THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED vii The IHDS Rave Psychology Program Year 3: Rave Psychologist Certification The Human Design System has brought a new level of understanding to the mundane Personality. What Human Design reveals is the surface mechanism of the Personality in conflict with its Design and guided by the Not-Self. The surface process is resolved through experimentation with Strategy and Authority.

THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 1 Lesson One The Inner & Outer Authority Minds Welcome back to all of you and to those of you that are downloading. We've had quite a journey together, a journey that can be nothing more than a theoretical laying out of the mechanics that you need to grasp and need to understand in order to be able to work as a Rave Psychologists and to be able to provide somebody who has entered into the experiment of living their design, to provide them with a pathway to the most difficult thing of all to accomplish as a unique being. That is, the transformation of the way in which the entire mental system operates. The Duality of the Not-Self and the True Self We have a basic construct that we have to deal with in everything that we in terms of the nature of being; that is, we deal with the nature of duality. And the duality of what it is to be us, that is, holistically speaking, is a duality that we have quaintly named not-self and true self. It's kind of a joke in a way because not-self and true self is just tools, language tools, keynote tools, to be able to hone the way in which you look at things. The reality, as we all well know, is that the not-self is not something that ever disappears. It cannot disappear. This is a mechanical thing, after all. When I first began my teaching about the nature of the not-self in order for the horror of it, I guess, to be dealt with, is the recognition that on the other side of that horror is what quaintly can be described as wisdom. That is, the real learning in life is one of the ways in which one can really come to grips with what the not-self is. And because it's where we learn, if we are not correct obviously we're going to have all kinds of problems in these areas because were not equipped to deal with it because it is not us. And because it is not us it becomes the thing that becomes the most attractive to us, and of course all the story that you well know, that out of this develops a thematic way in which the individual is going to make decisions, is going to make decisions as an inner authority, the mental inner decision, the mind going --- PAGE 10 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 through its process, whatever its process happens to be and coming to a conclusion, and in coming to that conclusion then acting upon that. Now, this is the not-self life. And one of the things that we get to see when we begin to examine the not-self in depth is what we're really looking at is patterns in the way in which the mind deals with prioritization. Think about the way the not-self works because it’s really not a self, let’s be clear about that. The way in which it works is that it just says, look, I don't care what kind of a thinker you are. I don't care what your perspective is. I don't care what your particular stimuli at any given moment happens to be. No matter what conclusions you come to over here, here are the priorities. The priority is, don't tell me something that I’m going to have to leave because I want to hold onto it. So don't tell me that. Okay, so let's eliminate that part; don't tell me that. This is the priority—do not tell me that. Do not tell me things that make me nervous and uncertain. Do not do that. Keep on confirming what I already think I think I know, thank you very much. In other words, what happens is that it's not so much that there is a whole different mechanism at work, the so-called not-self, there isn’t. It’s us, after all. This is the mask over what is the underlying potential, and it blocks that potential. It blocks that potential by creating agendas. This is what is so uncomfortable about openness, is that the openness creates all kinds of mental decision making agendas, priorities, and it doesn't matter what is coming through, because we already see that. We see that in our own lives, we see that in the lives of others. But what we do not get to see is what the real potential is of the so-called true self; in other words, the mind that is no longer caught in the agenda, the mind that no longer is ruled by the priority because the priority is based on mind making inner authority decisions. That's the moment when the openness has a true potential to be wisdom. And that's the moment that no longer does it become a priority as to the way in which the passenger can actually view and expressed experience. Liberating the Passenger Our job is to understand the deep, deep complexities of mind. And not to understand it so that we are able to construct it mechanically, because in fact that's the way we get to where we have to go, that what it's about is it’s about liberating the passenger. It’s the most difficult task. There is nothing more difficult. And what is so frustrating is that everything necessary is there. Whatever that unique personality is, its particular style, it's the there. The view that is essential for it, the foundation upon which the mind will develop its conceptualization, the perspective in life, it’s there. And all of the gifts of the unique mind, all of the different ways in which it looks at and takes in experience, the way in which this configuration like a spiral always operating in different