THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 1 Lesson One Rave Psychology Candidate Projects An Introduction to Variables Hello and welcome to all of you. As I've been mentioning, this third year, this particular program is something that is very important. It is very important for me in the sense of as a teacher really being able to complete a process in which the end result is a holistic view that really is a service. I went through a prologue like this yesterday in the third year PHS program at the beginning. But I do, because I know that quite a few of you take both, I do want you to understand that for me from my perspective you are the best trained, the most deeply trained students that I've ever had in a program. After all, we’ve done I think over 60 lectures in our process together so far. But it’s done much more than that. It has been a boon for me. It's interesting the way in which the expansion of knowledge accelerates. In the first 10 years of my process in a working in Human Design the knowledge did not really expand very much. It was just about grounding the surface of the knowledge in. The fact was that it really is only in the last five years actually with what was in the beginning of the recent Ibiza years where I would have a teaching event in October and the Ibiza even in the spring I was able to begin a process of introducing the substructure of the line and seeing whether or not, first of all that it could come out in a translatable way and that there were students that were going to be receptive to what appeared to be a great deal of obscura, that is, to look under the veil of the line. This was something that took some foresight to grasp what that might all be about. With the Jam Player, I have never in my entire career taught so much. In the last two years over 800 lectures and those lectures have had a cumulative synthetic effect in terms of the way in which I grasp things and I think in the way in which that I translate them and put them forward. Obviously, none of this will would have been possible without students, being an unconscious mind. You are, in that sense, what brings it out of me. And being able to go through these programs has been something that, for whatever its value has been to you, I can tell you that it’s value has been extraordinary for me. And I just want you to know that I deeply appreciate that. I appreciate that the growth of this science is something that is very much indebted to its students. I think that that's rightfully the way that it should be. Here in Rave Psychology we are dealing with something that is and has been the Holy Grail at the pinnacle of consciousness for as long as we've cared, and that is the --- PAGE 12 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 2 way in which the mind can be transformed and to take on its true nature. However you want a label that, the Enlightenment, blah, blah, blah, this or that, none of those accurately describe it because they carry too much conditioned baggage in the way in which they interpreted. But it is clear that this is something that has always been a great stumbling block, a great stumbling block in being able to liberate the consciousness and liberate mind. We understand now because of Human Design what that means. That is, we understand that the dilemma has always been who is driving, who is really driving, who is driving the vehicle. And we know that if the mind is driving the vehicle we've got a not-self life, and we've got a not-self trajectory and we have all the things go with it. Strategy and Authority So with the Human Design comes the ability not simply to recognize where one might find the driver, but in essence, the technique to be able to access the benefits of the true driver, of course what we call Strategy and Authority. It's clear that Strategy and Authority as a mechanism, after watching it now for two decades, is something that at its primary level begins to bring a lessening of the burden of life in terms of the way in which it is experienced at first. In other words, its lowest common denominator is that it makes life better. Obviously there are many levels upon which the correctness of one's actions, what they lead to, we know that for adult humans it's a seven-year deconditioning process to liberate themselves from the control of the not-self and to begin to function correctly as themselves. And yet, at the same time throughout all of that process, the great struggle is with the mind. And when I began this process of looking at these two programs—PHS and Rave Psychology—basically what was my vision was that healing the body is something that is easy and in essence a singularity. But the mind is a true binary and that the only way in which the mind is going to be healed, and this is a subject we will look at in a few moments, is that if it is approached correctly and it can only be had be approached, given the knowledge were working with, according to its leftness or its rightness. It is clear to me that if the mind is properly informed, and I use my Manifestor language, that if the mind is properly informed it can and will liberate itself, but it has to be correctly informed. And everything that we have been doing up until this point is about looking at the detail. The depth of the detail, so we went through 22 classes of chains, everything leading up to now is a detailed process, but now we have to take that move forward and we have to step into a holistic frame in order to take on the complete essence of the being and out of that to be able to distill the methodology in approaching that being and informing them so that they can be transformed on the mental plane. --- PAGE 13 --- LESSON ONE: RP Candidate Projects & Intro to Variables Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 3 Criteria for Certification Before I can even begin all that I need to talk about the criteria for the year. As I mentioned in the open house at August, as I mentioned yesterday in laying out these programs, it is clear for me that I need to be absolutely certain that anyone who is certified as a Human Design psychologist after going through this program than I am certain that they have the capacity to be able to do the work and to be able to do the work in a way in which it brings the respect that this knowledge deserves. It's very important for me that this highest level of knowledge, because that's how I look at it, that it comes with of a testing criteria. I think it's absolutely essential. It’s one of the reasons many of you asked me about the raising of the pricing for all this. It’s because it's going to take me a lot of extra time to actually work through material and to grade tests and those kinds of things that I will have to do this year. I had the same feeling as I was discussing this yesterday; my whole career has been based on giving people the knowledge and seeing what they do with it. I've reached a point where the majority of this knowledge is a science, that it's absolutely essential that for these programs and obviously now and has been the case for the analysts programs that those people that earn the certification it is clear that they have earned it and it's clear that they can do the job and I think that that is just a very important step to go forward. --- PAGE 14 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 4 What we have here on this page is a layout of what is essentially half of the program in terms of the assessed work that were going to be looking at. I have worked with Asi Farran, our programmer, and we’re developing a way in which there will be an environment for you to go into to do written tests. We’re working on the programming now and it should be ready in about a month. But there is a major project and it is an important part of your work. I think more than anything else it is a demonstration of your ability to be able to communicate. You’re all well-educated, having nearly eight months or so to be able to create this project and given the background that you have. My concern is not about the substance. I think that that is something that will be there. It is about the ability to be able to communicate and obviously this is one of the key factors in the nature of our work, you cannot work with people unless you can communicate with them, unless you can transfer the information that you have taken in. By the way, just to be clear nobody, absolutely nobody taking this program is forced to do any of these things. Please understand; you have your own authority. But I will not certify anybody unless they go through all of that. But again, if you feel that you're not ready for it and you wan to it another year, this is going to be going on for years and years and years to come, this program. So don't be concerned at that level. It’s very important, I said this yesterday and it's a key in all this is, enjoy doing it. It is a great way for you to dig deeply into this particular knowledge. The first thing I want to begin with is what is highlighted here and it says: Candidates must specialize in either left or right cognition. And you'll see as it states here, that candidates will be streamed in semester two. Now, I'm still working out how to do this in terms of the mechanical aspects of my schedule and all that. But in the next semester approximately eight classes out of the 11 classes will be streamed. And I will work separately with left and right. Now one of the things to keep in mind about this, if you are a left being and you want to work with the right or a right being and you think you want to work with the left, then I think you should both really think about it, is all I can say. Obviously there are going to be exceptions to every rule, and the exception is often very insightful. So that somebody on the left and I'm speaking of the personality left or right and the Sun/Earth personality left and right, someone on the left who might want to focus on dealing with the right and vice versa. I am not going to say no, in that sense, but I do caution you that if you are left minded that you're better suited into the left process and the left counseling process and therapeutic process, and the same thing for the right. But nonetheless, again I am not going to say no if you want to look to the other side. So candidates must specialize in either left or right cognition. The selection of specialization, this is something that is going to be reflected in your project. So, these are things that come together at the same time. You'll see here that your selections have to be submitted by October, that is, the end of October. So you have about five weeks to process this. The Rave Psychologist project represents 50% of assessed work, and the project can be in the following mediums: It can be --- PAGE 15 --- LESSON ONE: RP Candidate Projects & Intro to Variables Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 5 audio with PowerPoint, it can be written with illustrations, it can be multimedia or film, and there many other things. What is important is that it is suitable for display and usage on the web. Basically this is your thesis presentation. It is very important, in that sense, that what I am looking for is I am looking for publishing quality and I’ll talk about that in a moment. The style is educational, and it's directed at the novice level. In other words, these presentations should not be directed at me. And that's very, very important for you to get. It's not directed at anyone who really knows deeply about any of this. In other words, the style is your communicative capacity to be about to get this information across to somebody else, to be able to transfer this information depending on whatever medium, whatever way in which you want to do that. It's a creative process. It’s a creative communicating process. Any pertinent subject can be selected, any subject, but it has to be approved. In this particular situation I am your tutor. If you're wondering about what to do, if you're not certain about this or that, or you genuinely have questions, whatever that is, please feel free to communicate with me. I will help you as much as I can in that sense in terms of whether you may have an idea for this kind of subject or that kind of subject, because remember we have covered and are continuing to cover as you'll see a great deal of information. You could look at any aspect, you could look at the impact of the open ego, you can look at certain chain configurations, you could look at all kinds of things, you could look at the way in which the not-self mind operates in a case study, there are all kinds of things. What I don't want to do is give you a whole list so that you end up picking one of them, because again it's got to be by your authority and through your own creative process. It has to be something that moves you, because obviously, it is in that sense a very important piece of work. I want you to take time in your consideration of all of this. And again to remember that whatever the presentation is going to be, it is going to be either in a left or right perspective. Again, this is important. By the way, because I used the same mat for PHS last night, I didn’t change the language down here. We’ll actually into a Rave Psychology website, a portal that I'm going to be bringing on board in September of next year, September 2008. It's very important for me that once the first generation of professionals graduates that they're provided with as sophisticated a platform that I can provide you. And as you'll see, we have been working very hard on programming. One of the deep excitements for me about our work together is that this semester is about seeing, literally seeing with new eyes and opening up a whole new level of being able to look holistically at a being; but more than that, to be able to garner certain very deep understandings about the nature of the brain-mind system, something that we cannot see in looking at just of the personality crystal itself. As an example, next week and the week after there is going to be a holistic unified classes for PHS and Rave Psychology. Please make a note of this so that you know that the class won’t be on Wednesday as usual, it will be at the same time, but it will be on Tuesday. That class will be hosted by the PHS side, because I'm going to lean more to the PHS in the holistic interpretation. The following week, that is, two weeks --- PAGE 16 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 6 from now the PHS class will come over to the Rave Psychology class. In other words, it'll be on Wednesday and again at the same time. So, we are going to have a number of these holistic classes as we move along in order to be able to give you a new level of comfort in the way in which you can look holistically at somebody and particularly in relationship to the knowledge that we’re working with. So, in this candidate presentation, I leave this in your hands to mull and to muse over. But again, I really want you to see that there are two things that matter in this. One is that it is something that interests you enough, whatever the subject matter is, so that it can be an enjoyable and a stimulating process for you. And the other side of that is to remember who we are communicating to. You’re not communicating to me. It's very important to remember that. You’re communicating to a general audience. What I mean by general audience is somebody who is has had a reading, somebody who has gone through the Living Design process, somebody who has begun their experiment in living their design. The presentation goes to that level of involvement in the work. Variables Okay, let's get on to the good stuff. I have a printout of this. It sits on my piano where the piano music should be. I find that deeply appropriate. What you're looking at is something that is called a variable. As you can see, because this is a magic box of four across and four down, you can see that there are 16 of these variables. These variables are the bedrock of a new level of interpreting a design. It isn't changing what you see in the bodygraph as you understand it, but it adds enormous depth both in terms of the physical, the PHS, and obviously in our context in terms of the Rave Psychology. --- PAGE 17 --- LESSON ONE: RP Candidate Projects & Intro to Variables Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 7 What we're looking at is a new holistic tool. We have many kinds of ways in which we have been looking at a design, digging into the personality crystal, looking down into its substructure. But here we're dealing with something that is quantum in its nature. That is, our ability to be able to grasp the meaning of each of these variables is the same as our ability to grasp type. In other words, it is a fundamental holistic configuration. You can see just by the coloring that it's made up of the design and it’s made up of the personality. What you're actually looking at here in this configuration is that you're looking at the Sun and the Earth. Both the Sun and the Earth personality and design, and you're looking at the Node, both the North Nodes and the South Nodes, personality and design. In other words, you're looking at what we have examined when we were looking at personality we began to look at the fixings Ra’s Variable --- PAGE 18 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 8 and we began to look at the leftness and the rightness that was there in the relationship of the personality in terms of the Sun/Earth and the personality in terms of the Nodes. What we are seeing here is a combination of what also exists on the design side. And this leads us to what is presently my visual joy. I have my personality North Nodes in the first hexagram, in the 1st line. And aesthetics are very important for me. And to find an esthetic formula, to be able to display what is the first new representation of the bodygraph in nearly 21 years. Obviously, the graph itself isn't changing. There is nothing that's changing except the way in which substructure information and the capacity to truly be able to do complete analysis at substructure level is presented visually. Before I get into the various components of that I want you again to go back here to what is something that obviously you do not see when you look at a normal bodygraph configuration. You just don't see it. You don't see these fixings that are there, and these four fixings that are there. And each and every one of us have our collection of a variable, one of the variables. When you look at my design, because this is my design, you can see that I am three parts left and I am one part right. Three parts left, one part right, that’s me, and that’s me in a way, and our whole process together this semester is to bring language to this. This is why it's very important for us to work as a combined group so that I can combine the language here so that we can really begin to see in these 16 variables you have a subgroup of every type. Not only is it a subgroup of every type but the subgroups themselves unify beings despite the type. In other words, there is another level in which we resonate or not to others in a way that's hard to recognize. I made the joke in PHS yesterday and I'm still chewing on this joke because I’ve made so many kinds of jokes about these kinds of things. I took this configuration here of the 16 variables and I began by checking out the variable of each of the members of my family. That is, my own family and my children, but also my siblings, my mother, the other side of my children's extended family. In other words, I put all this information in here just putting names in the places. Lo and behold I discovered that my partner of nearly 25 years has exactly the same variable as my mother. And it was really a shock for me to see that. It made me laugh. I enjoyed the irony, but it's not something that I had ever not noticed, couldn't have noticed, because I have my mother's design and there is no way that you could see an obvious connection between those designs, you couldn’t, you really couldn’t. And all of a sudden there it was. It emerged out of nowhere. The Way in Which the Physical and the Mental Systems Operate It's something to think about. Think about any type. Think about the significance of this, for example, for Reflectors and Projectors, that what you're looking at is an understanding of the way in which the physical and the mental system is designed to operate. And it is a thematic because there are deep connections that lie in all of this. First of all, it's important to understand something that we have been looking --- PAGE 19 --- LESSON ONE: RP Candidate Projects & Intro to Variables Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 9 at these aspects, the result of fixing, separately. That is, we have been looking at them vertically. The moment you step into variables, variables do not operate vertically. They operate, horizontally. So it's very important to grasp something about why these variables become a holistic tool. If they were only the way in which we have been working and learning by seeing them in the vertical in their relationship to each other within the context of the crystal is not the same as looking at them horizontally and the relationship between the body and the potential of mind. These connections, that is, looking at this relationship and looking at this relationship, have names. The Independent Variable What connects the Node together, this line drawn across here is called an independent variable. By the way, these terms, are going to become very, very important. That is, variable language, independent and dependent, is something that is going to become very much a part of the language that we use analytically, because as you'll see it provides us with extraordinary keys. The first one to look at is the independent. Think about the relationship of the independent variable to the dependent variable. In other words, the independent variable, what stands on its own, is the Node. And it's one of the things to grasp about the correctness of action that in Strategy and Authority what we get is an alignment of the nodal system. The only thing left as we have discussed is the dilemma of the mind. So one of the things to see is that this relationship here, this is the foundation. And of course that leads back to what we teach at the simplest level, that Strategy and Authority is a way in which you align yourself correctly in this life. This is about the correct alignment. Once the alignment is there the possibility to see what is intended to be seen is there, that the view is established for the potential of the personality. But it begins with this alignment that is expressed nodally. And this is the independent variable. --- PAGE 20 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 10 The Dependent Variable The dependent variable is the brain mind. This is the dependent variable; it is dependent on the independent variable. So, if the nodal relationship is not established, that means transference in the operation of the not-self, that's the moment that the whole system breaks down, because everything about the development of the brain-mind system is rooted in the independent variable. When the independent variable is correct, the dependent variable has the potential to operate correctly. Now, let’s take a look at something. We know now that the bottom aspects are the nodal aspects and we know that these nodal aspects form what is in fact the independent variable. Remember that this is a magic box. And if you look down here you'll see that the same thing appears. And if you look over here you'll see the same thing appears, and if you look over here you have the same relationship. In other words, you have four independent variables that are focused/observed. Again, I am not going to go into the detail of this until I teach this holistically. I can explain the design to the personality side and then to the design side, and we can do that all together and I don't have to go through all that repetition. Dependent Variable Independent Variable --- PAGE 21 --- LESSON ONE: RP Candidate Projects & Intro to Variables Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 11 The Node But it's very important to grasp something here. Think about what the Node represent. What we know about the Node from the point of view of our psychology is that they're absolutely essential as the foundation upon which the outer authority of the mind can be developed. You cannot develop the other authority of the mind unless it has a perspective of view that is correct. And yet, the correctness of that view cannot be established from the personality side, it cannot, because the view is a limitation. The limitation is the dependency on the form. Everything is in movement. And it’s the dependency on the form to be positioned correctly. And positioning and orientation, which is base language, is something that we are going to discuss a lot in this semester. So, what we're looking at here is that we are looking at a subgroup, one of four subgroups. So, for example if we went over here we saw the peripheral/observed. Over here is the peripheral/observed and over here is the peripheral/observed. In other words, if you go through this what you get the see is that there are four groups. And you can see the four groups in the center. The Four Groups Magic boxes are really beautiful things. The peripheral/observer, the focused/observer, the peripheral/observed, the focused/observed, those are the four groups. And each group has four variations. These groups become very important, because think about what it actually means, what are the Node? The Node represent our positioning, which means that there are four variables that seek out the same positioning. They do. In other words, if you go into the separate grouping, as an example here where we started, so we've got the focused/observed and the focused/observed and here is the third one, and here is the fourth one. It is very clear that they all have their nodal configuration in common. Now, again remember that the focused/observed is the independent variable. It is what the rest is based on. And it means that if the independent variable does not operate correctly then none of this operates correctly. It means that Strategy and Authority does more than simply align us to our correct geometry, but it actually aligns us to a geometry that interfaces with others, because one of the things that will be discussed next week is the design Nodes. The design nodal configuration is really about environments, very specific environments, physical environments that are the natural beneficial social environments for any individual. And at the moment that you see that when you're looking at this independent variable, you see we have basically four different kinds of environmental approaches, if you will. Now, when you're looking at this, imagine for a moment that every single box is filled in by a different manifesting Generator, just as an example. We have an assumption about any kind of type. You know, we have an assumption about it. We have an assumption that this manifesting Generator and that manifesting Generator have a certain fundamental similarity to each other. Whether they’re manifesting --- PAGE 22 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 12 Generators or pure Generators or whatever it happens to be, the thing to understand about type, what you have to begin to truly grasp is that type is a real generic. It's wonderful. It tells us how simple it all is, in a sense, the four ways to operate correctly in this life, these four types. And yet, in remember that our work is not surface work. We're here to go profoundly deeper than any analyst is trained to go. This is a deeper thing. And it's about understanding that no longer can you look at any type without looking at its variable. To understand first of all that every type has four basic families and each of those families have four distinct variations. It's quite something. The Science of Differentiation What amazes me—it's the science of differentiation, how beautiful that is. To begin to see how nuanced this is and how we will have the ability to be able to look at these variables in a way in which analysts in the past have looked at type. That is how significant meeting this variable is. It is a new level of seeing. And of course a design is a design; I’m still this design. And on the surface we all know all kinds of things about the way this functions. But after all, this takes us to another place. It takes us into the deepest mechanisms of the vehicle. It takes us to the cognitive level of the vehicle, to its true orientation. It takes is clearly to being able to see the nature of and the potential of the mind. And that holistically through the variable an ability to be able to see a type, a very unique variety, if you will, of type. And begin to see that they are designed, in that sense, to meet each other. It’s so interesting to see that the variable groupings open up a whole new understanding about the way in which we can meet or connect with the other. And of course for us holistically there is something very important that we need to establish in Rave Psychology. That is, an understanding of the relationship that is there between the brain system and the mind. In other words, where PHS is focused almost exclusively on the independent variable, we will spend a great deal of time looking at the dependent variable. And of course, in that way, we're going to see that there are also variations, a reversed variation, almost being able to see the not-self groupings. I don’t know if you grasp what I mean. It is something to really see for example, this is active/strategic, this is active/strategic, this is active/strategic, and this is active/strategic. In other words, what you have here is a union of four dependent variables, the brain mindset. And yet, we've already seen that the brain mindset has a very different way in which as an independent variable is determined to be and to perceive. And we know that because it's the independent variable it establishes the criteria. But the not-self mind will lean on these factors and will recognize these forces. Oh, there are many, many, many things of interest in here. But of course, there's something to see very clearly. As Rave Psychologists the first line that is drawn is the line that is drawn down the center. Everything to the left side is strategic, strategic, strategic, strategic, strategic, and so forth and so on all --- PAGE 23 --- LESSON ONE: RP Candidate Projects & Intro to Variables Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 13 the way down. And everything on the right side is receptive. Now, isn’t that cute? Yeah, I can hear the cheers and the glee. Ah, the magic of magic boxes. This variable map is a fantastic thing to ponder and to use. It will take until the beginning of this the second semester until the software that I'm using, the calculation part of the software is done. But again, the Rave Psychology program will have many new additions to it, a way in which we can store and gather information and make it available to everyone and interactivity that will be part of the program, a note