Ra explains the six specific role gates that are a binary process we all go through, as
well as all of the other 30 roles, 12 per circuit.
Everything that I‘m going to do in this series is really about giving you a way to look
at the fact that you
you are nothing but roles.
roles. It‘s something fascinating
fascinating to consider.
consider.
And it‘s not just about you having a Personality profile and you‘ve got a 1 st line. We
have a way of interpreting
interpreting that. We talk about the investigator
investigator or the introspective-
introspective-
st
ness. But that 1 line has a very important connection and it is in Design what we
call ‗genetic continuity.‘ That is, that all 1st lines have a fundamental relationship to
that all
each other. What can can be said ofof one 1 st line, wherever it may be, is really an
attribute that can be added to whatever the focus is of a particular 1 st line someplace
else.
The other thing is that within the bodygraph there are six specific role gates. They
are role gates about a binary process
process that we all go through. That is, we have inter-
nalization roles and we have externalization roles, and we have them in three differ-
ent ways. We have certain roles thatthat we take on when we areare in the collective and
when we have collective
collective pursuits. And there are certain roles that we take
take on —and
when I say ―take on ,‖ they are natural for us when we are in the process of self -
empowerment. And we have specific
specific roles that we take on
on when we are connected
to the tribe. How different you
you are when you
you are having a get-together
get-together with family
or with tribe, however you want to interpret that, in which you have a certain kind of
inherent supportive role that you take on and how different that is when you are in
the collective and it‘s a totally di fferent situation.
As a matter of fact, even more interesting than that, in a way the serendipity of this,
is that tomorrow we enter into the Left Angle Cross of Masks. It‘s something really
to understand about
about humans and their
their faces. It is their faces that
that reveal more than
than
anything else their role. If you go back
back into the history of theater, you go back
back into
ancient times, particularly with the beginning of formulized theater in the Mediterra-
It‘s an extraordinary
extraordinary thing about our faces.
faces. And it‘s something really
really to grasp about
these six different
different role aspects
aspects that we all
all have and live out. This is what
what I truly
want to get across.
across. In order for you to really understand,
understand, as an example your
your Per-
sonality profile, because this is really where this leads you, the line of your
Sun/Earth, is to give you an opportunity that when we say this represents approx-
imately 70% of your programming, the neutrino information that we receive from
the Sun, that the line that is there in the Personality configuration doesn‘t simply
represent one aspect of being, one aspect of the nature of being.
When we look at the Personality side, at being able to have a framework to look at
somebody, we looklook at their being and their seeing. That is, the Sun/Earth
Sun/Earth and the
Nodes. This being that
that you see in your profile is made up of
of six components.
components. These
are the components that we‘re going to be looking at in terms of these role gates.
In other words, we have tribal roles and we have individual roles and we have collec-
tive roles, regardless
regardless of whether or not we have a lot of
of this or that. We have recep-
tivity to everything and we live in a conditioned world.
The moment that you enter into a tribal supportive environment, it automatically
brings out that aspect of your profile and the way in which it deals with being in that
environment and the role that it takes on, the face that it takes on, because it really
takes on a face. It‘s actually quite something.
something.
Here you can see in the graphing that we have the 7 (see next page) , so everything
that‘s over here on this side is related to the 7 th gate, and everything on the right-
hand side is the 13th gate. You can see
see that the keynote
keynote that is going to be the ge-
neralized keynote that we‘re going to be looking at throughout this process, whether
it‘s collective, individual, or tribal is that we have externalizing roles and we have
internalizing roles, and they‘re very di fferent.
That moment where you‘re caught by yourself and somebody walks into the room
and they look at you and they say, ―What‘s going on,‖ it‘s because they see some-
thing in that face
face of yours.
yours. But that‘s not an external
external face. It‘s not a face you would
would
naturally show them if you were externalizing your personality,
personality, you wouldn‘t. They
caught you unaware; and they caught you with an internalized face, in that sense.
I‘m connecting it to the physical face because it‘s very important because those are
our role masks.
masks. Everybody‘s face
face changes depending on whether are in a co l-
whether they are
lective situation, an individual situation or a tribal situation. All the work that
that I do on
expanding the understanding of the Personality is to bring everybody the opportunity
to see the mapping of the
t he way in which they operate.
When you see what the archetype is, in other words, every human being is predis-
posed to differentiate, this is the great law that Human Design presents as a science.
In other words, we are all born with both a physical and personality potential to dif-
ferentiate and differentiation is the ultimate goal, to express the purpose of our uni-
queness.
So often you hear this said so much about the relationship of adults with their par-
ents. How they would
would finally like to be able to talk to them,
them, or treat them,

ever the case may
may be, or be treated in such a way.

way in which
which the nerves
operate and the way in which the facial muscles operate all of this is a c hemistry and
it is responding to the environment.
It‘s one of
of the most fascinating things about your body, your vehicle. Is that

The moment that you do, the moment you descend into the conditioning of that, and
we will see that like anything else because of the nature of conditioning you can be
pulled away from, or conditioned to believe that your role in this thing or that thing
should be different.

part of our magic,
magic, after all. And
it‘s part of the beauty and the complexity of what it is that we are.
The Collective
What is important about that is when you‘re looking at your profile , one of the as-
pects that you‘re looking at is what the social
social dynamic of you as a being is. What is
that social dynamic?
dynamic? And you‘re only going to find thatthat in the resonance
resonance from the
collective role gates as they apply to your particular line in your profile. When we‘re
talking about your social ro les, we‘re talking about two kinds of social roles: The
Externalizing role and the Internalizing. Again, we‘re going to be working withwith this
basic division.
The 7th Gate: The Role of Self in Interaction with the Other
Let‘s think about the gates for a m oment. The 7th gate is the role of the self in inte-
raction with the other.
other. Everything about the
the nature of logic is that logic is all about
about
looking forward. It is always
about tomorrow. It is always
about the next year and the next
thing. It is always about this
movement into the future. And
everything about the logic, collec-
tive is this externalizing of interac-
tion. And it is this externalizing of
of
interaction to be of influence ulti-
mately. And to be of influence in
terms of being able to share what
is the right pattern to follow.
So, I‘m not somebody who is just going to go out and externalize simply to have
influence. That‘s not who I can can‘t be going out there tr ying