ways taking in different experiences in different ways and feeding it through the system, it’s all there. It's just a matter of getting rid of this. Some of it is just mechanical, some of it. It begins with the mechanical, after all. One of the things to understand about us is to --- PAGE 11 --- LESSON ONE: The Inner & Outer Authority 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 PROOFED 3 understand that we are all rooted in what is the independent variable that we are operating correctly. And that means that the surface of operating correctly to begin with that we’re operating according to strategy and authority. Think about the Center for Human Differentiation. The criterion for being somebody who enters into that center for services that the criterion is that they are operating in their experiment. In other words, they are following their strategy and authority. Without that, there is no place to even begin. So first it's mechanical. The mechanical is going to set it up so that through the brain system and its orientation that the vehicle is going to begin to operate correctly in terms of its movement in space. That means that it immediately is going to aligning itself so that it has the right to view or it has the right perspective. The foundation is set then for the emergence of the true differentiated passenger. And this is what our challenge is all about, and it is a challenge for each and every one of us. It’s always there. Who is driving, who's driving your car? This is where it all begins. The second level that is mechanical is the way in which this information is imparted to the other. And here we enter into something that is so very different of the way in which traditional or classic Human Design analysis is practiced. Remember that though many of you may be Human Design analysts, it really has nothing to do with being a Human Design psychologist. It doesn't. It doesn't in the sense that this is not about opening up the experiment to somebody, opening up the possibility of grasping the value of the experiment with somebody. No, this is about acting as a guide in the ongoing process of bringing them to a place where they can begin to operate on the mental plane in a way that is in a proper balance to what is happening to them on the physical plane. Human Design changes human beings physically first. After all, that is what it is doing. And of course, the mind which is in a very difficult situation at the beginning of that experiment and many of you know that throughout the seven years of the initial deconditioning process the mind is always ready to step in. It is always showing its concerns; it is always trying to remind you about this or that, to be this or that, do this or that, get this or that. This is mind, after all. It is one of the things that makes it so difficult that it is not something that in the classical sense of Human Design analysis can be imparted in a 15, 30, 45 minute, one hour session. It doesn't work that way. The Design Crystal Does Not Need to Learn The mechanical aspect at this level is that this is a quasi-education program. What I mean by that, I've been trying to give you the sense of the pure nature of the personality crystal. That is, its inherent capacity to filter. This is what it is all about. And if I play with that or deconstruct that, what you get is a language of learning. The one thing that the personality crystal is about more than anything else, the design crystal is not into learning. Please understand that. It doesn't have to learn. --- PAGE 12 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 It simply has to filter through its construct in order to deliver the vehicle. But the personality is different. It's really different. It's an open book in a way. And one of the things to grasp about this personality is that because it needs to, wants to, and has to learn that the most difficult thing for it is not being given the truth. Because when I speak of the passenger I'm speaking of the pure essence of personality, not the construct that grows out of somebody's life in terms of the way in which they're not-self mind operates. The Passenger Wants to Learn Let’s think about this passenger for a moment. It only wants to learn. But what it needs to learn more than anything else is that it needs to learn what its actual limitation is. And what I mean by that is the construct within which it displays its self-reflected consciousness. It’s an essential task. One of the things that we will look at, not this semester, but next semester, is that I will give you a program of working with a client, how you take them step-by-step through their unique mental design. Color Transference Now, it works in stages. That is, it begins obviously with dealing with the not-self, this is the first step. Somebody that is coming to you for the first time, there is a very important thing to remember, what I taught you in the first year, that is, color transference. I don't mention it enough to you. I really don't. It’s something that should really be deeply ingrained. One of the things about color transference is that when somebody comes to you and they come into the clinic and they want to work with you and they want to go through this process, basically you have a testing period with them. And the way in which that testing period operates is that you give them the color transference reading. That is, you explain to them what color transference is and the way it works at the personality level and how they can recognize it at the personality level, and then you send them on their way. What you will discover out of that is maybe one