keeping format for it, all kinds of things, a kind of Wikipedia so that we add all kinds of information to the observations of the work that gets done over the years to come. Exploring the Maps But the first thing to notice about this magic box is that it really is quite something to look at. And of course everything over here is the receptive mind and everything over here is the strategic mind. And that those of you that are going to begin your work, that the way in which you're going to be able to really recognize those that you need to work with is through the variable. And there will be different variables, obviously, that are there, when you look at these eight different possibilities that are over here on the strategic side, and so forth and so on. In other words, this is the map. And in order to grasp any map you have to have a feel for it, a sense for it. It’s one of the things that I suggested, in fact, I more than suggested, it’s important that you do it, that you dig up in the program because you’ll need the program’s help to find other fixings, obviously, to be a little to take these maps and to be able to explored them. The way that you explore them is through the people that you know, as I did for example with my family. The one that was the most fun, I’ll use it next week in the first combined holistic class, is that I took all kinds of famous people that I had data of and just put them in. And the results are really quite amazing. So you need to see it yourself. It is difficult at this point, it’s something new for you, I understand that, and there's a lot to grasp in all of this. But the easiest way is to experience what a variable is through an established character in your movie. This is something that is very useful. I started with my family. As I said, it was an incredible eye opener and not just an eye opener in terms of myself, I saw so many things that I just never looked at things that way before. This is a new way of seeing, and it's remarkable to see all the relationships. After all, again, I keep saying it's a magic box, but magic boxes are really quite fantastic. And this box is absolutely perfectly symmetrical. It really is. It's remarkable the way it works. When you begin to explore start with your immediate circle, your family as an example, and as many generations as you can fit in, and all kinds of things because you'll see that it's sort of like the branches of a family tree, you really get to see some fascinating things. And it's something that will be important, ultimately, for us to share because I think that, as I mentioned earlier, when talking about various research aspects in terms of your presentation, variables --- PAGE 24 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 14 open up incredible, incredible opportunities for exploring a new way of being able to look at any human being and to be able to grasp them at a deep, deep, deep level through that. After you've gone through the family, the genetic line, because that's always interesting to see as a format then those people that you basically have relationships with that are fairly often in your aura, that kind of thing, and lay them out in the same grid and see what happens. It's really amazing. And of course it will give you a clue. It's not a complete story, obviously, but it will begin to give you a feel for the differences here. The Variables Are Written as Formulas These variables don't have names, the 16 of them, they do not have names. They are written as formulas. So, the formula is, this is design left-left with personality left-left. It's just whatever the formula is, so if you’re here it’s just a cross formula. In essence, it’s much easier. And within the letters themselves it reminds you what you’re actually looking at. They’re not about names. We’re at the most technical level of the knowledge, and this program is not for popularizing. That is, it'll never be for sale in the shop. It's only made available to third-year students of PHS and Rave Psychology. And in fact, both of those programs will have very different functions, as well, particularly the Rave Psychology program because I’m actually programming things like being able to list out the impact hierarchy of open centers and to be able to list all the dynamics of the gates, and so forth and so on. In other words, it’s a very extensive mapping tool for looking at the not-self mind. So, we’re at the beginning of a process, and this is the key to it. Everything that you have been doing, all of your work with me in terms of the substructure, is something that you're going to see how this orients or how it all comes together. One other thing though is, and just to give you sort of little guide to this, what you're really looking at here is that, obviously, you're dealing with the personality Sun/Earth and you can see that the gate and it's line is given—my sun in the 51.5, for example. And then what you have in the hexagonal shape, this is, this is the color map, so you get to see the color, it's a 3rd color and of course in the triangle shaping you have the tone, so it is a 3rd tone. And then if you know within the box of the Sun and Earth you get their base configuration and orientation. And orientation is something that I will discuss next week when we're all together at the same time. Something very important by the way, that I'd like to add, I know that many of you participated in base theory, but it's something that would be helpful to anyone who really wants to have the depth behind the base work that we're going to do, because I'm going to be doing base work with you because it's very important, particularly for the nodal point of view. It is available as a self-study course. So you can see that the information for the Sun/Earth, the information for the Node, it is listed out through the full substructure with the bases being internalized. And you can see, though I’m not going to get into it, that there are differences in the way the orientation works for the north and South Nodes on the design side and the same is --- PAGE 25 --- LESSON ONE: RP Candidate Projects & Intro to Variables Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 15 true for the north and South Nodes on the personality side. That's something that's absolutely fascinating and a key to understanding so many things that humans have wanted to understand, but I’ll get to that as we move along. --- PAGE 26 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 16 Divided By Three Zones The next thing is that you can see that we’re divided up into three different zones. And of course the illustrating is very much based on the chemical table of elements; it has that kind of look. By the way, the printouts are beautiful. But what you see here is this lower configuration. And again, none of this is laid out by accident, so take that into consideration. This is its own magic box. That is, rather than a 16, this is a nine. And there are very distinct relationships, much more obvious in the vertical than in the horizontal and in the diagonal, as well. In other words, there are a lot of relationships that are here with this configuration that very interesting to look at. But the most significant is the separation given to the Moon. And I will talk a lot about that because it is a very important factor to look at. But the most important thing in terms of analysis, and again, I will be doing the basic training for lunar and planetary color analysis in my Friday morning classes, and for the first time being able to lay out the way in which you work with the information. One of the things you'll notice here is that for the planets and the Moon, what you get to see is that you get to see the gate value, the line value and the color. There is no tone or base, after all. You can only talk about in the tone and base relative to the crystals of consciousness themselves. --- PAGE 27 --- LESSON ONE: RP Candidate Projects & Intro to Variables Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 17 A Transference Field and a Resonance Field But there is something very important to be clear about. That is, if you look at this zone above, this is what I call a transference field. And if you look at this grouping below, this is a resonance field. And the interpretation here, for example, basically tone and base in relationship to a planet is nothing more than another way of marking measurement. But only when you get to the color level do you get to a level that not only is interpretive, but of course will give us a very important insight into the nuances of the way in which these aspects operate. In other words, not only are we going to have a new view in terms of the way in which we can look at the whole and the perspective that we have, but we’re going to have a whole new level of understanding the way in which the majority of activations operate in our design, or obviously, in the design of others. It is going to be very challenging and it is going to be something that—that is interesting Genoa, I did not know that, that's very funny. Can you get a copy of your charts? Okay guys, I guess I can do that for you. I think that I have most of your designs. As a matter fact, I'm pretty sure that I have most of your designs. So, leave it with me and I'll see what I can come up. I think that's a reasonable thing to do ask for. I don’t want to tease you to death for the next months. We really are in a place that's very special. I want you to share my excitement with me, I guess that's all I'm really want, because it is very exciting and I'm looking forward to getting into the meat of this. We have a very heavy schedule over the next 10 weeks, because it's very important for me that the basic grounding in how you use variable information is established so that we can move on to the complexities of the left and right work. When I suggest that you take the variable map and work with it, it’s important that you do that. You're not very far away from me at this point. In other words, we’re running very close together, because we're entering into something new together. And it's important for you to really dig in and look at the variables so that we have a new platform of dialogue between us in the exploration of this. Anyway, I want to thank all of you. It's great; we've got a very, very exciting year in front of us and until next time, when we all meet together--please remember, again I’ll make a notice of it but please remember that next week's class will be on Tuesday for you at the same time, but it'll be on Tuesday. It will be hosted by the PHS class. All right, to all of you, you take care; bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 28 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 19 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. --- PAGE 30 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 20 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 --- PAGE 31 --- LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 21 things. It is a kind of slot, a kind of generic description for a certain type of character. 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 --- PAGE 32 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 22 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. 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. --- PAGE 33 --- LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 23 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 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 --- PAGE 34 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 24 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 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 --- PAGE 35 --- LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 25 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. --- PAGE 36 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 26 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. --- PAGE 37 --- LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 27 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 --- PAGE 38 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 28 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. --- PAGE 39 --- LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 29 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. --- PAGE 40 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 30 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. --- PAGE 41 --- LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 31 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. --- PAGE 42 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 32 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 --- PAGE 43 --- LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 33 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. --- PAGE 44 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 34 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. --- PAGE 45 --- LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 35 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. 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 --- PAGE 46 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 36 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 your intellectual depth at this point, the more that weight is put to work in this area, --- PAGE 47 --- LESSON TWO: Holistic Analysis 1, Variables & Variable Mapping 1 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 37 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. --- PAGE 48 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 38 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. ~ --- PAGE 49 --- Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 39 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 --- PAGE 50 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 40 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 --- PAGE 51 --- LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 41 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 --- PAGE 52 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 42 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. --- PAGE 53 --- LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 43 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 --- PAGE 54 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 44 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 --- PAGE 55 --- LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 45 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. --- PAGE 56 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 46 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. --- PAGE 57 --- LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 47 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 --- PAGE 58 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 48 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 --- PAGE 59 --- LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 49 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 --- PAGE 60 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 50 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 --- PAGE 61 --- LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 51 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 --- PAGE 62 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 52 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, --- PAGE 63 --- LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 53 to reveal, whatever is lying there within their right configuration. And of course 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 --- PAGE 64 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 54 different ways in which the information moves. These are things, obviously, that we 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. --- PAGE 65 --- LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 55 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 --- PAGE 66 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 56 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 --- PAGE 67 --- LESSON THREE: Holistic Analysis 2, Variables & Variable Mapping 2 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 57 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. ~ --- PAGE 68 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 59 Lesson Four Mind, Perspective and Range The Planned Release of MMAI Before I get going today I have some interesting things, I think very exciting things, to be on share with you. Some of you are familiar with it because I mentioned these things in the PHS class yesterday. That is, first all relative to MMAI we have set a schedule for its release to you as students. And that will be the beginning of the second semester with a beta program that will be followed by a full program at the end of the scholastic year. These are very complex and particularly the Rave Psychology is a matter fact, the actual extent of the Rave Psychology program is going to still take months for that to be concretize. As you well know there's already a calculating program, what I'm using to do illustrations for you. One of the things, for example, that's going to be added—in our holistic classes we are beginning to investigate the importance of variables and what variables mean. For me, they are the basic synthesizing agent to understand the way in which life is organized. And in the programming one of the things that you're going to be able to do is that you're going to be to have a filter on your chart library. Basically what that means is that you can ask to filter for a particular variable and all the charts that you have stored in your library that have that particular variable will be listed. --- PAGE 70 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 60 That's something that also can be used for example to see different variations, different centers are defined or undefined, all kinds of things in which it can aid you in being able to do research. It's one of the really exciting features. The other thing is that the holistic program is designed to be fully interactive. And that means, for example that a professional chart that you're doing, it has a notation area. That notation area begins with indicating what is the variable and then any notations that are made relative to the chart the chart automatically goes into a large databank in which it gets filtered according to its variable and then the variable itself will be filtered according to what kind of problems were looking at, what kinds of things that we can see that are associated. In other words, there's a whole area in being able to develop the database. A Virtual Human Design Health Center So we have very, very exciting programming aspects that are going to be there to be able to support you. The other thing is, and this I did not mention yesterday, I wasn't sure whether I was going to mention it today; I've been working on this for quite a while. It goes back years now, the idea of the other provide a central Internet well-being environment. The beginnings of that is the very minor web zone, the PHS clinic that is there at the entry point at the Jovian site. What I have finally really decided to do is that I'm going to create a Human Design Health Center, virtual Human Design Health Center, a health center that is going to offer both PHS and Rave Psychology services so we can develop a center that is very, very sophisticated, a center that will offer therapy rooms for live work, a center that will include audiovisual library material, a shop. It will have its own classroom for clinics, for group work, for example, for right group work. In other words, being able to create a health center that takes advantage of this first generation of professionals and to be able to place it in an environment where it will get a lot of activity. I know that the public is waiting for that. I see that very clearly in PHS. If you go to the PHS clinic it's one of my standing jokes about how powerful PHS really is. If you go to the PHS clinic as it stands all you have, I think it's a 13 minute audiovisual presentation I think that was taken from one of my one of my PHS clinic intros and then there is the possibility to order a PHS overview. So basically there's nothing other than the little intro film. It has received thousands and I mean thousands of visitors. So, it's clear to me that there is a real interest that points to my ability to see clearly that I can invest in the development of a very sophisticated environment and to have the professionals that can literally hang their shingle in there, have your offices in there, be able to do the work there. And at the same time, in the same way that I've seen this whole program, that is, PHS and Rave Psychology, the way in which they run parallel, the way now that they’re interweaving with each other into the holistic that this presents the possibility of really showcasing the holistic health talent that Human Design offers. So, it’s just one of those things to let you know what is in the pipeline. --- PAGE 71 --- LESSON FOUR: Mind, Perspective, Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 61 Mind, Perspective, Range Anyway, let’s get on to some work. When you're looking at the graphing and we've been looking at the traditional bodygraph alignment for a very long time. It is how we all got into Design; it’s how we all learned. Many of you have become teachers. It's what you've been teaching so you look at it with a certain way. This is new. And it's not just some kind of arbitrary fancy realignment, it's prettier. But nonetheless, it's very important to see that in fact, we have all been visual presentation that carries with it its own values that we have to see and we have to recognize and understand. The first thing is very obvious things, and very obvious in the sense that you can see very clearly here that we have fundamental division that is separating three elements. These three elements are very, very different in terms of what they in and of themselves are all about, because they are about very different things. And at the same time, they have a relationship to each other. In the case of the Node and in the case of the planets there are very, very complex relationships that are there. But nonetheless, when we were looking over here at the personality side, the first thing to see is that we need to see this division. And we need to see that we have to have a grasp of these three elements. --- PAGE 72 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 62 Mind Now, obviously where we have placed our focus, that is, where I have pointed you over the last several years has been in grasping the essential; and I do caution you, the essential. In other words, we are looking at the Cross of Life and we are looking at the fundamental essential programming of what is the personality, what is the potential of the passenger. And of course we have looked at that through the internal. That is, through the internal of the Sun/Earth, the external of the Node. And we have seen the different values that we attach to all of that. And then basically what we come to is a cognitive mental conceptualizing potential that is rooted in a specific perspective. And that this is the relationship between the two, that those two things together—the cognitive and perspective potentials—that they become what we call mind. But, there's something missing; that is, the elements of mind, the ingredients of that mind, its unique potential gifts intellectually. When we first began, this is one of the reasons why the programming will take so much longer for Rave Psychology, when we began I began by saying to you that we were going to map, we were going to map the mind. And that we have seen that we have gone through the deep, deep complexities of conditioning that establishes the power of the not-self. And moving away from that power of the not-self, we began the process of looking at what perhaps could be the possibility of the correct mind. In other words, what is the essential programming that is there. But we have not completed his view. We are well equipped to understand the not- self and the conditioning of the not-self mind. In fact, there's only one thing missing and you’ll get that next week. In order to complete the material that we have, in order to be able to have a mapping of that not-self mind rooted in all of the conditioning. But for the possibility of what is the true mind or better expressed the potential of the true outer authority then there's something else we have to add, and in doing so we enter into a whole different domain—the cognitive potential of the mind. The Cognitive Potential of the Mind We look at a configuration and we begin with a clear recognition that the cognitive potential here and of course you’re looking at my lovely 3 combinations [image below], that here is the cognitive direction and that outer vision that is fixing the leadership potential, the desire, that is the motivating force of this personality. This is the construct. And the cognition is going to be very, very visual, which means that it's going to be very dependent on the nodal perspective, because it's going to be stimulated as a cognitive mind, it’s going to be stimulated by the visual. I could not teach—I can, I can, I did that in Ibiza this year, I was an experiment for myself, that is, to teach without illustrations. It’s an interesting phenomenon, but it's not a pleasure. It feels more like a satsang, it’s not really teaching for me. Without --- PAGE 73 --- LESSON FOUR: Mind, Perspective, Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 63 the images I don't stimulated. Again, this is something that is just inherent in the way in which my mind develops its cognitive process that it needs the visual cues to be able to do so. So, in the internal we have this construct for the way the mind is going to work. Not what it's going to work on. It doesn't say here what subject particularly the mind is interested in. We do have touches of that in the base orientation, but I do want to get into that right now. But that is so deep below at this point, I'll save that for later in the semester. We have a mind. We have a sense. We have a motivation. And we have a motivation that ultimately we’re going to see rooted in the bodygraph. That motivation to, in essence, end up initiating, the desire to initiate. But it doesn’t say about what. It doesn't say what interests this mind. The Node: The Perspective And then what do we have over here? Of course the Nodes are a curious thing. I mean, this doesn't really belong in the story because it has relationship to the other side. But the moment that you're looking at the Node, what you are looking at is the perspective and what you're looking for in the perspective. It's a frame. It's like a camera honing in. But, the very specifics of what's there in the lens of the camera, --- PAGE 74 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 64 because after all, this is the way we look at the other, the way we look at the world around us, the way in which we look at the world around us frames the basis upon which our cognitive mind operates. The Range Home, home on the range, that’s my American West pun. I like this word. I could have said scope or spectrum, I guess, any of these words that sort of establish a kind of range of possibilities. What's so interesting about the planets is that they represent the range of this mind and its perspective. One has to be careful not to equate range with depth, because I think that this will be the danger in the beginnings of our work together with this. After all, I’m just introducing this today. The thing to grasp about range is that the range isn't the planets, it's where they are. Obviously, the planets are the imprint and because the planets are the imprint they bring a specific quality. One of things that is fascinating, because of course again, as you well know, I run these two programs parallel, yesterday I was doing the same thing sort of on the design side. And the interesting thing about the design side is that all of the traditional planetary affiliations, in other words, the way that we think about what a planet brings as a filtering agent that this is something that we have to throw out because it was never part of seven-centered consciousness and there is no way that we can take seven-centered planetary attributions and bring them to a nine-centered planetary influence. It doesn't work. The Design Is Always a Step Ahead of the Personality And yet here on the personality side, the relatively traditional astrological approach to the planets is legitimate. And it says something interesting about—and again I'm just talking—it’s interesting to see that the personality, in that sense, is still behind the vehicle in its development. It's like the personality hasn't yet grasped the fact that were a nine-centered being. I don't know if you can understand what I mean, but it seems very clear to me that the design very much demands a nine-centered approach. And I stress that in the context of the planetary box, the lunar planetary box or the lunar planetary square, I should say. That on the design side you cannot use these seven-centered formulas. So, just as the design is the vehicle long before the personality enters into the vehicle, it's like the whole nine-centered process is deeply carried in the body but not yet something experienced in that way by the personality. Remember that it makes sense in the sense that the personality, that is, the personality crystal is a continuity that's been there from the beginning, that the personality crystals that are endowed in nine-centered beings were endowed in seven-centered beings, but they had a very different design crystal. They had a design crystal that created a seven-centered vehicle and not a design crystal that created a nine-centered. --- PAGE 75 --- LESSON FOUR: Mind, Perspective, Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 65 I've discussed this a lot in our classes when I suggest you that it's easier to heal the body than the mind is that in this context when you see it this way that the body is ready, the body is ready to live out its nine-centered potential, absolutely ready to live it out. The mind of the nine-centered being is still interested in seven-centered yoga. It's a huge trend. And I find it cute, because when you see it this way, you begin to also understand something about handicaps of the personality. It never really catches up to the design. The design is always a step ahead; it's always a step ahead. So you enter into your Strategy and Authority in your design, your body jumps on it and loves it, and your personality struggles along with its limitations. Anyway, just a passing thought on planetary attributes. And of course, what's interesting about this is that this is personality design analysis as such. In my context, well, I have an unusual configuration as you can see. That is, everything is part of the definition; everything is active so I have a very, very conscious personality. When you're looking at these elements we’re going to have to see these elements as range relative to where they are. In other words, there are limitations here to what the brain can deal with. Wisdom Is the