Color 2 - Taste Determination

✨ Notes about Taste determination from Ra’s transmissions ✨

from Laeticia Phan

Basics from Radical transformations :

“And everything about the 2nd Color diet is that the 2nd Color diet is extremely rigid in the way in which it needs to eat regularly; the same thing day after day. We go from the cave person with their one thing at a time to the gatherer that basically is going out there and is collecting the local goodies.

Eat Local Produce

It‘s very important, by the way, if you‘re 2nd Color to eat as much local produce as you can, what comes from the area that you're living in. Imported goods, ultimate- ly, foodstuffs are not necessarily going to be particularly healthy. The most impor- tant thing, you can see this in a 2 baby—the 2 baby, you‘ve got a spoonful of some- thing, if it's the open kind of baby it will immediately open its mouth and let the spoon in. And if it doesn't like it, it will spit it out.

You are Here to be Discerning

The closed baby won't even let you put the spoon in its mouth because it knows before it even gets there that it doesn't want to have anything to do with that. Of course, we know what mothers do, unfortunately, it‘s not their fault, what they do in these circumstances, because they‘re saying, look, baby, this is healthy, this is good for you, open your mouth, and eventually they find ways of stuffing it in there.”

More nuances from PHS Analysis :

“So let's take a look at brain function and taking in and think about taste in terms of you know, what, what, what is the, what it's really about, we have this open closed phenomenon, and everything about being open is so is so important at the mental level. In other words, for brain function, this is a way of you know, the two has two sides to it. One what it takes in transforms it, and in the deepest possible sense. And yet at the same time, what it takes in can be so dangerous in that sense. And so, taste is an open closed system, it is an open closed system. And that is something very, very important to understand.

It is open in terms of what it takes in it is closed in terms of its external environment. In other words, one of the things to see about second color determination in the externalized world is that it is, you know, closed off from the external in the external world is closed off. And that's very, very important for these barriers are necessary in that sense, in the external environment, and it is the tendency, you know, we're dealing with binaries, after all, and it's so important to see that everything about taste, is that the vehicle itself needs to experiment with what goes in and needs to avoid the experimentation on the outside, on the outside.

So, when we're dealing with taste, we're dealing with something that's very interesting, it is about building barriers and breaking barriers, and you can be open on the outside, but external or closed. On the inside, you know, there was all these binaries that are working here. And it's all about barriers. Now, the most important thing is to understand that in terms of what you take into the vehicle, that everything is a discernment process. In other words, that it's not about this thing or that thing is the perfect thing. It is, try this and see, try this and see, try this and see. In other words, it is a developmental process in order to establish what the barriers are actually going to be.”

“And one of the things to see so clearly about about taste is that one has to submit too many things that aren't correct in order to find what is correct, which is just an interesting way of looking at the way in which this determination operates. In other words, for example, if you have a second color child, the second color baby, just because it likes a particular applesauce, you know, doesn't mean that you should just stay with that, in other words, that that child needs a number of options, it's very important for them, particularly at an early stage in their development, to be able to go through the taste selective process, and then to be able to wean it down and put up barriers against what isn't correct for it. And you'll see that a second color determination, baby will very quickly indicate to you that they don't want to repeat of this thing or that thing, but they will be very, very open to the test. I mean, even if they go through a number that they don't like, you'll see they're still going to be open to the test, it's very much about what they are. And then that refining process, in a sense takes place at the outside world, this is much more barriers that are pre structured, that need to be broken down ultimately.”

[about Sound transference]
“think about what the transference is, when you know, the transference really shows you how the physical body can be so distorted. I mean, so distorted. You know, instead of, you know, being open to what you're taking in there [from the sounds around you] is this narrowness to a specific frequency, and you're not going to let anything else in in that sense, you know, that the body isn't going to get what it needs, it isn't going to get the spectrum that's necessary, it's not going to be able to align itself to what is correct for it and put up barriers to what isn't correct for it, it just won't happen.

You know, and this, the whole thing about the nature of transference anyway, and of course, at the mundane level, you know, you get somebody who thinks that, you know, the mantra is going to make a difference in their life, or, you know, playing Mozart is going to soothe them… when, in fact, it's only going to make them sick.

You know, it's not the sound, and that's going to make the difference in their life. And it's not the sound, it's going to make them feel better.

