The IHDS PHS Certification Year 3: PHS Practicioner
The Primary Health System (PHS) is a revolutionary approach to well being. PHS was
first introduced by Ra Uru Hu in April 2003. As empowering as Human Design is for
the Personality Passenger, PHS is the awakening key for the Design Vehicle.
PHS is the result of years of ground laying work in the sub-structure of the Line. The
PHS Practitioner Program Year Two focuses on the 216 Chains that define our
possible paths of differentiation and well being.
The PHS Primary Health System Analyst program is open to any student who has
completed PHS Analyst Year One program.
The IHDS is the official Human Design and Global Incarnation Index certifying and
licensing authority. The IHDS offers programs leading to official certification in both
teaching and practice.
The PHS Primary Health System Practitioner is such a credit program. To complete
this program for certification, students are required to complete the entire program
of three years.
This book is a transcript of the third year, first semester originally taught in Fall of
2007.

Lesson One
Practitioner Projects & an Introduction to Variables
Well here we are. I must say I am unusually excited about the prospect of going
through both this program and the following psychology program at this level. I'd
like to make a comment to all of you of the time and the investment that you have
made and the dedication that you've brought to this program. I have mentioned it
before; I mentioned it on the radio not too long ago that you really are best
educated relative to any program that's ever been offered in Human Design. It is
something that for me in an odd selfish sort of way provides me with one of the most
exciting opportunities I have as a teacher of this knowledge is to take the knowledge
to another level, to another level of perception. None of that would have been
possible without the serendipity of many things—this kind of technology, the
involvement of students in a long-term process in which quite frankly none of us
really knew where we were going. All of this is very exciting. And the knowledge
even at its basic level relative to PHS is already quite remarkable. But, you will have
a taste of that today because I will show you a whole new way of seeing in that
sense.

1
Testing
But before I do that I have to get to the practicals of this. I consider these programs
to be degree programs that those people who go through this process represent
Human Design at its deepest level, and it is not something as I have done so
throughout my career, to test people, to simply allow them to go to programs with
the assumption that over time that all that will crystallize for them. It has both its
positives and its negatives.
But it was clear for me from the beginning of the launching of this program that
ultimately to complete this program was something that I would have to test both for
myself and for the candidates that are involved. I don't want to have to look over
my shoulder and wonder about how this knowledge is being applied. It is very
profound. And as you will see we’re entering into an area where nobody else has
access to this kind of way or the kinds of ways I’m going to look at a design.
This is a very important role, this role of healing the body. It is the ultimate role for
me, because in essence, it is life itself. Yes, yes there all the dilemmas of the mind,
but at least when the body is correct that the life inherently is a life that is easier,
that is more productive, that provides the signature of each type with a taste of what
their process is really about. So, healing the body is an extraordinary thing.
We've already seen in our process together that everything about the nature of
healing the body is something that is so deeply tied to food. We are a bio-form, we
need to eat. And the way in which we process food is uniquely revealed in PHS.
That is, we have a differentiated digestive system, that we have a differentiated
evolutionary digestive system that determines the right way for each and every one
of us, the correct way for each and every one of us to take sustenance into our body
and to know not simply that we are doing something that is fundamentally healthy
for our form, but again to understand the by-products of receiving precisely the
nutrition that one needs.
That means that one is enhancing the fundamental potential that is there both in the
way in which the brain system operates and all of the other systems that are
connected to it. In other words, the enhancement of the basic functioning of the
form and being able to enhance it to that point in which it can give out its potential,
particularly its cognitive potential. That is, the development of the correct
highlighting of sensory potential in terms of the way in which the brain operates. All
of this is a by-product of PHS.
But it leads to more, in that sense. This program this year, and you’ll get a taste of
that in the next two weeks, is a holistic program. Though we are going to focus 80%
of the time on the design aspect, we are also going to work with a holistic being
itself, because after all, this is what we have to deal with each of us in working with
others through the knowledge that we gain here.
But before I can get into the beginning of this journey which we will have this
semester, a journey to really begin to see differently, I have to talk about the
criteria, in that sense, for the year. As I mentioned in the open house that I held in

2
LESSON ONE: Practitioner Projects & an Intro to Variables
August, that along with Asi Farran, our programmer, we’re developing an online
testing mechanism. That is a form, basically, that you can enter into in a sense and
answer questions and respond to various kinds of questions in different ways, and so
forth and so on. This is actually going to be part of the ongoing testing program in
this.
It's an interesting thing because it's something that I've been aware of throughout
my entire teaching career, I'm really a by-product of the 60s and the revolution in
the 60s brought a lot of distortion with it. One of the main distortions was a
movement towards removing testing from the school system in the sense that
psychologically it's difficult for people and some people can handle it and some
people can't. Of course all of these things are true. But the fact is that people are
going to trust you with their body and you’re trained by this organization. It's very
important that we know that the advice that is being given by somebody who is a
practitioner is advice that's rooted in not simply that they have had an education, but
they have been tested in the education. Again, it's just an obvious, but it's
something that's important.
At the same time, I don't want you to take it as a threat, because that would be the
worst thing. Some of you are left, some of you are right, some of you have a natural
way of being able to confront this, others will be very nervous about it, the very
design factors of who you are. But again, this is obviously where your geometry has
brought you. My responsibility as a teacher is to be able to prepare you properly. It
is clear to me that all of you are well trained. I don't doubt that for a moment. But I
want you to understand that for me this whole experience this year and it's a very
different thing for me to be involved with as a teacher that the whole experience for
me this year is really about making sure that the standards that I envisioned for this
program are standards that are met.
The Practitioner Candidate Presentation
Okay, so that preamble aside, the practitioner candidate presentation, this is

basically half of your assessed work for the entire year. So this is a project that
begins in essence now and is intended to be completed in June. Remember many
things about all of this. You cannot fail out of this program. You can not be
certified. You can choose not to because you're not prepared or you feel you're not
able to do it now, whatever the case may be I want you to understand that. But at
the same time for certification, this is the main project for the year.
This project can be in any of the following mediums. In other words, it can be an
audio with PowerPoint. And again as we move along, I will go into discussions over
the next couple of weeks, things that I’ll do before class, about the questions you
might have. In other words, as you will see you have until the end of October to
decide on what in fact your particular project is going to be. So audio with
PowerPoint and again, how much time and so forth and so on, these are questions
that we can deal with as we move along. I don't want to turn this today into
anything other than introducing you to this information. It can be written with

3
illustrations or it could be multimedia or film. In other words, basically, you can use
any medium that is translatable to the Internet, whatever it may be.
The style is educational, and it's directed at novice level. This is something that's
very important. That is, for me it's a combination of two things. You're always
going to be dealing with the novice. As a practitioner, the people that ideally you are
to deal with are those that have had a reading that have had a living design guide,
have entered into their experiment. And so, your ability to translate the very
profound information that we can offer, that ability to be able to reduce it in the
sense that you can make it accessible to somebody, this is something that’s very
important.
So, it is an educational style, whatever your presentation may be, it is educational in

its nature, and it is directed towards somebody who, given my example, somebody
who is at the very beginning of being involved in Human Design. Any pertinent
subject is actually the point here. Any pertinent subject matter can be selected, but
it must be approved and must be approved by me. We'll talk about this as we move
into October. As I said you have until the end of October to decide. You can e-mail
me back and forth with ideas that you have, ideas that you’re not necessarily certain
of. I'm here in that sense to be your tutor. So I will give you whatever assistance I
can in answering your questions or your queries.
However it's any pertinent subject. So in essence, it opens up the entire field of
what we have been working with over the last several years and what you're going
to be working with particularly in this semester. And you can take it from any
aspect. So, for example you could focus on a case study, you can focus on the
research into certain kinds of cognition or certain kinds of eating, looking at one of
the 12 variations for example of the way in which the dietary regimen operates. In
other words, there are all kinds of possibilities. I could've given you a list, obviously.
I really don't want to do that, I don’t want to interfere with your creative process.
One of the things that is very important for me is that this is something to enjoy
doing, and I mean that. It is a really good solid way to research a level of the
knowledge. It is good for you in terms of your ability to translate that and to be able
to put it out in a way that is comfortable for you to put it out. And one the things
that I’ll note again, because I mentioned this in the open house, in terms of
language, if you are not comfortable doing this in English, please do not try. It is
fine with me that you do it in whatever the language is that you're comfortable with
and we will find a way for me to be able to have somebody that I trust go through
the material. We'll find a way to be able to work with it so that we can be able to
assess its value, but don't let things get in the way of this being a pleasure for you to
do. You can’t make it one, you understand what I'm saying, but the thing is not to
treat this as homework, but to treat it as a piece of professional work.
One of the things that we’re going to need and one of the things that you're going to
be really impressed with when you finally see this program and you're about to see
aspects of this program now is that it is going to have an interactive capacity. You're
going to be able to communicate out of this program to other of PHS practitioners,

4
you're going to be able to share a common kind of Wikipedia environment where

data can be inputted, research can be inputted.
So, it's very important to see that the growth of the intellectual resources of this
knowledge is something that is being moved onto your shoulders and as any Ph.D.
candidate in that sense looks to be published, I am looking in that sense to publish
this material. That's why it’s important that it's directed at the novice level, that it's
important that really is something that adds to the knowledge base. Not about
paraphrasing me or whatever. Please understand; it's about your creative approach
to an aspect of this knowledge, whenever that may be.
The topic selection must be submitted by the end of October. And I assume that I
will communicate with all of you before then and will have a sense of what direction
you're going to take. The presentations are to be submitted at the beginning of
June. That is about five weeks into the third semester. So that I have both the
opportunity to be able to assess them obviously before the year comes to an end.
But also the opportunity for all of us to be open to enjoy and share the work that
everybody has done over the year.
Successful candidates will have their presentations published in the PHS library,
which is to be launched in September 2008. This is all part of advancing the Human
Design, the PHS clinic and the virtual clinic in expanding what is available at that
clinic in terms of the general population. So this is a basic infrastructure of the setup
basically for these candidate presentations. I leave that with you to digest. Please
feel free that when we come back next week that if you have questions about any of
this to make sure that you do that in the question time before the class begins so
that I can help you out. If you would like to e-mail me and discuss any of these
aspects, please feel free to do so. Don't be shy. If you're concerned about this or
that or you're not quite clear about what direction to take and you feel that I can be
helpful to you then please communicate with me.
Maia Mechanics Advanced Imaging
Okay, I want to get on to the business at hand. I will let you look at that for a
moment. [image 1 below] We’ve done something together, and what we have done
together is that we have built an information platform that allows for the emergence
of new tools. What you're looking at is Maia Mechanics Advanced Imaging [image 2
below]. This is a program that is only ever going to be available to graduates of this.
Not simply graduates, by the way, you will all be able to have this particular
program. But it's only available obviously to third-year students of this program and
of Rave Psychology.
What we're looking at is an entirely new kind of layout. Oh yes, it's the same
bodygraph; by the way, that's me. But you can see that there are fundamental
changes that are here in the way in which the information is laid out. What you're
looking at is what I call a holistic graph. In other words, here is the first bodygraph
presentation; it is the first new bodygraph presentation in 20 years. This

5
presentation has only been able to become possible because of the depth of work
that has been done in understanding the substructure of the line. Everything about
this new configuration in that sense is rooted in the fact that you, as a student base,
are the first students that have ever been educated in any kind of detail into the
substructure and into the way in which the chains operate. And obviously within the
context of our particular facet of that, that is, the left side, the PHS side, that in
working with that of course we're dealing with the relationship between the tone and
the color and the way in that which it influences our own digestive program.
Image 1
Image 2

6
But this is something else, and it’s something else because of this [image 2, red
box]. And the first thing to recognize is that we are entering into a new holistic tool
and that is a holistic tool that emerges out of the way in which fixating takes place.
Now, what you're looking at in this map is that you can see that here, this particular
design Sun/Earth, this is a left fixing. It’s just pointed in the left direction. The
Nodes are left fixed. The personality Sun/Earth is left fixed. The personality Nodes
are right fixed; just these four elements.
The Magic Box: The Language of Variables
When we think about these four elements let's go back over, here’s me [below red
box]. You have a magic box. You have a magic box, this 4x4. And if you look
carefully at this magic box and you will because it is part of your download, you will
find all kinds of extraordinary things in here. The far left is over here, all left [green
arrow]. And the far right is all over here [purple arrow]. We have opposites, like me
over here, opposite over here [blue box]. There are all kinds of patterns in here
because it is in fact a magic box and it's a box of variables.
It is our new language, the language of variables, 16 of them. Oh, the wonder of
differentiation. What this knowledge really is, how finite, how minute, how deep,
how almost endless it seems the ability to be able to differentiate. And here we have
something quite extraordinary, because think of what this means to our
understanding of type. When you look at this bodygraph, and you look at this
bodygraph the way it was constructed before with the two sets of data running down
either end, you could not see this. You could not see these variables. Oh, yes, I
guess after you have studied you can begin to look it up. But until you begin to see
it for what it is only then do you begin to see that this is a holistic way to subdivide
type, because for every type, there are 16 variables, and these variables are very
distinct from each other.

7
Now, the reason that this works holistically is that it isn't connected to the way in
which we have been studying. The way in which we have been studying is that we
have been looking at the Cross of Life configuration and looking at the phenomena
of, for example, this being left/left; or if you were on the psychology side looking at
the phenomena again of Sun/Earth and Nodes and looking this way at the
connection. What does it mean to have these variations together? But this is
something else.
The Independent and Dependent Variables
We have two kinds of variables. This is called the independent variable. And above
[below] it is the dependent variable; independent and dependent. The dependent
variable is dependent on the independent variable. And the independent variable is
rooted in the Nodes. One of the real wonders is the way in which it is the Nodes
that in fact are the key in the way in which the continuity of the whole functions in
the Nodes, because they have a special relationship to either side. And I'll get into
that as I go along because as I said in this is a whole new level of seeing and there is
a lot for me to explain.
Look at the configuration to begin with. You'll notice first of all there is separation.
In other words, we have three blocks of information. And that the first block of
information that we are looking at, we are looking at the Sun and the Earth. So here
we have the glyphs of the Sun and the Earth. And when you're looking at that you'll
see that in the hexagonal shape, that is the color [below green arrow]. And if you're
looking at the triangular shape [below purple arrow], this is the tone. But you'll also
notice something else that both the Sun and the Earth, that the base is listed [below
blue arrows]. And the base is in this little box that is here within the panel of either
the Sun or the Earth or the Nodes for that matter.

8
Dependent Variable
Independent Variable
You'll also notice, though I'm not going to get into it at this point and you can see it
more clearly if you look over here perhaps, you can see that the bases are shaded.
Now remember that base is about orientation. And these orientation markers are
very important. When you see them entirely colored in, it is a central base. And
you’ll notice that central bases are different from the design to the personality side.
All of this is deeply exciting information that leads to our ability to understand so
many things and I don't mean to tease you, but I cannot get into these things other
than in the order they're in, but I want to give you a sense of how much information
is present here.
So we see that for the Sun/Earth and for the Nodes we see that the color and the
tone and the base are illustrated. When we get to the lower block, the lower block is
very interesting and I leave it to you to ponder their relationship. And again it is its
own magic box and it's really something to ponder the various relationships that are
here in this box. But also to notice two things; the first thing is the uniqueness of
the Moon.
Now, I do recommend and it's not too late, but I do recommend that the Lunar and
Planetary Color analysis, which I begin I think on Friday, all of this is based on
understanding this lower configuration, this lower box of the nine, well, the eight
planets, well not even—poor Pluto, the one dwarf, the seven planets and the Moon.

9
Because what you'll notice here is that you get the gate, for example the Moon that
is indicated here, the [design] 41st gate, the 3rd line, the 6th color.
The Transference and Resonance Blocks
And one of the things you'll notice when you finally get around to actually being able
to have this program is that through in the database you can see the tone and the
base for every object, the fact is the only function they actually have is marking
position, but the color has significance. And the color has significance because this
block below, and again I'm just giving you a general overview today, this block
below has a special relationship to the Sun/Earth. And if I could describe the
Sun/Earth block I would describe this as the transference block. And if I were to
look at this block down here I would call this the resonance block.
What that really means is that where color is always subject to transference, that is,
the essential of the way the crystals operate, that when you're dealing with the
planetary activations that their color is simply a matter of resonance to a frequency.
So here in the illustration the color is given and obviously I'm going to be going
through a detailed description of what these values mean relative to these objects.
So there is an additional level of information that is here, and a level of information
that is very interesting in terms of the kinds of things that these various aspects are
going to resonate to and what that means for the physical body as a whole. So
there's a new level of the interpretive information this here.
The Uniqueness of the Moon
Again, as I mentioned the uniqueness of the Moon; the subject came up before class
in a discussion about twins. Even twins that are almost brought out at the same
time that because of the speed of the movement of the Moon and going down to the
base level, that the Moon is the indicator of final whatever to the uniqueness of any
kind of imprint. And so the Moon itself has a special value.
The other thing is that when you think about the two terms for color, that is, in PHS
we referred to color as determination and in Rave Psychology is motivation. And the
Moon is about drive. In that sense the Moon embodies both of the principles of the
design and personality color. The Moon is a very, very important force in marking
out uniqueness. So the way in which the Moon can be interpreted both for the
physical point of view or the psychological point of view is something that is
enhanced through this process.
Four Different Subtypes
But the key to a new holistic view is here, these variables. This is going to divide
humanity first and foremost into four different subtypes. So let's say they were

10
talking about Generators. Now remember that the first thing to understand about
variables is the two types of variables. And remember this is for Holistic Analysis.
So we can't just use the design side, we can't just use the personality side. We need
to bridge. And what we get here is the independent variable.
So if we go back here, let's take the example that we have here. Here are the Nodes
underneath, in other words, this is the Sun/Earth configuration above, and here are
the Nodes below, the same as you saw in the illustration. And you can see here that
the independent variable is going to be focused/observed. And if you look down here
you'll see another focused/observed. And if you look over here you'll see another
focused/observed. And if you look over here you'll see the fourth one.
In other words, there is a subgroup here. We have 16, again we’re dealing with a
magic box so you can expect all the usual suspects to show up in terms of numbers,
and you look here and what you have here is the independent variable of
focused/observed.
Now, think about how
incredible this is.
And I don’t want to
get into now what
the values mean.
We've gone through
looking at what the
left means and the
right means.
Obviously, you need
the holistic classes to
really be able to have
a grasp of what both
sides mean, in that
sense.
But what's important to look at here is to think about all four of these are a
Generator. But they are a subgroup of Generator, let’s say it’s a pure Generator, it's
a subgroup. They are the focused/observed subgroup. Now, of course, within that
subgroup are four very different brain minds, the dependent variable. Now
remember that the dependent variable cannot operate correctly unless the
independent variable is operating correctly. That's what independent and dependent
is all about. Everything in that sense is about the Nodes.
In other words, when you're looking at the magnetic monopole, and we know that
it's the magnetic monopole that holds us together in this illusion of separateness,
and that we know that the magnetic monopole is also about our direction and we
know that this is a fundamental aspect of the Nodes themselves, that to understand
through the independent variable, that is, through the alignment of the Nodes
everything else becomes possible. Now, I’ll go into details obviously, because we're
going to have to look at each of these 16 variables and to begin to grasp them as a
deeply, deeply powerful overview.

11
Think about just some little things that we know about the differences between the
right mind and the left mind. Just think about what we see here in this subgroup,
the focused/observed. We have the strategic/active that are focused/observed.
These are all left. This is a complete left being. And we also know that the
focused/observed, because it's rooted in the observed, we also know that where
these people like to be in terms of place, what are the right kinds of places for them,
where are the right kinds of places to enter into in certain ways, what are the right
things to be focused on in those places because they're in the right place to be able
to see. We have a subgroup.
A Map
These are Generators that if they're correct are going to be in similar environments.
But their brain-mind system is going to be different. No longer are we on the
surface. You know, I like to think of this as a kind of magnetic resonance kind of
work, the real x-ray, the deep, deep insight into the being as a whole. And this is
what this database offers. But to begin to see that once you recognize the variable
is the moment that you bring a whole new nuance to your understanding of that
being, how they operate holistically, not just about their body and not just about
their brain but about their mind, about their vision, about the way they see, where
they’re intended to see and more than that who they connect to. This is a map.
I have been having the most extraordinary fun and I would like you to do the same
thing. It’s a little easier for me because I have the program, but still it's not that
difficult to do that. I took this map and I began with my family and I began to lay
out in this grid just the names of who is where. Wow is that ever fascinating. It is
so interesting. I did that with a group of famous people just to see it. Next week I'll
do that in the class. I took a bunch of people that I had in my famous rave category
box and just laid them out there. And what I did was I took only Generators as an
example just to see the nuances that emerge. And of course we know that this is
not just simply a new holistic overview, it comes with a tremendous amount of
knowledge underneath. But it's also giving us an insight into a new understanding of
what it is to be us and the forces that are at work. And the magic is all here,
because it's the variable that opens up this level of understanding, a new level, in
that sense, of understanding.
It really is very profound. I haven't looked at my own chart, in a sense, in a very

long time. I've got a copy of the printout from the new program. I’ve been looking
at it on and off for the last month, and I'm startled by how much deeper the
perception is now. It’s not automatic yet. I mean, it isn't. It's not like the feeling
you get when you look at somebody's design and you see their type and you see
that they are this or that, whatever the case may be. And after you've had enough
experience there is this sense of it, and the sense of what makes it different from
something else.
You don't know this because you've never had a chance to see it. Now you’re
actually going to get a chance to see something nobody else has ever seen. You're

12
getting to see the real nuance that is there in the construct. And again, the beauty
of what this knowledge is. This is the science of differentiation. This is about being
able to see the unique being and for us to recognize that we’re here to be of service
to that unique being. There is so much information that is there.
Fixing
And it goes back to something that we have learned in PHS, something that is very
profound about PHS. And of course it goes back to the surface, that is, it goes back
to Strategy and Authority. The moment that you're operating according to Strategy
and Authority we know that there is a relationship that exists on the design side
between tone and color that is very different from the relationship on the personality
side. We know that in the relationship between tone and color at the design side
that fixing is something that takes place. And this fixing takes place is very, very
significant, after all.
Now this is something that has never been knowledge that is generally understood or
grasped. It just isn't. And the moment that we take our understanding of what that
is, the moment that we realize that the moment that you're operating according to
Strategy and Authority is the moment that your physical system begins to operate
correctly. And it is the moment that the potential for you to be able to be guided,
after all it is all about who is going to drive. If the monopole is going to drive and the
monopole has a unique relationship with the design crystal, which means it has a
unique relationship with the design Sun/Earth and the Nodes, has a unique
relationship to it, that the moment that correctness is taking place there we begin to
align correctly because we are being driven correctly by the monopole.
And what does this lead to? The monopole brings together this illusion most deeply
through the functioning of the Nodes. What the design Nodes establishes in an
environment is the view that the personality Nodes will have. It’s the view. And
what that means is that there is a unique relationship, a crossover relationship
between design Nodes and personality Nodes, which is, in this context, new holistic
knowledge. Then all that remains is the possibility that the personality can be
aligned. Everything is about the body getting us in the right place. If the body gets
us in the right place the independent variable is established. And that means that
three quarters of the process is aligned. However it does not mean that this is
connected to it.
A Fractal Herding Phenomenon
It’s why it's so important for us to understand what it means to serve the vehicle,
how significant it is. But it also leads to something very, very profound. These four
subgroups that I've shown you, these four subgroups of independent variables, that
to be able to see that we have, in essence, four different ways in which we are
intended to navigate in the world. Some of us may be deep sea divers, others may
be valley roamers, whatever it may be, but this is birds-of-a-feather kind of

13
business. In other words, there is actually a fractal herding phenomenon. It’s quite
something to grasp, to begin to see that we’re intended to meet only those beings
who are a part of our independent variable world. They are the ones that we are
intended to have consistent contact with.
Now, of course again, we live in a not-self world and any possibility of trying to
imagine this just leads to science fiction, because we're talking about the way in
which the vast movement of the program drags everything along and here we are
doing our best to confront that. But still to grasp that the moment you begin to
examine this box, this truly magical box—and by the way the variables are simply
denoted by their initials. There is no name for each of these 16 variables. They are
in essence a formula.
And in looking at this formula one of the most important things you can do until we
meet next week is to begin to study this map, to begin to break it down into its four
subgroups, to begin to measure people in your life in terms of placing them within
the mapping. You’re going to begin to see specific relationships. You going to see
relationships that you never saw before, and yet at the same time had a sense of.
It was hilarious for me to see that the complete variable, both the independent and
dependent variable of my partner of 25 years turns out to be exactly the same as my
mother. If you look at any of the other ways of looking at their charts to try to see
how they have some kind of similarity to each other you'd really have a problem. I
never saw it. As a matter of fact, I was really quite pleased with the idea that I
never saw that. It was an incredible shock to see that. One of the real exciting
things for you to do is just to explore this the way I am, because you’re not many
steps behind me in this journey, to begin to explore this and to look at it and to
begin to look at the wonder of it. You’ll begin to notice—do a map for family, do a
map for friends. Look at the way in which it lays out. It is a fantastic thing to see.
A Cognitive Map
And of course this is the beginning of grasping a new understanding, a holistic

understanding that doesn't come simply with the label. That is, it’s just not saying
this is a subgroup of type, it comes with all the information that is rooted in
cognition, because in fact, what you're looking at is, in essence, a cognitive map, a
map of the way in which cognition is lived out, and regardless of what your type is.
It is one of those things to see about your relationship with people who are different
types than you. Do you have the same independent variable? Do you have the
same dependent variable, this active/strategic dependent variable that has the
unfocused/observed beneath it. Here's an active/strategic over here. But of course,
where they're going to be and the way they're going to see is very different. But
there is continuity in the dependent variable. There are many, many, many, many
relationships to explore and in a whole new way.

14
The Potential for Perfection
One of the beauties of what we have been able to glean so far, and particularly from
the perspective of PHS, is that we see that our bodies are potentially designed to be
perfected. No guarantees. After all, we have many receptors so that we are
seduced by conditioning. But there is this potential for perfection and perfection only
meaning the true expression of one's difference, one’s uniqueness. And we see that
in terms of being able to live uniqueness that there are certain basic criteria. One is
that you operate out of the intelligence of the form, that it is form intelligence that
guides you, whatever that authority happens to be.
The other thing, the deeper level, is the recognition that simply following the
intelligence of the form doesn't make up for years and years and years of
conditioning. Nor does it give the greatest possible advantage to the manifestation
or the realization of that uniqueness. It is what PHS dietary regimen is about. And
it's more than simply about food; it is about a way of life. It is a way of life that
evolves, a unique way of life; because eating so much demarks the way the life is
structured. And these two things, this deep respect for the intelligence of the vehicle
and at the same time a respect that allows you to involve yourself in nurturing your
vehicle precisely the way it's intended to be nurtured. This is the best that you can
do.
It sets up the vehicle to be positioned correctly. And I say position, because as you'll
see in our work over these 11 weeks in this development of your holistic analytical
skills I'm going to teach you how to use base information because it is so important
to understand our position, our orientation. And through that we get the holistic
perspective. The right orientation for the correct cognition expressed through the
proper determination.
This is the mechanical Holy Grail. Some of you that remember chemistry will notice
a kind of table of element feeling to this. There is so much pure, logical data that is
here. And the gift, the way to approach it, you cannot do what I did in the early
years of Design, what I've been doing with you for two years, which is teaching you
all the detail. But knowing all the detail doesn't mean that you have a holistic
perspective. I assumed that everybody would notice type; nobody did, so I had let
them know what it was. It was so obvious for me after doing 50 charts that there
was only four different kinds. But anyway, there is a need for the holistic tool. And
of course a holistic tool opens up all the possibilities, because it allows you to orient
your vision in such a way that you can really see what's there.
This is what the variable is to this level of the knowledge. It is your entry key. And
those of you of course on the design side truly understand that in order for the
independent variable to be established in this life that the design functions must be
correct—the strategy, the authority, and obviously ultimately the care for the
vehicle. I have a dilemma with PHS in terms of the dietary regimen and in terms of
applying this dietary regimen to everyone. Is clear to me that this is the most
deeply oriented knowledge for the young, for those who are emerging; it's a
fantastic thing for a new life. It is not an easy thing for any adult who has gone

15
through conditioning, particularly food conditioning, which is the deepest bio-

conditioning that you receive.
So, to enter into PHS is not something to dabble with as an adult. It's something
that has to be part and parcel of what is correct for you and it is your authority that
guides you towards really fulfilling what is your determination, but it is an important
attribute. It does not change the direction. It does not change the way in which you
move along in your track, but it opens up an enormous possibilities for the potentials
of awareness. That is, the development of a proper attunement of what is your
sensory potential in terms of the brain system itself.
A Shared Class with Rave Psychology Students
Over the next couple of weeks we're going to have a shared class with the Rave
Psychology students. Next week this shared class will be in this time on this day on
Tuesday and the following week to be hosted by the Rave Psychology class and it
would be in their class time. These times will be posted for you. We’re going to
spend two weeks together so that I can talk about both aspects at the same time.
Otherwise, I can’t teach you the holistic interpretation of the variables. And then we
will go back to working specifically from the design perspective in terms of where we
go with this information and how the way in which the information is laid out for us,
gives us a natural way of understanding the depth of the physical mechanics that we
can grasp.
We've had two years together, and I've never mentioned what Mercury is going to be
doing to the vehicle. In other words, this is a very, very important time for us to
take the holistic view to an entirely new level. As I said, I am deeply excited about
this program, both of these programs. I'm very excited about getting to this place
where we all earned getting here. I mean, there's many of you that are in this room
today who been with me for a very, very long time. And, it's been an incredible
process to be able to finally teach all of these various aspects of the substructure.
Now is the time to synthesize it. Now was the time to bring this all together into a
new level of holistic perspective that belongs to the best trained class that we have
in Design so that there are those that can work at a whole new level of analyses.
And again for the benefit of both body and mind this is what this tool is for. It is
never going to be available for common analysis. It is not something that is going to
be downloadable from the shop. This is something that is simply for graduates, for
people who were involved in this program. It is a very unique tool.
The other point of this is that as I said when the program is released, as you can see
the calculating part of the program is all done. And the basic information mat is
done. What's being done now is its interactivity; the fact that it's going to have a
common reference library for all of us to be able to take advantage of, the fact that
there is going to be interactivity between those people who actually have this
program. We have some very, very exciting things that we are introducing. So, if

16
all goes well, and we’re ahead of our schedule right now, at the beginning of the
second semester it should be ready.
Take a Look at this Map
But in the meantime, we have a great deal to investigate before you’re really going
to be able to enjoy working with this. It begins, as I said, and very important for all
of you, please this is the best time to take a look at this map and to play with it.
Please play with it. Look at all of the possibilities. Find the four groups; find the
groups that are independent variable groups, begin to match people that you know;
various groupings. I know that all of you have a nice collection of charts. You’re
obviously going to need the program to find out what the fixings are.
But the fact is that it really is worth the effort. It will begin to give you a taste of
what these things are. Again it's very important. Realize something, every type,
there are 16 true variations. The type gives you the basic mechanic of its Strategy
and Authority, but the variation tells you a lot of things. It tells you where it's
intended to be and to see what kind of brain it has, what kind of sense it operates
with, what kind of view it has, what kind of mind it has. Wow, that's a lot. It's really
something. And there's 16 variations of that the theme. Ain’t it sweet?
Anyway, it’s a pleasure to share it with you. And I look forward to next week. It'll
be fun to bring the two programs together and to begin this holistic journey. Again,
to all of you, you've made it possible, so we can enjoy this process together. All
right then, you take care; until next time, bye for now

Lesson Two
Holistic Analysis 1
Variables & Variable Mapping
I want to welcome all of you. I had a vision a number of years ago when I realized
that the JAM Player and its possibilities were going to be possible. I began to think
about the programs that I wanted to explore that interested me and at the same
time that I saw would be of value to the Design community. The bedrock of that
were three programs: BG5 Business Analysis and the PHS and the Rave Psychology
programs. BG5 is something that is very different. That is, Penta work is a unique
study, and very different in its application and in the value of its information.
The programs that I focused a great deal on conceptually were this combination of
these two sides of the coin. And the way I envisioned it was a kind of like a helix, in
a sense, being able to explore the strands and being able to explore the strands
separately. You know, one side going through the PHS program, on the other side
the Rave Psychology program. My goal in the end was to weave them together. And
here we are today in what will be the program within the program. This isn't either
PHS or Rave Psychology. It is called Holistic Analysis. During the course of this
year, over the three semesters, we will have 10 of these classes together.
It's an essential ingredient to be able to bring together all of the necessary

information to be able to provide a new level of analysis. The discussion earlier
about the new platform, what I think of as a variable graph that all of you now have,
this is your tool and it is the tool of the level of the knowledge that we’ve all reached
together. So, today I'm going to begin this process of introducing us in essence to
what is this intercourse in our programs together into the beginnings of Holistic
Analysis.
You’ve all by now seen or will see your MMAI graph. There is a great deal,
obviously, a great deal of information and new understanding in a sense, new
understanding in the sense of being able to have been a part of various programs
that provide the information, to be able to interpret the many, many levels that are
here in this illustration. But for me it begins here. This is really the key [boxed in
red below]. One of the things that fascinates me so much about this level of the
knowledge is that we enter into a new kind of characterization, if I can put it that
way.

19
Type Allows Us to See How a Decision should be Made
Think about it for a moment. Type—what does type do? Type allows us to see how a
decision should be made, to be very simple. That's what type allows. It allows us to
see how a decision can be made and how a decision should be made; that is, should
be made in the context of this is how you get to realize your uniqueness and all that
stuff, and on and on and on. But what we're looking at in the variable is that we're
looking at something quite different. We're looking at who, in a sense, makes the
decision. And when I say who, I mean it even more generically than that. What I
mean is the character.
I love to call the maya, the movie. And we are all characters in the movie. And we
have had a sense of that; that is, in the explorations of Profile and Incarnation Cross
looking at roles. We have a character in the movie and character comes with the
thematics of characteristics. If you can think about a playwright writing a play and
they populate that play with certain characters, they provide a guideline to ultimately
whoever will be the director. They provide a guideline of that character's
characteristics. And that characteristic is not one side or the other; it’s not
specifically just about their personality. It can be about their body type, all kinds of
things. It is a kind of slot, a kind of generic description for a certain type of
character.

20
LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1
When I first began to do my own investigation of variables, it was clear to me that

what was emerging are these 16 different kinds of characteristics, actually basically
four with their subgroups. So, what we’re looking at is not how you make the
decision, what we're looking at is the character that is going to be responsible, if I
can say it that way, responsible for making the decision. In other words, we have a
new archetype to look at.
Now, it’s only new in the sense that we can see it in the way in which it's always
been there but never revealed. That's the beauty of the microscope that we followed
going deep down into Alice's rabbit hole as we were exploring downward to the base
that by the time you begin to understand that whole relationship particularly the
tone and color relationship, you begin to see the emergence of this structuring
phenomena, and another way in which the program organizes us.
Layout of the New Platform
Before I go any further I want to make sure that the information field that is key to
all of us in the work that we do on either side of the line, that this information field
that is there in the new platform, that the layout of this is understood. So, let me
just basically go through this. Obviously we've got the design side over here and
we've got personality side over here. Again, this is taken from my chart in the
previous illustration. If we look at the design side to begin with, one of the things
you'll note is the construct. In other words, graphically speaking, that is, we have
studied tones within the triangular format graphically and color in this hexagonal
format, so they’re very distinguished by just the design of it. So, here we’re dealing
with the tone and here we are dealing with the color itself.
But when you get into the combination of the Sun/Earth, as an example, you see a
combination of things that are there. First of all, you get to see the actual gate and
the actual line that the object is in; in this case the Sun being in the 61.1. But the
other thing that you get to see is what the base is. Now, as I'll explain as I move
along, because there is a need to be able to express separate bases for North and
South Nodes; in both cases by the way, on this side and on this side. So graphically
speaking because the Sun/Earth’s orientation, this points to the shading that you see
around, that their orientation is the same. So, the illustration is always the same
between the Sun and the Earth in terms of their base number and their orientation.

21
That isn't true as I'll talk about in a moment in the way in which the Nodes operate
in terms of their bases.
Base Orientation
So, one of the things that I'm pointing to here just so that you see that, and again I
will as we move along in this Holistic Analysis program talk about base orientation
and the way in which that is significant. I will actually do it in greater detail in the
History of Geometry program, which is rooted in the understanding of base
orientation. But I will cover it here in Holistic Analysis. The orientation itself is very
important. Again, one of the keys in understanding the nature of being is to
recognize that within the concept of the maya, whatever that may mean, within that
construct we are moving. And this is simply the law of the totality.
So, movement becomes something that you have to bring into every single equation.
What the bases represents is an orientation. Not just an orientation, a specific
orientation, a positioning in that sense, because of the base itself. But also an
orientation of the way in which the base will operate relative to other beings. So this
information becomes something that is important and as we move along I will show
you how you can integrate that information into a better understanding both on the
design side and on the
personality side of the being.
So, we have within the

Sun/Earth box, we always
have the base present. So
rather than it being
schematically here at the
beginnings, sort of chained out, in that sense, because there is unusual base
orientation differentiation in the way in which the Nodes operate, graphically, we
simply put it in in this way. So there is this repetition. They're always going to be
the same; that is, the Sun/Earth, it's just there as a graphic aspect.
Left Orientation
The next thing you notice is the left orientation that here. It’s left because it
happens to be left; that is, I am three left and one right, there's my one right. That
left, obviously, is the relationship between the tone and color. And of course the
fixing that comes with that. There is the left that emerges. And this becomes one of
the essential ingredients. And of course it's interesting to note that it is the cognitive
information that is the foundation of establishing the characteristics of our character.
In other words, these general characteristics that emerge in the variable.

