The Nature of Conditioning (& taking advantage of it)
Given how the larger Projector group in particular would seem to often say otherwise, this may come as a surprise to read.
It’s true, the Mind could take this and run away with it. Especially in a predictive way - I really think that’s the easiest way to go astray with transits, to think “oh bla bla is in xyz gate and therefore what I should be doing/feeling is … whatever”
No, if you give your Mind the predictive fodder, I think it only has that much more to interfere with in terms of decisions. But that might just be me.
However, at the end of a day or a season or once one is solid in one’s personal Authority, then it can maybe be amusing and not some kind of thing to only make more mischief than help.
It’s like there’s a hurdle to get past perhaps, before transit watching can be not an additional tool for the Mind to interfere with imho.
When we’re living as ourselves, conditioning is just conditioning. Something that’s useful or not. It’s the entertainment of not living in a vacuum that we get to sit in the back seat and watch.
I still don’t pay attention to the transits 🤷🏻♀️, but if you do, don’t take the word (Outer Authority) of others to say it means this or that - no - what’s it like for YOUR vehicle, interpreting and filtering THIS/any transit. And how can you witness it feeding (or not feeding) your Notself.
I think one of the most important things Ra says below is that - transits do not change your Type.
Enter things via the strategy of your Type and with the agreement of your Inner Authority … and correct for you experiences can flow from there.
You will then have the opportunity to see what you’re here to see - which is what properly feeds your own Outer Authority.
It’s the game board analogy of Human Design that I teach about … and “winning” is ultimately about the honing of our Outer Authority.
See what I mean? 🤔
Now here’s Ra -
"Remember something about the nature of conditioning:
Conditioning is not the enemy.
Conditioning is not bad.
Conditioning is not to be eliminated.
Conditioning is everything.
It’s what we call life. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
It’s just about NOT being identified with what is conditioning in your life, but it is [also] NOT about not experiencing it or taking advantage of it.
Think about the Generator that through the 20 transit suddenly ‘becomes’ a Manifestor. Now it doesn’t mean that they can act like a Manifestor, but it does mean that when somebody asks them for their response, that when they respond they can work like a Manifestor.
In other words, they can really jump in at the manifesting level and they can take advantage of that.
It’s not about eliminating conditioning, it’s about eliminating the ignorance of the conditioning.
You see, any center that is open in you is your opportunity for wisdom.
This is your opportunity through that filtering process that once you stop identifying with what’s moving through you, you can take advantage of what’s moving through you.
I only have one motor.
Now, I have the will power to teach every day and to work, but if I didn’t have access to all of your adrenaline, it wouldn’t be possible.
I don’t allow your adrenaline to condition me because I can feel it moving through my body; I take advantage of it in order to be able to keep myself from getting exhausted, I exhaust you instead.
But because there’s so many of you, I don’t overwhelm any individual with exhaustion. I just take from the adrenaline aura.
It’s not about saying, “No, no, no, no. I don’t want to have anything to do with you conditioning my Root Center. I’m going to back up 200 yards, sit in a glass booth, and speak to you through amicrophone.” Then I drop dead from exhaustion.
So it’s very important to see that because of the way we learn Human Design, and it’s the way we have to learn the Human Design, at first the conditioning is truly the enemy because this is what happens to us.
We get this revelation of “Oh my God, this is what has happened to me and they did that to me or it did that to me."
Like you, I went through the same process. I went through the process of my great distaste for being controlled through those open centers of mine.
And that sense in me, given that I have three gate of aloneness, to say, “Well, the hell with all of them, I’m just going to stay out of the aura.”
But of course you can’t; you can’t.
Not only can you not because you cannot avoid the program, but you can’t because it’s life.
It’s no fun without all that stuff no matter how you’re defined or undefined. It’s part of what we’re here for.
So don’t turn conditioning into an enemy and don’t think that because you are being conditioned in one way or another that your Type has changed, for example, that that’s something for you not to use and not to fall into.
It’s not true.
If you’re entering in according to your Type, you can take advantage of any transit.
I mean that’s what it’s there for. I took advantage for seven years
of Pluto dominating my Sacral.
Now, it was exhausting as hell but, I did not resist that. What am I going to do against Pluto? I did not resist that."