I mean, it's amazing how many people have second color determination, who think that listening to music is healing for them. I mean, that's about as insane as you get. But in fact, that's true. And what's so astonishing about that is, if you take that to the extreme, and I do have, at times this absurd sense of humor. And, you know, it turns some of the greatest composers of all time into destroyers bodies, you know, there's, there's sweet Mozart rolling in his grave, you know, because you've got all these second color determined beings, you know, who think that listening to Mozart is is going to make them feel better. And all they're doing is homogenizing their form and losing their potential for differentiation. And you know, the transference is something that is enormously powerful and distorting the vehicle.” [this is not just about music. He also mentions some place else “sound therapy” being most probably invented by 2nd color people obsessed with their transference]

“I talked about sampling, different tastes, you know, different qualities going in until there is a natural alignment to what is the you know, however you want to describe it, what's your favorite, what's the one you like the best, whatever the case may be. However, what's really important to grasp is that the openness is actually a way of becoming close. And it's so interesting. In other words, in the second color brain function, it cannot for a long period of time be multi exposed. In other words, I would be unhealthy for it. So you can see that an awful lot of people have second color determination who are transferred over to sound, they end up with a differentiated intake spread, I shouldn't use that word because it will confuse, you know, they'll take in a lot of things, they will never have truly honed down that taste because the whole thing about being open is so that you can figure out what to be close to. It's almost like the immune system itself.”

“In dealing with 2nd color determination with the child, though, there are very, very obvious things that are necessary. I mean, one of the things that I notice is that, you know, this, there tends to be a homogenized tendency in in children to orient to only certain things. And I think a lot of that isthe transference to the five, and I think it's the transferred 5 that distorts all of that there's no real growth process. In other words, there they are closed instead of being open. Because there's a natural tendency to be closed, the barriers are necessary.

The other thing is that in terms of the vehicle, and it's elimination of resistance, you can see that it seeks out being closed in the external world. In other words, you know, where we derive at the second line resonance and talking about line where we get the theme thematic we call hermit. In other words, you know, what we're looking at here is that the closed off environment is a healthy environment to begin with.

And you can see that both the opened and the closed have have ultimately different goals in a sense, you know, the open is there to determine what needs to be closed off. But closed is there a waiting for what will in essence, you know, gain access and open it up slowly. So you have the two sides of the coin.

And it means for example, that these these babies, [he seems to switch here to Close taste babies] these children, they need to have a very protected environment. For example, in the first three and a half years,all of the synaptic development takes place in the brain, as a matter of fact, there's an enormous rush of brain development in there, by the time that children get to three or three and a half years old, there is a cutback in other words, you know, synaptic routes that had been opened up, get closed off, because they don't turn out to be viable in that sense for the the ongoing development.

It's essential for these children as an example that, you know, for the development of their brain function, you know, how important is variety for them, to be given opportunities for various tastes. And of course, I'm not just talking about variety of dishes or, or types of food as much as I'm talking about archetypes of tastes. And again, that's something that we'll go into later when we look at all these things in chains.

But you know, whether whether it's going to be sweet or bitter or sour or whatever, it's really much more than that kind of categorization, but it's very important for those children to have all of the possibilities in order to be able to discern, differentiate, say “No, I don't want those or this one”. And of course, it's not so much that they are, you know, the only way that they can react that way at that point in their life is that it's a natural body thing to like this and not that and so forth.

The other thing is that at the external level how important it is for those babies to be protected. I mean, protected, you know it the exact opposite of, you know, the fifth color baby whose low frequency right environment, you know, take them out into the great outdoors, take them to the park, you know, let them hear the birds chirping and blah, blah, blah, that's the worst possible thing. For the second color determination baby that needs to be really sheltered, you know, they go out in a carriage that's bulletproof and has screens and you know, all that kind of stuff, I mean, really protected until they are ready in that sense to take in the world bit by bit.

So, to really see what that means that at the very earliest age, this is… I don't want to put it in the wrong terminology, a tragedy because it sounds like a Shakespearean drama. But nonetheless, it whenever I look at things at this level, there's a there's a shudder that goes through me because I think about, you know, these zillions of babies that are on the planet that are going to have a second color determination and, you know, there, they are not going to be necessarily given the advantages they need in order to differentiate, they will not have the closed environment, that's very important for them, and they will not have the openness and variety.”

“And it's so easy to transfer this knowledge to a mother, it's so easy to say to her look, let your child decide what it likes. So make sure that it has a cross section of things to sample, don't just settle on, you know, this kind of applesauce, you know, buy a couple of different brands, you know, this kind of things, different different tastes, different things, and through the range of that taste is not a difficult thing for a mother to comply with.
And on the other side [closed taste], the protectiveness that's necessary for the child, but not at the point of excluding the potential of opening, you know, and for the mother to simply understand those simple ways of dealing with its child.”

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."
