However, once an individual has awoken, which essentially means that they have become authentic, where does the awakening move from there? The answer, according to the Venus Sequence, is that it moves from the individual to the relationship. It moves along what Human Design terms as the ‘fractal lines’. The fractal line is what brings individuals together in the first place. The ancients called these relationships karmic relationships. The moment an individual has awakened, then the force of that awakening begins to move into their relationships. The most key relationship of all is between mother and child. When an awakened woman gives birth to a child, then that child will come into the world as itself, and what’s more, the child will be brought up without the conditioning of the not-self. Thus, the ancestral conditioning within that fractal line will have been broken. If on the other hand, the mother remains a victim of her culture and conditioning, then that not-self ‘wounding’ is genetically passed into her children at the point of conception.
Authentic Relationships and the Sacred Wound
Just as the Human Design System awakens the individual, so the Venus Sequence awakens Relationships, and in doing so, it passes the awakened mutation down the rest of the fractal. One of my first key realisations about the Venus Sequence was that in order to awaken a relationship, you only require one member of that relationship to awaken. The other person is then forced to either awaken or leave. The individual catalyses the relationship to become authentic, and when that happens, it sets off a chain reaction throughout the fractal. I have referred to this process in the past as ‘healing the sacred wound’, since it is a process which addresses the core issues within every relationship. It is also a ‘wound’ that has been here inside our genes from the beginning. Now is the time of the healing of the archetype of the mother and the father. Once this authenticity begins to travel down our DNA, then totally different kinds of children will come into the world.
So what exactly does an authentic relationship look like? Well, it isn’t perhaps what Hollywood would have us believe. As I understand the ‘sacred wound’, it is an in-built anomaly in our genetic makeup, and without it, we would not exist. In this sense, the terminology of ‘healing the wound’ is not quite right. The wound is never meant to heal because the wound is what makes us human. But it is meant to be kept clean. This is what the Venus Sequence does – it cleans out the issues in our relationships but it doesn’t necessarily take them away. This is not all about those rose-tinted new age couples teaching tantra. All our mythologies show that the sacred wound actually conceals our greatest gifts, and in trying to fix it, we actually stifle those gifts. If you have the idea that the Venus Sequence is a ‘Love and Light’ system then you have entirely the wrong impression. As Ra Uru Hu once pointed out, Venus is an archetype that also has a dark side and was worshipped by the Mayans as ruling executions.
