Koen’s Ra Quote of the day (with a comment from Mark Germain below)
Paranoia is a very uncomfortable thing. All 5s have to deal with paranoia in their lives.
“There is a projection from the beginning that the 3/5 gets from the other and the other says, aha, these ones, we’re going to accept them right away, because they're just what we need. And the 3/5 immediately screws it all up. And that rejection creates over sensitivity. It’s very difficult. 3/5s are by nature touchy. You know this expression ―touchy? You don’t want to say the wrong thing to them because they immediately project on it in their paranoia through their life experience that you're saying something bad about them. You’re talking about a totally different thing. They may not even be talking about a person; they're already getting oversensitive. Are they talking about me? Do I have to leave town again? Is the jig up? Is it all lost?
Life didn't turn out to be what they thought it could be. They didn't find the magic in life, they're very uncomfortable with the world they live in because the people around them are disappointed in them. That 5th line unconscious, how difficult it is for the 3/5 to live with that unconscious, that unconscious projection of others that they are going to have the solution, that they are going to have the secret, that they are the ones who can show you the way. They get into such a state in their life where basically they just want to run away, and they do. You know, they run away from what they assume is failure in the hope that they can start again somewhere else where people don't know them, where people don't know that they have failed to deliver the goods.
Paranoia is a very uncomfortable thing. All 5s have to deal with paranoia in their lives.”

Here’s the comment from Mark Germain (who himself has a 3/5 profile)
“The longer one is in their experience of living their design, the less this happens…. At least this has been my experience… but projection will always be there; the difference is in the knowing why, living more as Self, and that there is no blame in any of this… not towards oneself or those projecting onto you… it’s just mechanics… though, the not-self 3/5 has a tremendous burden to carry at times… I have a tremendous amount of empathy for them. 💜”
