density - the 3D.

All reality constructs are created from karma: where there's a requirement - a yearning - for souls to evolve beyond a previous limitation. On Earth, such a construct has been formed in the 4D field, to which souls have been drawn for mutual learning - the challenge is to see past the veil. Gaia too has required this 4D construct - but now no longer. As it peels away from the earth, the old reality will fall away as she ascends her consciousness from the 3D into the 5D, creating a new reality for new explorations, evolution, and growth here. The challenge - and the opportunity - for all life on the planet, is to move through the departing 4D veil, and join her in the 5D New Paradigm. As life passes on, the old karmic layer which shaped this former reality, will be uprooted from the lower densities, and shifted through timespace, into the galactic core, to be fragmented into consciousness 'elementals' - from which, in time, new physical realities will take shape once more, elsewhere in the cosmos. This is what happens in a black hole: it is like a vast, multidimensional, cosmic 'washing machine'; it breaks density down into its constituent quanta of consciousness, before emitting the light out of the other side of this galactic doorway - something that leading comsologists like Stephen Hawking have speculated upon. The Mayans accurately described the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy way before modern science discovered it. They saw the influence of the galactic core, at key times, greatly affecting the psyche. They considered passage along this 'dark road' or "Xibalba be", into the 'underworld', a time of expanded consciousness, by confrontation of ones deepest fears. Personally I have once experienced the sense of my soul being drawn through the galactic core - a terrifying and shattering experience, but also one of incredible liberation, expansion, deep peace and rejuvenation, providing that is, the soul is able let go through it.

Here is a fascinating short video depicting what happens as a star is broken down through a supermassive black hole. It is shared to provide a metaphoric sense of what happens as consciousness is drawn toward, or into, a black hole... I'm not saying the physical aspect of Earth will go that way (not any time soon!). What I'm saying is that the fragmenting, dissolving 4D karmic layer will; that which has formed the blueprint - and the anchor - of the old physical 3D reality. As life passes on from the physical realm, through the transforming karmic Fourth Density, it will be greatly supported by the angelic realm, holding the space and the light as the Fourth Density layer is torn from the Earth. You might imagine they have formed a 'net' around the earth in which to catch wayward souls. If we can help souls to let go of fear and control, then this will greatly help their passage onward into the 5D, rather than to the galactic core. Meanwhile, the 5D New Paradigm will begin to take shape around the foundation stone of the old. In time, the 3D Earth core will settle down, cool, condense, and foster the possibility of 3D life here once more - perhaps millions of years in the future.

All of this I have shared in the book DIVINICUS.

How much time does humanity have? Firstly I should say that I don't believe my vision to be prophecy. Even though I'm talking of something to take place in the immediate future. I say this because I believe ALREADY an irreversible event line has been initiated - like dominoes knocking themselves over. Various shifts, outlined above, become increasingly inevitable. However, the timing is not set in stone. Mankind actually holds the key to how quickly or slowly this will proceed. If mankind protects the environment, then the window of opportunity can be extended. Currently, humanity's actions are rapidly shortening the life-span of the old reality.

Hence it is hard to see beyond the next few decades, for viable existence to continue here on 3D Earth.
What this means, is that for those who can hear my message, the time has really come to take your own evolution, your own destiny back into your own hands. The time has come to go inwards and embark on the inner journey of consciousness expansion through the density's - through the 5GATEWAYS - into the Fifth Density - the next chapter of the human story.

The New Paradigm

The New Paradigm of the Fifth Density is a magical place to be. It's a place of indescribable harmony, joy and interconnectivity, where all life is respected and cherished. Gone is the disconnect from the divine. We live in alignment, our purpose is not to grind and graft for some material outcome, rather to explore the bounteous wonders of the universe, to learn, evolve and grow. It's truly a magical existence, a 'golden age'. You can begin to live that way now. It is greatly encouraged, in order to facilitate your passage into the New Paradigm. Despite the fact that the old reality temporarily controls the world's resources, and despite the fact that you may have to work within it for a while longer, it's important that ascending people switch their loyalty to the new form of existence...

Tuning into the divine, finding greater inner peace, alignment with the flow of the soul, observing and responding to synchronicity, becoming more as-one with Mother Earth.

What you'll find is that attuning to this flow, begins to breakthrough, and carry you through the crucible of change in a most uplifting, empowering and invigorating way: the old layers shed from your reality, and just like the resplendent dragonfly, your new beingness emerges.