But it also means that the only way that your being can influence others, externaliz-

of their interaction with others.
If you look at somebody who has a 1 st line Personality you see yes, in externalization

means that they don‘t have what it takes to be that authority , then they‘re not going
to be of influence.
But when you go over to the Internalization side, the taking in —and again, this is all

other. It
is just a basic pole-to- pole; it‘s a field of energy going back and forth.
When you go over to the 1 st line of the internalization of the 13th gate, the Fellowship
of Man, the gate of secrets and all of these things you get the Empath , and how
different the Empath is from the Authoritarian.

because it doesn‘t work that way.
It goes back

why do you keep your mouth shut when you‘re listening to somebody and you really
want to tell them that they‘ve got it wrong, when in fact when you‘re going out the
door it‘s very easy for you to be that Authoritarian. They‘re different things. They‘re
different aspects
aspects of the totality that ultimately
ultimately is your being.
being. We are very,
very, very
complex creatures in that way.
Externalization Themes
Ok, let‘s take a look at the Externalization themes. We begin with the 1st line and we
begin with the Authoritarian.
Authoritarian. Think about the lower trigram because you can can see
that there is this obvious divide
that is here. The lower trigram is
self-absorbed. It‘s not like they‘re
supposed to be out there sharing
all the time. As a matter
matter of fact,
they don‘t necessarily share u n-
less, 1st line, they get to a point
where they‘re finally comfortable
with the foundation that they have
secured; or 2 nd line, that they get
drawn into a situation where they
have to know what‘s goi ng on in
order to give authority over to
somebody else, the typical demo-
crat. And the 3rd line, somebody
bumps into you and in the 2nd line
sense somebody gives you the
call.
If you look at the 2nd line you have the Democrat. I don‘t want to confuse this in a
sense with democracy
democracy because it will be a problem. The Democrat is a way of say-
bother me, you look after it.‖ All 2nd lines are like that —don‘t bother me,
ing, ―Don‘t bother
you look after it. You really have to call them; they have
have to get the call in order
order for
them to actually want to get involved.
But you can see, for example, the 3 rd line, the Anarchist. The Anarchist
Anarchist is something
that you don‘t want to awaken all that often as an ext ernalizing role, because of
what is it going to do; it‘s going to tear things down. And it‘s going to say, ―This
pattern doesn‘t work,‖ and it put everybody back into a tizzy about what the pattern
is going to be.
The thing that‘s important is to underst and that these terms in this lower trigram
context only apply to an aspect of your being when that being is Externalization.
You‘re not an Anarchist when it comes to the way you take things in. That‘s not
taking things in, you‘re going to be a Pessimist.
what the role is about. When you‘re taking
It‘s very different. Yes, there are we‘re talking about 3 rd line conti-

nuity, but it‘s not the same.
same. We take on different roles
roles depending on the situation.
If we go over to the right hand side, take the example of the P essimist. Let‘s say
that you‘ve got a 3 rd line Personality and somebody comes over to talk to you and
they‘re telling you about how they just got an exciting new job and they‘re all
cranked up and way of taking that in is to be pess i-
and they‘re all excited. Your natural way
mistic. It‘s your natural way to take it in. Inside, whether
whether you articulate it or not,
that‘s another story, as you take that in , there‘s a basic pessimism about whethe r
that person can actually fulfill the possibility of that and there is a doubtfulness that
moves into it.
From my perspective

Think about how unpleasant it is, I don‘t know if that‘s a common experience, ma ybe
that‘s just my individuality, but those kinds of situations where a friend of yours and
a family member, those forces are brought together with you at the same time.
There is a real confusion of the way in which you speak, the way in which you look.
If you could see the face, you would see that the face is under enormous pressure to
the point that it can

twitching because it‘s very different. We go through
these incredible role shifts and all of us are deeply familiar with it because all of us
are semi-professional face readers. We do it all the time. We look at somebody‘s
somebody‘s
face and we read it or we try to read it. Many people are very good at reading
reading it;
many people are very good at displaying it.i t.
To really understand
understand that it‘s not about
about that there‘s only one; this
this is the thing. Yes,
you‘re going to have those situations where somebody, for example, is a Sphinx,
they‘re going to have a Sun/Earth 7/13, you‘re going to have people who are very,
very focused in a certain aspect of their role. But for most of us that‘s not the case.
For most of us we have a balance, a mix inside of us of these six different roles that
make up our being, and how important
important it is for us to exalt in their difference.

difficult to get there, because it demands that you
you are correct
correct in your nature. Be-
cause there is no other way really to control
control that because it‘s so easy,
easy, there are so
many tendencies within us —open centers, not-self strategies that will say, ―Why
don‘t you stay with being the Authoritarian, it works. ‖ Try that in bed. It doesn‘t
work.
Then you end up in situations where you try to spend your whole life living out the
role that you get out of the 59th gate only to discover that it doesn‘t work f or you in
any of those other
other aspects. The beauty is to surrender to the multi-dimensionality of
what we are and for you to recognize it, for you to begin to see the shifting, and to
begin to see the shifting in the other.
other. We do have the capacity to actually
actually see in
another person‘s face
face the shifting of the role. You can
can see it. You simply have to
know the face.
It leads one to speculate on the fact that because of the way in which the Rave is
going to operate as a Penta that they probably will have a very flat facial expression,
which may add to dilemmas for them when they start coming into the world as being
diagnosed as having real problems because they are not going to have this externa-
lized nuance in the face, the face muscles will be very flat.
So, it‘s just interesting to speculate how d ifferent they will be and how difficult it will
be for us to read them. In the same way way that it‘s like trying to read the expression
on your dog‘s
dog‘s face. It‘s a kind of
of guessing game, because it doesn‘t really work.
We‘re not trained
trained for that. When I say ―trained‖ just the way we we are genetically
determined in that sense.
So, one of the things I really want you to watch is in the beings around you, the ones
where you know their design and you know their profile, watch their faces, begin to
pay attention to the fact that you‘re being given a window to the various aspects of
their roles and you‘re
you‘re going to be able

