God's Venus: Introduction
Let us start this where it needs to begin. It starts with you, my dear reader. It starts with the rubber on the road: the beginning begins with you. How could it not? What I am about to tell you will surprise you. It may even rattle you, for it may not be what you expected. For some, the only answer to this terrible conundrum will be to throw this book away and disparage it to the ends of the Earth.
What is important is not this book. What is important is not the ideas in this book nor the principles it presents. It is only a map, a way-shower for unsteady times. It is a priceless guide. But for some, it carries a price. It will cost them dearly. It will cost them more than the price of this book. It will cost them more than just money or the financial world. It will cost them their investment in unreality. For some, that is a high price to pay. This book is not for them. They will not be content with finding the answer to every problem or discovering the truth about life. For the truth is under our noses. It is clear as day—right in front of you, right now. It is 'You.'
It is you who is the truth. What is the 'You' we are talking about? It is your extraordinary expanded Self: it is you who has lived lifetimes, who has undergone trials and tribulations and learnt. It is you who has survived a million years under this hot sun and knows how to thrive. It is you who has walked this planet before. It is your multidimensional self. Too often, we do not listen to ourselves because we think that the answer is 'out there.' We place untrue emphasis on authority, we choose beliefs, and we generally allow the thinking mind to have a say in how we run our affairs. Well, this must stop. We came here to be pure channels—bringers of the Light. We came here no less than to make heaven or Earth. We came here to transform.
Transformation happens when we travel from the constricted self to the expanded Self, the superficial mind to the Deep Mind. We have a choice, at any moment, whether we want to stay in constriction or not—that is, we have a choice about whether we want to open to the Heart or not.
The Heart is your gateway to all things. Whatever we want in life will come through the Heart, in the Deep Mind. Whether we want a new car, a relationship, or a better job offer, no matter what we desire, the germ of the idea exists within our hearts. And the Deep Mind is your Heart. When it exists in the Heart, it has a chance to blossom and grow. But it must come from the truth of ourselves; if it comes from only the mind, it has no true energy. It must contain Truth. For a wish or desire that is not from the Heart will not manifest or reach its full potential. That is why it is better to drop the thinking mind in favour of the Heart. It is better to go within and attune to, and receive from, the Heart rather than absent-mindedly trying to make things happen with our thoughts.
Too often, we think that our thoughts create reality. But in actual fact, it is the reverse. Our reality creates our thoughts: we all exist in a petri dish, and the conditioning of the collective consciousness cultures us into a susceptibility to think a particular way. Ideas are given precedence, while others are sidelined and marginalised. We conform to fit in. We say certain things and do certain things in order to be accepted. The price we pay is that we do not listen to our Heart. We do not listen to ourselves. A thought that is not aligned to the Heart is rogue.
Because we listen to our thoughts, we think we are our thoughts, and therefore we act from our thoughts. And because we act from our thoughts, we create a reality that is based on our thinking. Unfortunately, too many people people create a reality and are living in a reality they do not like. It is not because they are creating from their thoughts that is the problem; it is because they are disconnected from the Heart. Their thoughts hold no meaning. No value. They are simply guideposts showing a way down a meaningless path. And we wonder why we are not happy. And it is because we are disconnected from our Hearts.
When we are disconnected from the Heart, we say and do things that have no power. We obey external authority without mindfulness and say and do things that we do not really mean. We are not coming from our locus point, our centre. And so the breadth of us lacks power. We lose power because we are not coming from the fullness of ourselves.
When we listen to our thoughts, we create a reality that is based on our thinking. We are soft creatures; we are receptive. When we live an intellectual life, we often negate the reality of true experience. We negate the Heart. When we come from our thinking alone, we are cold and sterile. We are good at analysis, and often, the disaster that befalls us is analysis paralysis. We become stubborn and stuck. And pretty soon, we become fearful because we are not living from the Heart.
When you live from the Heart, you are a force of nature. That is because nature naturally aligns to and around the Heart. All things are connected to the Heart. It is that in-point and the out-point of all consciousness: anything you need to know may be known through the Heart. It can move worlds, and it can transform lives the moment you say, 'yes, I receive.' Yes, I receive the Heart's auspices; yes, I receive my deepest knowing. Yes, I receive the force of nature within me.
Heart's knowing is connected to all things. It knows all places, all people—and what you need to do right now in order to send you on your highest trajectory to make manifest the highest possibility of joy in your life. That is not to say it brings you only joyous circumstances: no, the road of the Heart is perilous. It will take you over steep cliffs and deep ravines. It will push you and pull you and mould you into the person you are capable of being. No, the Heart is a hard taskmaster. Its job is to get you to be in the place where you are the man or woman you are capable of being.