Potential that Arises Out of Conditioning Before I even get the question, because I'm introducing this for the first time it can bring some certain confusions. I want to get rid of the confusion. Openness, we know that openness is the gateway to wisdom. That is, the experiential wisdom of taking in and processing what we are not. I often talk about what is our design as being a student and what is open are the courses that we take in life. But I don't want you to confuse the potential of wisdom to the range of the mind. In other words, wisdom is the potential that arises out of conditioning and belongs to the discussions that we have relative to looking at the conditioning of the not-self in order to eventually be able to place the not-self as the great learning instrument of the life, because in fact the not-self in being absorbed in conditioning and ultimately being able to recognize it is, that it is the experiential phenomenon of being conditioned that provides the wisdom. This is very different. What I'm talking about is the true potential of the outer authority of this mind. No matter what they're going to take in in their openness it is going to come from their outer authority relative to their perspective and move through the way in which their cognition system works. True Outer Authority That's different, because you see, this is the true outer authority and not all of it is aligned and functioning even though everything is integrated, because we are dealing with something that is very, very separated from each other. They are truly separated from each other. And we have to see that there is a linkage system, that linkage system is illustrated here, that we have this linkage system of the personality Sun with the North Nodes and this over here to the Moon, that this is the alignment, these are the key elements that bring all of this together. And one of the area of --- PAGE 76 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 66 study for us in terms of really understanding no longer what the not-self potential is, but actually being able to get a handle on what is the true potential of mind as an expressive force. In other words, the true outer authority and the range of that outer authority depending on the way in which it's all ultimately organized. I don't mean to scare you in the sense that it’s very complex. But at this stage in my career I do not apologize for the complex. It's the finishing work and in the finishing work at first in laying this all out it seems like there are all these enormous difference sort of ways that all of these things can be seen and then to integrate them together and particularly for those of you that are right-minded, it can make you feel little queasy, don't. It's like everything else in this knowledge. It's very logical, and you'll see as we go through it step by step that we begin to lay a foundation for the completion of our understanding of the way in which the mind operates. The Moon: Establishes the Prime Focus So let's look at these elements for a moment, because the elements in and of themselves are interesting. And of course this begins with the Moon. As many of you are part it, I'm doing a course introducing color at the lunar and planetary level. Something to grasp about the nature of the Moon is that it is the Moon that establishes what the prime focus is. In other words, it is the key to how this range ultimately is expressed, and when I say expressed, I mean ultimately expressed as a mental concept. It's the Moon that is the gatekeeper; so, magic squares. Again, to be very clear that there are very, very special qualities to all of these alignments, any kind of square alignment obviously has all kinds of very important configurations. And we are going to see that not only do they have special relationships to each other within the context of these configurations, but of course, we’re seeing something else. That is, we’re dealing with the phenomena of data that is taken down positionally to the color level. After this morning's class of History of Geometry and we're talking about what is indeed very sophisticated information, that is, talking about base orientation in the way in which that operates. I had an exchange with Alok afterwards and he was commenting that you've got to have really good data. And again, this is something that is a deep caution when it comes to all of this, because the moment that I give value to all of these elements is the moment that with incorrect data, because we are designed to be easily conditioned, it's very easy for you to be conditioned to something that is really not correct for you and assume it is. It's an interesting point. This Knowledge Is Intended for Children I know that for example Elfriede is going to be doing research on the potentials of rectification and this kind of thing. It's one of the things where if you’re really deeply --- PAGE 77 --- LESSON FOUR: Mind, Perspective, Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 67 educated there is a possibility that through the things like the base, but particularly at the tonal level where you can recognize that you're definitely not this and you most certainly are probably that. But again, all of this reflects upon what I was told when I was given the knowledge, this knowledge was intended for children. I was told that specifically, this is for the children. There was no way that I could go, obviously, to the children directly, but this is who it's for. And again without the birth data we are we are helpless. So how important it is always to remind students of yours and clients of yours that when they know that a couple is going to have a child make sure that they understand that the child has rights and one of those rights is to have correct time, because it does make huge difference. The Range Environment Operates Through Resonance When we enter into the range environment we enter into something that operates very differently. In other words, it operates through resonance. It does not, how shall I say this—you can imagine the lunar and planetary box as a kind of keyboard where you don't play all the notes all the time, you play different notes depending on different situations. And this is how the range is developed. If you look you'll see, for example, that I have three 1st colors and three 2nd colors and two 5 colors and a 6. There is a range, if you will of different resonance potentials. That resonance potential that is there is something that actually is very significant. That is, this is the color resonance potential that is there in the Moon. And as you can see there is no resonance built in in this system. And again the resonance system does not work through harmonies. It isn't like that, because is not a crystal here. That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about in fact a position and we’re talking about a position that resonates to this particular motivation. And of course we are always talking about motivation, so the motivation to focus in certain areas. And again, we have a relationship that's here. Now, what we're going to see is that we're going to be able to learn a lot, not today, we’re going to be able to learn a lot about how to describe a mind by being able to synthesize these three elements. And it's going to give us in our own particular work, and we won’t get there till next semester, it'll give us the ability in our particular work to easily codifying what is the basic mind system. --- PAGE 78 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 68 In that is the understanding of the various relationships that are going to be there. That is, there could be the potential of line relationships. Though there is no color relationship between the Moon and the North Nodes, there happens to be a line relationship between the Moon and the North Nodes, the relationship that is there between the Nodes and the personality Sun and the various ways that relationship will work. Again, for later discussion, is the importance of their base orientation and all of these things. In other words, to see that there is this relationship. But, as an example, if you look at the fact that the mind is a 4, this is the way that it conceptualizes. If you look at its motivation and you come over here into the grid, what you get to see is that there is nothing here, no aspect here that is aligned through resonance. In other words, this is not the way in which this information, that there is not an easy way in which this information is being integrated into the system. It's going to work in different ways. As an example, if we look at the 6 here of the Nodes, and we look into the configuration, we see for example that the only aspect of the planets that aligns itself directly in terms of color resonance to what is in here—and by the way remember something, the resonance here is designed to be impacted by others. I’ll get to that in a moment, so don't think that there's some kind of oddity in its disconnection. It is its own kind of an advantage if there is the resonance themes, because what we're going to see is there are all kinds of ways in which these aspects aligned to each other. What is going to be important, though, is that the way in which this works, that is, this is a linking system; this is not the Moon linking to the Sun. It is the Sun in its linkage to the North Nodes and the North Nodes in it’s linkage to the Moon. Now we know that this represents the perspective, and we know that we have this 6th color and we know that there is a resonance in there. And what we know about that is that this 7, this role of the administrator, this role of itself in interaction this is going to be an aspect of the focusing of the perspective. It is going to bring the range. In other words, this perspective in the way it looks out at things is going to be looking at the way in which things are administered. That's going to be the range relative to that particular phenomenon. What this really represents is something more interesting, I think, is that this box represents the way in which our mind takes in other minds. And what is moved from other minds or transferable from other minds to our minds. Now that's something that is really interesting in terms of the way in which we integrate with the other, and all the various others that are there in our life. --- PAGE 79 --- LESSON FOUR: Mind, Perspective, Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 69 The Collectors of Information Think about—it’s called range, not because there is a necessary inherent gift that is here, but each and every one of these aspects are collecting information. They are collectors of information. And the way in which they collect that information is that they get turned on in different situations. Now, the basic turn on for them is the personality of the other. This is the basic turn on. And the turn on is limited to whatever their color is going to be. So let's imagine that somebody comes along and they come up to me and they have a 2nd color personality internal. And right away they are aligned, I am aligned, these particular aspects in me are very much aligned to them. And of course what happens is that these become the dominant themes, that is, the values that they bring. And this is what they are connecting to in the other. But again, remember that the way in which the information moves across, that information has to move across according to the Moon. And what you end up with in this magic box, this magic square, is you end up with all kinds of relationships, all kinds of filtering relationships, the movement of information relationships. We know, obviously, that the mind is a very, very complex thing. And we have not been looking at the nuances of how that mind interacts. The lunar and planetary square is directly connected to the Node and it is the Node that establish our perspective relative to the world around us. And it's not a one-way street. It's a two-way street. In the same way that we are mentally attuned to operate in a whole plethora of different ways, they only come alive at different times in different ways. And they come alive through the resonance. They become focusing points; they become the scope that is there for the conceptual process. But all of it is related to the other. The Shaping of the Mind When you're looking at the lunar and planetary square on the design side, you’re actually looking at the physical shape of the body, the shaping of the form itself. So here you're looking at the shaping of the mind. You're looking at the shaping of it. That's what this range is. And of course, it is going to depend where all of these aspects are. This is where looking at somebody's design and beginning to understand that the way in which we have been looking at design through definition and through those interrelationships that now it takes on another value as well. In the Four Views course that I'm doing, the beginner's introductory course, how wonderful it was to talk about definition, to talk about the life force and talk about what we all talk about when we start a reading with somebody. That is, what is reliable in you, what is always reliable in you. What we’re also talking about within the context of that definition is what the mind relies on; in other words, what that range is that the mind can work with. It works with the potential of your design, not your not-self. You all know this, the moment you entered into this knowledge your --- PAGE 80 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 70 consciousness has been expanded. That's the least that one can say about entering into this process. And one of the things to really recognize is that you're beginning to be able to tap into what is your range and your range is your definition. It’s just another way of being able to look at it because of course within the context of Rave Psychology we see that everything that is black is who you think you are. So it becomes part of the construct, the shaping of your mental construct of who you are. It shapes your own mental perception of what your mind is and what its range is. This is you. And it is, in a sense, not just a counterpoint to the conditioning and the potential of the wisdom; it is about seeing that they are deeply, deeply different things. When you're finally living out what is your actual definition, who you think of as yourself that begins to actually apply. In other words, you start getting to live out that nature. Many of those conscious channels are going to be connected to the particular authority, are going to carry the value of, for example, my splenic authority. And in carrying that example literally have that within the framework of the quality that is there in that range. It's shaping us, it shapes our mind. It is our design. This is the thing that is so, shall I say ironic, I’m a great fan of ironies; I talk about always returning to the simple and returning to the surface. And here we are. If you want to understand my range, it's very easy, in that sense. I'm an initiator of perfected form in the now. And this is what is the range of my mind. My mind is caught up in all of the material that is there in the consistent definition. This is what it draws on. This is what gives its way of perceiving and the way in which it assembles, conceptualizes thought, that all of this is rooted in the design. And you can see that when you enter into elements like split definitions or triple split definitions that you're seeing that the range gets divided up, that there seems to be gaps, there seems to be spaces. It’s very different from what is, for example, in this case a single definition personality. Not all personalities are going to be single definition. As a matter of fact, single definition Manifestor personality, is not common thing. So, you’re going to see all of the spectrum. Your Outer Authority What I really want to have is the feel of it more than anything else. I don't want you to worry about the detail right now. I want you to get the feel of what this is, and what you see it’s your design. So, one of the nice things to do after all of this is over is open up your MMI and look at just your personality and think about that that is the basis upon which your outer authority is built. That’s where your outer authority comes from. And it has nothing to do with whether or not you have mental activation and this and that. It's all of those things that are part of the personality. This is who you think you are. This is what the construct the mind works with. The mind works with who it thinks it is. It works with these elements. It’s why it’s so --- PAGE 81 --- LESSON FOUR: Mind, Perspective, Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 71 difficult for the mind to deal with the unconscious, because it has no conscious access to, it’s the conscious access that is developing the range. Unfortunately, the range is overwhelmed by the not-self decision-making process. The false wisdom of conditioning that pulls us away from the true intelligence that is inherent in our specific mind with its perspective built on its range. I'm not here to make conceptual concepts based on emotions. I can have the wisdom of understanding the solar plexus. But as an outer authority I can only express the outer authority through my competency, because this is my competency. This is who I really am. This expresses what I really think as a synthesis of who I am; not this. The Road to Wisdom Is to Go Beyond It It’s a fascinating process. The road to wisdom is to go beyond it. You’ve all hear it before, at least those of you that had any mystical interests in life. There are always these jokes, this “stupid before enlightenment and stupid after.” Wisdom is a temporary state that needs to be bypassed. All of you are wise now and why?— because you are aware of being conditioned. Truly this is wisdom. But it is not the basis of your outer authority. It may, ultimately, as a byproduct be expressed by your outer authority. But we’re here to go beyond wisdom, because wisdom is homogenization. It’s collective. It's conditioned. We all have the pure genius that is there in the black marks in our design. It is the scope that we have. It is built into us. It is a great gift. At the moment that we begin to make decisions out of the correctness of our vehicle, we liberate the mind to be pure, to be its pure essence. This is what it's all about. We need to see the significance of it, each one of them. What it means in that context, what each of these gates in their own way, what they bring, that they establish the beauty of the potential. I know this so well. My Venus in the 20th gate in the 6th line, it wasn't here. It was something that was ready to emerge the moment of my splenic system could guide my life. It was there. We have a therapeutic job to do. That is, as Human Design psychologists, we are here to provide the best opportunity we can for someone mentally to reach a state in which they can be correct. I don’t want to attach any other label to that, that they can be mentally correct, that they can be pure outer authority. It is a refocusing. It’s a turning of the wheel and it is a refocusing again to those elements that are there in the design. It is to the place that they are in the design; it is to the traditional qualities that we can attach to the planetary filtering. But that is there in the design. This is a mind that is going to be interested in initiation. It shouldn't be interested in emotional bullshit, or running around trying to get things done, or never knowing when enough is enough, all of those kinds of things. This is what this mind is capable of expressing, grasping, participating in, since it is part of their holistic process. And that they're here to be able to communicate that, all of the various --- PAGE 82 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 72 things that are there that we can take, and will do that because we'll go through some practicals with all of this. Bringing the Personality to Itself It’s about bringing the personality to itself. It’s holding the personality up to its true mirror. It’s realigning it to its core nature. This is what makes my mind unique. It's here. This is what we’re all about. We all have this potential in us, the exception obviously being Reflectors, and again, they are really exceptions. They don't carry their own natural life force. But when we are looking at definition, this is the next level up in the spiral of how to look at definition, and obviously how to look at definition from many perspectives. In other words, in this particular configuration, if you take out, for example, these elements and these elements then there would be no 57. It would be the only thing that would be missing, which is quite a different story. In other words, how does the scope work relative to the way in which definition works? What is the relationship of the various elements and those relationships to the other elements? Where are the resonances, where is the continuity on the surface? Because we can find continuities; when we begin to look at them we begin to see the elements, we begin to see and obvious in my case, this is an extreme in which you can see that everything is connected, everything is integrated in all of this. So there is the full possibility of this range given the perspective and the cognitive capacity all of this could emerge the moment that this being, me, would be correct. And being correct means no longer looking for wisdom, but being intelligent, because that’s the difference. To go beyond wisdom, wisdom is a stage, you can't bypass it. You can't bypass conditioning, it's part of our development in this process together. The development of a practitioner is rooted in seeing how profound conditioning is, and that this is the great challenge to begin with for mind. From the very simple things of seeing, recognizing color transference to beginning to understand not only how one is impacted by conditioning, but how one can begin to distill knowledge from experiencing the impacting until the wisdom is gained and you can go beyond it. You can go beyond it by aligning the personality for the first time only to itself. Once the vehicle is in charge and the personality is free, it is free from the horrors of being controlled by the openness. It is free to be pure, to be its pure essence. And the real journey in our work with clients is to bring them to a new level of love for themselves or a level of love for themselves by seeing what their true scope is. These minds are really spectacular. We've never really seen them expressed, in the same way that from the very first day that I introduce this knowledge I talked about how people don't live out who they are, they live out who they are not. And that means they live out who they are not with a mind that is not truly them. --- PAGE 83 --- LESSON FOUR: Mind, Perspective, Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 73 So this is a beautiful turning of the wheel. That is, coming back to the surface and coming back to who you think you are. And being able to see that this is what makes you what you are. This is it. This is your full scope and potential on this plane. This is it. This is the limitation. I can never be emotionally intelligent. It's not me. It has nothing to do with me. And despite the fact that I can be wise about it has nothing to do with me, that my true mind is rooted in this blackness that’s there. The Passenger Will Always Surrender to the Truth So what we’re going to see is a way in which we can assemble by looking at these three units, we can assemble a basic outline of the essence of the pure outer authority of any particular being. Remember something about the personality crystal, in the illusion of passenger, passenger will always surrender to the truth, always, which goes to show you how little truth passengers have been presented with. But the passenger will surrender to the truth. Oh, there may be resistance, it is only natural. What we are doing is a heresy, but the passenger will surrender to the truth and that means laying out step by step and brink by brick the whole way in which their life has been determined by a potential prana, a potential movement, in fact, a movement away from the pursuit of wisdom to the relaxation of intelligence. It is the realization of intelligence that is experienced by others as awakening, if it is gussied up that way. Otherwise, it's just something that's experienced. It’s very powerful. There is a quality of acuteness that is there in outer authority that is unique. So we have a new thing to look at, and I want to bring you back to your personality. It's very important place for you to go now, just your personality nothing else. Look at it, think about it. Think about it within this context, and think about how each of those elements in your personality is the foundation of your intelligence, your genius. Not only is that a calling card to the vigorous dedication to your unique process. But it's a reminder that you need to look once again within yourself to see what is your own remarkable potential, to see how gifted the potential of you, your mind, truly is. A refresher course on what you're really all about, it’s a great meditation. Anyway, nice to share it with you as always, and until next time you take care, bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 84 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 75 Lesson Five Mind, Perspective and Range The Need to Apply the Knowledge Welcome to all of you and to those of you that are downloading. There is something really basic that I want to talk about that I touched on yesterday in the PHS program and this has to do with the nature of our approach, our relationship with the client or clients. The way in which I see the nature of this knowledge is that it is a great potential as a holistic healing tool. I think it is the purest of such things. But what I understand so much about the nature of what it is to be human is that it is very difficult to be able to transform the other if you are not competent to do so or the other is not ready to be transformed. And that in the work of that exists at higher levels of the development of consciousness that the relationship that exists between one side of the duality and the other that it is this relationship that is the bedrock of what is going to transpire. And it is much, much more so when it comes to psychology than it does relative to PHS. Psychology is going to demand, in terms of the work with the client, a much longer period of time, which means that a relationship has to be established. I am very concerned about the nature of those relationships. We are, as a group and I said this yesterday as a group, the best educated representatives of the knowledge, and as such carry responsibility in that sense. Our relationship with the other is something that has to be based on the knowledge that we have and the way in which we deal with the other has to be rooted in the knowledge that we represent. And I don't say these things so that they are just merely a cliché because I really mean that. It is particularly so in this work because the work that we are involved in psychology, which obviously at this point after these years we've been together in this process we’re far beyond color transference analysis, we see that there is a much grander goal, that is, the goal of being able to liberate the passenger, to be able to transform—perhaps that's not the right word—to help someone transform their own personality experience to bring about what is the potential of their unique outer authority, the expression of that outer authority. That we’re actually as a group on the threshold of being able to express a therapeutic way, in a sense, of being able to bring people to state of consciousness that has been what has been part of the great search for all of the developed intellectual history of humanity. So it's a very special place to be. One of the things that we have to see is that we need to begin to apply the knowledge that we have so that we can adapt our approach to each and every client. It’s not enough to know --- PAGE 86 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 76 their design. It is a unique gift of being able to communicate with somebody directly at their design. I mean, directly at it. This is, again, one of those things. This is a Just Now calculation, and in this Just Now calculation you have a profile—I’m just doing the Earths, but it would be the same thing—you have a profile here that is a 5/1. So, we've got a 5/1 profile. And the moment that you know you’ve got 5/1 profile you know that if this is going to be your client you already know that they're paranoid. You already know that you’d better be careful with what you say because they are going to internalize it and examine it in detail. There are all kinds of things about looking at somebody, seeing their design and beginning to understand them. I look at his bodygraph and here is somebody that attracts attention to feel good, or here is somebody where it really feels good to attract attention. It is one or the other. And of course, it is one of those classic examples of a triple split definition in which their tendency in being not-self is to become a quad, to be only interested in being able to link up this feel-good with the throat system and to be able to express and to be able to get the attention. We have a very special gift through this knowledge. It’s our ability to be able to look at a human being. It's our ability to be able to analyze the nature of a human being to a level of nuance that has never existed before. And in our work it is not about simply putting that on display as a kind of look what we know. It's about --- PAGE 87 --- LESSON FIVE: Mind, Perspective and Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 77 understanding that we have a holistic responsibility in the way in which we work with the other, and that we are the thing that is going to set the example. The Key: How We Treat the Other Before class there was this discussion about partnership and about how partnership is something that can be seen in many, many different ways and the dilemmas that arise out of partnership and that we are at a point holistically where we have all kinds of ways of being able to establish what kind of being, what the specific orientation is going to be, there are all these possibilities that lie within the knowledge we have. But the most important thing is how we treat the other. This is the key. And it's always going to be the key. I remember something so vividly about and perhaps many of you, because many of you are professionals and some long-time professionals, what it was like when you did somebody's reading, and you could see in their eyes that they were really blown away by simply what could be seen. I never forget the look in all of those eyes over all of time now. It seems like forever, that look of being seen. And they were treated that way; they were treated in the way in which they had been seen. If we’re going to help the personality we have to be able to have a correct relationship with the client. And it means you really have to be aware of their design, starting