“We have a third kind of plant, and that third kind of plant is a behavioral plant. Behavioral plants have enormous impact on individuals. That is, behavioral plants can be everything from psychotropics to sedatives to whatever the case may be. But these are plants that alter behavior. These three basic types: power, well-being, and behavior.
For so many people, illness for them is not knowing how to behave. This channel that connects the 57 to the 10, this is called the channel of perfected form, a design of survival, the connection between awareness and behavior. And that the moment that you have a plant that carries this definition, you're taking directly into your system a pure survival mechanism that perfects your form, not simply by healing your immune system and awakening your intuition, but by guiding the nature of your behavior. Because there are six kinds of behaviors.
There are plants that allow you to be comfortable in any kind of situation. There are plants that will insist that you go into your privacy because you cannot heal without it, and they'll pull you away from others in your behavior. There are plants that force you to go through the trial and error of fighting illness. There are plants that are so fixed that your behavior becomes exactly what's necessary to heal yourself. There are all these variations, but they are behavioral plants, and through the behavior, you can guarantee that the well-being will exist.
And most of all, you have this 15th gate in this transpersonal, trans-speciel connection. The 15th gate is the gate of extremes, the gate of extreme rhythms. We have every conceivable variety that is out there. Plants have been dominating this planet for a very, very, very long time. And there's an incredible variety in all the possibilities and all the rhythms, you know, great trees that live thousands of years, weeds that flower and die. There are all these possibilities. There are all of these variations. This is the rhythm of the plant. But it's also the way in which the plant works as it metabolizes through your system.
There are plants that speed you up. And there are plants that slow you down. There are plants that activate cellular activity. There are plants that close down that cellular activity. These are rhythm plants. Rhythm plants are essential to understand if you're ever going to be able to heal something like cancer because that has to do with the mutation or distortion of the rhythm of the cell. And the rhythm of that cell can only be fixed by us or insects or mammals because the plant can't fix the pattern itself. Fixing the pattern is up to the other.
Think about what that means for us to fix the pattern of a plant…
…In other words, it is possible, by controlling the timing of the germination, it is possible to recognize the design of the plant. And the moment that you recognize the design of the plant, you have to see something. Just common sense tells you, if there's only four gates out of the 64 in the matrix that get programmed, if you're not controlling the germination of the plant, the vast majority of plants look exactly like this illustration. Everything's open, and they're being conditioned by the insects and the farmers and the culture that's around them--the wildlife, whatever is there.
But they themselves are not particularly fixed this way or that. There are certain plants that have a natural cycle where they get, where they do germinate in these specific times, and then you have those different qualities. But all of that is helter skelter being conditioned by the other creatures through the cross-speciel connections.
You know, this is what makes us as human beings unique. You know, what makes us unique is that with our self-reflective consciousness we can figure things out, and by figuring things out, we can change it. We can work with it. Once you understand that the plant itself is designed to ask to have its pattern fixed, it's designed to say, "Look, you human, you insect, please do something because I'm not in charge of my pattern. You are."
And it's not there simply that we could become agrarian and develop our civilization because we could figure out, you know, how to control the development of crops for food. It's deeper than that. It's to get past the food business and to get to the healing values and to recognize that at the healing level, at the food level, that by being able to control the nature of the design of the plant, we benefit ourselves, and we can benefit ourselves specifically. Like what happens to a human being if you have activations at either end of a channel, the whole channel will get colored in. The centers will be colored in, and you will have a fixed circuit. It is possible to develop archetypal plants for perfected healing, that we can germinate plants that only are archetypes for perfected healing, and that by having those living plants in your life, they bring that archetype of perfected healing into your life.
