Spotted this question in one of the FB groups - it came from a Manifestor:
“Does any other open egos find it hard to fully relax around an ego being?”
There were a couple of interesting answers (and one really dumb one - from a gal who’s HD guidance biz is built from the Karen Curry school if I recall correctly… gah that shitty foundation just gets my goat)
Sharing the interesting ones here :)
Di Vin (a 1/3 Gen of some kind - typically really solid and thorough in her comments) commented:
“Depends on the ego. Undefined Egos are here to become wise about spotting healthy egos.
My boyfriend has the 26-44 and though he compromise my 26… it’s refreshing to be around a healthy ego.
He gives me access to a sense of willpower and self-worth when I’m with him.
I think he can sense that I’ve had a lot of deconditioning around my ego. I don’t just say yes to things to try to seem committed or worthy.
The old me might feel “less than” around his healthy chin-up ego.
But it makes a difference knowing I have “nothing to prove”.
My mom on the other hand has the 25-51, and I feel an uncomfortable pressure to be competitive around her, which is totally unnatural for me, and not my trip.”
Oof that 25/51 when it’s the only channel in a chart has been a serious learning curve for me for sure -
And this is from someone I’m not familiar with - sharing an Immersion experiment experience.
(THIS is the kind of practical experimenting I think could be fascinating to see in person)
She was answering this:
Q. “Interesting question. Could it also be the other way around?”
A. “During Human Design Immersions experiments are done with all undefined or all defined ego’s leaving the room. It feels comfortable for both groups [when divided up this way]
Defined ego’s usually feel that they don’t have to make themselves small anymore.
Being completely open, I sensed the same in my body when the defined group left the room during one experiment.
The interesting thing is that when they entered the room again, the uncomfortableness didn’t return.
I got a relaxed, proud and mighty sensation through my whole body.
My guess is that the defined ego’s had relaxed into taking their space when they were distanced from the sensitivity and amplification of the open ego.”
I thought that was really fascinating.
This was my comment:
“Appears to depend on the health of the ego and to definitions for me too.
I have Gate 21 activated on an undefined ego - has definitely been a place I’ve gotten to learn a lot.
Now I seem to draw many defined ego folks to me. 🤷🏻♀️”