analysis. In other
Ok, let‘s take the example of the 2 nd line of the 13, the Internalization.
Internalization. Taking
somebody in through a barrier system, because that is what the B igot is. It‘s also
interesting, for example, that limit-
ing who will access you doesn‘t
mean you‘re a Bigot in terms of the
way you
you Externalize. As a matter of
fact, you Externalize as a Democrat.
The very person that you would not
take in is the same person that you
could actually give outer authority
to. And that‘s really something to
think about.
But it doesn‘t mean because you get a phone call from somebody and you imm e-
diately have the reaction of, ―Oh, God, I don‘t want to see them,‖ doesn‘t mean that
when you‘re out in the world and you bump into them that it can‘t be a pleasant
experience. In other words, it‘s very different.
different. But taking them in, you don‘t
don‘t want
to take in the deep impact that can have on you. All 2 nd line beings are very
that they can
open to being impacted. They‘re very open to being called to what can be a drive for
the rest of their life, and they need to be very clear there are those barriers in place.
But again, it doesn‘t mean the barriers have to be someplace else. There is no bar-
rier, in that sense, in the 2 nd line of Externalization. There isn‘t. There is simply a
way to avoid by saying, ―All right, I voted for you, you go do it
i t and leave me alone.‖
When we come to the 3 rd line and we come to the Pessimist, again, the 3 rd line is not
everything is ok. For the 3rd line it can never be this way.

And there is nothing more important to them when they are taking in the outside
world than to take

world with a deep pessimism.
pessimism. This is in their na-
ture, and it‘s essential for them.
The other thing is that this pessimism is one of the healthiest things for a 3 rd line
being. It is healthier than just about that the 3rd line being possesses as its
about anything that
attribute in its nature. The reason for that is that if the pessimism is exalted, if it‘s
simply surrendered to and accepted in terms of the way in which one takes in the
outside world, then it doesn‘t set one up for a fall in the disappointment that love
doesn‘t work or careers
careers don‘t work or this doesn‘t work or that
that doesn‘t work. There
is this very clear, ―Yeah, well, I didn‘t think it was going to work,‖ and it‘s not about,
―I have a problem.‖ It is simply about being pessimistic about life‘s possibilities.
Being pessimistic about life‘s possibilities is the way in which the 3 rd line being takes
the other in. This is not about externalizing.
When we move upward and we move into the upper trigram we really change the
feel entirely, because the upper trigram is the transpersonal, it‘s all about the tran s-
personal. Here you‘re dealing with the most
most transpersonal of circuitry

the collective, this essential need to socially share with others, to share the past, to

But simply being able to go out and network doesn‘t mean you get the votes, doesn‘t
mean you have the support.
Of course, this is always the dilemma for the 4 th line being. They invest

it doesn‘t mean that everybody in the network is willing to accept your externalized

Here we have the Abdicator. So, what the Abdicator really means in this context

obvious about these

role gates operate differently when they have different sources of power, or they
have no sources of power.
The thing to see about the 7 th and 13 th gates that when they do have their harmonic
connection on the other side of the channel and the definition is there, that you have
what is in fact a projected ele-

that is non-energetic.
Despite the fact that these are the collective roles and they are the most social and
they‘re the ones that are here to share, these roles don‘t necessarily jump out all the
time. They need to be recognized.
recognized. And it is this recognition that is so important.
Your role will never be recognized if your face doesn‘t naturally
naturally display it. That‘s
really something to think about.
I‘m a parent so I have this deeply in my psyche, this kind of thing where I‘m a n-

Yet, that face that you put out to the world, all you‘re looking for is recognition and
out of that recognition,
recognition, power. This is one of the things that is part
part of the projecting
process. I love the way the Gods play the game,game, ―The large print giveth and small
print taketh away.‖ You get a little of this and

of that. But, these can

roles. The Authoritarian that
that is trying to
act out the authoritarianism and it can end up being just a very, very empty role.
So, if we‘re looking at the General then we‘re dealing with a role in which once in
awhile, depending on the situation, there is this possibility to externalize that Gener-
al‘s role, but not all the time. And it takes recognition. They are going to have to be
asked, they‘re going to have to be told, there are people that are going to need
them, and they‘re going to have to be within their social environment, those forces
that are going to ask for their services. It‘s not like they‘re just going to push it out.
So, when it comes to really understanding ―what do I do with all of this,‖ aside from
the fact that it‘s interesting , as all analytic

structural knowledge is. What it should
remind you of is how important it is to stay within your own experiment and look out

the 13th gate is an anchor for us in many ways because it anchors the whole expe-

we‘ve come from.

we end up being homogenized.
So, one of the things that is inherent in the fatigue is this homogenized world that
one has to deal with. And you can see the difference there between the way way the 4

themes. That is, the theme
of love, the holding of us together and pulling others towards us, and the theme of
direction, this movement in space.
Of course, you can see here that when we‘re dealing with the 7 and the 13, because
of this very relationship to this direction, that they are part of this process of aligning
us to directions. So, the 13 takes

that‘s interesting about
the savior is this ability to help people to align

This is the forking of the paths; this is about the fertile splitting of the way in which
we‘re moving forward. Tha t is, the continuation to the close of the present human
line and the opening of the Rave
Rave mutation line after 2027. So, we have a greatgreat deal
of mutation that is inherent in the collective role, particularly through the 13 th gate.
To really see that everything about the 6 th line is that the 6 th line is our guide to
what‘s coming. We have been living in a 1 st line era since the beginning of the
1960‘s. This 1st line era will come to an end, we‘re on the Cross of Planning and
we‘re in the 1 st line, this is a retrograde process, because it‘s the precession of the
equinox, we‘re moving towards the 55 th gate and we‘re moving towards the 6 th line,
because again, it‘s a retrograde movement.
Everything about the advent of the nine-centered being in 1781, all of this has been
guided by the mutation or the mutative potential that‘s inherent in all 6th line pro-
files. So, the moment that you‘re looking at a 6 th line profile, you‘re not looking at
simply one theme of externalization or internalization in the example of these collec-
tive roles, or any of the others, for that matter. But you‘re l ooking at this movement
that they go through. In many ways, 6th line beings have the most confused roles.

It‘s clear to me that their first 28 years are formative in the sense that they are pr e-

their Saturn
beings. They don‘t really become, they don‘t begin to connect— as a matter of fact,
it‘s not like it happens on a dime that the moment that you hit your Saturn as a 6 th
line being you suddenly connect to your 6 th line process because it is very much a
developmental process.
I know a lot of young people who meet their Saturn and it takes them years, 33, 34,
35 years old, before they can finally let go, if at all, it depends on the power of the
not-self, to let go of the early 3rd line density,
density, because after all, it is so dense. Any-
th
one who is a 6 line being knows that, what kind of density they go through in their
life experience in that process.
One of the essential things for me to get across is this understanding of this meta-
morphic process that 6 th line beings go through,
through, and that there is dilemma. There is
no book written on ―off the roof.‖ If you look at all 6 th lines, it doesn‘t matter where
you look; you see 6 th lines in their binary.

