I want to do some research for a practical book on how to make money by knowing your design. And be healthy and have each day filled with joy.

Do you have any have specific anecdotes about how to live your design to gain Health Wealth and Happiness?

There is also a burning question - the undefined ego cannot make promises or commitments and this seems to be a drawback in making money. No promise to go to work or keep appointments - any comments folks on how you make money with an undefined ego and also live your design?

Either post here or email me

Heidi, I'm also a MG with a defined mind. profile 6/3.

You have to understand that wanting something will lead sooner or later to worrying about it.

But, I wouldn't go so far as to colapse issues, money-bad, no money - virtuous.

You know, I have quite a lot of money every month and I enjoy spending it, but I would not worry about tomorrow. If I have no money tomorrow by being correct I'm sure it's as much enjoyable as having money.

But I'm a little crazy anyway, because although I have a big house, a really nice recording studio, nice income, I wouldn't mind at all to leave material wealth and security behind and live in a tree like Ra. Really. It's so much more exciting!
There is a deep feeling of security in me lately. I would love to go to Ibiza and live with nothing, the problem is it wouldn't be correct for me.

Quote:
I think the reason why I'm not fully getting the thing about desires and wants and needs, is because I'm not 'there' yet.

The thing about HD, and I'm speaking here not as an expert, but how I understand it as a newcomer, is that you first have to understand it intellectually before you can 'get there' as you say.
You can only 'get there' by first understanding it with your mind, and then starting the experiment to defeat the mind.

The key to your open centres, as you probably know yourself, is to make decisions correctly. Otherwise you mind will make decisions based on you conditioned open centres, where all these fears that you mention take place.
You have to see that all these fears have nothing to do with you, they don't even belong to you. But your mind can never understand that.

Let's have some fun with HD! :)

Hey

Thanks for the clarifying explanation. I get what you're saying now.

I think the reason why I'm not fully getting the thing about desires and wants and needs, is because I'm not 'there' yet.

Also in my (defined, hehe!) mind there's a clear distinction between wanting something and needing to worry about it.

Dunno, this will get clearer for me as I keep playing around with HD.

For now, I know that I will probably always have moments when I feel I can't survive (open spleen, heart, G); I've noticed that just knowing that it's my mind trying to get me to do something to soothe that fear (which is obviosly not my strategy) is a tremendous relief.

Being a MG is really a blessing for me, because whenever I get into this fear mode (and if you look at my emotional center you will know what i mean ;-), I just take out my projects-list and see what I respond to. I really don't have to make an effort to get going. Ijust get instantly happy doing stuff. I'm also blessed in that I have a couple of people (coincidentally it's the ones who assigned me those projects) who are all perfect guides for me - I had their charts read!).

Again, thanks for clarifying. I enjoyed our little interaction here immensely :)

Haha! Relax Heidi! I was never referring to you or people in general. And if I gave the impression I'm sorry for that. I just said I had some bad experiences with someone who used HD for years wrongly (as analyst)
I can only hope this cases are in the minority, and I'm absolutely sure there are lots of very very qualified people out there. I meet them every day now.

Nothing to worry about anyway.

I try to tell people about their strategy and inner authority whenever I can and whenever they are ready to hear it. Since I'm a MG I have to wait for such opportunities. But I saw that some people really struggle to grasp it properly in the beginning.

So, if you are saying that it's our attachment to what we want that's causing the trouble, I cannot agree with you more.
- It's up to everyone, as far as I'm concerned, to consider wanting whatever as wrong or right. Personally, it doesn't serve me to judge, blame something that I can't help. I don't know about you guys, but I just find myself wanting stuff, food water shelter and money to pay for it. And, I pretty darn well am not going to blame myself or others for it either.

I think you still don't know what I mean. Let me try again:

It's not about attachment. It's not about not having something.
It's about WISHING FOR IT. Having DESIRES.
There is no need to WORRY. No need to wish and desire.

As long as you operate correct you don't have to worry about food, shelter, money. I mean you don't have to worry about ANYTHING.
This is what I'm trying to say: Stop thinking AHEAD. Stop thinking or worrying about the future. It's all been taken care of, as long as you operate correctly today, in the now.

There is no need to wish for anything at all, because you don't know where correct decisions will lead you in the future.
You might wish for the wrong things, that are not meant for you and then, all you create is a lot of resistance and suffering.
Just let it happen Heidi, stop thinking about food, shelter, money.

Oh yes, I know, it takes a lot of courage and trust into life!
But if you never try you will never know....

Sounds like magic, but can you say for sure it doesn't work?

Lets start the experiment.

love

Steve

Hi

I can't really respond to you, because I'm not clear about the points you are making.

Couple of things to clarify what I understand from what you are saying:

1. >>>Heidi, I think there is definately something wrong with wanting money. I have no problem with getting money or having it as long as I let it happen, as a result of being correct. It really doesn't matter if it's lots of money or not. Because you have no choice. <<<

- So, if you are saying that it's our attachment to what we want that's causing the trouble, I cannot agree with you more.
- It's up to everyone, as far as I'm concerned, to consider wanting whatever as wrong or right. Personally, it doesn't serve me to judge, blame something that I can't help. I don't know about you guys, but I just find myself wanting stuff, food water shelter and money to pay for it. And, I pretty darn well am not going to blame myself or others for it either.
- what i DO about it and how ... now THAT is another story; that's where the HD strategy comes in very handy, provided I have the guts to even hear my response, let alone follow it.