22
The Nodes
The other thing is that we're looking at two sets of information; that is, in terms of
the Sun/Earth. But this is as complex an illustration of the Cross of Life that we've
ever gotten to in Human Design. The next thing is to begin to look at, and I don't
want to put an accent on this tonight because it is very important today that I
introduce you to the basic concepts of variable. However, this is a subject that is
going to be very important and I think for many of you something that can be quite
enlightening, because it carries the secret to many things. And it is the relationship
of the Nodes at this level of the knowledge.
Again, you can see that in terms of the Nodes you have a similar configuration. That
is, you're getting to see the tone and the color of that. But the thing to keep in mind
here is that the Nodes operate differently according to their base orientation. And
it's very well illustrated in my chart, both on the design side and the personality side.
You'll notice something, if you can see that, you'll notice here and I'm pointing at
this [design north node] 3 that’s in the center of the box, you'll notice that in the
upper left-hand corner the corner
is shaded. Now, that is actually
the relative position of that 3. In
other words, if we were looking at
the way in which base is
graphically illustrated in this
particular illustration the 3 has the
central position.
Now that is actually true for the

way the whole personality side
operates, with one exception. And
of course that one exception is going to be the South Node of the personality. So,
let me sort of try to explain this again for you, that the North Node of the design has
a different base orientation than the three other aspects that make up that Cross of
Life. In other words, the Sun, the Earth, and the South Node, all three of these
share the same kind of orientation. And again, in my chart you can actually see that
rather easily because I happen to have the serendipity that all of those are 3s. As a
matter of fact, all four are 3s, but this is North Node of mine design-wise operates
very differently than these other three in terms of its orientation, a subject, I'm sure,
if you've never heard this before, that will be very fascinating to you, even if you
haven't, it is, I can tell you it's really fascinating.
Now, you can see in the way in which this is just labeled for you as a keynote, and
obviously this is part of your download so you’ll be able to really ponder this, that
what you're looking at here is that the design North Node has a personality base
orientation. In other words, the way in which the bases are oriented on the
personality side are different from the way the bases are oriented on the design side.
And again, if we look at, because this is a dualistic system obviously, if we go over
here to the personality and we go to that South Node, again you can see it in the

23
illustration, that is, the 5s are both there, but they actually have different
orientation. That is, the North Node in this case, the Sun and the Earth, has the
same orientation. This is the personality orientation. But, the South Node has the
same orientation as these guys over here. In other words, there is a crossover that
takes place.
Now, this is something that is fascinating when you begin to understand why my
whole approach to variables and why I am so excited about this level of the
knowledge is that through the Nodes, what we’re looking at is a special relationship
to the magnetic monopole. And it is this relationship to the magnetic monopole that
the way in which the magnetic monopole holds us together in the illusion of our
separateness, this is aided by this crossover of this base orienting information. And
again I will go through that at a deeper level as is appropriate as we move along.
But I want to give you something to think about because I'm sure that you will. It is
fascinating to think about.
Anyway, I don’t want to distract myself in all of this. What we end up with two sets
of the fixings. What we have been doing in the separate programs is the close of
last year we began to look at and began to integrate these two aspects. That is, the
internal and the external aspects; but, integrating the internal and external within
the context of the single strand, and that being done in both areas of the knowledge.
So, what we've come to now is that we’re coming to a totally different kind of focus.
We're going to follow the lead that is provided by the nodal shifting here, provide
that lead to allow us to have a different perspective.
In other words, rather than looking up and down in our strand we form bridges going
across. And these two bridges that are established become the framework for us.
But of course, they are different from each other. Below what we have is that we
have a variable, what is called a variable that is being established by the nodal
relationship. And above we have a variable that is being established by the
Sun/Earth relationships. And yet, the moment that we begin this process of Holistic
Analysis we have to
understand that what we're
here to analyze is not where
it came from and how it got
there, but we’re here to
understand what this is [red
circle], because this is the
whole story.
Independent and Dependent Variables
And the thing to understand about understanding what this is, is that it is not two
equals. There is an independent variable and there is a dependent variable, and
they are very, very different. First of all, what does independent actually mean?
What it means is that here. and here alone can proper functioning in the holistic
being be created. That's quite something to think about. This is what the

24
independent variable brings. If we think about it, and we look at first of all the
design side, what we get on the design side is that everything that the nodal
information brings is that it brings us our ability to be able to successfully deal with
the other in specific environments. That's basically what it brings. And it brings with
it that the fact that it can be directed correctly. So it takes the vehicle and it takes
the vehicle to the right places of interaction and also provides the vehicle for its
modus operandi in those interactions with the other; in other words, the way in
which physically they are ready to interact with the other.
On the other side, what we get to see is the view that establishes what the mind will
conceptualize. The independent variable has to be there first. This is not a chicken
and an egg story. The independent variable has to be there first. And there is only
one way to do so. We know that, this is basic Human Design—Strategy and
Authority. Strategy and
Authority aligns the
vehicle. And it aligns
the vehicle to correct
decision making, and
that decision making is
moment-by-moment
steering direction. And
the moment that one is
correct on the design side, in other words, the moment that, you know, the internal
which is the key, that is what turns on all the possibilities to be correct, that the
moment that that exists three aspects can be correct.
The thing that is so interesting about that is that three can be correct, even though
it's only this side [design] that does anything. You know, the mind still rattling along
and all of its stuff. But, this special relationship that you see here in this unique
nodal information and change in orientation that matches the other side, that this
brings whatever alignment is here; it adjusts the view. So, there is a very special
relationship here. And in order for the process to be complete the independent
variable has to be established. Only then is it possible to complete the process here
with the passenger and the personality consciousness.
So, what we're looking at is a new construct. And we're looking at it in ways that
will vary as you'll see. I have some delightful illustrations for you. So let's take a
look. This is what we began with our last time in each of the classes because I
basically did very similar material. Here is the magic box and I want to continue to
remind you that really that is what it is. I also want to encourage you that if you
want to identify a single box that you identify it by its lettering, that that's a formula,
you can just put a slash between them.

25
The Magic Box
It is very important for me that we see that this is a very technical insight. After all,
this is not part of what will ever be mundane Human Design analysis. There is a
very different purpose and task involved with this level of the knowledge. Again, I'm
going to teach you as many different ways as I can to be able to look at this grid and
to begin to master it. Again, we are in this journey together. You master it as I
master it. It's very important that we all develop a working regimen that includes
looking at things from this perspective.
Now obviously, I know that right now that is not easy for you to do and it will be
remedied at the beginning of the of the second semester. Just as well, in a sense,
because there is a lot of information both here in our holistic program as well as
when we return to our own programs. But I want you to begin to look at this as
your key to getting the background on someone. This is really the background. It's
like having a book and the title of the book is ‘Potential Characteristics’ and it gives
you 16 of them, because what are we looking at? We're looking at the brain system
and we’re looking at the mind. We're looking at the body and its movement. We're
looking at what the movement leads to as a perspective. Hey, we just described a
life.

26
The Archetypal Players: Focused-Observers
Remember that Strategy and Authority just tells you what kind of character needs to
make what kind of decision in what way, if you know what I mean. We have these
16 basic characters, the archetypal players. Let's not call them characters, let's call
them players. Let's give them a nice quaint old-fashioned wonderful theatrical
name. They’re players. And there are these 16 types. And of course, those players
can be played very differently as we'll see.
But there's something else, is that you cannot really begin with the 16. You can't.
After all, it's a magic box. And the place that you need to begin is you need to begin
to recognize the fours. Now, in this particular grouping and as we move along in this
program we’ll see that there's many kinds of groupings that we can do in this magic
box. But I want you to see that the focus here, pardon the pun in all that, is that
we’re looking at four different players who all have the same independent variable.
They're all focused/observers. They are a type, they are a character type, they’re
focused/observers. And we know that there is going to be many, many nuances that
are going to differentiate them from the others in that other place.
But, they have something in common. Not only do they have that in common,
because of course that becomes their holistic ingredient, it is the sum total of who
they are. But it brings them in alignment with others that they wouldn't recognize in
that alignment otherwise. As I said, one of the most wonderful things for me in
doing the mapping was to see the surprises, and there are surprises.
So, the first thing is to begin to look at these groupings through, first of all, the
independent variable. Remember that it is the independent variable that is the
bedrock of the process. Anyone operating according to their Strategy and Authority
can gain access to the value of or the results of whatever their characteristic
happens to be. That's what's actually happening to you when you're operating

27
correctly according to your design. That is, your independent variable is establishing
a better life for you and is opening up your eyes to things that you've never seen
before. Whether in the end your passenger can handle all that, that's the thing
that's left.
Focused-Observed
It is part of my discussion in this program at all levels, that it is always for us to see
that the dilemma in the end is always going to be the same character. The other
thing is that when we're looking at this and we understand that the independent
variable in all these cases is the same, again the joy of the magic box, the
dependent variable in each case is different. And again this wonderful way in which
the combinations turn. So here for example, we've got an active brain with the
strategic mind, a left/left. But you can see that the next one over here, even though
this is a focus/observed, so this is a focus/observed strategic/active mind. Do you
see this person yet, this focused/observed with that strategic/active mind, can you
smell them? Can you feel them, because they're a type and oh boy, do they exist.
And then you go over here and you have the focused/observer that has the
respective/active mind and they’re different, and they feel different. I know the
difference of being in a room with strategic minds and receptive minds and boy is
ever different.

28
And then over here the brain system changes, the whole way the body moves is
going to change. We're looking at the variations on a common theme. So, this is
one type of variable configuration, the focused/observer. So, what we're going to
see is that we’re going to have four categories of players. And the categories of
players are going to be based on
the independent variable. And
here we're meeting the
focused/observers. And we know
right away that to be a
focused/observer is a complexity.
There are many kinds of
focused/observers. And again
realize that this is not connected to
whether you’re this type or that
type. It isn't. It's a whole new
combination, in that sense,
bringing different forces together
and bringing them together into a
similar alignment.
Now, we take a jump. And of

course, we see that we have
continued with focused, but now
we have the observed. And oh
boy, are they different, are they
different in the way in which
they operate in the outside
world, the way in which they
integrate with others, the kinds
of environments that they like to
be with, be in, and the
advantages that that can bring.
They are very focused in their
receptivity, in their physical receptivity, but they are type. You have to begin to feel
them to recognize them. This is this new level of interpretation that rises out of all
of this, is that we're given here the holistic synthetic perspective necessary as a
framework to be able to apply all the detailed information that we have, because you
can see so simply in the construct that the variables are built on, specifically built on,
the detail substructure relationship.
And so what we get to see here in bringing the four together is a whole new
combination. And yet, to recognize something that this level of the combination in its
own way means much, much more than the Strategy and Authority, because again,
the Strategy and Authority is a way to make decisions, not who or what makes that
decision. It doesn't change the significance. It's about recognizing that this is the
person, their brain, their mind, their natural direction and orientation, their natural
perspective, what is truly theirs. And that we are grouped with like forms, that we
are intended to meet them, and then it gets interesting.

29
And what is the relationship difference between those who share exactly the same
configuration and those that happen to be in the group and what is the difference if
they're in different places in that group. After all, if you look down this way you'll
see that there's only one thing
different between this one
[PLLDLL] and this one [PLLDRL],
is that this is an active brain and
this is a passive brain, and the
other three bits of information
are the same. It's fascinating to
see the way in which it works.
So, what is the connection

between this kind of
focus/observed with the other
kinds of focused/observed? Are
they going to be more inclined
to attune to the other strategic mind? How different is it going to be the receptive
over here from the receptive down here, and it goes on and on. But yet they're part
of the same group.
These variable maps are quite something. And the future of mapping—it’s one of my
favorite words in a relationship Human Design. I’m a name giver, and I've titled a
lot of things in my career, mapping the mechanics of the maya has always been on
one of my favorite alliterations. It’s just one of those sweet sorts of rolling things.
That's what this really is. This is a mapping technique and it is a mapping technique
to be able to see the construct. Not just an aspect of it, but to actually see the
construct in which the personality and the vehicle operate. What is that relationship?
Peripheral/Observers
It's here that we get to see the only place we get to see [image below], other than in
those moments where you have an electromagnetic that comes from design and
personality where you really see the direct connection between the two of them.
And it's here in looking at these independent variable groups, that we get to see a
different way in which our geometry works relative to the other. All of this is about
geometry. It's all about movement in space; it's all about direction and what you
get to see what you're moving. So, they're all looking, in the same way towards the
same things. They may take it in differently, but there is this bond in them, and
these we have the peripheral/observers. So different in the quality of their
receptivity in the way in which they see, the view that they have. These are
peripheral see-ers. And it's clear that if you're going to reach out to them, you reach
out to them from within that periphery, in a sense. They’re different. They’re very
different. They’re very different from what we have been looking at, we have moved
away from the left to the right.

30
Peripheral/Observed
The peripheral/observed—and again, to begin to grasp that these are relationships,

fractals, if you will, the ways in which we connect and can see our connectivity to the
other even when we cannot experience it in their aura. Think about that, because it
opens up a lot of interesting perspectives. So, I really enjoyed it, and I must say
that it was inspired by you, Cathy, because you got me thinking that yes, everybody
does need to see them and then once I had all the charts it was very easy for me to
play, and so I did.

31
The Chart of the PHS Class
So, let's take a look. You can see that I have a general chart here. And I'm not sure
which class this is because there's a lot of repetition, but I think this is the
psychology class [note: is PHS class] and if you look at this configuration first of all
let's look at our extremists because we have wonderful extremists. We have
Stephen in the upper left-hand corner. And you can see Stephen with his all left,
and we have Cathy down here at the other end. The two of you are bookends.
Yours is missing Lynda as well [note: see RP chart p. 34], I'm sorry, that will happen or
maybe it's in the next one so just wait a second, because it’s not everybody in this
class.
If you look at the extremes at either end, for example, if you look at the opposings,
here where you have the two right/rights opposing the two left/lefts, you have
Parinama at this end. If you look at mine, and this was interesting for me to see,
there's myself and there's Inga and Alok and Joanne and Alex. And all of us share in
common the group itself. It’s just something that is very interesting, the
peripheral/observed. So obviously there is a connection that is there amongst us.
And if we look for the other peripheral/observed in the group we would have Elfriede
in this group over here and if we move over to the side we would have Deborah and
Josette in that group over there; none, by the way, in this area up here. But it's
interesting just to note. For example, me as the teacher in this, and the way in
which your character is going to resonate to the information and the way in which
that operates. Again I do want to jump to any conclusions, because quite frankly I
don't have any right now about where mapping leads us other than the most

32
obvious. In other words that this is a similarity that would allow for communication
and interaction to be eased, would be my assumption
But again, right now I'm in the place where I am interested in the exploration,
because it's the exploration that is so fascinating. For example, we have another
strong group, this group over here, which is the focused/observers. Now of course,
the group here is the peripheral/observers. So again, there is a connection. Again,
we’re going to see that there's many ways. That’s why I don’t want to jump to any
conclusions, because there are many ways that you can see the way in which things
align in relationship to others.
But if we look at this group with Andrea and Becky and Eileen and Ila, and we look
for the other focused/observers, you can see that this one is empty, but down here
we have Parinama who is part of the group. And we see that this area, again over
here is empty. One of the
things that's really interesting
is that I think the more
information we can put into the
mapping—[written comment
from Andrea: But it is not sure
that I am Receptive] okay, all
of this is just for entertainment
value. It’s about giving
everybody a chance to begin to
see what I mean about looking
at the mapping and being able
to understand that we are
bound together by this formula
and this formula gives us the
basic construct of the way in which we're going to operate as a player in the movie.
And more than that, it aligns us to certain forces. And whether it is aligning you
directly to the forces that are there in your specific variable or whether you're
aligned to those forces through the variable group, those alignments are there.
Again, you have all of these different ways in which you can look at the information.
For example, if I take Martin’s, who is a peripheral/observer, you'll see that it’s blank
there [PLRDRR], but again you'll see that on the corner there is the combination with
Cathy. So again, you have different ways in which you have these combinations that
are hooked up. Here with the focused/observed [PRLDRL], and again over here
[PRLDLL]the connection with Stephen up above. So there is a relationship that
exists between these two groups here [PLLDLL & PRLDRL] and the members of the
groups. Again, all of it is very fascinating to look at, to begin to understand that we
have a whole new mapping world that opens up.

33
The Chart of the RP Class
Okay here is the other one, that is, the other class [image below]. And again, you
can see that something very interesting happens here. I believe that this is the PHS
class, if I'm not mistaken [note: it’s the RP class], I think it is. You'll notice that we
have a very, very strong focused/observed group that emerges. It's not there in the
previous, it is only Stephen, and here the moment we move over into this area, we
immediately have four people now altogether in this area. Now it's interesting from
the perspective of what does that mean relative to, for example, the knowledge
itself, because it goes further than that. This is the focused/observed. And if we go
over here to this strong group that is on this side [PRLDRL], again we see that we
have this combination. That is, we have Kumud and Paddy and Randy in this
focused/observed connected to this group here [PLLDLL] and also to Jacques over
here with his focused/observed. There are none in this corner [PRLDLL]. You'll notice
that, I don't think there are any of them in which the potential of the whole
configuration is actually there.
Again, I think one of the things that is interesting about mapping is when we can
start mapping hundreds of people. I'm doing that now with celebrities. Over the
years with the all of the various work, particularly Randy’s work, in the early years
when I was doing the programming for the radio show I collected all of these famous
charts and I've been putting them together into one of these grids and it's not just
interesting from the entertainment point of view.

34
And I think Randy, with your collection, it might be something that I could ask you to
do is to be able to fit, well, you’ll have to wait, you can’t do that now, it’s too much
work, but when the program is available, to do a complete map of the famous rave
people. For example, to do mapping of let's say a hundred politicians, to begin to
see the dynamics. Because of course, if we look at public figures, whether they're
entertainers or they’re politicians, we’re looking at archetypal roles being expressed.
The moment that we can see a broad spectrum of those roles played against this
matrix, that is, played against the variable matrix, we're going to be able to see the
characteristics emerge.
I think this is the most interesting discovery since the first expression of the concept
of archetype. I think this is the first time it's possible to see the basic archetypes.
And that's what we're looking at. That's what the variable is. The variable is giving
us the basic archetype of the being. Strategy and Authority type is a wonderful
thing. It tells the being how to operate correctly, to be able to maintain the potential
of whatever character has been established.
The Center of the Box
But this is the thing to grasp about the variable. What makes it so important for us
is that it is for the first time our ability to be able to distinguish a characteristic
archetype. And that we know that, first of all, that there are these four basic
archetypes. This is the key. And you can always see them well expressed, by the
way, in this group because you can always see the four—again remember were in a
magic box—you can always
see the four variables in the
center. That is, here we have
a peripheral/observer, here
we have the
focused/observer, here we
have the peripheral/observed,
here we have the
focused/observed.
So, in that sense, in the

center the core of what is this
grouping, this class, at the
core of this class is all four of
these grouping archetypes.
And out of those four,
obviously, we have nuances that are there, because, in fact, if we look all of these
are different. This is active/strategic, this is active/receptive, this passive/strategic,
this is passive/receptive. In other words, you're really looking at four unique
expressions of the four groups and the four subgroups in the very center of this
dynamic.

35
Now, I'm convinced that there are people who are going to do all kinds of mappings
ultimately based on this grid and this information. And because we’re at the
foundation of this, this is the first time that Holistic Analysis has ever been taught. It
is the first time that there is a student body that is capable of grasping and applying
the information. It is the first time that the tools exist to be able to provide the
platform to be able to do the analytical work. And out of all of that, and it is the
beauty of science, out of all of digging has emerged an incredible tool for being able
to see the true archetypes of what we are as a species, the 16 of them.
Right now, and as we go through, I'm going to break them down piece by piece so
that we can begin to apply them in terms of general analysis. And of course, as we
go through our process, we're only going to do these two classes at time. It's very
important in the way in which the program is designed that after we go through
these two sessions of Holistic Analysis that we go back into our disciplines and we go
back into the further development of how to use the information on either the design
side for PHS application, or on the psychological side.
So, I want to make sure that what we have here is the beginning of a grasping, if
you will, of what these 16 archetypes are. That is, to begin to search for them.
What we're going to do is weave in and out based on the way we integrate this new
information downwards as we go back to the substructure and the way we can go
through this level by level as we integrate the knowledge in preparation for you
going out and being able to use this knowledge as a tool. Why is there nothing here
and here and here, and actually I’m not using everybody that’s in the class, because
I’m not using people who do downloads, because ultimately they’re in a very
different category for me.
Feedback and Insights
So, it’s just interesting, why do certain areas dominate? It is just interesting to
watch the relationships to see the way it's integrated. What we have to discover out
of this, and again it comes from our combined research. It's important for me that I
get feedback from you and you can give me feedback anyway that you like. You can
talk about it in our general question periods, or you can send me insights that you
have. If you have maps that you develop that are illustrative, please share that with
me. It’s important for all of us. What I can teach you is the way that you can learn
how to use this information. In other words, I can make sure that you're
theoretically well grounded and that you know how to use what you see here.
But we're dealing with something that is really revolutionary. And it is more than
just a matter of giving you the information. We’re in a process that we share
together. So, your input is something that I encourage. Obviously, all of you are
involved in looking at what kind of project that you're going to do for your candidacy.
I want to encourage as many of you as possible, and again please don't take this
as—I'm not trying to influence you. It’s just that the more of you that are interested
in attacking the variable question, the more really valid solid Human Design
information develops. And this is an area where I think that the more the weight of

36
your intellectual depth at this point, the more that weight is put to work in this area,
I think this is a deeply useful application of your knowledge. We’re on very, very
exciting ground in looking at all of this.
We need to grasp, technically, the values. One of the things that I'm going to
concentrate on when we come back next week is that I'm going to give you
crossover keynotes. What I mean by that is that for those of you that are PHS
oriented, certain basic keynotes for looking at the personality side, and vice versa.
And the way in which we can incorporate these basic keynotes into giving us a
framework for looking at any particular variable. But what I'm going to do in the
future is that I'm going to avoid working with full maps. In other words, I want to be
able to begin the process of training you to be able to look at the group's first.
Focus and Ponder on the Map
So many of you, perhaps even all of you, are genuinely curious about how we
connect to the other. Strategy and Authority doesn't tell you how you connect to the
other. It can tell you which other is right for you, but it isn't you, after all. It is a
mechanic of decision making. Here we're looking at the frame of who you are. And
at this level and at the depth of the information you have, this is the most profound
holistic looking glass that we have ever had on this plane. This is a fantastic thing.
And the variable is the key to it. So it's a place where you need to put your focus
and you need to ponder.
One of my joys in the knowledge is the fact that it's visual. If I can't see it, I can’t
see it. I have to see it. I've got all those 3s, you can see, in my construct. I have to
see it. Looking at it is so wonderful. You just look at it and you see it. You put your
family there and you put your extended family in there, and then you begin to add
your friends, you begin to add
your acquaintances and slowly
but surely you build a map and
all of a sudden things jump at
you. They do.
And what does it mean? Take

the example of this configuration
and look at it sideways. For
example, Jagruti and Inga and I,
look at us. Now, if you look at us
in terms of what is our
independent variable, there is no
real relationship. There isn't really—observer/observed, boy, are they different,
physically very different; very different in their approaches. But if you look at it
sideways, what we return to week after next, you go back to the sideways and you
see, aha, on the personality side we have in common the strategic/peripheral. Well,
so does Elfriede and Roberta. We’re all strategic/peripheral personalities, even
though we may differ, all of us, in terms of the way in which our vehicles operate.

37
So there is a bond that is there between. There is a bond that runs down the line.
The relationship in the personality between Parinama and Jacques and the four that
are up here—Graziella, Barbara, Don and Stephen. Again, there is an alignment
through the personality. And of course, as we'll see, there are alignments that exist
through the design, and so forth and so on. It’s quite something to begin to grasp.
Look at these personalities and how they link up and yet how different they are in a
configuration. And slowly you begin to see that you can weave your way into a
whole movement of energy, the way things move, because there is a way that it all
moves. This is a living thing in which all things have a relationship to each other.
Have you ever heard about the Bacon Factor? It was an inside Hollywood thing
years ago. Basically the Bacon Factor was a way of trying to illustrate to people that
we all live in very small world. Bacon was the actor, I don’t remember his first
name, really not a very good actor to begin with; Kevin Bacon, I think, yes Kevin
Bacon. The idea was do you know somebody who knows him, or do you know
somebody who knows somebody who knows him, or do you know somebody who
knows somebody who knows somebody—this became the Bacon Factor. So you can
have a Bacon Factor of one or two, like 6° of separation, exactly. So, there are
Bacon Factors here, degrees of separation that are here in this mapping.
The Holy Grail of Character Analysis
I want to inspire you, and I hope I can, I hope I am. I want to inspire you to see
that you just hit the Holy Grail of character analysis. That's what this is. I want you
to breathe it in that way, and begin to watch it, look at it, and see it. This is one of
the advantages of being a fairly long time in Design. We all have storage areas of
charts and all kinds of information. This is a whole new way of looking at a human
being. It's a whole new way. And it doesn't come simply with what we can make of
it. It comes with the fact that every single one of these aspects have a profound set
of information that operates whether it’s sideways or whether it is horizontal. It's
quite something. It really is.
So, I leave you with your charts and the charts of all the other members of the
classes and with these configurations and these illustrations. If over the course of
the week you’re deeply inspired and you come up with an interesting map that you'd
like me to look at, I might throw that in. But anyway, I'll be very interested in where
you go in our journey together. Again, I think you can tell that I find this—I’m a 1st
line aha person. I'm delighted to be in such a place that what I do for a living that I
can do it at such a high level and that it's so stimulating for my mind. It’s beautiful
to be able to see the pattern and to be able to see a pattern that was invisible. You
look at the old bodygraph platform and it wasn’t there, couldn't see it. You could
find it if you went into research and detail it. It wasn’t right there in front of you.
And oh, how different that makes everything. So, enjoy your variable research. And
please remember that next week that the Holistic Analysis class will be on
Wednesday, not Tuesday. In other words, we will all together next Wednesday.
Okay to all of you, you take care; bye for now.

Lesson Three
Holistic Analysis 2
Variables and Variable Mapping
Hello and welcome to all of you. Today actually has been a very special day for me
so far. It began at 10 o'clock in the morning my time, about 10 hours ago, or
something like that. That was my History of Geometry class. You'll all notice, by the
way, if you haven't noticed already that there's a resource that's been added for you
today. It’s called the Special Base Orientation download [HG 1.3]. In fact, it is the
recording and the PowerPoint from my class this morning in History of Geometry.
I know that there's quite a few of you, by the way, that participate in that. It is
essential for students at this level to have access to the information that I gave out
this morning. That is, it is perhaps some of the most fundamental information. That
is, being able to clearly explain and through that to be able to understand so many
things, but basically to explain the difference between design and personality and in
essence what that leads to.
So I want you all be aware of that because I'm going to briefly touch on that subject
as I move through today in this holistic process. But I won't go into it in detail
because obviously it takes a lot to cover. So, the download is there for you, and
whatever gaps are there in this evening’s presentation they’ll be filled in by the
recording itself. So don't forget to pick that up after the class.
The other thing I want to remind all of you was that this is the end of our holistic
classes. That is, next week we go back to our regular schedule in which we go back
into our separate areas of work. We’ll again have this process further down the road
after we’ve done some deconstructing back into the different disciplines themselves.
The Importance of the Nodes
Okay, so let's move along. The essence of what we are here to look at in this
particular class and to set this up as a basis upon which I will approach these areas
separately beginning next week, that is, separately in the two different disciplines,
the significance of the meaning of and how to interpret and use analytically the
values of the Nodes. I cannot stress enough, I really can't, I cannot stress enough
how significant the Nodes are once we enter into a holistic level of looking at the

39
bodygraph. That is, a real understanding of how the body/mind system is brought
together is something that is within the nodal frame; that what gives our life its
movement and its significance literally is within the nodal frame. And so we’re going
to be looking in that sense at the Nodes in a very special way.
You've already seen that in the way in which variable graphing is set up. That is,
that what we are looking at here is that we are looking at the independent variable
with the dependent variable, the Sun/Earth combinations above. In other words that
the independent variable, that the key to it all is this relationship holistically of the
Nodes on either side. And one of the things that I began to show you when we were
last together and what will be expressed in detail in the download that is there in the
resource area for you is the unusual configuration and relationship of the Nodes to
the bases. And this is something that becomes very important, this base orientation.
Because literally what this base orientation means is that the design North Node is
linked to the personality configuration, literally, in that sense.
So, there is a very different way in which we analyze the values of the South Node
and the North Node as an example in terms of the way we look at it in PHS or on the
personality side, again dealing with the fact that the personality South Node has an
unusual relationship to the design construct because of orientation. And base
orientation, again as I said this is not the subject of this discourse this evening, so it
is something that you can pick up the details in the download. But, it is through this
unusual base orientation and why there is this base orientation that just from seeing

40
LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2
it at this level is a way of understanding it is through the agency of the Nodes that
there is a way in which the body system is linked to the mind system in both ways;
that is, from the design side to the personality, from the personality over to the
design.
In other words, here

what were looking at are
elements that are
literally holistic
elements. In other
words, that built into
their function, despite
they’re separated in the
database, that inherent
in their isolation in the
database, inherent in it, is a potential through the orientation of the base to align
itself to the personality. In other words, it is a way of finding of a process, finding a
way to bring personality and design together in the illusion of literally what we call
ourselves. That is, the holistic illusion of the being.
The Independent Variable: Where the Life Is Established
So, when I begin our work here today looking at the independent variable, it is this
independent variable, it is its orientations, it is its unique relationships from one side
to the other, it is along this line that the life is established. I mean, this is where it's
all established. So it’s really something to grasp. When you're looking above, and
again one of the tendencies of pointing to a truth is that you can end up diminishing
the value of something else, the truth that this is the independent variable upon
which everything stands doesn't diminish what is here inherent in the Sun/Earths.
After all, this is the brain system [design];
this is the potential of the passenger mind
[personality]. These are essential
ingredients. This is the profile that you're
looking at here. But it's not the
independent variable, because this is what
life is all about.
It's one of those things that I stress over

and over again and it doesn't matter what
class it is, this is all about movement.
And of course, when I say it's all about
movement that becomes something that
when you see it played out through the Nodes becomes enormously complex. It
really does. That is, the complexity is not simply the environment, as an example
which comes from the design side, the approach to the environment which has to do
with its left-ness or its right-ness. The base orientation that is going to align it to
recognize and take in certain people out of a crowd, as an example, rather than

41
others. And all that aligned with a personality, a personality that’s doing the best it
can with the brain it has. The personality that is orienting itself to the view is being
established for it by the positioning that is there in the alignment that the Nodes
bring in the movement, and all this lays a foundation. It lays the foundation for the
unique experience that we all have, that unique experience of consciousness in the
form, a life that unfolds in front of us and the grandeur of this unfolding is here. This
is the mechanism.
So the first thing to understand is that when we are looking at these elements, that
is, the independent variable, what we are looking at is a commonality that we can
see, a commonality in the way in which beings integrate on this plane. Think about
it. When we are looking at the Sun/Earth we are looking at the Internal. When we
are looking at the Nodes we are looking at the External. The internal is personal to
the Nodes transpersonal. That is, the Nodes represent our movement in space and if
your movement is always going to lead you to banging into something or not, it is all
about navigation on this plane.
This independent variable,

because it's about navigation on
this plane, because it starts with
base orientation and the base
orientation is the finite point in
which all imprints are set, after
all, it is the point. That what you
get is that from this side over
here [design nodes], what you
actually get is what is in terms of
whatever the construct above is
going to be, what is going to be the environment and the approach to the
environment and where is all that and how do you stay in it. And out of that comes
the vitality for extended well-being in the life. That is, not so much extended as
finally being able to have a body that actually is Uranian instead of having a
Saturnian body that starts falling apart after 30.
And all of this is about the way in which we interact with the other. What is the form
of the vehicle in terms of what environment and what approach and what orientation
is going to point it at which beings? And think about the fact that the design North
Node, and again from the download you’ll hear much more about this, think about
how the design North Node through its base orientation that through that orientation
it has a connection to personality. In other words, that it is in effect connected to
certain kinds of personalities; something in fact that from the surface you could
never see. Everything about the Nodes is about who we are in our relationship to
the other and that defines us, defines our life, defines what we make of this life,
defines what we see and think.

42
Fractal Lines Run Along the Independent Variable
When you come over to the personality side, again, you come into the phenomena
that the Nodes operate differently because of their base orientation. They follow the
same generic rules. This is all about perspective and view. It is what it is there to
be seen in this correct alignment. But it's more than that; it’s also the ability of this
view to tap into the sensory capacity of the vehicle, the sensory capacity of the brain
system. It’s along the independent variable that the fractal line runs.
This is why that the information that is there in the download is part of my History of
Geometry program. In other words, to show a mechanical relationship from the very
beginning how the mechanics have always operated in a movement and an inherent
geometry. And literally to be able to see that it is through the base that the
orientation is really established. A base is the prime point. And when you look at
the calculation, by the time you build it up to what it is, you build it up to the Node,
you build it up to its function of bringing together the holistic being on a particular
track.
So when we're looking at what is our prime subject today, which is variable, what we
are looking at is bonds that unite us and bonds that unite us that are not there on
the surface. They're not. You don't get to see them. The way in which the base
orientation works, the fact that there is the shifting of the base orientation literally
means that when you're in your environment and you’re operating correctly, who is
going to be attracted to you or who you are going to be attracted to as a personality

43
isn't something that you would be able to note on the surface. But you can see it in
the orientation, and you can see it in the variable.
And of course again, we have primary connections that exist within the variable. I
think we’re going to take a look at this one because it's mine, and just as an
example to be able to look at it. And again, you can see that there is a fundamental
relationship that runs through these four different areas here, these four different
variables. What we get in that is that we actually get a family. We get a family of
the peripheral/observed. And
literally what that means if you
take into consideration the values
that are in there in terms of what
those arrows mean relative to the
Nodes, that what you're looking at
is that these four together in this
particular group that they have a
natural tendency, that is, a correct
tendency to flock together, if I can
use bird metaphors. I don’t know
how appropriate that is.
There's something oddly spiritual about all this, and I don't mean to be flip. You
could almost call it a family. That is, if it were correct, the environments that are
indicative of these particular configurations would be naturally filled with these
beings. In other words, that they are intended to interact with each other, they’re
intended to meet each other, because they have a similar way in moving. If you can
imagine that the movement is the river and you think about currents, all of these are
operating in the same current. And because they're operating in the same current,
despite the fact that their dependent variables are all different, and obviously that
will lead us to looking at completely different profiles, very different the way in which
these beings present themselves both as a brain and mind, and of course all of the
possibilities of that. And yet, despite that, and again, what you cannot see directly
on the surface, despite that what you get underneath is an underlying linkage and an
underlying linkage relative to a physical domain, in that sense. That is, relative to
the physical environment that is expressed in whatever the design aspect happens to
be.
Orientation Points Towards a Certain Interest in Others
And of course they all share the same way of looking at things, they just do. And
because they all share the same way of looking at things, and that they are all
intended to move through the same current, that they all have a very important
relationship to each other because they all bring the variance of the dependents,
which of course all leads to differentiation, leads to the expression of uniqueness and
whatever. But, there is a bond here and it is a fractal bond. What is interesting
about it is that there is a differentiation that is going to exist in here, because not
everyone who is connected in this way is going to be of interest. They're not; even

44
though they share the commonality of the independent variable, because the interest
is in orientation.
And again just for a brief moment to think about orientation and to think about each
of these corners is a base, and the moment that you look at that, for example, let's
take the example of the design North Node. And if we take the example of the
design North Node in the upper left-hand corner you can see that the quadrant there
is colored in. This is its orientation,
the orientation for this 3. And it isn't
the orientation for the design, because
we know that the North Node connects
to the personality. I should be
drawing in black, but I'm not. But
anyway, this is the orientation that fits
over to the personality side.
So, literally what that means is that

this orientation points towards a
certain interest in others, a certain interest in personality. And when I say interest I
just simply mean compatibility, non-resistance interaction with the other, non-
aggressive competitiveness all of the advantageous things that we can have between
each other. But if you look at the 3 up here, what you'll see is that it basically only
has a relationship bond that’s easy to either side and never relates directly to the
opposite side.
And of course, what that means is that even though we may be in a place where we
have the commonality of let's say the variable and the independent variable that
beneath that is even a further refinement. Not simply that we’re part of the same
kind of whatever in this particular current, but you are particularly interesting to me.
And it always means that somebody isn't. These are the kind of things you cannot
see on the surface. This is a whole new level of understanding our underlying
relationships. It’s what you get in fractal, that is, it’s what you get here through the
variables and what you get at an even more finite level when you're looking at the
orientation of the bases themselves.
The Keynoting Illustration
I want to give you a sense of the thematics that are there, that is, the language that
is being used in the keynoting so you see this combination of observed, observer,
focused and peripheral [image below]. And of course, you see the combinations that
are there when we are talking about the Sun/Earth, you see those combinations.
Now, all of you have detailed, at least in each of your disciplines, have detailed
mappings of this. And for the holistic purposes I’m giving you this basic graphing
with the basic information so that as you’re looking at a particular variable you can
see the various keys and the various possibilities that are there.

45
One of the things that is so important to grasp about the design Nodes is that the
design Nodes do two things—in essence three because they are part of the alignment
itself; they align us when we’re being correct—Strategy and Authority—they're
aligning us to our particular direction. That alignment to the particular direction is
actually an alignment towards environment. And the thing to understand is that
because we are material beings, in other words, as bio-forms we have to feed
ourselves, that we have to spend a great deal of our active time in pursuit of our
resource well-being. In other words, be out in the world, and of course the Nodes
are about us being out in the world.
The Design Nodes: The Healthiest Environment for Us
The design Nodes give us the environments that are the healthiest environments for
us to be productive in. And because those environments are so healthy for us to be
productive in, it brings two things. That is, it brings enhanced quality of life in terms
of our vehicle, but it also aligns us to forces that in fact are not our non-resistance
forces. In other words, if you're correct and you're in the right environment then
you're not going to end up in situations where you’re going to meet a great deal of
resistance.