with the obvious of their profile, of their type, of their “this” or their “that,” so that you have a sense of what is the proper approach, because don't misunderstand something, the proper approach is 50% of the battle. There are so many people that could be transformed in this life if relationships with those that could transform them actually worked. And our gift is being able to understand that being, the true essence of that being, and being able to touch that essence, being able to communicate directly to it. Right Mindedness The other thing is that no place else in the holistic knowledge right now is there a more important need for an emphasis on what it means to be right. That is, the nature of right mindedness and to begin to understand that, and as I mentioned, when we get into the second semester I will really—I’m trying to devise the schedule system now to make that a viable process so that I can work separately, at least in three different classes, to work separately with those that are going to specialize in working with the left and those that are going to specialize with working with the right. Obviously, right dynamics are going to be very different, and right dynamics will require a different kind of informational background from me, as an example. The fundamental difference is that—it’s interesting, I've talked about this a lot lately, if you look at the design side you're looking at the nine-centered vehicle and I’ve talked about how on the personality side you have is lag that is there behind. And --- PAGE 88 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 78 one of the things to see that in our work with left and right that when you're dealing with a left mind it can be dealt with one-on-one. But of course when you're dealing with the right mind, everything about the right mind and the presence of the nine- centered vehicle is that it is opening up the potential for the transformation of the solar plexus system and the emergence of the rave. This is something that is quite different. And what it means is that there is a tendency in the right, because they are the precursors of what are the ingredients of the rave that the advantage in working with the right is working with them in pentas. That means a minimum of three clients at a time with the professional, that is, the psychologist acting as a group leader or in the language of penta work acting as an alpha and guiding the group, because obviously dealing with receptive minds is a very different process than dealing with the strategic mind. And the receptive mind is deeply dependent on the presence of others for the release of what is the potential in the right. Remember that whenever you're looking at the right you also have to see that there is always a specific social inclination, because of course it is through that social encounter that the receptivity is rewarded. So, the working with right groups is going to be obviously very different than working with strategic individuals. I've learned so much along the way, I really have. I lumped all the types together into just general descriptions in the early years and it was not right. I began my commercializing of Human Design by concentrating only on the sacral to the point of confusing the other types about the nature of their particular strategies. I've learned a lot of lessons as I moved along in this process. One of the things that is clear for me is that you cannot lump together at his level of service, because remember your client is not a novice. There's no point, your client is not a novice. Your client is somebody who's in Human Design. It's somebody who has entered into the process. It’s somebody who's been through a reading and Living Design program and perhaps has taken maybe another course. Maybe they're interested in being an analyst, who knows, but they’re into the process. These are the ones that are going to be your clients. These are the ones that you can work with, you cannot lump them together. So, obviously there's a very different approach in terms of the direction that you give to what is the right group, because again you will see them differently. It is one of my many privileges in these years now of the Jam and these programs that every Friday I finish my week of traveling very, very deep and very far, I finish my week on the surface in the mundane plane doing business analysis, which by the way though it is the mundane plane, it is enormously complex. It’s very beautiful knowledge, actually, but it is knowledge that is deeply oriented to an understanding of a penta. It is obvious for me that one of the things that's going to be very important for any one of you that are going to be interested in doing right practice, and again, these are decisions that I hope that you're going to be able to complete this by the end of the month and do let me know. Even if you're not planning to do a thesis this year, and that's everybody's privilege after all it's up to you, your authority. It is --- PAGE 89 --- LESSON FIVE: Mind, Perspective and Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 79 important, though, that you indicate what direction you're interested in, whether you're interested in working with strategically or working on the other side, that is, that is working with the receptive groups, because I am going to tailor the educational process into those strands, because again it is part of the surface. It is what I began with today and what is so important for me now; again, without making it so personal, but it is in that sense for me. Life is About the Ability to be Able to Connect with the Other I’ve gone from being internal oriented to external oriented. I guess that's the big a shift in my thinking and it comes at the same time that I have real clarity about the nature of the process. Life is about the ability to be able to connect with the other. And it is a great grace in life to be able to communicate with the other, to be of service to the other. It is important for me that there is a flavor that one recognizes when one deals with somebody who's been trained at this level, a quality or an inherent dignity in the way in which one treats the other and the way in which one expresses one's own depth of knowledge. We’re here to teach, we’re here to guide, we’re here to help people, and we’re here to be of service. And the journey with the mind is a long one. This process is open ended. I don't know what the timing is, it certainly will take less than seven years, but it’s open-ended. It means that the relationship is something that is so important. The Testing Program Before beginning our dialogue today or my monologue today, I just want to make that is as an important point, that it's part of our or approach. And by the way, when it comes to testing and though I don't mean to put the fear of God into all of you but I do enjoy putting the fear of God into all of you and it's fun to do that every once in a while, is that Asi and I have developed this absolutely beautiful testing program. By the way, when I'm through using it for the first time to make sure there's no glitches or whatever, basically it's a system in which I can create an automated test that can neither be multiple choice or can be true or false, that kind of thing, or it can actually be questions with answers. Every question I can upload a unique image for the question. And all of it, the automatic stuff, the automated question-and-answer stuff, is immediately calculated by the program. Students will have an environment, it will be in the IHDS drop down, and it'll appear when there's an exam scheduled. You’ll have a timeframe, and you'll come in and they'll be tests for you, which I think is really cool. One of the things that certainly is going to be in there is about—I know that you're going to be able to help these people at whatever level, but it is very important for me is that you know who they are and that you have a technique for treating them, for connecting to them. Anyway, aside from all of that; oh by the way, my point in all of that is that those of you that are teachers that after I go through the process and I see there's no glitches it is something that I will make available for official IHDS testing, and that --- PAGE 90 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 80 teachers can actually use that facility for students because I think that there's some very major announcements that are going to be made on Friday, so do stay tuned, but in this particular era it is part of where we’re going. Going Back to the Surface Anyway, I digress in our movie so let’s get in here. I wanted to come back to the surface today. I wanted to come back to the surface to be able to talk about not simply what were doing holistically in our holistic classes, but really to come back to the surface, because we need to begin to see how we integrate the information that we can see in this new layout, how we can integrate that information in an understanding about the nature of the person. And after all, this is what this movie is all about. Let me give you of a better view here. What you're looking at on the left, by the way, is the panel layout that is in the MMAI program, which again will be available as of the beginning of the second semester or just before. Obviously you can see that there is a huge extension to the standard keynotes that you're seeing in MMI. In other words, there is the type, here we have a Generator, the signature is satisfaction, the 5/1 profile, the triple split definition, the emotional solar plexus --- PAGE 91 --- LESSON FIVE: Mind, Perspective and Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 81 inner authority, the left angle cross of the Clarion, the determination is indirect, the cognition is feeling, the environments are markets, these three here are PHS terminology, the motivation is guilt, the sense is touch, the transference is hope, the view is wanting, the strategy to respond, the not-self theme. You can see that you're not missing anything that you need to have at a glance. And it is important information in the sense that regardless of what your focus is going to be and at what level your focus is going to be, because you're going to take your clients through stages in this process, it is important that you have these various keys so that you have a complete view of the components that are there. It also begins to give you the opportunity to begin to synthesize the information. In other words, to begin to get a sense of how different aspects of this being comes together when it comes together in the holistic design itself. We’ve been way over on the right, if you know what I mean, we been way down here in the personality world, very far down. And it's been a long time since we came back up to the surface to take a look and see what's actually going on relative to the surface. So, let’s have a view for a moment. The first thing is the way in which I've illustrated this. I will, after all, go back and forth to give you the holistic impression because again I’ll do that just for effect; obviously the holistic impression is quite something. That is, you're dealing with a triple split here; you have a great deal that is going on in this particular design. However, this is who they think they are. Least we ever forget I do love the simple; this is who we think we are. So, everything that we want to discuss about the nature of the mind, this is who we think we are. This is the story. The Personality Internal Okay, so let's begin with something, let’s begin with some simple things and begin to look at them. Let's begin with the fundamentals for example. We have the personality and we have the personality internal. The magic of the personality internal is that it gives you the style of the mind. It's a style. It's a way in which things are brought together, because after all, it doesn't express the full potential of mind at all. In other words, it is in a sense a synthetic place, a synthetic environment, it is a stylistic way. But the style has its own particular directions. It has its own particular focuses. So, if we're looking at—and again looking at this just from the perspective of thinking about the construct of this mind that we see something right away. That the 51, which is the Earth in this particular case, that the 51 is part of the ego emotional definition, but we can see that the 57, that within the construct of who he thinks he is that the 57 as well is in the design is in an open center. So, what does that mean? What you have right away is that you have a major component of the way in which the mind formulates things, a major component that is subject to conditioning. Now of course if it’s operating correctly, that component then can gain access to the potential wisdom that is there. And it is obviously going --- PAGE 92 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 82 to be its interest. But it isn't going to operate all the time, which means that the mind is going to be grounded in a specific focus out of that ego, out of that 51. But there is going to be all of this inconsistency that is here. And remember again, if we're dealing with not-self, if we’re dealing with transference forget even this theoretical discussion. When we look, what we’re seeing is that there is an inherent quality that is here, that there is a deep capacity to tap into things. There’s this solar plexus quality like six tonal, here is the right-ness of this particular being, very, very receptive, in that sense. And receptive intended to be receptive in terms of its hopefulness, the hopefulness that its focus on initiation will be rewarded, as an example. I blew that one, folks, let me go back there. I won’t erase that, it just shows I'm not God today. When we're looking at this, we're looking at a true motivation—I’m so stuck in seeing the not-self—looking at a true motivation that is a guilt motivation. So there is this cognitive, this sensory capacity to have the touch for what needs to be fixed and it needs to be fixed. So again, here is the determination out of this to try to find a way to fulfill that initiation, which in and of itself may not necessarily be the right thing. Again, we have to remember something about what we're looking at. We are going from the investigation of a thing, the crystal. I say a thing, a thing; and we go from these deep investigations of the thing to the phenomenon that appears when the two things are brought into juxtaposition. This is an illusion. --- PAGE 93 --- LESSON FIVE: Mind, Perspective and Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 83 So the moment we are in here dabbling around, you have to see that this is where the movie takes place. If this frequency is not correct, it's all a problem. It’s why it's so important that the relationship that you have with your client is rooted in the fact that you are not their friend, you are in fact, a guide, and a guide that through your own discernment will decide whether or not you can work with them or not, because they've got to be consistent in their process to have a chance to be able to begin to express what's there. We can tell that this will feel good for them, they want that feel-good. And of course the danger then that comes from the whole conditioning field that is there. Transference We know that transference is a real dilemma, the transference in this being, not to do anything about it, the blind hope, the foolish hope, and how dangerous it is for this to being. And it means when you see it within the bodygraph, you also see that it is an element and it is an element that is in the configuration. It’s in a configuration that happens to include the Node. The configuration also happens to include the activation of Neptune, the personality Neptune. There are a lot of things that are going on in here that are all funneled into this particular aspect. It’s very different from the phenomena of the Sun. All of these things lead to different nuances in terms of the way that we can look at both the potential of the personality and what is going to get in the way. --- PAGE 94 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 84 The Solar Plexus System Everything about this being is very clear. And it's very clear because it comes at the very basis of what we learn in this knowledge. It's going to be here. It is the solar plexus that's going to determine the quality of the frequency of this being. It is only when this solar plexus system is truly the authority in this being’s life that anything is going to work for them. But it also means that because the authority is so deeply connected to the potential of this being’s mind that everything about them, everything about the potential of them as mind is caught up in this tribal connection that is rooted in the 40/37. When we are dealing with the Nodes we are dealing with a perspective. We are dealing with the way in which we look. And of course, next week we’re going to have a fascinating discussion of what base orientation brings to all of that. But here we’re looking at the generalized quality; that is, seeing the world of want. This is the view that is here. So, one of the things that becomes clear about this particular person is that when they're operating according to their Strategy and Authority, that is, when they're operating according to their emotional clarity, that it automatically aligns their personality system. It does, or it can, because they’re so deeply connected. Now obviously, the totality that is passenger is much more than this, but these obviously are very, very important elements of it. There's everything there, in that sense, but the Sun and obviously that's a big “but.” But it says that the basic foundation of the mind, the way in which the mind can look at things and the style it will have and its focus in integrating that, that that is going to be deeply dependent on their emotionality and handling their emotionality. And of course as a Rave Psychologist you understand the dilemmas of the emotional system, how difficult it is. I have been at this is very long time. And I've had some incredible experiences with emotional beings, being unemotional myself and very open. But my favorite is something that I'll never forget, because it was the first time that not only did I understand the nature of the emotional system, but that I felt such empathy for the emotional being, something I had never known before. When I was driving in Germany with my associate at the time, an emotional being, and we were on a very tight schedule. I had to drive from Berlin to Hamburg and along the way, because we had taken a side trip into East Berlin because the wall had just gone down and I wanted to see what it looked like over there. And we ended up taking some side road and we got lost. The moment that I became aware that we got lost, I guess it was the moment we both became aware, is the moment that I could feel his emotional system. Now this is a 12/22 and 12/22s normally you do not feel any emotional wave in them, this is a planning emotional system. What they do, though, is spike. They can spike down, they can spike up. In this case it was a spike and a spike moving down. I could just feel the whole process, the pressure, the time scheduled, the disappointment that people will have, the “this and that,” all of that kind of stuff. Finally he said to me, Manifestor, not easy to inform, he said to me that he was lost and we’d have to work --- PAGE 95 --- LESSON FIVE: Mind, Perspective and Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 85 our way around and whatever. We eventually got back to where we started from and found the right way, and though we would end up being an hour late, I think, Elfriede you have been in that class, I think back to that, ‘94 or something like that. When we actually got on the highway in the right direction towards Hamburg I expected that what I was feeling from him because I was amplifying his emotional system and I was very, very, very uncomfortable. I mean, I was really uncomfortable. I was getting angry, and of course I knew I wasn't. I knew it was him, I could feel the whole blast. And we get on the right track, and I'm waiting and within myself I begin this timing process watching my own emotional quality, because I'm sitting in his aura in the automobile, watching my emotional quality as we drive down the road. I don't know how much time it took, but I do know that it took 71 km in distance for that wave to disappear. And I recognized something so incredible about the emotional being, that even when they reach a point of awareness, even when they recognize that no, no, no, this is the wrong energy for this moment, it’s there. And even with awareness it takes time for it because it is a motor. You don't just shut it off. It's the most powerful thing we have. It’s an incredible mechanism. Understand the Intensity of the Process for the Client So, as a holistic psychologist you have to take into account the intensity of the process for your client in trying to find some correctness in their life. Emotional beings just entering into the process in Human Design, whether it's one or two years, this is an exceedingly difficult time for them. This is where the focus has to be. And when you get somebody like this and you look at this particular example it’s like wow, because you look at that and you see how deeply integrated that is into their design. This is really saying so much about them. And again, there is great expertise in this group to be able to do analyses. It’s giving you another perspective and it’s giving you another understanding. But as somebody who's working holistically with another human being, you get to see that this is their real dilemma. This is where the surface and the deep knowledge underneath come together because this is where you begin to recognize one of the dilemmas of the way in which their mental system works. And again remember, that it's not just the Node. We’re also dealing with the Earth that happens to be here in the 51, so we deal with the real complexity of the mind caught up in the way in which they experience this. --- PAGE 96 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 86 The Range of the Mind Last week I began to talk to you about range. And I want you to grasp that everything is the range of the mind. The difference of the Sun/Earth to the Node is that they have different responsibilities, specifically. But they still are part of what is the range of this mind, the subject matter that it is familiar with, that it is based on. So that when you’re looking at the importance as we go back here to these Node to understand that this 40/37, the whole nature of what 40/37 is, this is something that this mind is going to obsess on. You know it, you know it. The Earth itself is connected to this process. It is part of the root of its right-ness, the receptivity that is there. You can see, by the way, that it is the central 5 in the base configuration so the quality of potential peripheral thinking, that is, the receptivity level is really extraordinary. And when you see that all of this is aligned together in this configuration, again from the surface point of view, remember something. We go very deep and many of you have been in this a very long time. Your clients are not like that. They're not. They’re still in the day-to-day struggle with their form, the day-to-day struggle with their personality, the day-to- day struggle with their life because they are dealing with the not-self other and the not-self other is all around them; and no escape. So, you have to remember that when somebody comes to you, and again, this is beyond what is the first greeting, which is the first meeting, which is when you introduce them to the first exercise of opening up the passenger to awareness, that is, to be able to recognize color transference. It still is the foundation of beginning to shake the mind free. This is really the beginning of the process. Then obviously when we’re getting to these kinds of levels of looking at the being and working with the being, they've already gone through these preliminary steps which are really the basis of the story. The Right Needs to Learn in a Penta The advantage that we have is that we can begin to pinpoint in terms of our work with them areas in which they are going to have difficulties. By the way, this becomes much trickier if you're working with the right group and this person for example—and when I say right group, let me give you a reference point. This is somebody that would belong in a right group even though they have a left nodal --- PAGE 97 --- LESSON FIVE: Mind, Perspective and Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 87 system. In other words, what we're dealing with is the basic foundation of how the mind is going to work. This is the Sun/Earth, this is the internal. So, people that are in the group can be right with a left fixing, or they can be right with a right fixing, the double rights, but those are the ones that are going to belong in a right group. That is, that they're going to have to learn about these things in a penta. One of the things and I will talk about this when I work with right psychologists is that the—I think a lot of therapists who works with groups understand that. I imagine for example, Randy, you’ve see that a lot over the years with the groups you work with, they develop a need for each other. There is a very important bonded that gets established, because in fact, they are sharing, relatively speaking, the healing process together. So you have a totally different process that takes place in a right group than takes place in the left. It's really why those things are fascinating. So, one of the things that you have to take into consideration then is the way in which this particular being is going to function within the penta, because they’re going to take on a certain position within the penta and are going to take in information relative to certain areas. We have many, many levels of synthesizing the knowledge at the surface that we have to go through this year. Yes, I have introduced you to some completion aspects that I know how intriguing they are— variables, base orientation, all of these things—and obviously we are going to go through this material. But it isn't that they really represent in the purest sense something new. They simply give us new tools in the way of looking at and orienting a particular being to their environment into their life. And of course, this is all part of our work, and it is all part of our work in liberating the passenger. Liberating the passenger is something that for me is a—I'm an ego being, and because I’m an ego being I need to prove things. You tell somebody with an undefined ego that you’ve got nothing to prove and don't make promises. I’m an ego being, my life is about proving things. Human Design, in that sense, is really my life and proving it is something that I've dedicated now nearly 21 years to. It is why we have this process of getting to this great depth so that I can prove something else, if I can be so vain that moment, because it just sort of sounds that way. That you can wake up the not-self; you can wake it up. Not simply that you can make correct, because I already know that, and it is well proven that following your Strategy and Authority that this is something to transform life, and all that stuff. But no, I’m talking about something else; I'm talking about what has been the mystical Holy Grail, that is, to awaken the mind. And like all things relative to Human Design, though they reveal what is behind the magic, they also become in their own ways uniquely ordinary. I am not talking about awakening in the new age mythology sense of the word. I'm actually talking about something much more profound, because it’s something they know nothing about, truly nothing about. It is the perfection of the passenger. This is the work that we do in this program, is perfecting the passenger. --- PAGE 98 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 88 Color Transference It begins with that first meeting; that color transference, whether or not the client takes to that. Be honest, how many of you have really taken to it? You have to think about that, because it’s something to think about. Color transference is the most powerful phenomena for distorting the personality that exists. It's why the whole beginning of this program in Rave Psychology was oriented specifically towards training you to be able to point out both for yourselves and to others what transference is, and to look for it, to watch for it, because this is a way that you begin to shatter the old seven-centered construct. We’re living with a very immature personality right now. That not only is immature, but my assumption is if I can anthropomorphize it, it is feeling very insecure, insecure because it's in this new kind of vehicle and doesn't really know what to do with it. It’s like as if you took somebody from the horse-and-buggy era and you drop them into a Lexus, it’s like wow what do I do in here and what is this place and how does this all work, and on and on and on and on and on. And I think it's something to really grasp that we have these nine-centered vehicles and we have what, in essence, are really kind of prissy antiquated seven-centered personalities. If you want proof of that, I’ve discussed that already in lunar and planetary analysis, simply understanding the value of planets. The value of planets are still viable on the personality side, but the moment that you look at them on the design side those values that have been attributed to those planets through the millennia don't make any sense, they don't have any place, because the vehicle is not a seven-centered vehicle. The planets and the history of astrology and that kind of thought was never based on being perceived from a nine-centered vehicle, it was perceived from a seven-centered vehicle. So we’ve got these old fuddy-duddy antiquated seven-centered personalities and what we're really doing with color transference is that we’re saying to them, hey, you want to see a new trick that this vehicle has, you want to see how cool it is to be in the backseat of Lexus, or whatever the hell it is, because that’s really what it is. It’s introducing the personality to its nine-centeredness. It’s why color transference is such an important piece of information. It's the same kind of thing you get with a Generator when you first explain to it that sound is its truth and it begins to experiment with it and there is this (sound – woof). This is what it’s doing for the passenger; you're opening up the nine-centered potential for the passenger. We don't know what a nine-centered personality fully developed really is like. We don't. I'm still watching mine develop, and I'm about to complete my third seven-year cycle, because this form is incredible. This is the whole process and all of this minutia that we're dealing with, this is nine- centered minutia. It’s so this personality can take advantage of this form. And it only can take advantage of its form when it gets down on its knees to it. I thank my lucky stars every single day in his life. I mean, every single day; how amazing it is to be in this vehicle. And I know it's not a seven-centered vehicle because I'm such a strategic being, and I know there's something odd and weird about it. --- PAGE 99 --- LESSON FIVE: Mind, Perspective and Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 89 I realized quite clearly that the nine-centered vehicle offers opportunities of consciousness that are not being experience. And it’s not because the form isn't ready. We’ve had the nine-centered vehicle for long time now relative to our process; that is, hundreds of years. It is about our level of intelligence. It is about the education of our passenger. All of you began your process in Design not because of the quality of your passenger, but to the grace of your fractals, that is what it's all about in the end. That’s why variables and base orientation is so beautiful, because it leads us to that mysterious connectivity that lies between and for all things. But it is these vehicles. The Not-Self Still Identifies With the Seven-Centered World It’s why Human Design works. I really want you to understand that and understand the joke in that because I can give you so many incredible explanations for why we turn the decision making process over to the vehicle. You know, dud, as they say in California. It is the nine center. It is the construct. The personality would just keep on leading us down the old seven-centered way. And you can see that, you can see that this is what the not-self is, the not-self still thinks of itself within the historical context of where we come from. It still identifies with the seven-centered world. We've never escaped it. There isn't anything on this planet other than Human Design that is truly nine- centered, and the vehicles that are us, in that sense. I mean, the cultures that we live in are still shaped and held together by seven-centered concepts, by seven- centered moralities, by seven-centered religions, by seven-centered Gods, all that stuff. It's all yesterday. If you said to somebody, look, we’re going to change everything and you’re going to follow the rules of Neanderthals, everybody would say no. But here we are in this brand-new delicious nine-centered form with all of its incredible potential and we’re still sucking our thumb and holding onto the seven- centered way. This is our education process. To bring this personality, bring it up to the quality that it deserves, bring it to a point where it can fully take advantage of what is a correct vehicle operating according to Strategy and Authority, aligned specifically through the potential of its PHS, all of these things, in order to create the environment in which it's really possible to awaken this passenger. How do you know that something is the truth for you? It's like knowing when you're in love, you know what I mean; it's just this thing that is there, and this is what we're leading towards. Don't misunderstand the banality, relatively speaking, of teaching the personality step-by-step, every nuance of its unique process. And when you're dealing specifically with the right as an example, never even to question what in fact they're taking in, because in the end of that process, once that passenger gets precisely the information it needs, well, that’s the moment, that's when it can awaken. That's what it's all about. That's when the burden is finally completely and fully and totally released. And this is when the purest of outer authorities begins to emerge. --- PAGE 100 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