Right now, it is a small minority of beings who have truly committed themselves to the path. In time, many more will likely join as they see the writing on the wall. But still, the majority will likely struggle and strive to bind to the old reality - at least that's the current trend. It means that many will not have the vibrationary level to attain the new consciousness as the window closes. In which case, new existences will become available in other constellations, commensurate with that level of vibration and evolution. Life in the universe works tirelessly towards balanced harmony and alignment in all places - fortunately!

See past the veils - open your cosmic eyes

So in the course of time, the old reality will be stripped from the Earth as the 5D New Paradigm unfolds itself. I realise this is a great deal to take in and fully digest. But the more you invest in the exploration of your higher, cosmic self, the more obviously possible - and even probable - I believe you'll find my sharing becomes. However, if you keep tuning your consciousness to the limitations of the old reality, then it will continue to seem pretty 'out there' (and you'll keep binding yourself to the old consciousness).

Neither do I expect nor wish people to blindly accept or even believe my sharing of what I feel is now set to take place. But you're drawn to my text for a reason. In part maybe you resonate. In which case, I invite you to stay open to the possibility of what I'm sharing. Then to question what you are truly witnessing shaping around you. Be mindful that prior to Enlightenment, you'll be seeing the world through subconscious veils - those of what you'd prefer would happen, or are resistant to what is happening. Be mindful that this will likely be happening to you. And work to feel into your contractions which these veils cause (I've outlined a way of processing inner tightness, density, source pain and karma in this article here...9 step process for dealing with Subconscious Trauma and Karma).

I believe there is a bright future awaiting us. But it will only be authentically rosy, if you peel away the rose-tinted spectacles. It will be spectacular - what some will see as catastrophic - of that there is no doubt. It will challenge you, to the core. But if you embrace the shifts full on, all in, then it will liberate and expand you in ways unimaginable. The possibility to truly test the restriction of small "I" 3D limitation, and to unfold the wings of your truly glorious, 5D cosmic self, awaits you. You'll begin to see it in an entirely different way. Increasingly you'll be okay about, and embrace, what is likely to come... It is time to embrace radical, cosmic transformation, of the Earth and dive into the centre stream of your immaculate home coming. All the way into the 5D!

Support for the new way of being

Moonbeam Wed, 12/16/2015 - 17:03

Hi Open,
Love this article. We have been feeling the shifts over here and are becoming more self sustaining each year.
Meanwhile, the web of the Matrix is tightening its grip and we have been flailing around in the murk, seeking relief and assistance to see us through to a place of relative calm. No such luck in those efforts...
I read somewhere that with Gaia's shift into 5D, there is no support for 3D anymore. I wondered - what does that mean? Yesterday it landed in me with a huge thud.
I have never missed a bill payment of any kind for 62 years, and yesterday a forgotten cheque bounced for the first time in my life. We have been riding the Matrix knife edge for awhile now as we work to get our retreat centre up and running. Everywhere that I have turned for funds to keep us going has yielded nothing - and so the downward spiral appeared to me to have begun yesterday with that red number in my bank account.
And then I crashed - lost it completely - feeling like a 'bad girl' for not paying a small, little bill. As my tears flowed and I tried to catch my breath I looked up at Geoff and I got it! This 3D way of scrambling around for help, trying to control our outcome is NOT being supported anymore....
And then the miracle. I saw clearly, perhaps for the first time that we are all One in this - I felt the pain of millions who live daily with debilitating fear gnawing in their gut as they work so hard, day after day, often in soul destroying jobs, to feed the giant beast that has been sucking us dry for so very, very long. I cried and cried - shedding tears for everyone who is stuck, feeling unable to breathe.
Then - the breakthrough. A fog lifted and I saw the Matrix for what it is, and how fractured it is. I felt supported from a place, I know not where, deep inside, knowing that if we stay upright, doing our best in each forward step we can't be stopped. The Matrix and all of its control just doesn't matter anymore - we are awesomely okay, no matter what !
I am not 'bad' for bouncing a cheque - I am doing the best that I can. That realization moved me through to a place of trust which is truly supported within the 5th density. With support for 3D gone - it is all we have left.
I am not sure that I understand it all yet, perhaps I passed through another Gateway. I am experiencing what it means to let go of it all in full surrender to what wants to happen now. We still have to dance with the Devil as they own all of the resources, but we don't have to feel diminished by it. We can let go of lifetimes of programming which has us desperately doing everything that we can just to be comfortable until the day we die.
So, I have put my jaunty tam back on again and am ready to come out of the shadows and do what is being asked of me - facing the beast head on, trusting that I am all that I need.