To reside in the Heart is to reside in the present moment. To be in the present moment is to be in your full self. Your whole self exists when you live, breathe and act from the Heart. Sometimes, we have an idea of how the Heart should act, what our Heart would like, and what we should do to be heartfelt people. Stop all of that now. Get that crap out of your head. For that is simply shallow thinking, wishful and hoping—projecting ideas, wishful thinking, of what would make you happy. It is you when you are trying to make things happen. Instead, go into the Heart and receive. Go into the Heart and listen. Say, 'Yes, I receive.' Go into the Heart and have the humble gratitude to rest in silence, to receive. The Heart will give you very specific instructions in the present moment. For the Heart knows.
The reason the Heart knows is that it is connected to the information field of Spirit. This is th point of possibility that knows everything that is happening currently, everything that has happened in the past, and all future probabilities. It is that point of focus in the present moment that holds the greatest gift and the highest possibility for your life right now. It knows your next step. Do we listen? Do we ask? Do we receive it?
The greatest gift lies within you. It is your Heart. And that is because the Heart is connected to all other lifetimes. It consolidates all the learning you have ever had—in this life and others—into a single unit. That unit is the energy centre within, the beacon and the transmitter. It is the central point of focus for all of life's wisdom, and it is threaded into present-moment awareness through your knowing. By tapping into Heart's knowing, you receive the guidance that you need to receive. It is not a guidance based on earthly laws, ideas or ways of being from books. It is a living guidance, a highly specialised guidance. It knows exactly what is happening in your life right now. It knows exactly what you need to do to bridge your life to the highest possibility. And it knows all this in the present moment.
Too often, we are looking for all the answers: too often, we think that if we just had a plan, the blueprint for life, everything would be A-OK. Too often, we want assurance and surety before stepping into the unknown. We want our life vest on; we want our safety belt. Too often, we cling to the rational mind to give us that. We think, 'If only I really knew and could be sure about this.' Because we are so filled with doubts about ourselves and our ability to make the right decisions, we ask other people. We check the stock market, and only if something appears rational do we make the first move.
Well, that is not the path of the Heart. The Heart does not give reasons. The Heart will not show you the whole picture. The whole will not show you the future or reveal your whole knowing to you. In Heart's Land, divine timing is the answer. You may have the right timing, the right plan, and the right intention to make magic happen. That means you have to be in your right mind—heart-centred—in the right place (the appropriate context), and it must be the right time to know. When you receive guidance at the right time, you can act and move accordingly. Receive guidance at the wrong time, and it just becomes an idea. It becomes an idea and a way of looking at the world. And pretty soon, the constricted self jumps in and fills the gap between you and experience: it will judge the advice and close you off to possibility. That is why it is best to be open to present-moment possibilities with your Heart wide open. It is beyond the mind and beyond your constricted self. Your knowingness will reach you when you are ready to take the jump. It will not reach you a dime more. Too often, we think the rational mind holds the key to our happiness.
We think if we are enlightened enough, educated enough or motivated enough, then our lives will be lifted to the best possibility. That is not the case, for it is Heart's knowing that gets us to where we want to be. It is Heart's knowing that navigates the field of life—not necessarily because it has more information, but because it simply is the source and repository of all information. It is connected to all awareness, to Unity Consciousness.
Unity Consciousness is that which we are all a part of. It is what we are connected to in the depths of our being. Unity Consciousness is one with our Heart because the Heart is the centre of our being. It is connected to the universe. It has no filter—it just receives. It receives from a point of pure possibility. It receives from the All. Being in you is connected to the quantum realm: there is no separation between your Heart and life. Your Heart is amongst life.
The Heart has no agendas but the manifestation of your highest timeline. The Heart is waiting and patient: it yearns for your return to its gateway. You often feel the pawing of Heart's desire when you are furthest away from the truth. The truth becomes known to you, not through lots of ideas, but through the simple reality of the truth of present-moment awareness—in and through the Heart's desire.
Too often, we block the Heart's desires with the beliefs that we hold in our heads. We think we have to make things happen, we think we have to do, and we think we have to strategise. Well, we can stop all of that now—unless it is aligned to and from the Heart. Unless it comes from Heart’s desires.
If you do not listen to Heart's desires, then pretty soon you will become sick and die. You will whither away. That is because the Heart is your life force—it is where you receive universal Light. Through heart-knowing, we receive sustenance and energy. When we fortify our knowing by listening to it and following, we create a neural feedback loop that feeds our nervous system with positive information and feel-good chemicals. That does not mean that stepping into the unknown is not hard or brought with challenges.
Stepping into the unknown can very much feel like we are stepping off a cliff. The unknown is those waters that the Heart desires us to tread—the guidance we receive from the Heart will take us to the very edge. It will take us beyond our comfort zone.
No one likes going beyond their comfort zone. However, they do it anyway. They do it because they are in Heart's Gateway. They exist within Heart's Gateway because they are open up to the present moment—they are willing and receive. Their willingness to receive is activated, and their receptive powers are not occluded. Too often, we have blinkers up—we say we want to be in our Hearts, but we do not receive them because we are blocking the Heart’s channel. We say we want to receive our higher guidance, but our beliefs are in the way.