I'm very, very grateful at this point to have these programs—PHS and Rave Psychology—and to be able to see how as they integrate into a holistic healing platform how profound the potential of what service can be there. And it is not about us not having the knowledge that we need to truly back up whatever promise is there in the knowledge, but it will always go back to the same thing. Are you correct? And if you’re correct, are they? Because this journey together in this kind of a process is a very special level of communication and connectivity. And the common ground of that has to be its correctness and then the journey; a great one, after all. It Begins With Watching For Transference As I said, nobody has been there before, and we are building the steps to get to that place. But because we're a long way from the first year now in terms of more than just time, in density of knowledge, I return all of you to what is the beginning of how you transform a personality. It begins with a simple technique of watching for transference. It is something that—I experience it almost every single day of my life. I am acutely aware of its presence. It is something that I can’t help it, my partner, for example, we're exactly opposites so we’re constantly creating a transference field. I'm very, very aware of it. And it's reached a point now where I am not aware of it in the conscious direct sense, I just know precisely—it’s like the taking of it in already protects me from the potential of it to distort my own perspective. It's a fascinating thing and it's something that again if the personality is going to be shattered this is the thing that shatters it, this is the thing that opens the door, this is the first step in the personality and the passenger coming to grips with the veil dropping and the recognition that it's dealing with the form that's far more far more sophisticated than it had been taking advantage of. Away, my pleasure, as always and now until next time, bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 101 --- Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

You can see that we have a very interesting subject today: vertical, lateral and martial range. I was asked that question by you, Cathy, about the word martial. It is specifically related to the planet Mars. I was saying yesterday in the introduction to the PHS class which is running parallel to this, how my view, this essential view, how you grasp the frame that you're given, everything for me because I have outer vision, the visual carries so much information. What I'm finding now because I'm working with this a lot, that is, I’m working with the advanced imaging a great deal is that certain things are beginning to really change my perspective. I think that's something that is part of this whole process now of closing the knowledge. --- PAGE 102 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 92 Dream Rave Lectures I gave you a very special download, specifically for Rave Psychology students and that is, a four lecture Dream Rave lectures. It was originally my intent, I think some of you might remember going back to the first year, it was my intent originally to include Dream Rave analysis because of weak point, to include Dream Rave analysis into Rave Psychology. But it was clear to me as I got into the middle of the first year I realized right away that I would not have enough time to all things I wanted to do in the time frame that I had set out. It's what I separated, the Dream Rave, or what would become the Dream Rave program from psychology. And actually I'm very pleased that I did that because in fact it gave me the freedom to put a lot more energy into the analytical work itself and to expand that part of the knowledge. And quite frankly, in terms of Rave Psychology Dream Rave analysis is built on a three-stage analysis process. Each stage represents a different level of practicality. And only stage one, which is what I gave you in these four lectures, is generally practical and as you can hear in the lectures themselves my encouragement to Dream Rave analysts that they make sure that they help out people entering into Design, newcomers, people who have had a reading, as an example, giving them an insight into what is the key that they have to look for in terms of the strongest conditioning factors that they're going to deal with in their waking life. So, once the Dream Rave program was over my intent was that next semester that I would bring in some classes. And then I realized that again it is just not suitable for the program as it has evolved. I seem to be more like somebody who is writing something rather than directing something. There is, I assume that most of you can feel this, a momentum that is building here that is quite powerful all on its own. So I felt it was wisest to give you this download so that you can integrate this information. It is very important in the sense of adding it to some of the work, for example, that we did at the end of the first year and that kind of work of looking at the conditioning and looking at the way the not-self operates and giving you this extra insight through the comparative analysis, giving you this extra insight into what the key factor is going to be in the conditioning of the waking life. So, it is important information, and I felt that it was essential that as Rave Psychologist that that was part of your repertoire, that is, that was part of your knowledge and your ability to be able to find those points. It also saves me frankly from integrating it into this program so that I can continue in the direction that it's moving us. We have been spending our time dealing with the internal and the external and mostly with the internal. The fact is that you cannot appreciate what really is the external until all the knowledge is available. That's where holistically the external has so much importance. And for me, and I went on and on and on about it this morning so I’m not going to let that carry over, but for me really the secret of life, the secret of understanding the nature of unique life in the world, that this is something that you're going to find along this track along, along this nodal theme. --- PAGE 103 --- LESSON SIX: Vertical, Lateral and Martial Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

The subject today is much more spectacular, and again I have given you a taste of this in the download. These magic squares are really wonderful. In yesterday's PHS class I deconstructed this square on the design side. And again reaffirmed for me how incredibly different design and personality are. They are really different. That's all I can say. And to be able to deconstruct at this level is something that is both very exciting, but it can also be very distracting. So again, I don't want you to be distracted. One of the basis of our holistic meetings beginning next week is that I'm now going to be able to take the lunar and planetary square from the design side and the lunar and planetary square from the personality side and show you how they work together, which is really quite incredible. What we're looking at here [image below] is really something that is groundbreaking in terms of where this can lead to the understanding of the mechanics and the nature of mind. And we have a benefit here that we don't have on the design side. That is, we have the benefit of the continuing influence of seven-centered planetary values and those seven-centered values still percolating through to the remnants of seven-centered receptivity in the personality in the passenger itself. --- PAGE 104 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 94 The Form Is More Advanced than the Passenger Again remember something; the passenger is a continuity over time, so the emergence of a new vehicle. And again, this is really something to understand, to begin to understand the tension that is there within us. We are a deeply, deeply mutated transitional form. We are a deeply mutated transitional form, and as always within the construct the form is more advanced than the passenger. Your form is up-to-date. You've got a nine-centered vehicle. It's the latest model. They’ve been emerging since 1781, latest model, very cool. It has all that extra two-center horsepower, this model. This is the vehicle, brand- new model, and here we have the personality crystal. The personality crystal is a continuity that’s 13.5 billion years old. And it is a continuity that has the potential to operate through different forms. So we've got a personality crystal that has to operate dependent on the forum and this is a new form. You think about 1781. In human context, you say that's quite a while ago, sort of, if you know what I mean. I don't think that it is grasped well enough how densely we are, in terms of our intellectual consciousness, how densely we are wrapped in --- PAGE 105 --- LESSON SIX: Vertical, Lateral and Martial Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 95 seven-centered consciousness. First of all, think about seven-centered beings. 1781 is a crossover point, so let's take somebody who was born in 1780. And let’s say that they’re lucky and live one hundred years. So, let’s say on average that we can imagine that by 1880 all the seven-centered beings had left this plane. Everything about the world we live in, everything about it is rooted in seven-centered thought. Most significantly, seven-centered thought relative to spirituality, relative to God, relative to philosophy, to morality, to all kinds of things that have been bred. We still honor so many seven-centered masters. I don't think that we necessarily get that; that is sort of like—I’ll get too rude. They're not the same as us, or they were not the same as us; they're extinct. It’s something to think about. They’re an extinct variation on the tree. And we’re still honoring their personality constructs. That’s quite something to think about. Everything that we understand about the world is built on seven-centered thought, all of it; rooted in the limitation of a seven chakra system, whatever that limitation happens to be, or was. This is one of the most important things to understand about the challenge that we face, is the discomfort that the personality is going through dealing with this form, because this form is bringing a mutation to the visual cortex. Look here, this bridging the inside of the tonal system, that bridging of the 3 over to the 4 of the outer vision to the inner vision that this transformation of the movement of the potential of the left to the right that this is taking place in the visual cortex. It is in the visual cortex that the mutation is taking hold. And that visual cortex is very interesting again when you think about what these Node really represent to the mind. But I don’t want to digress here. There is a mutation. And in this mutation gives the personality a schizophrenic phenomena, a some-times vehicle, pointed left at like this one, a some-times vehicle that allows it to feel at home—seven-centered, ah yes, Moses, Buddha, Muhammad, got it. Sometimes it'll be right. And you’ve got a very confused personality that is limited in how it can express itself by a mutation in that visual cortex. And this is not a personality that remembers how to be receptive, never gets a chance, because the biggest hold over of the fact that we're dealing with remnant seven-centered consciousness is that that is what programs the not-self every single day. I don’t care who they were, Buddha, Muhammad, Jesus, aliens, not my kind, any more than the chimpanzees are my kind. They’re not my kind. We may share a line, that is true, but they're not my kind. I'm riding in one of these nine-centered vehicles. --- PAGE 106 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 96 The Magic Square of the Personality: Range It brings me back to the magic square of the personality. A range is a wonderful thing. It says something about consciousness potential in terms of the way in which the imprinting works is that we are all given the same potential to achieve fulfillment in our personality consciousness. It is interesting to see that. It is built into this word, this range. What does range mean in this context? Think about it. The Core: The Passenger Is Dependent on Perspective When we’re looking at this and I’ll take you just back to the personality, let's begin with the core, the center of this three-part system. If we begin with the core what we know from the core is that the passenger is dependent on perspective. This is what the Node establish. Again I'm being simple, but they establish a perspective. They establish the way in which you look at the world that is presented to you, but that's what it is, a way of looking at the world. What the Sun/Earth brings is a way of thinking about the way in which the world is seen; a way, a style, if you will, of thinking based on the world that is seen. So what is this? The thinking is based on the range of experience. Each of these aspects represents a source that the mind taps into. It is the range that it has. Its range is itself. After all, when we are looking at this personality view, and we are looking at all of the black that is there, this is who this person thinks they are. All of it is who they think they are. What we see here is the ability to be able to break it down, this “who they think they are.” Who they think they are is based on the way that they see, the way that they see based on their experience. And a mind that thinks according to its range, limited by its range. And then there's a mystery and oh, I do love mysteries. --- PAGE 107 --- LESSON SIX: Vertical, Lateral and Martial Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 97 Range Is Stimulated by the Contact with the Other This configuration, aside from the fact that it obviously has many, many different values to it, there is something really unusual here. It's the color. What we know about color at the lunar and planetary level? We know that it resonates. And as much as the range is the potential source for the thinking process that everything is determined by what is seen, and everything is determined by what is seen based on what is originating on this side of the positioning of where you are and your relationship to the other. Because the whole thing about your range is that your range is stimulated by your contact with the other. There are so many subtle levels of conditioning; some good, literally, like this kind of conditioning. It’s what we could call positive conditioning. It doesn't change anything, it highlights. And of course that highlighting is going to be what the mind in its thinking is going to take advantage of because it's going to stand out. Let’s say the mind is working on a puzzle, and it is Venus, let's say, that is being highlighted in the contact with the other and this is going to be the thing that's going to be behind the drive for the mind to find a solution, the quality of the Venus, the Venus in the gate. And it is what this Venus relates that is going to be the basis upon which the mind can make a decision in terms of its outer authority, how it expresses itself, and what it expresses. Our Minds Are Constrained by Others What you get to see is that we are incredibly malleable. And that the way in which our minds ultimately work is not ever constrained by our genetic potential, but is constrained by the very forces that we have in our lives. Think about somebody who's always there; think about the not-self, think about somebody that’s always there in their life and goes to sleep with this person. And let’s say that consistently, let’s take a look at the Moon, you have a 2nd color Moon and you’ve got a 2nd color Uranus, and let’s say that partner, this is what they're going to accentuate. This is how their mind’s going to work. It’s always going to be based on the same things. It’s going to have a limited range. The other thing of course is, and what we're not looking at now, which we’ll look at holistically, is what happens of course when you integrate this into the bodygraph. Is there a way in which of these things are linked within the bodygraph? Is there movement, in that sense, at the surface in which you can see? But I don’t want to go ahead of myself. Vertical and Lateral Range Let's look at the beauty of a deconstruction of a magic square. Vertical and lateral literally mean direct associations; the vertical to the Sun and the Earth, and the --- PAGE 108 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 98 lateral to the Node. And as we'll see when we get into the holistic next week, we will see that the lateral is particularly connected to a specific Nodes, but nonetheless again I'd want to get ahead because there's a great deal of material to integrate. I just want to give you the basic construct here, so that you can begin to work with it. One of the advantages here is that we have is the interpretive values that we can bring, regardless of the fact that they are seven- centered. There are many here in this group that I know have been deeply steeped in astrology. I think that what this represents is a time in which it's necessary to upgrade, if you will, the values that are traditionally applied to the planets relative to the development of a nine-centered personality. I think this is something that can naturally emerge over time, but I think that it's very important. The values here are deeply related to the seven- centered tradition, even though they are in their own way a new adaptation of that, but it's still very much seven-centered tradition. Yet, this is what the personality is still responding to. So we can still look at Mercury in this way, at least relative to the nature of the personality, we cannot any longer relative to the vehicle. In other words, it needs to be deconstructed and seen in a different way. One of the advantages that we have is actually having the lunar and planetary square, because the construct itself gives us certain parameters. In other words, when we are looking at the vertical range, what we're really looking at is experiential range, within the context of who we are, experiential range that is directly of value to the way in which our thinking process works. In other words, these vertical ranges are very important to the mind construct. It’s very different from the lateral range. This is the way in which the mind is going to be influenced by the other; again understanding the nature of our malleability. In being able to see quite clearly that the way in which we experience life is relative to who we experience with, relative to where we experience it. Even though these are activations that are your activations, if you know what I mean, they’re your imprint. The way in which the imprint is going to be able to function is still going to be impacted and limited in one way or another by the presence of the other, and that is life. --- PAGE 109 --- LESSON SIX: Vertical, Lateral and Martial Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 99 Surrender of the Mind Again, it goes back to surrender. This is the only thing that saves you; nothing else is ever going to save you. You surrender to the powerlessness of your mind, there is no other way. You surrender to the mechanics, to the formula that is a key to releasing the correctness of the vehicle. The vehicle is a nine-centered vehicle; it needs to live a nine-centered life. It is what it is equipped for; it is what the future depends on. Human Design is bringing a transformation in awareness. Not because it is anything more than new. It is opening up the possibility of nine-centered consciousness, and nine-centered consciousness is rooted in mechanics. It’s rooted in being able to see and interpret so that we can get to this place of the grace of surrender. It’s what following Strategy and Authority is. It’s not the surrender of the vehicle; it is the surrender of the mind. The deeper I have gone, this whole movie we've done together in psychology, wow, is the mind ever something that is so easily manipulated. It’s so easily manipulated. It's the illusion machine. And the illusion changes breath by breath by breath by breath. You cannot trust it, but we can see how it works. And again in seeing how it works is liberating for the passenger. Slowly but surely to be freed from the last vestiges of doubt, that somehow that the passenger is important to the life, because that's what the passenger holds onto. The Passenger Is Not Important I want you to know something. The passenger is not important. You think about. That's just personality consciousness propaganda. Everything about understanding the mind is recognizing that it is the essence of illusion. It has no real connection to anything. It doesn't. It's why it’s so afraid to let go, because it thinks it's important. It thinks its life needs it. It thinks it is its life. Now, follow that road, you find folly. We’re at the very edge, really. What you're looking at here is how deeply organized and programmed it all is. That range is not free range, pardon my pun or whatever that turns out to be, but it's not free range. It’s locked into a matrix. And the matrix brings its own values to control whatever the diversity is that operates within. And it is these parameters that become so fascinating, because they become the bedrock upon which the mind operates. Mars And then to begin to appreciate what these planets are all about. By the way, each of the planets dominates in their own way a different vertical or lateral. The martial is obvious; the martial is dominated by Mars itself. I guess it's a nice point to talk about Mars. I think Mars has been treated harshly from the time the Babylonians. I guess it's the redness; it can't be anything else. Everything red in the sky that the Babylonians looked at, they saw as martial in one way or another, warrior's blood. I --- PAGE 110 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 100 think that perhaps for the seven-centered being, that was the best way for them to be able to grasp this energy. I mentioned yesterday, because of course if you look at these squares it leads you to Mars automatically. It’s the center of one's vision. And why is it there? In my experience with the Voice, I had an event that was very disturbing. That is, all of the centers were being described to me by planets that were in the centers, different planets in different centers. And the planets which were both male and female in terms of how I recognized them, because they could all speak, as I said it was very disturbing because it was sort of like multiple personality madness, all these voices inside of you. It was very strange. They argued with each other; it was a very odd thing. It also taught me—I said yesterday I think it was a kind of kindergarten learning program that the Voice developed for dummies like me. But it certainly was very effective. It gave me a sense of things. One of the things that I remember so deliciously was the voice of Mars, which was the voice of a teenage boy. It carried with it—any of you who ever raised a teenage boy or if you were once one yourself, you know the magic that's there, and a magic that can be both incredibly beautiful and horrendously ugly, in a flash of innocence, in a sense. For me, Mars has always represented this great potential. Mars was speaking from the heart center, but I'd have to check for all them, Alok, I don’t want to make a mistake and confuse anybody. I remember that Neptune was in the head center. The other things I don’t remember, but I do remember specifically Mars was in the heart center, ego. I have a funny feeling about Mars because of the grid. It seems to me that it is Mars that is really at the core of the mutation that is taking place on the planet. A mutation that is taking place in the solar system, a mutation that is taking place in the galaxy, a mutation that's taking place in the biverse. It is clear to me that Mars in many ways is the core of this. And I think that it speaks for—you never could have put Mars in the middle of this square in the time of the seven-centered being. But you see, this square is about a nine-centered being. It's different. And the nine centered is a transitional form. It will not last, isn’t going to, but even if it had a possible trajectory it would not last as long as the seven centered. It would last long enough for the full mutation, leading to an eleven-centered rave, would emerge. That would be theoretically the way in which the process would work. Not only are we dealing in a deeply mutated time, but we’re dealing in a time in which the end is near, to be dramatic. I guess that in a way gives Mars a continuity to its older self, in the sense, the end- of-days Mars, the struggle to the end and all that stuff. I just want you to see this; I just want you to see that it's just not there; in other words, it is not happenstance. This is a very powerful position. And of course you can see that here, it is illustrated in what are the martial diagonals, which are obviously very different from each other. And again create all kinds of different ways in which things may link to each, because as a magic square you need to see that there are formulas in here. I am simply just beginning to lay out for you what is in fact the surface of this. --- PAGE 111 --- LESSON SIX: Vertical, Lateral and Martial Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 101 The fact is that the main work that I'm going to be doing in this area isn't going to be in this Rave Psychology program. I will continue to be looking at this in the remaining classes of lunar and planetary color analysis and pertinent information that I develop in that environment I will make available as downloads to the rest of you so you can follow the process as I move along and I begin to investigate these. Most of these things are going to have to wait. Please understand something, I'm not introducing this to you now so that we can build the knowledge on this, recognize that. This is just the finishing flourish. I cannot train you to look at the holistic graft unless everything that is there that you're aware of, that you know it's there and even though you're not going to have to begin with depth in potential vertical range analysis, whatever that may mean, the fact is that you do know that the phenomena is there and you can begin to incorporate it into your own investigations and thinking. The Vertical Range: The Alpha, Beta and the Gamma For example, you can see that here in the vertical range that we have the alpha, beta and the gamma. Again, I felt that these vertical ranges, because this is a highly scientific part of the knowledge that there's no point in me creating a keynote for it, that it’s just simply better to just give it a classic identification and then over time develop the construct, because it's very complex. --- PAGE 112 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 102 First of all, each vertical is a family. And the first thing to understand about the alpha vertical is the alpha vertical is the bedrock of the way in which the style of the mind is developed. In other words, this is the foundation for the mind. And you can see that that basic foundation for the mind is that the ability of the Moon in its role as a key to the whole square, in its ability literally to tap into all of the resources that are there, it being the focus of the range, the values, the mores that are incorporated in Venus, without the mores there is no judgmental potential of this side, that side and the truth, that this becomes the foundation system for the mind and the discipline of the mind. All of these things have a relationship to each other. The Alpha Range And obviously we're going