The Channel of Struggle, Gate 28 & Gate 38

Koen’s Ra Quote of the day

“The 28th gate and the 57th gate - the 28th gate has a lot of power. It has an interesting kind of power.

You have somebody like me who has the integration system [no Gate 28 activation] - they are deeply selfish in their own survival and self-absorbed in their own survival and do not care particularly about anything other than their own survival because that is natural for them.

But the moment that a 57 meets a 28, it's ready to care, if necessary, for another.

The 28 has a lot of power [I have this activated in Lines 1&6] - it brings integration into the larger individual process.

It takes away the pure self-centred concerns and caring of the individual and they turn it into something larger.

So the 28-38 [I happen to meet this channel a lot and also it’s an electromagnetic for John and me - he has a hanging Gate 38], which is the Channel of Struggle, this whole business of struggle - so many people who have the Channel of Struggle are annoyed by it.

The Channel of Struggle is really very beautiful, after all. One of the basic tenets of individual life is that - what's the saying, "Life's a bitch. It's better to be rich."

We're all out there struggling on the material plane - this is part of our lives.

But more important for that, the essence of knowing what it really is to know, and this is the purest knowing that is possible, is the knowing that's there in the Spleen in the moment.

It's pure - it's not adulterated by the conceptualising processes and influences of the mental plane. This is a deep, pure knowing.

The whole business of this knowing is about finding out for oneself that life is of value.

That's what knowing, at its deepest level, is about.

To know that life is of value, to know its worth being in these vehicles, to know that this process is a wonderful thing and that it's exactly what we're supposed to be doing as we chunter along in these funny little vehicles.

Because of that, the fear that we deal with in the 28 is the deepest of the primal fears.

On its surface it's called the Fear of Death.

Again, the collective is designed to fear authority and to fear inadequacy - that's the collective's design.

The individual is designed to fear dying.

Yes, yes, yes. It's not like there's something wrong with us when we're concerned about the fact that we are terminal.

Life is terminal.

The whole thing about the nature of the Fear of Death is that it has nothing to do with death, which is nothing, after all.

It has nothing to do with dying, which is what most people have fears about. It has to do with whether or not that in one's life. That before death one can see that the process has really been of value, the struggle to be alive is worthwhile.

It's not the Fear of Death, it's the Fear of Living.

[A fear of living poorly]

It's one of the great fears of the 28 -

  • the Fear of a Useless Life,
  • the fear of a pointless life,
  • the fear of a life made up of just banging one's head against the wall and others,
  • a fear of knowing that when you're 85 years old you're still going to leave the keys in the house and after you've walked out you're still going to have to go back in and get them.

What we have in the 28th gate is that what lies within us is a gate of gambling and risk taking.

One of the things to recognise about fears is that fears are signposts for us in our life process they're signposts.

The moment that you're ready to take a risk and you're a 28, you know, you know that life is not of value to you. Instant. Instant signpost.

It says, "Excuse me, this risk means that you do not think that your life is of value right now." Period.

28s can easily kill themselves - easily.

The classic 28-6, Neptune in detriment, Self-destruction, Blaze of Glory.

Eating a little too much, going a little too fast, taking a little too much of this and a little too much of that, and going a little too fast, and on and on, until you finally go over the edge because life is not of value.

All that struggling and all that gambling is about trying to see whether life's of value.

"I'm going to take this risk. I'm going to jump out of this airplane. Maybe it's going to make me feel so good that I land and I'm alive that I'll recognise that it's really good to be alive. I'll take any risk to find out that it's really good to be alive."

That can get downright dangerous.

This is not collective - this is deeply personal and it's individual.

It's not like somebody can come up to you and say, "Your life is really worthwhile. I'm so glad you're here on the planet." [hahaha I do find this pretty annoying lol]

And the 28 says, "Piss off!"

It isn't going to do them any good.

This is not collective.

This is not the tribe looking for support.

This is an individual - they have to know that for themselves.

Because individuals suffer from melancholy and they fill up the couches of the psychiatric world, you can see what's going on and how they're totally distorted in that process.

Individuals have to know, and they have to know in the now that life is worthwhile.

It demands that they cannot know that unless they are totally existential and surrender.

That's what individuality is all about. It's being existential and surrendered.

In that moment of being existential and surrendered, each moment they can say, "Oh, I'm still here. Everything's OK."

The thing about individuals is they don't listen - they are deaf.

That 38 on the other side of the 28 is saying, "Don't talk to me. I'm not listening to you. I'm going to go ahead and struggle to make sure that life is worthwhile. I will do everything in my power to know that life is worthwhile. If you get in my way, I will fight with you. Don't try to help me, please."

If you fall in love with somebody who is individual and you see them crossing the street and there's a car coming and you reach out to pull them back, they will never speak to you again - your relationship is over.

They will look at you and say, "What the hell are you doing? You don't think I can cross the street by myself, you fool."

And the other one is saying, "I was only trying to help. I was only trying to help."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Individuals have to know for themselves. There is no other way for them, which means that this is the deepest of fears because it is rooted deep in the individual soul.

Is life of value?

Everybody wants to know: "What's my purpose?"

The purpose of life is life.

If you don't get it, tough.

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?

Lindy Lee - Australian Artist

"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."