46
The Observed/Observer
The other thing that it brings is approach. This is where the observed/observer
comes from. That is, this is a way in which the body moves, or the way in which the
vehicle behaves physically in the environment. Now, the left-hand side, the
observed, literally what this means is that this is the body that is attracting
attention. In other words, its movements in the environment bring attention to it,
and that attention of course leads to the ability to be able to integrate socially in the
way that's correct for it. If it’s on the observer side it’s actually being watched, in
that sense. In other words, it is not involved in a process so that others are
watching it, it is uninvolved in a process, just being in the environment and watching
what is going on. It’s very different.
If you go back into the class material you’ll see that this is covered in detail. But
again, it's important to see what it means, the design Nodes, what they actually
bring for us. They really set up the way in which we are going to interact with the
other. And of course, that very setup for the way in which we're going to interact,
the environment we’re going to be in, how we operate in that environment, that we
operate in that environment what we’re going to end up with, is that we end up with
a particular way of seeing out of that positioning.
The Focused/Peripheral
And of course, that way of seeing, and again the separate language to all of this that
is all over on the psychology side, the difference between being focused and
peripheral. The moment that you think about the focused view is the moment that
you really grasp the basics of being strategic. Strategic isn't something that is—it’s
the language of the personality, but it can't exist without the focused view. It is the
focused view that creates that potential.
And so on one side we have the left-ness and its focused view, and on the other side
we have the peripheral, the right, the very, very open perspective. When you take
either one of them and bring them into combinations with the other side you're
beginning to get to see the framework in which not only does this being thrive in the
world, but who belongs in that world, their ability to be selective in that. In other
words, if we’re operating in the right places we begin to have the right kinds of depth
of experience to fulfill our potential. It’s very difficult, by the way, because the world
is filled with humans and spaces who are incorrect and therefore, they don't
necessarily belong there, and that is something that becomes very evident
particularly when you begin to enter into this process correctly, you begin to see the
deep limitations of the world that we live in.
Okay, this is a further refinement of what we've been looking at [image below]. That
is, going over here and eliminating all of the various pieces of business to get down
to some basic keys and some basic ways of looking at the construct itself. Again,
being able to take it to the way in which it works. The natural shores as this

47
environment [lower left] and because it's left, the one that is involved in the
environment, busy within themselves within what is the correct environment. And
again it's me, I literally function this way.
This establishes the thematic, because I mentioned to you last time that I wanted to
remind you that understanding these variables even though the mat can be
intimidating, it really isn't. It's simply about—you have all the data and all of the
data is laid out for you, you've been through the training in terms of exploring all of
these aspects. So, now it's a time to begin to refresh yourself with the basic logic.
Remember that this is the beauty of this knowledge, how deeply, deeply logical it is.
To use your logic to look at these constructs and begin to understand the kind of
being that’s being established on this holistic foundation.
Fractal Movements
There are so many ways for us to look at things, and so many things for us to be
able to explore. The theme here, as an example, looking at this independent
variable, and you look at the independent variable [image below] and you see it’s
the focused/observed. So, you have a very strategic view, and you have an
observer. So, what you have is somebody who is the kind of person who is sitting
back. It’s much more passive in the way in which they physically present
themselves in their environment, but they have a real sharp eye. And even though

48
they look like they're passive in that environment that eye is a keen eye and is
focused. There are all of these kinds of attributes that you begin to recognize. And
then of course to see it is a grouping.
The other thing is that there's a natural tendency because we're dealing with magic
squares to see that there are always ways in which you can see different alignments.
These two [red block] are better connected than either one is to the others. Because
of course they have a strategic
focus personality. So they're
actually quite similar. As a
matter of fact, the only
difference is the way in which
their brain works. That's going
to be the difference, and not
simply the way in which the
brain works, but what their
dietary regimen is going to be,
that's going to be the basic
difference. But, you can see
that there is a relationship
there that is not the same
relationship when you're
looking across and you're
looking at the relationship here
[blue box]. Again, you have a different way of looking at. You can look at it from
the personality view and what you're looking at is the active brain system. And the
active brain systems that are connected with the observer body and environmental
demand.
In other words, another set of

relationships that on the design side
they’re going to have a better
relationship, but, on the personality
side they’re going to have a better
relationship. It gets very
interesting. In other words, there
are different ways in which we see
the ease with which communion can
take place. I mean that, again, it's
one of those moments for me
where I see how the fractal
geometry gets laid out. And how
you begin to see the way in which there are different levels of communion that can
be established and that these different levels of communion represent different ways
in which information is going to move.
For example, there is going to be resistance between the strategic and receptive
minds in that situation, as an example. But at the same time, there is an influence
that is taking place physically between them that is very different from what the

49
personality effect can be. In other words, you have all these different elements and
basically you're talking about different kinds of levels of connection. You have a
variable in a group, and there are
people that share that variable
with you. So this is a primary
connection. And then you have
secondary connections. Now, the
secondary connection is
something that you can look at in
a binary way because it moves
out in either direction. In other
words, the fractal that moves out
from the design side and the
fractal that moves up from the
personality side [upper left]
relative to what’s here [larger red
outlining]. And basically what
you're looking at is a fractal movement, this kind of broken telephone generational
movement.
The example here [PLLDLR] is that some information that you want to get across
that there is a—again there's all kinds of variables in life. There's probably a 90%
chance of getting the information
across whole to this group. The
chances diminish the moment that
any of these others [red lines
pointing out from PLLDLR] are
involved. And yet, they will get the
message, but they will not get the
message purely. There will be some
things that will not settle in. And
then of course, there are the other
relationships that are there [5 X’s]
that are not part of the group that
still are aligned in the geometry to
this. What are the values here or here or whatever the case may be and where do
they fit in the chain of information, and how far do you go before there is the
unintelligible when the information just doesn't get across.
By the way, my opinion is that it is not within the variable, it’s within the orientation.
That is, remember in the orientation there is always somebody that can not be
accessed in terms of being able to communicate with them directly. And that
orientation is going to create those situations in which you simply, despite whatever
the alignment may be, you simply can't communicate or be communicated to in that
kind of a connection. There are so many things to begin to discover in terms of the
way in which we bond together.
I want you to understand something about the importance of variables, because next
week we go back into our separate disciplines. What is important about the variable

50
is that we are going to learn a great deal about both the physical and psychological
of those clients we deal with when we begin to be able to sort them into their
variable archetypes and their variable archetype groups. Just as the relationship
between us has been hidden, because we had to go deep, deep down to come back
up to the surface to be able to see it, just because it's hidden doesn't mean that it is
not there; it is there. And we're going to see very, very fascinating relationships that
arise out of each of these disciplines relative to this. The deeper we go, the more we
get to see how we are intended to be connected to each other and the way in which
those connections work.
Now here of course, is another example entirely. Here is something where you’re
looking at all left; left, left, left, left, left. So we are looking at a very, very left
independent variable. And in that left independent variable what you've got is
somebody who in their environment is absorbed and focused, observed and focused,
they're deeply absorbed in their process in the environment, very, very focused. So,
it's a type, it’s a character type. You always thought those people that are sort of
wandering around lost in thought, it’s a type. And yet, very different in the way in
which that character is going to be dressed in terms of the way in which the
dependent variable is going to come into view.
But think about these groupings. And that we’re going to begin to see that because
this is the movement in the life and the foundation physically for the life and what
we take in in this life that we’re going to see that in terms of therapeutic diagnostics
that this is going to be a key in our understanding and is going to point us in the
right direction, because this is where it all is. I have spent nearly 20 years teaching
the dependent variable and I can tell you, this is where it is. Yes, all of that above is
very important and we learned it, but it is all dependent on this and we need to see

51
that these groupings represent basic relationships. Basic relationships that exist
between us that are necessary for us in the fulfillment of larger processes, and not
something that we've ever been aware of consciously, because it's not easy to see.
Holistic Analysis Is an Illusion
How shall I phrase this—Holistic Analysis is an illusion. It sees what's not there. I
mean, that's what makes it magical. I look at these graphs now; I look at a lot of
graphs now because I want to accustom my eyes to looking in a new way. And, the
variable has totally changed the way that I look at a graph, totally changed the way
that I look at graph. I see it within a continuity that I never had before, the deeply
generic bodygraph that everyone has worked with. And again, it is a beautiful thing.
I only have great love and respect for that graph. But, at the same time so many
things were hidden in a sense, and simply because the knowledge wasn't there, the
development of the knowledge had not taken place.
And it is so extraordinary to see how as you go layer by layer by layer into the
minutiae of the mechanics that what you arrive at is actually a holistic, something
that emerges as the bodygraph emerges. In fact, it is the key to the bodygraph
emerging and you get to have a holistic insight into the nature of that phenomenon
that we call the being or what we call our lives. Variable is something that if there
were enough time this lays the foundation for understanding the way in which
communication between human beings can be optimal, the way in which we can
interface with each other and the way in which we can go beyond the surface of our
designs to find what are the correct allies for us in this life, because we are not here,
obviously, to be alone.
And of course, the other side of the story, the all rights—it sounds good, the all
rights—the extreme to the other side [blue box]. The peripheral/observer is right as
you can get, just watching, and
how that can be so poorly
interpreted, how it can be
misunderstood in the life, how
these people can be
misunderstood simply by the way
they are in environments that are
correct for them. They appeared
to be deeply passive within their
given environment, but in fact
they're deeply attractive. That is,
when they are in the right environment remember that the nodal alignment brings
you to the right environment not for yourself, but for you in relationship to the other
because that is what makes your life.
So, despite the right-ness of all of, these beings in the right place, they receive what
is necessary for them, which is the initiatory moments for them to be able to share,
to reveal, whatever is lying there within their right configuration. And of course

52
again there are all of the other variations that we see in the configurations of the
way it works, and so forth and so on. There are many, many nuances along the
way. As we go through our program this year, it's all very exciting, but this is only
the third week of 33 weeks, so we have a lot of things to do and a lot of information
to cover.
Following the Trail of Connectivity
I want you to begin to place everything within the variable perspective. It is the only
way in which you’re really going to learn about it. See charts that way, bring them
together in those groupings the way—this example of the various configurations for
the two classes, and of course my comment about what we were looking at earlier
you can see that there is a specific relationship that’s very specific here. That is, a
commonality that is here in the four aspects of the variables. So obviously, there is a
specific kind of relationship that exists between the five of us. Not necessarily
something that would have been recognizable. As matter of fact, all of us only in that
sense, and in a way Alok is an exception because he was part of my tribal life here
on Ibiza that we probably never would have met, if you know what I mean. We were
brought together by the knowledge.
And yet at the same time, the way in which I move out information that there is a
very natural way in which that information is taken in by this group. But you can
also see that Elfriede, as an example, is part of the same independent variable in the
same way that Josette and Deborah are part of the independent variable, and
different ways in which the information moves. These are things, obviously, that we

53
need to explore. Again, here is another example, you take this example here of the
focused/observed and the relationships that are going to exist in there. Or you take
the observer and you look at the relationships that are in there. There are all these
ways and it begins to tell you something about the way you’re aligned.
What is very important for me is that what does this mean? And what does this
mean? In other words, this is something that will only come out of the deeper work
that we're going to be doing in our separate disciplines, to begin to understand what
these relationships are really about and what the significance of them are. After all,
they all have a relationship to each other. And they're all necessary in the way in
which the whole movie gets played out. So, it's not like that nobody connects, but
how they connect, the way the connection works and what does it mean if somebody
that's next to you, though they will have a commonality with you, after all, there is a
personality commonality, but they may have something else—base orientation. And
the base orientation can bring a whole different way in which these two beings or
these beings or these can end up relating to each other, and some not.
In other words, we’re beginning to be able to follow the trail of connectivity and be
able to see how that works. There is, as you all know by now, an enormous amount
of information that's locked away in these numbers. It's tremendous the amount, in
that sense. When we go back into the different disciplines next week we're going to
begin to work with the whole process. In other words, to integrate the gates and the
lines and the way the gates and the lines are part of the design itself, that is, the
bodygraph configuration itself, and to begin to work downwards and distill precisely
what the information means. And precisely what it means on its two different sides.
After we have done the work of that, we’ll come back together again to be able to
integrate the two sets of knowledge into a more detailed holistic approach.
But the key for us now is that what we have learned is in front of us, all the keys
that are there. And the last key in that ingredient, that is, the base orientation, is
something that after you listen to the download that I provided you, you will have a
very good understanding of not only how extraordinary it is, but simply what it is
and how it operates. And then we can begin to complete our work.

54
Drawing Together the Holistic Dimension of a Being
I was saying at the end of the earlier class today I'm really at the close of my
analytical work. It is something that is thrilling for me, in fact, to be able to cross all
the “t’s” and dot all the “i’s” and finish the business of laying out the mechanics.
Part of that, as I said, is in the download. Part of it is what we're doing here. That
is, beginning to see that once we assemble all this depth of information that we have
a new pattern structure that we have to work, that pattern structure that is the
independent and dependent variables, to begin to see that this is the way that we
draw together the holistic dimension of a being.
It really is essential for you to see that this knowledge is going to give you the
completion of what is a very, very profound toolbox for being able to look into the
being. And yet, the reason that there is this holistic program is that in order to truly
be allowed to do what is correct that you have to work from the holistic elements.
And again, this is going to be our journey, particularly over this particular semester,
our journey to return to the holistic approach. We've been deep, deep, deep, deep
down. And now we’re going to come back all the way up to the surface, but we’re
not coming back to the surface as we once knew it. This is the beauty of our process
together in this winding trail of filling out this knowledge.
We come to the surface again with a whole new construct and a whole new way
visually; Human Design is deeply, deeply, deeply visual. It is what makes it so
accessible, in a way. And its visual elements are guides, they are signposts, they
point you so clearly at set principles. What we have here in Advanced Imaging is
that we have the complete palette of colors that we need, we have the compete
layout, if you will, of the essential ingredients and out of doing all that work going
down, we have holistic elements that arise, and it is these holistic elements that
really are the forces that truly frame the life.
Remember something about type and Strategy and Authority, they’re wonderful.
Type, in and of itself, is truly a miracle. How incredible it is to have such a piece of
information that can allow you to eliminate resistance in your life and operate
correctly and have your own authority. Type is a wonderful thing, but it's a decision-
making tool. It doesn't say who you are. We can make generalizations about what
types are, if you know what I mean. But it's the way that a person makes a
decision, whoever that person may be. And that's what we’re looking at here, who is
this person, how good is their mind, what is their sensory capacity, what kind of
body do they have, what are the environments that are healthy for them, how do
they see life, what do they look for in life, how do they think, it's all here.
So, what we're looking at is that holistically in the illusion that we are bound in
groups. It doesn't matter whether we see them on the surface or not. But we are
bound by these groups, that our very existence is tied to these groups. Variables
are the gateway of understanding what human is and being able to understand
human in its many dimensions. And for each of you in the discipline that you follow,
the ability to take the insight that is given to you through this information to be able

55
to transform a life, to be able to transform the physical life, to be able to awaken the
passenger. It's a beautiful calling if this is what has called you, and to be able to
have the tools to do that.
So we have been deep down and it has been a privilege. And it's nice to have all of
the information, but the real trick is being held to synthesize it, being able to look
holistically at a bodygraph whether you are a psychologist or a practitioner, to be
able to look holistically at that bodygraph with enough depth on either side to
supplement your depth on whatever your side is, to be able to grasp the nature of
the being and to be able to help them in the deepest possible way. I think you're
already aware of this by now that in the way in which I refer to my work with you
publicly, that is, the third-year program and the way in which I talk about the value
of this program that this is the level of knowledge that is for those who can help
those who have entered into the experiment.
Begin to Think Holistically
This is a very special kind of knowledge. It's not the knowledge of providing
somebody with the entry point, the analyst, in that sense, but it’s being held to
provide the deepest possible guidance and awareness for those who have entered
into and are truly dedicated to the process of being correct. Here we have incredible
tools to be able to work with and to be able to help us in guiding them, whether it's
from the mental plane or it's the physical plane. But I want you to get out of the
habit now of being only in the detail. You have to begin to think holistically. And
even though we're going to go back into the separate sides we’re never going to be
very far away from looking at the potential for the independent or the dependent
variables that are set up by what we are looking at, because they’re the key.
For so long we have wondered about how we are truly all connected to each other.
Well wonder no longer; it can be seen. It can be mapped. It can be analyzed. It
can be graphed. All that remains now is for the research, for the work to be done.
And again, though I don't want to harp on this because it would make it sound like
that's my preference and it's not a preference it truly is just a suggestion, but any of
you in the presentations that you're going to be doing for your candidacy, I'm
certainly open to and encourage in that sense presentations that are going to look at
various aspects of the holistic approach relative to whatever your discipline happens
to be, obviously. But this is something that is a key for the completion of our
knowledge.
It was always my goal to be able to integrate these programs in the final year,
because I don't want you to just have half the story, either one of you, and how
important it is that as the most educated students that I've ever worked with that
you really have a complete education. So I do want you to focus on looking at the
holistic and working with these variables. Again, keep on adding to group variable
maps that you have and begin to develop different ones. For example, just create a
mat for people that are friends. Create a mat for people that you only deal with that

56
are not personal, if you know what I mean. The kinds of things you just look at
different categories in different ways.
If you're doing PHS work and you’re looking at—if you do enough PHS and you begin
to put your clients into a variable grid map, you're going to get a whole new
inspiration about what you've actually been doing and what you can actually see in
that. We're going to see that there are similarities in approaches, therapeutic
approaches as an example that are rooted in group variable dynamics. So, it's very
important as the future exponents of this knowledge that you do as much research
as you can in looking at variable mapping, and beginning to—I say all that, but I
know at the same time that it's a little bit laborious now. I'd love to be able to give
you the program. It’s not ready, it will be ready at the beginning the second
semester.
But I just want to encourage you, that's all. I think is very, very important that you
see that this is ultimately going to be one of the most important ways of being able
to express a general understanding of anyone, to understand their archetype and to
understand their type. In other words, to be able to recognize their variable and to
see that variable within the constraint of the decision-making process; those two
pieces of information, wow, this is an incredible, an incredible tool.
Anyway, as you can tell I continue to be a deeply excited by the level of the work
and I hope you're enjoying it. I know one thing for sure that if you weren't in
today's earlier class you’re going to love this download, so do enjoy that. And
remember again next week we go back to our regular schedule—PHS Tuesday and
Rave Psychology on Wednesday at the normal time. So until then, to all of you, you
take care; bye for now.

Lesson Four
Brain, Position and Shape 1
Welcome back to PHS. Before I actually get into today's subject and it’s something
we will explore in depth, I want to talk about something else. I had one of my
regular meetings with Asi Farran, Jovian's software programmer, and we’re working
on PHS and Rave Psychology software. You've already seen some of the examples of
that. That is, in the sense of the new Maia Mechanics Advanced Imaging, but as I
said to you the software being developed is highly specialized for and will only be
available for professionals.

59
MMAI Software
But one of the features that we were talking about today is that in order for us to be
able to do extensive research and comparative research that we need to have a
standard in terms of filtering, in terms of filtering data and filtering information. One
of the qualities of the MMAI, whether it's the PHS or the Rave Psychology version is
that it's going to have a special filtering system. And basically what that means is
that you open up the filter, a tab as an example, and you say “filter for variables”
and you indicate which variable, if you want, as an example. It will go into your
databank of charts and it will indicate all of the charts that have that particular
variable. The charts can be filtered for variable, we will be able to filter them for
definition, type, and all kinds of features that we can add that will really help us in
being able to do research. So, it's one of those features that’s going to be very
exciting.
The other thing is that because these programs are designed to the web, that is,
interconnected so that we can develop a research library, every single chart that you
work on will have a notation zone. And that notation zone begins with the
identification of the variable. It means that when those charts are shared online as
information they get grouped into their particular variable. So that along with the
various notations that are associated with it we can build up a databank and we can
begin to have a very deep professional insight based on statistical information that
we can begin to gather.
So, there are a lot of things that we’re working on. I just thought I would share that
with you. By the way, we’re working as fast as we can to make a beta program
available for the beginning of the second semester, and a finished program by the
end of the year because some of the attributes of these programs are incredibly
sophisticated and it's taking a lot of time to actually develop them. But what we do
have all of that as tools, I think that you're going to see it’s really an incredible piece
of work that Asi is actually doing. It’s very exciting.
Brain, Position and Shape
Anyway, that aside, let's get to the business at hand and you can see that we have
an interesting title here: Brain, Position and Shape. Let's enter into the story. One
of the things that we need to look at is that we need to have a balanced perspective
about the nature of the design database, which has nothing to do with the variable
nature. It’s there, obviously, but we'll leave that to our holistic classes. I want to
really return just strictly to the nature of looking at the design and what we can learn
from the design, what can be a value for us in terms of what we can bring as a
service to the client.
Now, of course, the focus of our work for two years has been on the Cross of Life.
And the majority of that has been rooted in looking at the internal. So, when we
have been looking at the influence of design information we have not been looking at
the planets. Now, obviously one of the things that you get the see in AI

60
LESSON FOUR: Brain, Position & Shape 1
programming is that you get to see that there is a real division that is established
here between these particular areas. Many of you know, many of you are
participating in it, that is, the Friday class that I do, which is Lunar and Planetary
Color Analysis, because there was no way for me to bring that in as well as
everything else I have to do in this third year in both PHS and Rave Psychology. I
introduced that this semester so that I can get the basic information out. And by the
way, if you haven’t taken it this semester, if you get a chance it will be put up for
home study download so that that information could be available.
However, it is something that we need to look at and it is something that we need to

look at because of course we cannot leave this story untold. It is, in a sense, an
interesting story, maybe even ultimately a very important story. Not for me by the
way, I want to be very clear about this, and I want to be very clear about where
we’re going now because we're getting into nuances and one of the things that
happens with nuances is that they become molehills that turn into mountains and
this is a great danger in this kind of a program. We’re first of all and foremost
interested in this. This is why we entered into this process to begin with. How is it
that we can treat the vehicle correctly? What is the best way to treat this vehicle
correctly, and not necessarily the nuances of how the vehicle operates or the
nuances of the vehicle’s form tendencies?
The Master System: The Brain System
What we’re looking at here is

the master’s system, the
brain system, the way in
which everything is organized
and the way in which the
cognition of the vehicle is
established. All of that of
course leads to a holistic
approach to the way in which
people eat. In other words,
you know what we refer to as
the PHS dietary regimen. In
other words, to be able to
follow the tone-color fixing
and to be able to indicate
what kind of dietary regimen
is going to be most beneficial
and most correct in order to
enhance the movement of
this chain of information.
Now, obviously that is of enormous importance. It's the story in many ways. But of
course it is the Cross of Life and this is the personal, this is about the potential of

61
that particular forum, its brain system, the way in which its cognition is going to
operate, that is, what the focus sense is going to be. And then of course we have to
integrate that with the life system itself. In other words, that we are objects moving
in space and that we have a line of trajectory and then we have a way to go.
Position
And of course, one of the things that we've seen is that the moment we get into
looking at the External in terms of the design is that we end up in one of the most
fascinating areas of study that will emerge and we begin to see that basically we are
a six binary or 12 environmental species. In other words, there are 12 unique
environments for us. And it is clear that environmentally the environment is
essential, that is, having an accommodating environment is essential for the positive
results of the bonding, the positive results of interaction and of communication.
So, what we get to see in

the design nodal
configuration is that there is
an environment that is an
essential ingredient in the
holistic well-being of the
life. And not only is there
an environment, but there
is the approach to that
environment. Again, this is
one of the things to
recognize about the variable
information that sort of
hangs on the edge here. In
this particular case it
happens to be me. We are
looking at the left-left. So,
one of the things we know
about the nature of this
vehicle in its environment is
that it is very much something that is going to be active in that environment. Not
necessarily paying attention to anything around it, but being focused in its strategic
approach to the environment. In the correct environment that strategic approach is
going to be rewarded.
So, when we take the Cross of Life, and of course if we look at it just as a
percentage, the old 70% business, if we look at that as a percentage what we get to
see is that this is the main construct and nothing that I'm about to teach you is
going to change that. So, I want that to be very clear. In other words, yes, the
planets are interesting. I think that potentially they are fascinating. I think that
they have a tremendous potential in our ability to understand the keys that release
what we call disease, because I think that this is something that can be discovered in

62
the planets themselves because after all, they are the filtered imprint and that
filtered imprint that can change and does change the quality of what's being imprint.
But anyway, I don't want to get ahead of myself here. So, one of the things that I
want to be clear about is that this is what the main point is all about in
understanding the design crystal and the way in which the design crystal operates.
And in that being able to see through the Cross of Life the way in which the form
system is established. If you're following your Strategy and Authority, and again this
is always our story, if you're following the Strategy and Authority this automatically
is going to operate correctly. Now it's going to take longer for this to function
correctly. In other words, it's going to take time for the natural environment to be
the prevalent environment. But it is there and it will come about as long as the
correctness is there.
Shape
So what we have here is something else. It isn’t the brain system. It is not this
master system. It isn't the thing that gives us our specific unique life. What is it?
Because of course, this is what the physical is all about. It's called Shape. We’re
dealing with a form principle. What we're looking at is a vehicle; we’re looking at a
body. And we get to see the body in three ways. We get to see the inside in the
sense that we get to see the master plan, the controlling agency, the brain system.
We get to see the positioning. But here we get the shape. We get the shape of this
body. Now that, in and of itself, is fascinating.

63
The Moon Is the Ruler of Shape
Now, of course, there is another thing that we have to deal with before we can even
get into looking at this and beginning to think about this is that first of all the unique
relationship that the Moon has relative to this little magic square. And one of the
things to see is that the Moon is the ruler of shape. I went through this and that in
Lunar and Planetary Analysis in some detail, but just the obvious about the nature of
the Moon. That is, it is the gravitational intercession of the Moon that gives
everything its shape, everything. It gives our bodies its shape, in fact. If it were not
for this gravitational intercession that is the counterbalancing of the Earth's gravity
by the Moon we would be sort of squishy little creatures and we’re not. The Moon is
what pulls us up. And it is the Moon that gives us our shape.
Now, when I say that it is the lead element in that; in other words, in so many ways
it is the surface shape of the vehicle, because we have all kinds of internal shapes.
That is, the shape of organs and glands and nerve circuitry and you name it, it goes
on and on and on, bones and muscles and all of these various things that have
shapes within the form itself. And
actually what we're going to look at here
is we're going to be treating the Moon as
the surface shape, and of course this is
going to lead to fascinating studies
because we don't yet really know what
the Moon shape is of, well, someone
who has this Moon in 41.3. Is it my
shape and in what sense is it my shape?
After all, this is my body.
In other words, what is the value that

actually comes with that? Why would
this be a different body shape? In that
sense we have 64 different shapes.
That is, archetypal shapes broken down into 384, broken down again into over a
thousand in terms of the way in which the shapes resonate. So let's not get carried
away, but it is the completion of being able to see what this whole design system
represents. That is, the design on the design side, I’m referring it.
In other words, to see this true Internal, the positioning movement and the
illusionary shape, after all. That is, what will be an ingredient that ultimately as
ingredients become integrated holistically and emerge as the shape of the being? My
assumption is at some point we’ll be able to see that there are very, very specific
qualities that go with the keying of the lunar shape. And the way in which the lunar
shape operates in terms of its relationship to the other aspects is also going to be
something that is going to be very important. Again, we’re in the infancy of looking
at this kind of information.

64
The Framework Is Relationship
Okay, let's set up a framework here and the framework is relationship. After all, all
this is information, that lineup of information that you see on the side of the
bodygraph. And to be able to understand that these operating as three separate
units have to be integrated together. And there is an agency of integration. When I
suggest that, you know you pay attention to alignments; it's very important. That
is, there are all kinds of alignment information that you can see in the graphing,
particularly when you're dealing with the squares, in that sense.
But anyway, the Earth, the South Node, and the Moon, now I am not using the North
Node because—you were given the download for the History of Geometry class in
which all of this was discussed. That is, it is one of the extraordinary things about
the nature of the Nodes and there is this crossover in which the design North Node is
an integrating aspect that orients towards specific kinds of personalities. Now again,
we'll talk about that because of
course it is a way of beginning to see
the way interconnectivity operates,
in the way in which it operates
through the Nodes. But at this point
I just want to stay with the basic
health functions and leave the
holistic stuff to later.
So over here you can see that I’ve

isolated these three elements. Now,
these elements have a very
important relationship to each other.
I think it is obvious to everybody
that the Nodes and the Moon have
an intrinsic basic fundamental
relationship. These are, after all, the Nodes of the Moon. The other side of this is
the relationship between the Moon and the Earth, and of course the Nodes
themselves in relationship to the Cross of Life. So all of these get integrated
together and they get integrated together through these particular factors.
There are going to be all kinds of ways in which we are going to look at the
interrelationship of these three factors. Because of course, the moment that you pull
the design Earth and the design South Node, the design Moon, the moment that you
pull them out and pull them together these become sort of like profiling gates in a
way, except they become examples of their particular zone, if you will, and the
examples that bring the linkage so that there is continuity in all of these things. In
other words, that they find a way to be able to operate together, the brain system in
the position with the physical shape, all of those things integrated together in what
becomes the viable vehicle.

65
So there are going to be, and I’ve laid them out here just briefly, it’s not the subject
of tonight's class, but just so that you see that. For example, you know there is a
very powerful color relationship between the design Moon and this South Node. And
it is a relationship of resonance. Now, everything about color when it comes to the
Moon and the planets, and this is the reason that there's actually a separate course
for this is that these are not
true colors in the sense that
these are positions and as
positions they are sensitive to
frequency and that the planets
resonate to the frequency that
they are sensitive to. In other
words, my design Moon will
resonate into a 6th color. Now,
the fact that there is this 6th
color in my design South Node,
there is an obvious relationship
there in which the positioning
and the shape are well
integrated together. In other
words, the body is adapted to
its environment.
This is something that is fascinating for me. I disappeared in 1983. When I

disappeared in 1983 I weighed 176 pounds. I can only remember it that way, so
whatever that is in kilos, and for a North American I was an average weight. That is,
I wasn't by any standards overweight. When my location changed, that is, when I
took a completely different geometry in my life, not that I took it, I was taken along
it, and brought quite nicely to the natural shores of Ibiza, that is my theme, the first
thing that happened to me was a steady process of losing bodyweight. I weigh 30
pounds less than I weighed then. And that's never changed since then. That is, my
body shaped changed completely. You'd have to know me and know me well to
understand how complete that change actually was. The level, for example, of fat
that my body carried was something that simply disappeared. So, the very shape of
my body, the very shape of over the flesh was different.
In other words, it was something that was very clear to me, the way in which my
body immediately adapted to its new environment. And if I look again for
associations I can go to the next level, and we’re not ready for that because that's
going to be an important subject for us over the course of this year, is looking at the
design orientation and seeing that the design orientations of the Nodes and the
Earth, and obviously of the Sun, that they are in resonance with each other; so the
potential of the proper orientation of the brain system in a position in which the
shape is correct.
I'm only beginning to see how I can take this kind of information and work with it
analytically. It's part of how all of this is going to grow in terms of the level at which
we can begin to integrate new knowledge and turn them into tools in which we have
a deeper understanding of the other and particularly something that is of concern to

66
the other. The fact is that if you get this right you do change the life, you do align it.
But it doesn't mean that you've been able to do anything for those years and years
and years and years and years of conditioning that have impacted the shape system
of your body.
And again when I speak of shape, because I've accented you towards the Moon, and
of course I see the Moon—this is the reflection, this is what you get to see, this is the
outside shape of the body in that
sense, but a shape that is very
much determined by the
interrelationships. For example,
here are the 6 resonances that
we looked at in this relationship
to the South Node over here and
if you look you can see that there
is one other that will resonate to
this. And it is the Mars aspect of
the 40th gate, in the gate of the
stomach. And when you think
about that, the alignment of the
stomach, so that that proper
shape can be achieved, once the
Nodes are properly aligned and
the influence is there in the
resonance and the drive downward. So the diet changes and the body changes, and
it is all in alignment to that position, and obviously, an orientation that is going to
enhance the function of the brain system. So these three areas are something that
is fascinating for us to be able to look at.
Ingrained Physical Conditioning in the Body
But again, in dealing with shape—let me put it to you this way. The area above, this
is where as a practitioner you are in territory where you stand alone in the
knowledge that you have and the benefits that you can provide to others. When we
are dealing with the shape we’re dealing with ingrained physical conditioning in the
body. Now this is something else. And again, we're not talking about the child that
is being raised according to their design and their PHS, who is simply going to be
able to have the proper integration and the continuity of their planetary information.
That is, these planetary attributes in all of us, particularly the not-self, there are
problems that are the problems in the physical body. This is not what we’re talking
about here when we're looking at the vehicle.
Yes, by inference, if the brain system does not operate correctly obviously, there is a
trickle-down effect and everything gets impacted, but that is not been what our
focus has been. Our focus has not been ailments, our focus has not been specific
areas of the body. What we are entering into, we have yet to bring this up to the
surface of the design and to see what it means integrated into the bodygraph. And

67
again, those integrations will wait for Holistic Analysis. But the fact is that we’re still
just getting to the point now where we’re aligning up all the information and this
here, rather than the absolute that is there in the Cross of Life that here we enter
into something very different, because nobody knows anything about this.
But look at this graphing [below]; I’ll just give you a chance to sort of gaze through
it. This is very brief information, generally perceived information about specific
planetary influences. That is, specific planetary influences when it has to do with the
body. Please understand that this is deeply rudimentary. In other words, there
have been literally thousands of years, many brilliant minds that have looked for all
kinds of association between the planets and various aspects of our anatomy, and so
forth and so on. There have been legions of people, astrologers particularly, who
have tried to develop all kinds of medical therapies and all kinds of things in order to
be able to look at people's problems.
The Impact of the Planets on the Design Side
I have a real problem with all that, and the real problem with all of that is that my
assumption is that most of this information is not valid. The reason I have that
assumption is that it is only since the advent of Human Design that planets are
associated with the form, specifically associated with the form, that is, form imprints

68
as we have in the design calculation. That those astrologers where all of this
information comes from over all of those years, they've been interpreting the impact
of these planets relative to personality positioning. What that means is that they
have been interpreting certain phenomena that they were not aware of. That is,
putting the attribution on the Moon when in fact it may have been and was, in fact,
something that was there in the unconscious configuration, that is, in the design
configuration. You cannot look for ailments in the body through the personality.
I know all the attempts, I've even mentioned my respect for somebody like
Dobereiner who did incredible research particularly into trying to grasp the impact of
aspects on physical health, there have been all these associations. I think, quite
frankly, that we have to start from scratch. That is, I think we have to take this
information and see that it truly belongs to the seven-centered astrological attempt
of understanding what they were brilliant at recognizing, that is, the imprint of the
planets. But it isn't going to help us with this knowledge, because what this
knowledge reveals is the limitation of this kind of information.
When I say limits information, I think all the planetary attributes have no value. I
think that transit information may be valuable, because transit information really
affects everybody in that sense and is not trying to be specific. But the one thing
that Design shows you is that the imprinting agency of the planets are themselves
selective. In other words, that the Moon can be in any of the 64 gates, and so forth
and so on. And every single one of those aspects has some kind of association,
obviously, in terms of the physical body itself.
One of the things that we’re going to begin to see is that we're going to begin a
process of having to do research in this area so that we can actually begin to see the
impact of these particular planets and what it means on the design side. I have no
problem, for example—I will be introducing the Rave Psychology side of the story in
this continuation of this dual program. On the other side it's very easy to work with
the planets on that side because that is the great tradition. That is, the planets have
always been interpreted for their personality aspects and so working with their
personality aspects isn’t a dilemma at all. But there is no knowledge that exists, and
you can tell that I am being very, very absolute about this, there is no knowledge
that exists that actually understands what are the true impacts of the planets
relative to their biological associations that are there in the graph itself.
It’s only when you see it within the holistic context that you see it, in essence, alive.
And it's not about that the Moon has this singular particular value. It has an
essence, but an essence that is going to be expressed through any of those 64
possibilities. You cannot simply associate the Moon to the reproductive system. It
sounds nice; I can give you a hundred reasons why that sounds okay. But you know
my Moon is here in the adrenal system [image below]. It is influencing my adrenal
system. And I have to see that what I need to understand is what that quality that
the Moon brings to the adrenal system is. And does this mean, because the Moon is
responsible for my shape, that the conditioning of my adrenaline system is what is
responsible for the maintenance of the stability of my vehicle’s shape.

69
It's interesting to speculate. My shape is determined by adrenal activity. You put

me under great pressure, what is that going to do to my shape, my body weight?
You see we have an incredible gift. We have Human Design. We have this matrix.
And what we need to understand is the nuance that is being brought, the shaping
that is being brought. What is the quality of mercurial shaping? What does that
really mean? And what's being shaped? Again, it is the adrenal system. And not
only is it the adrenal system, but as you can see from the color configuration that it
is out of sync with the Moon and its relationship to the nodal system.
We can't use, and it gives

me great pleasure to say
so, we can no longer use
seven-centered ideas. On
the personality side there
are always going to be
these aspects of the
seven-centered process,
because they were the
great investigators of
personality programming,
and they've been doing it
for thousands of years.
But this is all new. And so
there is a new approach
that we have to take it,
that we have to begin to
look at, first of all, the
shaping system in the
vehicle and what is affecting that. The example of the Mars, my Mars in the 40th
gate, the gate of specifically the stomach, and of course what that's going to mean is
that if I'm not correct, if the resonance is not there, if the life is not correct, then is
the shaping of the muscle, is the shaping of the stomach, is this something that's
going to lead to physical problems? It was, by the way, for me always an area of
physical problems. And how different it is going to be for those aspects that do not
align, and does it mean that that's a negative? I don't think so, I don’t think so at
all. I think they’re nuances.
We Are Constantly Changing Shape
But I want you to think about the phenomenon of being a resonance field.
Everything about the Nodes is that it's taking you to a place. And it's taking you to a
place in which you become a shape shifter. We’re constantly changing shape. You
don't really see that, because of course on the surface it's fairly consistent, the
blinding light of the Moon, if you will. But it's something to understand about what
happens when you go into the environment, that in that environment you may meet
very strong 5th color presence. And all of a sudden, it becomes an immune system
thing. It becomes a lymph system thing. It may impact the way in which that lower

70
tone, splenic tone is going to operate. It may heighten the way in which it operates.
And in heightening the way it operates, it may, in fact, lead to the brain system
being able to perceive in an unusual way, I don’t know.
Theoretically, I have a really good sense of what this is about, the subtlety of the
way in which we change as we meet different beings. There is a subtlety in it, that
subtlety in the change of the shape. I like big egos. Sorry, but having one myself
I'm fond of them and Alistair Crowley claimed he walked through the streets of
Mexico City stark naked and nobody saw him, which is cute. And not to suggest for
a moment that he actually did that, because I wouldn’t believe it for a moment
because he was a wonderful liar at the same time. There is something to it, not
invisibility, because I don’t mean it in that sense at all. But the way in which our
shape changes the way in which we’re perceived. And we know that on the surface,
different shapes are perceived in different ways. And that the shaping is something
that though visually it's subtle, it is reflected in the aura.
The real connection here with the shape is with the external positioning. The brain
system doesn't care about that. What gets presented in the public environment, that
is, the moment you not alone, what gets presented is the shape and the nuances
within. Now, obviously we are looking at the physical vehicle. What can we do for
physical vehicle beyond Strategy and Authority? We know that the vehicle itself can
be nurtured in a way which is going to enhance all of its possibility. We know that if
it is correct that one can begin to move towards rather quickly the environment that
is correct for one. And in operating correctly, the natural way in which you move in
that environment is established.
Once the nodal environment is established, once Strategy and Authority becomes a
pattern, this is where you have the strongest relationship between the Moon and the
Node. In other words, establishing what is going to be the perceived being, how
you’re seen. Think about muscle tone for a moment. You meet somebody and their
muscles tense up. If you’re watching it through a camera you wouldn’t notice it. It’s
not that powerful of a change in the physical presentation. And yet that tensing is a
tensing that is immediately in the aura itself. After all, this is an illusion mechanism.
It’s all one thing and that tension is felt, and it changes the way in which you
perceive that person. Even though they did not display uptightness, as an example,
you're going to walk away with the perception, boy they were uptight.
And it’s one of the things to understand about the subtleties in the shape itself.
Again, I'm looking for the language, it will come as we move along, to be able to
describe that—I don't see the elements within the body, the various constructs
within the body, whatever you call them organs, glands, cells or this or that. I see
them all as integrated objects in movement and all with a prana. In other words,
that there is a living shape to all of it. This afternoon looking at a magazine had
some, and you see these things fairly regularly now, but it never stops being
incredible, these microscopic photographs of our body of cells, the this and that, and
you see all of these wonderful rounded things, shapes, forms. And of course, these
shapes are very important. The whole receptor system in the brain, the lock-and-
key system that is all based on shape. It’s all based on if the shape isn't right then
the key doesn't get in the lock. If the shape happens to mirror the wrong shape of

71
something else it will go into the wrong lock and cause a lot of problems. There are
all these shapes.
The Influence of the Planets
I want you to take this word and take it from the macrocosm of the Moon into its
various macrocosmic or microcosmic levels and to see that we cannot attribute a
physical attribute to a planet, but we can bring its direct imprinting influence to a
particular area of our biology. And this becomes the key, because in that way we
can turn it around and to begin to focus and to begin to look at something. For me,
as an example, that's an interesting piece of information. For me to understand that
it is my adrenal system that is the aspect that is really the controlling mechanism of
the way in which I’m perceived on the outside. It's the controlling mechanism of
how my shape is perceived, how I am taking in, it is my Moon, in that sense.
And of course, what that says to me is that when I was not-self and deeply under
pressure, that the way in which I was perceived, in other words, the way in which
the frequency was put
out, was a distortion of
the potential of what my
shape could be. This is
interesting. It says the
moment that I stop being
calm, cool and collected
my body is going to
suffer. It’s pointed to the
emotional system; I have
an open emotional
system. You begin to see
the emergence of certain
things. And of course, we
have to come up with a
new way, in that sense—
for example, what does
Mercury express in this
way?
We know very clearly that Mercury is so deeply aligned from the personality
perspective with the theme of communication. It’s also interesting to think about
Mercury in its context of being, in some mythologies, the elder brother of the Sun.
But the fact that Mercury is closest to the Sun, which is why it's always had that
attribute of being the messenger of the Sun because it carries its light, what does
the adrenaline system have to do, in that case, with the brain system? And it seems
to me that the Mercury configuration is always going to be related to the brain
system on the design side. And it's interesting to then speculate about the
resonance of these 1st lines, as an example.