2. I'm not sure where you got the idea that I'm an expert at HD. I'm not teaching it, making money off of it or anything else. Would be nice if I did ;-), but I'm not there yet. Not in this lifetime. Like most of the rest of us, I'm just doing the best I know how to learn and experiment and share my experience. I've had some exhilarating ones that filled me joy and hope. Other than that, what I'm sharing is my experience the way I understand it so that it may encourage others to try HD as well. I am definitely not on a crusade; anyone is free to suffer more, no problem!
- I may be misunderstanding (my bias, sorry), but I don't feel that there is a HD aristocracy or something. Actually, the brief exchanges I had with people who really REALLY know what they are doing (like RA for example) were totally warm and supportive. He didn't make me feel like a sub-species because I'm just beginning to grasp HD. On the contrary.
- So, I'm sorry to say, I have a deep yucki reaction when you generalize and judge me and others (God knows based on what assumptions) and based on blaming whatever circumstances and people you had in your life.
- That is ok. Blame and anger feel better than helplessness and surrender. Question is : does it further you or does it keep you stuck in resisting what's really going on?

3. Granted, people should've told you and educated you. Truth is, they didn't. All that means is that they were ... well, I can't find another word than 'not-selfs in action', which is what most of us are anyways (in varying degrees).

4. The problem with understanding or not understanding HD is that it's the wrong question, at least for me. It doesn't help anyone one bit.
What helps is surrendering to the experience in the hope that it'll all get clear one day.

And, let me just end with this: I'm really sorry for the bad circumstances you had in your life. But, I wouldn't go so far as to colapse issues, money-bad, no money - virtuous. Whatever makes you happy!

All my best to you

Heidi, I think there is definately something wrong with wanting money.

I have no problem with getting money or having it as long as I let it happen, as a result of being correct. It really doesn't matter if it's lots of money or not. Because you have no choice.

In an ideal situation and if you grasp the essence of Human Design, there is no 'wanting' of material wealth.

Whatever will come to you will be the right thing as long as you live correct.
When you want something, you are probably making decisions with your mind.

I saw it many times before with friends of mine who claimed to be 'experts' of HD. Long before I knew anything about HD.
I mean, they introduced me to HD, but all that they showed me were some channels that I have or don't have. Told me what talents I have, and how to improve my financial situation.

Did they ever tell me about my Strategy? Did they tell me about Inner Authority?

Oh no!

The exact same people worked for years for big co-operations and businesses, helping people in management etc. with HD, and MAKING MONEY with that. Understand me right, I mean it was the analyst making money, not the business he adviced.

You know the impression that I have? They were not interested in HD.
They were only 'using' HD as a means of making extra money themselves. Again, there is nothing wrong if you get money for being an analyst. But if your sole motivation is generating money and HD is for you a business to do that there is definately something wrong.
In a way they told people what they wanted to hear. And that is not mentioning your Inner Authority and Strategy. Oh no. They told them how to make money, so that these clients would come back to them again.

But this is really dangerous because they are giving the wrong advice and don't even know the essentials of HD.

In the end I never figured out if they really didn't understand HD or if they simply were not interested in telling people.

And you know what is so funny? They lost all their clients after 10 years and struggle for survival. One of them asked me for advice last year. They still don't get it.

Honour your Strategy. Honour you Inner Authority.

Because they did not tell me that, I had no real idea what HD is all about for a very long time, and finally lost interest in this system at all.

I think you have to make one thing quite clear people right from the beginning. And that is:
As long as you honour your Strategy, as long as you honour your inner authority, you don't have to wish for ANYTHING AT ALL.
You can not. I mean that's one of the cornerstones of HD for god's sake!

I realized one big thing with HD. All wealth, material or not, will come to me by being correct.

There is nothing else to do.

You will always have enough to eat. And you will have inner wealth. What more can you wish for?

I'm really on a crusade throughout my life. Telling people: Why the hell are you so concerned about money??

Both of my parents were one of the worst examples I've ever met. Which ended with my mother in a madhouse, my brother killing himself and me not having any contact with my family anymore.
I simply couldn't. I tried many ways of showing them a way out of their misery. But all they were concerned about was me. Showing me that I am the one who is miserable because I'm not finacially successful in their eyes.
They had more money that anyone of us could ever spend, but they were making their and everybody elses lives impossible, because they were obsessed with money.
On the other hand they were living like peasants. There was no happiness, no laughter, no love, no guests in this house anymore.
They are so afraid every single day that they could lose their money, or will not get enough in the future, it makes you sick.

Enough for today..... sorry about that long post

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Any criticism welcome!

Hi

Forgive my provocation here, but is there anything wrong with wanting and making money? I think it's a beautiful thing!