And yet, that‘s a binary of

And yet, what is the off-the-roof Externalization and the off-the-roof Internalization?

But it‘s interesting because it‘s not somethi ng that can be written. There is, as yet,
no language for it other than what can be shared from that perspective of the 6 th line
beings who are post-Kiron and who are observing the way in which they externalize
and the way in which they internalize because it is not going to follow this pattern.
And if it is following that pattern,
pattern, then something isn‘t quite right.
right. And it makes the
understanding of the 6 th line more difficult; yet, at the same time, at least for me,
I have an assumption because the mutation is pointed towards the Rave that the
quantum here
here is the synthesis
synthesis of the collective roles. It is a synthesis
synthesis of it. It is
some kind of way in which these collective roles find a harmony because it is diffi-
cult, if you look at them and I have for a very long time, there is no real synthesis.
There is simply a line of continuity in the way in which they resonate to each other.
But for the 6th line being, there‘s something else, whatever
whatever that may be. I will leave
that for the future and we will see.
So, here we have the collective roles. And in those collective roles we have
have aspects
of the way in which we deal with the social collective, how we take the collective
how we move in the outside world. Obviously, that‘s an impo r-
outside world in and how

And ultimately, get to a point where we see the beauty of our malleability, how we

that is evidenced in our faces, in the roles that we have in the situations of our life.
In other words, an overall way of not only looking at the generalized quality of what
that particular theme is, but also understanding that it applies to different aspects of
our life in different
different ways. And allows us, in a sense,
sense, to really understand
understand what the
right role is for us in different situations. It is one thing to talk about roles within
within the
collective, but it‘s another
another thing entirely to talk about
about it in terms of the individual.

might add the same thing when we talk
tal k about the tribe.
Something to really to grasp about the 10 th gate is that it has an enormous impact
on our lives because it is directly connected as a role gate to something that is simp-
ly basic and fundamental.
fundamental. That is, it is connected
connected to our potential of survival,
survival, or to
survive.
When you‘re looking at the 1 st gate and the 10 th gate, you‘re looking at the possibil i-
ty of three different individual circuits that operate in the bodygraph. It‘s really
something to keep in mind about the disproportionate amount of individual as a po-
tential that is there in every
every human being. If it were not for that
that dominance of indi-
viduality within the construct of the bodygraph itself, we would not be able to expe-
rience the evolutionary phenomena
phenomena that we‘ve been through.
through. That is, we would lack
mutative potential.
So, everything about individuality, in that sense, when you see it in the context of
your profile, that what you‘re looking a t is the potential within you to be both crea-
tive, to have let‘s call it access to magic, or in fact, be very uncomfortable, to be
stuck with the melancholic, to be stuck with what is the unfortunate consequences
that comes to anyone that doesn‘t operate c orrectly.
But when you‘re looking at the 10, you‘re looking at two things. You‘re looking at
the identity at the heart of integration, and the integration channels truly represent
our individual potential to survive and to survive with creative potential in the now.
The 10th gate is also part
part of the centering circuit. the 10th gate, it
circuit. So, in looking at the
takes on a very interesting role in all of our lives, because in a way it defines what
our behavioral potential is.
Though most of us are familiar with the 10 th gate in the sense of these keynotes,
very few people really understand the relationship that is there between the 1 st gate
and the 10th gate. Not only that, when I look at the Rave I‘Ching, and it‘s been a
long time since that original Rave I‘Ching was written, it was in 1989 in a little town
outside of Frankfurt,

What I hope to be able to do today is really elaborate on the 1 st gate in its relation-
ship to the 10 th gate. I will go through
through these archetypes that we have in the 10th
archetypes that
gate, these behavioral
behavioral models that we have. But it‘s really something to see the way
in which this is divided. We have
have two basic themes
themes here. We have an Externaliza-
tion theme and we have an Internalization theme.
The Internalization
But externalizing
externalizing it? It is really something
something very, very different. And it‘s one of the
things about getting stuck with looking at your profile and seeing, for example, that
ok, you‘re a 1 st line Personality.
Personality. All right, that means that you‘re the Investigator.
But when you think about the Investigator and you think about their potential to be
able to establish that proper foundation, if you don‘t have what the Externalization
demands then it‘s not going to ha p-
pen. And if you look at the Externa-
Externa-
lization, if you look here, and again
we‘re just talking about the 1 st hexa-
gram, 1st gate, 1st line, if you look at
the theme of this 1st line, it is timing.
This is the thing that really makes the difference between ultimately the 10 and the
1. If you look at the 10, it‘s not interested in the world. It is absorbed
absorbed in its own
potential for correct behavior

They‘re caught up in their survival mode. And their survival mode means everything

As a matter of fact,

into the world.
world. Everything about harmonic of the 1st gate—the 8th gate—is all
about the harmonic
about being able to integrate into the world around you, being able to offer your
creative model to others, this so-called Creative Role Model that‘s there in the 1/8.
When you‘re dealing with strictly integration there is no capacity strictly in integr a-

tion to be able to transform the other. It is only through
that there is this possibility to transform the other, to mutate the other, to impact
the other. Think about the crisis
crisis of individuality, because the crisis of individuality is
the dilemma that is here, this dilemma is uncertainty.

uncertainty principle.
When you think about collective roles, they are rarely uncertain.

