Meeting the Venus Eclipse of the Sun
There are ways to meet the opportunities of this event,
methods that are valuable all the time, but especially now. I have written
about this in my Venus Eclipse book, but here I give a summary. If it’s too
brief, go to the book. The summary of the summary comes in step #5 below.
1.
All of our pictures of the world are powered by
energy. Giordano Bruno termed these “erotic phantasms.” Eros – passion, desire,
Venus! – motivate and energize phantasms – pictures of this-is-the-way-it-is,
dreams, visualizations, ideas....
2.
Eros/Venus will be stimulated and made turbulent
by the eclipse on June 5/6 (the exact time is less important as we are in this
rare celestial event – by anticipation – right now, and will be for some months.) That restless eros will
seek new images to empower.
3.
Marketers, especially of technological gadgets,
have used and will use this undirected eros. Going-with-the-flow on your part
accepts that the world will be imagined by corporate marketers.
4.
You can use that energy too by creating pictures
of the ideal for yourself and for the world – not vague woo-woo pictures but
rather very specific and detailed pictures of anything that arouses your
interest.
5.
For example, with the situation at Fukushima
still teetering on the edge of its largest explosion, you could imagine a that
the explosion does not happen, that heroic scientists work out how to remove
the fuels to a safe place, and that all species develop a capacity to learn
from and transform radioactivity. In terms of the mythic images in the VenusEclipse book, this means envisioning the taming of the divine fire-bird to subdue
its expressions on the earth.
6.
If you cannot go to new pictures – if the world
as it you perceive it holds you in its thrall, then you can focus on that
picture of how-things-are each night before sleeping. Look closely at the
details, and hold it in your mind, for just a few minutes. Spiritual beings
will take it up through the night and in the morning (or in a few days) you
will have an insight about how to penetrate even the most difficult problems.
7.
In any case, take this opportunity to cultivate
your relationship to ideals. Those imaginations will focus your desire – the restless
eros of this time – in ways that will be healthy for you and for everyone else.