Our biggest block, the biggest belief of all time, is the idea that we are separate from everything else. It is the idea that we can separate ourselves—quite successfully, of course—in the mind and stay there, constricted. And then create false beliefs. But Heart's desire we will always call you back. Heart's desire wants you to experience more. Heart's desire wants you to know life on a very intimate level. It wants you to live.
We think we live in a world where everyone is going about getting what they want with no divine plan in the process. We think that life is a struggle or a game with no overseeing hierarchy. We think that to call on guidance outside of our own is wishful thinking. Well, scrap that because we are guided from our Hearts. There is a knowing that wants to reach us from the universe. And it starts with you.
Our knowing—our highest knowing at any given moment—cannot reach us when we are blocked. When we think we know, we are doomed. When we think we know how to best handle a situation, we are doomed. And that is because we are not aligned with Heart's knowing: we are not receiving present-moment awareness as it filters in from the grand fabric of life. We are not open and receptive; instead, we are closed off from the universal guidance that would reach us if only we had the kudos to admit, 'I am not alone here.'
We think we are an island. We think we can have it all, do it all. We think we are the best people to design our lives. Or, if we think we are crap, then we think there is no alternative. We think we are ‘it!' Darl you are the problem. You are the one who is blocking. And you who are doing the blocking—that is not even the real you. Your thoughts, your ideas, your beliefs, your agendas—they are not the real you. But your Heart is. Your Heart is your being-point. The Heart is your best intelligence. Your Heart contains all that you have been and all that you will be. The Heart contains the answer.
When you experience the passion of the Heart with ego-ties, you are bound to a limited perspective. When you open to Spirit and let Him inform your Heart's Desires—in the deepest recesses of your consciousness—you go from your superficial self to your deep Self. You make a bridge from your ego to God, taking a journey from the constricted self to your expanded, extraordinary Self.
There is a reason why God isn't visible to humans in the third dimension: it is because he is beyond space and time. But his metaphorical Venus, which is beyond space and time, sparks an impulse to enter our lattice of eternity and sends forth His Spirit for unity. When the time is perfect, he enters gently into our life. For He has a metaphysical Venus, and with it, He initiates the metaphysical flow of life. Our task is to enter His flow—Spirit.
Everything in the Universe is underpinned by that flow that comes from God's Venus. I came from it; you came from it; we all came from it. That's why we are Him: you could say that we all have a label, an echo of manufacturing from "the Origin.” This origin—our origin—is Universal Light. It is streaming into all places, everywhere, all at once, in every time. We receive God's Venus when we are open to receive His flow. We achieve this state of union—receiving what we need to receive in order to show up and hold ourselves in life with confidence and trust in ourselves—when we inhabit our deep Self.
The deep Self is the place of Truth and receiving: it is where we receive from God's Venus. We can either open to that, or we can constrict off. And whether we do or we do not determines how open we are to God.
Constriction is released when we let ourselves feel into Heart's Gateway. The deep Self is accessible only through the auspices of Heart's Gateway. We have to feel it rather than think it: we need a deeper willingness, albeit an easier willingness, to connect with that. We must allow ourselves to go into feeling Light in experience—Love.
Love is simply the flow of warmth felt in experience. It is a physical sensation percolated through the Heart. Everything comes through the Heart, or it doesn’t. It is Light.
God's Venus is received whenever we enter into His flow from His Venus: when we access the flow of life, Universal Light percolates into existence. It enters our conscious perception. By giving yourself fully to God's Venus, your Heart's Gateway is open, and you are able to achieve more fully the state of Unity Consciousness.
Unity Consciousness is simply the experience of forgiveness with the awareness of our altogether inseparable oneness in the present moment: it is the Light within. It is time to listen to that which is within; it is time to melt the Heart. It is time to connect with insight, intuition, guidance and instinct. All that comes from being in flow—from receiving what comes from God's Venus. It is time to listen to what comes from Spirit. It is time to listen to what comes from the Light.
Spirit is that flow that comes from God's Venus. It is all around us. It is Universal Light because it is from Universal Light. Light underpins everything, so it could be apt to say that we are all Spirit. We are receivers, and the flow from God's Venus gently arrives into our life through the greater information field of Spirit. However, our mind must be receptive—our conscious perception must do the work of receiving. When we open to receive Him—when we allow our minds to expand—we let Light in. Spirit reaches us.
Spirit reconnects us. Spirit shows us what we need to see in order to purify ourselves. When we purify ourselves, we are more fully able to open to the Light from God's Venus in perception. Will you open to Him?
The flow from God’s Venus is simply that which we would receive—his flow extends and is everywhere, but He cannot help us until we help ourselves. Opening to receive Him is about opening to communion with the flow of our Spirit—that which we are all connected to and find in the deepest recesses of our beingness. It is in our Hearts and minds when we are open to receive Him.