72
There are so many areas to go in. Again, because so much of the knowledge that
I'm sharing with you this semester is new and opens up all kinds of possibilities for
investigation and research, keep that in mind when you're making up your mind
about where you're going to take your particular thesis program for PHS. But again,
we need to begin to have a new understanding of the way in which this works. Now,
one of the things to begin to recognize is that you have to begin to see that there is
a very specific way why the planets are oriented in this way, the way in which certain
kinds of information or certain aspects are going to be integrated.
The beauty of all this, in that sense, is that we can see where it is in terms of where
it is in the bodygraph, how it functions in the bodygraph. For example, let's take the
41 that is basically what I've been focused on today. If you look at that within the
whole body graph construct, and again you see this openness that is there in this
design, then you really begin to understand the first step of being able to interpret
this. You know what you're dealing with, because that's our background, the adrenal
system, the pressure that is there, the not-self that always wants to be in a hurry
and that not-self that always wants to be in a hurry that this is the not-self that is
going to end up with shape problems, shape oriented to the dilemmas that are
inherent here.
And of course, what it means is that

the experience of life is going to
have to change in order for that to
take place. There are so many bits
of information that you can see
when you begin to integrate it. The
other thing is that when you're
looking at the various elements you
can get to a point where you can
begin to see where the planetary
elements crowd in, if you will. You
begin to look at the line, you can
begin to look at, for example, here
the Moon is in detriment in this line,
so there is another value that is attached to this. That is, that the line itself may
carry values that lead to being able to recognize relationships that leads to other
things.
The Need to Work Together
I don't mean to be so around-the-bush tonight, because I’m just laying out an

introduction for you and I don’t want to get carried away. But I want to engage you,
that’s what I really want to do with this. What's very important for me about the
work that we do this year is that my relationship to you is changing from student to
colleague, if it hasn't already, and in order for this to flourish, it has to be the by-
product of all of us working. It’s not just simply a matter of my theoretically laying

73
these things out. It’s all very nice that I can do that, but at the same time, we need
to put flesh on these bones. We need to see precisely the way in which this works.
So, one of the things that I want you to begin to look at, and those of you that have
interesting thoughts on the subject feel free to write to me. I read all of my PHS and
Rave Psychology emails on the weekend and I do read them, so if you have
contributions that you want to make insights that you have relative to the way in
which we can begin to look at the design planets, it is something that if I see that it
has real value is something that I will immediately incorporate. That is, bring that
into the discussion so that we can begin to look at this.
The most important thing, and again, this is something that is only really going to be
available to you at the beginning of the next semester when you do have the
program to work with, is to begin to do extensive work in looking at your clients and
beginning to filter them in different ways so you can begin to look at the different
aspects. I also don't want to send you off on a kind of a Don Quixote trail.
Again, the essence of our work is here [brain & position]. This is how we can really
help people. This below [shape], over time, I think will lead to an ability to be a able
to understand vulnerabilities in vehicles in order to be able to prevent them, because
I think I see this as
preventive medicine, to be
able to help them prevent
themselves from deteriorating
their form and influencing
their shape in a negative way
that impacts their relationship
with the others. That 41 tells
me a lot; it is important
information and it points very
specifically to a specific area.
So, when we begin to
understand what the key is to
the integration of our form
correctly into the illusion,
when we begin to see what
that is, slowly but surely we
will be able to see the
differences and begin to
understand the influences of these various forces.
When we come back next week I'm going to take you through what is my sense of
how to look at the filtering values that are here in the planets. But again, it is my
theoretical conjecture, let’s put it that way, and will need to be substantiated or not
through experience. There are many of you who have a tremendous amount of
chart data and background. I think this is something for example, Martin, that is
clearly up your alley, this kind of work that you have done with patients and being
able to sort of frame it in a new light, because I think that this is one of the things

74
where we can not simply say okay, here's your dietary regimen, this is where you’re
best suited in terms of living out your life and the way to approach that life.
But more than that, this is the healthiest way to maintain your physical relationship
to the world around you, because remember it is the shape that ultimately is going
to express the being. That shape is the shape of the mouth and the shape of the
eyes, and it goes on and on and on. It is what we’re attracted to, it’s what we see,
and it’s what we look at. In that sense, it is something that is really fascinating.
I just don't want you to get off-track. I just want you to keep such a thing in
perspective. But again, I've left it to this point because this is the amount of
attention it deserves. I’m doing the detail, obviously, in Lunar and Planetary Color.
But at the same time, it needs to be part of the mix and ultimately there are going to
be shape specialists, that is clear to me, in the same way that there will be positional
and there will be PHS dietary specialists. It’s not like I see that happening
tomorrow, but I think that this is something that is natural, in that sense. That is,
being able to expand the knowledge through specialization in these various areas.
It's a very exciting future for all of us.
So anyway, the theme for today is these three areas—the brain, the position and the
shape. And now we have all of the tools in place to begin our process of the design
PHS analysis and we’ll begin to look at that next week and begin to integrate the
information that is there. As long as there is no one that is going to object, and if
you do, please let me know because it's not everybody that wants to have their chart
done, I will be using student charts to look at various examples and hopefully to be
able to go through all of you at some level or another over the next weeks to give
you a chance to think about these elements as they can be pointed out, at least from
my perspective, and also the ongoing discussion about the nature of this, which is
going to be a very important part of our discussion next week.
But again, as I said, next week we are going to begin to integrate this completely
into the bodygraph and begin to look at it in terms of our approach. Okay well, nice
you’re all here. Do take care and until next time, bye for now.

Lesson Five
Brain, Position and Shape 2
I have a whole series of what I want to do as sort of special additional things for
students both of Psychology and PHS and to do these things within the holistic
environment and that is something that I plan to do very much in the second
semester. It's very important to me as I had that kind of experience with Martin
many years ago.
I had that experience with you quite recently and in December I'm going to make a
presentation what is for me the completion of my understanding, that is,
juxtaposition theory not as an open-ended theory, but juxtaposition theory that
really deals with the deepest challenges of the ultimate questions that we have to
ask about the nature of things. It is something that I work at literally every day in
preparation of, because for me it is not the challenge of sharing it, it is the
responsibility of being absolutely correct in what it is I have to say, because in fact, if
there are any of you that doubt that I'm a heretic now, you wait for the bombshell
that I drop in December, and it is a bombshell that I assume will reverberate in
many ways. We'll see how that all turns. But anyway, I digress.
Looking Holistically at a Person
Let's get on to the business of what we have to deal with here. I want to begin the
process of looking holistically and moving downward, bringing ourselves up from the
depths and beginning to do what would be our normal approach if we have a client
that is coming to us. Obviously, with a client coming to us we are not just interested
in what is their design, we are interested in their story. And we are interested in
what they are as a being.
I can remember one of my first forays into dealing with doctors. I did it in Los
Angeles. My approach with them wasn't to teach them Human Design analysis, my
approach with them was to teach them profile so that they could treat their patients
in a way that would benefit the healing process. You know, you've got a 1/3 patient
and you know that they’ve got an investigator personality and they're very
pessimistic, so you know that whatever you're going to be able to do for them that
the last thing you can say to them is I've got the answer. You can't do that.
You can say to them I don't know if I can help you. Right away they like you. I
don't know if I can help you, I think I've got the answer for you but I'm really sure.

77
The best thing for you to do is really take a look at this yourself—1st line personality.
And you give them a website or you give them a book to look at or a pamphlet to
read or this or that or the other thing, whatever it is that is going to satisfy the
investigation of that 1 and is going to satisfy the uncertainty of that 3. And you
already have somebody who is there for you. And if you know that you know they
are Generator, you asked them if they would like to do this, and so forth and so on.
One of the most important things about any service that you do with other human
beings is that if you're knowledgeable in Human Design and it is part of your work to
know your design before you deal with them, then it is ignorance not to respect what
is there. And of course, one of the most important things in being able to help
anyone is to be able to communicate with them in which there are no barriers, in
which you eliminate as much of the resistance as you possibly can, that you
understand who you are dealing with as a being. It is just one of those things to
grasp.
Importance of Communicating With Each Other
So, here for example, you're dealing with somebody right away, you've got your
impressions about them, and I introduce all of this with profile because I really want
you to grasp this. Yes, we can go very deep, I know all that, we’ll get there. But
you see, what I've learned in my journey as a lone wolf is that I learned that it is the
social dynamic that is what it's all about. That is, it is the interaction with the other
no matter how limited, no matter how varied, no matter what it is, that without it
that the life purpose cannot be fulfilled, that it is about integrating, literally, in the

78
LESSON FIVE: Brain, Position & Shape 2
world. And of the greatest dilemma that we have, I say All Hail Zeus, so that we
don't get bolted here, that one of the greatest dilemmas that we have is in terms of
the way in which we communicate with each other.
And of course when you're in a position of power and you have to remember
something, this is the responsibility that comes with knowledge. The responsibility
that comes with knowledge is how you use the power of the knowledge that you
have. You can use it to aggrandize yourself. You can use it to facilitate better
communication so that you really can help those people. And you know that if you're
dealing with a 3/5 that you're dealing with the potential that the great gift of this
being long ago was in a sense driven out of them. You're dealing with a fragile
being.
A 3/5 Profile
All 3/5s, if you meet them you’ve got all this bravado that's always there, because
they are 3s, after all, the 3 personality is as vital a personality as you can find. It is
a personality that in essence is never going to give up no matter how pissed it is at
the nature of the world and its state. So it is very good at being able to hide its
sensitivity. How uncomfortable it is to have a 5 unconscious, your concerns about
what people are going to say behind your back and you know how you're going to be
perceived by others, and all this kind of stuff.
You need to understand the person you're dealing with. You need to understand that
even though they have had a reading, maybe they've been to an LD, the fact of the
matter is that they have just entered into their process or they may be in the first or
the second year of their process. They’re still dealing with the old seven-centered
remnant of personality and all of the things that go along with that. They're not
always following their Strategy and Authority. Many people simply dabble, in a
sense. Well, I'm following it most of the time, they say. Yeah, what to say, it
doesn't mean anything. It really doesn't mean anything. It's coitus interruptus; it
doesn't mean anything. It's okay, no harm done, but it's certainly doesn't mean
anything.
One of the things that you’re there for is that you’re there as a holistic practitioner,
which means that there's no finer label that I can imagine, and I'm good at making
up labels, for this service, and it is a great service that we can offer, because is not
just a matter of pointing to the dysfunction of a “this” or “that” in the being. Rather
than out in the world of modern medicine, our job begins as seeing the whole being,
because we're here to help the whole being. We have a great advantage, those of us
that are specializing in PHS, is that we carry the key. That is, whatever can be done
for the personality, it waits for the true alignment of the vehicle and this is what our
work is all about, being able to truly align his vehicle so that this being can live a life
that is correct.
But when they come to you most often they come to you with a false premise. That
is, they don't feel good, they have concerns about their body, they have concerns

79
about their health, they have those kinds of concerns that are bringing them to you
that have brought them in many ways to Design itself. Again in order for you to be
able to work with them you do need to see the whole picture. It is a great
advantage, it is why you get holistic training in this program, it's a great advantage
to understand that this particular personality and this is a Just Now of today, by the
way, that this particular personality is going to be right-right. And the way in which
you're going to
communicate with them is
going to have to be
tailored to that in order
for them to be able to
benefit.
The Right-Right Mind
Now, one of the things

that is part of the work
that I will be doing in
Rave Psychology and part
of information that will be
available holistically is the
importance of working
with, particularly, right-
right minds, because the
right mind and particularly in the sense that the right-right and the right-left mind,
not the left-left, obviously, but the personalities that are like this configuration right-
right or that they may be right above and left below, that these particularly are
configurations that should work in pentas. And that the practitioner that is going to
be working with them, and in the case over here of the psychologist is going to be
working with them, needs to develop a group strategic therapies, because it is group
strategic work.
And again, it's very important to understand that if you have a series of clients who
are right oriented, and basically the right orientation is this part here that is the
personality Internal, then it may be of value to you to schedule these clients so that
they come in together as a group so that you can approach them in what is for them
an environment in which, in terms of the potential of their personality—and
remember it's something to really grasp that the personality crystal is designed, in
that sense, to create a learning mechanism, if I can be simple, what we end up
calling self-reflective consciousness, but literally we are designed from that point of
view to learn. So, if the information is there in a way in which the system can take it
in effectively then this is going to benefit the whole process.
And when you're beginning, and particularly when you're beginning with the
introductory to PHS, which of course is what we deal with in terms of tonal color
fixing and what the dietary regimen is going to be, that basically what we are

80
beginning to do is to take into consideration the holistic being in order for their
personality to go along with what is a very difficult and heretical step.
PHS Is Not a Diet
The same kind of person that says “I follow my strategy most of the time” is
harmless in terms of that. In other words, they're basically not-self and that's what
they are and they’re going to have to deal with that. But, if you’re really following
your Strategy and Authority and you enter into PHS and go in an out of it, I think
that this is something that is actually physically unhealthy. I don’t think it’s healthy
at all. I don't think it's good for the system at all. And I think it's something that
clients need to be wary of, that PHS is not a diet. It is, in fact, a heretical way of
life. This is really the thing to grasp.
So, one has to take advantage of what is there, the profile that is there, the mental
orientation, the best kind of approach, in order to be able to understand how to deal
with the client. And obviously, if you're going to bring them into a penta then to be
able to know what the penta is going to be like so that you know how to
communicate to that penta and you understand how to impact it. There are many
skills, so many of you have multi-multi-level of skills now. The JAM Player, the IHDS
here has really made it possible for a great deal of information to be shared. This is
really something that there is so much temptation to jump into this because it
sounds really good.
Two Heresies: Sleep Alone and PHS Dietary Regimen
But the fact of the matter is that you really have to be ready for that because it's
going to change your life. It is a heresy. The first heresy in Human Design was
sleep in your own bed. First heresy—you don't sleep in your own bed, you never
wake up yourself; game over. So it’s the first thing and it changes your life. It
changes the way you live, it changes the way you feel the other and take them in
and all kinds of things. This is the second great heresy. There’s another one, but it
will wait it's time. This heresy is quite something, because of course the key to the
success of the program and maintaining homogenization is food. Food, food, food,
food, food, food. It is the way we are
nourished, it is the kind of food we are fed,
the way we are fed, when we are fed, how we
are fed, and how we are treated. Who feeds
us—conditioned, conditioned, conditioned.
We’re trained to bow down to authority.

Those little infants, those toddlers staring up
at those giant beings, who say, No! We have
the authority kicked right out of us. And look
at this being, broad split, I look at a broad
split and I see somebody who thinks that

81
everybody's got a problem, not really them, because if other people didn't have a
problem they would be okay. You have to know what people are. We’ve been
around the bodygraph forever. I've been around the bodygraph forever. I'm about
to complete my 21st year. It’s really incredible—21 years in January. I know this
bodygraph and the story it tells.
So, you have to use that knowledge. Not simply to be the font of information; yes, I
know how worthy that is, it is. But it is the human Design system, it's about our
humanness. It is about our bedside manner. It is about our ability to be seen and be
experienced as an honest and direct force. This we carry, you carry as the best
example of somebody educated in Human Design, you carry that responsibility. And
all of that is dependent on the way it’s perceived, because in the end it may be
wonderful that the Internal is great, but the External really determines so much of
what the story is going to be. It is how we relate to the other. And when we can
grasp them, when we can communicate with them according to their nature in the
same way that we instruct anyone to deal with the child that the benefits are
extraordinary, better than any placebo. Just treating them correctly makes them
feel good.
The AI Information Grid
You'll notice, by the way, that in the AI programming, and again you’ll get this at the
beginning of the second semester, you'll notice that there is a brand-new information
grid that actually carries a tremendous amount of information now. You can see that
with the type is the signature, so here we have a Generator with its signature of
satisfaction, the 3/5, the triple split, the emotional solar plexus authority, the Right
Angle Cross of Maya, the determination is cold, the cognition is inner vision, the
environment is caves. Again, what we are interested in specifically, the keynotes are
there for you.

82
And again, this is what comes up when you load the chart so you have the
bodygraph there and you have all the basic information, so you also maintain your
holistic perspective because you get the sense, you get the transference, you get the
view, you get the strategy and, of course, the not-self themes. So, all the
information is there. Obviously, when we are dealing specifically with the way in
which the Internal operates and of course this is the beginning of our process. It is
one thing to understand the client and to be able to treat them correctly, it is also
important to understand what this is all about for them. In other words, where do
we begin in terms of how we can help them?
Dealing with the Basics
And you can see that this is where we're going to need to be able to have a holistic
perspective as well. But first, we have to deal with the basics of this. In other words,
we deal with the fact that we are dealing with a 3rd color and we’re dealing with a 4th
tone. So we have a determination that is going to be cold. We know that right away
and we know of course that
we’re dealing with a right
cognition and that we’re
dealing with a right cognition
that is inner vision. So we've
got cold inner vision.
Immediately we understand
something about this
particular being. That is, that
the cold inner vision, again
just the basics of that, room
temperature is the standard,
that is the human body
temperature is the standard.
Anything that is below human
body temperature is within
this configuration considered
cold; anything above human
body temperature is something that is considered hot. So, obviously we’re dealing
with somebody in which they have a digestive system that is overheated.
Again, it's very interesting to look at this because when you look at the first 88° of
the development of the fetus, one of the stages is the 26/44 stage and this has to do
with, aside from the obvious of the thymus and the immune system and many of the
things, it has to do with temperature control. And just to keep it simple the 26 is a
hot gate and the 44 is a cold gate. So, it’s interesting to look at that, as well is the
fact that there is all this pressure on the stomach, that there is this emotional
definition to the stomach. It’s very interesting to think about this in relationship to
the diet itself and the fact that there is overheated system.

83
There’s very much a way to see that it’s an overheated system and again that the
hot end of it, the combination of the 26 and the 44, because the 40/37 is a double,
it’s both conscious and unconscious. So, there's a tremendous amount of pressure
that is there that can be in a way in which a holistic being is operating that they end
up with a hot personality not-self driving their vehicle to be hot when in fact it's the
cold that's really good for it. In
other words, we begin a process
of slowly developing a
comparative view so that we can
begin to see where the dilemmas
are. In fact, we can begin to
deconstruct that.
In other words, here is somebody

that has always been deeply
unclear about the bargains that
they have in life and this is what
overheats their system. In other
words, that the lack of clarity in
what is their tribal relationships is
something that is bringing them a
lot of problems. All of that being
rooted in the fact that as long as they're not operating as an emotional Generator
and they’re a triple split, it is a complex triple split, this baby that was born just
about an hour ago has a very, very, very complex design. These are beings that are
incarnating right now with this configuration.
Preparing for the Foundation to Grow
Again, this is part of our process—and it's not something, by the way, that we will
complete in this year. My work with you this year is to prepare you so you have the
foundation to grow. It is the same thing that I did with much less sophistication 15
years ago when I released the first analyst who the tiny training into the world. This
is an enormous step forward where the bedrock of the knowledge is there. But
again, you have to see that at the holistic level at the ability to be able to go beyond
just saying, all right, here is your dietary regimen. You don't have to be a rocket
scientist anymore, by the way, for those of you who will have this program which are
only practitioners it’s written right there for you, it's not about that anymore. It’s
about the way in which you can take the value of this information and again develop
interpretive skills, begin to see things, begin to see the way in which this is operating
because we’re all beginning to discover something interesting. In other words, we’re
all exploring this together.
It's like being given a key to a whole set of things, and it's wonderful, you've got it
all. But, where does it take you? We're on a platform now; we’re at the beginning
of something very special. That is, it is holistic, it is more than the sum of its parts,
it is more than psychology, it is more than holistic healing, it is more than all of

84
those things. It is a unique differentiated key for each being, and a unique
differentiated key with the level of insight and practical application that has never
ever, ever, ever been on this plane. So, we’re dealing with something really
extraordinary. And it is our adventure, after all.
I plan for next year to do occasional postgraduate courses to talk about how to do
different levels of interpretive analysis, how to look in different ways, how to string
things together, a kind of advanced keynoting, in that sense, to begin to move this
process along. But it's really work for you. It is part of the excitement of having a
project this year, a thesis to do, is that I'm trying to nurture in you the explorer,
clarion archetype. That is, not only how important it is to explore this information,
but how important it is that it can be explored and shared, that we are a community
and that we are a very, very unique holistic community trained unlike any ever.
For me that’s something very special. It is why I've decided to bring together the
two disciplines under one major roof when it's really presented to the outside world,
because I think that what we have to offer is really just very profound. So, we have
an adventure, and I want to encourage you in that adventure not to sit on what
you've learned. You'll be able to do that anyway, you'll be able to make whatever
materially that is correct for you relative to the knowledge that you have. That’s not
what I'm really talking about.
The Internet Community
It is about seeing that just the programming itself, the PHS program that will be
released, and I don't mean just this AI calculation, which is wonderful, but beyond
that. It’s that it links us together as an internet community, it really does. The
program has its linkup capabilities. We will have a conference center that has a
dedicated room, a chat room like this, this kind of education room, that is only
dedicated to members, those graduates, practitioners in the clinic, that the analyses
that you do, because there is a note taking system that’s built-in, will identify
beginning with variable, the categorizing of the client that we are developing—a kind
of basic questionnaire one that obviously protects the privacy of anyone involved. In
other words, in the same way that we collect charts we don't collect people’s names,
and we don't collect where they are, we just collect the charts. And again, in this
context we would just collect the data so that with everyone working with the data,
slowly we build up a huge data pool that can be filtered in any way.
So for example, we can look at a situation where we say, all right how many people
with cold inner vision have pressure on either the 26 or the 40, and we can get an
answer. This is the kind of thing that really is going to deeply expand our
knowledge. And it means every one of these programs is going to be linked into
what is a shared database. The environment is going to include what is both a public
library where I hope to publish the PHS theses, and there will be a private research
library. In the private research library any one of you will be able to go into there
and be able to research all the data that we are collecting any given moment.

85
We’re also working on being able to adapt part of our database that we have, the
general database that we have for collecting charts. We had a revision of it in April,
so since then, whatever the number is; there are a lot of them that these are charts
that we can adapt to our uses. In other words, we can use them to explore
statistical phenomena in the relationship between, for example, color-tone fixing and
the way the configurations emerge in the bodygraph themselves. We’re at a very,
very, very, I can't stress it enough, a very exciting time in the development of the
knowledge and in the tools that we have.
So here again, I am just beginning to give you an introduction to this. We have

been very, very far away from the surface for a very long time in our work together,
we really have. And it's only in the last couple of weeks that we've really begin to go
sort of back to that surface and look at it. But for each of these elements as we go
through them, yes we know that we can tell them important information. We know
that it's important for them that when they take the food and it's getting ready to
come towards them they close their eyes. We know that we can tell them all kinds
of things that are significant in that sense. And obviously, that's part of what they’re
paying for, if you know what I mean. That is the essential information that you can
bring them.
But again, the work is more than that, and they will know that as well. But the work
is more than that for you, because of course, what we're looking at here are aspects.
And again, to see, in fact, those aspects, and to begin to grasp the nature of where
the PHS diet is going to have its deepest impact. It’s interesting when you think
about it. We’re dealing with the first element called brain. We’re dealing with the
brain system. It is something that automatically should raise an eyebrow the
moment you see, for example, that the design Earth is in the 61st gate, which is in
the Head Center and the 62nd where the design Sun is, is pointed up towards the
Ajna Center. And here we're dealing with the brain system. Now, you know the
knowing inspiration or the potential for expressed detail which are those aspects, the
functionality of those aspects is going to be deeply determined by the quality of the
brain system. And we know that the brain system is directly about PHS. This is
something that PHS can make a difference.
The Not-Self
So for example, here is a

classic possibility of somebody
who can be very not-self. Let’s
go back and look at this being
for a moment and think about
the complexity of this being as
not-self. This is a very complex
not-self that has all kinds of
dilemmas, in terms of its
identity and needing to attract
attention and not having stable

86
social integration with others and particularly as a baby because this is a baby. To
see that this is a child that with their undefined G Center and open Throat, that the
first thing they're going to get is the breast and warm milk. And you know that all of
these babies coming in are doomed to be instantly conditioned and the moment that
that baby is conditioned all this pressure that's here—look at all this pressure—all
this pressure that is here on this mental system, this pressure that is here
encapsulated in the sense of the
efficiency of the brain system,
that if this person is not-self
amongst many other things, this
brain pressure, all this mental
pressure I should say, could lead
to let's say headaches. It is
something that would be
interesting to know.
And it would be something that

would be interesting to know in
terms of what is the impact of
PHS on somebody who's been
not-self, this configuration, what
would this child's development of
their ability here, their inspired
potential of knowing here, and their ability to concretize and expressed details, what
level of competence would there be if rather than that warm milk, that it was just
slightly below body temperature. It doesn’t have to be cold; but oh, what a blessing
it would be for this child and for the development of what will be their brain mind
system.
Building the Knowledge
So there are many things that we can see here that we can begin to grasp in terms
of the roots of it or the impact of it. We can begin to string things together. The
fact that we see something does not make it a rule. Please do not in any way jump
to that kind of conclusion, because we can't do that. It is why I have set this all up
so that we can go through this process as the first generation of practitioners who
are basically going to be the founders of this holistic approach that together in our
work, that all of us become greater than the sum of our parts. Some may contribute
a great deal; some may contribute little; that is not the point. The whole is greater
than the sum of our parts is going to be a great wealth of information that because
we can from the very beginning input it into a matrix that will allow us to filter and to
research, we're going to have exciting results very quickly in our process.
There may be those of you that ultimately, the work you seek to do in our work
together is not about particularly setting up a private practice and hanging a shingle
in the holistic clinic, it may be doing research. And it is something that there is a

87
future opening up for us in terms of how exciting it is to build and concretize this
knowledge, and concretize it through experience.
It leads me to my comment before about the other. I am somebody who is, as I

said that I've gone through a great learning curve in my life. I realize that it is
always essential for me that there has to be those others in my life. I’m a 5/1, I’m a
transpersonal being. I’m a messenger. There has to be somebody that not only
hears the Clarion, but inspires the Clarion. It is something that I've seen over the
years in my relationship mostly with students. Often it's not the obvious, sometimes
it's just something that happens in a class. But, the fact of the matter is that I've
learned to grasp that the quality of one's interactions, the spirit of one's reason, in
the sense of one's geometry is pulling one together, that all of this makes an
enormous difference in one's life.
The Nodes Guide Us
This is what the Nodes represent for us. After all these years of distilling the
knowledge and looking at it this way and that way, I have finally rested on my
favorite place, and it is the Nodes. I touch the totality through the Nodes. It is
something that is really spectacular, and it is the Nodes that as instruments within
the maya, these are the instruments that truly guide us. And we know that on the
design side that this instrument is something that is very special. And it is more
than simply that. It says that there is a good place for you, that there is a right
place for you, but it says other things. And we know that. We know it says other
things, because we know that it will express ultimately, what is the approach. This is
going to be a body that in relationship to the other becomes active. It may have a
right brain system that is passive, but it is going to have an active body. So, it sets
us up to be able to see something about them beyond this.
I love these three oppositions, the 43/23, the 20/34 and here the 40/37. I have a
deep connection to all of them. That is, I am a 43/23, I have the 20, I don’t have
the 34, I have the 40, I don’t have the 37 so I’ve experience them a lot in my life.
The 40/37 is something that is really quite amazing and I think that it is only when
you have the chance to listen to my mystical work on this channel to begin to grasp
what kind of thing it brings to us in this life. And that it is out of this tribal principle
of loyalty that is the bedrock of individual freedom. And it is only with the
permission of the group that the individual can be free, and it is only the free
individual that can truly embrace the group.
It is something to understand about us as beings that we must deal with the other,
we must. And of course, that brings many things. That is, it brings the demand that
we are aware, that we recognize and understand the impact of the other on our
lives. It is one thing to be able to tell our client that this is the correct way for you
to eat, that is, you need to establish your life around eating food that is below room
temperature and that it means that you have to take out of your life those things
that are hot, that it's very important for you to take them out of your life. But, that's
not where you stop.

88
A Cave Person
The fact that you know that this is a cave person that has an active body it means
that it's very important for them to have an environment where they can be busy.
And these are beings that need an environment where they can be busy, it's very
important for them that they’re not chained down. This is the kind of person that if
you put them in a cave like in an office but your chain them to their desk this is a
horror for them. And of course, we know that.
This is a triple split. This is a being that in order to have any clarity needs to be able
to move through auras, needs to be in movement, needs activity, needs action. Yet,
at the same time, what we learn from this is that one has to be careful that being
active in the outside world is going to be a real disadvantage for this person.
Because the fact of the

matter is that if you go
really deep into their
nature, what you're looking
at is that holistically
speaking three parts of
their nature is right and the
only left aspect they have
is this active vehicle, but
this active vehicle that
needs to be active when
it's within its cave, when
it’s within its environment.
Remember, for cave people
it’s very important for them
that there is only one door.
This is when they are at
their best. So, the
moment that they translate
the active body that they have to run around and do things on the outside that's
really a problem for them. And remember, that when we're looking here we also
always have the material concerns. That is, the material well-being is something
that is established by the alignment of your design Nodes, what is correct for you,
the direction that is correct.
So, advice for somebody like this, because you know they're a triple split and you
know that it takes them time to work things out and they’re emotional and they have
this active cave body, is that they need to have a work environment where there's
many other people, an open work environment where there's other people, where
it's okay for them to move around, where it's okay for them to mingle, to go in and
out and all these other things. This is something that is going to be very important.
The dilemma is that that shared space, ideally should only have one real exit. And

89
that can be an environment where for example there is a group space and there's an
office for the manager or the boss and everybody else is a shared space and then
there's the exit. That would qualify as a cave, theoretically in that sense.
A New Breed of Holistic Healer
But again, I'm just playing so I can give you a sense of the various ways you can
slowly, because I want you to begin looking this way, I want you to get out of being
in the microscope. I know it's exciting, and there's a great deal of work that
continues and needs to be done with the microscope, but nonetheless it's time for us
to come back up to the surface and see how we bring this stuff with us and how it
relates so that we can be a holistic practitioner, who doesn't just say okay, cold,
close your eyes, because people are going to find out those kinds of things. It’s not
meant to be a secret, but it doesn't mean that they know really what it means and it
doesn't mean that have any support in that. And it doesn't mean that they
themselves have support in their own process or how their own process leads them
to be able to do this correctly, they don’t. That’s what a practitioner is for. I want
you to care for their being. I don't want you to be a dispenser of just a prescription.
This is my dream, or vision is a better word in that sense, it’s less dramatic. It is my
vision of what the Practitioner and the Rave Psychologist represent as a new breed of
holistic healer, that we really do grasp the being, and that we do understand that
when we talk about elements that we can relate those elements to aspects of what
we know so deeply which is the surface and what is so important for them being
because it is their surface. PHS is going to bring them a clearer mind, more
inspiration, and easier ability to be able to express themselves. Operating correctly
according to their Strategy and Authority is going to bring them into an environment
that is healthy for them to be in as a triple split, and so forth and so on. And of
course, being able to guide them with that information, it is invaluable.
And it's about constantly looking to see how you take the information and you bring
it back to the holistic surface. Oh yes, I know, we’re design oriented, all of that is
true and we do not leave it behind in doing so. But we make sense out of it for the
client, and we begin to expand the depth of the science itself. In other words, the
better you are at being able to speculate, and again speculate is the word, the better
you are at being able to speculate about associations in the bodygraph to what you
see in the AI information base, this is what we're going to build our science on
because we will begin to see our patterns or not. The fact that you may see it a few
times in the end may have to do with your fractal line and what you get to see and
not necessarily what it really is. It will take time, but as each chart is investigated,
as each basic background is established so that we have a filtering system, we get
more and more depth in the tools that we have and the comparisons that we have,
to begin to find what is really going on in those relationships.
And of course, we come to the great enigma. It is and it isn’t, I don’t mean to make
that all too dramatic. It’s clear to me, it’s why I talked about looking at various
biological associations, looking at various ways that we can go beyond the surface

90
that we all well know, there are many associations that are there, whether the
stomach and so forth and so on and all of these things that we know that are there.
We talk about the thyroids and this and that, the whole endocrine system, the
lymphatic system, the nervous system, we have these things integrated into Design,
but there are other areas.
The Shaping of the Form
What is important for us to begin to see is what the relationship is of this particular
aspect to holistically the way in which the vehicle operates. In other words, here, for
example [image below], we have this stomach and this stomach is—pardon me the
stomach is the lunar stomach. My early opening up to you about this is about
understanding that the planetary information literally represents the shaping of the
form, physically speaking. And not just simply the shaping of it but the potential
within the shaping, that is, to have a strong heart or a strong stomach, as an
example, or a weak heart or weak stomach, this and that, whatever the case may
be. After all, we’re looking at imprints. If you don't have the 21st gate it doesn't
mean you don't have a heart, if you know what I mean. But what does it mean
when it is specifically imprinted by a specific planet, and particularly within this
configuration.
I have, like you, a remnant seven-centered mind trying to become a nine-centered

mind. My nine-centered mind is what you get to experience out of my outer
authority, how I teach you, not necessarily how I live my life all the time in terms of

91
my conversations with others or whatever. The seven-centered personality has

many, many hooks to it. Learning how to be always a nine-centered personality is
something that is really very new. But the vehicle has had its experience, and the
vehicle is nine-centered.
The handicap of the personality is that like it coming late into the body story, it has
to function in this nine-centered vehicle. Everything about this magic square is really
magical because it is so new; to understand that, because this is what's giving shape
to the nine-centered vehicle. This is what gives it its shape; and for me this
shaping—if you look on the other side and you look to the personality, the
personality planetary information is about range. That is, the aspects of potential
learning that are part of the ultimate mind itself, everything that’s black in your
design is who you think you are, so it is these activations that ultimately become the
bedrock of what your mind will express. This is the range that you have. Some
people have a logical range where so much of what their mind is going to deal with
it’s going to deal with logically because the range is logical. That's the personality
side.
On the design side, it is the physical shaping, the shape that the face will take, the
shape of body will take when it’s tense or not, the shape that the lungs will take, the
organs will take, and the cells will take. It is very profound, in that sense. In other
words, it really represents the wrapping and wrapping and wrapping and wrapping of
all of these components that ultimately we experience biologically, ultimately we
experience as biological phenomena as a life. It is all these shapes and we are
shaped by them, in that sense.
But it's more than that, which is part of its great mystery, because that's why we've
got colors here. This is a response mechanism and it opens up a whole new area of
thought about the nature of holistic well-being. The Cross of Life, and I'm speaking
of the design Cross of Life, is something
that "you control” in the sense that if
you're operating according to Strategy
and Authority that you're going to be
able to have the benefits of that that,
that you’re going to follow your PHS, as
an example, and have the benefits of
that.
But you have no control over how this

works, because it operates out of
resonance. And what I mean by that is
that you have no control over when it
accents, it accents. And I think that this
accenting of one element or another,
because of the way in which it is impacted by another aura, that this has a
tremendous impact on our biology or our physiology. For example, somebody who
makes your stomach muscles tighten. Let's say that there is a particular one that
the resonance of this is going to lead to this person, the moment that they’re in this

92
person’s aura that their stomach muscles are going to tighten, because again, this is
part of understanding the shaping.
The illusion is that we’re solid; we’re not solid. And we are a moving, floating thing
and we’re a compilation of many things. The complexity of the biology is—I
mentioned it the other day, I don’t know what class it was, but there was in some
German magazine in some health feature, there were these incredible photographs
of the cilia in your lungs, some muscle cell and some blood cell all done with this
super, super, super, super, super microscopic. It all looks like a four-dimensional
dalai or something, they’re all shapes. It’s form. They actually look like they were
made in a lava lamp; it’s all of these strange, odd shapes and forms.
And of course this is what we are, this is the form principle, form built on form built
on form built on form built on form. And what we're seeing here is the highlighting
of those aspects. I know that I can feel a 40/37. You know what I mean? In other
words, there is something in their form. And that 40/37 has its own unique quality
to it. For example, I can tell the difference between a 12/22 smile and a 40/37 smile
and a 59/6 smile. And boy, are they different, and that's a great place to leave you
with a smile on my face. Always enjoy our classes; I hope you do, too. Until next
time; bye for now.

Lesson Six
Vertical Shaping & Lateral Reactivity
It is quite an experience for me to do all this final assembly work, because it's really
what it feels like, some kind of final assembly work. I have been visually embracing
this advanced imaging graphing and looking at its wonders, because I see its
wonders, and I don't mean to be poetic in all of this but quite frankly, there are
moments that I have when I look at it where I realize the profundity of this science
and how fluid it is in the way in which it can be presented, how the depth that is
there in this image, we know how much information is there. It is extraordinary. I'm
going through an enormously deep spiritual mystical intellectual shift in my life. I
don't mean to personalize this, but it is relevant.
From the time that I had this experience this summer I have an understanding of
precisely the way in which things began and the way in which the binary functions.
It is; it already has, in fact, changed the way that I see most everything. And for
me, this graph is an expression of it. That is, it is as perfect a two-dimensional tool
that we can have for seeing what is the function of the totality, because the function
of the totality is experienced in each unique aspect.

95
Part of this process this semester is laying out the basic components of this graphic
so that we can begin to recognize what’s there, how it works, why things are there,
what they mean in relationship, all of these things that we are beginning to work
with, what is the base orientation, what is its value, all of these things. We’ve been
looking at the key in a way. I can't get over how obvious is an understanding that
eluded me for a long time, that the design is nine-centered and the personality is
seven-centered. And what I mean by that is not that the personality functions
through seven centers, but that the personality is locked into the way in which the
vehicle used to be, the pre-1781 historical vehicle.
In understanding that this is where the story is, this is where the key of Strategy and
Authority, the proper alignment of the being, all of these things, but if we’re really
going to understand the vehicle we have to be able to grasp this. I realized
something very early in my teaching. I was sitting in somebody's house; it was a
flat in Vienna. I think it was probably 1992 or 1993, I’m not sure which, and it was
when I first had my first basic grasp of being able to do illustrations, and I was
illustrating as quickly as I could trying to build up a library, to pull all these things
from my memory to just lay them all out so they wouldn’t be lost. I realized very
quickly that I couldn't show people most of it. That I didn’t know how to teach it,
that nobody was ready for it. In those years from 1992 to 1995 I kept very detailed
journals. And it is in my journals that I jotted down certain concepts, certain things
that were relative to information that I had been given, but I had no context for
using it.
It is so interesting for me at this point in the prana of my process that I again return
to the earliest themes that I worked with, that is, that I worked with intellectually.
The Cross of Life; my understanding now of the nature of the Nodes is something
that—the Nodes are so remarkable that it is sometimes even difficult for me to begin
to even talk about them within the context that I grasp them now. Sometimes
pictures are much more expressive than words.
The Magic Square
The heading of the course for today is vertical shaping and lateral reactivity. You
can see that what you're looking at in this mapping is that you're seeing a
deconstruction of the lunar and planetary magic square, same thing than I did
relative to the personality in the Lunar and Planetary class and what I will be
presenting in Rave Psychology tomorrow, that is, the other side of this square and
the way in which it operates differently, whether it is design or personality. There
are things in here that you can tell, I assume that you can tell, because I'm not
normally somebody who is at a lost for words, my dilemma right now is to disconnect
my journey into all this and come back up to the surface and see if I can make sense
of any of this to all of you.
The first thing is the square itself. As I mention to you from the beginning when I
first began to show you this particular model of graphing that the alignment of the
planets, the way in which they are associated to each other relative to each other in

96
LESSON SIX: Vertical Shaping & Lateral Reactivity
the context of the squares is very important. It is significant. Here you're beginning
to see, at least on the surface, because again, this is an introduction. It is not
something that I am going to teach in depth. It is something that I need to
introduce to you in order that everything is there so that I can complete the process
of giving you a holistic circle in which everything that is possible in terms of
information base is available to you.
I will, and this is something that will be clear in the coming year, I will next year do
postgraduate work and I will work with the nuances and the obscure, if you will, of
the knowledge of going into these aspects in a much deeper way. However, I also
have a great deal of respect for you as students and I do. You're very well-
educated, and you all have your own creative approaches to the knowledge and your
own experiential background in using the knowledge and living the knowledge. This
is also here as a platform for your speculation, experimentation, pondering,
whatever you want to call it.
In fact, what I’m really sharing with you at this stage is as deep as I've gone. There
is no surprise waiting after this. There is not some other incredible thing that he's
going to show us. In that sense, the great ongoing performance, some of you have
been with me a very long time, the great ongoing performance of deconstructing the
bodygraph down to its minutiae; this is as far as I go. Yes, there are the nuances of
this, but again, it's within its same frame. There is nothing new here.