As far as I'm concerned, thinking that there is something wrong with making lots of money has to do with the erroneous belief that there isn't enough of everything for everybody. That is of course true if we hop around as our not-selfs trying to push strings, rather than be ourselves, eliminate resistance and trust that if you allow hd to work through you, you'll be fine and all of the universe will be fine as well.

Thank God, we're not calling ALL the shots as to who should do what.

Just my 2 cents, no offense :)

-----------

what about the thought that there is actually more than enough[abundance] therefore we don't need to use money as an instrument to limit what we SHARE with each other.....

what I'm propossing is it's the opposite of what you are saying

if we actually honestly believed there was this abundance that you talk of then why do you need to create a barter note in the form of money

why not just ask and share ? ? ?

why is it the pro-money people that claim abundance consciousness as theirs and default those that see the limitation of money as being in scarcity conscious... the root of the issue is a meritocrasy that rewards ability to generate barter notes over personal character

abundance consciousness has appealing hooks to the not self as does scarcity consciousness...

still I'm sure no one here is investing in blood diamonds or munitions even tho it would increase their "abundance" ... neither do I know if a world full of people living their design will stop innocent men getting convicted....

you could say the starving biafrans chose to be victims before this incarnation

or you could say they chose that life to give the rest of us the opportunity to learn benevolance and generosity

who knows

but in a world that some say is scarce of compassion and wisdom - money is an asset if you need to buy justice [now there's an old quote]

compare the trials of OJ vs the Hurricane

if we've had scarcity consciousness and abundance consciousness

then what about guardianship consciousness

we've had it before... storing grain after the harvest for winter etc.........

I don't mean to offend you but things like that make me cringe.

It seems that you know a lot about HD. I don't. I only started a couple of weeks ago to go deeper, but what you are suggesting seems to put a lot of wrong things in people's heads. As if they don't have enough of that already!
To me, the title is exactly what HD ISN'T about.

I think the ONLY one trying to make money is YOU by publishing such a book. And yes you are 'using' Human Design, but certainly not APPLYING it. If you know what I mean.

This is my first day on this forum and I already start making enemies! :shock: Gulp

Quote:
I think the best way is to learn how to teach it to others.

Again, if your motivation is to make money I don't want you as my teacher. If you would enter into such a thing correct you would not worry about money, because everything that you need will come to you.

Hello everyone,

This is a fabulous thread! I've got a couple of cents on the subject :)

First, I'm a manifesting generator, open G, open spleen, no ego, no emotional definition but loooots of gates.

Throughout my life, I prided myself that I always kept my promises, and keeping one's word was sort of the make or break of any relationship I ever had. Hilarious! Of course, in the secrecy of my own thoughts I knew that I couldn't keep my promises, and if you have an open ego, you will know what that does to your self-worth and confidence.

I am very relieved that making promises is not what's required of me. Yay! long live HD!

I've wondered many times how the heck I will get anything done (and, I've got lots of stuff to get done <hint> :lol: ) if I there's nothing I can do to have reliable will power.

What I've discovered is that if I don't get it done, it didn't need to get done to begin with. It's just my mind's agenda and my ego trying to make me prove that I can deliver and pushing me to act. In other words, whatever I do as consequence of my sacral response is THE BEST thing that needs to happen. Sometimes, there is a inner commitment that I feel, and I just soar getting unbelievable stuff done quickly and perfectly. Other times, I just feel a slackening of energy ... then I turn to my list and leave stuff unfinished. On plenty occasions I later saw how what I had left unfinished either got fixed by someone else (at work for example), or the project was dropped and unnecessary.

I guess what I mostly want to be my point is that our designs are not a punishment. I find mine really funny. Why, because, ever since I became really serious about doing the best I can, responding to what comes at me from the outside and taking action on that, no matter how crazy my response and action are, I am having the time of my life. Busy, busy, doing stuff that at first looks really stoopid ... but then, no doubt, the fates take care of me.

Most recent example: In January (after 3 months of suicidal depression) I finally got hired to do email support for an online training school. It was a close call, and they almost didn't hire me even though I'm way over-qualified ... My plan was to just do everything that comes my way. I spent zero time promising or planning and I'm really not interested in climbing up the corporate ladder. I was also hurting financially.

It is May now, and somehow I became systems manager and a whole lot of other things. And, I'm still doing everything that comes my way, no questions asked. It keeps me happy. And it makes me proud. I also know that if I lose this job which I try not to be attached to, I have no clue what will be next. I only know that there will always be stuff for me to do and since I do it NOW, there is really no need to commit to anything.

Well, I hope this makes sense.

I am also going through Chiron return and I feel like I'm engaged in some sort of magic that propels things my way. It's like I feel everything more fully ... the pain and the exhilaration and the doubts and fears. But somehow it doesn't phase me like it used to, because I'm so happy being busy!

When we make “Money Course” last year in international Ibiza event with Ra it was clear that people spend a lot of money through the not self. Many people wing a lot of money through their not self, and causes infelicity in his self and others.

Design knowledge allows you to be you. You can not buy you with money and you can fill very rich if you have enough to live another day.

