Hi Tilly - I definitely do understand the challenge with technology - yes. ![]()

BUT, I'm NOT buying it!
I know plenty of people enjoy this material and say they're uplifted by it. But where's the feedback loop? Where's the shared light of a simple comment?
Yet at the same time, (and I've witnessed it plenty), there'll be a happy tick, tick, tick on Facebook - liking this and that. On a government owned website that is tracking people's EVERY move - and it doesn't matter if you have an anonymous name on there, they track you by your IP address, which connects them directly back to your computer and into everything: what you surf, your bank accounts, what you spend, the people you connect with.
For me, what I feel is that people have been far too distracted, this way and that. Hesitant, yes, which I understand, but we must overcome that.
At a plantary level, this lack of commitment is coming home to roost in a spectacular way now. Those tech giants that people inadvertenatly tune into (facebook, google, youtube, twitter, etc etc) and acquiesce to, everytime they use a smart phone, have simply lapped up the energy and taken over. Sucking people in. And then they censor alternative sites like this out of existence (or at least they're trying to!).
I so often hear people say they enjoy the Openhand site - that they gain masses from it. But yet won't even share a comment or share a link to something that motivates them and could resonate some uplifting light with the community. So I ask them to share articles and videos with other people. But do they? Seldomly according to the stats.
I can only call it how i see it.
Don't get me worng - I love everyone. Special, special people. ![]()
But thus far, at a group level, we've been really poor at working together to ripple the light.
I've had to surrender a great deal to that over the years - a deep internal letting go.
Many times I asked myself, "what's the point?"
In the end, I resolved to do it simply as a form or personal expression, and to connect with you lovely souls who do show up. ![]()

I know I will have rattled a few cages in saying this,
but hey,
that's my job!
Fond blessings to all.
