Thoughts on Raising 5th lines correctly

I think we’ve been served up part of this or another similar passage - this one seems longer 🤔

Also, I’m going to ask my Librarian about the Security Strategy, etc part. See if I can’t put my hands on the original text.

Drop a comment if you’d be interested in that too 👍🏼


“For me, the 5th line psychically is deeply damaged in terms of the way it operates on the planetary plane. You can see that in the Security Strategy. When you're looking at the Security Strategy you’re looking at the Distributor/Hoarder. One of the things about the 5th line being is that it has to be this whole business about “I can't; you can” is so they distribute their specialness.

One of the things that happens is if they’re treated in a mundane manner—in other words, if what they can do isn’t special, but if what they can do is what anyone else could be asked to do in those situations, so forth and so on—eventually that specialness as a potential in them doesn’t get distributed. They hoard it.

They hold onto it. They keep on holding onto it. And they become more and more repressed, and more and more paranoid.
And they get to the point where somebody is coming at them with their protection—and here in the 5/2 it’s just classic because they just withdraw—when they get people that are coming at them it’s not simply what do they want. It’s “What do they want? Don’t they know I don't have anything?”

That’s the net result in the not-self. “These fools. What do they want? I can't deliver that. I don't have anything special for them. I don't have the thing that they need. I’m not going to be able to save them. I’m not going to be able to help them. I'm not going to be able to do any of that. I have to be concerned with my own survival, so I’m going to hoard and hold onto things and protect myself.”

So it’s very important to see that the dysfunction comes very early. And in some ways it’s easy. After all, it’s a great game to play with your 5th line child: “I can't; you can. I can’t; could you?” Because all you’re doing is that you’re raising up of the well- being, the strength, the internal strength, the psychic strength of this being.

But really to understand that if that’s not done, they’re hoarders. I was one of the great hoarders of all time. I’m a really smart guy. I had enormous amounts of knowledge nobody had access to long before the Voice. All kinds of knowledge nobody had access to. It was just hoarded away.

I didn’t see myself as special. Freak, yes, my design is Individual; special, no, I never see myself as special. I wasn’t raised that way. I wasn’t raised properly as a 5th line Manifestor at all, at all. Nobody ever said to me “I can't.” It was like: “Oh my God, don’t give him a license to do things.” What I got was: “Everything is under control; don’t #$^% around. It’s all under control. Do what you’re told. When you’re old enough you can leave.” So, please understand the level of dysfunction in the 5th line. It’s huge.

Emotional Resonance; remember in looking at Emotional Resonance basically you’re looking at the frequency of the spirit as it relates to the quality of what life is; the ups and downs of the nature of being. And you can see here that this is something that will fluctuate between Selflessness—and selflessness is the only way you can universalize anything—or Selfishness.
And you can see how easily this binary operates based on whether you're going to have a healthy 5 or a dysfunctional 5. A dysfunctional 5, the Hoarder, they're going to be very selfish. They’re going to use their special gift for themselves. Well, it’s useless.

Imagine what that would be that I get the Human Design System
given to me and I never show anybody. I just use it myself. This is the risk that we all have when we have 5th line beings who aren’t raised properly, because they're not giving us access to all this stuff. They’re not.

When you know deeply in Human Design that every human being is unique, that each of us have something essential to contribute to the whole, if you’re a 5th line being you have something to contribute. You do, in the nature of what’s correct in your being.
And to see very clearly that when that selfishness rules, and most 5s are deeply selfish, they’re holding onto what they think is their specialness and they’re forced
to hold onto it because nobody else has really recognized it. And they're paranoid that nobody ever will. So, that specialness doesn’t come out and nobody gets the benefit.

And instead of being those that are automatically attractive in times of crisis when you need them, they're not anymore. They’re not attractive at all. They’re selfish. They’re practically invisible. They hold back their auras from you. They’re not going to give you anything; nothing.