to see that though all of them are activated and all of them are activated within the construct so the potential is there for all the attributes, which attributes are in resonance, which attributes are in connection when the being is alone. So for example, let me sort of put that in a better picture for you. So here we have the alpha vertical, and the alpha vertical is what the personality is going to base its thinking on. In other words, its feelings about whether the world is fair or not. Let’s look at its Venus. Its Venus is in the 40th gate, and we know this is the channel of community and we know it's all about bargains, we know it's all about loyalty, and we know that the 40th gate is a gate of denial, and it goes on and on and on and on and on. --- PAGE 113 --- LESSON SIX: Vertical, Lateral and Martial Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 103 What we know is that what this 40th gate, its relationship, what is its relationship here, in that sense. For example, you have the Sun the 32 and the Earth in the 42. Well, here’s the 42 in the defined sacral, there’s the 32 in the defined spleen, and all of this is integrated together. So on the surface, this mind is always having a connection to its basic range. And it means that the lines and the values of that basic range are really something that becomes important to see. In other words, what is the basic range that the mind is working with? So, this is going to be what the mind depends on. These are the experiential sources, the self that it calls itself, that it thinks of as itself. And of course we know that within the design itself there is this continuity in all of that. And obviously it is going to lead us to all kinds of interesting information. For example, that this is the line of investigation. That is, we’re talking about the Moon. You can see that the color is hope. And you can begin to see that when you integrate that into the way in which the person thinks about themselves and the way in which their mind system, the experience that they're going to rely on, is that they're going to rely on this investigation as a real important theme for them; you know, the detective. In other words, we’re getting an insight. So, what kind of morality are they going to have? Nice line, humility; it's about not attracting the wrong kind of attention. But again, this is a framework about the way in which the mind to work because if you're not attracting that attention then you notice it. So the mind is going to notice it, and the mind is going to make a judgment about what it notices that it thinks may be a negative force. That’s very, very subjective, all that, isn’t it? We know this mind is going to have a problem with desire and because it's Saturn, because it's discipline, this person, male or female, is going to have a lot of problems with desire being there and constraints that are there in trying to hold it into place. It’s very interesting to begin to see these elements, and to begin to see whether it integrates. And then you can see that who this person is, this is their foundation; this is what they're going to be like. You can see the influence and the impact of the sexuality with the Saturn in the 59, the whole story in here. You're beginning to see how this mind is going to work, because you're beginning to grasp its range and the range is consistent. It's part of a definition. And not only is it part of a definition, but directly links the range to the Sun/Earth, directly. So again, it's very, very interesting to watch and see how this works and to begin to see how other things are going to begin to jump in. Again, I don't want to make this endlessly complex, but here's this 1st color of the Sun/Earth, and we know that the Sun/Earth is here in the 32 and here in the 42, and here is Jupiter in the 26, again part of this complex definition, and Jupiter has a 1st color, which means that its particular value is going to be added very strongly to this whole backdrop. Again, they're all of these things that are going on. And what we’re beginning to do is that we’re beginning to open up a way of being able to map it. --- PAGE 114 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 104 The Beta Range So, what we know about the alpha range is that the alpha range really is the basis upon which the mind starts its formulations. But here when we're looking at the beta range we’re beginning to look at something else. That is, we’re beginning to look at the core of the potential of outer authority in the personality. In other words, this may be the foundation of mental thinking. But this is where the richness of outer authority can be found. And so this beta is going to become something that is very, very interesting to look at. In other words, if we take in this context, what we’re dealing with is very, very powerful forces. And by the way, it is interesting to note that at least within the way in which I look at the planets, and obviously that has a lot to do with the way they are presented here, is that the alpha is yin and the beta is yang. I consider Saturn to be yin. That is my take on all of that, but anyway, a drag queen, no a butch, something like that. But anyway, Saturn is definitely yin. So you're also looking at those two different kinds of aspects in terms of the way in which the mind system is operating. But looking at the beta is very interesting because it's the core of the yang outer expression. And in that obviously you see that we're going to have the heightened power of Mercury. This happens to be the range that Mercury dominates. And in this range, the fact that I say that it dominates, and again when we go holistically we will look at all the pairings, every one of these particular configurations, whatever it may be, has a planet that is, if I use seven-centered language I’d say its ruler, for those of you who understand that term in that context. It is a very influential force, and particularly important in the context. It is the continuity of the way in which it is held together. This outer authority again becomes something to see. How does this relate in that context? And again, you can see the serendipity of that within the context of this design, because we already saw the 26 is there. The 52 is also going to be part of that and the 28.5 is going to be a part of that. So, all of that is in there. In other words, all of that consistently is going to be accessible to the way in which the mind is going to operate, which means a strong potential for outer authority. The Gamma Range So, we’re going to see many, many things. What we’re looking at here in the in the final vertical is receptive to the outside. Lateral range here is really about different ways in which we take in the world around us, in looking at the other, in that sense. This is about receiving, learning, literally learning. This is where learning something new can suddenly become part of the way in which the mind will make a decision because something new has been learned and has been brought in. In looking at the at the verticals, the conceptualizing foundation, the range of outer authority and the openness to learning, you get these very, very, very important --- PAGE 115 --- LESSON SIX: Vertical, Lateral and Martial Range Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 105 dimensions, a framework, if you will, to begin to understand how this works and how it works in association to the design of the being. It is quite something. And of course there are multiple functions in this, which is why that nobody should rush into thinking that this is something that can be can be mastered in a hurry. The Lateral Range There is the lateral, and obviously when we’re looking at the lateral we are looking at the crossing over, in that sense, different relationships that are being established in that way between the planets. And of course, all of these various relationships have significance, all of them ultimately in terms of interpretation. So, that is why that you have different planets that are involved in the different keying, so you have different themes or dynamic themes that emerge out of each. A Spiral By the way, this is your learning key. Uranus is such an incredible thing, actually. This is your other authority key. And here's your foundation key. And you can see that there is a movement, and I can tell you that there's one that goes this way and there is one that goes this way and there is one that goes this way and one that goes this way until it comes back on itself again. It is a spiral. But that's fun to play with and to think about. We have an infrastructure now. I think back with great delight that I had the bravado two years plus ago to suggest that we were going to be able to map the mind. It is a delight to get to this point and see that yes that's precisely what we have. [A written question: could you show that spiral again?] Ra: Could I show you the spiral again? Like this, like this, like this, like this, like this, like this, like this, like this and then back. Oh, it’s really wonderful. There is a history—those of you that have spent any time reading about the history of magic and all of these things, magic squares are extraordinary things. They’re the cosmic --- PAGE 116 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 106 Rubik's cube, because that's what it is. There are really laws that are caught up in all this. So the moment that you enter into such a perfect thing, because it's perfect, there are layers and layers and layers and layers of interpretation. I guarantee you that one hundred years after I'm gone they will still be analyzing the variations. I am hoping that by that time that we can have a calculation system in which we can just lay out the mapping so that we can begin to compare mind mapping systems, mind mapping graphings because that's really my goal. I just don't know if I'll get there. But literally to be able to input the data and you come out with a complete mapping. But the nuances, it's one thing to lay that out mechanically with keynotes, it’s another thing to have the depth of interpretation and all the permutations that are there, because obviously we’re not just dealing with a lunar and planetary square that is personality. We have a design lunar and planetary square. They operate in relationship to each other. It's a dualism and it is incredibly magical the way all of it works and to be able to be here, all of us together, to be able to look at it and to ponder it and to be in awe of its beauty, because it is, it is exquisite in its beauty. How simple it is. I see, I know how simple it is; and yet, wow, how beautiful in it. It’s like Human Design, it’s like Strategy and Authority, how simple, how beautiful. Anyway, you can tell I’m enjoying myself. I hope you are, too. Until next time; remember that we have a holistic class. It is not next Wednesday, it is next Tuesday. And remember that clocks change on Sunday. If you’re European it's next Tuesday normal local time. If you're an American it’s next Tuesday one hour later. Okay folks, you take care; bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 117 --- Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 107 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. --- PAGE 118 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 108 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. --- PAGE 119 --- LESSON SEVEN: Holistic Analysis 3 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 109 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 --- PAGE 120 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 110 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 --- PAGE 121 --- LESSON SEVEN: Holistic Analysis 3 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 111 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 --- PAGE 122 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 112 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 --- PAGE 123 --- LESSON SEVEN: Holistic Analysis 3 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 113 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. --- PAGE 124 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 114 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 --- PAGE 125 --- LESSON SEVEN: Holistic Analysis 3 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 115 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 --- PAGE 126 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 116 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]. 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 the other. You cannot imagine how powerful that is. If you’re a cave person and --- PAGE 127 --- LESSON SEVEN: Holistic Analysis 3 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 117 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 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. --- PAGE 128 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 118 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, So 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. 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 --- PAGE 129 --- LESSON SEVEN: Holistic Analysis 3 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 119 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 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 --- PAGE 130 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 120 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. --- PAGE 131 --- LESSON SEVEN: Holistic Analysis 3 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 121 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. --- PAGE 132 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 122 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 --- PAGE 133 --- LESSON SEVEN: Holistic Analysis 3 Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 123 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 --- PAGE 134 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 124 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. ~ --- PAGE 135 --- Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 125 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. --- PAGE 136 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 126 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. --- PAGE 137 --- LESSON EIGHT: Holistic Analysis 4, The LifeLine Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 127 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 --- PAGE 138 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 128 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 Us with Our Way of Interacting with the Other 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 --- PAGE 139 --- LESSON EIGHT: Holistic Analysis 4, The LifeLine Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 129 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 --- PAGE 140 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 130 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. --- PAGE 141 --- LESSON EIGHT: Holistic Analysis 4, The LifeLine Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 131 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 --- PAGE 142 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 132 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. --- PAGE 143 --- LESSON EIGHT: Holistic Analysis 4, The LifeLine Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 133 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 --- PAGE 144 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 134 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. --- PAGE 145 --- LESSON EIGHT: Holistic Analysis 4, The LifeLine Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 135 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 --- PAGE 146 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 136 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, --- PAGE 147 --- LESSON EIGHT: Holistic Analysis 4, The LifeLine Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 137 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. --- PAGE 148 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 138 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 --- PAGE 149 --- LESSON EIGHT: Holistic Analysis 4, The LifeLine Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 139 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 --- PAGE 150 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 140 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. ~ --- PAGE 151 --- Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 141 Lesson Nine Of Two Minds Hello to all of you. We’re at a very special point right now and the point that we’re at is that we have the ingredients that we need in order to be able to do the work that we are here to do. That is, the ability to be able to look at a particular individual and to be able to assess that individual, to be able to assess them in terms of the dilemmas of their two minds, because this is really the story today of two minds. What I mean by that is that I am referring to what is the vast majority of what the mental plane is, that is not-self. Remember that no matter how delicious the data can that can be revealed in AI and all of this extraordinary information about the nature of what is in fact the true mind is that there are very few instances in which you're going to have that opportunity to be able to work with the potential of that true mind. Mostly what we're going to deal with is the dilemma of the not-self and the dilemma of the not-self mind. It is something to keep in mind, if I can put it that way, and something always to remember is about the nature of the passenger, that this is the real beauty of the personality. As a matter of fact, if it wasn't for this I’d sort of throw my hands up in the air and say, well, the hell with it. You either got be lucky or that's it. But it's not so. The Passenger Is a Student There is a great potential within the passenger itself. That potential is something that was inherent in the basic evolutionary design. That is, if one assumes that we could say that the evolutionary purpose was to be able to establish the potential of consciousness in form, then the display of consciousness in form, particularly in the context of self-reflective consciousness in form it would demand a capacity of learning, of growth. One of the dilemmas they have trying to teach computers, trying to create computer programs in which you can get them to learn things on their own, in other words, trying to create artificial intelligence, in that sense, this is one of the most extraordinary things about the nature the personality crystal is that it doesn't just simply filter, after all. That filtering built into the system leads to a potential to grasp, grow on, and develop. It's a learning system. And so, one of the things about the passenger is that the passenger is the great student; it's the passenger that has this—it's not in any way a language we can describe like saying a need, a desire, or a this or that for learning, it's not about --- PAGE 152 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 142 that. It is what it is. If somebody said to you, what is the personality crystal? It's learning, that's what it is. This is truly its essence. So one of the things that is so important for us to grasp about our work, the sophistication of the information that you have been taught, there's an enormous amount of data that you've been given. And yet, each and every one of those pieces of information that are accurate, that are truthful, that are taken in by the personality, that those bits and pieces eventually add up to a change of consciousness. Think about the way it works. We take information in and the information is concretized in our system. It just is. This is the whole point. This is the personality at its very, very, very best. That it wants to understand, to make sense of, and to know in the language of Design. And every time you give it a piece of information slowly but surely it enters into the vehicle. Digesting Information I had an interesting conversation this morning in what is a wonderful class, The History of Geometry, and it was actually something in reference to a comment or question that Cathy had asked me. Basically what it had to do with is that in PHS what we have is six different dietary regimens, routed from the 1 up to the 6 in terms of the color regimens. One of the things that I was talking about in reference to this question was the way in which we digest information. If you’re a cave person, the way in which you're digesting isn't just about the food that you're taking into your system. You're also digesting information. And in fact, the way in which the holistic vehicle digests concepts if you're a cave person, you can sort of get a feel for where that leads to. You digest one concept at a time. It’s like with emotional people, it’s what I discovered with emotional people, you have an intimate moment, a clear moment with somebody who's emotional and you transmit to them information, and there is a moment later where it goes way, it moves in a wave. It's something that it moves and then it comes back. It’s in the body. It goes through a process of being digested in the emotional frequency in the wave pattern and it comes back and it comes back in a digested form. Ultimately that digestion is the clarity. We can never separate the vehicle; you can ever separate the brain system. And one of the things to understand about feeding the personality the truth, is because that being is operating correctly, that is the criteria, you cannot enter into the Center for Human Differentiation if you're not experimenting with your Strategy and Authority, there’s no point. And of course, what this is doing is aligning the vehicle to what is correct, but it also means that whatever is being interchanged between the practitioner and the client, between the psychologist and the client, is that this is being based on a communication that is rooted in the recognition of the other being, the way in which they need to be communicated with, the way in which they need to enter into processes. --- PAGE 153 --- LESSON NINE: Of Two Minds Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 143 And it is so important to recognize something that the moment that somebody takes in so-called intellectual information that the digestive process is not something that's taking place in the Netherlands of the personality’s domain. It isn't. It is being taken into the body and it is being processed through the body. It's being digested. Think about what happened to you when you first met Design. Think about the first year and think about how there was a gradual shift in the way you look at things. The assumption is that this was an ongoing mental process that was taking place. But it isn’t. The mind is very cute, but the mind is nothing without a brain. And the brain system obviously is going to operate best when it is rooted in its true unique cognition. What Strategy and Authority brings to our lives is that it brings us the beauty of the power of the internal, because it gives us immediate access. We get the cognition, we find out right away. And it is this brain system that has to digest what the personality is taking in. And how does the personality tap back into its memory? You think it pulls it out of nowhere? The neural tracks, the stimulant that is necessary, all the various things that have to take place in order for any cognitive process to function, it’s all over here. So you see what I'm telling you is something very, very important, is that when you're talking directly to the passenger, it doesn't matter whether the personality understands. It doesn’t. The beauty of mechanics and the truth of the mechanics is that they penetrate very deeply. It is quite a thing to go through, but it is so important to understand that as the passenger takes in this information slowly it is processed through the correctness of the way in which its brain system is operating. This is what Strategy and Authority brings. It brings a change in your cognitive potential. We know what the cognition is here. This is one of these mouth breathers [image below], one of these taste people taking in the information very deeply and processing it in the system and then the mind plays with it, based on whatever its criteria happens to be. The Two Minds Let's look at the two minds, because that's really our theme today. What am I talking about? We spent a lot of time looking at the not-self. This is the world, and this is what dominates in that world. And it dominates in a way that is frightening. I'm a heretic. I teach you to break the covenant. I tell you that the only way that you can exist is to exist as your own authority. This is the only, the only, the only path. There is no other path. As a matter of fact, paths have never, ever existed before. The only path is unique authority. And you can see no matter where you look in the knowledge of Human Design that we are overwhelmed by conditioning. It is everything. It is a whole essence of our life, who we connect to. It’s the whole essence. It's all on the surface; it's all the genetic imperative. And humanity is deeply, deeply, deeply homogenized, clever monkeys, deeply homogenized. And in that deep, deep homogenization the unique mind does not exist. In this homogenization what you have is only the not-self --- PAGE 154 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 144 mind. This is our world. It's your neighbors. It's the friends of your children. It’s the people that you have to deal with every day. It is the police officers, the firemen, it's the government, and it’s the doctors and lawyers. It's everybody. It maybe deeply intellectually satisfying for all of us to meander through the intricacies of the potential of the true mind. It’s like being Alice in Wonderland, because this is not our world. And the not-self is deep, deep, deep sickness. It’s what locks everybody in. And it is what the program is about. The program drives us along a huge evolutionary arc. It is what it does. And it demands within that that we are obedient. And boy is the program good at that. We are driven, seduced. We are deeply, deeply conditioned from the moment we open our mouths, from the moment that the first spoon goes in, the moment that the nipple goes in, we are homogenized, deep, deep, deep. When that person walks in through the center, no matter that they are experimenting with their Strategy and Authority, we know that this powerful not-self mind has not in any way given up. It’s still there. It needs to be elaborated on. The very first technique that you teach someone, that technique that I taught you in the first year—color transference—to train their passenger to begin to see that you have to begin to make sure that they understand the density of their conditioning. Oh, needing to attract attention, yes, yes, and not knowing what direction, and not knowing what is enough is enough, always in a hurry and under pressure and holding onto things that are bad for them. This is the not-self. And it doesn't matter what the trajectory is for this being in its life. The not-self world is full of not-self heroes, not-self stars, not-self billionaires, not-self athletes, not-self everything. We have been conditioned to believe that that --- PAGE 155 --- LESSON NINE: Of Two Minds Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 145 expression of specialness within the not-self domain is actually just that, specialness; it is not. It is just another mechanism of control. They are all mechanisms of control. I may be a heretic, but I would never want the program to stop being in charge. I understand that at the edges there is always a possibility to step to the other side. There has to be, within the consciousness program, the extreme of those who break the covenant; otherwise, it would not be a truth. Those beings who meet Human Design, who enter into their Strategy and Authority, yes it can definitely give them a better life. But oh, the journey to be awake, that something else. Very much a part of what we do is educate, reaching out to the great gift that is inherent in the passenger to learn, so that it can have its freedom, truly its freedom. Oh, yes, it is relative, all things are. It is a maya, after all. But, it is a delight when the passenger is able to fully live out its possibility. No True Outer Authority in the Not-Self There is no outer authority that arises out of the not-self. There isn’t. There is this deep confusion in the not-self, and there is no true outer authority. The magic of the true mind is that that is what it is for. The passenger is here to express itself. And oh, how it longs to do so and how trapped it is. Incarnation after incarnation, I tell you, what a trip—sit in the backseat and not get it. This is humanity. All these poor passengers, nobody ever tells them the truth, because this all has to be confronted. In Design, in terms of just your basic design, you don't really need to know anything other than a strategy. But we're not talking about that, we’re not talking about analysis. We’re talking about breaking through the barrier to reach the passenger and to teach it directly. That means you teach it about itself. You expose its not-self. And you expose it at its deepest level. It's the work. It is a gift to the passenger. It is ready to learn, it is ready to express unique self-reflective consciousness. --- PAGE 156 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 146 Chart of Jonas Salk It is one thing to think about this design, the waking being wandering around on the plane. And then you look at their dream rave and you see that the program gets us so deeply. If you're a Human Design analyst, it’s not something you can really see to understand where the deepest theme of conditioning is. I did this chart once before. This is Jonas Salk, the discoverer of the polio vaccine. And if you look at it and you just look at the fundamental conditioning elements it is one thing, the fact that you've got a broad split, so here somebody that only sees that people have problems, which of course is very interesting. You’ve got a not-self direction in that. But when you're looking at the conditioning elements here, the moment that you go into the dream rave construct, and the moment that you get to the weak point, and this is the weak point, I gave you all those four classes on weak point analysis, so you can review that if you're not certain about what hell I'm talking about. But anyway, this is the weak point. And of course, what this means is that the moment that this being wakes up there is a yearning for this “I want to be responsible. And being responsible for the herd, for the tribe is something that is very, very important to me. And I want to be the one that educates them, I want to be the one that brings the law,” and so forth and so on. And so this being wakes up in the morning and you look at all of these conditioning elements all night, their movie, conditioned. We are in a deep program, so deep, so dense, so deep. We are of it and it is of us. And the thing to recognize is that this is the great distortion of mind. It is; because conditioning is something