Color 4 - Touch Determination

✨ Notes on Touch determination from Ra’s transmissions ✨

via Laeticia Phan

Basics from Radical transformations

“When we go above we begin to change because we‘re moving into circumstances. I'm a 4th Color. And I‘m a 4th Color on the Left side. That is, I‘m a calm. And fun- damentally what that means is that it‘s not about me being calm. It's about me being in a calm environment when I eat. My instant reaction in an environment where I'm eating where somebody's being disturbing is to be an aggressive Manifes- tor and hit them. For me eating is supposed to be calm. And of course, that‘s my prejudice because that's me.

The other side of the coin is my son, Loki, who‘s nervous. He‘s the other side. So if we‘re having dinner together and it's calm it‘s bad for him. If we‘re having dinner together and it's disturbing it‘s lousy for me. It‘s really something to grasp about how important it is. I take most of my meals alone, calm. It‘s wonderful. It‘s just wonderful.”

Nuances from PHS analysis (Y1S2)

“It also says something about the way in which the fourth color can be understood is that the themes of the fourth color are generalized themes rather than deeply specific.”

“So let's take the example my example. My fourth color Sun earth, the binary is calm, nervous. Now it isn't so much about the being being calm or nervous. As much as about the circumstance being calming or nervous is a is a difficult word in this context, because nervous is important. I need to put that in there. And yet at the same time, it's also about being stimulated or being. It's an energy that is there that is not there in the calm circumstance.

Let's take the example of eating when I was growing up. The family dinner table was a kind of argumentative warzone. And I don't mean that in a totally negative sense. I just mean that in that As you were expected to make intellectual contributions that could easily be hammered, and there was always a certain there was always a certain tension and nervousness about sitting around that table and having an evening meal. And I'm somebody whose fourth color operates through the calm through the calm. That is my predisposition. My predisposition is for the calm circumstance. And one of the things that I cannot tolerate, for example, is a lot of stimulation when I eat. I don't like a lot of chit chat and conversation. I like peaceful eating.

And it is the very calmness of the circumstance, that is correct for whatever I take in, because I'm going to transfer and I'm going to transfer a lot. And it means that I can end up transferring to the one to the two to three, because even when you have a primary transference point, it doesn't really matter. It's simply the first one you go to, you know, when you can end up crawling around in many of them, if you're you know, for the not self, it never stops, and it becomes very, very confusing. And it's not about whether, you know, you're transferred, and you're taking in the hot or the cold, or the consecutive or alternating, or whatever the case may be. The fact is that that's not going to be detrimental to your health if the circumstance is correct. In other words, you know, if I am in a calming environment, and this is something that's very important, if I'm in a calming environment, the fact that my fourth color is transferring, and I'm suddenly fixed on, you know, just taking in, you know, things that are hot, as an example, now, this is one of my themes, you know, it's one of the things in transference that I'm well aware of as as a fourth color, son Earth, and yet as long as the circumstance is correct, everything is okay. In other words, it is not doing any damage to my being.

And this is something that brings the exception to the nature of the fourth color, because the fourth color cannot in that sense truly be fixed. As such, it is it's built into us that as long as the the general theme of the color is present in the circumstance, this is the key, then the transference is not something that is going to be detrimental. But the moment the moment that one isn't operating correctly, in terms of the circumstance, then everything that you take in can be detrimental. Everything. And of course, it can be very difficult, because you're all over the place.

And of course, this is what happens to so many people who are fourth color is that, you know, they keep on going through changes in the way they eat, and, you know, all kinds of things looking for a solution to whatever their their physical dilemma happens to be, and they don't find it, because it's the circumstance.

Now assume for a moment that you're somebody that is fourth color and you are fixed to the nervous. You know, and again, I want you to see that that, you know, nervous sometimes has well not sometimes most often, it brings to mind a negative and and I really want you to, you know, take the negative out of the nervous for a moment and just see it as stimulated and being stimulated. You know, it's one of the things that you see for example, in in certain carnivores, you know, the, the, the the cat, you know, there's nothing worse than having a house cat. And, you know, the other night my cat brought in a bunny for God's sake. I mean, there's nothing worse than that.

And of course, it's appalling because they, they go through this process of creating all of this tension, you know, they go through this long kill process, and most people think that you know, it is a cruelness of the animal but it isn't, it's another digestive system. You know, they need to build up a certain stimulation in order for them to be able to digest the food. And it's one of the things that's the horrendous thing about house cats who are pets, is that because they never really get that opportunity. And most of them don't I mean, my cat lives, you know, in nature out here, so it gets a lot of opportunities, but the typical house cat, it doesn't get that opportunity, so you don't get that kind of stimulus that is developed and guess what you get, you get very, very smelly, you know, waste from the cats, cats have notoriously horrible smell to their waste. But that is simply the typical, you know, urban pet cat, who never gets this constant, you know, stimulation that is necessary for them to crank up their digestive system. So they're really able to process all of the food and, and process it well, and get the best out of it, and so forth, and so on.

So one of the things to understand about the nervousness is that this is a totally different circumstance, you know, this is the kind of person that is, is going to feel terrific, you know, with a crowded place, and lots of noise and lots of action and things going on, and, you know, eating while they're arguing and all of this stuff. And all of that's terrific. Because for them, that is the way that when they take something into their vehicle, they can process it directly.

And of course, you know what happens with these people, they're always being told by others to calm down, you know, that it isn't good for them relax, why are you getting so excited, you know, you won't be able to digest your food, all of these stories, and of course, the just stories, you know, the magic of what it is to know, you know, your personal health design, because that's what it's all about. And it is this theme of the circumstance that changes everything. Because you see the four because it can never fix, it's the only way that the four, the fourth color can be healthy. It's the only way.”

“Okay, now let's think about something. Why is the touch there. Now, the touch means a lot when we look at it in terms of the externalization. And we'll talk about that. But the touch is something that is absolutely essential for us as healers, as healers, you see, one of the things that we need to be able to do is that we need to be able to either calm these beings down, or stimulate them. If they're not correct, you know, if they're not correct, they need to be calmed, or they need to be stimulated, now touches something that is really extraordinary. I mean, it's extraordinary. With your touch, you can bring somebody to a point of total relaxation, to the point of sleep. And with your touch, you can put people on fire. And it's really something to grasp about. The healing aspect of this is not for those that are simply intellectually gifted in the knowledge, it really isn't. There's a special quality that's necessary, there are those that with their touch, can bring both. That is there are those who bring calmness, and they're one side of the touch field. And on the other side, there are those that can stimulate you. And one of the things that's so interesting about the touch is that in dealing with it in the internalization, it points directly to one of the most ancient of all healing systems, it points to acupuncture, it points to the ability to penetrate into the body. Because after all, touches touch, this is just about contact, being able to penetrate into the body, and being able to either calm or stimulate in that sense, and I think that the one of the many, many directions of PHS, as we move into the future, is that this is an area where the the knowledge of acupuncture can be of great service. It is also about those that you know, use pressure points with their hands are able to manipulate pressure points put energy into others through various pressure points.”

“The transference, obviously, is something that, you know, is significant because of course it you know, if we understand where they're transferring, you know, they're going to think most fourth colors do they're going to think that if they change what they're taking, for example, if this is internalization, if they you know, they think what they take into their body is the thing that's going to make a difference instead of the circumstance in that sense. And we need to see both? What is natural for them to take in? Because remember, they will experiment with all the possibilities in that sense, what is natural for them to take in as the transference? Because remember, this is the most extraordinary thing about the fourth color is that you, it doesn't matter whether you're transferred or not as long as the circumstance [calm/nervous environment] is correct.”

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."