Well, live your design. If there is in your design to wing and manage a lot of money, do it through your true self not through your not self. It could be better for everyone.

undefined ego

The undefined ego. Very early in my life with design I went to an event and listened to Ra talk. He went thru a chart – apparently an unusual approach for him at that time. He described the difficulty for the undefined ego and commitments saying that the undefined ego doesn’t understand the ego process. The defined ego understands it perfectly well. For the undefined ego, once it is engaged it doesn’t know how to let go – yet the energy is lacking to back it up. It is the lack of understanding of the process that makes letting go of the commitment difficult, and it is the lack of ego energy to stay with it that causes the stress. Of course that is a generalization. Any given person may, by virtue of learning or other variables, come to an understanding of the mechanics with or without design. Personally, I had made a general choice to honor commitments and I paid a price for it, because honoring any commitment became a ‘habit’ not a conscious choice. I’m more careful about making commitments now and I allow myself more latitude and flexibility about keeping them or not. I’m not so uptight with the process as I used to be.

Some thoughts from a novice with a 4...

I'm a split definition projector with a 63-4 64-47 48-16

WHAT a delight to finally be justified in my TOTAL inability to keep appointments without tremendous physical and emotional stress.
You bring up a really interesting idea about how to work, make dough, with this design. I am a fine-art painter, so I did manage to jump that hurdle, but it was imperative for me to work by/for myself doing something I could do at any moment... To take your concern a step further - I was one of those kids who had strong brain stuff - both logic, and abstract, but was a failure in school because I could NOT get to class on time, or sometimes not at all, nor do homework, luckily I had parents who didn't think school was the end-all. It's hard on us though to still have to keep certain appointments, though I have gotten to the point where people know that I'll either get there when I get there - or won't come at all. And yes! for me it is very much like a hex - if I say I'll be there, I will have 40 other, more interesting things going on. So I feel that for our design, we must be our own bosses, or have ones that are enlightened to our time-frames. I never understood why my bosses couldn't just deal with the fact I was late every day..............................!!!

And your comments about the effects on the body really resonate with me.
My father got a horrible disease, and I am CERTAIN he had an undefined ego that was forced to work on the clock. My feeling in the last "regular" job I managed to do for a while was that I was DYING from it. I not only was under completely disproportionate stress from keeping someone else's hours, but emotionally I felt like I was withering away sitting in that chair, I would go into deep and chronic depressions.
Certain days I would walk in, turn around, walk out to a phone, call my boss and say I was not well enough to be there, and it was true... I amazed everyone with my seemingly selfish intent to insist I was unable to do what so many people do without thinking, or at least without feeling like they are dying from it.

And then to have a double 46 makes me say YES to everything.....
ouch.

I'm finally grooving with great a group of friends that get me - love me but are never hurt when I don't show up.
My family still gets hurt sometimes, and I have to let a lot of their emotions roll off me without guilt - as I am feeling what they feel!!!!!! What a life.

Thank you Ra wherever you are...

I didn't know Ra did a workshop on making money from HD. I can't understand the concept at all. I totally stand by my earlier post that making money becomes irrelevant as we learn to be our true selves because while we are not fully our true self we live in lack (lack of self) and it wouldn't matter how much money we made, we'd still feel poor/emptyat some level or fragment of our being.

I am totally convinced, however, by your last post, as so let me say: my experience of using my HD design to make money is that I am letting go of my addiction to overcommitment, that I am learning patience, that I am learning to perceive an invitation to engage in life from my true self and to give a yes or no from my inner authority. That means I have stopped trying to force or manipulate myself to do things for the sake of making money. I have pulled my energy out of the healing centre I was in because it became clear to me that I was pushing myself rather than being in the relaxed receptive state I have begun to recognise as my true creative being, and I have not proceeded to train as an analyst because I am blocked at every turn - so I am waiting. (I succumbed and sent out a few feelers- I call them invitations to an invitation - and got nothing meaningful back!)

Meanwhile I am building my own perceptions of HD (I have 60/3), and the other modalities I'm using and coming up with some amazing mutations of each one. Divine timing, flow and creativity abound as I have followed my design, let go of my fear of not having enough money (conditioning in the 45 which is pretty much my only bridge to my throat) and life feels wonderful.

Oh, and I'm totally and completely broke - not a penny to my name and wondering how I will pay the rent AND provide christmas dinner for my kids.

in love, lightbeing

The third line of the hexagram is the line of trial and error, or the martyr, and of mutation. As such it is the line that is most connected to material reality and hence to money. When Ra gave a course on How to make money with Human Design, he went through the not self centres and then all the third lines of all the hexagrams. So for ra, the third line is the ink to material reality, bumping into things, trial and error, bonds made and broken, and on and on. Mutation enters phsyciality through the third line, apparently. sorry, that should read fiscality. fizzycality. Oh my brain....

It is clear that nobody on this forum wants to share their own experiences of material well-being. There is a whole circuitry weithin the bodygraph about human experience and the end of this process is to tell everyone about it - the witness, the prodigal, the storyteller etc. This is a forum. A place for chit chat.