97
This is the point for me of the depth of which I feel connected to this graphing. I
think in a way you can understand by the fact that this variation of the programming
will never be released to the general design public and will not be released to
analysts, it is only something that will be released to people who take Rave
Psychology or PHS. It is highly specialized program for a very sophisticated level of
knowledge and application. And that's what it is for me. That is, this is the most
sophisticated level of the knowledge. It is, as a messenger, quite literally the best I
can do. Really, it’s the only way I can express that. That is, this is as best I can lay
out the accessible parameters to be able to grasp the nature of the human being.
It's as sophisticated as any analytical construct that has even been imaginable for
human beings. I'm a deeply attached to it. I think it's a beautiful thing.
The Vertical
All right, back to business. The first is the obvious. The vertical is fundamentally
about the Internal and is very much related to the Sun/Earth. That is, it's very much
related to the brain system. So right away, you have to see that there is a
relationship that is here in the
vertical that has a translation
value, let's put it that way, in its
relationship with the design
Sun/Earth, in relationship to the
brain system.
The Lateral
When we are looking at the lateral,

the lateral is deeply related and I
mean deeply related to the nodal
construct. In other words, this is
about the interaction with others.
Let me give you an incredible thing to think about, because it is. It is for me. I
don’t know if it is for you; but anyway, what the hell, I’m having a good time. The
lateral is about our relationship to the other. But, what we do know about planetary
color? After all, one of the most important things to notice is in fact, aside from the
realignment of the way in which the planets are positioned, which of course are
deeply, deeply significant, the only other fundamental change is the fact that color is
added. That addition is an absolutely essential ingredient in sort of deconstructing
the mystery in getting to the point.
What do we know about lunar and planetary color? We know that it operates
through resonance. It highlights through resonance. So let's think about that for a
moment. Here in the lateral what we have is thematics in the way in which we relate
to others, deeply connected to our nodal, our positioning, our environmental
positioning, the way in which we're going to enter into the environment, whether we

98
are going to be this or that, for example, the rightness of the approach into this
particular environment. But what happens to our body when it gets there?
Think about what happens when you meet somebody and they are going to be able
to impact the balance that is in here. Do you ever know people that give you gas?
Or people that make you pee? Or people that bump into you, physically? It is
something really incredible to think about it. These are programming issues. Now,
by the way again, remember I am introducing this to you so I want you to be very,
very careful. I want you to have a good time with me now, because I want you to be
very careful about any attempt to apply any of this. When we get to our holistic
class next week, I’m going to bring all of this together, both sides, so I'll give you a
foundation in which you can begin to sort to speculate how all this works.
Remember that we’re looking at many, many things here. And I'm only giving you
the lateral to think about just for the moment. But also understand something that
the solid value that is lunar, the solid value that is mercurial, the solid value that is
Uranian is going to be different. In other words, there are nuances to this that are
actually quite profound. The same thing is true for the liquid or the gas. In other
words, there are going to be some very interesting things to think about in all of this.
It’s why I talk about how our evaluation system, the planetary evaluation system is
something that we need to reassess completely when it comes to looking at the
design. But it's not just that somebody might make you pee, they might affect your
blood. They might affect your pressure, they might affect your digestion. In other
words, you're looking at multi-layers of themes that resonate at different times, and
not only that, but think about what it's like, in that sense, all of these things are in
the design, after all.
The Solid
Let’s take a look for a moment

at the just the solid. We’re
going to look just for second at
the solid. We see that the
Moon is over here in the 6 and
the Uranus is here in the 22, so
both of them in the defined
emotional system. And you
can see the Mercury is in the
52, in the format energy, all
that connected by definition, all
of that hooked up into this
lower aspect of the definition.
In other words, you also are

going to see that you're going
to have to take into
consideration in terms of how

99
any of this is operating relative to its functionality within the design itself. But, it’s
also telling you something very, very interesting. It’s saying that this as the solid,
for example, is something that is really going to dominate, which means that this can
end up really being a problem. It could, I’m not saying it is. By the way, this is Just
Now chart. But I want you to begin to use your imagination.
Again, to be able to understand something about the lateral is that our body gets
manipulated by the auric contact that we have with others. We know that in certain
obvious ways. It's really something to think about, that somebody is affecting the
inside of your vehicle in the same way that you’re affecting them, by the way, and
it's not to take this on with any kind of martyr conditioning. But what is really saying
is you'd better be careful about who is in your life, at least those who are constantly
in your life.
There Is No Separation
Holistically there is no separation. That we are all this bio-body, this vast auric bio-
body that we call humanity, that all of these things are moving. What do you think
this leads to? Can you guess? How are things transmitted, physical things, liquid
things, gas things, how are things transmitted to the other? The breath? The sweat
on the palms? There are many, many things in here. Who is carrying what, what is
this messenger carrying? It’s just interesting to think about it.
So we know that part of the

way in which our body operates
is that it changes, it morphs
when it interacts with others; it
morphs. Now it can be subtle,
but I bet you there are cases
where it's really pronounced. I
really have to take a look at
mine because it was something
that I particularly noticed as
not-self is that my stomach
would bloat, undefined
emotional system, my stomach
would bloat whenever I was in
those kind of uncomfortable
social situations. And obviously
this has something to do with
this particular lateral. It’s
something just look at. But I want you to begin to see how there no fixedness in all
of this. As an example, those aspects that are there, if there isn't the right kind of
stimulation, for example, this is a 5 and a 6 and a 4, so if the stimulation is coming
from a 1, 2 or 3, there is no heightened equality here, which is another aspect of the
way in which it operates.

100
Okay, so the lateral is one thing, the lateral is deeply connected to the Nodes and I
say deeply connected to the Nodes. And of course in being connected to the Node
we know that there are going to be ramifications of whether or not there is going to
be resonance to the nodal color itself. And of course we see that there is a
resonance to the nodal color. One can only speculate that in the correctness of this
of aligning this being to the specific environment that it’s intended that this particular
aspect within it becomes a heightened function in the way in which the body adapts
to dealing with the other. It’s quite something to think about.
I'm down here in genetic mechanics, in underlying biological mechanics and there
are so many different variations in all of this, obviously. And again, as you can see
in and of itself each one of these deserves 11 weeks, if you know what I mean. It's
a huge field of study. And there are many things that are part of all that, many,
many things. What appeals to me as a mystic is that I love magic squares; I think
they’re wonderful, wonderful constructs. They were ways in which the maya was
spun into such grand deconstructable illusions, wonderful things. The keeper of
secrets, and there are secrets in it. And I am showing you the most obvious way in
which this operates. But there are other ways and in that, many, many mysteries
about what is possible in our understanding of the vehicle itself and the way in which
vehicle operates.
Okay so there is the lateral reactivity that is related to our nodal positioning and this
is basically the matrix that guides us to understanding how our body physically
adapts to the environment. And when I say environment I'm including the humans
that are going to be part of that environment and the way in which their system is
going to adapt. After all, everybody gets a balance in their design, if you know what
I mean. In other words, we all have the same grid. We all have the planets in the
same positions, the same positions within the grid. The planets themselves are in
different positions. There are
different nuances that are there,
but we all share the same
construct.
Vertical Shaping
Let’s go to vertical shaping. Think

about vertical shaping. Vertical
shaping is fascinating because it
is—I talk about how the whole
planetary thing is about resonance,
that is, the whole color concept in
the planets is resonance, and one
of the things that is so interesting to understand about the vertical is how deeply it,
in essence, resonates to the Sun/Earth. And so the nature of the Sun/Earth, the
positioning of the Sun/Earth, all of those kinds of things particularly the color of the
Sun/Earth is something that is going to be very important because, and not from the
point of view of going in this direction, but the fact that it is the Sun/Earth that

101
impacts directly the vehicle. In other words, the brain system is using each of these
as an instrument of moving its information throughout the body.
In other words, this is resonating to the direction that it's being given by the brain
system, by the Sun/Earth. This is resonating to what it meets in the construct of
what the nodal brings to it in terms of place and all those things. So, this is
something that is fascinating, because this is the brain communicating with the body.
And as you can see in the vertical shaping, because we are dealing with the internal,
and of course we’re dealing
with these three units, I’ve just
put them in that way so you
can really see them vertical and
not be confused with the
angles.
They have very unusual names.

And these names, the labeling
here, come from where I
started in my story with you
today. That is, it comes from a
very early journal of mine in
which I was working on. I had
a very strange experience with
the Voice. One of the
processes was deeply, deeply
fascinating and disturbing at
the same time, and it was the way I was introduced to the planets. That is, each of
the centers had a planet that represented it, and these planets actually had voices
and they communicated with me, they were both male and female, young and old.
And I guess it’s what people with multiple personality dysfunction or something must
experience if they experience the multiples at the same time, because that’s what it
felt like to me, it felt really crazy.
Yet at the same time I was given a lot of information by these voices of these
particular objects. They expressed themselves as those objects. I think it was a kind
of sophisticated kindergarten for human idiots that the Voice constructed more than
anything else, I don’t know if that was the planets talking and all that stuff. I really
think I was just being given a training. Nonetheless, I was given a lot of information
and I was given specific information about different planets. But for the context of
this, because I began that discussion last week talking about the necessity for a new
kind of understanding of the design planets and it led me to thinking about the way
in which I understood their mechanical values and the way I understood it years ago
and never dealt with it.

102
Planetary Values
So here is something that's very interesting. And by the way, though these themes
are for the verticals themselves, that is, each individual vertical—the Satori, the
Auric and the Equalizer—that it is also very important to see that the placement is
telling you something. That is, the placement is keying on a specific planet. And I
think the values here for these specific planets, that is, I think that they are
something that is very important. Now, one of the things to recognize is that these
planets have always had an endocrine relationship that has always been part of
Human Design knowledge. That is, Neptune is associated with the pineal gland,
Jupiter is the posterior pituitary, and Saturn is the anterior pituitary. And all three of
those, obviously, are deeply, deeply connected thematically with the brain system.
In other words, what you are seeing here particularly focused in Neptune, in Jupiter
and Saturn is that you're getting receptors that are responding in resonance to the
brain system and they are the instrument of that neural information, that brain
information infusing the vehicle. It’s quite a thing. There's also a specific value
given. And that specific value that's given, again this specific value is associated
with the whole vertical, but is most deeply expressed by this planet. Now, I want
you to grasp something about the planets and their values. Here you can see that I
have given you values for Neptune, for Jupiter, for Saturn. You've been given a
value previously for
the Moon, that is, a
focus value. As you
will see, I will give you
a unique value for
Mars.
When we get into

looking at the way in
which the lateral
configuration operates,
that's when we're
going to get to the
rest. That is, that's
when we're going to
be able to complete
the highlighting that
each planet brings.
But here in the verticals these are keying instruments. So it means, for example,
that if your Mars is part of the definition in your design and your Jupiter isn't, then
the Mars that is in the definition may function relative to what this [left red line] is all
about, rather than anything having to do with its association with this [right red line]
or that the value of this [red circle] is going to be minor, because it's going to be
expressed where it can be a key [red arrow] and this is where Mars can actually be a
key. So again, there are many, many, many, many, many different levels of
nuances that this involves.

103
The Satori Vertical: Oxygen Absorption
All right, what is this keying all about? It is about oxygen, and this is one of the
most fascinating things. Oxygen is the ultimate fueling mechanism. We are an
oxygen breathing life form. It is actually a corrosive, it's fire, it is the fire that runs
life. And how we take oxygen in, how we use oxygen is a very, very delicate thing.
Oxygen absorption is very much at the root of what this is all about.
Now, obviously there are many, many other levels of this, because it's deeply
connected to the pineal gland. And it's deeply connected to the way in which
information that we take in, in terms of our consciousness, how much of that
information is available to what is the neo-cortex. So we have very, very important
aspects of the way in which the brain system operates, but more than that,
beginning to see that as we will watch the placement of the planets in the
bodygraph, is going to be very interesting in terms of expressing where there are
certain focus points for the attention that the brain span is giving. For example, we
may discover that that ends up being manual dexterity skills. It could be anything.
We'll get to see as we begin to look deeper and deeper into all the relationships.
Again, I'm just giving you a taste.
The Auric Vertical: The Externalized Energy Field
The auric vertical, posterior pituitary—now, it’s very interesting the pituitary glands.
They actually sit in the Ajna Center and the pituitary glands are the master glands
that provide all the information to the body. So obviously, this relationship between
the pituitaries, we have that, with both by the way, with the pituitaries, with the
brain system, is something that is enormously important.
One of the things that is very

important is that this [satori]
needs to be separated from
these bottom two [auric and
equalizer]. That is, these two
here in a way are a kind of yin
and yang. That is, that Jupiter
is related to the posterior
pituitary which means the way
in which the surface of the body
interacts with the rest of the
world, build up to the surface, if
you will. And Saturn represents
the anterior pituitary that is
delivering all the message
information to the interior; that
is to the other glands,

104
ultimately to the organs and so forth. Again, movement of information; but, you can
see very clearly that this [auric] is about the preparation for the External and this
[equalizer] is about the whole Internal process. So, they are this binary, in that
sense, to each other.
When we're looking at the auric vertical, the auric vertical really expresses well what
the essence is of what this vertical represents—the externalized energy field. In
other words, these are the sources of the internalized, what becomes externalized,
energy field. This is creating the aura. It’s very interesting to think about it, very
interesting to think about the relationship of these three planets, and so forth and so
on, but I really want you to grasp what this is about. These planets are responsible
for building the auric generating capacity.
And of course, ultimately this is what is going out and expressing the vehicle or the
being or whatever the case may be. If you follow my descriptions of understanding
the nature of type, I’ve been doing this—it’s always nice for me to go back to
basics—I have been doing this Four Views course. When you go back to the basics,
type is expressed by the aura and so much of what it is to be us, the way we meet.
For example, what you're really seeing here is a refinement of that description to be
able to see that it is the combination of these planets that builds the particular
quality that will be associated with a type. In other words, they are building the
auric dimension and we know that Generators and Reflectors and so forth, that they
are very different aurically. It will be very interesting to begin to try to grasp how
that works.
The Equalizer Vertical: Internal Balance
Again, the relationship through Jupiter, because Jupiter is the key to this, again as
you will see that in each of the representations of three, that you're always going to
be able to find that there is going to be a keying element. So here we have the key
element, Jupiter being the keying element. Being the key element, the opposite of it
is the Saturn; again, posterior pituitary, anterior pituitary generating the aura that is
going to protect and shield and sheathe the vehicle. And here, the equalizer vertical
is all about internal balance. In other words, being able to allow the brain system to
be able to function efficiently and that means that there is something very important
about the relationship of the equalizer vertical to the actual Sun/Earth itself.
Let's see if we can take a look that. Here is the equalizer vertical [image below].
And of course, here is our Sun/Earth configuration. And we can see in this that it is
going to be a 2nd color. So, you can see right away that there is no direct—it’s not
easy, in that sense, there is no resonance to activate these particular components.
Again, that is really going to make a difference. If one of these components happens
to be a 2nd color over here, it would really make a difference. So, it's going to be
very interesting to see what it means to have dissonance. Harmonies don't apply
here. The tendency is that this is going to have to wait for resonance coming from
somebody else that they meet via whatever the nodal configuration happens to be.
And it means there is a limitation.

105
But on the other hand, it also

means that perhaps for example,
the fact that the Earth is here in
the 60th gate, which gives it a
connection [in the bodygraph] to
the 59 and gives it a connection to
the 6 . And on the other hand,
you have the Saturn in the 4th
gate and of course you've got this
disconnected Sun here that’s in
the 56th, so they have a
relationship to each other. Again,
there are many, many ways of
looking at how the relationships
can possibly work and seeing their
associations.
What I don't want is you to have a sense of being overwhelmed, because all this will
be integrated gradually, but we have to start somewhere and I am a 51 so I might
as well just throw it all out there at you, but like everything else in this knowledge it
takes time. What I do notice is that the pace of integrating information is increasing.
This is something that's been noticeable for the last year. So, I think that we'll be
fine being able to integrate this information. But again, it's the beginning of just
thinking about this square differently.
I don't want to put the full emphasis here, but remember I've given you two years of
Internal/External, mostly Internal. It's only fair that you look at a MMAI chart. You
really do see all the things that are there to be seen and you have a certain basic
grasp of this as we enter into it. It is not going to be a major tool for you in terms of
the work you're going to do on the surface with your clients. This is eight or nine or
ten times beyond the level that has any meaning to them, this is about your
development as a scientist, in a sense, your development as a practitioner.
[Written Question from Genoa: You mentioned an experience last summer? Would
you want to share that experience?]
Ra: I am going to share that. It is December 17 and 18th and it's called
Juxtaposition. It's a two-part lecture. I am finally beginning to understand what it
means to be a heretic. And for those who know me I would assume that you can
imagine that is a hell of a statement. I debated for a long time in my timeframe,
because I move relatively quickly, whether I would make public my own knowing
after this experience. It was an epiphany. It was already things I knew, it was re-
scrambling of the picture. There was suddenly a crack and I could see differently.
It took me quite a while and the only way that I could do that was set myself up,
that is, make it a course, charge money. I’m Mr. Correct and principled and I try to
give everybody their money's worth. And I realize that by putting myself under that
pressure that I would really deliver the goods. It's not so much what I present; it’s
what I think about what I present, where that has led me. It is two lectures because

106
it is truly a binary. There will be the exoteric and the esoteric. I will lay out the
formula, the theory of no-thing and everything. And on the second night, I'll get
myself into a lot of trouble. So yeah, I will share that one.
Internal Balance
Let me move over here just so that I make sure that I cover each of these elements
for you. By the way, relative to the internal balance, I think this is one of the areas
it's very, very important. This combination strikes me as having deep significance in
terms of the way in which the brain system needs the cooperation of the body in
certain areas. And I think these areas are in flux, because I think that the areas
themselves are rooted in what the activation is. This is the holistic job; this is why
it's so important for us. One of the things Asi and I are developing is a non-personal
clinical file notepad for practitioners and psychologists. In other words, it just gives
you a number of categories relative to the client, their birth data, the kinds of things
that are important, what their variable is, what are the basic things. If you have
them, do you know their weight, their eye color, the kinds of things that we need,
what are they suffering from, what is the ailment, why did they come and see you
and all of these various things. And to do it in a way that is not personal. In other
words, it is not attached to anybody’s specific name. It's not attached to anything
that would relate back to them so that the database is an innocent database, but it
gives us the ability to be able to codify the information and this is something that is
so important for us.
Articulating the Closure
This first semester is very important for me. It's actually here, because of course,
the second semester is in no way going to be dramatic. That is, it's going to be the
hard work of really bringing all of this together in a way in which it is a useful tool.
It’s here in this semester and not simply in this course but in the various advanced
courses that I’m doing. It's my opportunity to make sure that my deepest
understandings are in harmony to where I'm headed and that's really a lot of what
my process is about right now from my perspective.
From the mundane point of view, it's clear to me that my basic construct work is
over. I can see all of these things. I can see the closing of circles of things. It's
only natural, after all, this is the way that these processes operate. They go through
their cycles. I couldn’t have been endless; I get tired of people asking me if there
was more. It’s not about that, it is about seeing that I've reached a place where the
foundation of the knowledge can be fully and completely established and can stand
scientific scrutiny down to its minutia. That’s a wonderful place to be and this
semester is actually articulating all of that. That is, it's articulating the closure. This
construct has been around now—I started to play with this in probably 2002. This is
something that takes time for these things to realize, that is, for the knowledge to be
there, for the students to be there, for the whole potential to be able to lay this out
properly.

107
Mars
But anyway, aside from the importance of this, I do want to give Mars its due, sweet
Mars. When I had that experience with the Voice, Mars was a teenage boy and I'll
never forget that; it has always stayed with me. It can be something so innocent
and beautiful and so worthy and cherishable, and it can be also so ugly and blind and
violent. It really was a perfect way for me to grasp the essence of Martian-ness.
But there is a deeper and profounder quality in that, that is, it is a mutative fire.
And it is the heart and soul of the mutated imprint. And you can see that it has a
very special function. That is, it has a diagonal function. Obviously, diagonal
functions are quite different from the verticals or the laterals. In other words, to
begin to see the complexity that is really in there. And to begin to recognize that in
these magic squares, Mars has a very, very special place. Now that is a leading
question. Why, dear
Lord, why have you
exalted Mars over all
other planets? And in
this configuration,
indeed, Mars is exalted
over all other planets.
Human Design is nine-

centered knowledge.
And the nine-centered
vehicle is a purely
mutated vehicle. And
this purely mutated
vehicle is dominated, in
that sense; the keying of
all that can be found in
Mars. It really is something interesting to think about in terms of how exalted a
value that brings to Mars in this particular age. And it reminds me of Theosophical
associations of the relationship between Mars and Pluto. And I think that Mars/Pluto
relationships are in fact, very, very interesting ones to explore. But that given that
the nine-centered being is emerging in a Plutonic era that has been entirely
conditioned by Pluto, and obviously within the construct here we see that Mars and
Pluto do have their relationship here, there's no question about that, that
relationship always being with the Moon. This is one of the most interesting sets of
the diagonals. And again, I will approach all that next week we look at it holistically,
but I want you to give Mars its due.
I'm one of these odd creatures. I was born with a Mars/Pluto/Saturn triple
conjunction and it is quite something to feel these forces rubbing shoulders with each
other both positively and negatively. But Mars is something special. And you have
to get through that immaturity, that mutated fire to the wisdom of that arrow, that

108
burning arrow, that burning arrow that is pointing the way, literally pointing the way
for the vehicle, the body, pointing the way in that sense for the mind.
But again, you have to accept that I'm deconstructing here. You can ever take that
out of the context of how all this works in its various associations, and this and that.
But it's just to begin to ponder now that you have all of the tools, in that sense, to
be able to look at the body, to be able to begin to grasp the nature of how the
vehicle operates, how the brain system passes its information along, how the body
responds to environments around it and other human beings. It’s a nice place to be.
I will put these charts up and this audio shortly so that you can ride this one for
awhile and enjoy it. I look forward to next week, because those of you who are not
in the parallel program you'll enjoy the delight of seeing the other side of the coin.
Anyway, until then, all of you take care.

Lesson Seven
Holistic Analysis 3
Let's get on with our story, because we have quite a way to go today. Something
very interesting actually, I guess all of you noticed that when we added Dharmen’s
daily forecast to the front page of the JAM I put in this advanced imaging illustration
for the planetary data. It's fascinating how many people have asked what all that is,
and not really looked at it. I don’t mean students of PHS or Rave Psychology,
obviously there are a lot of people come into the JAM Player and see this for the first.
It’s very interesting to get the feedback from people meeting this imagery. They’re
not equipped for it. And it's something really to grasp that you have all the detail
now, sort of, and it is the beginning of working out a way in which we can properly
integrate this information. And I don't mean it within our disciplines. Please
understand that. In other words, I'm not talking specifically about a PHS approach
or a Rave Psychology approach, what I'm talking about is your level of being able to
look holistically at any human being so that you can be of service for them
regardless of where ultimately that service is going to be.

111
In other words, you know we're not here to cure simply the symptom, if you will.
We’re really here to be able to look at the whole being and to be able to gain the
advantage of the depth of the knowledge and that perception of how we look at this
being. What we have here is that we have grouped together a tremendous amount
of basic overview information that we need to digest in relationship to the design
itself. Only then can we begin to take a holistic view and begin to wonder about this
being, the way they operate, the way they could operate. Remember that we’re in a
very, very privileged position in terms of the level of the knowledge.
I thought by putting the AI box on the front page of the JAM that it would be very
stimulating for people. It's not that alien. That is, the planets are there and their
symbols are there and most people who use the JAM Player are aware that there is
substructure and color has been talked about and things like that. But it’s just very
interesting to see how many of the questions were “what is it?” Literally; it’s
fascinating to think about it. It is a different way of seeing and they're not equipped
to see in that way. And I was really surprised about that reaction. They really didn't
know what they were looking at.

112
LESSON SEVEN: Holistic Analysis 3
Having the Detail Allows Us to See Differently
And of course, this is the thing that we’re dealing with. That is, we have entered into
a new level, not simply that—the assumption is that we’re at this new level, because
there’s all the detail. Well, to a degree that's true, but we’re at this new level
because having all the detail allows us to see differently. We're seeing differently.
So we have to begin the process of juxtaposing our new vision with integrating the
fundamental knowledge that we have in Human Design. It's not like the bodygraph
disappears. One of the questions was “Does this box replace the bodygraph?” I
thought that was hilarious. No, no, no, it does not.
It is a database, after all. Here is the movie. We've got this wonderful movie here,
and most of us have spent our careers dealing with this bodygraph. We have our
impression of what this bodygraph is going to say to us. How can we expand upon
what the basic language of this graph is about? Pardon me if I seem to be
regressing in terms of looking at a bodygraph, but again, I want to build the
foundation for a holistic approach and we have to begin with what it is that we are
familiar with.
The Holistic Being Is a Frequency
What are we familiar with? The first thing that we have to deal with is of course that
we’re very familiar with the fact that when we're dealing with a holistic being, that
the holistic being is a frequency. Hold that sound bite, because really, the very
beginning of being able to heal somebody is to understand that it's not about their
flesh and their bone and their genes. What you have to heal is their frequency. You
have to think about that very deeply, because it's about as profound as I can get in
terms of what I can share with you from my perspective.
It’s all frequency. The great study that we've been going through in terms of
crystals and the way in which they operate, what we get out of that is an
understanding that it is in fact all frequency, a binary, a dualistic frequency. These
two frequencies that are layered together and in a sense in that place between the
frequencies is the music that is the quantum that is the human being. It's a
frequency. This is the great wonder of what Strategy and Authority is. We know
how hopeless life is without it. But most people understand Strategy and Authority
in the way in which it is best grasped on the surface. In other words, Strategy and
Authority is about making decisions and making decisions correctly as yourself, and
all of that stuff.
But what we understand from the healing perspective is that what Strategy does is
that it begins to heal the holistic frequency. That's what it's doing. It’s changing the
frequency. It’s why it's so important for us. And basically what we're looking for is a
way in which we can take all of these aspects and bring them together into a
recognizable synthesis in order to understand the being. And in understanding the

113
being, being able to provide for them the best way in which they can attune their
frequency to what is correct for them.
So what do we see? I have been looking at bodygraphs now 21 years in January. I

cannot tell you how much incredible pleasure it has given me over all these years
and I'm sure that is true for most of you. It is a fantastic thing to look at. And the
longer you look at it and the deeper your knowledge the more you see there. It's
not like the surface of Human Design has been presented for the last 20 years
without advanced imaging lacked anything, in the sense that whatever is necessary
for the story of the surface has always been there, because this is where the life is
going to be lived. AI is not about the surface. Yes, it has to deal with the surface,
always, but it isn't, we know that. It's about going down deep and seeing how things
should, could, might work if the being could be correct.
A Powerful Split Definition
So, let's begin. We always begin with the obvious. The obvious is that we're dealing
with a very, very powerful split definition. And when I say very powerful, I mean the
split is powerful. That is, you've got this tremendous tension that is there between
three centers defined above all rooted in a pressure. These four motors and the
spleen below and this open G Center stuck in the middle. So you know that there is
in an enormous amount of pressure this here in this particular design. And what we

114
know about split definitions is that everything in a split definition’s life is marked by
the bridge. And here we have an extreme example.
By the way, if you’re interested in where this chart comes from it was a Just Now
chart of a couple of weeks ago, one of these charts that I have been using as I’ve
been illustrating all this. So, it is literally a new child in the world, ideal for this level
of understanding. Remember, you're the ones, ultimately, who are going to be best
equipped to be able to guide parents as to how to recognize and be of value to their
children aside from what you can do for them. In other words, this is as deep a
holistic understanding of the other as we can grasp, and being able to have such an
insight when dealing with a child, newborn, it is fantastic to have such a gift.
Understand the Being as Not-Self
We know right away that on the surface, because everything is on the surface and
we can't go to what is the root of our holistic view here until we grasp what is here in
this design, and we understand this being as not-self. And boy, can you ever see it,
because there is only one. There is only one in this very fixed, highly pressured
being, there is only one. And this becomes the whole focus of the life. And we know
that this is a being that is under an enormous amount of pressure. Look at this
emotional system. Talk about an emotional system that is cranked to the max. And
look at the entry points, unconscious, and all of these activations in here, and all of it
connected to the ego, the sacral, and the root.
What do we have? We had this

focused struggler for intimacy, the
tribe and always looking for that
mutative romantic social
connection, looking for love,
always, and it’s never quite right.
And this, it looks nice going
straight down like that doesn't it?
But it isn't. It's difficult. Logical
inspiration and abstract
conceptualizing, the answers are
unconscious, the 56 is
unconscious. Human beings have
a deep handicap. I can tell
precisely what kind of person this
is, I really can. I already feel
them. And I can already feel what the disarray is in their process. And remember
that this is what we deal with. We deal with those that are just giving up the
addiction of homogenization. And any of you who know anything about addiction
know that you don't just give it up. It is a battle, this not-self.
We need to discover something. We need to go deep within this being in order to

find out not what's wrong with them. I can give you that in 30 seconds, because

115
not-self is not-self is not-self and if anything is going to go wrong it will and it does.
I want to look at a kind of looking that launched my career to try to see how you can
make the easiest pathway available by seeing the positive of what's possible,
because this is what advanced imaging brings us when you look at themes like a
determination and cognition and environment and all of these things.
Introducing Beings to Living a Nine-Centered Life
There is so much unique potential in a being. And basically what our role is is not to
be in any sense of the word a classic healer because that is not what we do. We are
introducing beings to living a nine-centered life. The Human Design holistic clinic will
only be dedicated to nine-centered beings. We’ve never had nine-centered healing.
We’ve never had understanding of the nine-centered form or the nine-centered brain
system. There is no understanding in the world of science today that a mutation has
already taken place in the visual cortex, took place in 1781, and as a by-product we
have left and right minds, and left and right brains, or brain systems, better stated.
This isn’t just about doing what they did a thousand years ago using some system to
devise some techniques to be of value to the other. This is not old knowledge. It’s
brand new, like us. Nobody has ever had our unique genetics. We are a distinct
form that emerged in 1781. And that everything that we have been taught about
our body, about the nature of the being, all of these things are still rooted in seven-
centered concepts. Nobody even knows this thing exists except those that are
touched by this knowledge. And it's not just a human being, it is a nine-centered
being, which means it has a unique potential in terms of the way in which the vehicle
itself can operate, what we call the inner authority that is derived through Strategy.
I don’t want to go through what it takes to get this person to begin the experiment
of being correct. But let's say that it truly is their fractal and that they're ready to
deal with the ordeal of what is to be an emotional Generator, and what it means to
have the discipline to come to grips with what their true inner authority really is. But
let’s say that they’re there. They’ve started, they care, and they’re working at it.
The Body is the Key
What is the there that we can see in this particular advanced realm that we can
begin to give to them? It begins with the body. It is the body that is the key. And I
don't mean to diminish or compare the work of practitioners and psychologists
because their work is incredibly different. But the psychologist is dependent on the
viability of the vehicle, its vitality, its fertility, its creativity, its integrity in terms of
the way in which it functions that there is nothing without it. And again, one of
those extraordinary things about understanding substructure is the alignment
through the Nodes that aligns the potential of the personality to the vehicle when the
vehicle is correct. So if we are to understand beyond the obvious, beyond the
obvious of what this being needs to be told by any analyst to get them into their

116
process, what this being needs to come to grips with in terms of their split, their
open G.
The first thing is not what you would think. It’s not about PHS. PHS is the first
thing when you're dealing with an infant or a child, priority quickly as possible, do
something about the diet, quickly as possible, save that child. But it's not the first
thing when it comes to an adult. And again it is my deep caution, a caution that I
have uttered a lot over these years that I've been teaching PHS that it is not
something to be dabbled with. It isn't. It is there for those that are ready to make a
very, very serious commitment in their process, because as I have pointed out, like
sleeping in your own bed, eating according to your PHS is antisocial and will create
dilemmas because of that. Not everyone is equipped to deal with that, not everyone
is comfortable in dealing with that. There are many things.
The First Thing for an Adult: Environment Relative to Its Fixing
When you're dealing with an adult the first thing is environment and environment
relative to its fixing, relative to the fixing. What does the environment teach us?
The environment says that everything about who we are as a human being is about
how we connect to other people. There are certain environments that guarantee us
that we're going to connect to the right people, that the environment itself helps
establish the correct
parameters for our social
interaction. And not only
does the environment
include the people that are
in it, but the environment
carries with it unique
qualities.
And because of so much of

the way in which we survive
on this planet is relative to
our relationship to the other
that it becomes very
important to understand
environmentally what is
suitable for us so that we
can take advantage of it
both socially and materially.
This is something that can be very, very beneficial to somebody who has entered
into this process of beginning to come to grips with a very, very major shift in their
consciousness. That is, that their body is more important than their mind, that their
body has to be treated with the respect that they have never given it. And that the
body ultimately is their authority, an authority that is going to allow them to begin
the process of aligning themselves to what is correct for them in this life.

117
Understanding the environment is something that could be deeply beneficial for this
person. Think about them. They’re a 5/1. You can see that in the line themes,
they’re a 5/1. We know right away that they’re left angle, we know that they have
transpersonal karma, and we know that there is always going to be a social
dimension to their life. We know that as a 5/1 that they are here ultimately to be
called out to universalize. We also know that they are both paranoid and practical.
We know that they like to stand behind the drawn curtains and peek out and see
what's coming their way. And of course, the moment you get that is the moment
you also get to see one of the basic things about base orientation, the shift of the
base orientation over to the other side, this immediate alignment of the 5/1 in the
way in which the 5/1 operates and the comfort of being in a cave.
Caves
We know from PHS for example that caves are very specific. That is, what is so
important about caves is that they have a single door. And when you’re given
somebody who is a 5/1 and you realize that they're going to be paranoid having a
single door is something that is going to relax them. You put this person in a room
with two doors and they’re never comfortable. They’re cave people who like to be in
their cave. So, it’s very important for them to recognize that inside environments
are something that are going to be important for them and closed environments are
going to be important for them. And that they are going to have the power to be
able to pull the right forces into those environments and not be concerned about it.
Now again, I’m being superficial, but this is the way in which you apply the advanced
knowledge to the overview and begin to integrate aspects in it. So, for example, one
of the first questions I would ask this person is how many doors are in your
bedroom, because if you're somebody who has caves you should not have anything
other than a one-door bedroom. Now of course, those bedrooms that have a master
bathroom off of them or this kind of stuff or whatever, but if you're a cave person
and there are two rooms in your bedroom, you go to sleep nervous every night.
Design Nodes Represent Quality of Life
We’re not just healing; we're totally realigning individuals to what are their unique
conditions and circumstances, what is unique for them. And what is most beneficial
for them, because one of the things about these caves is that those caves in and of
themselves brings something else. The design Nodes represent the possibility of
quality of life, because this is all about resistance. If you're operating correctly
according to your Strategy and Authority you’re moving along without the heavy
resistance. That means that there's less wear and tear, psychically there is less
wear and tear, physically there is less wear and tear in the sense of carrying less
burdens and all of these things that go along with it.
When you bring to that equation that you have a being that is operating correctly in
the sense that they are making their decisions correctly and that they are making

118
those decisions within an environment that is nurturing and healthy for them they're
extending their life expectancy. It’s quite something to think about. Remember
something about the nine-centered vehicle and what makes it so really different from
the seven-centered vehicle, is that the nine-centered vehicle is expected to live deep
into old age. The seven-centered vehicle was built on the Saturnian cycle. It’s the
nine-centered vehicle that is built on a Uranian cycle, is built on 84 years, is built on
a full, rich, long life different.
I still have trouble looking in the mirror and seeing I'm about to turn 60, I can't
believe it. I still sort of have a 17 year-old spirit, sort of. I’m certainly not my father
at 60, whatever the hell that was, that was sort of Saturnian retro. We all know that.
We see what's happening with the postwar generation and the extent to which their
life has been extended and their holding onto their youthfulness as best they can is
something that is so obvious, and despite the fact that people like to make fun of
that, that is not correct. The fact is that we do live longer, and that we are putting
different displays on ages that weren’t common for that in the past. We’re beginning
to live the nine-centered experience. We’re nine-centered. And our Nodes are very
important for us if we’re going to be able to get out of the conditioned seven-
centered personality trap of being old before our time.
Oh, is this ever a sickness. Suddenly the clock on the dial says you’re this or that
and you go, oh, my God, I’m old. And we are a very vital long-living form, this nine-
centered being. Holistically you could bring a great deal into somebody's life when
you orient them to the environment that is healthy for them. Along with that
environment comes a fixing. I find nodal fixing to be fascinating, because nodal
fixing is about presentation, socially. You notice that thing about human beings,
what happens in their chemistry, in their energy when you meet them or what
happens to you in your energy and your chemistry when you meet them. We have
very different kinds of ways in which we present ourselves, and the way in which we
present ourselves to other human beings isn't necessarily who we are, it’s how we
present ourselves in order to benefit from an environment and a social interaction.
Resonance
When you're looking at the

Nodes, the nodal fixing is a
resonance and it resonates
here to the right. And what
that really means is that
you have a body that's
resonating to being passive,
as opposed to resonating to
being active. So think
about these bodies in these
particular environments in
the way in which they are
going to operate. In other

119
words, this is not somebody that is going to be looking for interaction in that
environment, even though it’s all around, and particularly from the unconscious point
of view when we see that all of this is rooted in the 37/40. But it is the way in which
they approach that environment. They have a physically passive feel to them. They
would never feel threatening, as an example.
It’s very different from an active presentation, because an active presentation

literally means that this form in the social interaction in the environment needs to be
interactive. The things we get to see, and how important it is for this being on their
road to perfecting what is their form to understand not simply the environment, but
why they act the way
they do in the
environment. You don't
act the way you do in
the environment
because that is who you
are, you act the way you
do in the environment
because this is the way
in which you are
designed to interact with
the other.
It's not the same thing.

It does not mean, as an
example, that this is a
passive person. But, in
social interaction they
are going to appear,
particularly in their cave,
if they are correct they are going to appear to be passive and right. You can see
that if you look above that they have a very, very strategic brain system. You know
how when we first began and everybody wanted to jump to those kinds of
conclusions about whether this makes them active as a person or passive. The
person is here [bodygraph circled above].
That’s why you have to get there. This is all about beginning to build up layer upon
layer of grasp, of not simply what the problem is; it's not about that. It's simply
about teaching this being how to be nine-centered because that's what we're doing.
That's what this is all about. We actually know what the right environments are for
us, the way we are going to act in those environments relative to others. We know
that. And for this personality that's okay, we’ll see. It doesn't mean that they're a
passive being. You can see that they’re a power house. But they’re going to have a
certain style in social interaction where they themselves mentally, particularly when
they were not-self, would wonder why they can't be more aggressive, more there;
more whatever and can feel very frustrated by all of that.
This is the way they meet the other. And what is so interesting about it is that they
meet the other through what is, in that sense, inner vision taking in the frequency of

120
the other. You cannot imagine how powerful that is. If you’re a cave person and
you're in a room and there is one door and the door opens and somebody walks
through the door, you get a take on them unlike anything anybody else can. It is
such a take. You take in so much information in that moment from them as a
counterpoint to your state in that space without them. And of course, this is going to
be a passive reception, letting them in.
PHS: The 2nd Color
PHS is the great wonder of the knowledge. It's why I introduced it in the first place,
to be able to really show that there is this deep intrinsic relationship between the
digestive process and the establishment and maintenance of our uniqueness, and
that we are designed to be nourished uniquely. So everybody has the potential of a
unique regimen in order to be able to align themselves. You can see something that
is interesting in this.
Here is a classic example of what I mean about the dilemma of adults. You’ve got
somebody that is 2nd color, that is, 2nd color internal. We've got a problem. We
have a problem right away, because of course this is something that's very, very,
very difficult to undo in terms of conditioning as an adult. I know, I watch their
progress. It's difficult to do because the heaviest conditioning that you see in the
dietary regimens is rooted in the 2nd color. Because this is the baby that comes into
the world and it already has to discriminate immediately. Not this, not that; not this,
not that; whether it is open or closed, whether they taste it and spit it out or
whether they don't let it in, they need to be honored then. Immediately the
conditioning takes over.
And of course, once that conditioning takes over it becomes so difficult for the
palette to be able to recognize what it truly just wants. This is a huge dilemma. And
you can see the difficulty of it for an adult in this modern world in which the palette
has been teased with everything. The discipline it takes to institute what is in fact a
boring repetitive diet in a world of flash and change the dish everyday and whatever,
and to know what, and to be able to stay with it.
Correctness Is Not Perfection
The commitment of an adult to their PHS, it varies, obviously there are different
circumstances and conditions in that that will make it easy or difficult depending on
how somebody’s approach to these things. But this is something that unless this
being is ready to take this step, what they don't really get is the potential of the
depth of the cognition to guide them. Correctness is not perfection. And don't ever
think that it is. Correctness is the way that you get there, this perfection that is you.
It is quite a journey. And in order for this being to get to that perfection it is not
enough that they operate according to their Strategy and Authority. It's not enough
that they embrace the cave environment and accept the passive approach they have

121
in their social dynamic because it's good for them. It's not enough, not if they're
seeking the fulfillment of their full purpose.
The Cognition: Smell
That smell, you know, the nose breathers, so much information being taken in.
Again think of this being in their cave and somebody walks in, this being who’s a
5/1, this being that has a nose that can really sniff things out, this being that
establishes exactly the right environment for them to take in socially the other. And
the smell tells them what to do.
It is what in fact that cognition that is guiding what is the inner authority in this
being. And the more refined that cognition, the more refined that sense of smell, the
more refined the decision making process. And you can't get there without the
dietary regimen, you cannot. It is part of the training of somebody in PHS to be able
to provide the support and the advice and the inspiration for those truly who are 2nd
color and want to enter into their process. There are many things you can help them
with.
But again, I want you to see that our holistic approach is about creating the first
really complete nine-centered beings. That's us, that’s how our work together, it’s
what we are. It’s what I live. It is so obvious to me that I am a nine-centered
being. The mechanics speak, and we are here to bring that, a depth of that, the
potential anyway, to the others.
I am very aware of living my environment and the benefits that it's brought to me
physically and otherwise. My PHS, I don't think that ever, ever I could have
accomplished what I have over the last several years, the energy required for the
ego drive to do this. I don’t think it would have been possible without PHS. It gave
me a new power that I had not recognized before and all of that just from calmness,
I’m a 4.
What we can provide the other in terms of their PHS obviously is so important. But
remember, the first step with your adult is to begin to see that for them to begin to
live out the power of what is there in them, and obviously you’re dealing with
somebody who's very afraid of being a failure. This is the Sun in the 32. It is always
going to be concerned. This is something that is so important to this being. And to
be able to see the richness of what is their potential, to be able to experience the
power of that, the vitality that comes into your life. All of this adds to this over all
movement towards finally getting to a place where we can begin to tackle the final
problem.
It’s Easy to Heal the Design Side, Tough to Heal the Personality Side
The moment that we’re correct here, and again as I say, I’m just speaking
theoretically, so the level of what can be accomplished as you all well know varies.