in three is capable of noticing, really, you'll see that. I mean remember that for most of you, I introduced this to most of you when you were well into your careers in the knowledge. But I want you to understand when you give color transference to somebody who is just experimenting with their design this is an enormous task for them. And any of those that really get it very quickly, these are going to be the ones that really have the greatest opportunity to go all the way in that process. And as I said, I don't mention this enough because it is something that is really very important. This is a mental mechanical training thing. Please understand that. It is a technique for beginning to get the mind away from its typical mundane perspective. A mind that begins to catch transference is a mind that gets overwhelmed by the surprise of that, they begin to get it. They begin to get the first --- PAGE 13 --- LESSON ONE: The Inner & Outer Authority 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 PROOFED 5 levels of what deep mental conditioning is all about. After all, mental transference strips you of your cognition. It literally makes you dumb. It simply gives you whatever the lack of cognition color frame is going to give you. And of course, you cannot operate correctly in that. You cannot. Nobody Is Designed to be Mentally Disturbed That person that comes needs to begin to train their mind. And while they are working on this training of their mind by paying attention to transference you can begin the educational process. In other words, you can begin the deep process of cleaning out the not-self. There is nothing wrong with their whole mental system, even if they appear to be mentally disturbed. I want you all to grasp this, that nobody is designed to be mentally disturbed. This is what happens out of the openness. And when I say mentally disturbed, that can operate at any level you want to imagine, the various phobias and problems, this and that, and all kinds of stuff, because in fact this is all correct. Absolutely 100% perfect, if it is allowed to operate correctly. Again, all the mechanisms are there. The dilemma is that what the not-self, what ignorance, whatever we want to call it, what the not-self brings is priorities that distort all of this. So, our first task in working with somebody is first to give them a physical mechanical thing to do. Look for transference, pay attention for transference and then to begin this process of dealing with what these priorities have meant to this being, how they have distorted their gift, their fundamental gift, whatever it may be. There is all this stuff here. This is the foundation of the outer authority of this personality. And it is like any potential outer authority, an extraordinary unique package. Chart of John Nash So let's take a look for a moment [next page]. This is the same chart broken down; this is a very famous mathematician, John Nash. They made a movie of him with Russell Crowe, A Beautiful Mind. I take this as an example because obviously it is interesting to think about the nature of mind and in looking at the nature of mind understanding or beginning to understand what the fundamental gifts are. After all, this was a deeply gifted mind, but at the same time, this was somebody that on the mental plane was very disturbed. That is, the way in which operated in the real world was something that was very distorted. Despite the values that were inherited here, the reality was that this, the priority making, was the way in which the decision making process was going to take place. And understand something about somebody who has a prioritization like this is that the very power of what is there in them, this deeply, deeply powerful emotional manifesting Generator, unconscious 35/36, all of this stuff, all of this is being controlled by the priorities. This is where the healing begins; this is where everybody's healing begins. --- PAGE 14 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 Remember something about the depth that we've gone to. Don't get so deep that you can't go back to the surface and see what's really there. With all of your depth now you need to be able to come back up to the surface and you look at an open center and you go, oh my God; because that's really what it is, it's oh my God, what a thing. Because it’s not simply just a matter that it has a particular not-self strategy mechanic and the various things that we talk about in terms of it, but understanding that every single thought, every single processing of thought, that the way in which one's perspective, the way in which one takes in information, that everything is going through this censoring system. And that's what it is, a censoring system. And because the openness is not something that you can ever possess, that all you ever want to do is act on it. Think about your client. There they are, you've been there, and they just entered into the process. They’re experimenting with their strategy and authority, they're finding it interesting. They would like to wake up. There are people on this planet who would like to wake up; but, before they can get anywhere near that, all that stuff has to be revealed. It has to be revealed so that the mind itself, the passenger behind that gets to see the joke, gets to see being framed by a construct, gets to understand that the construct has been something that has damaged its own potential. --- PAGE 15 --- LESSON ONE: The Inner & Outer Authority 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 PROOFED 7 Rave Properties One of the most extraordinary thing about a AI and it really is extraordinary