Whatcha been up to? šŸ¤”

I have a small problem to solve as far as sharing stuff I find for posting in here - pasting from FB has stopped working via tha Locals app!

Just realized I oughta ask support about that ā€˜cause itā€™s hindered two posts already. Boo. :)

In other news, have been needing a lot of rest since starting down the Your HD & Your Business offer trackā€¦

I found myself at my laptop (first time on over a week Iā€™d guess) ā€¦ ā€œIā€™m not deadā€ is what came out as I went to post in the pop-up group for those buyers yesterday lol. I think it was yesterday šŸ¤”

Then I felt new energy for the project.

Slid around the pieces that had me stuck for the moment (with new possibilities for those still stewing- but back burnered for now) ā€¦

I can see now that Iā€™d set a linear outline/ flow that might make sense for consuming, but thatā€™s not how it comes out of me.

So yesterday, I fleshed out the basics (good enough for now) of the Story Selling Unit - and wove in Dave and Matt as my support system via an affiliate link.

Thatā€™s so much more ā€œmeā€ ā€¦ as soon as I saw that clearly, it was easy for it to come together.

And then I noticed, after about 2 hours ā€¦I was at ā€˜good enoughā€™ ā€¦ ie. someone else could come to it and have stuff to consume that can stir their own new energy and possibilities.

From that sort of foundation is where more interesting conversations can be born from.

Once people are asking questions - everything literally flows.

Which reminds me of something else I finally found myself doing a few days - maybe a week ago.

I made an ā€œask me thingsā€ YouTube video. And it was so perfectly successful feeing to post it and almost right away have someone ask a question- which I video answered the next day.

Almost immediately, another person messaged ā€œI found you on YouTubeā€ and my Mind was like ooh, maybe this is something thatā€™ll be a thing.

But since then, nothing šŸ˜….

But itā€™s infrastructure. And thatā€™s never been a bad thing for me to have on hand.

Case in point - for the Story Selling Unit - the page I worked on yesterday I was able to utilize 3 short videos of my own that were created across 4 years for that. Who knew that theyā€™d all live together on this particular one page - no one - till it made sense for them to. Yesterday.

Now if I can get in a habit (takes remembering itā€™s there) of pointing the people with a question who just wander into my inbox - minus a specific invitation and recognition for me ā€¦ it really only works when they come ready to bare their soul ā€¦ till then, pointing to that video could be a thing. :)

I can find the link and drop it into a comment below. Or you can hunt for it - itā€™s on my Doing Business as Yourself YT channel.

Other things Iā€™ve been up toā€¦

Lots of video watching - both Netflix series and YouTube following. Weird assortment of topics.

Lots of current events through the lens of my ever-skeptical 3rd line and also the lens of those even more skeptical than I šŸ˜‚ ā€¦ systems are falling apart at a rapid pace ā€¦ itā€™s wild to watch and at the same time feel zero panic. But thatā€™s how it is for me. Popcorn is available.

Feel more concern about things like moving a hose out of the way as John heads towards it with the mower (last time I mowed, I sliced into a long one lol)

The other core themes that seem to be holding my attention are relationships and survival - also foundation-type topics eh?

We find ourselves without any large loans outstanding ā€¦ well except for a stupid student loan I incurred late as I was ā€œlooking for directionā€ - what a mistake that was ā€¦ except also maybe not.

Because then as my kids have come up against those decisions, I was able to guide them away from that track that our culture would have them on.

ā€œJust say no to school loansā€ was the wisdom I was able to offer with clarity and zero hesitation. So far one is past that temptation and the other will either heed me or find out for herself - so far sheā€™s found a paid-for 100% by grants track - or so she tells me. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Anyway, I digressā€¦

So we find ourselves without any large overhead costs (no mortgage, building finally paid for, no car notes) ā€¦ but again - infractructure is the word that comes to mind.

Home improvements and maintenance have definitely been deferred in the course of getting here (for example) and I can see a season of that for the next few years.

Now is the time for that because John is still young enough (he turned 58 this year) to have the interest and the energy. And anything that we refresh/replace/upgrade now oughta last for 15-20 years. Could be the last time itā€™s necessary. šŸ¤”

Those sorts of projects also stir my production pot.

Real life project goals that my own efforts can support - with funding.