Putting forward thoeries is one thing. nice nice nice. But that is the level of debate of mankind for hundreds of years and this debate is often without experiences, that is a range of experiences, that is more than one person's experience. Everyone's collective experience. I think that Ra suggests we expeirence life so that otehrs do not need to have the same experience, so let's document some anecdotes.

Come to think about it - this topic belongs elsewhere in the forum.

Good point Cynical Shaman,

I can see that my post was not specific enough. I do tend to read (and write) between the lines. My response is this: I believe that all we need to do is support people who wish to do so to live their design as fully as possible because in this way they will experience abundant living. As you so rightly point out, and as I was attempting to say myself, not everyone's design is about making or even desiring money.

And so, the short answer from me: how to achieve wealth and happiness from your design? - learn to live it. There aren't any tricks or techniques. They would only constitute an avoidance - a game by the not-self to deceive and confuse.

3: I don't have an undefined ego, but I can understand how that would be a puzzle and a paradox.

in love, lightbeing

PS. still know next to nothing about this third line thing.... anyone?

Making Money

Why is everyone taking this so personally?

The original post says 1) intention to write a book about increasing health wealth and happiness 2) anyone got any relevent anecdotes? 3) Example of the type of topic is how can you keep appointments, go to work on time, if you have an open heart centre?

There are many reactions to the person writing and I want to repeat Ra's advice - Don't Take it Personally!

Don't take anything personally!

Many replies focus on Desire for wealth. uh? It is obvious from both common experience and from Human Design Knowledge that desire is not a tool that gets results.

Forget the desire. Some people desire, others don't. Desire has mechanics that are not essential to be happy healed and affluent.

What does Human Design tell us about these three - wealth health hapiness?

HD says we are individuals. Know and love thyself, blah blah blah, in a complex matrix where TIMING is everything because time is an illusion created by the movement through space which also generates Mutation. Aha! And the specific mutation of Material form is more specifically hinged to the THIRD of the six lines - the line for Trial and Error, for Martyrdom, and so on.

Blah blah blah. What does this mean outside of Ra speak? becuase Ra speak is firstly tainted by the characteristics of Ra himself - maybe his word "surrender" spoken by such an Ego manifestor, is not what you or I mean by this same word? Secondly Ra effortlessly makes money and survives in tha material world, that is his design, it is not mine, and may not be yours. So we need to translate, reinterpret, and better to do this while he is alive and there is some chance that our misinterpretations will be targeted and corrected. Thirdly the people who followed Ra clearly reflavoured the Human Design message. His first talk in San Miguel in February 1992 was for scientists and intellectuals, it was the talk I had always wanted to hear myself. But over the years Human Design has refocussed on the Help me save me dis-confuse me type of person more than the atomic scientist or the mathematician. That is beautiful and lovely but it is one-sided - experiential rather than logical.

Logical people really really have problems to de-construct their minds and grasp ideas anew. But write about money healing and joy and most people are intrigued.

Clearly this whole human design knowledge will go through many re-interpretations. Once Ra passes from this Earth into the Sun, all manner of false prophets will come forward to superglue fragmentary misinterpretations into mainstream science and politics, for their own glory and occasionally for truth and honoring their part in the cinema of life. And maybe Ra was not the only one to get such a message from such a source?

In the immortal words of the baboon in the Lion King, It is Time!

Now you are confused. Thank God.

And as you begin to see some clarity through the mist, know that this clarity is in fact yourself. It is your individuality. It is the summit of beauty and love. Yourself. Love yourself.

So let us ask the original questions: Do you want to share some real experience from your life - probably you will have gates or channels in what is called the Sensing Circuit - designed for sharing your own personal experience through anecdotes. Let's hear where logic went wrong for you, or when timing was just right...

And finally, third matter raised, how do we solve the conflict of society's expectations such as being on time and making commitments, with the reality of people - 65% or two out of every three people cannot make commitments!!

for visitor

I like your posts, Visitor
because ,,,well I am not sure why.
It must be a personal thing, since liking/not-liking is....is it personal?
What ever!
I do like your writing, even if it is not personal.

I just want to add some thoughts to yours... because your post provoked them in my mind (or that's how it feels anyway)....Here I go. I hope it is interesting to you.
Nowhere is the total truth written down. Or is it?
Is the "total truth" in the Biblie?
Is HD the total truth?
Does any "truth" can ever be absolute?
Is there such thing as "the truth"?
Truth-or whatever "it" is- seems to always be evolving, so how can one "truth" be manisfested in one moment and remain true for always?
If the SP for instance is going to mutate as result of evolution (or is it going to evolve as result of mutation?), how could the rest of the bodygraph remain the same?
What about the following? Imagine that by collectively acquiring HD knowledge, we human beings get ready to mutate in a specific way (I could believe that)...IN such case, HD is necessary for us in order to undergo a specific mutation. But, due to the limitations of our human minds(as compare to "what Is"), we need to be told a sort of story that makes sense to us but which is by no means close to the bigger truth. Always following this line of thoughts and after we mutate and get more inclusive, we will develop other theories that will be closer to the ever evolving bigger truth.

Here is one more tought:
HD is a temporary tool which improves our learning but it can not be either absolute nor totally inclusive.
I thank HD so much for many perspectives...but believing it to be the "only" truth or tool or what ever is difficult for a mind like mine.
Very difficult.