that is very fundamental. That is, it is based on the genetic imperative. That's what it's about. We are designed to want to have what we don't have in order to be reproductive, but there's a problem. We’re not seven-centered, we’re nine-centered. And nine- centeredness is very odd in the way in which its fertility operates. In other words, there is a breakdown in the nine-centered being, a breakdown, a slow deterioration of the power of the imperative to be successful. After all, the species is dying out. Deconditioning Before Liberating the Mind It’s why Strategy and Authority is so important. It is the only way that you begin to deal with the passenger. You can't reach the passenger until then. And you can understand that by recognizing how limited the passenger is in that, that those beings that are going to meet this information do so on fractal lines, they do so through specific alignments to forces of influence. It's the only way. I watched, I mean, after all, I’ve been doing this a long time now, I’ve watched many, many students over many years, I watched their process, dealt with them in dialogue. You can watch over time this changing of the way in which the personality expresses itself, the level of insight that is brought with the expression of the personality. This is part of the transformation that can only take place, particularly after you've gone through your first seven years. You have to get through the deconditioning before you can really begin to liberate the mind from the not-self. --- PAGE 157 --- LESSON NINE: Of Two Minds Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 147 In September when the Center for Human Differentiation opens, obviously there are going to be lot of people that are curious and who are going to be interested in the services that are available. And again, it is something to realize that the first thing is the deep commitment to the process, because otherwise we can't do anything with the passenger. We can’t. Everything about our work is communicating to the passenger. That’s our work. And as long as the mind is rattling around with its not- self stuff, then we don't actually get to the passenger, because we get blocked off. That is, when it's both inner and outer authority the mind controls all communication. And it is a devious mind, in that sense. In other words, it does not permit the real information to be able to be transmitted one way or another. It's why there are so many problems in human communication. What we’re about is that our dream, if I can talk about that that way, a vision, I guess is better as language, is to be able to do the spectacular. That is, to be able to introduce the passenger to itself. Truly, I mean, this is what is so exciting. You'll have to wait, in a sense, until next semester, when you all have the program, so that it's much easier for me to be able to work with you and to be able to work with analysis. You will see that the promise that was there at the very beginning of our program together, the promise of the mapping of the mind, it is here. And it opens up enormous potential for us in terms of being able to educate the passenger, to align the passenger to its true nature, in that sense, to its capacity. And obviously, there are fascinating things in all of this to deal with, because we get to see finally the true differentiation of mind. And not mind the way in which it is displayed through the not-self. It's the thing to really understand about that, is that in the lunar and planetary square, as an example, where you have the range that the mind taps into, which in essence is the essence of the experiential framework for the mind to work with and develop concepts, in looking at those aspects, understanding that even though those are aspects that clearly you can see integrated in the “who you think you are” of this being, that the fact that this being is operating mentally not based on the range that is the there, because all of that is being overridden by the power of the split and the power of the open centers. In other words, the conditioning becomes more important. As a matter of fact, it gets to a point where the underlying potential of the mind, that is, the potential of the passenger because please remember something, the only way we can look at this information on the right, the way it's illustrated here, which in fact opens up all the possibility of being able to do the analysis of mind, that all of this is rooted in dealing with the passenger, not dealing with the not-self, dealing with passenger. Introducing the Passenger to Itself In other words, dealing with the true potential, the true awakened potential of the unique mind, it is here. And it isn't about we have to do anything about it rather other than elaborate on it. In other words, they need to be taught what it is. Think about it. It is one of the most insane things you'll hear me say, but think about it. --- PAGE 158 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 148 It is about teaching the passenger how to be the passenger, to introduce the passenger to itself. The passenger will do the rest. It will. When you explain to the passenger what its foundation is, it will take that information in and because it is accurate, and it is, it will process it, and it will learn about it. It will begin to, in essence, recognize it. The passenger doesn't know. This is the thing that is so disturbing about how deep the miasma of the not-self is, because the passenger doesn’t know. The passenger thinks it's the not-self, because that's what it is experiencing. Remember, the passenger is experiencing the phenomena of the self-reflected movement in space. It is experiencing the byproduct of the phenomena of the vehicle and the way in which the vehicle operates in space, all of that stuff. And what does it get to experience as a passenger? It gets to experience the not-self, so it assumes that’s it, and it spends all its life being that, after all. It learns to be that not-self from a young child. It watches the development and growth of the not-self mind. So, the passenger doesn’t know, but it needs to hear it. An interesting thing about this process, because in the next semester I plan to stream you into left/right groups at various times in order to do specifics oriented to left and right. This process for a clinical penta, if you bring together three or four or five right beings and you introduce them to this kind of information for the passenger, it just flows deeply in. And the outcome of that will be experienced in terms of the level of communication and awareness that gets expressed by the passenger’s outer authority. This is the thing, we as a group, as professionals, that ultimately this is what we will see. That is, we will see the transformation in the way in which our clients express their outer authority. And it’s all about teaching the passenger. The passenger has to be convinced of certain things in order to allow you to do that. It’s why color transference is so important. It's why explaining to the personality, the passenger, what it means to be not-self, to really be clear that they grasp the depth of that. And of course, the depth of that not simply from the waking rave, but also from the dream rave so that the deep conditioning weak point can be exposed so that you can really put your thumb on those forces that have been driving this being mentally, and they have to confront them. The Center for Human Differentiation Though that's not necessarily true in all cases because the Center is for people who are involved in Human Design, there may be many who will come to the center who've been involved for longer periods of time, but the majority is going to be those that are going to be coming to this service. For me it's clear. And I said this last night in the PHS class that the Center for Human Differentiation is going to be the very first healing environment for nine-centered beings, because we are literally the first self-aware nine-centered beings, and we are different. We are different in the way in which our vehicles operate. We are definitely different in the way in which the potential for our minds and the way in which our minds can operate. We, --- PAGE 159 --- LESSON NINE: Of Two Minds Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 149 in fact, have a deep, deep mutative process that is taking place, particularly in the visual cortex in which we have this binary way in which the mental system operates, whether it be strategic, as in this case, where you have a strategic internal here, the strategic mind with its deep focus. And it is interesting that we will only be able to see this over time in terms of our work, but it will be very interesting to see the gestation period and the way in which the passengers utilize the information they're being given. The only actual therapeutic technique of a Rave Psychologist is color transference and recognizing it. This is the only real technique. Everything else about us is that we are unique educators. If I look at the Rave Psychologist, I don't see a therapist as much as I see an interpreter, a translator, a communicator, because this is what the passenger needs. The passenger needs the information. Now, I'm going to show you by the time we get to the third semester the way in which this whole process can be laid out, laid out for both the left and laid out for the right. When I trained analysts, I trained them not to educate, because that’s not their job. But you're not analysts. You're here to educate. But you’re here to educate in a unique way, because of course you are providing not a generic for the passenger, but your gift is to be able to provide a unique education, their education, their precise education, exactly what they need to hear. Now, it gets programmed in stages because you can't just throw it all at the passenger—one step at a time. And it begins with their view. This being that’s here to see the possibilities, this is what this true mind is about, this ability to see the possibility. It's a real gift to look out in the world and see the possibilities. This is the foundation upon which this conceptualizing is always going to be about, which means that you have a mind that’s going to be engaged in speculation, a mind that’s going to enjoy being engaged in that kind of speculation, and a very, very strategic mind, looking out at a world, driven by desire, the desire to be able to concretize the possibility that it sees. And then of course, it's going to be dependent on this conceptualizing because the conceptualizing is just a style. It's just a style. It's the Sun/Earth schmooze, if I can put it that way. It's the style of mind, not the substance. It's not the substance. It is the style, the way the mind conceptualizes. But what the conceptualizing is based on is that we have a view that looks out on possibility and that possibility is experienced through the range. And it is experienced in different ways, in the magic of the square. And so that view of the possibility, well, we have a foundation, the basic foundation, what the mind needs to rely on, what is going to be its key and each one is going to be unique. Every single one of them is going to be unique. The 55th Gate What I'm going to teach you is how to read the box, because this is what it's about. And what you're going to be able to do is provide the nuance. In other words, the unique aspect that’s there. Now, think about it for a moment. This is the 55th gate, --- PAGE 160 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 150 so you have a highly mutative gate; no question about that. And you've got the 5th line which is growth. Now, one of the things to understand about any of the aspects here in terms of using the gate information analytically is the need to read the gate from the top. What I mean is, if you look at the Rave I’Ching, on the right-hand page where the Rave I’Ching lines are all laid out, at the very top underneath the name of the hexagram itself, there is a general introduction. For example, in the 55: Abundance is strictly a question of spirit. Well, this is the foundation for them. This is their foundation; the foundation of the way in which they look upon possibilities. It is one of those key ingredients in the way in which they're going to conceptualize. And of course, because these are aspects in the design they are enormously important. It is the first time that the real integrity of the involvement of the planet, so that they're not sort of like sperm bank imprinters where they leave their imprint and run away, here within this level of the knowledge we finally get to reintegrate the planets and reintegrate the values of the planets, because of course they do make a difference. Venus in the 9.6 When we are looking at Venus as an example and we are looking at this aspect of the foundation, this is all about: Potential can be fulfilled through detailed attention to all pertinent aspects. Well, guess what? This is a mind whose foundation is built on getting all the pertinent aspects, and all those aspects that carry the right spirit that will help to fulfill this possibility. It is the underlying value that is there, and it's the line of gratitude; a mind that will really enjoy that potential through the detailed information. We begin to see the foundation. We begin to see the way in which the passenger’s outer authority becomes determined. And yet it is only an aspect of it. I mean after all, it's not all of it. We also have the third component; each one of these components is very important. And we will go through detailed analysis of this information so we can see the mapping. Saturn in the 15th Gate Here in the 15: The quality of behavior which expresses the proper balance between extremes. So, you have a mind that’s going balance the extremes. It's going to balance the extremes. It is going to work out the detail. It is going to look for the spirit. And all of this becomes part of the foundation of the way in which this conceptualizing will conceptualize the possibility of what is seen. And of course, these aspects have places here that are in the design. And you can see, as an example, if you're looking at them that in this case these aspects are not connected to each other, nor are they similar in terms of their color, in terms of the way in which they’ll resonate. --- PAGE 161 --- LESSON NINE: Of Two Minds Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 151 In other words, that the mind isn't the passenger, isn't always gaining access to all of these at the same time. And that in fact, the 55, which is part of this definition, is much more an active experiential source than anything else, the strongest of the aspects of foundation. Though, in resonance any one of them can dominate in the way in which the foundation is laid for a concept. But how you take it in, or what is the framework of the way you take it in, is different than the way in which you point it out. And it's also different in the way in which you process it. Here is where you learn. This becomes the outer authority. These are the aspects that will lead to the expression of the outer authority. And I'm not even beginning to go in this direction. An Exercise to Do I have an exercise for you to do—you all have your AI designs—is to look at your foundation, and the way that you do that is look at the main keynote underneath the hexagram. This is the overall keynote for the gate. That overall keynote and the keynote for the line and the line’s description, and begin with foundation. In other words, put them together. There is a great art in Human Design, that is, the art of keynoting. And I think that it's something that continues to be worked on. I obviously don't do it enough. I think that more or more teachers should really work with their students in keynoting. I think that it makes great workshop things that you can do. But, one of the things to do with this stringing together of these themes is to begin to see how they flow together, find the continuity. That's the beauty of stringing keynotes together is that you begin to get the continuity. Get the continuity that's there in the foundation for your mind. And remember to always see it through the context of your view. It's very important. Because again, you have this linkage that works this way, the nodal system is the key to this. So it's very important when you're thinking about your keynoting think about the keynoting in terms of the perception, the way things are looked at. And then you're really getting the foundation for how the conceptualize is going to work. The next step is to look at the learning; jump over the outer authority, don't go to that directly afterwards, go to the learning next, to the gamma. Let me give you an example of this, so I give you a sense of what to do with that. Let's take the example of Uranus in learning. You can see that the learning is—in astrological terms we would call this generational. That is, here we’re dealing with the outer planets, we're dealing with planets that in essence are, particularly in the case of Neptune and Pluto, that have orbits that are much, much longer than the normal human lifespan, so their impact is very different, in that sense. --- PAGE 162 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 152 The 19th Gate But, these are going to be the learning themes. And in terms of those learning themes, for example, the 19, that: All things are interrelated is apparent and manifested through the action of approach. Well, guess what they have to learn? And they learn that through the 1st line. They learn it through interdependence. This is what they’re here to learn. This is what this passenger is here to learn. Thing number one: that all things are interrelated and apparent and manifested through the action of approach. Neptune in the 56th Gate Oh, you can learn some incredible things about your own passenger. It's very important that you do this for your own passenger, because nobody else is going to do it for you, do it for yourself. And go through it and see it and get a sense of the level of data that we’re dealing with here. What is Neptune there to teach us? When Neptune is a teacher, oh, is all I can say. That's not an easy class to take. What is here to be learnt in the Neptunian field: Stability through movement. The perpetuation of continuity through the linking of short-term activity. It's what they're here to learn. And then you can see the certain aspects within the design of who you think you are really who you think you are. The 43rd Gate This is really the foundation of this is what you're here to learn in this life, this passenger. So you have a basic foundation. There is all of this that you need to learn, the three things that you need to learn. And then the expression of it, the potential of the passenger through the beta vertical to express its true nature, outer authority, pure unadulterated outer authority. In order for achievement to be maintained a new order must be fairly established. Outer authority, a new order must be fairly established. By the way, a new order was. He never took out of a patent. He gave it away. He did create a new order. It’s just interesting when you look at things. And of course obviously, you've got a relative conjunction within a hexagram so, in other words, in order for achievement to be maintained a new order must be fairly established as a theme obviously is deeply a part of what he puts out as his outer authority to the world around him. --- PAGE 163 --- LESSON NINE: Of Two Minds Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 153 The 19.6 The lovely 19.6 at the end, that all things are interrelated is apparent and manifested again; there we go. And this is his outer authority, his outer authority to express this to be the recluse, to be the fool on the hill: The avoidance of contact in general but not exclusively, so he's not going to express his outer authority to everybody. We have a map. It makes everything that's ever existed before, just reveals it for what it is. We actually have a map. So, the moment that we go through as we will in our process, through understanding how all the ingredients integrate together. The moment we understand the nature of this, the moment that you digest your own is when you begin to see how profound an impact this will have on the individual passenger. We are here to provide the unique mirror. We’re a mirror. We are showing the passenger what’s always been there, but it's been there in the activations. It's never been lived out in the holistic not-self dysfunctional frequency. And the beauty of what's possible in this, how important it is for each passenger to grasp its essence; again, nothing needs to be done. It’s simply a matter of filling in the data. The thing that is so beautiful about this mapping is that how different we all are. And each of us needs to experience that difference, our configuration. It will also give you a brand-new respect not just for the planets but where they sit in the bodygraph, what it means then to really see the relationship within the construct as a whole. This is where the unique mind is revealed. And the moment that the passenger has the mapping is the moment of the passenger can begin its final process. I never would've started this if it wasn't absolutely clear to me that this is actually the way to awaken a human being. After all, awakening beings is nothing more than myth in our history. This is something else. To be able to nurture, because that is what we are here to do, we are here to nurture this beautiful thing. It’s a thing; it’s a beautiful thing, this personality crystal to polishing it to give it back its luster, its grandeur, its ancientness, its profoundness. To give it finally its perspective that it can let go of the concerns of the mundane plane, the folly of the not-self mind and to embrace the incredibleness of uniqueness. It’s such a thing to think like no other; such a thing. That's all for today. You take care, and until next time; bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 164 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 155 Lesson Ten Mind Mapping - The Vertical Welcome to all of you and to those that are downloading. You’ll notice my little note. In fact, this is our last Rave Psychology class for this semester. Next Wednesday is the final holistic class. It's the final holistic class, by the way, until the third semester so it’s important that it is an opportunity for me again to bring together the two aspects in preparation of all of you getting access to the programming. But anyway, just as a note to remember. I want to be able to give you something special, in a sense. I'm having such a good time at this level of the knowledge and there are so many extraordinary things to look at. I was thinking the other day about the impact of the transit field. I’m not going to get into that now, but anyway, there are things that I understand now about the transiting program that I never knew before and I've been doing transit analysis for almost as long as I've been a professional in Human Design. There is so much information that is available now. And one of the aspects, the reason that I bring up transit is of course one of the things we've been looking at and material that I've been giving you both from this course, but from other courses I’ve been working with, is the lunar and planetary square. It was where my interest was when I was thinking about transit and what this alignment means in terms of the way in which the transiting program organizes humanity and the way in which humanity looks of things, takes things in, shares concepts, all kinds of things. --- PAGE 166 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 156 No Natural Alignment between the Orientation of Design and the Orientation of Personality So, what I wanted to show you today was another level of our mapping process. It's interesting because those of you that are both programs you'll notice that there has always been a symmetry between the PHS and Rave Psychology in terms of parallels in the material that I work with. In fact, Rave Psychology actually requires much more grasp of material. And in fact, this is just the beginning of our work with this aspect here, which is, on the personality side, of enormous importance, much more so, by the way, than on the design side, but that is a different story, it operates in a different way. It’s one of the things that you get to see, that I have grown to see with greater and greater and greater recognition the difference between these two things. This design, this personality, how truly different they are. I was working the final mechanics this morning in History of Geometry, we were working with base orientation and it was one of the most profound things that I could say in the whole series of those lectures was to be able to point out that there is no alignment between the orientation of design and the orientation of personality. There is no natural alignment. In other words, they really are, in essence, not compatible and is one of the bedrocks for the dilemma of the personality. It is quite a thing for those of us who in this work in Rave Psychology to get to a point where we have all of the necessary analytical information. And we’re going to spend a great deal of time in the next semester going deep into the analytical mapping and being able to do that mapping as in-depth as possible. And it begins with keynotes. --- PAGE 167 --- LESSON TEN: Mind Mapping – The Vertical Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 157 Keynotes It is the only way in this science of differentiation for us to be able to establish formulas that are translatable that become common denominator for us. The keynotes here are significant. That is, they begin to open up a doorway for us to begin to grasp the mechanisms of the way in which our range operates. And remember, when we’re looking at the lunar and the planetary square what we’re looking at is the experiential development in our lives. This is experiential development. After all, it is all these gates that are black, every single one of them is part of who you think you are and is of course not what you are connected to experientially. This is what enriches your potential, ultimately, to be able to conceptualize, that you need all of this. And each and every one of us has a unique configuration. It is the thing that is perhaps the most outstanding about the way in which this works. I want to be able to take you today into just some glimpses so that you can go back and you can begin to work with your design and begin to work with your lunar and planetary personality square and begin to look at the way in which your own mental system takes in experience and how that experience gets differentiate. The Vertical Range: The Alpha, Beta and Gamma As an example, what we’re looking at here, and again, this is a very complex subject. I'm not looking at the laterals and I'm not looking at the diagonals, we’re only looking here at the verticals because the vertical is the infrastructure, if you will. In looking at the vertical range again recognizing in that that it is an aspect; that we have these three different areas that we deal with. That is, the three verticals: the Alpha, Beta and Gamma verticals. Let’s think about them just from the point of just their basic thematic, because the thing to recognize about that is that each and every one of us, because our configuration is placed within the square, all of us have the infrastructure of the range, but we all bring a nuance to it because we all will bring different aspects to that range both gate, line and color. So that the nuances that exists, the variety, the variation, the differentiation that exists in our range is extraordinary. It says something deeply about us, doesn't it? For 21 years now, just about, I’ve been dealing with the dilemma of the mind being a problem. But I am also an enormous admirer of mind. It is such a beautiful thing; the miracle of it, just the plain old-fashioned bottom-line miracle of it. It is astonishing. And it fills up our lives. It gives us the illusion of our lives. Mind is an incredible thing. And we’re not designed to be sheep in which we all go bah, bah, bah and nod our head at the same time, because you can see by the very construct that the nuances of the way in which our range works is so vast and differentiated that we don't take things in the same way, we don't. And we don't take them in the same way to come to the same conclusion. --- PAGE 168 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 158 The program wants everybody to have the same conclusion. This is the way the program works. It doesn't mean that you cannot find a commonality, a basis of union with the other. But only out of your unique authority, only out of your unique experiential perception and conceptualizing. Now, the program homogenizes us. It doesn't want us each to be saying to each other something different. Vertical Number One So we have vertical number one. And when we go to vertical number one—[written question—is there a difference between the chart and the positions listed? ] Excuse me, let me just check that. Oh, you’re right. Don’t pay attention to this chart; good eye. And what’s this? It isn’t going to make a difference because I'm just doing the construct, but anyway, I pulled the data from somebody else, from somewhere else. Sorry. Anyway, thank you for that. Foundation: Focus, Standard and Constraint In looking at this, first of all you have the foundation. So when you're thinking about the foundation you have to see the foundation in three different ways. Now this is the foundation for the experiencing. In other words, these three areas, whatever --- PAGE 169 --- LESSON TEN: Mind Mapping – The Vertical Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 159 they are, in this particular case and again don't pay attention to this chart, in this particular case it would be the 13, the 18 and the 40. These are the unique ways, or the nuance in that sense, in the way in which it is going to be expressed. It is experience. Focus: Moon The Moon is the focus. It’s always going to be the focus. So for example, if we take the configuration of the 13, here would be somebody whose focus is always going to have to do with the Fellowship of Man, in that sense. There is going to be a focus on the other. It is going to be a collective focus. In other words, this is really going to be the experiential theme. Now, it can get detailed, because again it's very important to see that this is where the Rave I’Ching is particularly valuable in terms of—after all, we do our analytical numbers through lines and gates, but here it's important to think about the gate as a whole because you get this larger thematic that is reflected in the foundation, in this case for example, the Moon, that the focus is going to be the: Universal ideas and values in an ordered framework which ensures humanistic cooperation. Now, what I'm reading is the introduction to the 13th gate. This is the focus for this mind. Now, one of the things that is really interesting to think about is that that focus isn't always the thing that is stimulating