Non-Compliance: A Spiritual Revolution

People of the world rise up
Right now, people around the world are speaking of rebellion against this unjust system that not only supports our lives, but controls them. Rioting is happening on the streets of Istanbul and in Brazil, the people are rallying against inequality and poverty. That’s not to mention the ongoing protests in Europe and other parts of the world about austerity cuts. On youtube and other social media there’s much blame for our political leaders and also the bankers. But who is to blame really? And can anyone really control us? If we bring this system down, what will we replace it with?…

Shouting at reflections in the mirror
In social media right now I’m constantly seeing new films about
revolution, about bringing the unjust system in which we live down.
There’s talk of taking to the streets in protest
just as people around the world have begun to do. I feel for them
greatly and my heart is with them: if it serves your soul to peacefully
protest, if it is the highest expression of you, then you must do so.
But there’s much more to it than just protesting at what we want to
change. Unless we’ve truly changed ourselves and found a more equitable
way of living for all life, we’ll simply re-create the same thing on the outside that we’re still holding on the inside.
The system we live in is one of exploitation. It is endemic, right
through, from governments to the banks and corporations that
effectively steal mother earth’s resources and then sell them back to us
for labour. People of the world are caused to sell their labour cheaply
and in so doing, transfer resource wealth from the many to a few. We’ve
spoken consistently here on Openhand that such a system is not only
lining the pockets of the world’s rich and powerful, it’s also
dehumanising us and destroying our planet at an alarming rate.
But here’s the thing, the system is in place only because
we continue to support it. So taking the streets and campaigning loudly
– unless you’ve first changed within – it is simply like shouting into
the mirror. We are the ones who have been buying the products produced
by the companies that control us. We are the ones supporting huge
agro-businesses which are destroying the oceans through GMO and non-organic food production.
We are the ones who support the oil and drug companies by consuming
stuff we simply don’t need. So campaign to change the government yes,
but what will you do about the corporations that really control us?
All we need is “Non-Compliance”
In our recent video Transformation of Humanity,
we spoke of confronting and changing the system through
“non-compliance”. You and I could begin an absolutely unstoppable
revolution that would change the world for the better of all life and we
don’t even have to take to the streets to do it. As Gandhi fought for
Indian independence through non-violence, we can take a leaf out of his
book through “non-compliance”. He made personal choices that became an
example to others. So he chose to wear a home-spun clothing in order to
encourage self-sufficient village industries and thus help alleviate
poverty in India. If we stopped buying clothes produced in globalised
sweat-shop servitude, that creates wealth for the few who then control
us with it, that would immediately start tugging and unraveling the
threads of the controlling matrix in which we live.
Likewise, if we chose organic and not GM food, we’d stop
contributing to the destruction of our oceans and our top soil
eco-systems. In the process, we’d stop lining the pockets of big
business who then buy the politicians that pull the wool over people’s
eyes, plus we’d find ourselves more healthy in the bargain and our
consciousness would expand through the reduction of internally polluting
excito-toxins. If just a small percentage of us had the courage to do
this, whatever the apparent extra cost might be, the financial system
would collapse very quickly bringing with it globalised destructive
business and many (if not all) of the corporations that control
governments and us.
Right now, we are living not in one world but two. There is the old
one of the old values, injustice and inequity. But we can also access
another world through the choices that we make. If we choose
non-compliance with the old system in everything that we consume, then
we’ll find ourselves increasingly accessing a higher vibration. The new
world becomes increasingly a reality for us. We’ll feel it in our
hearts, our consciousness will expand and what’s more, as more people do
this, we’ll accelerate the collapse of the old system around us.
Openhandway
So do you feel revolutionary? Do you feel it’s time for change, real
change, non compliant change that serves the higher good of all life? If
so, a way will reveal itself to you. When you find the will to change
and be open in your heart, immediately choices will be presented to you,
today. They’ll speak through the synchronicity surrounding your
feelings. Is it right to buy this or that? If you expand through your
desires and contractions to the moment, a surrendered openness arises
from which “Right Action” simply yearns to happen.
No one is saying you have to give up everything of the old system
immediately. Since the old system practically owns all of the natural
resources, we’re going to have to compromise. We may still have to use
the car, but how much? We may still fly but how often? From my
experience the soul is compromising, but it simply doesn’t pay to
compromise the soul!
Here at Openhand we call the approach “Openhandway” or “openway“ for
short. It is a way that not only serves our own higher good, but also
the higher interests of the planet too; we feel increasingly lighter,
more expanded and joyful in the process. So do you wish to change the
world for the better of all? Then I advocate ‘non-compliance’ with the
current system, and instead, allowing this state of surrendered openness
to guide you.
Now. And always.

About the Author
Chris Bourne – At the age of 40, I was involved in a
life threatening car crash in which I thought I would certainly die.
This precipitated total inner surrender and a rapid reconnection with
the conscious life force through all things.
I found myself suddenly able to experience and contemplate through multiple dimensions of reality to see the deeper purpose of life itself. It was then I began to fully realise my true reason for being here.
During the crash, time seemed to slow right down and I was guided
back through key moments of my life. I was realising that every moment
in our lives has but one underlying purpose – to reveal an aspect of
truth about ourselves to ourselves. I was beginning to dissolve every
belief and value our society had conditioned within me.
This was my initial awakening to the magical unifying
consciousness of the soul. Over the eight years that followed, I was
guided through four other inner ‘Gateways’
of consciousness. I have since come to know the process as the five key
expansions on our journey of Enlightenment and ultimate Ascension into
multi dimensional living – our divine birthright.
My consciousness expansion however did not end there. It continued to
blossom and expand. I became acutely aware of a highly evolved,
benevolent presence, working through the weave of life since the dawning
of time itself. I have come to know this Group of Nine intimately. It guides my life and is the basis of Openhand itself.