122
This knowledge is being laid out for the future and I hope that the vast majority of
people that you deal with are either the parents of children or young people that
where the design side of this can be of so much value. There is a real irony in this; I
want to tell you that the design side is so natural for children, where the personality
side is such a thing for adults. It’s such a thing for them. And it’s so easy to heal the
design side; it’s so tough to heal the personality side.
But the great advantage of beginning the experiment of operating correctly is the
alignment that comes because of the linking Nodes, the alignment that comes in
setting up the perspective orientation of the personality. Personality is something
that's deeply complex. And here we’re just looking at elements of it. But they are
grounding elements, and this is the central thematic. It's a central thematic in that
in its alignment to the positioning you can see what this person is about. They’re
there to be in their cave.
The View: Personal
And what is their view? It’s all about them; it’s personnel. They’ve got stuff they
enjoy thinking about. They’re not looking out at the world. They're seeing the world
through themselves. This is the personal. I have the same thing in my Nodes. It's
an interesting phenomenon, this
personal, you see everything
through yourself. You see the
outside through yourself. It can
be very disconcerting.
Do you begin to see what's

happening with this person?
Here's this personal view in this
cave with this paranoid looking-
out personality, and this
investigator underneath. We
never escape continuity. One of
my favorite wisdom words in
Human Design is continuity,
because you get to see it. Once
you know what you're looking at, you begin to see how these things fit together.
Don't you begin to get a sense of this person? And they want to be left alone in their
cave; they do. This is the thing about 5s, 5s by their very nature are not social;
they're pulled out by circumstances, conditions. The ‘general’ is always the theme to
understand if you want to understand the 5th line.
The Personal View Is Right: Secure Internal Environments
So what we have is we have a very personal view and you can also see that this
personal view is right. So there is very, very powerful alignment that is here in the

123
way in which this being is best equipped to look at the world to see the other. The
best way for them to have a long and healthy life and for them that environment is
that they need those internal environments, secure internal environments. It doesn’t
mean thay have to be alone. It doesn't mean they have to be alone in that room.
After all, they are designed to connect socially, they have the transpersonal qualities
in the profile, and they have the transpersonal and the receptivity that is there
nodally.
We begin to add the ingredients together; we begin to build a layer upon layer an
image of the being. And you can see them in that cave, their mind off somewhere
and these motors thumping away at something, a computer, a machine, whatever it
may be. But we also know that they need a connection that they have to be able to
leave the door open. And then we look underneath their style, the style of their
mind, rooted in fear, digging, digging, digging. A human.
Nurturing the Being through the Overall Journey
We can't do anything with this being until step by-step they go through the process,
because what we’re here to do is nurture them through the overall journey. We
have to see that there is a huge picture here, because there is a huge picture here.
It looks something like this. And I don't mean to overwhelm you in a moment, but
there is a huge picture. There is an enormous amount of information for us to look
at, to think about, to work with, and to integrate because this is what we have in
front of us.

124
I'm going to show you step-by-step simple ways in which we can integrate all. But
you have to see that it is one step at a time and you have to be able to move back
and forth to get a feel of it. And when I say back and forth, it’s to the surface, back
to this bodygraph, that we don't get lost in all of this potential detail because it's
fascinating. Don't we want to know what the foundation of this mind is? It'll
certainly be of value to us when we be begin to work with these people
psychologically and we know what themes are the themes that we need to deal with,
because those are the themes that are the bedrock of their thinking. Do we want to
know how their body reacts to the other? How our bodies are constantly reacting to
the other, so that we can be at ease?
There is just all of these things that are here for us to begin to organize and it takes
time. We haven't looked at the base orientation and the significance that that
brings, what it means in terms of fractals and alignment. And we’re not looking at
the variables. Not really, not directly, because this can only be done through
comparison. I guarantee you that one of the things that we’ll see is that working
with a group that are within the same variable it doesn't matter whether the
instructor, the guide, the teacher, the whatever is, but working with a group within
the same variable is going to create different levels of learning.
There are all kinds of things that

we need to discover. But, I don't
want you to feel that in this
moment, obviously, that there is
any way that you’re really going
to grasp all that stuff or that you
need to. After all, the minutiae
of what this is, relatively
speaking, and this here, these
are for specialized areas within
the studies of PHS and Rave
Psychology. What really matters
to us is this [red boxed section].
This is highly specialized and as
you master your own areas you’ll
be able to bring that relative
information, begin to examine
this. I hope students who take
this program 10 years from now
have the benefit of the wisdom
of investigations into all of these
aspects.
What we have to deal with now is this fundamental surface along with the bases.
Again, this is part of what we will complete in this is two-class set that we do today
and next week. Because this is where the key is, is being able to bring this
additional level so that no longer are we in a situation with a client who has already
been given their basic guidance—follow your Strategy and Authority.

125
Begin to Look for Your Environment
Okay, that's step one. Here is step two. Here are some of the things that you can
begin to do. For example, on the design side you can begin to look for your
environment and make sure that this environment is one of the mainstays of your
life. It's as important on the design side for an adult as on the personality side
explaining to somebody that in order for them to begin the process of awakening
they must first be able to recognize frequency, which means you have to be able to
recognized color transference. If you can’t recognize color transference you cannot
heal a mind, you can't. It's just too homogenized.
So, these are the themes that we can begin to introduce at the holistic level to begin
to take these steps, because it is steps, it takes time. It is not accomplished in your
first seven years. It can't be, be clear about that. You can decondition your first
seven years. But this is an enormous process if this is something that you're
adapting as an adult, that is, when you take in the PHS regimen.
You have to see something about the knowledge that I was given. Because it's so
logical it lays out into an idyllic, and of course there is no such thing. It’s like the
benefit of you being in the right environment, but you’re going to have to have damn
good discernment, because those other people aren't necessarily supposed to be

126
there. They're not correct. This is the world that we live in. It is why your own
authority is so absolutely essential, because it's the only thing that provides you with
the discernment, because you can be in the right environment, all of those things,
and still it is filled with the wrong forces at any given moment. They're not correct.
And how much of this would be so much more simplified if it operated communally
rather than operating the way it does. Unfortunately, with rare exceptions, this is
the pathway.
The Need to See the Whole Being
Your work, in that sense, aside from what you are going to do, because again when I
talk to you here in this environment I'm really not talking to you as either PHS or
Rave Psychology, just as somebody that has a very special level of knowledge in
Human Design, that being able to see the whole being, being able to have ways in
which you can offer them things that they can begin to work with that, along with
their Strategy and Authority, begin to enrich their process. This is all part of what is
there for us. Yes we can go very, very deep, there's no question. But it is necessary
for all of us to be able to see the whole being, to be able to empathize with them, to
be able to understand their process, to be able to provide them not just with the
knowledge but with the encouragement and the role model or the example of what it
can be to go through this process, because it is a beautiful thing.
So, we have a great deal of data to begin to integrate. I don't want any of you,
you’re at a handicap because you do not have the program yet and I was aware of
that going into all of this. I think it is very important that the foundation is
established for you, rather than me racing around once you get the program trying
to lay all that out. In order to be able to work with all of this it's clear that you need
the advantages of the technology. It's not far away, so it will really make a
difference when you can begin to churn out AI charts and you can really begin to
map these things out and look at them.
The information panels are

enormously helpful. That is,
the information panels that
carry all the specific data and
lay everything out so it's right
there that at your fingertips so
that you can begin to look
holistically at the being and
begin to think about them
within the larger context. In
other words, think about them
not simply what the ideal is of
an emotional Generator, but
the emotional Generator with a
cave environment to his
passive who needs to have an

127
open diet and needs to depend on their sense of smell and needs to really dig into
things based on processing things through their own experience. It’s a holistic view.
And it’s a holistic view that you coupled to what is there in the design, and it all fits
together because it is the design, it is the aspects, it is there in the continuity. It's
the beauty of coming to a new level. You have to let it emerge by itself. You'll see;
it does.
Anyway, it’s very enjoyable to share that with you. I know you'll enjoy the charts
and I am going to add, I think it was Lynda who suggested that, there seems to be
an item when I save these audios, it's called index, where you can actually click it
and for those of you that are downloading, for example, not only do you hear the
audio and see the illustration but you actually get them in sync so you see my
squiggly art moving around and illustrating things. I guess for many it would be a
lot easier so that we can make sense of what actually I'm talking about, what I’m
point at. So, from now on in the downloads I will make the index available, and yes,
yes, yes, okay, sometimes old dogs take time to learn new tricks. And so it goes.
So from me to you, you take care; until next time, bye for now.

128
Lesson Eight
Holistic Analysis 4
The LifeLine
It’s going to be nice when all of this introduction is done and you come back next
semester and you have MMAI to play with, you’re really going to enjoy having the
program. It's been a treat for me, and an eye-opener. It's really been part of the
joy I’ve had in the semester, how enriching it has been for my own awareness.
Again, I have a strong visual orientation. However, it's remarkable what changing
the ingredients does to the synthetic taking in of a frequency. You look at an image,
it’s a frequency. The density of the frequency has really changed. I guess that's
really my comment, but it’s not my point.
By the way, before I go any further, please notice if you haven't already that I
uploaded a download for you today after I did my morning class, which was History
of Geometry (1.8). It is very important information for you in terms of looking at the
holistic graph and looking particularly at orientation. So, please notice that and
when you get a chance listen to that because it's an important ingredient. You can
really see that the people next year who are going to be taking the third-year
program are going to end up having to spend a little bit more money than people
this year. As you can see, in order for me really to educate you properly I can't deny
you certain information that's part of all of this. And of course, there has already
been I think this semester 8, 9, 10 different hours of material that's been added in
order to have the proper depth. So, it’s giving me a better perspective of what the
third year actually looks like, it's rather a complex year.
So anyway, I'm really caught in that theme because I moved directly from that today
and it was a very detailed investigation of the mechanics of orientation. And in
looking at the mechanics of orientation coming to what our story is today because
we need to begin to deconstruct the nature of variable in the associations that are
there within variable.

129
The Independent Variable
Let's begin with something, let's begin with a certain understanding and that
understanding is that we're going to be looking at the independent variable. As I’ve
been suggesting to you lately in our work together is the deepening of my awe, I
guess. I have so many 1st lines, wondered for me is never very far away. I’m really
in the grasp, I think, of a kind of nodal obsession, if I can put it that way. I don’t
know if that's really true, but it's cute, but it feels like that, it does, it feels like that,
because it really has changed the way that I look at the life itself.
I’m going through a very deep process. I don't know how much of that is obvious to
you as students of mine, but I have been going through a very deep process since
this summer, a real profound transformation in the way in which I see, and in the
way in which I think about the nature of being. In many ways I'm still dealing with
my own shock at my own conclusions. Conclusions as I've mentioned I will make
public in December. It has altered deeply the way in which I look at life, and deeply
at the way in which I look at the being experience. Perhaps it is just an irony that
with my name I abandoned the solar fixation, because everything about Design until
this era has been rooted in the solar fixation—the Incarnation Cross, the Profile, the
70% of this and the 70% of that.

130
LESSON EIGHT: Holistic Analysis 4, The LifeLine
In so many ways within the context of its time it seemed appropriate. I don't mean
this to say it's not. Please understand me, I’m just talking about my own process of
being so deeply absorbed in illuminating the solar Earth dynamic and what that
means, what that means to be programmed so deeply by such a limited force, after
all, 70% of our programming. But I have changed. I see that everything, when you
enter deeply and densely into the heart of the maya, that everything about it is
about form in a place in movement. There isn't anything else. This is how the whole
phenomena appears to work.
The 70% stuff, it's a mask, after all. I always told you it was a costume. It’s a
costume that dresses up the essence of what the life is, because it isn't just about
this life. It's what makes the independent variable independent, literally. And it is
the continuity to all things beyond us. It is the continuity to the fractal, the
geometry, the history of our movement in space, the history of our movement
relative to each other. And we know truly magical things. What we know in PHS
about the External, what that means to truly grasp, to truly understand, that the
nine-centered being is deeply dependent on their environment, deeply, deeply,
deeply dependent; and not the “it” environment; their environment.
We are not seven-centered beings, these rapacious creatures that gobbled up every
environment. We’re different. We are not intended to neutralize the extremes of an
environment. We are intended to be an extreme that fits into the extreme of an
environment. We’re different. We are nine-centered bodies. It dawned on me one
day that the only thing that we have to hold onto in this Plutonian interregnum that
began in 1781, the only thing we have to hold onto is the vehicle because it's the
only thing that's really nine-centered. It's the vehicle.
If you were dealing with a seven-centered body you would never have to give it an
External. You could just give it an Internal, no External needed, any environment
will do. Saturnian, after all, is intended to have short lifespan, but not us, we are
Uranian. It is not an accident that human beings live longer. We have been in a
Uranian cycle since 1781. We have a nine-centered vehicle that's designed to live a
mean 84 years. And it is designed to do that by being in the right environment, and
by being correct in that environment. This is where it all begins, because this is our
connection with everything, it is our continuity; it is our movement under the light.
I'm no longer interested in the Incarnation Cross and the Profile. They're just
generics. I’m a Clarion. Have you ever looked up in the global survey the
percentage of beings that are a Sun in 51 Clarion, one of these 1½ percent numbers,
whatever it is? And you figure that there is 7 billion and 1% is 70 million, there are
70 million Clarions. If that isn't a generic, what is?
They are all control mechanisms in costumes. And it doesn't mean they are not here
to fulfill that and live that out, it’s not about that. It’s about understanding that this
is an illusion. It’s just something to watch. It’s a frame for watching. It's all just
framing. It’s a way in which it this vast ocean of consciousness gets squashed down
and extruded in fine little streams through each of us, just so, exactly.
With the Nodes, I can taste something that may be older than the maya, because it’s
a line of geometry, a long line that all lines go back to the same source. There is a

131
magic to it. And when you take it to the other side, this is where you get this
extraordinary process, where you get to see the inherent magic in the Nodes, the
link Nodes, the shifting, the ability of the Nodes to be able to align themselves
together, despite the fact that the personality remains isolated, confused, lost in its
seven-centered hysterias.
What we see, how we see what we see, this being in its place, in its environment
seeing, this is life without the self-reflected consciousness. It’s all it is, pure and
simple. Don’t tell anybody, but this is Buddhahood. It’s so clean, so pure, the form
in space seeing, the form in space taking in, the form in space interacting. There is
no self-reflected bullshit. There is no conceptualizing crap. There are no
homogenized brain-dead systems. The program would have been happy if this were
what the program was about. And of course it's not. Oh, it is the independent
variable. And it is along this variable that you meet the geometries that are there
for you, that are there in this vast network that is hidden deep beneath the genetic
imperative, beneath the seduction of your openness in your hanging gates, and oh
boy is that a seduction that denies us the possibility of being able to see how we are
connected.
The Independent Variable Provides Our Way of Interacting with Others
Variables; there are 16, there are 16 departments, let's call them departments. This
morning I called them families, but that gets a little genetic for me; departments. I
want you to understand something about variable connectivity. Variable connectivity
has to do with communication. Everything about the Nodes and everything about
base orientation in the Nodes, and everything about base orientation and the link
Nodes and the way it's all moving together, all of this is pointed, and it's pointed at
one thing and one thing only. It is pointed at your place. To be correct in that
place, the form correct in the place, because the moment that the form is correct is
the moment that it takes in exactly what it's intended to take in. We don't know
whether the conceptualizing will be able to process it. What we do know is that the
independent variable provides us with our way of being able to interact with the
other.
Think about it this way. At another level base represents a dimensional quality, the
five bases relate to five dimensional fields. These are fields that literally emerge
through the neutrino ocean being filtered by our crystals. When I talk about fractals
lines, I talk about lines of communication. I've always compared fractals to like a
broken telephone, that the first person you share something with the message gets
all across. But when that person will tell that story to somebody else it begins to
break down, and so forth and so on.
This is fractal, and this is what orientation is about. And that when you're looking at
the Nodes, because it's all about position, it is all about the work of the monopole,
that when you’re looking at this and you're looking at this specific positioning you’re
being oriented towards those that both will be able to receive your communication

132
and who you are going to be able to receive valuable communication from. This is
lines of the movement of information.
The Variable Grid: 16 Departments
So think about the variable grid. In the variable grid what we have is that, in fact,
we have 16 departments. And I say departments because everybody in the
department is able to digest the same kind of information. Think about it that way.
Every body in that department all share that commonality, that they can grasp a
certain set of data in the same way. So we have 16 different departments, but in
having 16 different departments doesn't mean that those departments can ever
operate in isolation, they cannot, and they do not, because of course they have a
relationship to each other, however those particular relationships happen to work.
And in that way each of these various departments have lines of communication that
exist, ways in which communication is supposed to work.
One of the comments that I made this morning is that this is hardly practical.
Because what it involves is being able to organize a community, a community and
beyond in order to organize the highest level of efficiency in communication; in other
words, aligning people relative to each other, aligning people who are along the
same fractal lines. Human Design is for individuals. This is a science and it's very

133
important to understand how these things work. For me the practical is something
different, because what I'm looking at is to begin to see that these families have a
common root, that is, these 16 departments, that in a way there is the source of
each of them in a way. And we get to see this through the independent variable.
This is the beginning of understanding what we can begin to grasp about the
analytical value of understanding the construct. In other words, what is the
analytical value of being able to recognize what somebody's independent variable is.
And of course again, the independent variable is giving us these two basic things.
That is, it is giving us the form and it is giving us what the form is here to take in,
what the form is here to interact with. Obviously with our knowledge on both sides,
we have a tremendous amount of information to work with in any attempt to do the
analysis. For example, let's begin with the configuration that we're dealing with here
[image next page]. We're dealing with a configuration in which we have a double
right [blue circles, red box]. And what we know is that despite the fact that there is
going to be 16 distinct departments that in each of those departments there is going
to be the presence of this particular variation.
This is a kind of being. Not only is it a kind of being, it is a pathway that is shared
by many beings. It is a specific kind of pathway and it's a specific kind of body and a
specific kind of body in a specific kind of environment, and as we will see, like
everything else having to do with Human Design, the fact that we can see the larger
connectivity only points us towards what is ultimately a differentiation into the
nuances of what we each are. And of course, as we go down into those nuances we
begin to get different kinds of stories that emerge.

134
The Design: 1st Color, Right Side, Observer, Caves, Blending, Passive
Let’s take the example here. We’re dealing with a 1st color and we’re on the right
side, and here is our observer [red box], and we have caves and we have blending
[green box], and we have somebody because they are a 4th tone [green arrow] that
they have a passive approach. So let’s think about what we get to see in this right
pointing design arrow. Remember we’re not talking about the brain system
anymore. We're not talking about the personality, leave all of that behind for a
moment, okay. The only thing that we’re interested in now is the presence of the
form in space, because this is what we're getting. This is not the brain system that's
inside. This is the External, this is the sheathing, this is the aura, this is the form,
this is its presence; so, a brainless presence, if you will.
What we know to begin with is that this is a passive form. And what it means to be
a passive form is that in the environment out in the world that this is not a form that
takes the lead, that initiates, that goes after a social interaction, that they are
designed within their environment to be receptive to others coming to them. It also
means because of that that there is going to be a passive quality to the skin, the
muscular, the face, basically without tension. This is going to be one of these
vehicles that—and again, it’s something that we're looking at in PHS—one of these
vehicles in terms of the way the lunar and planetary vehicle aspects operate where

135
you can very easily see the way in which their body can be affected by somebody
else, how quickly they can show tension, how quickly they can show excitement. In
other words, their bodies become quite malleable in being passive, in that sense.
They can actually not look passive at all because of the influence of the other aura
that they’re dealing with. Again, it will depend on their particular sensitivities, and
so forth and so on.
Caves
So we have this passive presence and a presence in caves. Now, caves are going to
be very, very important for this person. And what I mean by caves, for those of you
on the personality side, the cave basically is that these people function best in secure
environments and the healthiest secure environment for them is a room with one
door. And again, for those that are cave beings, cave environments as opposed to
PHS, how essential for them that as children, as an example, that they're not
tormented by having two doors. These are the children that there are ghosts, there
are demons, they have nightmares, there's a lot of fear in their lives, and they deal
psychologically with a lot of fear. This environment is a very, very specific
environment.
The other thing it says is that the only way that this person can really handle
somebody else is when it is a very limited interaction in the sense that there's not a
lot of background disturbance or disruption. In other words, this is somebody who is
always going to be healthier dealing with people in secure environments. The
environment is something that's going to become very important for them. They are
designed to be a blending observer. So we have a passive blending observer who is
best in secure environments. Oh boy, do we know a lot about this form now. We
really do, because the Nodes are what present you in the world. This is how you’re
being presented.
Orientation
Now, along with that is an orientation. And again, I won’t go into that, I will let you
digest what you have as an additional download [HG 1.8]. Under that is the
orientation, the orientation of this observer, passively blending in, and at the same
time being oriented specifically. And being in this environment, by the way, is very
healthy for them. They're not outdoorsy types. You have a child that has this kind
of environmental requirement, the worst thing you can do for them is to throw them
outdoors all the time. That's true, by the way, for hardscape. That is, this keynote,
you can barely see it, but you can see it above. This keynote of hardscape, that is,
everything that is the lower color, this is basically people who are much healthier in
internal environments or where the internal environment is the dominant
environment for them, whereas landscape, the upper is obviously different, that is
more oriented towards the natural or the open environment. But again, there are
nuances in all of that.

136
But here we're dealing with something again; this is all about synthesizing out of
keynotes. This is really what the process is, in that sense. It is just the synthesizing
out of the keynotes and then being able to put that together in terms of, okay this is
the way in which they're going to be presented. Now, it doesn't say the quality of
their brain system, how good the reaction time is going to be. Many, many of the
physical things that are apart of their life, that are controlled by the brain system,
obviously that's going to play part in it, but the reality is that the way in which
they’re going to be taken in by the other, the way in which their presence is
established in the world is here.
Look carefully at your own. See the form without the gloss, before we put on the
paint job, before we add all of the suped-up stuff, before we layer on the brain
system and the self-reflected personality, just the form. And then you see the being,
because you can't miss it because it's their body you're looking at. You can feel it.
And of course the other thing is that what you know about these beings is that they
don't live in their caves, because they are not-self.
The Nine-Centered Being
I began today by introducing to you what is ultimately going to be a Center for all of
us, that is, the Center for Human Differentiation. That Center is only open to those
who are operating according to their Strategy and Authority, otherwise, you can’t
help anybody; we certainly can't help anybody. And that you can imagine that this
being is not living in their cave—if you do not have the relationship to the correct
environment, that as not-self you have to understand that that is impacting
everything about the way in which your form is operating, and it is damaging your
form.
The whole thing about understanding the nine-centered vehicle and the importance
of the Nodes is to understand that we have to pay attention to these environments
because they are about our longevity. We ignore these environments at the risk of
our long-term lives. You know, if you want have a seven-centered life and gamble
on the possibilities, then ignore the environment. But as a nine-centered being
we've got to take the environment more seriously.
I've only had a semester to teach the design External. And it is clear to me that the
nine-centered vehicle demands this. And I think that it is enormously important for
the health of the nine-centered vehicle that it is not punished by the environment. I
also think that it doesn't mean that we have to live in all kinds of different places or
move or things. A few of you were in that class in one of the Ibiza events, one of the
early times in my discussions of color, and I talked about my ideal of what would be
not a virtual Center for Human Differentiation, but of a real live physical one.
And basically it would have the six environments. That is, the caves and the
markets and the kitchens and the mountains and valleys and shores, that you would
simply build a modular kind of environment in which each of the six environments
could be present. I think that architecturally as science fiction I can imagine

137
developing architectural environments, a new kind of apartment building or

condominium complex in which it's designed according to be the environment itself,
because in fact, one can do that. That is, the mountains become the penthouse, and
so forth and so on. These things are all relative.
It just very important for the vehicle to have the environment that is suitable to it.
And of course, one of the dilemmas of all of this is that you look at family life and
you get to see that you have to begin to start thinking very creatively about how you
construct that. This is the whole thing about Human Design, it is really for
individuals. The science shows you that there is an ideal. I clearly see that. I
clearly see that you could literally build a functional and correct society given enough
time and resources and truly dedicated volunteers. But, I don't want to do that.
And I don't think that that's going to happen, because quite frankly, we're not talking
about small numbers. Because of the mechanics involved, it would only begin to
function when you're dealing with numbers of 30, 40, 50,000 people. That’s a lot
people.
So, one has to be very careful about how seriously one applies this kind of
knowledge. It is obvious to me that if you don't take advantage of your
environment, at least a lot of the time during every day, then frankly I think that
that you're doing your body an injustice, because I think it's a key ingredient in our
extended longevity and I think something that is deeply, deeply important for us.
Again, it’s one of those keys.
So, on one side we get to see the vehicle. In other words, we really get to see the
presence that is there. That is something that is very important for us, not only for
us to be able to use analytically as a tool, but again we are building a construct of a
holistic perspective, how holistically synthetically we're going to have this image of
the being not based on their genetic imperative and the construct that is here, but a
glimpse of the being based on the synthesis of what is their fractal relationship to the
whole, what is their fractal positioning, if I can put it that way. So, on one side we
have the design configuration.
The Personality Side: Right, 6th Color, Personal, Receptive
If we go over onto the other side, and again we are here with the peripheral
observer, and again going over to this side and I cannot in any way guarantee that I
can read that correctly, so I’ll just shuffle (images) along here. We have a 6-6 [next
page, red box]. We are obviously right and we are 6 and the view is personal. What
we know about this being is that they are receptive. So, right away we have a
passive-receptive. We've already seen the nature of this particular being, that is, it
likes to blend in, so it likes environments where it is not alone. Those are healthy
social environments, but again, the environment has to be secure for it. And in
many ways you turn that around. For the cave person to be in a large environment
with a lot of people, but it knows exactly where the door is to get out, as an
example. In other words, security is something that is very, very important for it.

138
At the same time, we know that its relationship in the environment, though it has a
presence that allows it to blend in, remember it’s a presence that allows it to blend in
in those environments. At the same time, we know that it is a keen observer. That
is, it really is passive in the sense that is very, very open, and as I mentioned, open
enough in which you would actually see changes in its physical response to people
that it encounters.
So here we’re getting the way in which it's going to look at the things. Now the 6 is
interesting because the 6 is very personal. So it's going to look at things within its
own context. In other words, it's going to look at things that are particularly of
interest to its positioning. And it's going to do so receptively. In other words, it is
going to do so without any particular focus. Again, what we have is the peripheral,
we have the peripheral-observed; we have somebody who's really a watcher. But
not somebody who is a watcher that is watching the other to see the other, it is
somebody who's watching others to see them in relationship to themselves, because
it is ultimately personal. This is the being. This is who they are. When you put the
rest on top, this is the gloss.
A Left Brain System
Let's go back for a moment. Okay, so we know what we've got here [image below].
And what we do know is that anyone who is coming to see us that they have to be

139
following their Strategy and Authority. This is a criterion for being able to participate
in the Center. So, what we do know is that this part of their system has to be
operating correctly, because after all, this is what it’s all about. This is where the
cognitive intelligence is that is going to guide the vehicle [red box]. And of course
that cognitive intelligence that is going to be there in terms of the way in which the
brain system is going to operate, right away we see as a brain system we've got
something quite different because we've got an active brain system. In other words,
we have a left brain system.
But we’ve got a left brain system that is still—and hear my “still”—going to operate
in that passive-blending vehicle, because that's the presence, that's the sheathing,
that's the shrouding, that is the being. Yes, this is the inside stuff; very good, okay,
okay. We know that they've got an open PHS, that it would be very, very important
for them, healthy for them if they had a desert island diet. That they've got a very
strong nose, and that their nose is very sensitive. It's nice, that nose will be very
helpful for them in their observations as that passive-blending cave person, because
they're still the passive-blending cave person, because that's who they are.
Do you begin to get it? This is what everybody gets. This is the person that
everybody meets. Oh, yes, there is this kind of brain system and that kind of brain
system, so yes, there are variations. And obviously within this there are many,

140
many, many, many, many variations, because of orientation and other things. We’re
getting a certain form style. This is the department, because these forms are going
to resonate in the same way to information, because they belong to the same
department, that they are tuned to similar frequencies. There are interesting things
in here.
The Costume We Wear
Okay, so we've got this variated brain system, but still it's a variated brain system
that is in this passive, cave blending person, who is an observer, who is an observer
within the personal frame, with a personal perspective, with an eye on what those
others may or may not be relative to them. This is who they are, because up here,
this is the conceptualizing style [red box]. When you buy clothing you’re buying
style. That is what a costume is, it gives you a style. That’s what your personality
profile is. It's your style. I'm a Clarion. Can’t you tell? It's my style. I’m a 51
Clarion, it’s my style. It’s not me.
It’s the costume I wear, or this
holistic costume that emerges in this
illusion. It’s just a costume.
And of course, the costume is like

wow, great, interesting, terrific; but,
what is the costume dependent on,
totally dependent on? Well, don't
we know? That being in that place
with that perspective [design and
personality Nodes], this is all that
the Sun/Earth gets to work with.
This is what it gets to work with—
okay, all right, I am a passive-
blending person and I like to hang
out in caves, and I like to have only one door, and I look at things from a personal
perspective, yep, that’s me; there isn't any other way. Pity the poor personality,
please. I'm cruel because I'm really laughing at it. You really need to pity it, the
poor personality. It doesn't get it, it really doesn't get it. Hey, I’m 70% of who you
think you are, right. Okay, very good.
But who you think you are is based on what? Your presence in space, your
perspective, you are that being, you live in that being, you live in that vehicle; you
go where that vehicle goes. You get to see what that vehicle sees, you get to feel
what it feels; nothing more, nothing less. This is why it's such a tragedy when you
think about what people do when they make decisions with their mind. They are
insane. Like the rest of this mad, mad, mad, mad world that we live in. You can see
how dysfunctional that is. It’s madness. Thank God that it is also heavily controlled.
That there are layers and layers and layers of this control mechanism, this
homogenized world, because it's real madness.

141
We pay the price, humanity pays the price, there's a lot of suffering on this plane.
It’s something for us to understand when we're looking at a being, is that let's see
them without all the bullshit, without the gloss, without the costume. Let's build it
up first. And don't take it personal. I mean, you know, me too, I'll take it personal.
It's just a construct. It isn't anything else, it isn't. It is just a construct. It is not in
and of itself magical. It has within it the potential for us to realize magic. But it's
just a construct. You cannot for a moment take it personally. You can't.
My whole process—I came onto this plane with a huge massive ego. And I have
spent the last 20 years, nearly 21 years of my life dealing with the idiocy of vanity.
It is so obvious to me it's just a construct. This is what it is. Here is the program at
work. Oh, boy that's the program at work. It's just a setup. It is the way
everything moves, because it is the way everything moves, because it is the way
everything moves. And you begin to see the human being without all the glitter of
the romance of the costume and the seduction of the openness, and the genetic
imperative, and all that stuff. And you strip it away and what you see is the drones
from the department. I’m sorry; I don't mean to be depressing. It doesn't depress
me, maybe it won’t depress you either, but that's what it is. Oh yeah, they’re all
different, thank goodness, you know. I mean, it would be awful otherwise. But still,
they’re programmed vehicles.
The Need to Surrender
See, to awaken you have to surrender so deeply to what you have learned. It's not
something that you need to figure out. It isn't. I am telling you that, and it is so.
This is the whole thing about the personality, your personality. All personalities are
ready, somewhere to surrender, if surrender is the truth. But first there must be the
truth. And the truth begins with understanding what an independent variable
means. It is independent. It is by its very nature the whole evolutionary construct.
And then we can begin to breathe in passenger in a different way. There is nothing
to do but to surrender so that you can see it. The glory of the true passenger is the
seeing and a conceptualizing that is attuned to their limitation. The limitation of
what is given to us in what is our orientation, what is our independent variable. And
through that, to be able to refine our relationship in terms of communication to the
other, how many people, and you are an unusual lot because you have been
educated in a very unique way, but think about generally speaking, how many
people have in their lives, any more than a handful of people that they can actually
communicate with. Think about it. Other than those of us that are gifted or take a
professional life of communicating with others, human beings don’t have this.
The 16 Departments
This is what this is about, because the ability to be able to communicate with
somebody is not about how you connect to them in terms of—oh, you have that
gate, I don't have that, but I have the other side—it’s not about that. It’s not about

142
that at all. It’s the underlying fractal connection. These 16 departments are very
special, because those that are part of each department have a unique group of
filtering. I made that comment this morning, as a matter of fact it was released
today, Quarter by Quarter is now a home study course. In Quarter by Quarter what
you get to see is the mandala divided up into its 16 archetypal faces, like the 16
variables. These are departments, these are vast programming agencies.
But what makes the variables so unusual and so extraordinary is that these are
resources for taking in specific information. And then of course, what has to develop
is the interconnectivity, the ability to move the information from one side to another.
And of course, it moves along the independent variable line, because the
independent variables will cross through and touch all the departments. It's
communication. It's intercommunication. It is the matrix that establishes the maya.
It is the way in which consciousness flows in terms of concretized as information and
communication.
I mentioned this morning how interesting it would be to look at politicians. You

know, if we can actually have very accurate birth data because again remember,
please remember, please remember, base, you require really good birth data. Let's
say that this is a politician, that that is their particular variable, it means that they
can communicate successfully to that variable group, one sixteenth of the
population. But it also means that they are going to have an independent variable

143
that is also going to emerge in four other places which will allow them a certain line
of effective communication, secondary communication in different areas. It would be
interesting to map it out, because these are your lines of connectivity.
We are bound together at a much deeper level, a level that existed before genetics.
It's our fractal history. So, the independent variable, this is where you begin your
synthesis. Analyze the form and its perspective, it’s the first thing to do, because
then you're actually seeing the life and then you can add the accoutrement. And as
we well know, because it's fun to look at it, isn’t it, that there is a lot of
accoutrement.
Okay, as always, my pleasure; we go back to normal classes next week, separate

classes. Again, I do remind you that there is that download for you, so please take
advantage of that, those of you that aren't in the History of Geometry so you’re up-
to-date with the rest of us in this process. Anyway, to all of you, do take care and
until next time, bye for now.

144
Lesson Nine
Internal, External and Shape
Welcome to all of you and to those that are downloading. I guess it’s my ongoing
pleasure in being able to see what it means to bring the database up to the same
level of value as the graph itself. It was interesting what I was doing earlier today in
my Four Views program. We’re closing out with basics of profile. Profile is such an
interesting thing to think about. After all, when I constructed the four views, it was
so obvious to me that if you were doing one of these IQ tests with what item doesn't
belong in this group, you’d see right away what doesn't belong in that group. That
is, profile is in the database. You don't see it in the bodygraph in the same way that
variable is in the database and you don't see it in the bodygraph, that orientation is
in the database but you don't see it in the bodygraph.
It was interesting to look at that from the point of view of the basics. I can
remember when I was introducing profile. I actually began to introduce profile in
America, that it was so clear to me that here you were seeing the line being drawn,
in a sense. As analytical views you look at definition, type and authority. In looking
at that, all of which is
evident within the holistic
bodygraph, what that
gives you is a decision
making mechanism.
That’s what it gives you.
It describes, in essence,
how that being can
function correctly as
themselves, but it doesn't
tell you who the being is.
That’s the thing that’s so
interesting about profile is
that it is the foundation
for characterization; in
other words, the
sophistication of the
uniqueness of our
particular presentation of
our holistic being in this life.
One of the things that excites me so much about the level that we work at today is
that for the first time the database is holding the equivalent value of information to

145
the bodygraph itself. And of course, this is where our work is in PHS or on the other
side, the work in Rave Psychology. That is, to be able to raise our own level of
information utilization out of the database to give us many things that cannot be
seen here.
Design Color
Of course, everything about what PHS has brought us, after all the most
revolutionary aspect of PHS is the Sun/Earth aspect. There is no question about it.
That is, in order to really understand well-being, it begins with design color. And I
think the design color is one of the great discoveries that is part of Human Design,
this gift of being able to see the way in which the internal system can be perfected.
This is the thing that is so fascinating about it.
After all, the one thing that color does is that color provides the framework for
uniqueness. We know clearly that with the not-self—and again, this was the
distinction that I brought up this morning—is that the moment you go to profile is
the moment that you also enter into the personality’s domain. And of course, the
personality that is not-self, the personality that is ready to make decisions out of
that not-selfness. And of course, the moment you have that you no longer have the

146
LESSON NINE: Internal, External and Shape
possibility of being anything other than what the generic of the profile is. You can be
a seriously messed up 2/4, if you know what I mean, and you’ll be a 2/4, you'll be
totally not-self, you will always answer to the wrong call, your life is going to be a
mess, you’re going to suffer from fatigue and all these things. You're going live out
the generic of a 2/4, but when you think about the fact that a standard profile like
the 2/4 is approximately 14% of humanity, so you’re dealing with about 900 million
people that are 2/4s, this isn't uniqueness. It’s a generic.
You only begin to get to uniqueness when you break through to the color, when you
break through to the substructure. Of course, all our work, this is what we have
been dedicated to is breaking into this substructure in order to understand what
happens when you are able to operate according to what is your correct
determination. And not only that, it leads to something else obviously, it leads to
our understanding of the key that digestion plays in the perfecting of uniqueness, or
the bringing out of uniqueness is a better way of saying that.
You all know that from the very beginning when I was working with you in year one
and I was and teaching you how to do basic PHS analysis, my concerns about who
you give the information to, all of the various things that come with that. Because
there is something that I think that I grasp in this that's hard for others really to
grasp, and that is that this is exactly what is correct for the vehicle, which means
that it isn't something to be played with.
Digestion Is Everything
It seems to me it's very obvious that digestion is everything. It’s the thing that is so
fascinating to me because like you, maturing in our culture with its various health
orientations and the various commentaries and studies and investigations that have
been made about foods and food types and the dietary phenomenon in the decadent
West with the high levels of obesity and the terrible eating habits and all of these
other things. And you grow up in this environment where people claim that the
answer is this or that or the other, and then you have this extraordinary thing that
you find.
I'm taking you back to the basic of what we've come to understand together in order
to reemphasize it for you. I have put a lot of specific focus lately on, as an example,
the Nodes and we have begun the exploration of the lunar and planetary phenomena
relative to the design. But you know as well as I do that I spent the majority of the
first two years focusing you on the Internal, because this is the most important and
radical transition that you can bring into a being’s life. This something that is very,
very important for us to grasp.
It is also important for us to understand that as adults who have gone through
deconditioning processes that our alignment to our PHS is not an easy thing. After
all, this is something that is intended to be positive conditioning of children coming
into the world. In other words, aligning them to what is going to allow them to have
an enhanced developmental internal as a by-product of being fed correctly. And that

147
in understanding what PHS is, you understand how far away we are from the
common line of intelligence and consciousness on the planet. I am and I continue to
be going through a very, very deep process. It has led me to conclusions that are
shocking and stunning. It is quite something when one begins to really see the
mechanism and what the mechanism is and to understand that this knowledge is so
deeply, deeply heretical.
We Are Here to Heal Ourselves
It begins with understanding that everything about the knowledge points you
towards your authority, your authority, your authority. No other authority, none.
We are here to heal ourselves. You know that old cliché: physician heal thyself. But,
we are the first generation of knowers that have the tools to actually live that,
because it's all there in the determination. And how different this design color is
from the personality color, how truly nine-centered this is. This is our grounding in
the nine-centered vehicle.
The Center that I'm opening, the Center for Human Differentiation, is the first
environment will ever exist for our kind. It's the first environment that will exist for
nine-centered beings, not seven-centered health practices, not seven-centered
psychology. This is a real heresy. And it goes against whatever the established
patterns are within the society. I make that comparison, the two basic heresies in
design: you sleep in your own aura; you eat according to your own regimen. This is
the grounding of uniqueness.
That’s something very important that I have begun to recognize and acknowledge in
PHS. I have gone through, and you're well aware of it, this hesitancy. And yet in
the last number of weeks through my own process of analysis it becomes clearer and
clearer to me that PHS is something that enormously helps and speeds up the
individuating process because it goes so deeply against the grain and reinforces the
power of your own authority, aside from the physical benefits that are obvious.
And I see as an adult, as a father, as a family man, what it means to establish your
unique regimen, what it takes.
And even for me in my most unusual circumstance it is still quite something to do,
because it goes against everything that was established in the seven-centered
consciousness and life. We are not seven-centered beings. We are not. We are not
here to eat like seven-centered beings. We are not them. We’re very different. Not
only are we very different, but because we are a transitional mutated form we are
deeply diverse, as if to suggest that within this transitional form are all previous
digestive histories from our primitive caveman to these super, super, super sensitive
light people.
This is where the key is. When somebody comes into Human Design, and they enter
into their Strategy and Authority there is obviously a benefit. That benefit of the
changing of their trajectory, the elimination of certain levels of resistance, a better
clarity about how to function and how to deal with the world and all of these things.