is the rave properties, because after 21 years of work in Human Design I finally have a mapping that lays out the complete parameters that is the fundamental infrastructure of what it is to be a human being. So these properties in and of themselves really represent a foundation, a deep, deep, deep foundation before being able to understand not simply the vehicle and the personality, but life, in a sense. Anyway, I wax, so here we go. I want to get away from the obvious for a moment. By the way, and all of you should really notice this that the holistic properties as they're presented in AI they always begin with the variable. That is, they always begin with what is the cognitive awareness family or what the awareness potential is of the being. When we look at the introductory level we’re seeing the basics that we are used to in terms of classical Design interpretation. It obviously gets different when we enter into the design side. But I want to limit our focus today, because this is a general introduction to our work this term. I want to focus here on what is the basic personality information and the way in which the personality information is laid out in terms of the properties. When we're looking here, what we are looking at is that this is the generic way in which this particular being finds its uniqueness. In other words, each is a category and that category is a general category that then hones down to what is their unique specific, in terms of all of their design how all that is laid out. What we don't get to see is this operating correctly in the world. We don't. And it’s something that’s really interesting in the sense that this is where the difference is going to be made. So first of all let's get rid of a couple of things. Let's first of all just get rid of the strategy. Obviously, that is something that is taken in at the personality level and we know that the strategy is in this particular case obviously to respond. You can see the inner authority is listed up here, so forth and so on. So let's take just this inner box in here, because again I want to lead you to what is the basic quality that is there in this being that is being distorted by the not-self. Personality Base Orientation: Focused So the first thing is that we have a personality base orientation that is focused. And what that means is that we have a personality that really is aligned in a very, very specific way. It has a very, very specific orientation. That's going to mean that its relationship to its external is going to be very important. It’s very difficult to be focused if one is in a haphazard kind of shifting environment that isn't correct for one. --- PAGE 16 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 View: Personal And in fact, in looking at this personality orientation, that is, this focused orientation, to couple this with the node and to be able to see that the view that here is this being with its personal focused view. It's very personal. They see things, they are intended to see things, and in this sense be focused on seeing things, and be focused on seeing things within their own unique context. In other words, they look at things always relative to themselves. This is the way the personal view works. And what we know about this focused personal view of this particular passenger is that the key for this passenger, the key for every passenger is: is the motivation right. Because if the motivation is right then the cognition is there, and if the motivation is not right then all we get is fear. The fear robs us of our cognition. It distorts our motivation and changes the way in which the focused personal view gets grasped by mind. And at the moment that it is in transference that is the moment that the priorities of the not-self reemerge and distort the distortion that is already at work. When I look at these mechanics I find it frightening, I must say. And I don't mean to be dramatic. It's just that I think about the enormous potential that is lost, in that sense. The example of this particular being that operated as not-self, the --- PAGE 17 --- LESSON ONE: The Inner & Outer Authority 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 PROOFED 9 transference is to fear and this enormous fear operating inside of this being and an enormous fear of failure. After all, this is somebody in their first Saturn cycle obviously was dealing with a 3rd line influence on its personality. It is something really to understand how whatever the gifts happened to be, and of course, in this particular case I’m not taking you to the next level, we’ll look at that a bit in a moment. That is, into the nuances of what kind of gift is there in him, the gift that we look for, by the way, that I keep referring to, is what we get to see in the lunar and planetary square. That is where we get to see all of the unique qualities that feed the mental system, that is, that the mental system through the set view and through the set view to the way in which the style is established by the internal. Obviously, the moment that the motivation is not correct is the moment that we have this enormous diminishing of the potential of any human being at the awareness level. It’s gone. It’s why one of the most important things to remember, it's why again I go back to your first year training, being able to deal with, work with, recognize personality color transference is one of the most important steps that anybody will ever take in awakening their consciousness and awakening the passenger to the possibility of the passenger. We cannot have a personality in transference be anything more than a victim of