fused, but they are rarely

past. So, when you ask
them to make a decision, that decision is rooted in what is a certainty, their certain-
ty, based on either the pattern moving into the future or the experience of the past.
But when you ask an individual to do something or they want something or whatever
the case may be, the chances are they have no idea. They‘re mutative. They ope r-
ate in a pulse. So, they know and they don‘t know. They know and they don‘t
know. And they know and they don‘t

and they don‘t know.
Uncertainty is something that is always

tainty cannot be overcome by the mind. The not-self mind is not going to overcome
uncertainty, it‘s going to take advantage of uncertainty to drive you into decision
making that takes you away from your nature.
The uncertainty in the individual is something that if you don‘t operate correctly, this

fall into place. And basically what
what this guide is all about is to give you a sense
sense of
that potential within you and to see something that regardless of what line you are —
1 to 6—that there is a very special capacity, tool, aspect that‘s necessary for you in
order to successfully externalize.
It‘s like anything else that the passenger conscious ness takes in. When the passen-
ger understands

externalize the magic. You won‘t

The whole dilemma for the individual is that despite the fact that the 10 th gate says,
―Look, the only
onl y thing that‘s important is i mpor-
i s that I survive. The only thing that‘s impo
tant is that I‘m
I‘m alive.‖ And of course,
course, for the individual

even half the
story. Yes, survival is obviously deeply important. But individuals are not here
simply to survive,
survive, they are here to mutate. Without the mutation we do not have

transformation. Without the mutation
mutation we have no evolution. Without the mutation
we have no creative spark; it‘s not there.
It‘s not enough that you have all of these individuals walking around with their ind i-
vidual roles within themselves, but it‘s their capacity to be able to externalize it; this
is what makes the difference. It will also make it so much easier for the individual to
be able to find its place within the community. Individuality is always
always the outsider.
It‘s born to be an outsider.

So, when you‘re an individual and you‘re moody, what happens is that you get up in
the morning and you‘re not in a great mood and you walk out of your space and you
meet somebody, and of course they can feel it and see it, because it‘s obvious, it‘s a

―What do you mean you don‘t know, how can you not know?‖ Well, individuals can

So this Timing for the Investigator, this is something very special. All Investigators

If you have a 1 st line Personality and you‘re operating correctly, the Timing will come
naturally if your mind doesn‘t get in the way and start ge tting nervous. This is the

package. You operate correctly, those things will operate
operate cor-
rectly. But there is a gap. There‘s always a gap between the internalizing process
and its maturation and the ability to be able to externalize. And it‘s in that gap,
which is about time, that the dilemmas arise in the mind, the uncertainty becoming a
problem in the mind. Of course, that uncertainty is going to feed on whatever the
not-self is. So you have somebody with an undefined

So, we have a basic foundation here of simply recognizing that in operating correctly

that capacity is something that in

You can see that in the Martian d eterminant of the line because it‘s about desires
and passions, self-expression limited by desires and passions . And it is this balance
that the Hermit needs, this balance between the pleasure of externalizing, because
that pleasure in externalizing is a key for

Beauty, how wonderful it is to be called out to your potential. And we have to see
something. If there is no pleasure, this is deeply disturbing

Internalization and externalization operate just fine when you‘re correct, but there‘s
always this gap

moodiness and the potential of the uncertainty and the melancholy in an individual it
brings all of these psychological dilemmas that can get in the way of fulfilling the

This is the great 3 rd line gift. And the

the anarchist is here to tear down
what doesn‘t work.
On the other side, not simply a deep need for self-expression, a profound self-
expression, but the energy for it. But there is always
always something that the Martyr has
to accept. It doesn‘t matter how clear, how aware their perception of what doesn‘t
work, they‘re going to have to pay a price
price always. It‘s the dilemma of of the 3 rd line
being. There is a Price to be Paid. It‘s why they‘re Martyrs. But it is one thing to be
a Martyr that is correct, and it‘s another thing to be a not -self Martyr. When you‘re a
not-self Martyr is there ever a P rice you‘re going to pay and you‘re not going to like
it.
The thing that the Martyr has to understand is that when it is operating correctly, it
will not be punished materially.

is always ready to offer its individuality as a model for others, its deepest goal within

So, the Martyr has a deep, deep need to externalize for the benefit of others; the

When we move upward and we go to the 4 th line, obviously we are moving from the
lower trigram to the upper trigram.
trigram. Again, we have a very, very different process.
The dilemmas that are here, that is, Timing, Beauty and Price, this Externalization
that is part of the aspect of a lower trigram profile; the lower trigram has no gift for
externalization. Truly, it doesn‘t. It
doesn‘t have transpersonal skills. So
the dilemmas that are here that we
have been discussing, they‘re difficult
simply because there is no natural
gift inherent in these themes to ex-
ternalize.
This is the key for the Opportunist because the O pportunist doesn‘t even get its po-
tential in life until it has built a proper network; everything about the Opportunist is
about who they know. you‘re a 4 th line being and you know three people, then

tunists are here to develop their

What‘s interesting about this whole 4 th line is that you can only develop your influ-
ence alone. The moment that
that you step out of that, it‘s lost. So, this is a very, very
lonely process.
process. Most people think of 4‘s as very social and con con nected to a lot of
people. Yes, on the surface it does appear

that somebody else is trying to help them with maintaining their network, everything
taking advice on how they should m aintain their

brings problems. The tension
that they deal with is trying to have the appearance of socialness, while at the same
time being separate

You get to see how 4‘s get pulled into their own
own networks. And when they get pulled
into their own networks, they lose all their power. All of this is about operating cor-
rectly and not allowing your mind to mess things up, because if you operate correct-
ly, the tension is a natural

Yet, the thing that‘s so interesting about the power of the Heretic in terms of Exter-

that sense.
sense. It represents
represents this larger model. And obviously there are
are many nuances
to that. I don‘t want to get into that,
that, we‘re just talking about larger themes.
But if you‘re an individual, that‘s not what it‘s about. The individual creative impera-
tive is to put mutation out in the world;
world; otherwise, everything is just stuck. So,
there are all kinds of people—you do a reading for somebody and you look at their
profile, you‘ll see that the general theme of whatever their I nternalization here is, it‘s
there. But they‘re not Externalizing that uniqueness firstly and fore mostly because
they‘re not operating correctly, so there is no chance in that sense for who they rea l-
ly are to come out.
The moment that your mind is controlling all of decision making, there is no way for
you to display your difference. And the display of difference is not a vanity. It‘s not
a provocation. It is your destiny. That‘s the thing. One of the dilemmas that I see
in profiles is that the Externalization process here in the individual aspect of your
profile, this is the thing that‘s most deeply lacking in the way in which human beings
operate. This is the part of you that is so deeply
deeply layered over by the homogenization
of conditioning. So that you‘re the martyr and

