Discovering what is and is not you can be so very cool and relieving. ☺️
Below is a story from Ra that’s possible with any white center we may have - for me it’s always been my open head that was the gateway to this understanding.
Once I could see how much of what was going on in my head simply wasn’t mine 😅 … phew, talk about freedom 👀
Mind you, it wasn’t instant freedom - there were a lot of habits both internally and from the outside that I got to watch for months… even now it can be a thing, but freedom from the pressure to make everyone else’s concerns mine too??
Worth the watching FOR SURE 👍🏽
Now here’s Ra -
"Had it not been for the logic of Human Design I never would have told anybody anything.
It would have been my private moment of madness and I would have gone about my business of staying wild and enjoying it.
Because that’s my design.
And what changed all of that was watching the movement and the programming of the planets.
I had my experience at the beginning of January, from 3rd – 11th January 1987 –
And in the Program, in January and February, there is continual activation by the Sun and in the inner planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, of the emotional centre, or activations of gates to and in the human emotional system.
I have undefined emotional center. I only have one gate activated of the seven gates of the emotional system and it’s the 49 th gate, unconscious.
When I disappeared in 1983, I was somebody who had made all of the decisions up to that point in my life based on emotions.
I was considered to be emotionally volatile.
I’d gone through three divorces.
I’d gone through the amplification, the peaks an valleys of emotions and I’d lived my whole life giving emotions authority.
I just assumed that there was something wrong with me emotionally and this is what everybody else assumed!
That I had a chaotic emotional system and that, in fact, as it turned out being an Ego Manifestor and being so yang as I am, being driven by the amplification of the emotional system made me a very uncomfortable, if not dangerous, person.
I hurt a lot of people along the way.
In that experience of waking up to my design, that is to see the openness of my emotional system, and being the serendipity of having the planets about to plug me up, it was perfect.
It was so perfect that when the 19th gate was activated, I found myself sitting on a rock crying.
And there was no reason for me to cry.
And I was deeply emotional. It was the Moon. And it really blew my mind! The Moon!
‘You mean the Moon is going to come into my body and make me cry?!’
It was like some kind of science fiction movie. It didn’t seem plausible. ‘Does it really work that way?’
After all I was the first student of Human Design. I'm a messenger; I didn’t invent this.
I have had the same moments of doubt, wonder, denial - ‘Does this rock up there make my cry? That’s not possible. It must be something else’.
But it was the Moon.
Not only that. 19th gates are [activated in the designs of] my sisters.
I have two older sisters and they both have the 19th gate. And so I grew up with emotional conditioning. And when the 19 th gate is activated, I smell my sisters.
Many years ago my Dad was killed in car accident when he was in his eighties. And I was far away in a very different space. Four or five years later on [during] a tour in North America I stopped by to visit my mother in Hamilton, Ontario [Canada].
She asked me if I wanted to go out to the grave of my father. And I said “Yes, sure”. And so she and my eldest sister picked me up the next morning at my hotel and took me out to the cemetery.
And we went walking along and at some point we came to a whole row and my mother said to me “The grave is just down there and it’s on the right”. And my mother and sister walked away.
And so I came to the gravestone of my father. And I [never?] cried for my father when I knew he was gone.
I'm not a sentimental being, I'm unemotional and by that time in my process I was living my nature and I'm just very cool about everything.
And there it was, very sweet – ‘Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather’.
And I was sitting at the edge of the grave and lost in some kind of reverie, and all of a sudden I felt a pain.
It came in on my left side, through my back, into my kidneys and I could feel it like a knife piercing me. And at the same instant that I could feel this knife piercing me, the tears started to come out of my eyes. And there I am sobbing.
I turn around and there's my mother and my sister. All the tears that I had in the years that I grew up, everything I understood about tears - it was them.
There was no emotion for me in dealing with the grave of my father. None. I was just there.
But in the moment that they stepped into my aura, in the moment they brought that energy, all of that came flooding out through me.
And I had tasted it long ago.
On that first morning when I felt the Moon connect to my 49 and bring tears to my eyes. I would then go through the ordeal of the planets hitting all my emotional system.
And each one brought me another taste. It was incredible. It was like I could begin to remember people and the way in which I responded. I could see faces when gates would open. I had no connection with other people. There was no human being in my aura. There was simply me and the planets, nothing else.
And because I wasn’t conditioned by contemporary astrological thought, and all of these things about the values of planets, and what they mean, and what they do, I was a virgin.
And every time a planet touched a gate and opened up a channel for me, and defined a process for me, not only did I get to understand the nature of how I had been conditioned all my life, but I met these forces.
They're not out there, they're in here. Every day. All the time. Endlessly.
And they're really different. They're flavours. You have a gate. It’s active. There's nothing on the other side. If you're lucky, you get to meet them all there. It depends on where Pluto and Neptune are in their cycle.
But look in your design for a gate that any of those forces can touch [here I think he’s talking about hanging gates in general and the transits] and there is the greatest teaching you'll ever have about what they are.
You want to know the planets? You want to meet the gods? You can meet the gods in yourself.
They're really there.
You can taste them.”

@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 ...
For my 6th grade graduation (1979-ish I think 🤔), we learned a few songs to sing so we could perform them as a class for our families who came to our program to celebrate with us.
The only song I remember (and remember all the words to - I found myself spontaneously singing it in the car just the other day) is “The Greatest Love of All” originally recorded by George Benson in 1977 and ultimately became universalized (ha! I typed that and then had to check - seems she was a 4/6 sacral MG) by Whitney Houston in 1985.
This is George Benson singing it -
Talk about programming :)
"It is a profound teaching, that Love begins within oneself, in the true aloneness of the illusion of form: that universal Love can only be found in the Now, in surrender to the life that happens: that there can be no love in or for Humanity until its actions are correct; and finally that it is our form, our bodies that need to be honored as vehicles of consciousness and that...
"It is so POWERFUL, the conditioning of the family Penta and it’s relationship to the world around it - you want your children to be “NORMAL”.
And actually, what you’re saying is, you want your children to be WELL HOMOGENISED.
Just as FUCKED UP as everybody else’s children.
And you see, parenting is about AWARENESS.
It’s about awareness.
The MAGIC of Human Design is, Human Design is the Science of Differentiation.
DIFFERENTIATION.
It’s what’s so special about this knowledge, is that it gives you a blueprint of what makes you DIFFERENT. What makes you UNIQUE.
What makes YOUR CHILD different.
What makes YOUR CHILD unique.
It’s not about looking at your child’s Design and saying, ‘ooooh they’re going to have problems with this in school, we better give them - colour this in’.
The reality is, when you look at the nature of your child, and you look at their Design, what you see IS THEM.
Not what you WANT them to be.
Not what you want them to be because of the pressure - mostly ...
White centers with no dormant (ready and waiting to be activated) gates radiating from them are considered ‘open’.
BUT there’s also the gates that point to them from other centers that can have their impact, or not.
This is the nuance Ra is talking about here.
"In other words, when you have a totally open center, it doesn't operate like a center that's open with one or more gates in it."
>"In other words, when you have a totally open center, it doesn't operate like a center that's open with one or more gates in it.
The best way to understand that is in terms of fear. After all, the splenic center is an awareness center, a deep fear center. It carries within it our primal fears.
If you have absolutely no activation there, you are either going to be very fearful, you're going to learn how to deal with fear, or you're going to be beyond fear.
If you have a child with a totally open spleen, if they're on the roof and they've made cardboard wings, thechances are they have no idea that jumping off that...

"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."