not-self priorities. Eliminating the Transference But the moment that we eliminate the transference, then what we have is this personal focused consciousness that is focused on what is necessary and only on what is necessary. And it is rooted in the deep potential of their cognition; in other words, the deep potential for them to be able to suss it out, in that sense. Everything about being able to awaken the passenger begins with the passenger accepting the folly of what their mental life has been. It starts there. I love jokes. If one cannot laugh at oneself, then you have a problem, you really do. Whenever I look at my design I come close to giggling because I find it amusing. We are choiceless within our mechanisms. Long ago in my process I had many a good laugh and a few tears over the folly of the way in which my mind worked when it was nothing but not-self, when it was simply operating out of the mechanisms of my open centers. It's only when you can confront that and I'm not saying only to you I'm saying that in the context of you being the one who has to force the other to confront that. Yes, they'll get their reading and yes they might have a Living Design and they are involved in their process, but again, they have to be able to integrate that deeply at the mental level to understand how their mind has been distorted throughout their life through that not-self priorities that are established in their openness. And obviously, there are other complexities to it that we have looked at. This is somebody that is a split definition and we well know that the possible connections between the split are going to be something that are going to be enormously --- PAGE 18 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 powerful in terms of the way in which this person operates. I think the 15, the 46, and 59 are the three bridging gates that would bring the split together. So, again we go into what the not-self brings. The not-self brings that distortion. And that distortion is looking for the extreme, is looking for the success, is looking for the intimacy, and is looking for all of that within the context of its priorities. And all that distorts whatever the true potential is that is lying there underneath. After all, it is something to understand that though all of this is there for each and every one of us, the fact is that the way in which it comes out, this is conditioned by what our frequency is. The more conditioned we are, the more homogenized we are, the further away we are from taking full advantage of our own awareness potential, what gets locked away in all of this data that gets pushed aside because of the openness or the lusting after of open gates. No Quick Fix There's no quick fix for the passenger. I think you all know that as well. There is a journey of going deeper and deeper and deeper. Something else to recognize is that I don't know how well non-sacral beings are going to be at this level of work or whether or not it will have to work differently for them. And the reason that I say that is that it is truly only the Generator that is designed to know themselves. They are the ones that ultimately—it's part and parcel of the things I've said about Generators from the beginning that they are really the chosen ones. There's no question about that for me. They are so close to perfect and so far way from it at exactly the same time. The Generator is there to take in information at the deepest, deepest level relative to themselves. Obviously, that’s quite different in terms of the other types and particularly significant in terms of the projector. After all, this world is a projector/Generator world. For the projector with their specific interest in the other, it's why one of the things that's so important about this particular way in which we are going to work with clients, that is, the educational part of our work introducing for them a personal guide to each and every one of the aspects of their nature is that that is both beneficial to the Generator in the sense of knowing itself and it's also beneficial for the projector in the sense of they can take it in as information that they can use in terms of the other, if you know what I mean, but still be able to have the advantage of taking it. Again, the great power projectors is that once they recognize the impact of something in the other that they happen to share that's when they have a full grasp of what it means for them. So ultimately, there are nuances obviously because we are different and we have different kinds of vehicles and we have different kinds of ways in which we come to inner decision choices that obviously we're going to see there's going to be nuances in the way in which we deal with others. As an example, manifestors on the whole there is a very, very small percentage of them that are ready for this kind of process anyway. It's not like I'm going to be worried about --- PAGE 19 --- LESSON ONE: The Inner & Outer Authority 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 PROOFED 11 them, because I don’t think that's going to any good. For Generators and projectors, they have the easiest path, if I can put it that way. Necessary Discipline But again, like all of these things in the rigidity of the discipline necessary, how deep the discipline has to be in your process to be able to fulfill all this, after all. It's quite something. That is, you need to be somebody who naturally is going to be interested in the revelation of the mechanics. Not everybody is. Again, we’re always dealing with a certain percentage of beings that on the fractal lines those beings are ready, in that