148
But that's, in so many ways, just soothing for the personality, if you know what I
mean. It sort of gives the personality less of an opportunity to think how difficult life
is, changes its focus, and begins to awaken.
Correctness Verses Uniqueness
But this is not uniqueness. This is correctness. There's a difference. Being correct
is how you get to uniqueness. It is something that emerges. But because we carry
all of the conditioning, because of a world that is seven-centered in terms of its
consciousness, we do not have the benefit of the enhanced gifts that we possess.
This plane has never seen the right, the way the right exists today, the phenomena,
the potential of the sensory capacity of those that are right, this is all new.
The eating of food is the most incredible concretized homogenizing force in life. In
knowing PHS it is the only thing that you can recognize as truth. So I return here to
where we began, to understand that being able to align one to what is the correct
intake, this is everything, because it's pure. Pure in the sense that it is precisely
what you need. I'm an awe person with all my 1st lines so sometimes I get carried
away with it.
I’ve been following my PHS for 3 years now, a little over three years and not all the
time, at least two meals every day, or the two times I eat every day. The mental
stamina that I have in the work that I do I can only attribute it to that. I have
absolutely no digestive problems anymore; that was something that had always been
a part of my process. I eat differently. I sleep better. It's clear to me that I have
directly benefited in that process, because I know the difference. I’ve given about
85 or 90 lectures in the last two months. I know I was never capable of that before.
PHS Begins With the Internal
Anyway, my point is that this is something that we have to realize is the key to our
work with our clients. That those people that are going to come to the
Differentiation Center, they want to differentiate. In PHS this is where you start.
The Nodes follow. They don't proceed. It's interesting. It's different for the
personality; the personality starts off benefiting from the Nodes first.
Here on the design side it begins with the Internal. It begins with all of that feeding
of what is not correct for you. When you take in food and you do not digest it
properly within the context of this knowledge, which means that you're taking in food
and it's not being directed to where it belongs, nor is it being properly processed in
order to be directed to where it belongs. It means that fundamentally what we get is
very, very homogenized bodies.
And of course, this is one of the things that—I don't believe in diseases. I know they
exist, I know there are things that they call cancer and this and that, I know there's
all these things, I really do. But for me, this is what homogenization is.

149
Homogenization is that you've got 20 million people that all have the same disease
and 3 million doctors and 2000 hospitals and 800 pharmaceutical companies, and on
and on and on, and it's all part of the homogenized Cross of Planning soup,
institutionalized diseases, institutionalized medical care, institutionalized research,
institutionalized pharmacology. That’s homogenization. If the whole world is going
to eat McDonald's they're all going to suffer from something similar in the end, aren’t
they. It’s homogenization.
This is the way in which the program concretizes its hold on the physical life in the
waking world: food. And all you have to do is look at any baby’s PHS and
understand the way it's being dealt with by its mother to know right away,
instantaneous conditioning, we all got it, we were all homogenized, we were all taken
away from our purpose, we were all limited intellectually, we were all held back by
homogenization, by food.
We’re here to provide the knowledge for the physicians to heal themselves; each
their own authority. You cannot enter into your PHS regimen because you want to or
you'd like to. You can only enter into such a thing because it is correct for you to do
so, you respond to it, you accept its invitation, whatever the case may be, but it has
to be something that is very correct, because for me PHS is something that once you
start it you can never truly afford to stop it.
We Are the Messengers of PHS
This is the track for those of us, unfortunate enough in that sense, that we have to
be the messengers for those who do not have to suffer. We carry the experience.
We are the living examples of it. And yet, we also provide inspiration, because we
have the tools to be able to deal with it, to fight the homogenization. It's not just a
matter of saying, okay; I'm following my Strategy and Authority. Yes, good, so
you're another good 2/4 Generator. That's all right. I have no problem with correct
2/4 Generators, as an example.
But that doesn't mean that that's a unique being. It does not mean that you've got
an awake personality. It does not. And it does not mean that you have a being that
is operating out of what is their maximum capacity. We know that when you're
operating correctly that you automatically gain access; that is, the cognition that is
available is something that can finally move through and becomes the key behind
whatever the authority happens to be. It is the guiding cognition, but the cognition
is deeply limited.
Cold Determination
First of all, this is a cold person [image below]. You know: cold determination. And
you know right away that they were so conditioned as a baby, oh, momma’s warm
breast and milk. It’s very nice for a schmaltzy painting; but, what a horror trip; if
that poor mother would only know; my God. And, all it takes is to make sure that

150
the milk is just below body temperature and then it's perfectly healthy. And you're
not going to start clogging up the neural pathways shutting down this human being
and its potential when it's only halfway through its process, like 99% of human
beings.
We know that this child is not going to be treated that way. We know that the
conditioning, the food conditioning, is going to be very, very heavy on this being.
And of course, they’re
going to be raised as not-
self. And that cognition
that is there, the potential
that is there, the inner
vision; here we have a
right brain system. It
means that we have a
mutation that has taken
place in the visual cortex.
And we have a very
different way in which
sensory information is
taken in. And yet, the
power of this, the potential
of this is all lost in a not-
self seven-centered, left-
oriented world.
The Key to Well-Being
You could tell somebody, honor your Strategy and Authority, but that isn't the same
as saying to them, now that you're making the right decisions it's time for you to
have some very serious things to think about, like truly being the health well-being
that you are supposed to have, and to be able to start this process of cleansing the
body, because it's a cleansing system. Because we don't digest correctly, that is,
because we don't follow the proper regimens, the not-self, what is happening to us is
that there is material and information being sent to places that have nothing to do
with what we need.
My kids go to school and there is a cafeteria and they publish a list of all the things
that have to be there, a certain amount of carbohydrates and this and that.
Homogenized diets, it’s like we’re cows in the field, because we don't need what
everybody needs. We need what we need. Nobody has ever been able to see this,
please grasp that. If there was nothing else in my life but PHS, man would I ever
feel good, because it is the key to our well-being. And not so much for us; I'm a
practical man; I'm very realistic about looking at things. I know how difficult it is,
because this is the most difficult thing to deal with.

151
We are a bio-form, we get hungry. Eating is something that we do together. And

eating is something we do together because it's a deep protective instinct against us
killing each other. There are so many things that force us into environmental
circumstances in terms of the way in which we take sustenance into our vehicle that
automatically conditions us. I’ve taken you through so much information I do not
want you to lose a grasp of what this is really about. PHS Nodes, yes they’re
wonderful, it's fantastic to know where you belong, all that stuff, it’s really good, it's
terrific. It is going to be deeply, deeply interesting for us to investigate what all the
information is about, to be able to come up with analytical tools in that. But hey,
this is what it’s about. This is the whole story. It is the most profound aspect that
we can deal with from the design side, from the substructure.
The Center for Human Differentiation
So those beings that are going to come to the Center for Human Differentiation—by
the way, that Center is only going to be staffed by graduates, by candidates, you
folks once you graduate. The Center itself is only open to people who are
experimenting with their Strategy and Authority. The Center is there for Human
Design people. It isn't for the general public, it really isn't. And if they want to be
able to gain access to the services of that center, then they have to begin their
experiment. It is a service, a holistic service environment for those beings that have
entered into the process of making decisions correctly as themselves. And those
beings that enter in who are part of that process, one of the things that I want to be
very clear about is that they all have a right to their PHS.
It doesn't mean that they have to do it. Again, these are things, because everything
about this knowledge is about your own authority that you have to see these
absolutely great decisions, these deep profound decisions that have to be made and
have to be made correctly, this is one of the most important decisions and I am not
just throwing out hyperbole. It is one of the most important decisions that you're
ever going to make in your life, because of course this is a decision that puts you on
the path that ultimately is going to leave you all alone. And that is always
something to deal with.
Being Dedicated to Oneself
The one thing to understand about the radical transformation of the way in which we
eat is that it has a deep and lasting impact on our social involvement. Everything
about this knowledge is rooted in a deep, deep kind of selfishness. It's the beauty of
the 55.6. It is this selfishness that in its flowering only then is truly appreciated for
what it takes to be so dedicated, to be dedicated to self. I am deeply, deeply, deeply
dedicated to myself. It does not deny me the love of others or the embrace of
others. It is not indeed selfish in that sense at all. But it is about me, that I can
only be the authority; nothing else, nothing else.

152
And in order for me to truly live out what is that essential authority it means that I
have to do everything in my power to refine my vehicle. I am a teacher of form.
What I honor most of all is the extraordinary phenomena of what form is. It is an
amazing thing. This is the only true temple that we have, is our bodies. And I don't
say that poetically, I say that in deep earnestness, these vehicles. And it is not that
these vehicles need to be treated kindly, indelicately, and this and that. These
vehicles can deal with just about everything. They just have to be dealt with
correctly. You honor your vehicle by fueling it correctly. It’s fuel, after all. You
want, you need to have going through your system the power source that is going to
work the best for you to give you the advantages that are inherent in your potential.
But most of all, you see that this is the doorway to your uniqueness. It doesn't lie in
the line or the gate or the profile. It doesn't lie in the cross. People think that the
cross defines a uniqueness; it doesn't. There are zillions of Clarions. There are
about 70,000 5/1 Manifestor Clarions. This is not where uniqueness lies. It never
lies on the surface. We are deep sea divers. We’re beyond the illusion of what the
surface brings. You go down underneath. And it's there that you see it. That's
where the secret is.
The Determination and Cognition: Cold through Inner Vision
That’s where the potential for uniqueness is, this person that follows their cold
regimen, their eyes closed, the food going into their system. It doesn't matter what
the hell that is. It doesn't matter if it's good food, bad food, rotten food, it doesn't
make any difference, honestly. Cold, through inner vision and the vehicle will take
precisely what it needs to further the uniqueness of that form to enhance it, to
perfect it. It is not from the outside that we do that, it is from the inside that we do
that. And it’s so simple. Like everything in the magic of this knowledge, simple and
incredibly difficult. Simple; so simple that any idiot can grasp it, but if it's not your
fractal and you're not operating according to your Strategy and Authority, it means
nothing, because there's no truly grasping what this is.
This is a real revolution, each unique being eating correctly. Look at our Western
world. I mean, look at it, wow, the mess we have with food, the deep, deep
homogenization of these bodies, and the dumbing down of these brains, all dumbed
down. After all, the Americans elected Bush. Homogenization has reached a level of
absurdity that's insane. This is what happens to humanity. This is what keeps
humanity under control. How do you think that we control mammals? We herd
them together and we feed them. We’re herded together and we’re fed,
homogenized birth to death.
The Truth Is Not For Everyone
I have to laugh at some of these. Ever once in awhile, you catch this new fad, this
new diet, this new thing, the insanity of the homogenized not-self. And then people
who really know, like yourself, you wonder why are so many millions and millions of
people attracted to that and not to the truth, because it is the homogenized world

153
and they are homogenized and belong to it and have no ticket out. Don't you know
that you need a ticket?
Not everybody gets a ticket. The truth is not something that is intended for
everyone. It’s one of the great myths. You cannot present such truth to the not-self
homogenized being and assume for a moment that they know what the hell you're
talking about. We are, in many ways, the first nine-centered beings. We’re the first
ones who know what the modern Uranian life really is. We’re the first ones who are
living it. We are the first ones who truly know we’re mutative. Every one of you
that carries a 6th line in your profile is evidence of that. We are the first nine-
centered beings, in the sense that we are the first ones to consciously live it, which
means that we are very different from our neighbors. We are very different from the
world around us that is deeply, deeply caught in the seven-centered reality.
The Right Being
And we still have to live in their world. They dominate the world. It’s a horror for
the right, always being deeply conditioned away from what is their beauty, their
potential, a potential that can only live through the nine-centered experience. If you
are a right being, PHS is something that's essential. It's essential. Just to be able to
start the process of giving you a true alignment to what is your gift, the deep, deep
potential that is there.
This is a right brain system. This is an evolutionary mind. And unfortunately ends
up being trapped in the left world—homogenized food, homogenized upbringing as a
child. That's why the Center is something that is for Human Design people. It’s for
those who discover that they’re nine-
centered, and then can enter into a
nine-centered holistic process, both
for body and mind, both through
PHS and Rave Psychology. Because
these are nine-centered sciences,
there have never been nine-centered
sciences before.
It’s so important for me that you

grasp where we are and where we
stand. That you see that this is a
historical transition in the way in
which the business of administering
the well-being is no longer Cross of
Planning oriented. It isn't. It is
based on the possibility that one person at a time can be transformed by another
through knowledge; one person at a time, that person that walks through the doors
of the Center, one person at a time. This is our work. And they have to be those
that are already on the path, because we are the ones that carry the knowledge

154
within us that will allow them to be able to fulfill the possibility of what it is to be
nine-centered.
We Live In a Seven-Centered World
My favorite joke is yoga. It's one of my dearest and favorite jokes. I have nothing
against yoga, but it is still a joke for me, because yoga is seven-centered. And I
think that the practice of yoga, though it may be wonderful in a sense for the
flexibility of the body, I think that as an act it has a deep homogenizing quality to it,
because I think it's seven-centered oriented and thus I think that there are certain
aspects of the nine-centered body that do not benefit at all from what is yoga, which
is a deeply, deeply seven-centered phenomena.
We live in a world in which we are truly the new ones; we’re different. And of
course, it is our work in that sense to establish a nine-centered community. That is
what we do. This is the expansion of the knowledge for those that are ready. For
those that are ready to live this different experience, because it is what we
represent. That is, we represent a totally different way in which a being is looked at.
We have a totally different set of
information in a different way of
looking at how the information
operates, the way in which it applies
and all the various things that we
work with.
We are the ones that are here to

prepare the way for nine-centered
beings in the future. It is why your
training and the training of Rave
Psychologists, that the programs
that we are developing, the
software, the ability to be able to
create research information, be able
to share information, all the various things, to be able to develop a database, that
we are the first ones that carry the responsibility to prepare a holistic understanding
based on the nine-centered form. And out of that, to be able to provide for those
that that are ready.
Again, it is so obvious to me that we’re in a seven-centered phenomenon still. We

never left it behind. I don't see anything on the planet, whether you want to talk
about iPods or rockets to the Moon that are nine-centered. They are not. They are
the final results of seven-centered strategic thinking. And there is nothing, other
than Human Design, that I see on the planet that has emerged that is truly nine-
centered. Everything else is seven-centered, it’s so obvious.
And it is particularly obvious when you look at it from a psychological point of view,
because from a psychological point of view we are still dealing with a very primitive

155
consciousness when you look at the consciousness of humanity. It's still very much
seven-centered. And if you look at seven-centered history, seven-centered history is
nothing but bloodlust and war. That's part of what we inherited. The killer monkey
is a seven-centered being. It’s got a seven-centered consciousness.
Religions
What I'm saying is deeply radical. It says that Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism,
Christianity, Sufism, Zoroastrianism, Tibetanism, Zen, Taoism, have nothing to do
with us. You can admire them as great examples of seven-centered this and that.
But it doesn’t have anything to do with us. And you look at the madness in the
world, you look at it real good and you’ll see what it is. All those beings, holding
onto their seven-centeredness, the savagery, the religious fanaticism, it’s all seven-
centered. It's not what we're here for. This is not what the nine-centered being is
about.
So we are different, and we have a different body. You have to understand that the
deep homogenization that takes place in the not-self basically results in a kind of,
and I don't mean this literally, but a kind of seven-centered vehicle. In other words,
it just diminishes the potential so much, particularly the right, because the right
would be an immediate indication that something is wrong, that something's
different. The aspect of the nine-centered being that strategic, that is, the left
sidedness, this remains a kind of, okay, so the right gets even more homogenized so
that we hold onto this deep left orientation that is a direct inheritance from the
seven-centered form.
I don’t like them. I don’t really mean that. But I mean everything in their place.
You know that great story about some guy trying to write a biography about
Gurdjieff. He wanted to write the biography about Gurdjieff and he wanted to write
about Gurdjieff’s masters, the people that taught him. One of them was some sheik
in the desert. He finally got to see the sheik and the first thing the sheik asked him
is if Gurdjieff was alive. The young guy who was the writer said, “No, no, no, he's
been dead for quite a while.” And the sheik said to him, “Why don't you go find a
teacher who is alive.”
We Are Representatives of the Nine-Centered Vehicle
This is particularly true for the beings that you are going to be of service to in this
life. That is, as representatives of living what is not simply what's new; it’s not that
new, 1781, to think how long it took until there were those beings were actually
going to fully be able to live the realization of what it is to be this new form. And for
you to see that you are the representatives in that sense of the nine-centered vehicle
to others. And the thing that aligns us the fastest, the quickest to our nine-centered
form can only be seen in the Internal.

156
The making of correct decisions allows us to navigate in a difficult world. It doesn't

necessarily bring us deeper to our nature, to our purity. And there is so much
homogenization that has taken place that PHS is something that can so deeply
impact, balance out the effect of decades of homogenization. And obviously, this is
knowledge that needs to be brought to the attention of parents, that they need to
understand, particularly parents that are fertile, that are having children to
understand that these are new beings coming into the world. These are nine-
centered beings and need to be treated accordingly, have to be treated accordingly
in terms of their nature, and have to be treated accordingly in terms of their dietary
regimen.
PHS Babies
I'm waiting, I’m watching, there are these PHS babies now that are on their dietary
regimen. And you mark my words, the end result of that is going to be absolutely
incredible. Because they will not have neural shutdown a 3 ½ years of age, they will
not. It means that they're going to have a very different kind of brain system.
They’re going to have a nine-centered brain system. We were all born with the
potential for nine-centered brain systems, we were. The shutdown gets in the way;
and here with these children with the power of this knowledge.
There are so many things for us to look at now. And we will do this together. We
will have quite an adventure, particular in the second semester when you have the
program and we can literally play together with all of this stuff and look at it and
work with each other's charts and all kinds of things. We will do a lot of very
interesting things.
The Core of This Knowledge: The Dietary Regimen
You have to remember that the core of this knowledge, the most important
instrument in this knowledge is PHS. It is the dietary regimen. And you see, what
we have is layers and layers of uniqueness that begin to become possibilities. The
PHS, as it begins to align the internal systems of the vehicle to what is enhancing to
your uniqueness, and then beginning to align the being to the environment that is
correct, all this finally leads to something very special that is a rich, deep and
healthy long life.
The Nodes are great gift to us; the design Nodes are great gift. It’s what Ponce de
Leon looked for, the fountain of youth. It’s not about a fountain of youth; it's about
a fountain of extended well-being over a Uranian cycle. We are designed to be
healthy for a Uranian cycle. This is the mechanic of the nine-centered vehicle. It’s
not a model T Ford; it's not some seven-centered vehicle. This is a real up-to-date
hybrid.

157
And that is something that can only be achieved through the combination of PHS and
being aligned environmentally to what is correct for you. It is also obvious that the
deeper you go into the demands of PHS correctness, that is, from the Internal to the
External and ultimately to looking at shaping as well, you begin to see that every
step that you move closer to your uniqueness you move further away from the
commonality of the plane that you live on.
And instead of feeling concerned about the potential of the aloneness of that, I tell
you, cherish it. It does not separate you from the world, nothing can, but it allows
you to fulfill the only thing that matters. It’s the only thing that matters. It is about
you. It's about each and every one of us, that each and every one of us has the
opportunity in this life to be able to live the fullness of our potential.
Love Yourself
I remind people to love themselves. Ah, to love yourself is a wonderful thing. It's a
wonderful thing. There are many kinds of love. I have known them all, except for
grandchildren and I assume that that'll be a delight as well. And I tell you, to have
love for yourself is something that is so magical. It's not vain, it’s not you love
yourself because. There's no “because,” there is just the wonder of what it is to be
you.
We all have these great magical potential in us to be in love with the wonder of our
lives. Our lives, these nine-centered lives, awake and aware, are intended to be so
rich. It is, after all, the closing of the door. We are on a cusp here. This is our
moment. It’s our moment, you get no other. And so we can be of great service.
The internal, the dietary regimen, the sensory grasp, all of this begins a deep healing
process in any human being; a deep healing process. It’s a nice thing to be able to
do.
Okay, that was my Internal sermon. I thought it was long overdue. But anyway,
nice to share it with you, and I was glad I got into the classroom. To all of you, until
next time, you take care; bye for now.

158
Lesson Ten
Diagnosis: An Introduction
You’ll notice, by the way, that our last class of the semester we're going to have
together with the Rave Psychology class. It'll be the last holistic class until the third
semester. There will be no combined classes next semester because everything has
to be streamed in terms of the work we have to do. So, just please take note that
you won't have a class next Tuesday, but it will be on Wednesday at the normal
time.
Here’s a progress report, by the way. Asi Farran, our programmer, was here the
other day and he was showing me where we’re at in terms of the software. It's quite
fantastic. He’s still working on one of the major issues. One of the things that I
want to bring to Holistic Analysis is an ability for you to be able to look at the data
you have in many different ways. So, one of things that we’re working on is creating
a setup so that your library of charts, all the charts that you have in your library,
that those charts can be instantaneously organized in any way. In other words, you
can organize them by variable, by type, by personality, by design, by Node, you
name it. We’re going to have all kinds of categories so that you can begin to pull
together all kinds of similarities, relationships simply by being able to organize your
library of charts in any given way. It'll be great.
[Comment from Cathy: I find it almost unbearable to work with the old style of
chart display and graphing. I am longing to have all my charts in the new format.]
Yeah I know it's difficult Cathy, I know, it's true, everybody wants to be able to play
with it. I don't want to give it to you until the beta program is ready. It has to be
checked. There are so many new things that are in this program. It will be available
on the seventh of January; absolutely you'll have the day you come in the classroom.
The Chart of Al Gore
We're going to take a bit of a journey here. This chart that we’re going to be
working with is Al Gore, a Nobel Prize laureate, good for him, Mr. Save The World
and I thought it would be interesting to use Mr. Save The World for whatever reason.
I don't know, it just struck me as not a bad idea, just so you know who it is.

159
The Center for Human Differentiation
Basically what I want to talk about today, because it really is the close of what we’re
doing specifically in PHS for this semester. I want to close with a sort of rounded
view about what it's going to be like in September when we open up the Center for
Human Differentiation, what happens
when somebody comes and they want
your services. What is the process
and what is it that in fact, you can
offer them and how can you offer that
to them, in what way.
In other words, basically the way as I

see it now, the way in which I see the
utilization of different aspects of the
information at different times in order
to help somebody move through their
process. I think that the way in which
we are establishing the Center, it's
very sophisticated in the sense that it
provides all the possible interactive venues that we will need. So for example,
consulting rooms, like this classroom, interactive consulting rooms, an environment
in which you can do long term work with clients, because in fact both disciplines
require a considerable amount of a relationship between the client and the
professional.
Remember that truly you are not an analyst. An analyst is a one-off, within an hour,
boom, you've done your job. And that is the groundwork and one of the most
important jobs in Human Design. But that's about getting somebody to see the
possibility that there is an experiment that they can enter into. Remember that you
are being trained to be the first healers in a sense of nine-centered beings, because
that's truly what you are. Healer isn’t necessarily the word, guide, I don’t want to
get into anything sort of—because for me I see it as this is the place for the nine-
centered being to be able to find out what is healthy for them in life, both physically
and mentally.
In other words, this is the only resource that nine-centered beings have. You’re not
going to go to a seven-centered psychologist. I mean, there is a certain insanity to
all of that. And given what you know about the nine-centered being, you know that
only within this context, only within this knowledge can we truly be of service to the
beings that are here on this plane. And so when somebody enters into a relationship
with a PHS practitioner, this is not a single encounter. It isn't. And one of the things
to be seen is that basically when somebody enters into a relationship with a
practitioner that they enter into a program of connectivity. Now that connectivity, as
you'll see because I see it in many ways, there are all kinds of possibilities in terms
of the work that you can do with somebody as they enter into their process.

160
LESSON TEN: Diagnosis, An Introduction
First Criteria: A Reading
So, let me sort of take you through it, in a sense. Let's say Al is somebody who first
of all has had a reading. This is the first basic criteria. Nobody who comes into the
Center for Human Differentiation is able to have contact with any of the staff unless
they have had a reading. There will be introductory films. It will be explained. They
will be encouraged, if they haven't done so, to get a reading from a professional
analyst and to see whether it is
correct for them and it feels
right for them to enter into the
experiment.
Only after they have entered

into that experiment, only then
are they really welcome in this
environment in terms of the
sense that there are people
there that can really be of
service to them. So, this is one
of the first things to recognize
because I’ve been asked these
questions from both the PHS
side and the Rave Psychology
side, that is, what is the
difference? The difference is that we are only here to serve those who have entered
into the experiment. Please understand that this is an incredibly fast growing human
environment. It’s growing at a speed that astonishes me.
The other day for the first time it in the Newcomer Center—we average normally
about 150 to 170 people a day—we're breaking 200 regularly now. These are all
people that are coming in, getting their design, and downloading the software. It is
quite an amazing thing that's going on. And these people need somebody who is
going to be able to help them, who truly understands, in the deepest possible way,
their particular design and how we can be of service to them. This is who we are
here to serve.
And of course, you are the first generation that is trained to serve the nine-centered
being. And ultimately, that is what we're all about. And ultimately, that is what the
Center for Human Differentiation is going to stand for. It’s a beautiful thing. I think
maybe some of you may have noticed that we've hired a new graphic designer, a
graphic director. He’s deeply, deeply talented. I had asked him to create a logo for
the Center for Human Differentiation. Wait until you see it, it says everything about
what we are. That is, it really does. I don’t want to tease you, but it really does. It
says that we’re not about what the understanding of the body and the mind was
before. This is all new. New in the sense that we are the first conscious nine-
centered beings equipped to understand what it is and trained to be of service.
So when this person comes into the Center and they want to engage your services
they're not going to be engaging for a reading. Part of the entry into the Center is

161
introductory films both for PHS and Rave Psychology that explain quite clearly what
these programs are about, what the goals of these programs are, and what the
commitment is of the client or the patient. I don’t particularly like that word in this
context. Somebody who has entered into their experiment is already stepping at
least partially out of the grip, in that sense, of homogenization and they are entering
into a world where they can truly be nurtured.
I what you see the importance of this role, because there has never been anything
like it. We are there to provide that service. So, this person, when they go in
they're going to understand that if they want a relationship with a PHS practitioner
that this is something that is open ended. In other words, there is an ongoing
process that can take up to three years of work with the client, an ongoing process in
terms of working with them and supporting them in their physical well-being in their
process.
I don’t want to go into the obvious of digging into this chart, you're welcome to do.
It's clear that we have a single definition ego Manifestor. We’re dealing with a 2/4,
we'll look at all of the particular data, we know all the stories that are there, but I
don’t want to go into this in particular because I want to take you through the
thematic of what would happen to somebody that comes through.
The only reason that somebody is going to be interested in PHS is that they want to
be healthy. That’s their basic understanding of what PHS is, which isn’t necessarily
what it's about. That is, PHS, as we well know, is about something else. It is about
digestion. It is something that is very, very specific. By the way, you'll notice things
that have been added to the database. More things are being added, by the way.
We’re developing right now an orientation program that goes with this. There are
incredible things that are going to be in the software.

162
Begin With the Internal
But anyway, you can see that the variables are now listed and they are listed
personality right/left, design right/left. That's part of the database that you’re going
to be working with. For any client, where we begin is what we in our program
together have spent a great deal of time working with. That is, we are looking at the
Internal. Recognize that the Internal is something that is deeply important, after all.
It is so important for a being to get in touch with what is their real cognitive power.
It is so important for them to begin to align their vehicle to what is correct for the
vehicle.
Now, I've given you many, many cautions about those entering into PHS. And one
of the things that is clear for me is that you have to be aware of is that you need to
be able to not tell the client what to do, but to be able to deal with them according to
their type and their profile so that they can engage in whatever you offer them
through their inner authority.
Now, obviously when you meet them for the first time it is going to be important for
you, because after all many of them—by the way, I don't want to give you the
impression that right away at the beginning when we open this Center that it's going
to be specifically for mostly newcomers. I think because of the way in which I'm
developing the marketing for this, because it's very important for me that this Center
becomes really a very, very important place for anyone in Human Design to go to.
It's going to be in the front where the PHS portal is right now at the entry point at
the website; this is where the Center is going to be.
It is going to be promoted to the Human Design community as their well-being

center, because that's where it is. That Center is going to house clinics, free
discussions, group work, all kinds of things are going to be possible within the Center
itself. In other words, a place for people who are nine-centered who are involved in
Human Design to get the kind of support that they need physically and mentally.
Many of them will partake in both sides of the process. In other words, this is what
the Center is about, to be able to provide as much enhancement and guidance
towards the potential that somebody can realize.
The Educational Session
We need to begin with the Internal, and to be able to recognize that within the
Internal we have the ability to help this person speed up to their process. Now, that
session where you meet them, first of all, it begins with an educational session.
They need to know and understand things first. They need to understand the way
the digestive system works, the way in which there are different kinds of digestive
systems, to be able to understand what it means to enter into something like this.

163
And there are many things that you need to be clear about when you begin to work
with them. The first thing is that despite the fact that they have entered into their
Strategy and Authority, that is, as an experiment, one of the first questions that you
have to ask a client and you'll see that next semester I'm going to give you, I call
them check lists, like pilots when they are starting the plane, the kind of—and this is
not carved into stone, it's a guide for you—the kind of questions to ask your client.
Building a Relationship
Remember, you don't just look at their design and start telling them things. You
have to build a relationship with them. You need to hear what their outer authority
is. You need to be clear about certain things in their process. For example, are they
sleeping in their own space? If not, do not give them their PHS. Spend your first
session with them explaining to them that they could not be helped if they're being
conditioned by another human being while they’re unconscious during sleep. And
the service that you can provide for them is something that is not going to be
effective because the fact is that it is very difficult for somebody to escape the not-
self if they're constantly being conditioned, if they're constantly being in somebody's
aura.
There is a big difference between the way in which you'd treat clients depending on
their type. It's obvious that you're going to have to have a different relationship with
a Projector client than you're going to have with a Generator client. The Generator
client is ready to respond, but the Projector client has to be invited into an
understanding before they can see the possibility of success for them.
Remember that one of the things that the Center for Human Differentiation is there
to truly offer is everybody's right to their signature. It’s what well-being brings into
your life, both physical and mental. It brings the peace and the satisfaction and the
success and the surprise, the joy of it all of what's possible to be here on this plane.
It's not that the Center is just and there for the physical. It is an enriching spiritual
environment. At least that's how I envision the power of the knowledge on either
side in what it can do for a human being.
Two Specific Sets of Information: Determination and Cognition
So let's say that Al is deeply committed to his process, has organized his own
bedroom and loves it, here is somebody that is ready for the next step that if this is
something that can be correct for them. Now, you're looking at somebody that
needs two specific sets of information and both of which are very important in terms
of something else. What we know about the Internal? What we know about Internal
is that this is the brain system. And because it's the brain system, one of the things
that I want you to think about is that there is always a relationship between the
determination, that is, the way in which digestion is enhanced and the way in which
the brain works, because it's something to think about it.

164
We digest things, we digest concepts, and we digest information. On the design side
we digest data. The cooler this person is the better they are at digesting data. And
they are designed to be cool; holistically anyway, we know that. But cold, and again
understanding, as you well know, cold simply means below body temperature, but it
also means something else. It's one of those things is that is so interesting.
[Written remark from Genoa: He's a cold diet. No wonder he is so concerned about
global warming!!]
Ra: Global warming yes, yes, yes, it's a good joke. One is delighted with the cosmic
jokes.
The other side of this, of course, is the inner vision, and it means that we have a
right brain system and as a right brain system it means that that this is a visual
cortex that is mutated. And the mutation of this visual cortex is something to grasp
as well. In other words, this inner vision is actually a break with vision, in a way. It
is a break from the strategic 3rd tone
and the way in which it focuses in
order to identify. And this brain
system that does not focus has this
peripheral receptivity in the way in
which this brain system is going to
operate.
Again, how important it is for this

person that if they want to think
something through it's an advantage
for their brain if they're in a cold
space and their eyes are closed. And
of course, because it's about below
room temperature, cold doesn't have
to be shivery. It’s not; it’s not at all.
It is below body temperature, but I would assume that if it got really cool—it's well
known that cold environments have bred more genius than hot environments. So, it
is just something that's interesting when you look at it in the mix.
You have things that can be so powerful for a human being to get as information.
First of all, the whole digestive thing, because that means a whole complete
reworking of the body system. Lower color has much more radical responses to their
dietary regimen than upper color. In other words, there tends to be more
disturbance in lower color bodies as a whole than there is in upper color. Simply
because with upper color with circumstance, serendipity often makes it possible that
somebody gets the right digestion simply because the environment happens to be
right. That isn't going to be regularly the case when it comes to conditions at all.

165
A Cleansing Process
So, we have a lot more distortion beginning with the greatest distortion out of the 1st
color. Obviously, the most basic digestive system can be the most disturbed given
the kind of society and the way in which we eat and so forth and so on. One of the
things here is that what we’re talking about is a cleansing process. And the most
important aspect of this cleansing process is that it begins to liberate the potential of
the cognitive inner vision to be able to guide this life. In other words, the cognitive
inner vision that is actually going to show up in the defined ego of this being, which
is their authority, the way in which that ego is going to act when this person is
correct is going to be rooted in this inner vision. This is the cognitive source
expressed through the determination and ultimately through the lines and so forth;
the design fighter.
So this is stage one, but you can also see that it could be stage two. It could take
you after that first meeting in order to reestablish for that person with clarity what
our services are about, because the services of the Center are restricted. It's very,
very important for us to realize that it is our responsibility to be able to help the
nine-centered being, and the nine-centered being is mostly deeply ignorant. So we
need to be very clear about the way things work.

166
Basic Requirements of Clients Will Be Established
One of the things that I really ask, and again, I'm not the kind of person that ever
demands anything, one thing I ask is that whatever is established and we agreed to,
because I will discuss all of it with you next semester and if there are things we
disagree on we can change them together, but the basic requirements of who is
allowed to enter into the Center and be provided with services and the way in which
generally speaking the services are provided and that I ask that everyone will be
invited to, all candidates who graduate, will automatically be offered positions on the
staff of the Center.
Obviously, you will get a lot of business from the Center itself, but of course you'll
still be able to do your own private practice. One of the things that I ask is that the
rules that we establish together for what are the requirements for somebody coming
into and be receiving these services and the way in which generally the services are
offered are respected, whether they're taking place within the Center or on the
outside. It is very important for us as professionals to maintain a standard.
It is also deeply important because our programming, the Center itself, because the
Center will have a private area which is only for the staff where we will have all of
our online inter-connective research capacity that if we’re all operating according to
the same standards, if we’re all operating according to the same requirements, then
we can look at the data that we collect and see that it is legitimate data because it's
all being based on the same exact kind of approach, if I can put it that way. We
need to do that in order to establish the validity of what we are doing, in order to be
able to chart the success that is there in this process.
So, that’s one of the exciting things that we’ll be looking at when we come to the
next semester and we start talking about our actual approach in terms of what we
will do for a client, what is expected of the client, and the kind of frame that it takes.
We’ll also talk about standardization of pricing. I don't care what you charge
privately, that will never make any difference to me and you can charge privately
more than will be charged in the Center. Most of you know that I don't believe in
cheap pricing anyway, so it's not like it's going to be inexpensive, the Center. For
me it's always clear that if you cannot sacrifice to make an investment in yourself,
then what's the point? Because if you give people the information rarely, rarely,
rarely is that something that truly is going to mean something to them. Something
for nothing for most human beings is simply nothing.
So there will certainly be a structure that is established, a pricing structure that is

established, for the ongoing work. And basically I am going to set it up in the way in
which the only way clinically I see that we can set it up is by time. In other words, I
will establish half-hour and hourly rates and these are the rates that will be charged
to clients for the services. It's just a way in which to keep everything very, very
professional and very, very organized.

167
The other thing is that for all the professional work that is done through the clinic will
be stored for research purposes. Again, when we store something for research
purposes we obviously are going to protect whoever the client is and we will have
very clear legal safeguards that are going to be posted on the site that are going to
explain very clearly what are our legal status is, what we will or will not do with
information, what the rights of the clients are, and the fact that we will respect
those. As a matter of fact, all of that is now being drawn up by Jovian’s legal staff so
that we have the right language.
Again, it’s very, very important for us because we are dealing with people's minds
and their bodies, that we have to be very correct and very rigid in that sense in the
way in which we operate professionally. So, these are things that I hope you find all
that assuring or reassuring because I do. I think it's very important. Think about
our level of professionalism and the way in which we are going to be presented to
the public, because the Center for Human Differentiation is something that is going
to be very heavily marketed. And I want people to come into an environment that is
impressive in both the way in which the knowledge is presented and the way in
which the services are offered, because it is wonderful information that we have and
can be of the value to human beings.
A Once-A-Week Workshop for Color
So, our first stage in all of this is the stage that gets us to the introduction of this.
Now, one of the things that I want to be able to establish in the Center is that there
is going to be one night or one day a week—and we will establish kind of time that is
basically friendly for Europe and the United States to begin with—once a week there
will be a clinic or workshop for a specific color; in other words, a 1st color digestive
workshop on Mondays, and so for so on. Those workshops, members of staff will
alternate in being the hosts for those workshops and all of us who have clients, our
1st color clients have an opportunity to go into that 1st color workshop to be in a
room like this with other people who are 1st color where everybody can ask questions
and where they can get more information and be able to share their process
together.
This is another area of the extension of our relationship to the client. The client is a
member of our community, of our Human Design community, and as such we are
taking them into a community approach to being able to offer them the support
systems that they need. The beauty of it is that it is virtual, which means that it is
staffed virtually, obviously, it makes it possible for anyone anywhere to gain access
and at the same time, we can offer very exciting possibilities for people to have
ongoing support.
You know what it was like for yourself. You get your PHS; you're all alone, if you
enter into it, you want more feedback because this is basically bare-bones. How
cold, what kind of cold, and people talking about their eating, the kinds of things that
they're into you, 1s talking about their different cavemen/cavewoman recipes, the 2s
with their sharing desert island recipes. In other words, it's an opportunity not only

168
for the clients to gain a sense of connectivity with other people, remember we’re the
first beings who know this, so it's wonderful for these people to be able to have an
opportunity in which they can come into an environment where there's other people
like them and they can share together what they're going through. At the same time
it enriches our own knowledge. The feedback that we get from all of those 1s, 2s,
3s, 4s, 5s, whatever the case may be, this is something that becomes very
rewarding in that sense.
The Environment
I'm just doing an overview for you so you begin to get a sense of where we go in our
direction. Obviously, the next step is one that for me is the most significant in a
way. And what I mean by that simply is that this is when you really get on the right
track. And this is a point where in working with a client, when you're ready to
introduce their environment to them and their social approach to them, this is a
point where you're really beginning to focus somebody in a way in which their life is
forever going to be transformed because this is going to realign them in terms of the
world and what they meet in the world. And it is the first true bridge that goes to
the other side, that goes to the personality Nodes.

