View - it’s a building block for our Outer Authority 😌
What’s your View?
Mine is Possibility. Which makes my distraction Probability
I often have started out private sessions with this idea -
If Human Design were a board game (hey maybe a board game could be in order 😊)…
The square right after the Start square would be Strategy and Authority (next might come all manner of Mind traps that impede forward movement 😅)
What would come next would be the Design side Color and Tone, the cognition supporting precursors to the potential of our Outer Authority (which is essentially the holy grail) - these precursors that can set the stage for getting to the end of the game correctly are called Determination/Digestion & Environment.
The final puzzle piece would be the Personality side color/tone details - which, when influenced by correctness in the first two legs of this adventure, are primed and ready for the potential of what we’re here to release into the world through the filter of our Design. Our Outer Authority.
But there’s a trickiness to this section of the game board - trickiness called “Distraction” (which is the flip side of our correct View/Perspective) and “Transference” (which is the counterpoint to our correct Motivation/Awareness).
It only makes sense, for example, that if we’re distracted by the things that are not where our attention is ideally met, that we literally cannot be present for the things we ARE here to see.
Which leaves our Outer Authority output (via Motivation/Awareness) without the ingredients necessary for prime time level delivery.
Simply put - if we are constantly in Distraction and Transference …
Can’t “win the game” 🤷🏻♀️
Here’s some details from Ra about his own View and the way he recognized it playing out -
“View establishes Potential of Outer Authority
Our View truly controls us. I have a 6 View; I have a Personal View.
One of the things that is interesting about it is that, I suppose as a by-product of it, I have to accept that there is a deep level of narcissism in the way in which I deal with the world.
You can look at these things this way and that way. You can have your moral judgments about this and that, but the reality is that our View is what truly establishes the potential of our outer authority.
It‘s the [correct] View that makes it possible for the mind to awaken.
It‘s the View that makes it possible for outer authority to ultimately emerge, because the View is the most essential ingredient for the passenger.
You‘re sitting in the backseat of the vehicle, where do you look?
Do you look to the left, to the right, up, down, back, forward, where do you look?
Do you close your eyes, what do you see?
Where do you look?
The passenger in the vehicle is an interesting thing. There are many Views that are possible. We know that as passengers.
You look this way, you look that way. It is the differentiated View.
The thing that is so interesting about the Nodes is that this is the place where the Vehicle [Design/Body/red side of the chart] and the Personality [black side of the chart] really, really have a chance to sort of make a deal.
This is where there is a deal struck.
The Design says, ―Okay, okay, okay, we‘ve set you up, you‘re in the right place [Environment], for goodness sake just look where we‘re pointing to you. It‘s set up. The moment that is set up there, there is that possibility for that transformation to take place.
But the View has to be there. And you have to be aware of the distraction.
[Distraction & Transference are unavoidable, natural, give context to what IS you - point here is, they’re noticeable]
My distraction being Personal is here [Power]. If you had met me more than 25 years ago, your impression of who I was or would feel like as being would be incredibly different. I remember being distracted by the winners and losers.
I made a comment before the class, it is very easy for distraction for me because I have a 3 Color Internal Personality and there is this natural grab that is there.
The fact of the matter is when I was distracted by the Power View, I was an arrogant son of a bitch. I certainly didn't have any respect for what I considered to be losers and I could see the winners and losers everywhere, at least that's what I thought.
I was a vain ignorant not-self male, so I can be forgiven my sins, but the fact of the matter is that I was outrageously arrogant.
And the arrogance was rooted in the distraction because it distracted me from seeing the world in the way in which I was intended to see the world.
Human Design is a science of differentiation.
I am here as a proponent of the liberation of beings from the clutches of the authorities of others, that to be unique is to be beyond measurement, that there can be no winners and losers, there is no such thing; it doesn't exist.
And of course, it changed my impression of human beings. It changed my impression of every being I have ever encountered since.
My frame of looking at them is different.
And the Personal, we‘ll get there, ultimately you can see that expression in my outer authority, my concern about the personal, my concern about the unique individual.
And of course, this is very far removed from the distraction I had when I was not-self by the seduction of seeing the winners and losers. And of course, I wasn't seeing them, because that was not my ability.
All it did was create enormous problems in my life and enormous problems in the social dimensions of my life.”
Images: Peppers (Galaxy Red is what the tag says) that I grew - apparently - for John to respond by picking them all yesterday (unannounced). I don’t eat hot peppers, I just grow them 🤷🏻♀️🙃
These all came off one small 12in plant 👀. Let’s see what happens next. So many possibilities. ☺️
[Probability would have a very different take on this - see?]
