Charity - Choice - Creation - Consistency: the 4 designs for living

Still deeper still down into the lush growth of the tree, we find an understanding that is a road map for living our lives as spiritual beings having a human experience. If we follow this road will we rise to a high level of vibration and disappear in the ether? Of course we will not. We will experience being in the moment and having much easier access to our Higher Self through these designs.

What follows is a direct transcription of what I was given by God during a period of fasting in extreme conditions. I have only edited it to the extent that I realize in retrospect that I made typographical and syntax-related errors while transcribing the message under physically trying circumstances.

The 4 Designs for Living

Charity
Choice
Creation
Consistency

"Leave everything you know behind…"

These designs are really ways of being. Living equals being. The whole sphere of spiritual evolution for humans has been vastly exaggerated by the human need for complexity. I (God) come to you now with a true way of being connected with Me. The 4 designs are those of Me (God). They are how I hold each of you and are available to you for I am with you, in you, and inseparable from you.

Living/being all 4 designs creates heaven on earth no matter where you are or what you are doing. These are all that anyone needs. This message is appropriate now because so many humans are turning to their awareness and seeking Grace. In the matter of healing in which Venare is so concerned and involved, there is a need for healing and it comes from living the 4 designs from within each of you. No one can heal another. Each person can only heal himself. This was My design to prevent egos from dominating one another at the level of healing-of controlling the reconnection, the knowing of Me.

Venare is to take these experiences and make them available to all who want them for free (charity, FOR-GIVE-design #1). He may use the Internet, publication, personal appearances, anything that he chooses. Those with skills in other languages will come to him to translate these (My) words.

Design 1: Charity

Charity means FOR-GIVE and GIVE-FOR. To FOR-GIVE is to accept whatever comes your way and includes accepting yourself. This has been described as love (unconditional acceptance) and that description is true. Many have difficulty with the description so I have chosen for English to use Charity, which is also rooted around FOR-GIVE and GIVE-FOR.

GIVE-FOR is to provide for yourself only what you need to be the 4 designs. That is why charity comes first. GIVE-FOR then means to let go of what you don't need. Nothing "belongs" to You anyway. Everything is part of the great collective of energy that makes up all things including Me. You are only temporary custodians of any form of energy including your bodies and personalities. All came from the collective and is the collective.

How to be charity? By the way, being and doing merge together at the level of the 4 designs. They become synonymous and simultaneous. When being one (or all) of the 4 designs, the doing is natural and unimpeded. Back to how to be charity. These are the rules, yes, rules.

1. See Me in everyone and everything including, and most of all, yourself. For every person you encounter, see Me. Know that Me equals You equals US. See US in all that is around you. Be constantly aware of the connectivity of everything.
2. Take only what you need to be the 4 designs and leave the rest. The less you have, the more (of US) that you have. If you live the 4 designs, you will have what you need to live the 4 designs. Accumulation never, never has brought anyone to know Me, and thus know US.

Consider all other life on your planet. They neither covet nor accumulate yet they live and prosper. Man alone was given the ability to covet and accumulate so that he could "choose" to do otherwise in order to be with Me/US. This of course raises the question as to why did I do this? Why humans? Why the disconnection from Me? This will be revealed after the 4th design has been explained.

Design 2 - Choice

Choice and consequences is the way that humans move through their moments [of time]. Human life is measured in moments, the constantly occurring NOW. Each moment has choices associated with it. You can choose this or something else. Even when not conscious of having choice, the choice is there.

Every choice has a consequence associated with it. Choices are made usually because of the consequence. The consequences selected are usually those of the material or emotional. This brings us back to the merging of "be and do" that I described earlier. When we choose to manipulate the world or other humans, the being is taken out of the doing. This brings us to the question of how to make choices that meld being and doing? If the choice you make is a charitable one, then being and doing are melded. What does this take? It takes an awareness of all of the consequences of a choice inasmuch as you know them. I do not ask you to know all of the consequences of a choice. I did give you intelligence to fathom the obvious ones. The important thing is [to] have awareness that there are consequences. Venare at this moment wants to break his fast and camp, and go home. That is a choice that is his. If he does that then the 4 designs will not be completed. What is the charitable choice? He can see that the charitable choice is to stay on to finish the work he asked for. He is applying Rule #1-See Me in all things. Thus seeing Me denotes the choice that is charitable and melds being and doing.

