Koen’s Ra Quote of the Day (let’s see if he delivers all 4, if not, maybe I dig them up :) )
Are you from the quarter of initiation? This is determined by finding your Personality Sun (the top black gate on your chart) on the mandala.
The particular Quarter is listed on the most interior ring on the second image below -
1. Initiation - Purpose fulfilled through Mind (this is me)
2. Civilization - Purpose fulfilled through Form
3. Duality - Purpose fulfilled through Bonding
4. Mutation - Purpose fulfilled through transformation
Now here’s Ra:
Quarter of Initiation
“So here I am, a Sun in 51 in this Quarter of Initiation and my purpose is fulfilled through mind.
So here I am with my mental teaching as an archetype. In other words, when you‘re looking at this larger thematic you see something very important.
Remember, incarnation is about purpose. What we‘re trying to show you is the costume of fulfilling your purpose, how it‘s going to look if you‘re correct, that you live out your design, that you follow your strategy.
And as long as you‘re doing that, slowly the costume begins to fit and then you get to see that if you come in on that first Quarter, if that costume really fits you, that purpose of yours gets fulfilled through mind. The mental plane means everything.
Now, think about your Cross and think about the fact that because the Cross is determined in the way in which it operates through the Personality Sun, it means that the purpose being fulfilled through mind is at the expense of it being fulfilled through form, through any of the other possibilities that are there.
This is really the final stage of surrender; to recognize the real limitation and the real limitation is I cannot be fulfilled through form.
I can remember in the early years everybody saying to me, ―Come on, build a school, build a school, build a school; physically build one.
I‘m not fulfilled through form.
It‘s not the building of the school that was going to concretize Human Design. My purpose would not have been fulfilled through that. My purpose is fulfilled through mind.
And somebody else, somewhere down the road, they‘ll build the buildings, they‘ll build the form, and they‘ll be Civilization people whose purpose is only fulfilled through form.
The guy that builds the clinic where great things can save people, who could never go to medical school because he was too dumb, but he made a lot of money.
And he gets to fulfill himself not through mind; he doesn‘t get to be the great doctor that saves the life.
He gets to fulfill himself through the form. He builds the clinic. And if he‘s still jealous that he‘s not the doctor he‘s not surrendered and his game is over.
Then you get to see when you look at this keynote of this Quarter you get this magical insight into what purpose is about.
We only have these four general themes of purpose. The rest of it is all just little nuances. I actually just toot that there‘s mind. ―The mind‘s the answer.‖ Toot, toot.
And there are all those other hexagrams and all those other lines in their Crosses out of those 16 that all fulfill that whole process of mind. And all that purpose fulfilled through mind ultimately is mind. It is the global mind. It is the consciousness of the totality and so forth and so on.
And then you get to see who you work for in life.
Some of us work for mental forces and some of us work for form forces and so forth and so on and you go around and you begin to see, aha, and you begin to see this incredible—I love seeing perfect patterns.
It‘s so incredible to think of the density and complexity of existence, just the complexity of an amoeba, let alone a person, how incredible all this is.
Ok, so we start with Initiation. We see this as purpose fulfilled through mind. And mystically, this is: The witness returns.
In other words, the whole business of Personality consciousness is that we incarnate, that we do return and we return as passengers to witness our process again; or to witness the process again, whatever it happens to be.
We will all incarnate through different Quarters. In other words, it‘s not like we‘re going to be restricted.
Remember, the only thing that a Personality Crystal repeats endlessly is Base. And it only repeats Base as long as we‘re in this form, in this matrix. In other words, this is a consistent element in the Personality Crystal.
However, we will incarnate through the different Quarters. That‘s part of our learning process, to go through this larger theme of what this wheel represents.
So, this Quarter of Initiation, the witness returning, here is the responsibility for consciousness.
It isn‘t to say that the other Quarters don‘t participate in consciousness. Obviously they do through the arms of the Crosses and so forth and so on.
But the reality is that if you‘re looking at this as a corporation and you‘re looking at basic divisions in that corporation, that Initiation, that division is only responsible for consciousness.
They are the mind game and they are the witness. They are the ones who must return. And who must return and explore at the next level in the spiral, explore at the next level what it is to be in this incredible mutative vehicle of ours, in this whole environment and everything else.
Then you get to see the magic of the first 16 hexagrams.
If you‘ve got your Sun in one of those 16 hexagrams, you now have a way of recognizing why you‘re here.
In other words, recognizing why you‘re here in the sense that you finally have a way of seeing where purpose actually is for you.
That purpose for you is only going to be fulfilled when you achieve clarity on the mental plane.
And that clarity is relative. It‘s relative to what any of those gates happen to be and what the line happens to be. And how it‘s going to come to you is going to be according to your frequency, your type, your authority.
You‘ve got all of these elements that get layered on top of it. That‘s why it‘s so important in the background to know this.
So I was groomed to wear a mental costume; to be well educated, to go through that whole process, all of that about fine tuning the mind; that I come in with an eclectic intellectual father. All of this stuff.
You just get it all built in. It‘s all around you; but, the not-self doesn‘t get it.
I may have come in, in this Quarter where the purpose is fulfilled through mind, but I‘ve got an unconscious mind in my bodygraph.
My Personality doesn‘t think of myself as a thinker and all I wanted to do was take drugs, fuck and listen to music.
And I didn‘t think that the mind was going to do anything for me. I was already smart, and that didn‘t help. And it was clear to me that I didn‘t want to be fulfilled through mind. I was very happy not talking to anybody. And I‘m a Clarion.
All of this is just what the not-self is. The not-self is so deeply distorting.
And the only advantage we have, truly, is that we belong to an organization that does not fire us because we‘re dumb. We‘re really lucky.
All of these departments function really badly. They‘re very inefficient. The managers, all of them, all have problems. So, it‘s not like we get fired. So I could live my whole life like that.
In the Personnel Department they‘re going, ―Yeah, send it back. Put him in another one. Let‘s see what happens this time.
The not-self is so destructive. It does take you away from the real joy of what you‘re here for. I know what I‘m here for. I fulfill my purpose, it‘s correct, this is my incarnation, and this is what it‘s all about.”

