Koen’s Ra Quote of the day
It's one of the dilemmas that 5s have in relationships: they cannot be read.
“Why do you think 5s are paranoid? You're sitting inside of the 5 Personality and see somebody coming and you're already saying, “What do they want?”, because if you're a 5, they all want something from you. And by the way, it has nothing to do with you.
The great themes of projection that are there in the graph, you look at the 2nd line and you see that they're not projecting outward. People are looking in and seeing that thing in them that shines, that may or may not turn out to be the paper tiger, but it's something that belongs to them.
You look at somebody who has the 21 and has the 2nd line, you know it's in there, it's their control trip, and it's in them. And then you walk up to the 5th line and you don't see them at all. You see what you long for, what you hope for.
You never see the being; you never see anything about them. You don't. You see what you want to see and you see nothing else. It's one of the dilemmas that 5s have in relationships: they cannot be read. You do not know what is going on behind that. You cannot. It's just not possible. And you have to accept it as a 5. What I derive from that is my aloneness.
I recognize that the only awareness of self that I need is my own. It's been clear to me for a very, very, very long time that I can never be anything else but somebody else's construct. It's is so odd. And for me, I have an archetypal role for a 5, obviously. I do have the benefit of all this knowledge. So, I look at it and I see, my goodness, what it must mean for those out there who carry that and don't know and what that leads to in the distortion that's out there in homogenized plane.”
