Distracted Views … are everywhere.
“Think about the Nodal configurations [view/perspective] of any partnership—probably as important as anything that you can imagine. Think about what happens when you are motivated to see differently than you were intended to see. That’s huge conditioning.
You hear this all the time in the simple Hollywood level of any kind of romance, whatever the case may be. How many human beings are caught in seeing in a way that is not natural for them? That is simply the result of the conditioning of their partner, of their children, whatever. These underlying motivations are profound. Because again, yes the line is the line is the line, but the nuance is really everything. You see one of the disadvantages of Human Design is that by the very necessity of it being a new knowledge base we had to start from the top down. Nobody would have paid much attention if I started teaching bases before I taught body graphs.
We started from the top down. And we forget that it is not the gate and the line that is the activation. It is actually the base that is the activation, and that moving upwards from the base fills out the nuance of the potential, the chain that moves from the base to the surface. It’s not the other way around. It is built from that perfect bottom up. So it is beginning to learn about, that each and every one of the nuances of any given line, that to shift away from that on the surface, to be motivated incorrectly is to take away the deep nuance, and you get the homogenization.
And it’s not simply that we are not motivated correctly. That’s what I want you to grasp. What I want you to grasp is that by not being motivated correctly you are cut off from your source of cognition, the very thing that gives you the power, truly the power to be aware, in the nuance of the way in which you’re intended to be aware, it’s lost. It’s just gone, and there is this thing that isn’t you that’s living your life, wearing your clothes, making love to your partners. It’s not you! It’s not. It’s dense. It’s not aware.
See, this is the whole thing to grasp. The one thing that the monopole can’t do is that the monopole cannot assure the quality of the environment that it holds together. It can’t. It is as much a reflection of that environment as anything else. It is in the G center. It is the identity. It is the place where the whole Wheel is held together.
It is the source of the whole illusion. And as the illusion lives, so it gives off its identified magnetic wave. The not-self is a very, very powerful creature. It’s a powerful creature. They’re all over the planet. They’re in your house. They’re in your neighborhood. They’re in your life. They’re everywhere, and they’re not who they are.”