sense. It’s simply important for us not to have an expectation about where we finally can take our clients, but simply the tools to take them as far as they can go, because it's an extraordinary journey, and obviously it takes certain kinds. It’s like not everybody is going to invest their time and their resources and their intellectual capacity to be in a program like this for three years, you know that. The same thing is true for those that out of the fractal line of each of you what you'll gather proportionately will be a limitation on those that you can really work with and important to understand that because these are going to be extended processes that will take in many cases months if not years of working with people that obviously relationships are going to be established, bonds are going to be made and all of that has to be correct. I don't mean to lay that out as a negative, because I do not see it that way. Just so that you understand the way in which your appreciation of who thinks they're ready—do you know what I mean? Just for somebody to be there and to think they're ready is a place where you can really start with them. The Requirement of an Investment To be very practical and very mundane, but I think it's very important that anybody who is going to go through this process is going to have to have the resources to pay for it. It’s a funny thing about money. And this is a necessary digression. First of all, all of you know the investment that you've made in this program, it's considerable. It is very important for you to realize how special this information is, truly how special it is. I hope you can see that in the sense of the investment that I’ve made in creating, like MMAI, the tools at this level and all of the things that go with it. For me this is information that not only is of enormous value, but it's the future of healing for nine-centered beings. I think that one of the things that is an obvious about the way in which all of this works is that you have to have the good fortune, in that sense, all of us have been very fortunate to have the time and the resources to be involved in such a thing. And you have to see that it is always going to be that way in terms of who's on your fractal line, those who have the time and the resources because these are long involved and very complex human processes. --- PAGE 20 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 For me, one of the things that I see in this aside from the surface virtual things that can be offered that this is aura-to-aura work and very important that it's understood in that way. And these relationships are relationships in which the depth and the level of your knowledge and your ability to be of service to the other is something that is going to have to be compensated because it is going to take many, many sessions to go through the process. Now for me there's no set number. I think there are minimums. For me the process can never be shorter than three or four months, and there's no time on it. I want you to understand that we will be dealing with very different people as we're dealing with people that are experimenting with their designs. There are advantages in the work with them. But I do want you to grasp that this is something of great value and it is absolutely essential that you demand of others that they invest in themselves. I am somebody that when it is clear to me that it is time to be generous, I am generous, and it is the way I've always been. And there have always been students who have been given certain advantages by me because I see that it's necessary, but it is not a rule. It is about authority, my own authority in that case as a teacher. It isn't to say that there aren't those who will not have the resources who are not worthy and they certainly should not be put aside, that’s not my point. But my point is to understand that this requires an investment. It really does. And without that investment there aren’t going to be the levels of results necessary. There are a lot of people over all the years that I've been doing my work that have complained about the prices of this or that or the other thing. And it is something that has been clear to me from the very beginning that everything about this knowledge is precious. It's clear to me. What is it worth? What is it worth to have your life, what is it worth to understand in this way, what is it worth; can you put a price on that? You can't put a price on that. And it takes a great deal of work and dedication to get to a point where you can provide that for somebody else. And I learned right at the beginning of my career, when I first started I gave away readings. Everybody would say is interesting. Then I charged a few bucks, and again it was sort of like tea money, you don’t have to pay attention. When I started to get really expensive, wow did people pay attention. They figured they were paying for something, and there must be something to it. And there is after all. You're being trained as professionals. It is my vision and it is one that I am certain of that anybody that is either a PHS practitioner or a Rave Psychologist can make their living and a good living just in their discipline. We All Have Extraordinary Gifts Anyway, a monetary digression; I just wanted to have a little peek, just taking a look at the gifts that are there. We have all of these extraordinary gifts, they’re extraordinary gifts. It is really is quite something. And each of us has these unique packages, this focus here, that 42nd gate; that focus, that specific quality that is available to this mental system. Each and every one of these aspects