THE UNDEFINED SOLAR PLEXUS ISSUE: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DON'T HAVE FEELINGS?!!!

Ooh - This just gave me a peek into content possibilities for the new website (I finally - says my Mind lol - started poking around at it on Sunday - yay!)

Richard Rudd wrote -

“Perhaps one of the greatest discoveries that have emerged through the Human Design System is that, emotionally speaking; there are only two types of people in the world.

One of them is from Mars and the other is from Venus.

We always assumed that women and men were emotionally different, but it turns out that you can be a man and be from Venus and you can be a woman and be from Mars!

The revelation of the defined centre and the undefined centre has massive implications.

We are all victims of generalisation.

Nowhere is this truer than in our emotional lives.

The solar plexus centre has the greatest social impact on our planet.

For one thing, it is responsible for violence and war.

Thus, whenever I am face to face with an undefined solar plexus centre coming for their first Human Design reading I always feel rather out of my depth.

The information I am about to give them about themselves is going to shake the very bedrock of who they think they are.

Their whole life they will have been identifying with the emotions that they feel.

I know that it is probably going to take them years to disentangle all their emotional patterns.

It may take even longer if they have been working with a therapist, unless they are fortunate enough to have found a therapist who has learned not to interfere with people's designs.

This is the issue of this article - how to tell people that they have no feelings of their own.

If we are to make such outrageous and potentially dangerous statements, we had better be able to back them up with understanding and experience.

Personally, I would never tell someone such a thing, but try to find a way to draw them into the workings of their own design and let them discover it for themselves.

Having no feelings of your own is too much fuel for the not-self.

If you think you have no feelings, it gives you a license to abuse, blame and manipulate anyone you like.

I can hear the court-case now: 'Your Honour, it wasn't me that killed him. It was his feelings that made me!'

A recent question from a student of mine was: 'I know two people with undefined emotional centres (the centre remains undefined together) and they fight like crazy all the time.

How is this possible?'

The answer is simple - it wasn't them who were fighting - it was their parents.

If you have an undefined solar plexus and you know something of Human Design, I implore you to look at the designs of your parents.

If neither of them happens to be emotionally defined, it was probably your grandparents. Someone other than you is responsible for your patterns and it is never your fault.

That is the sentence that has to sink deeply into the cells of your body. It isn't your fault.

The undefined emotional centre is a dumping ground for emotional garbage.

I am reminded of Phillip Larkin's famous poem:

‘They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra, just for you.’

The point is that it isn't even your Mum and Dad's fault either. It is simply the way conditioning works in a world where we don't know who we are.

There is no blame and there is no need of shame, but most undefined emotional centres are filled with both.

The undefined emotional centre is so sensitive to the feelings of others that it unconsciously learns deep behavioural patterns that try to keep it away from the emotions of others.

Its prime pattern is to avoid conflict at all cost, and there are many ways of avoiding conflict - denial, withdrawal and pre-emptive attack being just a few.

The other irony is a deep Freudian truth that I have seen over and over again through my HD practice.

We seek out the same patterns in our relationships as we had with our parents.

We may chose intimacies that look totally new, but the chemistry turns out to be the same, and the very thing we are trying to escape is the thing we find ourselves caught in.

For the undefined solar plexus centre, this is all a huge journey.

You have to learn how to hold your own space.

You have to learn not to blame and not to hide, which means that you have to catch yourself in mid-pattern and accept that pattern without trying to change it.

If you are still avoiding, then you are still a victim.

Only when you have begun to clean out your own insides from your old patterns can you begin the delicate process of extricating yourself from the emotional patterns of others.

At this stage, that is as deep as I am prepared to go into a minefield.

My overall point is that if you have an undefined solar plexus centre, the mines are not outside yourself.

They are not people with emotionally defined centres.

Whoever you are with will activate the mines because they are inside you.

The mines were planted a long time ago in the first seven years of your life, and those mines have to be individually cleared and dug up.

The good news is that once they are gone, they are gone forever!”

Carole’s Undefined SP Adventures

@Carizma22 3/5 splenic P, has said yes to sharing this 😍

I love it when I get to be privy to an ‘experiment progress report’ from one of our Locals members.

Wanna celebrate with me? 🥳🤩🙌🏽

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

Cool witnessing Carole! 🤗

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?🤓)

And there’s a short video of @BeyondBeautiful and me first talking about “avoiding confront and truth” 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?

"Some ideas take decades"

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

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 🤗), and I first watched it a few hours ago.

I immediately thought what a great share it would be in here 🤩 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 🎢 we had on or radar for the last hour before the rides closed.

Wasn’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 🥳)

Ahhhh nothing to do, so much nothing to do 🥳🥰🍿

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 “One Thing At A Time,” 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!  💜

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 ‘rogue’ 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 – 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 – 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. These human groupings of mainly generators and projectors are also known as ‘Pentas’.

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!…

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 – 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 projector’s role is pivotal for life to be coherently organised.

But there is a great irony to it all for the projector – 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 ‘sort of’ 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 – 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 projector’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 – 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 us…"

Human Design knows the plan

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

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

Lucky us 🤗

Also, what a cool picture Chaitanya found 😍

- 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. It’s brought us an age of, within reason, trust. 

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. It’s not about that at all. It's about bringing the possibility of the richness of life to the next generation. 

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

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."