at any given moment. However, it is the focus. So when you're thinking about the foundation of this mind there are certain things that you’re going to begin to recognize about it. Standard: Venus The next thing to look at it is the standard. When we look at the standard, this is the Venusian box. And remember that the planets have different values depending on whether they're operating laterally, vertically or diagonally, which is also something to think about, but let’s sort of keep it simple. Let's think about the Venus. And again, I’m just going to use the data that's in the square. If you think about the Venus, the Venus is in the 18th gate. The 18th gate is about: The vigilance and determination to uphold and defend basic and fundamental human rights. So, this is going to be the mortal standard for this mind. It is going to be a mind that is vigilant, that’s determined, that it's a mind that experientially is going to notice when human rights are affected, when their rights are affected, whatever the case may be. And then of course, you add that with the focus, and you're beginning to see the foundation of this particular mind. You're beginning to see the core of that mind. You're not seeing what it needs to learn, we’ll get there. You’re not seeing what its outer authority themes become. We’re only looking at the foundation. But, by looking at that foundation and remember all of this detail serves the passenger, this introducing the passenger to itself, because the passenger will know this, will recognize this because this is part of its core experiential root. After all, this is where the profile, the Sun/Earth gets its stuff to be able to work with. --- PAGE 170 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 160 This is the experiential range. So we can see here that the standard—all you need to do, and it's not a difficult thing, so all of you are going to be able to do this, is to be able to go through and see just begin with—we will get to the lines in a minute—just begin with the overview. This is where the overview is very, very important. Now, one of the things we’re working on and this will not be in the program when it's released in January, because the Rave Psychology programming is 30% more work than the PHS programming and this is one of the aspects, as an example that is being programmed in. So these are the kinds of bits and pieces of information, that when you're going to go over here and you're going to click this box you're going to be able to get all the various information you need relative to what that is in terms of what the overview is, what the line is, what the color is, the basic keynotes necessary in order for you to give it a value. Constraint: Saturn So, we have the focus, we have what is the standard and then finally we have the constraint. Every mind is constrained; experientially we are constrained. There are limitations. The limitation here is the point of transition between struggle and liberation. One is constrained by that struggle. In other words, this is a mind that is going to be caught up in struggling with concepts. And you can see what is going to struggle with. It is going to struggle with the fact that the human rights situation, transpersonal or global, is not exactly something that is going to lead to that 13th gate focus and make it feel good. All of it gets tied together. You start stringing the keynotes together within the context that this is the foundation and you begin to map aspect one, the Alpha of the mind. For me it's just beautiful. I have no other words for that. Learning: Sidetrack, Misinformation and Truth Let's go to the Gamma: Learning. The passenger is a fantastic thing. The personality wants to know. The personality crystal is designed to filter the consciousness field. It is constantly digging in. The dilemma for the personality, the dilemma of the passenger is that it’s met nothing but ignorance. And because of the malaise of the not-self it never really has that opportunity. Its brain system is homogenized. It is a homogenized diet; it is homogenized through the way in which it operates in its life. But the passenger? I know because when I was in my mystical experience there was something within me that obviously was learning at a level that I still to this day do not understand. What my personality crystal took in in that experience is far beyond anything that I understand. It is the miracle of the personality crystal. The thing about it is that we have this potential here in the knowledge slowly but surely to get to the core information. It's not that any piece of information in and of itself liberates the passenger. It's like ripples in a pond, one after the other getting --- PAGE 171 --- LESSON TEN: Mind Mapping – The Vertical Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 161 stronger and stronger because they begin to multiply and accumulate and get larger. It’s a force. And ultimately that force leads to surrender. It does. It takes knowledge to free the passenger. It takes a technique to free the body: learning. Sidetrack: Uranus We have three different themes in the learning: the sidetrack, the misinformation, and the truth. Now sidetrack is interesting, because sidetrack is pulling you away. It's the thing that always gets your mind off in another direction and sometimes what people call out-of-the-box, and sometimes it's enormously valuable. The sidetrack here is the 63rd gate and in of itself that's a sidetrack. In the spiral of life all ends are beginnings. Well, this is a mind that at any given time can be sidetracked into the ends and beginnings game, trying to grasp that, trying to learn something about that—is there a beginning, is there an end, how does it work—all of that, whatever it is at any level. Misinformation: Neptune The misinformation is quite something. When you think about it, the way in which this program operates that we are designed to learn crap, and we are. No counterpoint without it. No ability to truly be able to grasp truth from lie without it. And it is here where the mind is so often fooled. Again remember we’re fooled in different ways. Not everybody is going to have the 49.1.3 there. We get fooled in different ways. Ideally, the transformation of forms based on the highest principles and not simply for power. And this is where they will be fooled, and they will, they will be misled. It’s range, range—it’s a great word—it covers a spectrum from the deep focus, the fundamental standards, all that stuff, to the misinformation on the other side. And remember that the standard in misinformation will come together in the lateral. Oh there is a lot here. When you think about Neptune and you think about misinformation it's so obvious with any understanding of Neptune, the veils. I have taught all along that wherever Neptune is in your design you cannot penetrate it in anyway. It's like being unconscious. It’s just not really there. You don't have any access to it. And we can look at that in terms of the grandeur of Neptune's arc around the Sun, that no human being is ever going to live a Neptunian cycle, except Methuselah, and I don't think he enjoyed in. That's a joke. Truth: Pluto Anyway, but Pluto being truth, is something that is very deep for me. It is clear for me that wherever Pluto is in your design that this is something that you must deal with, that you must deeply confront, that you do need to get to the truth of it, --- PAGE 172 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 162 whatever it may be. And of course, this is where the truth can be learnt. Now isn't that a remarkable thing? And when you think about it, with these nine different boxes there is only one that promises you truth. You can get your focus and your this and your that. But, this is truth. So where your Pluto is is always very, very, very interesting. Here we have Pluto in the 11th gate: A harmonic condition in the individual or a society that permits assessment before renewed action. This is the truth and they will have to discover this truth. And obviously it has its nuances. It's a 6th line; it is about adaptability, the inner balance to accept transition, that's where the truth is for them. This is what they have to learn. And this is what they will learn experientially through this particular aspect. For a very long time, going back to the very beginning of my work, I, in many ways, avoided paying a lot of attention to the planets. I didn’t want to feed into astrological habits of so many people who were meeting Design who had that background. I wanted them to be able to understand the synthesis and ultimately to be able to apply what was their knowledge from another system, to be able to apply aspects of it. I think it's only here that the real importance, beauty and value of the planets can be realized in this knowledge. They are, after all, imprinting agents. They are filters of the neutrino stream. And they define what our uniqueness is, after all. They are the ones that make our uniqueness possible. We are a result of their filtering system. And to begin to see their roles, that is, the roles within the holistic construct. Not that they just put on imprint on a particular position, but they bring with it a character, a nature, if you will, a power that is their own. That is, we are the solar system. We are more than that, but we are the solar system. The solar system is in our body. I learned that mystically, it really is, the solar system is in our body, we carry it within us. And we carry that ability to learn the truth within us, in the same way that we carry the ability to be misinformed within us. And they operate at different times. That's the great wonder. The fact is that this is not static in any way, shape or form because of color, because these aspects resonate to color frequency, which means that some will resonate while others don't. Some become a more prominent theme at any given moment than others. Some experiences are taking in a specific way as opposed to others because of the circumstances. It's quite something. Outer Authority: Communication, Mutation and Rules So we have the Alpha and the Gamma. We have the foundation, and we have the learning. We have what is the bedrock of the mind, its conceptualizing foundation. We have its potential to learn. And out of that comes a Tao. That is, out of that comes the possibility of outer authority. I don't think that there is in any way enough understanding yet about the significance of outer authority, because it's not to be confused with the mental blah, blah of the planet, what people say, what --- PAGE 173 --- LESSON TEN: Mind Mapping – The Vertical Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 163 people mean. Outer authority is intended to be the unique venue of the expression of a correct being. And what is so interesting about seeing outer authority in the magical square is what you really get to see, is that you get to see these three areas that this passenger is designed to be an authority in. This is where their true power to be an outer authority lies. Communication: Mercury It doesn't mean that they're not able to take advantage of all the things that are there. But it's about really grasping that when they are correct this becomes the true way for them to impact the other. It’s where their gift is as outer authority. And of course, when we're looking outer authority we are dealing with Mercury, Mars and Jupiter, and we will begin here with the Mercury, and obviously Mercury being the great planet of communication, that what we’re dealing with here is: The success of any interaction is based on the absence of any preconditions; an outer authority that has no preconditions. It's a unique kind of outer authority. And of course, there are so many other possibilities of what Mercury will be, what you're planet, line, and gate is in that particular square. And again, we’re not, obviously because there's an error here, we’re not integrating it into the bodygraph. There are so many different things that we can add up. I want you to have a sense of what we began with, which was a goal to be able to map the mind. Well, this is where we are. And the beauty of that is that every single one of those minds, they’re unique. There are these unique configurations of the way in which it operates. And of course that uniqueness means that when we deliver the information to the client there is going to be the deep, deep resonance at the passenger level. Not necessarily at the surface level right away, but at the passenger level it’s immediate, light bulbs going off. Obviously, there are all kinds of ways to go. There is a depth in any analytical process—44th gate, yes, but 1st line conditions: The establishment of a framework as a result of interaction; an outer authority that establishes a framework because of its connection to the other. So how important it's going to be for this person to have the right other, and all this stuff. And you begin to see that if they don't have that kind of connection to the other then they're not going to be able to express their outer authority properly. You begin to see the limitations of their ability to express outer authority or not. Rules: Jupiter I’m going to go to Jupiter; I’m going to leave Mars for last. Rules; oh, I do like Jupiter, Jovian as is. Outer authority is about expressing one's own inner law. In other words, not hypocrisy, but the expression of what one considers being true, in that sense, one’s rule. It is also about ruling. Outer authority is intended to have power over others. That’s what it's for. True outer authority has enormous power. And it has power, not because of anything sinister. It has power simply because it is --- PAGE 174 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 164 pure outer authority. In other words, it is not concocted; it is the true expression of a correct mind. The moment that you're expressing your outer authority, it doesn't matter to you whether it is received or not, recognized or not, grasped or not, enjoyed or not, whatever, because unlike what it's like to be not-self when everything that is your outer authority is something you're watching all the time because you're concerned about what's going to happen according to what you’re going to say, whether people respond or not, and all that stuff. That is not what outer authority is. Outer authority is simply the pure expression of a correct being; and no choice in that. So the rules, again, a harmonic condition in the individual. And again, we see a relationship to the truth. What this person needs to learn is also what their other authority as a rule needs to be. And of course, you can see right away that this person is very concerned about harmony. This is one of the things, remember, if you go back to their foundation, their foundation was very much concerned about the struggle for human rights and the fellowship of humanity and these are things that this mind is concerned about. Not every mind is going to be concerned that way. It just happens to be this particular configuration. Mutation: Mars And then we come to Mars. Of all the planets, if you go back to Babylonians, Persians, the Egyptians, and the Greeks, Mars has gone through many, many stages of the way in which it’s perceived. It obviously has a very violent history. It has a violent history because it happens to be red. It is the color of blood, and it is one of the few red objects that you can see with the naked eye in the sky. That redness to the primitive mind was something that was immediately equated with warfare, violence. It has been clear to me that the relatively modern way of understanding Mars, at least from my perspective, is to understand it as immature energy. That is, a force that needs cultivation. But here you can see that I have a very, very specific keynote. And this is clear to me because of the positioning of Mars. There is no question that the nine-centered being, that the way in which the nine-centered being operates in terms of its connectivity to the other, because after all lunar and planetary squares, whether design or personality, because they're about experiencing in the world they’re about the other, they’re about what it is to be on this plane, that it is clear that Mars is the mutative force that in fact in many ways embodies the deep mutative pressure that humanity is under. It is still immature energy, in that sense. But within this context, I think it brings something very, very exciting. That is, for me it represents where the transformational breakthrough can exist in the mind, that place where the mind can break, that place where the mind can snap, that place where the mind can redefine itself, if you will; in other words, a kind of mechanism. I know it on the physical side. On the physical side it is literally a mechanism. And it is embodied in the personality side in this positioning, the central positioning within --- PAGE 175 --- LESSON TEN: Mind Mapping – The Vertical Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 165 the square, and the power then that goes to Mars in this situation. Here is where the mutation can be. The mutation can be in: provoking analysis assessment and reevaluation. Here is where mutation can take place, only here. Now, we’re dealing with the 39th gate. And it's something to recognize about transformation. In other words, wherever we've looked we’re looking at set pieces—the Moon, Mercury— everybody else is set, it really is. But what happens within the mutation, well, it's different. Here it is possible for something different to happen. And again, for me this is the aspect experientially that opens up a human being to a transcendent mental experience. If you look at the 39, it becomes obvious, it would depend on the design, but if it's a hanging 39th gate, I guarantee you that every time that 39 meets a 55 there is a tremendous potential for transformation mentally, something, some mutation to take place. That mental mutation is the potential of what we call genius. It is the potential of sudden awareness. I don't want to make it so incredibly exalted that you just can't stop staring at it. But, I want you to have a sense of this. Outer Authority Is Mutative Remember, it’s in outer authority. Outer authority is there to express not the norm, not to express what is expected, because what is expected is the conditioned world. Outer authority, in and of itself is mutative. Look at my outer authority mutating you. This is what outer authority is intended to do. It's really something for us to begin to ponder, each and every one of us. It is a fascinating thing to go wandering through your design. I look at my personality and my Mars. I have my personality Mars in the 7th gate. I have it in the 6th line. That 7th gate says: The point of convergence. By design, the need for leadership to guide and order society. So, this is where mutation and transformation could take place in me. This was an area mentally for me. And the interesting thing is that it is 6th line, it’s about the administrator, the ability to share and justly apportion power. When I look at that, it is like, yeah, all right, you know. My whole idea about the nature of what it is to lead, after all, I'm a 3rd color personality so it is something that is very much a part of me. The way in which all that can work and the only way it can work was through mutation. It is interesting for me because my design Mars was actually where the Voice met me. I don’t know how to put that, my design Mars as in the 40th gate in the 2nd line, ready to be called, in that sense. And there is the mutation on the physical side; and again Martian. It is something that a whole new approach to understanding this mechanism that because we are mutative beings and because we are the first beings that are intended to operate with a binary consciousness—I loved that piece on the radio this morning that Lela and Dharmen did. Binary consciousness is what this is all about. Allow the design to do its job because it is conscious and it is intelligent and it knows precisely what to do. --- PAGE 176 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 166 And then allow the personality to do its job and nobody knows what that is because the expression of true outer authority is the destiny, if you will, of the passenger but not necessarily something they ever get to, because we have not been trained to be outer authorities. We been trained to lie, because we've been conditioned to be the not-self and the not-self always lies even when it thinks it's telling the truth. It’s always caught between being an inner and outer authority and there's always a bargain that's made and there's always a price that paid and the price is always truth. Outer authority is not about the need for what you say to bring you something, no matter what it is. It is simply correct for you to say what you say, and it is a pleasure to do so, this is outer authority. You communicate the framework of your mutation to the other, it’s what we're here to express. I don’t want to meet another clone. It's nice to meet unique beings who have something interesting to say, because they are in and of themselves interesting. Outer authority is the domain of the enlightened and there's never been any. It’s just like that. The Holistic Process This is the challenge. And again, you have to understand the way in which this holistic process works. Everything that you take in—you know there is a great thing in science that is the relationship between energy and matter, this fundamental duality. Every concept is concretized in flesh. And when I say flesh I just simply mean that in chemistry and whatever. We take it all in. When the passenger takes in information, it doesn't just sit there in some etheric environment. It is being processed by a bioform, processed. And in that processing, that information is stored in one way or another. And as it is stored, it is processed, it is digested. It's like what happens to you when you enter into the experiment of Design and you begin operating according to your Strategy and Authority. The real change in you is the direct physical impact of increasing the ability of your brain system to provide you with source cognition. And everyone who enters into this process suddenly has this sense of seeing things differently and understanding things differently. And most of that is just assumed to be their personality adventure, when in fact, the enriching process that you go through, the changes that begin to be evident in the way you begin to see things is taking place because your physical system is altering because of what it's taking in. Something to grasp about the personality is that when you're giving the personality the truth, it goes into the vehicle, and it resonates within it. There is only one way to wake up the passenger, you bear it, you show it everything that is pertinent to how it functions. I did a meditation, I don’t know when it was, I guess it was about five or six months ago when I was working with these graphs. I just studied my own mind. I’m a classic for that, because of course I have a totally unconscious Ajna system. I have both my Neptune’s in the 48th gate, so there is a great limitation for me about understanding the nature my own mental system. I'm not in there; I don't really know how it works. --- PAGE 177 --- LESSON TEN: Mind Mapping – The Vertical Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 167 I sat down with all of this and began to process my own design. Ah, what a trip. I mean what a trip. It was like; I don't know who to describe that. It was like little pieces of things clicking together, things that only became obvious to me in the moment that I could see it within that framework, because again, I don't have that conscious access. To see the way in which our minds are designed to operate at their very best, the perfection that is possible there. It is really something. And it impacts the passenger directly. It becomes a learned experience. And again, they will learn it through the way they learn, and you can see the way they’ll take it in. Not everybody is going to take in their unique information in the same way because we all take it in through what is whatever our learning track happens to be. It just is; the keys to the kingdom, as it were. We’re Deeply Limited Human beings—it’s really magical, this illusion. It is illusion. Don’t ever be mistaken about that. We are so deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply limited. I mean, we are a byproduct of the evolutionary program. If you don't think we’re limited, then you’re a fool. We’re deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply limited. We get to see what we get to see, what we are allowed, what we are allowed within the constraints of whatever our particular form happens to be. The thing that is so extraordinary about this knowledge is that in a moment it strips away all of that. The program, because it is not intelligent, doesn't have to be bowed down to. It's not going to get upset with you. It's not God. It’s not going to smack you in the head. It doesn't do that. It is in the fundamental calculation that is inherent in the mechanics of the program itself that anomalies must exist. It is a full spectrum, after all. Those that are so deeply absorbed in the program that they are nothing but the ultimate puppets on a string. Breaking the Covenant And those that give up the covenant, that see through the control mechanisms, find a way to operate outside of the program, it's a calculation. It isn’t going to change anything. Momentum's a funny thing. The big Mo; we’re on the way out the door. This is not about changing the world. It's about being available on the fractal in the geometry for all those other anomalies that have a shot at being able to live this process the way it was possible to be lived. The program didn't know; the program doesn't know the value of correctness. It isn't interested in correctness at all. This is the language of Human Design. That's what it is. What I understand about the nature of all things is that it's the fringes, the flaws, the mistakes, it’s out of that comes life, creativity, magic. To break from the program is pure magic, because it was given. It isn't something that we in our small abilities --- PAGE 178 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 168 could construct. And the lifting of the veil over what it is that we all deal with, this knowledge means that we are specifically given an opportunity, specifically. I don’t think that ever again will there be any thing like this, this humanness, this transition between mundane and divine. We are something quite spectacular, and we are a passing phase. And the very, very grandeur of what it is that we are is lost in the levels and layers of ignorance. We carry light. We do. We illuminate and allow people to see truth, the truth of their mechanism, the truth of what this life is, and the truth of what's possible. At the mundane level, Strategy and Authority is good for people. Well, let them enjoy it. But at the highest level, it's the first step on the road to a transcendent life, a life, quite frankly, that is graced by its lack of importance, the beauty of simply accepting the it-ness of it all, just the it-ness of it. We look too much for reason and purpose. It is just the it-ness that is so incredible. And when you can be there, open in that sense, not blinded by the demands of the program, but simply in the it- ness of it, well, there is no other place to be. And this is where everything, everything can be seen, and I mean everything can be seen. We are such a wondrous creature in such a sad, sad plane. And for me, Rave Psychology is ancient, ancient, ancient dreams come true. I can’t see that in any other way. Okay, that’s as far as we’ll go in our Rave Psychology journey this semester. Remember next week it is going to be holistic. But, we have a lot of work to do, as you can see, in terms of understanding beyond just the obvious of just basic keynotes to the vertical, the lateral, and the diagonals, to begin to have all the tools that we need in order to be able to truly lay out the map. The moment that you leave behind the not-self and you enter into the possibility of what mind is, wow, it's really something, and we can see it, we can map it. And in that way we can be of service to the passenger in a way that the passenger has never known. I think that's the way to go. Anyway, to all of you, it’s nice to share it with you. You take care. Until next time; bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 179 --- Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 169 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. --- PAGE 180 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED OR PROOFED 170 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. --- PAGE 181 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Holistic Analysis 5, CHD Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 171 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 --- PAGE 182 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED OR PROOFED 172 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 --- PAGE 183 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Holistic Analysis 5, CHD Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 173 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. --- PAGE 184 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED OR PROOFED 174 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 --- PAGE 185 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Holistic Analysis 5, CHD Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 175 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 --- PAGE 186 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED OR PROOFED 176 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. --- PAGE 187 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Holistic Analysis 5, CHD Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 177 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, --- PAGE 188 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED OR PROOFED 178 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. --- PAGE 189 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Holistic Analysis 5, CHD Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 179 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. --- PAGE 190 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED OR PROOFED 180 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 --- PAGE 191 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Holistic Analysis 5, CHD Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED 181 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. [Written comment from Randy: failed experiments .... mutations .... autism as an example] Ra: Failed experiments? Yes, exactly, exactly, exactly. --- PAGE 192 --- RAVE PSCHOLOGY: YEAR 3, SEMESTER 1: Rave Psychologist Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2006 Jovian Archive Corporation FIRST DRAFT. THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN EDITED OR PROOFED 182 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. ~ The End of Year 3, Semester 1 ~
