“It maybe deeply intellectually satisfying for all of us to meander through the intricacies of the potential of the true mind.
It’s like being Alice in Wonderland, because this is not our world. And the not-self is deep, deep, deep sickness. It’s what locks everybody in.
And it is what the program is about. The program drives us along a huge evolutionary arc. It is what it does. And it demands within that that we are obedient. And boy is the program good at that. We are driven, seduced.
We are deeply, deeply conditioned from the moment we open our mouths, from the moment that the first spoon goes in, the moment that the nipple goes in, we are homogenized, deep, deep, deep.
When that person walks in through the center, no matter that they are experimenting with their Strategy and Authority, we know that this powerful not-self mind has not in any way given up. It’s still there. It needs to be elaborated on.
The very first technique that you teach someone, that technique that I taught you in the first year - color transference - to train their passenger to begin to see that you have to begin to make sure that they understand the density of their conditioning.
Oh, needing to attract attention, yes, yes, and not knowing what direction, and not knowing what is enough is enough, always in a hurry and under pressure and holding onto things that are bad for them.
This is the not-self.
And it doesn't matter what the trajectory is for this being in its life. The not-self world is full of not-self heroes, not-self stars, not-self billionaires, not-self athletes, not-self everything.
We have been conditioned to believe that that expression of specialness within the not-self domain is actually just that, specialness; it is not. It is just another mechanism of control. They are all mechanisms of control. I may be a heretic, but I would never want the program to stop being in charge.
I understand that at the edges there is always a possibility to step to the other side.
There has to be, within the consciousness program, the extreme of those who break the covenant; otherwise, it would not be a truth.
Those beings who meet Human Design, who enter into their Strategy and Authority, yes it can definitely give them a better life.
But oh, the journey to be awake, that’s something else.”
