‘you're here to be both recognized AND to recognize’
Here’s a Ra passage from the Projector Empowerment audios (I think 🤔) that Vanessa kindly shared to me.
Big picture here, I think this can become confusing or even difficult to wrap our head around - if that’s even individually correct - because it is a bit chicken and egg seeming and of course it’s one’s personal authority that comes into the correctness (or not) for the individual.
Was not included here.
For me, my open head is and may always be my lowest hanging hijacker of my own authority - without a lot of seeing it in action these last 10 years, I’m not sure any of the other goodness in HD would ever have been available to me.
It’s a sort of ‘vigilant’ watching of what captures my attention and ‘so spends my days’ - quite literally. 🤓🙃🤷🏻♀️
Reminds me of a quote from Annie Dillard (I was unfamiliar) that I have posted on my whiteboard - it’s a partial quote actually, maybe I find the full thing -
“How we spend our days is, of course how we spend our life”
Oh what the Mind might easily do with that sans HD awareness 👀
What I’ve become more and more adept at is catching whatever isn’t for me sooner than the exhaustion/bitterness point.
And exiting, reclaiming my open head from that which is just not for me. Essentially recognizing the non-recognition 😋
Interest waning, attention wandering, in my case … or noticing I feel like I have to prove something … are my particular most readily identified clues.
Doesn’t matter who I’m with - if they’re not pulling from my well …. well … 🙃
And so it goes. I’m out asap.
Heading back to my never-shoulding and thinking about things that actually matter - to me.
Or at least making the space for that.
Just did it to John on the phone this evening (and maybe this is a 3rd line with the benefit of a defined Solar Plexus ‘being’ thing) …
“hey, I gotta go” 👋🏽
🤷🏻♀️🤓
Now here’s Ra -
“Most of all, it's about figuring out the way in which the other operates in any kind of circumstance, environment, or condition because the whole theme is recognition.
I think most Projectors when they first discover what it is to be a Projector, first of all, there is a certain level of annoyance.
It's like:
What is this?
What do you mean?
That's the first thing.
The second thing is not really grasping the deepest keynote that's there in the Design of a Projector.
That is, you're here to be both recognized and to recognize. It's sort of like a Catch-22.
That is, the more you recognize, the more you recognize. And the more you're recognized, the more you're recognized. And it goes on and on.
But it means there is an inherent dilemma that is there for the Projector because what do you put your attention to?
What's worth recognizing? And what's worth being recognized for?
Because after all, if you're not a success, you've got a sour life.
You're going to be bitter, pissed off, this whole thing, because everything about what it is to be a Projector is to be a success.
And not [speaking here] in the material sense of the word. It's not about that. You have to deconstruct that to any level.
It's about feeling within yourself that you're a success in the process in your life.
The only way that you get there is by getting the recognition.
If you don't get the recognition, you're not going to have that sense of success.
The recognition brings energy.
It brings generating and manifesting and all of the various things that are part of your process.
So, the question comes down to:
‘Where do you put your attention?’
[I think there’s a fundamental flaw in phrasing here with “put” - that’s a do-ing word, see what I mean?]
Because you can recognize [see], there are all kinds of things you can recognize [see] at the superficial [mundane] level.
Projectors have a gift of being very intelligent in their recognition [seeing] capacity.
So yes, you can recognize all these things, but if you don't really know what is correct for you, you end up putting [volunteering, intitating, overDOing, tossing it out just because you ‘can’] your precious energy, which is really precious as a non-energy type, putting your precious vitality recognizing [and engaging with] something that doesn't [ultimately]bring you the rewards that you're here to have.”
@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 ...
Here Ra is speaking of the top black arrow and when it points Left 👈🏽
This is my only Right pointing variable arrow.
Which way does yours point? 🤔

“Strategic Personalities are always trying to get everything [in].
I guess it’s the influence of the fact that, in terms of the way in which the evolutionary process is moving, we’re moving towards the Right.
It’s sort of a way in which the Left is trying to pretend, in a sense, that it’s Right. We’re not about taking everything in.
It is possible for us as strategic Personalities, and I say ―us because I’m like you. That is, I have a strategic Personality.
It is possible for us to cover a great deal of territory, one focus after the other.
But never assume in any kind of situation, whether it is a formal learning situation or it’s a social interaction, that one is actually taking in all the information or all of the nuances. One is not.
Again, when one is strategic, the way in which one is focused denies all kinds of...

Ra on Emotional Mastery
"There is no way to master your emotional system. It is much more powerful than you are.
You can’t make it do what you want.
It is fun to look at all this stuff and understand how it works. This doesn’t mean you can change it.
The point is to be clear, both for defined (clear of their own emotions) … and undefined (clear of the emotions of others).
Those that have gone through a seven year de-conditioning process have a level of smoothness in the vibration of the wave they put out into the consciousness field.
An open emotional being encountering this wave recognizes this is a wave that doesn’t have to be avoided. It doesn’t trigger that.
It is where every emotional being has a right to be.
Emotional beings are here to know the pain and pleasure of need, passion and desire.
To be correct when you ratchet, snap, spike, lock, crash and explode. Then it’s not just right for the individual, but for all those that have to deal with that being.
Emotional beings are told in ...

"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."