Although you may not fathom all of the consequences, you can always choose Me. If you simply place your awareness on Me, then the charitable choice will be clear and obvious. Ask and I will show you the charitable choice. Always. The key is that the charitable choice is always the one that includes love. As for Venare and his choice, if he chooses to stay and finish, he does so from love, the acceptance of what he is doing and being complete with that.

This brings us to the two types of choices. The first is the seminal choice. Seminal choices set a direction, intention, goal. They are major moments in a lifetime. Examples are the choice of career, partner, where to live, friends, and so forth. Once a seminal choice is made, then the choice is sustained or destroyed via the second type, subsequent choices. Subsequent choices have the greater importance for they determine the actual course of a life. The selection of where to go is not as paramount as the journey that takes one in that direction.

Subsequent choices are the journey that never ends even when and if the seminal choice is rescinded. An example is an intimate partnership-the choice of another human with whom to share life. That is a seminal choice. Years of subsequent choices define how that relationship is experienced, and it may endure until the passing of one of the partners, or one partner (or both) may decide to rescind the choice and the partnership itself is ended, BUT there are many more subsequent choices to make even if the two are not together. Each thought about the other person is a subsequent choice, charitable or not. So even if a seminal choice is rescinded it has put in motion subsequent choices that will endure for a lifetime.

Let us recap. So far, we have charity and choice. Charity is seeing the US in all things as we are all part of the great collective of energy. Charity is also placing awareness on the needs we have to reflect the US and not on our needs to dominate and to avoid domination (the "I am not good enough" primal abandonment defense). Design 2 is about choice and consequences. We meld being (charity) and doing (choice) at the level of accessing the US moment by moment. Charitable choices, moment by moment, lead to a fulfilled life. Choices have either a seminal (direction setting) or subsequent (the journey in the direction) quality. Once a seminal choice has been made, there will be subsequent choices until one passes on.

Thus simply stated, charitable choices reflect the US and are inherently fulfilling.

Design 3 - Creation

Creation is the purposeful use of charitable choice to "have," thus completing the trilogy of BE-DO-HAVE. Creation is the bringing forth, purposefully, of that which reflects Me and the US. When humans create out of charitable choice they reflect the US such that all who are touched by it have an experience of the US.

How does a human know what his/her creative acts are? A human act is either a creation or duplication. Duplications are repetitions of creations. The first time a human does something unique for that person he/she has creation. An infant taking its first step has created walking. From then there will be millions of duplications of that creation. Duplications serve to provide energy to the original creation.

Creations are "havings." So every act is either a creation or duplication. In the cosmic consciousness [the US], the great collective of energy, rests all of creation. There is nothing that a human can conceive that does not come from the collective. Since the US is the collective then all creations are Divine. All creations serve to either reinforce happiness or non-happiness. Non-happiness creations are nothing more than reminders of the absence of happiness (or bliss as some have called the experience of happiness). What is happiness? It is the contentment of having (the creation or duplication) that which is present in the moment. Sitting contentedly gazing at a cloud or madly skipping through a field of wildflowers are both happiness. Happiness is an inner state of being having chosen to find Me/US.

When a human experiences non-happiness he/she has chosen to not see the US in the moment. That state of non-happiness can be transformed to happiness in an instant by experiencing the US. The "have" is thus happiness.

Duplication is so important here. Take a moment of happiness and duplicate it. Doing so builds greater and greater awareness of the US. Take a moment of non-happiness and duplicate, and the awareness of the US becomes dimmer and dimmer until it disappears. That is why I have encouraged ritual amongst humans. If the ritual is happy, then the awareness of the US is reinforced. If ritual is rote without awareness of the US it serves only to submerge the US, and resentment or other "havings" of non-happiness are present.

