The 6 (line) is narcissistic
Another from Koen Hillewaert Quote of the day
[here Ra’s speaking first about 6th line profiles briefly - ie role models leading the way via being themselves.
And then about his own 6th line Nodes - ie Environment and View relative to what we see in the world and “what we see” defining us - correctly or not … annnd lickity split, just like that, we’re back to correct decisions via inner/personal authority and strategy according to Type 🙃]
The 6 is Narcissistic
So, what happens when you get to the 6? It’s different. Sixes are the most different thing we have, truly they’re different. I’m a 5 person. If you get right down to it this is what I understand about the framework of things, you see that in the root of the bases in Design. When I look at a hexagram it is always clear to me that a hexagram is actually only five lines. That sixth one is sort of a part of the hexagram, sort of, but not really, not really at all. As a matter of fact, it isn’t interested in the hexagram, if I can put it that way. It isn’t interested in it.
In both of my nodes, in both PHS and Rave Psychology my nodes are 6’s. There is only one way that I understand the 6; it’s narcissistic. It just is. It’s narcissistic. It isn’t interested in the other. It isn’t looking out of those eyes to see the other. It isn’t. It so happens that the other gets in the way of where it’s looking, if I can put it that way.
It’s looking at itself. One has to understand something about the 6. My studio is rather cute. My studio is filled with all kinds of images from my career, posters and things like that. I’ve often been jokingly accused by my family of having a narcissistic trait with having all of these things up in my studio. Of course, I rationalize that in my own particular way as a shaman that all of these things have power, but nonetheless, the fact is I’m a 6 th color node. As a 6 th color node I see everything through myself. I don’t see myself through the other. I see the other through me. I compare them to me. I don’t compare myself to them.
What is a role model? The role model is an expression of individuality in the uniqueness sense of the word—individualness. These are our examples. The true role models, because we can see in their action that they are not affected by this or that, that we can see in their actions that their actions are somehow governed by some other rule. We call it strategy and authority. We call it the expression of uniqueness. Wherever you look at the 6, you’re looking at why this knowledge was given to us in the first place. This is why it was given to us. It wasn’t given to us so that we would look and see a great play of conditioning, homogenization. It wasn’t. It was given to us so that we could be empowered to live as ourselves outside of the program, outside of condition, to be able to be the expressions of uniqueness.
This knowledge is a setup to the changing of the era. I was trying to get it across the other night, the other class, that it is going to be very, very difficult for people to grasp what it means when this Cross of Planning goes away and we enter into this new age. How different it’s going to be. There will be no more 40/37. There will be no more support. There will be no more collective skills. There will be no more collective attention to detail. It will no longer be the background themes. There will be no support for community. It won’t be there. We don’t know anything about that.
Do you realize that every nine-centered being that has ever been born has been born during the time of the Cross of Planning? We’re used to this. We think it’s the way thing are—nations and multi-cultural unions and global humanitarian this and that’s, all these organizations, all these support mechanisms, all these things that hold our societies together, we take it for granted. We have no nothing else. Our parents, our grandparents, our great grandparents, they have no nothing else—Cross of Planning, community, support, God and breakfast all in one. It’s going away.
But I want you to understand that in terms of the not-self, which is life on this planet, what you see defines you. It defines you and you place yourself in its context. It’s interesting to think about that in the 21 st century with our movies and television and all of the things that we are able to see. And given that we do not operate correctly and therefore we cannot discern what is correct for us to see or not, that our very definition of ourselves, that our very understanding of ourselves is so deeply distorted. The not-self is lost.
