Openhand Foundation -- Any experience? UK & Germany

[Pablísimo]

Hi everyone!

http://openhandweb.org/

So, my question is: have any of you, my Brothers & Sisters at Bring4th, ever had any experience with them? They regularly give seminars and workshops in the UK & Germany, with occasional visits to other regions, mostly in Europe. I am curious if anyone here has actually attended one or studied with them in some way? If so, what did you learn? What were your subjective impressions? Did it feel congruent with the Law of One? Of course I will form my own opinion and "discern for myself", but I greatly value the collective experience and wisdom of my spiritual family, all of you at Bring4th. This website has been an incredible source of knowledge and inspiration for me. If you have experience, I would like to consider your words in this matter.

Thanks!!

Love to all

Dear brother,

I have not heard of them before, but would greatly appreciate if you indeed came back after your experiences with them with a report. =)

Good luck and have fun!

[Meerie]

never heard of them before, but sure sounds interesting
Please report back!
(with all these synchronicities it definitely sounds like something you should check out)

Well friends, I'm back from the workshop.

It was not what I expected. I found that the teacher of this group in person was incongruent with the impression I received from their videos and website.

I do think they mean well and have good intentions, but alot of fear, ego, judgement, and bias was projected at me. Though I said very little and did their exercises with all the sincerity of my Being, my very presence seems to have shaken them considerably. I'm not sure why, and do allow that it may just be me.

I did not find them congruent with Law of One principles, no. However, if you are drawn to them I would suggest putting aside my opinion and exploring them as you see fit. Find out for yourself and draw your own conclusions. My perceptions are simply that -- my personal perceptions, certainly not Gospel.

That said, I had a deeply meaningful and wonderful trip and I am very grateful that I was given the opportunity to go. I had some incredible experiences while there that had nothing to do with the workshop. And besides, sometimes it takes some negative catalyst to remind us to seek within rather than looking without. I had a major mystical experience outside of the class and feel forever changed, in a good way. More evidence that all things work together for our greater good.

I leave you, my brothers and sisters, with this thought: The moment in which we claim enlightenment is the very same moment where we prove our ignorance. Some words from our friends of Ra come to mind:

Ra: I am Ra. It is absolutely necessary that an entity consciously realize it does not understand in order for it to be harvestable. Understanding is not of this density.

And what are the chances of me translating this same sentence, taking a break, logging into this site, seeing your post first of all, and reading this sentence again?

Thank you for sharing your experience/s and your thoughts, my brother.

I would love to hear about your mystical experience that happened outside the class.

It's interesting you mention that you saw it just after translating.. I've been having alot more synchronicities in my life than usual as of late. Who knows what 2012 will or will not bring, but it's certainly starting off magical for me!

I love that quote you translated, and I later posted. Those fine folks of Ra sure had some profound wisdom for us to ponder!!!

I'm a little embarrassed to point you to this thread because I sound like a lunatic in it, but I know my brothers & sisters at Bring4th will love and accept me all the same. Since you asked, here are some of the details of my mystical experience here:

http://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=4024

To sum it up, I did a meditation on top of Glastonbury Tor. I took my shoes off, sank my feet into the grass and started with Hawaiian Hoʻoponopono and then moved into a more general meditation. This precipitated the release of a HUGE HUGE mass of negative emotional energy that I'd picked up from others over the years as well as profound self-judgement. I really have been unkind to myself and much of that left me at the same time as the negative energy of others. I've been a little woozy ever since, but I feel so happy and light now. I'm changed forever, and in a very good way.

Thank you for caring, sister. When I read your words all over this forum I always feel a gentle and loving energy coming from you that I have rarely encountered. I am honored to have you in my spiritual family.



Love to all

lol!! Don't worry about sounding like a lunatic! I sure sound like it too, many, many times at this forum. =)

I've read your other post, and it sounds to me like an initiation process. Don't you believe that it was an initiation? And Glastonbury Tor, huh? Is it not the place which is believed to have been Avalon? (I loved that legend in my past!)

Thank you for your kind words, my brother. It means a world to me to hear you say that. You radiate so much love and wisdom, that I wonder if you are aware of it yourself? *I am honored to be in your presence, my brother*.

Sounding like a lunatic usually means you are doing it right hehe .

[Meerie]

Actually I think as we learn to think more for ourselves, follow our intuition, we will find we are less compatible with many of these "spiritual" or new age or however you might want to call them groups.
There is a lot of spiritual ego hovering around in these groups.
We live, we learn.

LOL -- thanks. I laughed out loud (literally) when I read your post. I think you might just be on to something ; ) !

I do see the wisdom in your words here, sister. Thank you for that perspective. I feel a bit foolish because I just didn't sense the ego and the spiritual incompatibility from afar. I was a bit blinded by the loving positivity I thought I perceived. It was a reminder to me that my discernment is not as sharp as I might have thought! But like always, it brought me exactly what I needed.

You know, I have always been a bit of a "loner", spiritually -- until Bring4th I had never really run across any spiritual group I really really resonated with. And my aren't we a motley crew!!! I think our individuality and non-homogeneous opinions are what I find so compatible!

!!Wow!! I think you nailed it right on the head. It does, in retrospect, feel like it was an Initiation. How funny that I couldn't see it while IN the experience but it's so clear now. Thank you for pointing this out to me. I have actually been pondering this -- that it was an initiation -- for several days now, which is why I waited to reply. Thank you so much for the insight.

Oh Ankh.... thank you. Gosh, what a nice thing to say! I don't know how to reply. I, I, well I --

Oh forget about the logical thoughts and words!!!. This is how I feel about you, my sister:



Thanks for being You! The honor is all mine.

It is so rare to see/read spontaneous expressions like that. Thank you.

They are like fresh breeze, clean spring water, that runs through me, and cleanse. Heal.

Love you!