me up. So I‘m not going to do that.‖ There are so many human beings who do not,
cannot, will
will not, externalize what don‘t Externalize your
what is their true nature. If you don‘t
true nature, you don‘t fulfill your potential.
Now, I can understand the resistance when you‘re dealing with the lower trigram,
because externalization is always difficul t for the lower trigram. Always. It‘s why
operating out of Strategy and Authority is the only thing that will bring that out, will
bring out that Timing, that Pleasure, the Price that is acceptable.
acceptable. But when
when you‘re
you‘re
looking at the upper trigram, here is where so much of what is possible for humanity
is simply not there because it is not externalized.
It‘s so important to see that externalization is there naturally when you‘re correct.
But we live on a plane of incorrectness;
incorrectness; we live on a plane of the not-self. So, all of
this wonderful potential doesn‘t get out, and when it doesn‘t get out it turns on those
who don‘t get it out. It‘s the not -self pain and the not-self pain at the individual
level to end up living a life of depression and uncertainty about your own capacities,
about who you are,
are, and simply going along for
for the ride until you‘re dead.
dead. Not much
of a story.
It‘s like thinking about the 10th gate and looking at the 6 th line of the 10th gate. Be-
cause, after all, the 10 th gate is very, very important in the way in which we under-
stand the generalized purpose
purpose of a human being. It gives us these fundamental
fundamental
themes that we use in the description of every profile. They are are derived directly
directly
th
from this role gate. Then you come to this this gate and you come to the 6 line and you
see that it‘s a binary. It‘s just a basic binary. On one side you have the constant
example, and on the other side you have the hypocrite. It stops there and there‘s
nothing else.
It‘s only now that we‘re beginning to see the results of that; we‘re beginning to see
lives that don‘t end
end until you‘re in your
your 100‘s. We‘re beginning to see
see the extension
of our physical well-being late into our life providing us with the capacity to be able
to flower at a much later age.
But you can also see the confusion that it has brought. The Uranian age is an age
where until the mid-life you‘re really
really not ready
ready for the world. You‘re not mature yet.
The old Saturnian maturity
maturity at 15 is over. It takes us approximately
approximately 40 years just to
gain our footing.

gain our footing it takes
takes another dozen
dozen years, approx-
approx-
imately, in order for us to begin to develop our
our potential. And then our Kiron phase
where we can flower.
For the Role Model in this new era it‘s about being seen. This is the thing for them.
And understand the relationship
relationship that the Role Model
Model has with the Martyr. Obviously,
we have not simply a harmony here, but it ‘s deeper tha n that because of the 3 rd line
phase that the 6 th line being goes through. The confusion that arises for most Role
Models is that they see ‗being seen‘ as Paying a Price, and it‘s not.
Of course, for the development of humanity, for our future we need 6 th line Role
Models to be visible, you need to see them. you‘re a Role Model, if you‘re a
them. And if you‘re
6th line being and you‘re post -Kiron and you‘re not available for others to see you as
a Role Model and you can do so without feeling uncomfortable, boy are you ever in
the right place because that‘s what it‘s about.
It is an enormous
enormous process. When you think about phase for a 6 th line being,
about the roof phase
it‘s like a desert island.

bei ng seen.
There is always
always going to be in the individual
individual process these mutative gaps. It‘s not
like the Role Model who, the moment that they have their Kiron return is ready to
jump out into the world. It‘s just means that the mutative clock is working. And at
some point, given that they‘re correct, it will be natural for them to step out and be
seen. But there‘s always this Timing process.
process. There‘s always this gap in between
these processes, between the Internalizing process and the Externalizing process.
If you are individual —if you have individual definition—the uncertainty is accen-
tuated. The potential

You begin to wonder whether
whether it‘s going to happen or not. And of course,

when you can be led astray

―Look, let‘s make a decision mentally and let‘s decide to do this and that.‖ And of
course, the whole game is lost.
Everything is about accepting that we‘re not in charge. That is, not who we think we
are. Who we think we are is not in charge. Who we think we are are is a passenger.
It‘s just looking out the windows. If you‘re operating
operating correctly, this theme in your
profile is going to be something comes alive. It‘s very important not simply to

what is

If you can‘t externalize your profile there is no purpose for you to fulfill; recognize
that. It is the externalization
externalization of it that is the completion of its process. The beauty

and the potential that is there for anyone who lives out their uniqueness is to be able
to demonstrate it, and not to fall back into the expectation and determination of
others. To be your ownown authority, to be correct in your

correctly in the way in which you externalize who you are.

The 59 Gate: Genetic Imperative to Reproduce/To Take
The 27th Gate: Genetic Imperative to Give Our Energy to Others/To Give
In continuing with the way in which the information is structured, again you can see
that it is divided up into two basic groupings. That is, on the right-hand side you see
the Internalization and on the left-hand sideside you see the Externalization. When

You are designed to give to those who are not like you, which can be quite confus-

In looking at these themes, it‘s very important to keep in mind that these are deeply

sacrally. For those beings that are Generators or Manifesting
Generators, these themes tend to dominate even more so in the way in which
they‘re represented within the general profile itself.
For those of who are not Generators, and I include myself as a Manifestor, Manifes-
tors and Projectors and Reflectors, this is a much more balanced aspect in terms of
the way it‘s integrated into the profile as a w hole. Obviously, if you are a Generator
and you have these specific gates, or you have definition through these channels,
then it can become a significant aspect of the way in which you operate on the out-
side.
This business of taking and giving is one of the most fundamental things about our
nature. These roles dominate in the way in which allall human beings deal with each
each
other. It basically
basically creates the nature of the world that we live in. Those that are
deeply uncomfortable with the taking or being taken, and those that are deeply un-
comfortable with the giving or the lack of giving or the way it‘s received, and so forth
and so on, this is the given and take of life, all of that is here in these particular
gates.
Let‘s begin by looking at the Internalization, the 59th gate, is all about the taking in.
Understand what
what I mean by that. We have roles that are built into us genetically.
genetically.
Given that these are genetic roles, we are designed in one way or another to attract
If we begin with the 1 st line—and again, something to keep in mind because it‘s del i-
cious, I was running through some of these before, for example, ignore the externa-
lized side for a second and just look at the internalization and think about it in terms
of profile. For example,
example, let‘s start with
with the 1/3. you‘re the 1/3 , you‘re a Penetrat-
1/3. If you‘re
ing Adventurer. That‘s quite differ-
ent than being an Investigative
Martyr. In other words, the mo-
ment a 1/3 being has been turned
on, attracted to somebody, whatev-
er the case may be, the moment
that they‘re going to have to deal
with the other, this is the theme
that is going to arise to the surface,
this Penetrating Adventurer.
When you‘re looking at the profiles of people around you and people that you‘re
interested in, whatever the case may be, when you‘re looking at the profiles of
clients, it is something really to keep in mind that these various keynotes that we
have been looking at over the last three weeks become enormously helpful in giving
you a holistic picture of the way in
i n which the profile operates.
The other thing to keep in mind before I go into any detail in this is the obvious, and
I repeat the obvious over and over again because it is the very truth of Human De-
sign. It is Strategy and Authority
Authority that aligns
aligns you to what is your correct role. The
pathway to the fulfillment of purpose is through the perfection

