Motivation Color 4 Need
“We’re dealing with a 4th color, and we’re dealing with Need. We do not understand this. All we understand is the homogenized need. We have no real experience of true Need as motivation.
This is one of the most important things to understand about the distortion that we live and what happens to us when we’re in transference. It’s not like this transference to the 1 is really about what the 1 is about. It isn’t.
The 1st color really digs in. That’s what it’s about. It digs in to get rid of ignorance. Not fear, not fear that becomes an overwhelming drive behind all decisions.
No, this is the distortion of the 1st color lived out in transference.
So, here we’re dealing with 4th color beings. And we’re dealing with 4th color beings that in transference are always going to be stuck in fear, the fear martyr, afraid to make a mistake, afraid to challenge, afraid to get it wrong again, afraid to break a bond again.
No cognition, no unique differentiated intelligence guiding it, it’s there in the security and it’s all about motivation.
The true motivation is need. And it’s not neediness. This is the distortion of the 4 when it’s lived out by a 1st color. I mentioned that to the 1st year class. I have this course coming up at the end of February called The Motivations of the Not-Self. Because I think you really need to understand this.
When color was introduced—there are all these people now in Human Design that sort of, maybe, kind of know a little bit of something about color.
It’s like when you open up the JAM Player or you open up the Jovian website you’ve got this living bodygraph and it actually gives you the color of the moment.
That’s something, by the way, which is fascinating. The moment you understand that it’s homogenized, it’s all homogenized—you don’t have a humanity that’s living out their correct motivation—so, all our understandings of these motivations are all distorted.
You [can] notice that yourself. Most people when they get to see what their real motivation is they don’t quite get it, because the only thing they understand about that motivation as a term is the way in which they have experienced it in their culture or society through the transference that distorts it.
Neediness is ugly as a drive, because the moment that neediness is there as a drive there is no intelligence behind it.
This is not about what needs to be dealt with, what needs to be confronted. It is not a specific guided by cognitive potential, no, no, no, it’s just blind neediness.
And of course, we get to see the results. That blind neediness is going to be controlled by the not-self mind in its decision making process. ‘I have an open heart center and I need to prove to everybody.’
The neediness like an endless, endless, endless waterfall never satisfied never satiated, never fulfilled; martyr, martyr, martyr, what suffering that is. Transference, wicked transference, what it robs us of, our unique cognitive potential.
And it’s not like you’re on the design side and you’ve got strategy and authority and the cognition is coming through and you can follow your PHS regimen and you can begin to enhance and work with that, but it’s always there from the moment you enter into that strategy and authority.
But not for the personality; there is no easy panacea, there is no quick fix. It’s why the first year program is about pay attention to personality transference.
This person has to recognize when fear is driving it. It has to recognize it. It has to recognize when somebody brings the fear out of it, puts fear into them so that the fear becomes the drive; the forces around them that are bringing about personality transference.
You cannot be involved in decision making to even begin to have that kind of seeing. These are the steps to awareness. It’s why color transference is such an important technique.
It can take years, by the way. There are some people that get it right away because, guess what, it’s a cognitive pattern, it’s a chain, and it’s designed for it.
There are others that take time, because their minds are so easily distracted, pulled away from being at attention. And in transference the distortion of the personality is enormous.
Correctness is so important. But your mind is healed by knowing its own truth. The sad thing about that is that it’s an ideal for generators. It’s difficult for other types. It’s not really our nature.
It has been quite an ordeal for me over 20 years to really, really, really see myself, because it’s not a big deal for me. It’s not in my genetics to do that. It’s necessary for what it is I do, but then again.
For generators, it’s their world, they’re the creators of life. They’re the ones that spread the deep malaise of transference.
Yet, they are the ones that are here to know themselves. And it is only through this knowing. I know that you can bring peace to a human being by simply being able to give them a technique for their body; what we do with strategy and authority.
They don’t need to get any further. Chances are their minds will never bend.
They will have a better life, they will have less resistance. They will make decisions that are correct for them, despite what their mind might go through.
But to go beyond that, to go here, you have to be willing to take it in and see it. You have to look at your pattern so clearly. You have to recognize your design as your mind works just by watching it.
Oh, you’ll develop your own inner keynotes for when your mind’s doing this or that.
Is it playing out the strategy of this center or that center?
Is it dominated by the sun/earth or is it dominated by the nodal?
Is the seeing influencing the mind?
Is the being influencing the mind?
That the whole decision making process of the not-self is revealed so that it can be shattered, because if you don’t see it, it doesn’t shatter.
If you don’t recognize it as you it will never shatter. You will never be free, not mentally.
This is real work, the dedication of mind to healing itself, because only mind can heal itself. It needs help direction, education, and support. It simply needs to see its own truth.”
@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 ...
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 🥳🥰🍿
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! 💜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 ...

"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…"
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 😍

"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."
