Strategy & Authority is the catalyst (2nd line gates focus)
Had to go see which gates are my 2nd lines - I only have 4 🤔
Conscious - Mars 32.2, Pluto 46.2
Unconscious- Mercury 19.2 (detriment), Uranus 6.2
Could be interesting (for me) to read those in the Line Companion.
I can link that in the comments ao you can check yours out too if you’d like :)
“To be lost in the knowledge and think that the knowledge itself can help you, that’s not true. The knowledge is for living.
This is what the 2 is like. It's what they’re like; it’s what they're waiting for.
And everybody sees them and they see they could be this, they could be that and they have no idea unless it's the person that really sees what's there, who calls it out.
And then it’s magical, they’re transformed. They are something else.
I've seen this in people, I've seen this in musicians, and I’ve seen this. It’s just something else. And then you get to see it.
The gift particularly in the 2nd line body when that gift has been nurtured, because the body has to be trained, it has to be properly nurtured, wow, what that is.
The sharpness, the power that is there in the 2 Personality; remember it carries a 2/4, 2/5 combination as a potential underneath, which means that either going to externalize or universalize when the call comes.
This is where something really different emerges.
I'm always waiting for the same thing. It seems to be my journey in this life. And I've gotten old watching this movie.
I’m 21 years in Human Design and I didn't get it when I was young. I see that there's only one thing that you can do. You have to radically embrace the process.
It's the only way that you can really learn this. There is so much resistance that conditioning brings into the life, unbelievable resistance.
You may be a 2 and you may understand what I'm saying to you now and grasp all of that, but if you're not operating according to your Strategy and Authority it doesn't mean a damn thing, it doesn't mean anything.
One of the first things that we understand at the deepest levels of this knowledge at the psychological level is that your mind cannot help you there. It cannot.
Your life cannot be controlled by your mind, dictated to by your mind, that you’re never truly going to find the gift, whatever the gift may be in you and not just in your profile, but in any 2 nd line that’s anywhere there in your Design.
The only way that that's going to emerge is out of your correctness, it can’t emerge out of anything else. It doesn’t emerge because you think you understand it.
One of the great seductions—I’m a 5 after all—one of the great seductions of this knowledge is that it’s so damn interesting, and it is. And it seems endless.
I’ve been teaching 21 years and I'm still teaching it. But this isn’t what it’s about.
I’ve spent all these years teaching this knowledge because it is clear to me that this is a science and as a science it demands elaboration to the finest detail.
But to be lost in the knowledge and think that the knowledge itself can help you, that’s not true. It’s something to be deeply aware of.
I would prefer a simple player who experiments with their Design and lives it and lives to tell the tale, than somebody who studies and doesn’t live it.
The knowledge is for living. What the knowledge in this sense can bring you is recognition of signposts.
So you understand something about what it is to be a 2 and then you get to witness it as your process.
You get to see the validity of it; you get to see the truth.
Every truth, every moment that you operate correctly adds to your ability to trust in yourself and in your process.
It's only in that way that all of this becomes something that is not theory, but becomes something that not only do you live its expression, but you see the expression in others; the Projectors amongst you who are going to be able to recognize line thematics in the way in which people present themselves.
The scripts, all these scripts; the profile and its role and the cross, this character that you live is this life, how deeply you can enrich its process. Strategy and Authority is the catalyst.”