aligned to these aspects isn‘t about you mentally recognizing tha t this is not what
you‘ve been living out and you‘re going to change it all, because from the mental
plane there is really nothing you
you can do about it. It really is a mechanical thing.
thing.
And particularly when you‘re dealing with tribal roles, they are deep ly, deeply genet-
ic, they‘re buried deep inside.
Let‘s begin with number 1, the Penetrator. I had a nickname for this line for many,
many years;
years; I called it the caveman/cavewoman.
caveman/cavewoman. You‘re dealing withwith a lower tr i-
gram theme. You‘re dealing with self- absorption; you‘re dealing with looking inward.
Always remember that when you
have a 1st, 2nd or 3rd line in a gate
that it‘s very absorbed in the gate
process, but is rather ignorant of
the fact that there is a channel that
they‘re a part of. And that
that at some
point or another there is something
at the other end of the channel that
can stimulate them, impact them,
bump into them, whatever the case
may be.
The Penetrator goes deeper into the other than anyone else, and deeper into the
other in order to see that there is some solidity

sense, and just to keep it within that perspective
perspective for a mo-
ment, they‘re not interested in taking the person next door, if you know what I
mean.
Of course, we all know that the 3 rd line carries the theme of Bonds Made and Broken,
and it‘s not surprising that given that they are the adventurer that they often blund-
er, they often make mistakes, and those mistakes are the genes favo rite gift. It‘s
my standing joke of the white European woman going to Jamaica and having a one-
night stand and getting pregnant. This is classic 3rd line adventure and the genes
love it. It‘s very cruel in that sense
sense because from the holistic point of view from the
being it can turn out to be quite a turmoil and difficult, and all of these other things.
In other words, driven into the genetic imperative that they cannot take what‘s bas i-
cally available, that they can only take what is really different from them, that this is
going to be the driving force. As it turns out, eventually that is really not going to be
for them. And so often these relationships are when that 6th line
are extremely difficult when
th
being goes up on to the roof and starts entering into their 6 line process.
When we‘re dealing with the 4 th line we‘re dealing with the theme of the Companion.
Now, I‘ve talked a lot over the years in the various sexual courses that I have given
that it can often be very difficult for 4 th line teenagers,
teenagers, as an example. You can
can be
friends with the boy or girl that you‘re really excited about and would really like to
have as your lover, and rather than
that you are simply their confidante.
You‘re simply somebody that‘s there
for them to talk to. It was my
standing joke that the 4th line being
and their friend on one of those
nights when nothing is going on and
they‘re together all of a sudden
something can happen. There is a
line that can be crossed.
When we‘re dealing with the 4th line we are dealing with the theme of voyeurism.
We are dealing with this theme of the companion that can stand back and hear the
stories. Boy or girl, you end up hearing things
things that as a companion

saved for same-sexed friends. The kind of of things that girls
girls tell girls and boys tell

boys, when you‘re a Companion, you get this voyeuristic opportunity to get the other
of this ongoing finding out and waiting. They are, after
side of the story. It‘s part of
all, opportunist. They are going to wait for that moment wherewhere friendship can
can be-
come a deeper physical intimacy.
It also means that for them without the Companionship there is no way of knowing
whether or not
not that being can be correct
correct for them at a deeper intimacy. Remember
that these are genetic strategies. They‘re perfect within themselves. Each and
every one of us has a predisposition to differentiate. And one of the deepest aspects

of the representation of our differentiation is there i n the profile.
So, when you‘re a 2/4, a 4/6, whatever the combination happens to be, the fact of
the matter is that
that without that opening friendship,
friendship, this is what
what you take first. You
take them in as a friend. This is the hook. And without that,that, well, there will be no

The 5 Line: The Seducer
As we move up, we get to the 5 th line, and when we get to the 5 th line we get to the
line of Seduction

Seducer. Seduction often has a bad name. And
being a 5th line being I have to defend seduction, at least I hope so because it feels
ok to me. One has no choice in this
life. You are what you‘re given
genetically. Seduction is the calling
out of intimacy from the other.
You can see what the problem is, is that if you‘re not operating correctly they bac k-
fire on you. They just do. And they can end up bringing a great
great deal of
of discomfort
into your life. It‘s very,
very, very easy to be conditioned away

very easy—the 2 line Loner who has all these friends who constantly want to drag
them out—―You‘re going to be an old maid and you‘re going to die in your bed.
Come on, we‘ll take you
you out. You need to meet more people.‖ It goes on all the
time.
Of course, Seducers learn very quickly, because as 5 th line beings they get the initial
positive projection, but so quickly that positive projection turns into, ―Don‘t try to
seduce me,‖ it immediately gets into all kinds of dilemmas because it‘s simply not

