“What they literally are looking for, in that sense, is self-motivation. This is the only one of the 12 profiles that is rooted in self-motivation. You cannot get a 5/2 to do anything unless it motivates itself. So you project on the 5/2: “You could be the greatest healer in the world. You could save thousands and thousands of people!” And it looks at you and says, “Go away – don’t bother me! Don’t give me your projections. Leave me alone!” Only when that 5/2 at some point in their own process, in the course of their life, of the day or whatever, that they are within themselves and say, “I could be a great healer – I know how to do that. I am going to go out in the world and make my mark.” Then they are out the door.
But they have to motivate themselves. So, you can have a 5/2 child that’s going to suffer even more at the hands of its parents than the 5/1. That 5/2 child is going to be under that expectation pressure. And the parents are going to be saying, “Do this, do that!” – and that child is just going to resist. And, of course, this creates a great deal of frustration in the family environment, because the family feels like this is a child that is going to be an underachiever. Now, all 5th lines are under that pressure, under the pressure that they don’t underachieve. You know, they have some mythological mother or father standing above them and wagging their finger: “You better...!” So the 5/2 that needs to be motivated can be infuriating to that expectation.
Not only that, but that’s an unconscious that says, “I’m a hermit, leave me alone, and I’m very insecure when you project on me, because I don’t know if I can do the things you say I can do, even though I am doing them, because I don’t know how I do them!” Remember, this is the whole process of the 2nd line: the 2nd line is just busy being about its business. It’s a natural! It doesn’t know that it’s a natural healer. It doesn’t know that when somebody comes over and they are not feeling well, and they just stand behind them and put their hand on their shoulder innocently, that they are actually making them feel better. And then the person says to them, “Wow! Do you know what you just did to me?” And they go, “No, I don’t know what I just did to you.” And then there is this projection on them: “You could do that for everybody!” Well, the 5/2 is very uncomfortable with that.
They don’t know what they just did, they don’t know how that works, and they don’t trust in it at all! After all, nothing’s more paranoid than a 5/2. They are very, very suspicious of what other people see in them, because the moment they came into the world their parents were always seeing stuff in them. And they get to the point where they are fed up with all of that. “None of you sees me All of you want me to be something, and I don’t know if I want to be any of that. Leave me alone!”
So they have to be self-motivated. You’ve got to leave these kids alone. Don’t pressure them! Leave them alone! You don’t have to worry. They’ve got a 5th line personality – they’ll get it. They have this capacity to have a deep impact. They’ll begin to understand their power in relationship to others. They’ll get it! But if you put all that pressure on them when they are young, you distort all of that. So here we have not the Heretical Investigator, but we have the Heretic as a Hermit. Very different: “Leave me alone!” And remember, because they don’t have the foundation, this is not the pure transpersonal gift. You can only universalise through logic. Because logic is the universal field. It’s the only way. Logic requires the ability to guide somebody into that logic as I guide you. But the 2nd line doesn’t know how it works. And remember, that 2nd lines need to be educated. It needs to be pointed out to them that they do have a gift, and if they would like one day to work with it, they should think about that.
That’s not pressure, that’s education. And then leave them alone. Let them know the gift is there – and leave them alone. Because they have to motivate themselves – they have to come to that themselves…
And, of course, the real joke in the 5/2 is that this is the Saviour that’s a Bigot underneath. Now, I really like that, you know. I am a 5/1 and sometimes I’d really like to be a 5/2, just for that advantage – no, I’m only kidding! What they get is so many people that they don’t want. If you’re a 5/2 and you’re a healer, you heal all kinds of people you don’t necessarily want to heal. You just don’t want to heal them, and then you become very disappointed in them. You begin to learn that there are all kinds of people, and sometimes you really enjoy what you are doing and sometimes you don’t. This is part of the whole mentality of the 2nd line. Because it’s always pressured by the outside, it really begins to dislike a lot of people. It begins to see that they are just trying to use them, to get something out of it. It’s not just the recognition, but when people say, “You could be this and that...” there is something in it for them. The 5/2 knows that. That’s why they can only do things out of their own motivation…
5/1s can create a pressure field. 5/2s don’t want to create a pressure field at all. It is the assumption that comes out of your own mechanics that you assume that everybody should be self-motivated. In other words: “Don’t pressure them – leave them alone.” And so they tend to be very good educators once they have a solid foundation. Because they can educate without pressuring, they can universalise without pressuring. The 5/1 is very different: it’s ingraining an understanding of a heresy – that’s something else entirely. The 5/2 is not doing that. It’s just saying, “Let’s take advantage of this, that’s all. Let’s be harmonious, let’s enjoy this, let’s not get caught up in the pressure of all of this.”
This is a natural tendency of the 5s because of the way they are raised, because of the projection field around them, to want to eliminate that pressure in their life. And they ultimately eliminate that pressure in others – it’s one of the dynamics of being universal. In other words, I want to take the pressure off of all of you – that’s my job. The pressure was taken off of me, and I know that it’s transferable – it’s just understanding. So that’s my job, to take the pressure off of you practically – that’s a theme for the 5th line. But, of course, the 5/1 can get caught up in the need to prove itself, and the 5/2 has nothing to prove. That’s the difference between them. I had a constant “Go at it. Make sure you get it!” The 5/2 doesn’t have to prove anything. The 5/2 doesn’t care about the base – it doesn’t have to! It just says, “Look, this works. Try this!” Now, obviously, if it’s not practical they’ll get punished. But if it is practical, it takes the pressure off of the other. And they can be very powerful universalising forces.”