169
Again, through the work of the link Nodes and the way in which they bond together,
these two nodal aspects so that through the monopole both of their orientations,
both of their alignments can be focused in one movement; the magic of the holistic
direction that is there that the monopole gives us. Once somebody has really
entered into their experiment, once they have begun to enter into the experiments of
their PHS, they’re deeply sensitive now. Their struggle is only really a struggle with
mind, because there is a great sensitivity at work in their system. They're slowly
aligning. And obviously when we get to dealing with the External, we’re dealing with
something that can never be simply that you have to do this.
It’s one of the things about understanding your client and understanding what it
takes for them. I mean, you can't reach Al unless he hears the call. You’re not
going to reach him unless his ego is convinced that this is what is good for him and
all of these things. You have to be able to communicate to the being, you have to
develop a relationship with your client, because after all, you are their guide, you’re
the one that is opening up each and every one of the different doors that ultimately
leads to the possibility of transformation for them. The most difficult aspect, in a
sense, to really be aligned to is your External, because the External is very specific.
It's very specific in that, as we well know, it brings an environmental reality,
mountains in this case, the high ground. One could say that Al got his Nobel by
taking the high ground. But that's just another Al joke.
We know from our work that mountains don't just mean mountains, if you know
what I mean. That is, it can be the high floors of a building. These things are
relative. However, this is the environment that is so important for this being for
something that we’re here to bring. We’re here to bring something that is deeply,
deeply special.
We Are Uranian Beings
The nine-centered being is a Uranian being. And Uranus on the design side is the
most important planet on the design side. We are Uranian beings. The nine-
centered being is here to live an 84 year cycle. And to live an 84 year cycle the way
in which the seven-centered being used to live a 30 year cycle, we have to be much
healthier. It's no surprise that the nine-centered being came with the Industrial
Revolution, the development of science, the beginnings of understanding the real
body and the causes of things, discovering that there are germs, that there are
microbes, and it goes on and on and on, all taken place during, guess what, Cross of
Planning, and most of it during the time of the nine-centered being.
The nine-centered vehicle is a gifted vehicle, but only if it's treated correctly. It’s
intended to live a healthy long life. And the most important thing about External is
that it is deeply, deeply connected to our longevity, which means quality of life. If
you live until 85 and you've lived the last 30 of those years in pain, who needs that?
It's not about that. This is the magic that is here, really magic. We are here truly as
healers. The real healing takes place above after all. It's the PHS that does the
work. It really does. But what happens to you when you get into the alignment is

170
that you don't get the resistance, the wear and tear; that you're in an environment
that is nurturing for you. And not only is nurturing for you, but it's nurturing for you
in the world, because the External represents where you belong physically in the
world in relationship to the other. This is where you meet your other. And if you're
going to meet your true other, it better be on the top floor.
The Active/Passive Theme
But we have something else. What does it tell us? It is here that the theme of
active and passive is so important. It even arises on its own. You can be double
active and passive or you can be active/passive or passive/active as I’ll show you.
But this is about the social physical movement of the vehicle. It’s its interactive
frequency.
Think about this person. This person is designed to be active at high altitude, high
altitude active in the way in which they meet the other. This is the way they’re
intended to be. If they operate that way in which they are the ones that are active
and absorbed in their process in their environment, this is when they are at their
healthiest, this is when their relationships with the others are correct for them at the
highest possible level. And it means that the auras that they're taking in have less
of an impact. Now unfortunately, because the world is not-self not all the right
people are there. Mountain people belong with mountain people. Sameness is one
of the great keys of this knowledge.

171
So we have our mountain, and we have the 3rd tone and if you come down here to
the 3rd tone it is left, we see that active left, we see it’s wet. And so what we know
then is that that environment is a wet mountain environment. Wet—cute, no? It's
something interesting to grasp. By the way, I'm just playing with you. This double
that I showed you—active/passive, active/passive—is one of the most important
themes in terms of the way in which External operates. Because this active and
passive tells us so much
about the way in which the
being is in the environment.
If you’re passive in an
environment everything
moves towards you. If
you’re active in an
environment you’re always
moving towards it.
And remember the body is

the life. Whether the
personality wants to move
towards it or not, think
about this person as a 2/4,
the personality does want to
go anywhere and the 4 is
moving them to connect
with somebody else, to
network with somebody else. This is somebody that in the right environment is
really intended to be very, very active. You can see it has double activity in this,
very active. It is left activeness; it is active in the mountain so it's highly energized
at high altitude. This is where this person is at their best.
The External: Social Consequences
If you think that sleeping in your own bed creates social consequences, if you think
following your PHS brings additional social consequences, living your External, wow,
that really brings consequences. It’s one of the things that you see and have to
understand about the External is that the External is something that you will
naturally align to to a degree in your process, but it is actually something where we
have the capacity out of our inner authority to actually go there. This is why you
don't tell anybody. You cannot tell them. That environment is there for anyone,
your environment is there for you. And it makes a huge difference in your life.
I'm shores and I’m left, so I'm natural shores, I can’t be on a more natural shore
than I am where I am. And I've been blessed with that in my life, serendipity again;
you get blessed with those things. My life could function without it. I would still be
correct, but I would be, how shall I say this, tearing away at the possibility of my
healthy longevity. When I lived in Sedona, Arizona for a couple of years in the late

172
90s, it was the first time in my life that I had actually really lived in a place that was
not surrounded by water. I was born on an island, or on the shores of a lake or sea
or whatever the case may be. I was and remain correct in my process, yet, at the
same time it's clear to me that it was the last time, it’s a long time ago now, that I
was very, very, very, very sick. I had one of these horrendous flu’s that dug into my
45 or 46 years of smoking. I was really ill. I was very, very ill. I was not an
environment that was protecting me.
There is a huge connection between the External and your immune system. Your
immune system is put under stress when you're not in the right environment. It
means it has to work harder. It means it has to use up more energy and resources
in that sense. It means it has to deal with things that are much more difficult to deal
with. The fact of the matter is that if you are in your environment the chances are
that you’re much less likely to end up with that particular problem, disease, infection
than if you weren't in the right environment. It's how important it is.
It doesn't change your awareness. I want to make something clear about what
External is all about. It adds longevity to your life, that’s what it does. But it
demands that you are in certain environments. You have to remember for years all
of these ancient people that would show up from the Caucasus’, just thinking about
mountain people. You had these people living in very, very high villages and you've
got to assume, because after all, if you look at it, you're going to have one-sixth of
them that are going to have a mountain External. And you had these people that
were living to 125, 130 and everybody thought it was so incredible—serendipity,
right environment and everything is okay. Longevity is something that then is a real
possibility.
Again, I'm not talking about super long life. I'm talking about us being able to live a
healthy Uranian cycle. This is what the External brings. This is why it's so
important. And it's something that you need to begin to deal with if you really are
going to give your vehicle the greatest possible span in order to fulfill the complex
process of what it is to awaken as a nine-centered being. It is quite a thing.
And when you are in the right environment you operate correctly relative to the
other. And you’re going to meet in the right environment people by serendipity,
they’ll be not-self because it’s one out of six, you’ll meet those people in the
environment that is correct for you that is also correct for them. And this is an ideal
meeting.
These environments are so important. One of the things that we are going to go
much deeper into is looking at the nuances that are here in the lunar and planetary
square. Now, all the work that I’ve done in lunar and planetary square so far has all
been left to the personality side. It’s where I concentrated because it is where the
basic structure is much more obvious. With the design it is not because of the
planetary values of the rulers of these squares. And of course, these planets literally
have to be understood in a different way.

173
The Key to Our Longevity: The Design Uranus
One of the things that is clear to me and the most important for me is that wherever
your design Uranus is, this is a key to your longevity. If you’re looking for Ponce de
Leon’s Foundation of Youth, well, it’s not really a fountain of youth, but nonetheless,
this is where it is. It’s where it is. And it has to do with the way in which the body is
going to react physically to others. We’re dealing here in the solid category, this
lateral reactivity, how the body
reacts to the other. And it is
absolutely a key to begin to
understand the way in which
the Uranian quality is going to
bring us the well-being that we
need. This is the key to our
longevity and it has to do with
the way in which we react to
the other.
It’s a 5th color. And one of the

most interesting things about
it is that it is going to be
influenced—because the lunar
and planetary square is a
square of resonance. You can
see that there is a very deep
resonating—there are a lot of 5s here, there’s a lot of 5th color that is here in this
square. The whole solid frame, that is, the way in which the physical body reacts,
not the body’s liquids, not the body’s gasses, but the solid of the body, which is
everything from its flesh to its organs and that the key in that is Uranus.
So, one of the things that we’re going to be looking at is that we’re going to begin
looking at what does it mean, these aspects here, so that I can give you enough
tools so that you can begin to examine charts from this perspective. Now, we’re
going to do this next semester. It is an interesting challenge and it will give you a
chance to add to the particular depth you have. Next semester, by the way, we will
also look at design orientation in order to be able to put the whole story together
from the design side. We’re going to have levels and levels and levels of work that
we can do with a client.
The Basic Trajectory for Clients: Internal and External
But something to grasp is that in our work it is the first two stages that really
matter—the internal, the external. This is the basic trajectory that we put somebody
on. What is important for us in this area is that we can do a great deal of research
that will expand the knowledge of what the nine-centered being is and what the
various aspects relative to their health and well-being, what those aspects are about

174
and our ability to be able to analyze them and give constructive information,
practical information to our clients.
We’re dealing with something that is just incredibly exciting, it really is. I look at the
nine-centered being and I see that there is nobody helping them. There isn’t. There
is nobody who’s getting this as part of their education, who gets the possibility of
being able to operate not just simply as themselves from the spiritual point of view,
but the idea that you’re going to be able to be healthy, that you’re going to be able
to connect to the right forces, that you’re going to be able to operate that is a way
that is cognitive, that you’re going to be able to function according to what your
potential is.
It is something that is very beautiful; there is no question about it. And what is so
exciting for us in the work that we do, that those that come to us have already made
the commitment to the knowledge. That’s something that’s very important to grasp.
We’re here to reward them for their commitment by enriching their process,
expanding it, developing it, enhancing it; and in that, being able to create a standard
for well-being in the nine-centered vehicle. Yeah, it’s good stuff.
Anyway, to all of you, it seems to be a lot of folks that we’re missing today in our
class, it’s a small number. But anyway, for those of you that are downloading, you
have yourself an interesting week. And remember next week Wednesday is our last
holistic class. So, until then, bye for now.

175

176
Lesson Eleven
Holistic Analysis 5
The Center for Human Differentiation: CHD
I have a sort of mixed bag for you tonight. I think I mentioned it to you that next
semester we will not be having any of these holistic classes. I wanted to make a
point, by the way, about one of the courses that I'm going to be doing next
semester. It’s called Variables. I’ve set it up so that PHS and Rave Psychology
students can take that course for half-price. I was asked that question earlier this
morning by Cathy about next year's program. It's clear to me that there are three
programs that have been running this semester that really are necessary ingredients
to be incorporated into next year’s third year program. That is, Lunar and Planetary
Color Analysis, History of Geometry, which has to do with base orientation, and
Dream Rave. That is, particularly in terms of Stage One Analysis, which is very
important for Rave Psychology psychologists, because it really allows them to be able
to see the deepest areas of conditioning, and Stage Three Analysis for PHS
practitioners, because in Stage Three Analysis you can really see, particularly when it
comes to the 19th gate—and I provided that download for all PHS students, it was a
class that I just did recently—to understand the dilemma of those people to carry the
19th gate in their Dream Rave and how important PHS is for them.
So next year's third-year program is going to be much more complex. Both Rave
Psychology and PHS students next year in the third-year program will have two
classes a week and not one. That is, they will have their separate classes in PHS and
Rave Psychology, but then they will have a combined holistic class that will be there
once a week for the three semesters so that all the information of AI and AI
mechanics are something that graduates are going to be well-equipped in terms of
the information that they need. So, just a comment in terms of the development of
this particular program and the need to expand that so that all of the information to
be available for third-year students.
I thought about extending the program for another year, but I think that is a long
time. I think it's simply better that like this year many of you participated in these
other programs and I made the essential information available to all of you so that
all the material was there, and next year it will simply be incorporated. So, I just
give you a heads-up about the variable program so that you're aware of it.

177
CHD
Okay, so let me get into this first. There are a number things that I want to cover
today. I do want to talk about your projects and I want to talk about the second
semester and the way in which that is going to operate. But first of all, I want to
take you through the Center and give you a sense of it, but at the same time more
than that actually, I’d like your involvement in that because I think that is something
that is obviously very important.
This is going to be literally the face of advanced knowledge and the face of advanced
knowledge as a service to the people in the community. One of the exciting things
that has been going on in Jovian, fortunately, Human Design seems to get more and
more successful all the time and it really gives us the opportunity to bring on board
some very talented people and it was announced in the update, we have a new
graphic director and he is absolutely superb, and it is a delight to work with
somebody who is so talented.
I asked him to develop a logo for the Center for Human Differentiation. What you're
looking at [image next page], most of you must recognize this, but anyway, this is a
famous da Vinci. For me it's a symbol of a seven-centered being. Da Vinci was a
great seven-centered force. This illustration really embodies for me seven-
centeredness. There is a kind of—I don’t know how to describe that—for me when I
look at this I see somebody trapped in the program. I look at this as a trap; they're
locked into the program. No matter what they do, no matter where they move their
limbs, and no matter what the story is, they are locked here inside.

178
LESSON ELEVEN: Holistic Analysis 5, CHD
That's what happens when you become a nine-centered being and you break the
covenant. I think it's absolutely beautiful myself. This is breaking out of the wheel.
It is a real evolution, in that sense, an evolution out of that trapped-inside-of-the-
program, locked-in, nowhere to go, and here you see it stepping out, and it's
wonderful. I just love it. This is the icon or the symbol of what is the Center for
Human Differentiation. And it’s such a nice play on da Vinci. It’s really very
beautiful. I'm delighted with it. I hope you are, too, because people are going to be
seeing that image for a very long time.
Now, this image here is a sketch, by the way, it’s a sketch that all of us who are
working inside are working on in terms of developing the Center itself. Basically, I
just wanted to give you an idea of the kind of environment, but there's more than
that. I want you to think about it in terms of if there's anything that you would like
to see that is a part of this environment, a service, a function, whatever the case
may be I’m very, very open to suggestions. And I think it's important that
professionals who are going to be operating out of the Center that they really feel a
part of it and that you feel that you can and will make a contribution to it.
It’s important because it is something that literally will represent all of us. This is
going to be the place ultimately where we are to be of service to the community. I
think you can see that here, I sort of just laid that out: The Center is the first
environment dedicated to conscious nine-centered beings. If you've entered into the
transforming experiment of following your Strategy and Authority the staff at the
Center are here to support and enhance your process. That's basically what Rave
Psychology and Primary Health System are all about. They're about enhancing and
supporting the process of anybody who is operating correctly.
And again, to see clearly the realm that we're dealing with here; for me, this is a
revolution. That is, it is the first environment that is dedicated to nine-centered
beings. And it is dedicated to those beings that are stepping out of the wheel. It is
dedicated to those beings that are leaving behind the authority of the program and
entering into their own process. Part of it is informational, as you can see. We're
going to develop—and again, they're going to be beautifully illustrated; we’re in the

process of working on them now—introductory films to Primary Health System and to

Rave Psychology so that people that have found out about Human Design who've
had a reading or whatever the case may be, that they can come here and they can
find out what it is exactly that this Center is offering for them.
You can see clearly that we have a classroom like this, a room that will be dedicated
to, as it says, private group and teaching sessions. I have all kinds of ideas about
how this environment can be utilized to take advantage of its interactivity. For
example, it might be interesting to experiment with let's say two days a week that
there is staff on hand for people to come in and just talk to, that there can be—I
imagine all kinds of clinics, for example, 1st color clinics, 2nd color clinics, 3rd color
clinics, these kinds of things. For example, Rave Psychologists, I haven't gotten to
that, but in dealing with the right is so important to work with the right in groups
even if it's virtual. It is very important to have a group environment for them to
work in. Again, to be able to have these rooms—by the way, they can be
multiplied—to have these rooms so that consultation can take place and whatever.
One of the things that you'll notice is that obviously the staff of the clinic is going to
be well presented. It'll give an opportunity for everyone to be able to present
themselves, their credentials, whatever. One of the things that I would like to do is
that I would like to provide a film, a video of members of staff. I think that's
something that is very powerful, the kind of thing where it's easy to do and can be

180
part of any kind of presentation in terms of—we normally have this setup where you
see names and you click it and there's sort of a blog and all of these things. And
obviously, we'll still have that kind of thing.
I’ve asked, by the way, Asi to give me a working model of this environment at least
six months before it opens, and it opens in September, so somewhere around March
we will have a working model. And all of you who are professionals will have access
to this working model, which means that you'll be able to work on developing your
own particular area of where you present yourself, and so forth and so on. But also
to begin to work on developing the resource library and other things, because there
are many different things that are going to be involved here. I see it ultimately as a
very complex environment. Both of these sciences are complex.
One of the things you can see is that it's set up so that it's the kind of thing in which
the appointments can be easily structured automatically, that appointments can be
set, that automatically practitioners can be notified that classroom time or meeting
room time or whatever it is, therapy room time is made available for them. In other
words, a way in which we can make this work in the sense of making it easy for
people to get in touch with somebody and to begin working in the process with them.
There will be a calendar. I want to be able to have an environment that is a

combination of education and service. I would like to see a couple of free things
every week to bring people in, to get them involved in advancing or enhancing their
process. And of course, there will be the resource library. That library is going to be
built on many, many things. Some of it will come from projects and that are the
kinds of things that can be valuable for people to read or to watch or to listen to.
There will be all kinds of recordings of mine, as an example, that will be freely
available in there to give people a certain grasp of different kinds of concepts and
things like that.
And at the same time, that resource library is also going to have another aspect to it.
That is, there is going to be what is a staff-only environment. That's where we will
be able to share data, where we will be able to have a statistical database to work
with, where we will be able to do filtering and all kinds of things. In other words, a
professional environment that expands our own work and gives everybody who's
working professionally a chance to check on the what's latest relative to this or that,
to be able to look at the results of various work that's being done. In other words,
it’s an environment where we can share information.
One of the things about MMAI, the completed version, which again you get a beta in
January, the beta will be available in January, but it's still being worked on. One of
the most complex areas is the interconnectivity area in which every professional that
has AI is immediately linked to the resource library, is immediately linked to an
interchange zone. There are a great many things, a lot of very exciting things that
that we’re working with. So, I just would like you to think about it and think about
the kinds of things that you feel might be of value in this environment. As I said, I'm
open to suggestions. We’re in the proto-phase now of building the models. That
would be very, very, very helpful.

181
Jovian Certificates
Okay, let’s see what's going on here.
[Comment from Randy: can you give us an explanation of the keynotes for the
design external enviorments as you did with caves] There is an explanation of that,
Ra: Randy, I don’t want to teach that now, but it's back in the end of second
semester last year if you go to that material. It's there, folks, I did it already.
[Comment from jagruti: are there insurance issues? or are we doing this as
"entertainment" to avoid liability?]
Ra: Insurance—yes I know. I’m well aware of it. We are very much involved in
doing all of that. It takes an awful long time. We've been delayed for a long period
of time in terms of being able to get out the actual Jovian certificates. They will
finally be going out in January. That begins the process of then being able to go and
to make the application for the insurance for what we are doing. So, we’re very
much involved with that.
As you all know, we just received recently received the trademarks. Before I even
came into this—you are a wet kitchen, Randy—before I entered into this classroom I
was in a conference call with Jovian's attorney working out our strategy in terms of
dealing with the black market, which is our priority. We need to be able to establish,
how shall I call that, the integrity of our trademark. This is something that we are
actively working with.
All of these things are connected. That is, getting out the official certification, laying
out the defense of the trademark to establish the authority of the licensing and
issuing body, and then applying for the insurance. So, all of this is in the works.
Obviously, it is an important subject, so it is something that we’re very much
concerned about. Jovian is already in a situation where because of our size we’re
already involved in having to commit to all kinds of certain criteria according to
Canadian law and all of which is ultimately going to be a benefit for everyone that is
involved professionally in the knowledge.
What I can say with certainty is that within the next 18 months we will have not
simply resolved all of those, but we will have created a legal structure that allows us
to not only insure practitioners and psychologists and analysts, but also to protect
the integrity of their education. That's something that is very special, very important
for me.
Testing
Okay so anyway, I wanted to give you a taste of that and give you a sense of what's
coming. The other thing that I wanted to bring up before I open this up to some
interactivity here, next semester, you know that I have developed a testing system,
and I'm going to use it next semester. It is something that needs to be employed
and there will be at least two sessions that will be testing sessions using our testing

182
environment. I'm very interested in how that works. By the way, it’s an enormous
amount of work for me, because I have to write these tests and it's quite a process.
It's also interesting to do it, but nonetheless.
For me, this coming semester is getting down to the finishing work of being able to
do diagnostics and both in PHS and Rave Psychology my focus entirely in the next
semester is diagnostics and how to do it and how to operate according to left-ness
and right-ness and this and that and whatever the case may be, but really working
on developing very, very straightforward logical approaches to be able to deal with
different kinds of clientele and different kinds of circumstances.
It is also a time for working on your projects. I would like you to let me know
sometime towards the middle of the second semester what your progress is. I think
that that is something that is important. It doesn't have to be detailed, but it
certainly has to let me know where you're going and what you've been able to
accomplish to that point. I know some of you are waiting for the software. It
certainly is going to make so many things easier for you in terms of the just looking
at things, but it is important to build momentum in terms of working on your
projects and really getting them going.
The classroom experience next semester is going to be mostly what I would call
workshop in the sense that because we’re going to focus on diagnostics, I'm also
going to change the way in which I work with you. It is time for me to stop simply
lecturing you. And this is something important, particularly for those of you that
regularly download and that's not those of you here in the class, obviously, but there
are people that regularly download. It's very important to get involved in the next
semester, because basically I am going to turn the diagnostic work over to you. I
will help you. And I will clarify where clarification needs to be and amplify where it
needs to be amplified, and so forth and so on. But I really want you to be involved
in doing the diagnostics.
I will make sure that if there are gaps or themes that you don't grasp well enough
we can spend extra time looking at such things, but basically for me the second
semester is where you actually begin to do the work and you begin to integrate the
information. And that's the most important thing now. I’ve given you so much stuff,
you know that. I'm always amazed that your brains don't blow up; you’ve been
given so much information. And the only way to ground Design information is to
apply it logically. This is the work, you do the work. It is going to be very helpful to
have visual in front of you; obviously, the AI is really going to give you the help that
you need. But at the same time, you need to start doing that and you need to start
doing that at the highest level.
I know that I might make a lot of you feel uncomfortable in that, not everybody is
comfortable in those situations, but frankly, I can only say so what. It's really
important. Just the question of insurance brings to mind to what it means to make
sure that anyone who graduates from this program, it's me in the end that that’s
where the buck stops. If there really is somebody who really messes up I'm
ultimately responsible. I want to be comfortable with everybody who has a shingle
that hangs in the Center for Human Differentiation. I want to be comfortable with

183
their knowledge. I want to be able to be comfortable in defending their approach and

their professionalism and all the other things that go with it.
After all, we are dealing with the well-being of human beings. We're never going to
be dealing with the great unwashed, as it were. We’re not going to be dealing with
those who have not been introduced Human Design, who haven't already entered
into this process. And yet, at the same time, how important it is that the work that
is done at this level, this is the highest level of knowledge that is available for service
in Human Design, that it matches that statement that what is delivered there is
something that we can all be proud of. So, it is important for me that this whole
business of doing a thesis and being tested, I know it brings pressure and isn't
always the best way to judge somebody, but you can trust in my judgment. That is,
I know all of you and I’ve known you quite a long time and I'm very aware of what's
there.
What's important is that I need to have criteria, I need to be able to go when our
applications are made that I can say these are students, professionals who were
educated over a three-year program that they have passed blah, blah, blah, that
they have presented and so forth and so on. In other words, the protection of your
status as professionals at this level is something that is really important for me and
the certificate that goes on the wall has really got to mean something. And again,
that's going to make a difference as it were in the way in which I’m going to operate
over the over the next semester. So, bone up.
Transcriptions
One thing that I will do is that when you come back in January I will make all the
transcriptions available to you. The transcriptions from the first semester and I will
also make available to you transcriptions that are from the other programs that are
relative to knowledge that is of value to you. All I ask, obviously, is that you truly
respect the fact that this is not only copy written material, but it is professional
material and is not something that anyone else has a right to. I'm always concerned
about these things because I've experienced it so often in my career that people get
access to information that they are not ready to work with and they end up using
that information in ways that are simply unhealthy. And it's one of the things I’m
trying to stop.
Again, the legitimization of—it’s why the testing is very important for me. It is this
legitimization that establishes somebody who is a professional as different from
somebody who just says this is what they do. If they weren't educated at the IHDS,
if they weren't educated at this level, they then have no right to claim that, and we
can deal with them legally. So, all of this is very, very important. It was my goal
three years ago when I began this program that I realized that this would be the first
time that I could truly establish a legitimate professional educational program, and
that the graduates of this program carried in their education something unique and
special and something of value that needed to be protected.

184
It’s not like being an analyst, and even though the analyst program is a sophisticated
program today, we know how many people after reading one little manual of Human
Design think that they can do readings. And one of the things about AI is that if you
don't have this knowledge you can’t read this chart. You don't know what's there,
and you don't understand how to use it. You really don't. And this is always going
to be only something that is a part of what it is to be a practitioner or psychologist,
is to have tools that are are earned through the educational process; and again,
making it separate from any other kind of educational program that has been
available up to date.
HD Books
It's a real step into the legitimization of what we do. We are on the cusp of an
enormous breakthrough, I watch it everyday. It's spooky, and it doesn't stop. Now
that we’ve entered into a very exciting phase—our very first book going out into
bookstores—we’re on to the edge of having the wave really burst. And all these
things need to be in place, all of them. For me the establishment of the Center for
Human Differentiation is the completion of my three-year cycle, my three cycles of
seven years. I see this as really a crowning point in the development of this
knowledge. And that when this opens up in September, for me, along with the
trademark, along with Human Design being 21, it really is Human Design reaching a
level of maturity that it is ready, literally ready from whatever angle, it is ready for
its place in the world.
[Question from Cathy: What is the book?]

Ra: What book? Last year I encouraged Lela Swann-Herbert—you may have met
her at Ibiza last year, Dharmen’s wife—she writes beautifully. She is deeply, deeply,
deeply into Human Design. She has a 10 book arrangement with Jovian to develop
books for the general public. These books, by the way, are illustrated by our new
graphic art director, and they are gorgeous and they are beautifully written. The
first book is called: Your Own Authority. It is going to the printer in eight days and
we’re printing a lot of them. It’s the first of a 10 book series that we plan to publish
over the next three years. We will have books on child care and on this and that,
and on PHS and introductions to Psychology, and it goes on and on and on.
We are going to attack the bookstore market; this is where we’re going. And it is
extremely exciting and it is something very important. Not everybody can come to a
website and feel comfortable, it's difficult. But, you can buy a book and you can take
it home. And for the first time I feel really good about the publishing direction that
Jovian is taking. And these books are going to be a gateway to opening up an
enormous market.
So, it's all very exciting. As I said, we're at a point that—and you are part of this,
please understand that. All the work that we have done together over the many
years that we have been working together, this is really its culmination. That is, this
is the real foundation for the future of this knowledge. It is very exciting and it's all
coming together at the same time with the wave bursting and the gods are kind,

185
what else can I say. But, books are going to be something that are really going to
make a difference, so I’m very, very excited about it and I think it's great.
Questions, Answers, Sharing
Okay, that's my piece of business and it is our last time together in this semester so
I wanted to open it up to any of you who have comments or whatever and let's close
it out with a little interactivity.
Q: I just want to comment that this semester has completely filled me up. I don't
think I can think straight anymore. It's going to take some integration to get what
you've been saying somewhere where I can use it.
Ra: Yes, in many ways I feel the same way. That is, I’m in an extraordinary place in
my life. I never thought I would be here. I really didn't. I'm about to close my third
seven-year cycle. I'm about to turn 60 years old, so I'm completing the Chinese
round of five 12-year cycles. I have completed all of my outlining of the mechanics
of the knowledge that I was given. I have figured out how everything works. It's a
very, very funny place to be.
There are moments that I just sit very still and there is a kind of creeping emptiness
around me. I don’t know how to describe that. It's very odd. So I understand,
because this first semester at the end of this year is the most profound experience I
have ever had in my life. I've never had anything like this. I have never operated at
such a level of strategic consciousness, because that's what I am; I'm a pure
strategic mind. It has been really remarkable.
I’ve watched the movie after all; I don't take credit for things. I know the joke. I
know that I'm just a passenger watching the movie. And so I watch the movie, and
I am often in such a state of wonder that I find it difficult sometimes just to stay with
the program, to stay with the movie. And the digestion of it is time. We have time.
We all have time. Our value to the plane is one that grows with our growth. We
don't have to rush for it. They will be there as we're ready. This is the way that it
is.
We will all digested it in our own way. It will take years, years and years and years
for all of it to really sink in. It's so much. It’s not necessary for a human being to
know this much, it really isn’t, I know that. I’m a practical man. I know that you
need to know what you need to know. That's all. But if you're going to teach, if
you're going to be of service, then there is a burden to know more than you need to
know—the nuance, the little things. The glory of the 9th gate; God, I love that gate,
what a wonderful thing, the miracle of one little thing after another.
As an ego Manifestor I never understood such a thing, that if you slowly day-by-day,
brick-by-brick do your work, you build the Great Wall of China. It's amazing. I've
watched this happen, it is incredible, just little bits of fact, one after the other, year
after year after year, and then you get to here. You get to the glory that’s there in
this image. Wow, to be able to step out of the wheel, that's really something.

186
Q: I love that there’s no neck. And before I ask my little nibbling question, I wanted
to say it sounds almost like you have a post-partum thing on, Ra. The nibbling
question is: You had said at one point that we should try and select whether we
wanted to be left or right when we split the classes, I’m wondering if that’s still true
or you’re just going to designate them for us.
Ra: No, I will have certain classes that are specifically only left-oriented or only right-
oriented. And those that have chosen left or right will be in those classes, and those
that aren’t will get a transcript, but I don't want them in the environment while I'm
doing it. I think it's very important to do that. As I said, nobody will miss out on the
information. So don’t feel like if you really want to point towards the right that
you’re going to miss out on all that good left stuff. I’ll make sure that everybody
gets the information. But in terms of actually being active in the environment at the
time that I do the teaching, I would prefer to keep that very, very rigid—those that
want to deal with the left or those that want to deal with the right—it will be very
important in terms of my approach, that's still a significant.
[Written question from Elfriede: Ra, you said, we will get transcripts of the first
semester. Do you mean the just passed winter semester 07? What is about the
transcripts of the years 1 and 2, will there be a possibility to have those too?]
Ra: Yes, Elfriede, I know about the previous years. I will debate that within myself.
My intuition right now doesn't have an answer. I think it’s very important to get this
semester and all the additional material that came out of Lunar and Planetary and
History of Geometry and Dream Rave, I think that is very important that information
is available and I think it's much easier for students to digest that; if it's not live, to
digest that through the transcripts themselves. I'm very uncomfortable with
releasing these transcripts before they are ready to be released, quite frankly. But
this semester, because it so seminal and so important and so much information has
been in it, I think it's essential that students have access to it. I’ll think about the
other, but we'll see. Maybe I can set up some kind of—I’ll think about it.
Q: Have you some feedback about our thesis subjects?
Ra: Well, I didn’t meet any that I didn't like. It's hard to go wrong because there
are so many interesting things to work on. Some of them are very exciting as
potentials. I'm here to encourage your unique outer authority. You all have so
much knowledge now and within your particular approach that's what I'm most
interested in seeing. I'm interested in your outer authority. That's what's
interesting to me, that's really, if you want think about it in terms of what is this guy
going to grade, what is it based on. It’s based on the quality of your outer authority.
I don't need you to repeat me, because I know me. It’s about you. So, whatever
the subjects are isn’t the point for me. I don't care what subject you choose really,
unless it doesn't work, and nobody really had that. It's about what comes out. It’s
the outer authority that I'm interested in and that I can't know until I meet it. I'm
looking forward to it after all; otherwise, I wouldn’t do it. It is something that I think
is going to be fascinating, so let’s wait and see.

187
Q: That’s an interesting place. I notice that when I do quote you to other people
they immediately say, well, how do you know that. I have a particular example. I
was just practicing explaining seven-centered and nine-centered, and they had the
gate of doubt, they just said I don’t believe you, how do you know the seven-
centered and nine-centered. It was so interesting to send me back to—I don’t know,
find it integrated in me, so that I can express it.
Ra: Yes, it’s one of those questions that you can’t satisfy those people. It’s like
when people said to me: why 88°? They were always asking me, why. I can
rationalize an answer for you, because you can see it in the mechanics. If it were
90° nothing would change, but that's not the answer. The answer was: I don't
know; that's what I was told.
And of course, the same thing is true with the seven-centered to the nine-centered, I
don't know. The only possible proof that I could have and I’ve mentioned this many
times before is that it's clear to me that the body temperatures of seven-centered
and nine-centered beings were different; that is, seven-centered beings were cooler
than nine-centered beings. So, that would have been the only way of scientifically
being able to say that there's something very different about the mechanisms.
A lot of that has to do, and I know I get a lot of these questions over the years about
the transition between seven-centered and nine-centered, but the development of
the solar plexus system from being minor to major, from its seven-centered
configuration to its nine-centered configuration is probably one of the main reasons
of the heating up, but it's clear that the body temperature of nine-centered beings is
much higher, we’re much more mutative. It's a much higher body temperature than
seven-centered beings.
I never ask people to believe me. The old-timers amongst you know that I would
stand up in front of an audience in a public lecture the first thing I would say is:
don't believe and don't trust me. It's true. If you’re going to believe me and trust
me you’re crazy. Don’t do that. You have to trust your authority, after all.
Human Design is provable in different ways. Not in terms of how why there's this
particular thing or that particular thing as an example, but the way in which it
operates, the fact that it operates successfully, the way that these things that can be
measured. Type, for example, was substantiated just through simple statistical
analysis, an analysis that is so clean that it is not something that could be made up,
so, there are many, many different areas within the information that could be
substantiated.
For example, in the theme that, for example, Andrea is working on, being able to
take people who know nothing about Design and you give one group their Strategy
and Authority and their PHS, and you give another group just some kind of you know
New Age fuzzy Bunny bullshit and then three weeks later you switch them around.
The results are going to be as clear as clear can be. We’re going to see that.
The thing about Design is that it can be substantiated scientifically from many,
many, many different levels. But when it comes to why, when it comes to can you

188
prove going from seven- to nine-centered, no. It would be nice, as I said, body
temperature would do it. But you can't, any more than I can say, why there's 88°.
Again, I don't know. It’s like the G center, why the hell is it called a G center. I
don't know. Honestly I don't know. I don't know if the G stands for something, I
don't. My assumption it doesn't stand for anything. It's actually the shape that
matters. But then again, that's me, I don't know.
I don't know how to say Rave. I just say it the way it's spelled. But then again, I
never heard it; I was only showing it so I don't know. Maybe it is—sounded out as
‘Ra’ then ‘va’ with a long second ‘a’—I don’t know. I have no idea. There's so many
things at that level that will always be mysteries in a sense, because what can I do,
I’m a mystic. There are some things that there is no answer. I can only send you to
the Voice, go ask the Voice.
Genoa: I guess you could say: if you dare. It was interesting, after the radio show
that I did with a young woman in the youth group who has staged a recovery from
borderline personality disorder through the Human Design. I did receive an inquiry
from a PhD psychologist who was interested in researching that because she felt that
it was actually worthy of a scientific paper. I wasn't sure whether the young woman
would be up for that or even interested. But, I thought it was interesting that she
inquired, and maybe that will development sometime.
Ra: I think that more and more, obviously particularly through PHS and Rave
Psychology—any psychologist who is really open will recognize that this is the only
psychology that matters.
[Written comment from Randy: for me 7 center to 9 center was a process not an
event ... in other words it took time before and after 1781]
Ra: By the way, Randy, I agree with you. I agree with you in the sense that it
certainly didn't happen on a dime. I don't think, though, like the coming Raves I
don't think that there were any seven-centered beings born after 1781. I doubt it.
However, I think it was a gradual process over a 30 or 40 year period of the
emergence of the nine-centered. There may be a few anomalies, there always are,
but certainly it was a gradual process.
Again, like anything, it’s like people talking about their Kiron and the assumption
that it happens on their Kiron return. It starts 3½ years before, basically, and you
get to feel it out about 3½ years later, and in all that stuff. We’re always moving
through processes. I think that's true, particularly for 6th line beings to understand
these transition points, that to go from the 3rd line phase to the roof phase isn't
something that happens automatically. As a matter of fact, some people never really
get on the roof, because they never shake what happened to them in the Saturnian
phase. So, these are processes, there's no question about that.

189
[Written comment from Randy: failed experiments .... mutations .... autism as an
example]
Ra: Failed experiments? Yes, exactly, exactly, exactly.
By the way, Genoa, I commented this to Randy in the mail the other day. I was very
impressed with the two of you together on the radio the other day. I thought that
was a brilliant piece and I think that Randy your whole presentation of breakdown
breakthrough is something that so many people need to understand and they don't.
It is very profound. I thought it was a wonderful piece. And those of you who
haven't heard it, by the way, listen on the weekend because it was really terrific.
Genoa: Oh, I did feel that I was speaking to Master Yoda himself.
Ra: Yes, if you got him in a wet kitchen he would be superb.
Genoa: There is actually more to that interview. I’m looking forward to posting I
believe next week.
Josette: It did put a big smile on my face, this segment. It was a masterpiece.
Ra: Well, you know this is the wonder of luck. I love the word ‘luck.’ I consider
myself to be incredibly lucky. And it is a lucky person that is ready to surrender to
breakdown. Not everybody is that lucky. You have to be lucky; the gods have to
smile on you.
I have a number that runs around in my head and basically it's the 1% number. You
look at a hundred people who are in crisis and one of them is lucky. And it is
hopefully the possibility of our fractals, each and every one of us in our world that
we live in, that that lucky person can find us or that we meet them, because then
breakthrough is possible. But until you embrace it—I mean, if you’re going to fall,
fall, fall, fall; fall hard, and then you can get back up. And so many people just can't
do it, they just can't do it. They can’t surrender to the breakdown. You’ve got to be
lucky. You have to be lucky.
I think I’m going to leave it on that note; that was a real good note. I'm lucky to
have all of you, I what you know that, and I mean that. Well, enjoy your break; give
you a chance to keep your brains from dissolving and give you a chance to dig in
little. If you want some real brain shattering show up in December for my heretical
moment. You shouldn't miss that one. Anyway, to all of you, you take care, and do
enjoy the movie, it’s a great one. Until next time, whenever that is, bye for now.