Think about
about them for a moment. When
you‘re dealing with a 6 th line being, if
you meet them in their first 30 years
they‘re living out the Adventurer. Nine
times out of ten, it doesn‘t work. So
you get all these early divorces, or
these early split ups, you usually end
up with single parents, this kind of
thing. Then they

inti macy.
So we have all of these very, very interesting profile themes that are there in terms
of the way in which wewe take in the other for
for their support. Think about that as well.
This is part of
of the design of being caught
caught up in a binary world. We do need the oth-
er. Humanity is built on this premise. So, it‘s an essential
essential ingredient
ingredient in our lives
that not only do we have the other, but that we are capable of bringing the correct
other into our lives.
From the very beginning when I first entered into this whole process, one of my
deepest concerns was that I was introducing the knowledge to people who were not-
self, that it was going to take at l east seven years for some of them to be able to get
out of that and begin to really see what is possible in this life in terms of relation-
ships. How incredible
incredible relationships can be.
As an integrative individual
individual I was born to be a loner.
loner. Yet, at the same time it‘s so
obvious to me that relationships are something that are so extraordinary and i t takes
a long time in one‘s process to get to that point where one is able, out of correc t-
mutually beneficial. It‘s one of t he
ness, simply to take in the other in a way that is mutually
most interesting things about
about the support mechanism that
that underlines this. Is that in
taking somebody in we are triggering a mechanism that demands that they support
us and we support them. It‘s a mechanism.
If you‘re not entering into relationships correctly, if you‘re not bringing the right
beings into your life, this whole bargain breaks down and somebody ends up suffer-
ing. Often the byproduct
byproduct of it is that there is a new life that comes
comes into the world,
world,
and comes into a world that can be in disarray. These themes are are enormously im-
portant for us in our lives, being able to be correct in our relationship with the other.
And being able to fulfill our potential by being correct in the way in which we enter
into relationships with the other.
The most important relationships in your lives now are not all these people that you
have known for all these years. Not friends, family, children,
children, lovers, whatever the
case may be. But the great adventure
adventure for all of you is every new relationship
relationship that
emerges in your life are the ones that you can truly enter into according to your
nature. And you can begin to discover
discover the difference. It‘s very difficult to see that
and it‘s very difficult to live out the purity of what you are when you‘re dealing with
forces ar ound you who are not aware, when you‘re dealing with forces around you
that are not-self.
But those occasions when you can meet somebody new and in entering into your
relationship the way you should be operating, and entering into that bond correctly
you will see right away that it‘s these themes that will emerge and they will be co r-
rect. And if the other being is there for you, they will be deeply
deeply attracted to what
your role is, because
because they‘ve been waiting for it. After all, everybody that
that you meet
in your life is on your fractal, everybody. And it‘s a matter in terms
terms of who is going
to be at the concretized level the intimate ones with you, this is a discernment selec-
tion process that is rooted in your operating correctly as yourself.
Of course,
course, this is the story. We are
not here simply to take in. The
tribe is the two Sacral gates of the
defense circuit. And at its most
mundane level, the 59 side is the
reproductive engine, and the 27
side is the nurturing engine. But
that‘s very mecha nism
very basic. It is a mecha
that is built in so that we will nur-
ture our young and they will be able
to survive and grow old enough to be able to reproduce themselves, and you have
the continuation of the genetic pool. But it‘s also much
much larger than that
that in terms of a
role. It is the general theme of the way in which you will
will offer of yourself to the
other, to any other in that sense.

The 1 Line: The Selfish
Again we‘re beginning with the lower trigram and when we start with the lower tr i-
gram you can see that the 1 st line is the line of
of the Selfish.
Selfish. Now, of course, that
sounds terrible. This is supposed to be about Giving. Here we immediately start off off
with selfishness.

selfish.
So, this 1st line theme here in the profile, if the 1 st line is not operating correctly, if
the being is not operating correctly, they have very little that they can offer the oth-
er. And if they have very little they can offer the other, no matter how successful

they are in penetrating, their relationships are simply not going to last, because
ultimately they have

that theme. It‘s built into the lines, it‘s there. The
moment that they are secure, the moment that they really have, that‘s the moment
they can begin to give.
When we get to the 2 nd line we get to the Giver. I think that this is one
one of those
things going through all of these roles is also a way of enriching one‘s understanding
of lines themes. The 2nd line is often in many ways misunderstood because of its
barriers. Yet, the thing that‘s so extraordinary ab out the 2nd line is that nobody in
this life is ready to give you more.

There is a deep, deep generosity that is there within the 2 nd line. It has

Of course, ultimately they get to a point where it can be deeply, deeply depressing

We come to the upper trigram of externalization and we come to the 4 th line theme
of the Magnanimous. Boy, that
that sounds good; that s ounds really good doesn‘t it?
We‘re dealing with upper trigram and in dealing with upper trigram there is a natural

there a natural transpersonal capac-

possibly be. In other words, it is
the epitome of transpersonal-ness.
It can be wonderful,

support. While they maintain you you in the network,
network,
you‘re still caught in the possibility that you may be able to get their support.
The 4th line is about influencing those that they know, and this is how they fulfill their
potential. So, the magnanimous, well, I‘d like to see a lot more awake 4 th line be-
ings and we will see a much grander
grander and more generous
generous spirit, in that sense. We do
not have a generous spirit on this planet.
It is one of the deep mystical potentials that the ultimate network includes all of us.
The generosity is something that is a potential that should be available for support
for all. But we‘ve got three billion people that go to bed hungry that
that earn less than a
euro a day. It is absolutely incredible
incredible the lack of opportunity and generosity

there in the world. This is a deficiency in terms

When we get to the 5 we get to the E xecutor. To me it‘s one of those very, very
ironic, and of course the 30.5, the line of I rony, it‘s very much
much an ironic line. Unde r-
neath the seducer who can only seduce to get you in is somebody who is ready to
take complete responsibility
responsibility for your life. And this is what the Executor
Executor is all about.
This is the capacity to take charge and to look after the concerns and the needs of

like they‘re working it out, it‘s not like they‘ve got an underlying plan that they‘re
working with, they
they don‘t. They don‘t know why they‘re doing that.
You can see that this is the harmony to the G iver. This is not the same thing. It‘s
not this natural generosity
generosity that literally will share

tor will not share

The giver will say, ―You want some of my food?‖ The executor will feel responsibility
to do the best they can to call in the resources, that‘s what they‘re good at, to get
access to things that will make it possible for others to be able to have the things
they need in support.
But of course,
course, there is always the suspicion. The moment that the 5 th line being

I guess in many ways the most interesting for me is this combination between the
Internalized Dreamer
Dreamer and the Externalized
Externalized Realist. I think this is a wonderful
wonderful com-
ment on the nature of a 6 th line being, that in terms of Externalization and support,
they are designed to be deeply Realistic about who deserves the support.
Again, remember that the 6 th line being is going to go through a Driven stage.
They‘re going to go through this driven stage which is very, ve ry different because in
the driven stage there is no realism.

all of those things. Particularly in
terms of relationships, working on

so that you finally get the reasona-
ble relationship you hope you could
have.
This Realism is something that touches them very, very deeply when they‘re correct.

There is this deep, deep beauty, for me anyway it is a beauty, it is something that is