There are two channels that are formed in this configuration--three, pardon me. There is the 57-10. We talked about this, the channel of perfected form, the design of survival. And we have a channel that goes from the 34 to the 10. And this channel is called exploration. And it's a design of following your convictions, and in following your convictions, to be ultimately centered. Plants that carry the 34-10 have the power to center the behavior. In other words, I'm not just talking about physical maladies, physical remedies. I'm talking about psychic maladies--to empower a healing behavior, to allow for the following of that conviction, to give you the strength to stay healthy. And any plant, as long as you can control the nature of the germination, the timing of it, any plant can become that kind of ally.
What's required is the knowledge that you're developing, that is the knowledge to recognize which plant does what, what plants are really good for. Is this plant good for the heart? What plants are good for what things? And once you recognize what is the correct plant for the difficulty, then the ability to be able to refine that plant so that it carries within its living nature the power to transmit, and to put that information into somebody else, and heal them, and heal them. It's just a matter of recognizing that we are not alone and that we connect with all these other forms, and they're always impacting on us. It's a way of seeing that our need to protect the forest and the ecosystems and all this stuff, if you really think about it, this is what it's really about.
Because the moment that you have a plant in your life, that by touching it, it keeps you healthy, you have a very, very different relationship to that plant. That is a living thing that is very special for you. And you have a true contact with it. You keep it alive, after all. You feed it. You care for it. It cares for you.
This is what we're here to understand about our interconnectiveness with all things. You lose your respect for that plant the moment you kill it, you freeze dry it, you pack it, you ship it. This is not a living thing. It's gone. You're eating its ashes. This is about the respect for life and consciousness. And it's about having a proper education. By understanding the individual integrity of every living thing, you can also become its friend, its ally, and it can serve you.”

@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 ...
“The moment that you fill all that in, whatever type of plant you have, whatever kind of work that it does, the reality is that the moment you have contact with it, it gives you the archetype of well-being. It gives you the capacity to be centered. It gives you the ability to be healed. Most of us get that often from friends, from people around us who step into our aura and can make us feel better in a moment. And here with plants, because they have this incredible extreme, this rhythm that they move through, that there's so many possibilities, there's so many different kinds of things that the nature of having these allies in your life can be personalized to a point that's really amazing. All you need to know is the different kinds of plants, their different capacities in the healing process, and in knowing that, germinate them for the proper design.
Not everybody, not all humans, are going to have this whole system open. For example, in my design, I have the 57-10. I have this ...
"What it comes down to is the recognition and acceptance of the other for what they are. I think this is the deepest level we come to in Human Design, in regards to our relationship to the other.
We can never truly know the other and we can never truly be one with the other. That's not the way it works in the Maia. However, we can truly accept the other. This is the real beauty.
Acceptance for another human being is not something that you can just do. It really isn't, because you can see that in the complexity of any interaction between human beings, there can always be things that are very difficult to deal with.
But the moment you can see somebody and see that they are not responsible, it's not their fault.
For me, the first realization I had at the very, very beginning of my process was to let go of thinking that somehow my mother and my father were responsible in some way for something that should have been different.
To let go of the blame and fault and all of those things that connect so deeply to...
Relaxing into the movie.
Not identifying with personal feelings. Watching it unfold.
Yesterday was the first line day of the transit. I’ve come to an awareness about first line days with my boss (5/1 MG)
For a preface I work at a little mom and pop sandwich shop in Spokane. The high nooner. It’s been in business for over 30 years. Great sandwiches, I’m not bias, I’m convinced she orders her meats laced with drugs cause she got me addicted to roast beef and I don’t like roast beef 🤭
Anyway, high pressure, quickness, expedition has to be perfect. Always perfect. Her expectations are out of this world and as a deeply frustrated generator she has responses a lot when things get hiccups.
And boy oh boy, do they ever hiccup on a first line day. Coupled with training a new sandwich maker, it’s a recipe for disaster.
Add in me, the 1/3 splenic projector who try as I might, have limitations. I’ve been there 3 years now, I know what I’m doing, but the speed is still something I’m ...
Yesterday, @mellijae shared a graphic from 64Keys and it reminded me that there's a hashtag in here for #theplanets

"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."