It is "my" style to learn everything and anything that catches my interest, to absorbe it and excercise it, to integrate it and to incorporate it and so I understand it's limitations, too.
Then...I let it go!!! and keep my search....
It is not true to me for instance that searchers never find their goal (as I have read in HD)...to me as a searcher (and I do have the 11/56) the goal is the search itself. So, I respect Ra's interpretation of that channel but do not necessarily share it.
I do find many limited explanations in Ra's books. But then, how could Ra go around all duality and give all and every alternative in each explanation he gives?
In such case books would never end. So, that's not possible.
Limitation is part of definition.
He has to limit his own definitions and by doing so the rest of us could get even more limited, since we will depart feom a limited concept, instead of departing from a duality pair.
My last thought is not to imply that Ra is limited but that we all are, specifically because we tend to understand concepts in such a clear-cut manner...when everything in this dimensios is so dual (or is this also "a concept"?) and ever inclusive.
To my mind, there is nothing that can be manifested (written down, explained) without limitations....and sooooo there is no statement that can be taken as absolute truth.
Confused?
It is good to me to be confused...It is not necessarily a hassle as one can sometimes grasp from HD descriptions. Confusion is not necessarily a signal of unrest either(though it can be). To my mind it is mainly a signal of the impossibility to arrange ideas and concepts in only-one-way....One can always shuffle them!!!

How can a defined mind come to this sort of wisdom if only undefined centers are capable of wisdom?
Here we go...Nothing is absolute and no concept can be totally defined without facing limitations...
Still, we need concepts which are fatally limited to a specific time and to specific cases. The same happens to HD.
I believe that humans, the interpreters and the vassels of HD should could be much more open in our interpretations. WE shouldn't take Ra's interpretations as an absolute. Fundamentalism is kind of a very limited thing.

But there we go: I am a 2/4 projector with lots of individuality and with a fully defined mind (all mental channels with the exception of one gate), always according to the HD model.
According to Ra's description of 28/38 channel:
I STRUGGLE TO KNOW WHAT IS OF VALUE
And I do. As a principle I do not take any knowledge for granted. According to my perception of myself it is true that I "HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH KNOWING ITSELF UNTIL IT IS CLEAR THAT IT IS OF VALUE".
I would add the following to Ra's quote :
There is no one body-of-knowledge, there is no one source, one theory, one book, or one voice for that matter, totally valuable.
So I struggle to find what is valuable (should I add here "to me"?) in every theory.

Does that makes a rebel of me?
I leave this part to "the collective" since "INDIVIDUALS IMPACT ON THE COLLECTIVE ALWAYS GOES THROUGH STRUGGLE."

But again, isn't every perspective biased?

Disguised as wealth

You know, I think things can often be disguised as other things. Not very profound really, but still.......

What will wealth/money bring to you WD? What constitutes wealth? What sits under your desire for wealth and money? I don't mean this as a critisism because I feel it too.

I agree with your comments on this post about making money. We each of us have in our design the seeds for abundant living. Maybe not money, as kip so wonderfully expressed, but definitely abundant living.

Can someone explain this third line thingo... what's it got to do with making money and how does it link the hexagram to the material world or whatever that was?

in love, lightbeing

No. I disagree. I find that there is some eerie continuity between me and everything in the world. If I so much as hint that I will be somewhere, something always crops up. It is magic. Now that I know this, I may even consider trusting that if I am about to promise something, I can say I know that thing is impossible, or not meant to be. Scary. But that is my experience and also Ra's audio confirms that the very act of commitment creates strain and disease in the undefined ego.

Quote:
You don't need an ego to make money, or a 3rd line.

No. But the third line theme reveals the way the hexagram links to material forms, as I understand it. Whatever line you have, the third line is relevent to understand the trial and error of that hexagram in relation to material form, and so to money. And the material connection of the electromagnetic (or harmonic) gate. And surely the aspects that may be excluded by your defined channels.

My point is that if you have an undefined ego, and commitments strain your health, and certainly will damage your wealth in the long run, then what ways do you find wealth without normal working hours for example. Is there anyone who has been there and done that, or read any biographies that are relevent to strengthen our specific understanding of this? Clearly art, music recording, poetry, writing are tailored to undefined egos. Performance is not, as it needs a commitment to time and place. 9 to 5 work is out, as an undefined ego can lead to heart and digestive problems from the commitment to get out of bed in the morning. My Dad died of a heart attack, and I would not want anyone to lose a father or a friend through anything as stupid as working hours. I am sorry to sound brutal about the lives of so many ordinary people. But this is the theory of Human Design, and I think we need to discuss if it is rubbish or true before we talk about anyone changing careers.

Just take the Blue pill, Neo.

My God kip, your Saturn is so strong. Thank you for responding with your line 4, I wish you every respect and I can only presume that my gate of doubt (63) with mars (immature and selfish enthusiasm) in line 2 (externalisation, the hermit) is giving your gate 4 line 6 (trial and error, wisdom in later life) a rough time (Saturn).

Thank you for your stimulating post, if this reply is too strong, I will withdraw it.