In the words of Zig Ziglar -

ā€œYou can have everything you want in life if you just help other people get what they wantā€

Thatā€™s what gets me moving.

Thatā€™s how I get direction.

Thatā€™s where I receive #projectorsuccess level recognition.

But the spark is always - resources for my tribe here at home.

Thatā€™s how my Design is wired.

Nothing else moves me quite the way resources for the tribe does :)

Planet Andrea and itā€™s many parts is the other 1/2 of this tribal synergy. Being within that circle puts you on radar. My interest in you getting what you want is elevated. Me helping you get what you want is the key ā€¦ the secret.

As is it with anything on the material plane.

Oh one other thing to add to this brain dump - Iā€™ve also been in consulting relationship with a couple of private clients this year - and one of them recently drew me back into funnel building.

Which has me revisiting my own flows - and caused me to stumble across an email about a launch for a software that makes building quiz funnels easy.

Have always wanted to create a sort of ā€œchoose your own adventureā€ type funnel - have attempted in the past with a ā€œdoorā€ system for people to step through, but the technology wasnā€™t ready to do that in a way that was visually easy (I just had this memory of me designing my first website years back - I couldnā€™t figure it out until I broke out a legal pad and used a page for each page in the website flow šŸ˜) - this new software appears to be the solution Iā€™ve been waiting for.

So I wanna play.

Play and brainstorm about refining systems. Mine, yours, whoeverā€™s shows up.

Itā€™s a launch email for that software that caught my eye - a couple days late, but still, it was interesting to watch myself write an email to my own (oldest) list to invite along. This is maybe the 2nd email Iā€™ve sent this year šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Like riding a flippin bicycle I tell ā€˜ya.

So yeah thatā€™s part of next steps for me. Some sort of choose your own adventure system that can weave together my different infrastructures (seems to be the word of the day - and not because itā€™s in the news ā€¦ but maybe šŸ¤”)

And let people self-filter through to Planet Andrea and even ON Planet Andrea.

Could use your help with that for sure.

Of course, in-person tours are necessarily the most expensive - for all concerned. Or they should be ā€¦ sometimes my open head gets caught up in the concerns of people who havenā€™t bought their ticket - I continue to notice that - and the related bitterness šŸ¤“

Automation is the solution - it can serve many more via self-filtering (value adding) systems, with some high touch portals like this community in the mix.

Well - that got to rambling šŸ˜Š

Whatā€™ve your been up to?

What is it that you want next?

Maybe I can lend you my thoughts :)

Of course youā€™re welcome to step into any of the projects / explorations I currently have rolling - should your Authority be a yes for that šŸ‘šŸ¼

Carole’s Undefined SP Adventures

@Carizma22 3/5 splenic P, has said yes to sharing this šŸ˜

I love it when I get to be privy to an ā€˜experiment progress reportā€™ from one of our Locals members.

Wanna celebrate with me? šŸ„³šŸ¤©šŸ™ŒšŸ½

This next one is a tale of Caroleā€™s undefined solar plexus adventures, originally posted in a Projector fb group.

Cool witnessing Carole! šŸ¤—

Thread gist in comments (screenshots) and a somewhat messy screen grab video of the video recommended in one of the OP comments she received included below (above?šŸ¤“)

And thereā€™s a short video of @BeyondBeautiful and me first talking about ā€œavoiding confront and truthā€ which includes a story I often have told about John and the very first real time glimpse I saw this undefined solar plexus dealie irl. Can find.

Blew my mind.

I know there are several splenic Authority folks in here, maybe you have stories to share too?

Lindy Lee - Australian Artist

"Some ideas take decades"

This is pretty inspiring. She reckons she's finally finished her apprenticeship at 70 šŸ’œ

Fun add-on HD irl example - this was shared in Vanessa's group on FB, The Art of Being You by another appreciative group member (thank you Kathrin šŸ¤—), and I first watched it a few hours ago.

I immediately thought what a great share it would be in here šŸ¤© but it landed pretty quickly on my 'roundtooit list.

Maybe to get shared here, maybe not. Tbh, the hold up was that I didn't really want to share a FB link in here, so I was looking (investigating) around to see if it was on another platform.

Hadn't found it yet.