@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 ...
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 🥳🥰🍿
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! 💜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 ...
Shared by Sunshine Maree in the Projector Page FB group - great reminder early to middle experiment especially I think 🤔
Talking less is maybe one of the trickiest part of a Projector experiment.
Worth trying though! 👍🏽
"I learned to stop talking when I accepted that I was not being listened to, asked, believed, or genuinely considered."
When I discovered Human Design, I learned that as a Projector, my strategy is to wait for the invitation before sharing my thoughts, guidance, or energy. It was a game changer.
Before this, I often felt unheard, overlooked, or drained. I forced relationships, rushed into spaces that didn’t value me, and offered advice where it wasn’t wanted. I showed up where I was tolerated instead of celebrated.
Learning to honor this strategy has been transformative:
No more hurt feelings around sharing my unsolicited (although honest) opinions.
No more chasing opportunities—I only take the ones that come to me.
No more forcing relationships—I ...
Kathy Wise shared this video created by Dave Myels on her facebook account and gave me some more understanding of G and MG responses and how they are connected to their sacral… morning connections 🤯… specially where G and MG in my life are coming to me for a bit of guidance lately it seems.
Now to poke at charts 😆

‘The right is so different, this whole business of not having an agenda.’
"When we move over to the right side obviously everything changes. Everything changes because we move into a receptive mind, a receptive mind that is fundamentally a resource. The right is so different, this whole business of not having an agenda.
One of the things I really begin to understand about the right is the need for the social dynamic in the life, obviously not something that is simple if you’re a lower trigram. Here, for example, the classic of this variation could be a 1/4. You’re going to have a personality that is an investigator’s personality and yet at the same time there does not appear to be any investigation taking place, there doesn’t. There doesn’t because you’re not dealing with a strategic application. It doesn’t appear that they’re investigating anything specific. As a matter of fact, they’re just simply taking things in. They’re just a resource.
So obviously, the way in which this ...

"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…"
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 😍

"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."