So again, this is one of those things to see about the quality of their life is that you’ve got two billion people who are basically deeply selfish. That’s a real problem. That is now the universal principle. It is, after all. It’s the universal principle on this planet. It’s a universal principle that’s been brought by all the dysfunctional not-self vibes. This is their message to the world.
So when you’re dealing with educating the mother about the life of a 5, know how powerful an agent of propaganda the mother is for the specialness of the child. This is the kind of child that loves to hear its mother on the phone saying “I couldn’t; she did. I couldn’t do this and Jane just came in and she just did the whole thing and it was really incredible.” And little Jane is up in her room going “Hey, that’s cool.”

Or your next door neighbor comes over and they’re whining about that they have a problem and they say, “Oh, Johnny knows how to do that. Johnny, Johnny, could you go over and help Mr. Smith, blah blah blah.” Oh they love that. And they go over on their own and say “You want my special gift now, do you?” And they get such a reward because they can do it. The reward is the recognition “Hey, you’re good. That’s great. Thank you, blah blah blah.”

This is how you get rid of their selfishness. It’s not enough within the household to say “I can't; can you?” Not only do you have to be a mother that debases herself in front of her children, but she’s got to do it in public. She’s got to tell other people “I couldn’t, but she could.”

And of course, this is magic for the 5th line child. It’s going to take a Human Design mother to be able to do that, because it's quite a thing to do that. It's not a natural thing. It isn’t. We all know that. That’s not a natural thing.
Yet, at the same time to really understand that—again in my description it’s not about that you have to take this to some extreme. It's about recognizing that these children need to have universal praise as an instrument for them to recognize that their worth is universal. It’s not just in the little families. It’s not a 4th line theme, after all. It’s a 5th line theme.

So, there is this need to get that out. There is this need to be able to tell the other and make sure the child knows this. To be able to involve the child in understanding that this gift that it has, that it can be called upon to deliver that there are others that are going to be interested in this gift.

And of course, as you see your children develop, your 5th line children, you’re going to see that by the time they end their first Saturn quarter, about the time they’re 7 1⁄2 to 8 years old, that they start to develop specific interest in certain things in which they do have the potential of specialness. You need to encourage it. You need to encourage whatever it is, even if it’s something that’s only going to be temporary.

Remember, they're open to transpersonal karma, they may get turned on to very odd things. But the thing is let them develop that and then let everybody else know, sort of. Be their agent. “Oh, Jamie is doing painting classes,” or God knows what. “Oh you should see it, it’s wonderful. She could do one for you,” and on and on and on and on….

Remember, the Awareness Resonance is about the intellectual tools, the intelligence tools. It’s something to be clear about that no 5th line is going to develop the discipline they need in life unless they feel strength in their specialness, whatever it is. There is never going to be discipline brought to them.
I have been in my life the most undisciplined human being. I have broken so many rules and laws and you name it; so undisciplined. And now since 1987 I have been so disciplined in my specialness; so disciplined.

It’s one of the things to understand about the 5th line in its nature is that discipline only comes when they're identified with their specialness. And that’s something that can be nurtured in the young. And when you don't have that you just have rebellion, because every 5 coming into the world knows that the only reason they're getting projection is that everybody else is an idiot and useless. Just like their mother who says “I can't; can you?” Every 5 know that. Every 5 knows that humanity should be really redesigned, revamped, new models, fix the whole show.
So, it’s one of the things to understand that the rebellion is natural. So, if you’re a mother and you're not going to pay attention specialness of your 5, you're going to have rebellion on your hands. It would have been a lot easier for my parents to have seen that I was special and done that number with me—I can't; can you? — than do have dealt with my rebellion which was not nice to deal with; messy, messy, messy, messy, lots of problems, lots of anxiety, lots of everything, because that's what you get.

So, it's one of those things to understand when it comes to this theme of Discipline/Rebellion in most cases you’re only dealing with rebellion because the discipline can only emerge when there is a sense of specialness. That draws out the discipline and removes the rebellion.”

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."