The last part of creation is about callings. Each of you has a calling (a path) that was your choice prior to entering this life. Some of you are fully aware of your calling, and some are not. If you do not know your calling, ask me and it will be shown to you. Simply say aloud, "Lord show me what I am here to do." That is a creative act for you and duplications are helpful-they put additional energy and intent into the creation. One important point is that when you initially create and then duplicate, do so as an act of charity. Truly desire to know your path or calling as it reflects the US.

Once you know your calling go about creating it charitably by making choices that move you in the direction of the path. For each choice, before moving to creation, ask if the choice is charitable. If it isn't, then find the charitable choice and the result will be happiness or bliss. There is no greater reward than this.

Design 4 - Consistency

The last design binds the first three together in a pattern that evolves the human. It is not enough to be charitable, choose charitably, and create happiness once in a while. The more consistent a human is in applying all three, the greater his or her evolution, i.e., knowing the US. Do I expect perfection? All that you do is perfect because it either serves your evolution directly or indirectly. Direct service is charitably choosing to create happiness. Indirect service or lesson provides an opportunity [reminder] to shift to direct service.

How much direct versus indirect service is appropriate? It depends on how much and how quickly you want to evolve. This is another way of saying how much happiness do you want on the earth?

Awareness holds the key to your ability to accelerate direct service. Without awareness of the 4 designs there is no way to evolve. Some people are born with great awareness; others are blocked to it and must come to awareness through indirect service or lessons. This is all according to karmic law.

I want to be absolutely clear. Everyone has the potential to gain awareness of the 4 designs and to evolve. This is denied no one. Free will, as always for humans, is the determiner. You may ask why present the 4 designs now? Have not countless people been denied evolution for lack of knowledge? Of course not, there are many avenues to knowing Me. The 4 designs is another avenue that speaks to Everyone. It is not easy, especially the 4th design [consistency], but it is possible.

I hold no judgment on whether anyone chooses the 4 designs or any other avenue to know Me/US. I have presented through other humans many avenues. Many of which have been esoteric and guarded as "secret knowledge." That is why I want this message distributed widely and freely.

As to consistency if you elect this avenue (and it is compatible with others so you may combine the 4 designs with any other avenues) I ask that you conscientiously tune your awareness to apply the 4 designs as frequently as you can. You may want to begin with your family, an excellent starting point. Or you may start at work or with strangers. Remember the goal is true happiness that can only come form reflecting the US through charitable choices that create happiness.

Integration

How then does a human put all of this together? The nature of the 4 designs, if applied in the moment, is easy to implement. Like building muscle, repetition and going beyond what previously was done are the keys. Going beyond means in the number of opportunities taken. For example, if you begin to recognize the market clerk with a smile each time you encounter him/her, or say something that reflects love/acceptance, then that is enough for that opportunity. You don't need to escalate the charitable choice to create happiness by escalating the encounter to the point of inviting the person home to a meal. You could, but that is not the point. Pick another worker in the store or another customer, and smile or otherwise reflect the US. That is expanding on your opportunities.

As the proverbial snowball gains mass and momentum so will you [gain] happiness as you consistently use and expand the 4 designs.

As a final recap, first start with charity, seeing the US in everyone and everything and having only what you need to practice the 4 designs. There is no need to covet and accumulate if you practice the 4 designs. Second, be aware of your choice and choose that which reflects the US. Third, create happiness in you and around [you] by reflecting the US in all that you do especially in your calling. Fourth, be consistent in the application of the first three. Consistency makes all of this easier and easier.

Charitable choice creates happiness.

This is the end of the message from God as I directly received and wrote it. God did not during this time reveal the mystery of the human experience. I did receive that later during the fast in a vision. This is what I received. It is in my words, as I was not transcribing the vision as it occurred.

The purpose of a human existence is to demonstrate that through free will we can find our way back to God/the US and lead our lives as heaven on Earth. The understandings surrounding the 4 designs embrace and provide a means for satisfying our reason for existence. What remains unknown to me is what is accomplished by our finding our way back to God and the US? What is added to the great collective of energy and consciousness by success in our mission? This I do not know at the time of this writing. What I do know is that it is possible to achieve happiness, harmony, and fulfillment while in human form. Consistent charitable choices do create happiness.
