❤️ LOVE GATES

Sparkly: “I have gate 40.1 in my Unconscious Sun - I have the full channel 40/37. I often cook for my "tribe" and I love giving gifts.

My partner also has gate 40. We are both very alike in the way we show our love. We are very altruistic with eachother and with our friends. Then we take a break and do it all again. I have used this exact verbiage many times in my life "I do so much for you and you do not appreciate it" OR "Thank you for providing so much for me." When I look back at relationships with friends that eventually ended, there were themes of me feeling used and unappreciated and dreading being around the person.... and then kicking them out of my "tribe". What does kicking someone out of my tribe look like? For me it is a shift inside. I no longer have the energy for them, I even stop thinking about them. There is just no energy there for them. 🤷‍♀️”

"The Love Gates describe the many themes of love that we can experience with all the people in our lives. Because everything is a duality, these can also be gates of “I don’t love,” or even hate, as well.

Most of us have some of these gates consistently defined within us, and it’s through these gates that we can learn about love from our connection with others by being ourselves.

If you have an activated Love Gate in an open center, when someone comes along with the electromagnetic (the opposite gate completing that channel) you may experience that relationship as “The One” and most likely may feel a stronger sensation of love than the other feels for you.

If you have an activated Love Gate in a defined center, your love for the person who brings the electromagnetic simply isn’t as powerful or compelling. It’s still there, but you don’t have the same response. You’re naturally investigating other connectivities."

LOVE IS ALL ABOUT CONNECTIVITY

One thing we can all agree on: it is impossible to thrive in life without love. Love can seem like an eternal mystery, the idealized myth of fairytales… but when you begin to look at love through the lens of Human Design mechanics, you’ll find that love is all about connectivity.

There are certain hexagrams Gates in the Rave I-Ching that carry the frequency we call love. In Human Design we call these (hexagrams) the “Love Gates.”

Whether you have all the Gates of Love consistently defined in your bodygraph, none of them or something in between, the way you experience those feelings we term love is outlined in these ten gates. If activated in an undefined center, you will be conditioned by that gate anytime it gets defined. If the gate is open (not colored in) then you’re here to experience and can amplify all the ways love can show up in your life. Wisdom is derived here if operating correctly. Rely upon Strategy and Authority to make decisions and the love nurtures you in this life. Make decisions from trying to find or hang onto these themes of love in your life and witness the pain of the mind manifest your not self suffering.

THERE ARE TWO PRIMARY THEMES OF LOVE
💓 Transcendent and Mundane 💗

The four Transcendent gates of love are looking for love through the other, and are rather impersonal. Rarely do these gates carry the powerful, intense feelings of love that the Mundane gates do.

The seven everyday, personal, “Mundane” (as Ra called them) gates of love are looking for love with someone, emerging according to the theme of that gate.

There is one gate (10) that carries both Mundane and Transcendent Love themes.

💞TRANSCENDENT GATES OF "UNEARTHLY" LOVE:

💓10 Gate of Self Behavior is love for oneself, one’s presence in this world, life and death in it. And at the same time, it is the gateway to hatred for the same world.

💓25 Gate of Self Spirit gives us universal unconditional love. Just do not be confused – this is love not for the universe, but in the universe. A person with these gates can love his own thing (car, guitar, collection) more than his wife and children. It’s just that he is like that and his attitude is impersonal, but if he wants to love someone in particular, or if he is required to show feelings, then the relationship can completely freeze.

💓15 Gate of Extremity allows you to experience love for all humanity, and an all-consuming hatred for those who destroy and kill this world. On a personal level, people with 15 gates in the Bodygraph don’t care who they love. That is, they cannot love a specific person, they love their very love. Looking at a potential partner, they wonder if he is worthy of my love? And if the object is recognized as suitable, then love begins.

💓46 Gate of Self-Determination is love and hate for forms (body). These gates can overtake strong fears and eerie complexes in your mind. Only with the adoption of your own forms can you learn to love your body and the bodies of other people. Throw away hatred for your own and other people’s physical disabilities. Your love will move to a higher, one might say, spiritual level, and your soul will receive the necessary experience on the physical plane.