All will come well

Open Wed, 12/16/2015 - 17:59

Thanks so much for your sharing Jan. I see you. I feel you.

All of these old, out-dated systems like debt and control will slip away with the old 3D reality. How is it right for one person to be able to hoard the resources that belong to us all, and then to lend them back to people at a cost? In the higher paradigm, it's non-sensical.

There is a flow. Each partakes of the flow, only to the extent that he or she is able to give. As your capacity to give grows, then so does your capacity to receive in equal measure. There is no need to hoard - this shows lack of trust, therefore control, therefore density. The density itself spins back down to the lower frequency - like being in a washing machine.

I know people who've seen such inequity in capitalism and debt, just let the debt slide from their hands and completely transformed their lives. I'm not saying it's necessarily a path for everyone - it depends of course on personal circumstances and the law in that particular place. But it is indicative of an overall shift that wants to happen - IS happening.

So hang in there Jan. Keep riding the waves. Feel the truth at each step, then trust in the rightness of the divine.

All will come well.

Pure Essence

erica r Thu, 12/17/2015 - 11:06

There is so incredibly much in this article! What draws my attention is the old karmic layer of 4D ( kinda like a sponge that has absorbed too much in the 3D) being shifted into the galactic core to break down the density to allow the imminence of light. I've experienced this with souls who have been ripped from their physical shells. About twenty years ago I had a vision that has remained with me. Instead of a net, I saw a web stretched around earth and I saw souls caught. For some earth was all they would ever know. For a very long while I felt an urgency to help in some way to deter that outcome but it's inevitable. Why is earth even a vital aspect to 5D as ascension to higher dimensions evolves?

The compassion grows exponentially. The super massive black hole was a visual marvel. In the higher densities "others" are facilitating the shift. Why does it have to stream through individual consciousness to transmute? It seems like once the synergistic effects start to catalyze, the breakdown of consciousness in the lower realm should dissolve and no longer be available as a "radio" station for souls to tune into.
I see Gaia to be resilient ready for the challenge and an active player in the ascension that is affecting all life as it encourages the evolution, adaptation, and metamorphosis of the process of transformation into 5D.

All interconnected

Open Thu, 12/17/2015 - 11:13


Yes - an earth shattering process!


"Why does it have to stream through individual consciousness to transmute?"

I assume you mean through individual people too? It's a good question.

It doesn't have to. It can all happen with or without. The Earth could literally tear into the 5D without the majority of people. But we're all interconnected through threads of consciousness. And we're also connected by compassion - of course. So the process will be as mindful and caring as possible.

If people can begin to break through the ties and limitations, then it will make the process much easier all round. To me that's the ideal.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but it's how I felt to respond.


Process of shattering

erica r Thu, 12/17/2015 - 12:59

That is what I meant. With the holiday season approaching and consumerism at it's highest, it just all feels very dense right now. This process of self realization is interwoven within every moment, I do have a sense most people aren't involved with being more evolved until it just happens... the earth shattering process.

Jan, I love your breakthrough

Spiritpaws Thu, 12/17/2015 - 14:40

Jan, I love your breakthrough. There is such liberation behind and beyond your words. I send you a big etheric hug.

I sense great synchronicity with the opening of The Force Awakens tomorrow :-)


The Force Awakens

Moonbeam Thu, 12/17/2015 - 17:30

In reply to Jan, I love your breakthrough by Spiritpaws

Hi Tigger,

PERFECT! The Force Awakens... that is how things feel right now. Bring it on, I say... :)

Blessings to you and all of your critters. xoxoxo


StarHawk Sun, 12/20/2015 - 13:34

Many thanks Open, for a fascinating, thought provoking & most powerful article. I can feel the energy, passion & enthusiasm you put into it. It's a great work that you are doing, & I am moved to share it with others.



So so much

Rich Sat, 12/19/2015 - 18:21

So so much in these words you offer, Open.

I particularly like the ideas of an abundance of ascension, a cosmic washing machine, and composting the material nightmare.
I'm particularly hoping to avoid being fragmented in the galactic core which sounds quite uncomfortable .... although worse things happen at sea, they say.

From inside the box of matrix-deep-conditioned ego-intellect this stuff would appear ridiculous, crazy.
And indeed is that not exactly what said conditioning does - hide from us the reality of our cosmic situation, the inconceivably awesome possibilities awaiting us, our true destiny.
But in the stillness of expanded awareness, where we can be in our innate knowing, there is no mistaking that the process which you so clearly describe is happening and has entered a critical phase (I guess it began eons ago with the first separation of consciousness, the Fall, and this is the inevitable playing-out of the process, aka evolution ? ).