Then it turns out that @NaimR wasn't able to view it from Canada (someone is blocking it for Canada ? wha?) and she said as much on the thread in Vanessa's group.

And you know what kicks in?

My Design (19/49 and Markets internal in particular), which had me heading this way anyway - at some point ... maybe... but I always get a little boost of focus from ...

The rain that cooled off the end of our day.

There were three roller coasters šŸŽ¢ we had on or radar for the last hour before the rides closed.

Wasnā€™t to be, but we did find this nice place to sit and wait out the deluge that started right after we grabbed a great smoked BBQ supper.

And ooh it cooled everything off perfectly. And gave us some rest before we found our way back to the car (which was parked on the very first row of priority parking šŸ„³)

Ahhhh nothing to do, so much nothing to do šŸ„³šŸ„°šŸæ

Color 1 Determination: Appetite - a song for Alternating/Consecutive PHS folks

This is a post and audio from @BeyondBeautiful - Valerie Montgomery, Self Projected Projector

"I wanted to make this breakfast and found myself rushing.

Now, you might be interested to know I have Alternating Determination, which means I need to do things ā€œOne Thing At A Time,ā€ which turns out to be the title of the song I made up to shift the energy of starting to make this breakfast.

I also have an Undefined Root, so it always feels like I need to get rid of the pressure. Also known as feeling rushed to do things.

It would have been lovely to have my cat fix my breakfast, and I had the time, so..

Also being Self Projected my authority comes out through my speaking, or in this case, singing."



Great awareness and share, thank you Valerie!  šŸ’œ

Make You Feel My Love - A Gate 1 Melancholy & mundane Emotional Wave Story

Not sure that's the right title for this, but it's what came out so I'm rolling with it.

This story began in a FB group. Where many of my stories do.

I can't actually remember the thread or how we ended up in messenger, but the reason we did was because 5/1 Projector with Gate 1 on an undefined G center ... had music of hers to share but hasn't been able to share it so far.

Am still waiting to see if the rest of the story gets shared with me.

So she asked me what sort of music I liked and did I want something more abstract (I think it was) or a vocal cover. I chose vocal cover and she picked this one.

I felt it to my core.

Not sure if part of that was related to some of what she'd already (not intentionally) told me ... 5th line folks can take a lot of patience to draw out - that's been my experience so far anyway.

Some feel interesting enough to spend the energy on :) That's true here.

A kind of sidenote to this is that both my Uranus Opposition (40ish yo) and Chiron (50ish yo) charts carry a 3/5 and it feels like, though I'm not a 5th line - I do sort of get ...

THE ISSUE OF PROJECTORS - HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO WAIT?

by Richard Rudd

"There is one big key to understanding Projectors, and it can only be found by looking at the bigger picture.

We know that statistically, Projectors make up 21% of the population. That means that for every five people, more or less, there is one Projector.

Those are interesting numbers, especially when they are considered within the context of how Gene Pools operate.

There is a mysterious circuit within the Bodygraph that is curiously known as the WA. The WA holds the secret to the choreography of all human gene pools.

One day, when these aspects of Human Design are explored in more depth, we will be able to see how groupings of individual designs come together in the same way as cells bind together to create the organs within our bodies.

For those who baulk at the idea that we have no choice, this is frightening stuff.

The WA shows how different human designs are collectively organised and herded together to perform certain functions within the greater body of humanity.

Imagine then, that humanity is a body like your own body. There are only 4 types of cells, each with their own sub-programming.

At one extreme, you have a small amount of ā€˜rogueā€™ cells, independent bodies that are designed to operate outside the loop of the mainframe programming. Ironically however, these manifestor cells are just as dependent upon the whole as any other type. They are simply programmed to appear independent.

At the other extreme, you have a tiny percentage of early-warning cells ā€“ these unusual cells have no programming of their own but are designed to take accurate readings of any cellular environment they move through.

In every sub-culture you will find a few of these cells reflecting the health of the local environment. Their role is to warn the overall intelligence of the body of any potential disruptions to the organism. They are called reflector cells.

The bulk of the cellular life of the body (91%) is made up of the two most common kinds of cell ā€“ generator cells and projector cells.

These 2 types are designed to interlock with each other. The generator cells collectively create the life of the organism. They are pure energy cells buzzing day and night, maintaining and building the whole.