Guest - thank you for your encouragement. A week ago I wanted to delete all my contributions to this forum and give up. My stream of consciousness thinking started in a near death experience in Maui in 1989. I did not go up towards the light, I went downwards, and I remember some kind of learning taking place about the subtle qualities of particular syllables, beyond normal linguistics into the vibrations of material form. I often have experiences others might label as channeling (and even rhapsodomancy), but this was too freaky for me so I stopped it some years ago. Although my 23-43 link is in black - conscious, I have this kind of inner cathedral where consciousness is not possible, and I love to stand at the doorway and watch the whispers in the wind.

Hi Digidoc, Interesting posts. I have Gate 4. My definition is 17-62, 10-20, 31-7. I also have Gate 16. Sacral - empty, ego - empty, spleen - empty, Crown - empty.

Undefined egos can make promises, but they find them hard to break. You don't need an ego to make money, or a 3rd line. Knowing HDS doesn't give us control over the world. There is no "way" to make money - if there were we'd all be rich. There are millions of ways to make money, that's why so many people have been able to do it. Some people don't try, some do. Some succeed, some fail. If you really want to make money then you either do whatever it takes for you to make it (maybe you succed, maybe not) or you wait for it to fall into your lap (maybe it does, maybe it doesn't).

Everybody is "living their design" - whether they know it or not. Most of us periodically live other's designs as well - whether we know it or not. Ain't life grand?

Hey Digidoc,

how about reciting stream of consciousness poems on stage, or publishing fractal mythologies? I'll buy one.

I love reading your thoughts, keep them coming.

Thanks for the words of wisdom Gennaro. I also want to say the structure of the forum is improving, and I really appreciate the hard workl you put in for us all to have this resource.

My feeling is that we may want to provoke and mutate. And doubt and all these delicious aspects of being human. In know that you are the boss around here, and the official line is live your design follow your strategy.

Yes this is true. But sometimes it is annoying and just too difficult to grasp. I do not recommend always living your design. I recommend experimentation, and finding who you are, and what works for you. This is much broader and more enticing.

I also think that there is a lot of pressure on most people in today's world to make money. This leads to powerful conflicts with living your design. If you cannot make promises, and many of us have an undefined ego, we cannot, then is there a way to live in the normal workplace, and in the material world and so on?

These are challenging and vital discussions to have.

I want to open that debate, and this is a community process. I pose the questions, raise the doubts, I am gate 63. If you have gate 4, I invite you specifically to watch my postings and if you can, post or email a response. Every one of my white gates is a thirsty tongue and I say let me taste your experiences, let me hear, let me compare, and distill it into words for the minds of those who live in the mind.

The mechanics of human design mean that some people are destined to teach and most of us are not. I do not agree that the best way to make money is to sign up, that is sect talk, that is suspect, and my gate of doubt is flashing like a blue light. Am I living my design? Maybe, I cannot let my mind intrude to decide if I am or not. I choose health wealth and happiness. If I have those, I am OK, who wants to join me?

I myself am not here to become an analyst, to follow the standard path. I recognise that when I look back, others may say oh yes you did, that was exactly the standard path. That may be so. But today, with my eyes in this body, I see as I see, and I have deep sympathy for all the people coming to human design with doubts, with tears, with their own gardens and gravestones.

Maybe I am a little tricky. Maybe I say, let us catalogue human experiences and I will write a book based on facts rather than ideas, and we can all have more health wealth and happiness. And maybe you read the book, and there is only one conclusion at the end. Live your design.

That is exactly what Ra is doing. Come to this seminar and that, yes he needs to feed his family, and ultimately, if you can grasp Live Your Design right now, it would be much cheaper for you.

I have a tendency in my shadow (or not-self) to avoid facts and practicality. It is not easy for me to consider walking on coals. As it happens, I have good health, in most ways, more than adequate wealth, and many times of pure bliss. I see idiots who teach my children hatred and stupidity and I have to send them to school, there is not much alternative. I see my mother, unhappy through years of confusion and well meaning, and I think of my father and my first wife, both of whom died painful and untimely deaths because of the hypocrisy in society. I need to dance away from what could be bitterness. I want to soak in the sunshine of hope. So please do not discourage ordinary people who have no idea what the hell you are on about with "strategy". Ask yourself, Gennaro, would you be inclined to post after the boss has said, ah, Confucious he say, forrow yor stlatagy! Would you be happy to post if you thought, oh, some senior priest will just slap me down with that line.

I have no doubt, well gate 63, a containable amount of doubt, about the conclusion of the book, if I do write it. It will not need a conclusion, it will breathe from every page. Yes, it will almost certainly say in a thousand different ways, follow your strategy, this is what happened to Joe and Jack and Jill and so on. This is the theory. This is empirical observation. Statistically, following your design brings health wealth and joy. Almost certainly. But I will get there on my path, and it is not because I blindly accept the dogma. I am well placed to say, bring it on, let's fight out this theory using facts. Yes I want to find some crack in the paintwork. Some personal choice, we all do. And I am prepared to nail my charter to the noticeboard, strategy or not, it's mechanics anyway, anybody out there, you can RESPOND to this, your are INVITED to write something.