My knowing was nodding all the way through reading.
My knowing was yes-ing :)
This knowing, albeit without the detail, has always been there, if so often obscured from me; the coming armageddon, the pain, the devastation, the promise within it, the sublime, unimaginable, glorious new awaiting us.
The challenges facing us are daunting indeed, mankind's crucifixion ? , but oh so good it is to feel the truth that we can ascend.
It is ours for the taking.
Armageddon outta here!

So now it's like Schindler's List for souls, right?

We got work to do, friends.
Let us give it the urgency it merits.
Let us give it our all.

Save Our Souls.
Save Our Selves.
Save Other Souls.

Or perhaps;

Sink Or Swim
Sleep Or Shine
Shut-up or Sing
Stale Or Sizzle
Stupified Or Stupendous
Slavery Or Spontaneity
Slow-ass Or Supersonic
Southampton Or Sirius
Shit-pie or Sunshine
Sausages Or Salad
Sewers Or Starlight
Same-old-same-old Or Something amazing
Somnambulation Or Star Constellations

Blimey ... I do get carried away sometimes I don't know where it all comes from ...

Anyway... thanks.
Love always n everyways.

cosmic poets etc

Ben Sat, 12/19/2015 - 19:18

hey Rich

I'm glad you got carried away, made me smile, and its so good(essential?) to rememeber to attune to the lightness sometimes! 5D wants you! (you know the recruitment poster?!)

keep going you cosmic poet!


Thanks Ben

Rich Sun, 12/20/2015 - 12:54

Thanks Ben,

Your kind words appreciated, buddy.

I don't mean to diminish the importance of what is being said in the article.
Indeedy ... it could hardly be more important.

These things can get the better of us and become depressing.
A good chuckle in the face of adversity can be just the ticket.

Smiles and chuckles

soulseer Sun, 12/20/2015 - 14:50

So love your incisive yet lighthearted SOS reflections, Rich! My response to the 3D dark comedy we're living in is to smile, chuckle, or laugh raucously as often as I can. Thanks for making me smile. Catherine :)

Thank you, Catherine. x

Thank you, Catherine.



sandrajaneenah Wed, 12/23/2015 - 12:08

Open, this article is the most comprehensive synthesis of what is going on that I have read to-date. I keep reading and re-reading it, and it works its magic within me day by day, confirming what I have felt and at the same time opening and connecting the dots that I have not yet seen.

Oddly enough I have found a jigsaw puzzle site and have been led to use puzzles to sort of visually watch fragmented pieces come together. I don't really ''work'' at it....I'm just led to see where a fragmented piece fits another that fits another that fits a bigger part...it can take days of rather mindless, effortless, but fascinating process. And in the end, voila...a lovely holiday picture. I have also been led to share your article with family and friends and am careful to include the bio etc you have requested. I hope they independently explore the Openhand website.

One more thing....I am/was/am once again...an organist. The pipe organ is an instrument that is figuring into this transformation and one particular company, is building such instruments. They literally have harmonics never before heard (as of 12-21-12) and are finding that rather than having the sound decay flat, it decays sharp..an uplift that is lifting the souls who are playing and hearing.

Probably my favorite composer for organ is Olivier Messiaen. And my favorite work of his, which I actually had not thought of for years until I read your article. is not an organ work at all. He wrote it while he was imprisoned by the Nazi's in France. A Nazi guard supplied him with paper. Called ''Quartet for the End of Time'', I am hearing it with new meaning for me now, particularly the incredibly beautiful duets between piano and cello, and piano and violin. The entire piece speaks to me musically of what you all have written here...the chaos we are experiencing, as well as the transformation that continues to be birthed within us all.

In the midst of the chaos...''Let there be Light''. In a way, we are a new Christmas...Divinicusmas.

Just some thoughts... in gratefulness, Love and Light, flooded with quiet joy this morning.

The Fire of Transformation

hannelore1 Wed, 08/31/2016 - 15:08

Be a lamp unto yourself.
Don't search for light anywhere else:
the light is already there, the fire is already there.
Just probe a little deeper into your being, enquire.
Maybe much ash has gathered around the fire...
Just probe deeper inside, and you will find the spark again.
And once you have found a single spark inside you,
you will become a flame, soon you will be a fire...
a fire that purifies, a fire that transforms,
a fire that gives you a new birth and a new being.

-the Last words of Gautama, the Buddha