Projector cells are unique. They have no propulsion of their own, so they drift around on the endless energy currents created by the generator cells.

You might imagine how easy it would be for a projector cell to feel that it had no purpose within the body.

However, each projector cell actually has a very specific purpose (some have more than one), but that purpose can only be realised when certain energy cells (generators) dock in with the projector cell to receive instructions.

Since the projector has no propulsion, it is powerless to initiate this process, but has to allow the generator cells to recognise them and dock in within their own timing. This recognition process takes place through a coded lock and key programme built into these 2 types at birth.

In other words, every projector holds multiple keys that fit an enormous array of locks. When a key does not fit a lock it is very obvious!

Through the knowledge of the WA, we know that the basic genetic unit is 5.Ā These human groupings of mainly generators and projectors are also known as ā€˜Pentasā€™.

The nuclear family is a family of five.

Statistically, that is four generators and one projector. As an archetype, the role of this fifth projector is to maintain the stability of the 4 generators.

Right, this next part is where it gets spooky, so hang on to your seats and try and stay with me!ā€¦

Just as this fifth projector draws together the 4 generators to form a penta, this penta then takes on a life of its own. It also seeks something greater to dock into, and this is known as an OC16.

Pentas (groups of 5 human beings) seek out another projector, known as an alpha. Alpha projectors naturally dock together with three pentas, making 16 people (including the alpha).

The moment you have 16 people together, you actually have the foundation of an entire gene pool, which then continues to grow exponentially.

Right. I am going to stop there. Whether you were able to follow any of that or not, I am trying to make a point ā€“ which is that if you are a projector, you are genetically coded to have others (specifically generators) recognise you and approach you.

This is the foundation of the success of humanity as a species. The projectorā€™s role is pivotal for life to be coherently organised.

But there is a great irony to it all for the projector ā€“ which is that there is nothing for them to do until they are recognised.

Every projector knows when the key fits. Every cell in their body lights up.

They also know when it only ā€˜sort ofā€™ fits.

Those are the critical moments for projectors. If the fit is not perfect, they have to smile sweetly and turn away.

So how long does a projector have to wait? Well, forever.

There is a deep secret for projectors going through their deconditioning ā€“ that is, waiting itself transforms the cells.

The relief of not trying to make keys fit when they do not want to fit, releases a huge pressure from the projectorā€™s life.

But it is also clear from my own experience of observing projectors that they are not always able to immediately throw away keys that do not fit.

Sometimes those keys may provide their livelihood, and they have to hold on to them until they find the correct keys to replace them. That takes courage ā€“ to wait knowing something is wrong and you are powerless to change it.

I have a vast admiration for any projector going through their deconditioning, and I have also learned that I can never move forward in life without the presence of projectors in key roles around me.

Projectors, if you cannot be patient, there is no hope for any of usā€¦"

Human Design knows the plan

This is a little outside of my 'care' zone, but can see the things we've trusted faltering.Ā 

I think Human Design is here to offer Ā people awareness to be able to weather what would otherwise feel like impossibly stormy times.

Lucky us šŸ¤—

Also, what a cool picture Chaitanya found šŸ˜

- A


"The knowledge was given so that human beings could be equipped to live in an age in which there was nothing they could trust.

This is what the Cross of Planning has brought us. Itā€™s brought us an age of, within reason, trust.Ā 

That the trains will run on time, that the electricity will be there, that all of those things will work, that our children will have teachers in their schools, that the garbage will be picked up and on and on and on.

All the things that the Cross of Planning has brought us, the institutionalization of science and the spreading of all kinds of technologies that enhance the potential for the increase in human population, the increase in the potential of the gene pool, the increase in the potential for the unusual, the mutative.

Human Design is not about the time of the Cross of Planning. Human Design knows the plan. Itā€™s not about that at all. It's about bringing the possibility of the richness of life to the next generation.Ā 

If the stellar family teaches us anything itā€™s that even the gods, even the remotest forces in the stream are concerned about the generations and the movement of information.Ā 

There are certain stars in the sky that could not exist until other stars had died. The fact that human beings and certain brain functions, elements in our brain, that can only exist after the death of stars, we are so deeply connected to them. We live very close to one. That is our shelter and our light."