💞MUNDANE - GATES OF ""EARTHLY LOVE

Mundane Gates of love are looking for love with somebody through the dynamic connection and unique expression particular to each gate. There is nothing more intense than the definitions in composite charts that involve these gates when they bring connections to each other.

Each of these Gates carries with it a demand for personal connectivity. It is through these seven Mundane Gates - 10, 44, 40, 58, 41, 28, 55 - that we get our illusions of personal love
.
Mundane gates of love operate through mundane terminology or keynotes - that is, this is the ordinary, every day, earthbound kind of love that finds love through these gate specific themes with another.

Which of these gates lead you to experiencing love through these unique aspects of love with the other?

Such gates generate Love for another individual, which is simpler and more understandable for universal human morality. The experiences brought about by worldly feelings are always felt brighter and more intense than those caused by non-personal, abstract Love.

Mundane Love Gates in Human Design

💓10 Gate of Self Behavior (simple activation) is true love of life. At its best, it is also self-love, regardless of external evaluations. Usually such people just need to have someone who loves them, thereby increasing their self-esteem: “Since they love me, then there is something worthwhile in me, and therefore I can love myself.” If no one loves them, they fall into a severe depression with the main leitmotif: “Well, love me, at least someone.”

💓44 Gate of Vigilance is a love of talent and recognition. The bearer of this gate loves you for making your union a success. This is always a priority for him. In the false “I”, such people slide down to ascribing all the merit to themselves: “Our success is my merit.” If the partner does not justify his hopes, then the ruthless one is banished from life. Such categorical actions are pushed by the fear of the past – “this is how worldly glory passes.”

💓40 Gate of Loneliness is an almost altruistic love of working for the good of a partner. Such people work a lot to get resources, and they do it not out of a desire to work, but under the pressure of their own willpower. They need material goods in order to exchange them for the care and affection of their partner, especially if that 37 gates are defined. In the voice acting of the false “I” it sounds something like this: “I do everything for you, I have earned your love, now you simply have to love me”, in a larger version: “Look, here is my contribution to this world, now respect, love me, be proud of me. ”

💓58 Gate of Vitality is corrective love. It is constant pressure to criticize in order to improve your partner. In the presence of tact, these are correct hints and timely correction. For example, “Honey, you are beautiful, but you could become even more beautiful, come on, I will tell you how.” This is not a prodding, but a form of love when the best is not perceived as the enemy of the good. When the power takes the false “I”, the desire to improve can transform into a dictate: “You must act as I say, because it will be better and more correct”, “Stop smoking, do not wear a short skirt, do not paint, I consider it indecent” …

💓41 Gate of Compression is desire, this is sex, but it is also anxiety that you cannot experience in real life, but you really want to. In normal manifestation, a person’s fantasies are realized through romantic adventures, erotic literature, sexual experiments, and dreams of someone and something else. At the apogee, fantasies replace the real world, the partner never reaches the ideal, and life turns into an eternal race for a pipe dream.

💓28 Player’s Gate is the birth of purpose and fear of losing the purpose and meaning of life. The chosen one must definitely inspire and endow with a goal. This is a voice that says: “I love you, because you make me aware and lead me, without you I have no purpose, no sense.” The trouble with such people is that they are looking for a physical goal and suffer when the mind loses it or gets stuck on the road to it. Relationships for them often turn into a long-running race without a finish. They need a goal – a state, and they need to move towards it not through the mind, but with the heart in accordance with their inner motives. Then there will be a clear sensation of the fulfillment of your destiny

💓55 Spirit Gate is the only love gate located in the emotional center. Moreover, they never give clear answers, but only give rise to a lot of emotional questions: “We have been together for 10 years, but I don’t know if you love me, what if you hate me? I don’t know. Are you pretending? ” And that’s okay for this gate. This is a striving for sublime, poetic love, those passions and feelings that are akin to art. 55 The gate is always in anticipation of something that can never be achieved.

💯When a person knows what to expect from his partner, what topics are close to him, and why he himself reacts to everything that happens in a certain way, it becomes much easier to come to a reasonable compromise and not bang each other’s nerves. The Human Design System, just the same, provides such an opportunity – to better understand yourself and your loved ones.

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."