I do know that until I myself create my own fortune, as a homework excercise, using the third line strategies of my gates and the gravity of my own centres, I would not be qualified to write such a book.

Again I appeal for anecdotes. Together we can establish, scientifically, what overcomes suffering in this world. Empirically, by testament after testament.

I also want to hear from people who hate human design, they are the people with the passion to really attempt to disprove it, and if it is true, they will form the vanguard of a new paradigm. Sounds good eh? Parrot Time. The Van Guard of A New Parrot Time.

Sorry. There comes a point where words are so clumsy.

Please, everyone, dare to post personal trials and errors, and this forum has a purpose. This forum could be for individuals to express their individuality, and for a reference of real human experience.

Or it could be a place where whatever you try, there is always the "aha - he's not-self, she's not-self, I'm more self than you are..."

The only way to be self is to be unique.

for digital witchdoctor

I am happy to read you. It feels good to me.
I go around and feel always a little out-of-place when living my design. Which by now is OK, too.
Let me explain:
As you may have read somewhere, I've got my entire head down to my throat defined, with the exception of half-a-channel. So, living my desig means:
I always get doubts.
I always get questions.
I always look at anything from many perspectives.
I tend to take people's affirmations using their own logic and let them look at their own statements "from the dark matter"'s perspective. For me it is called exploring.
I behave like this out of a real-real need for research. My head is hungry. Period!
(As result: I either get bombarded with dogma or I get personally attacked. Wait! those with defined egos try using "the brilliance" of my mind for their own "show-off".)
Now I know must people can't follow my mind so, their reaction makes sense. By-the-way I'm not complaining. Just describing

But it is also true that in order for me to correctly live my design I should be invited before speaking my mind and technically many times I do not wait-to-be-invited to speak, so I do not always live my design.

Please, have a look at this perspective: during my "non-self" interactions, when I do not wait to be invited before talking I find out many-many cracks and black holes in theories and general concepts. This is what my mind needs to find. So, I do get "my fix" through those mental defined channels even when socially I may be suffering.
It is from this perspective that I believe the following:
Living your desing is not an absolute concept. For instance: If I am true to my mental nature, I would be engaging in my normal mental activities and I would allow that energy to get out of my throat avoiding unnecessary pressure and stress up there: this energy from my mind wants out! Period!
But then of course, nobody cares and nobody gives value to my thoughts. Bad for the body, stress for the body.
What is good for my mind seems to be not good for my body, though it is not so simple since the pinneal gland, the pituitary, the hypothalamus are part of the body.
To my understanding this is a contradiction. And that's so OK because we live in duality and out of the tension created in the duality, a new more comprehensive reality is born...This is evolution.
This makes sense to me because of what I feel by living and experimenting with my design (which means experimenting this contradiction) and because it makes sense withing the mental concept of duality.

So, living my design is to me not such a linear reality. The fact that I do not wait-to-be-invited in order to speak my mind does not appear to me as my "non-self" and I do not believe it to be either.

I believe we need to live through and in the tension of our contradictions. It is out of this tension that mutation and evolution comes to manifestation.
So, to me the simplicity of "just live your desing" and your strategy does not cut the mustard.
I believe that avoiding the tension and "the pain" of the contradiction goes against mutation and evolution.

This however is not denying the value and the clarification that HD has brought into my life: since now I know how this contradiction is built in me and I know where the stress comes to my body or to my mind (as a way to express it simpply).
So, thanks so much for HD becuase I now know how to better balance my needs through the contradictions of my genetics and choose either social stress for the sake of understanding or the other way around.

I find that because I know Hd I now do not care so much when people do not recognise what I say...It depends on what mood I am: If I am in a research-like mood, do not care about people's reaction. If I am in a melancholic mood, I then wait to be invited, since I am then really sensitive.

Let me write it again: I am so grateful for HD knowledge. One thing that really put me at rest was knowing my profile. It is very sweet to live through my heremit nature without suspecting myself to be a "freak".
I do love this knowledge, what I find more limited as always is people's attitude to knowledge. I believe it is because of the money factor. AFter all if they do not limit those with the right "to know" the money flow can not be easy controlled.
You see, this thread started with the relationship between money and HD.
You got my contribution to it!

Hi,
For me it depends from where you are asking the question. If you are asking it as somebody who is not living their design then the answer is easy: live your design. They may not get rich but they will be too busy having fun to care.

If you are asking it from the point of view of somebody who is living their design, then that is a diferent thing. Your life is correct and somehow your strategy led you to the point one day where you asked how to make more money. Then my answer would be: KEEP living your strategy. You may not make money but at least you'll get what you deserve.

Now, for the sake of the collective mental process, lets just say we wanted to know how to use Design to make money. I think the best way is to learn how to teach it to others. There are under 50 design teachers in the world and about 6 billion people who have never heard of design. That's a lot of students. Or get a license from Jovian for exclusive publishing rights in a country. I think Liberia is still available. Or hire a whole lot of people with third lines in their charts and pay them to make money for you. They will screw up once in a while but in the long run I think they'll make you rich.