literally --- PAGE 21 --- LESSON ONE: The Inner & Outer Authority 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 PROOFED 13 establishes the potential, the gifts of this unique mind. And the way in which in this unique mind provides information and provides information for its organizing system, the organizing system of the perspective that leads to the specific style. It is our journey to take somebody from the horror of the not-self, to take them out of all of that and to bring them to a place where they can as outer authority express these unique gifts. It's what we're missing; truly it’s what this plane misses the most. Why do you think you find me interesting? It’s what we miss. We miss this unique outer authority. It is just a unique outer authority, no comparison to anything else; you take it or leave it. But it's interesting. And this for us is where ultimately the deepest bond that exists between those of us who are involved in this knowledge is what we can tell each other. We have a chance to be interesting for each other. That's an enormous accomplishment. When you think about the world we live in and the chitchat of the world that we live in and the things that pass for communication on this plane and all the bullish that layers all of that. What's special about us is that there is a possibility that each and every one of us can make a unique contribution to the consciousness field. It's only in that way that our grasp of anything will grow. It’s the way in which we fill out the map, the whole story. And it is so clear because the moment that you look deeper and deeper and deeper into the way in which we been constructed or evolved within the program itself is that we have very, very specific areas in which we are intended to specialize as unique forms. That specialization that takes us into unique environments to bond with other unique beings to be able to look at the world in exactly the correct way and to be able to thrive on the stimulation that we receive from the resources that we build up through the lunar and planetary square. No Limit to What Is Possible When I did my juxtaposition lectures, one of the deepest areas of a fascination for me at this point in my life is that I understand that without purpose or intent or reason behind existence, that existence is not something that any longer has any kind of true limitation. There is potential in us that we don't know anything about, have never even been given a glimpse of, not even a glimpse. There is an assumption that we are locked into a fixed possibility, what it is to be in terms of the way the not-self and the homogenized world looks at things, what it means to be a human being and what the capacities are of that homogenized human being, we are not that. When we think of the mind we are still saturated with seven-centered stuff. And the whole understanding of mind in the homogenized world, the capacity of what it even is all belongs to a long dead species. It has nothing to do with us. I have in my own process begun to experience that. And I have no language for it. It’s sort of like the Jovian logos; it’s like putting your head through the sky. What I thought the limitation of mind was doesn't exist. There is no limit to what is possible; I tell you --- PAGE 22 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 literally, there is no limit to what is possible. None. It's simply a matter of realizing your uniqueness. There is no comparison to anything else, no boundary, no rules. What one is capable of experiencing, what one is capable of recognizing, what one is capable of sharing as conceptualization with the other, there is no limit to it. This is the magic. It’s not a set plan. It wasn't like there was somebody standing there saying okay, this is what they’re going to be like. They’re going to be able to do this, they’re going to be able to do that, no, no, no, it’s not like that. Only we can discover what we are. Nobody's ever seen it. Nobody's ever seen what the nine-centered potential is all about. This is what is possible, this is what is emerging. We are a new species. Oh, we may be transitory. We are a transitional form, but were not like the old one. And we’re not constrained by the same limitations as the old one. The vehicle isn't the limitation. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a projector, it doesn’t matter what you are. It's not about that. We’re talking about the potential of the passenger, the potential of a passenger that finally gets it that they are a passenger. Oh, I tell you we don't know what that is. Everything we understand about mind is the mind that has been burdened with the strategic formulas for staying alive. We don't know the transcendent mind; we do not, because there is no generic. There is no collective of it. There is no possible description because it only emerges in each of us uniquely in our own perfection. And nobody knows how far that can go. I think of those that are right. Obviously those that are right are the vanguard of the future. They're carrying with them underlying sensory potential that has yet to emerge on this plane. What the cognitive possibilities are out of that kind of sensory potential, it’s beyond science fiction, it's clear to me. The Passenger Is Not Limited by the Vehicle The passenger is not limited by the vehicle. It rides within it. But the passenger is connected to the totality through its nature and through the neutrino stream. It is able to leave behind the burden of the vehicle. And I'm not talking about out-of- body experiences; I'm talking about out-of-mind experiences. This is what I'm experiencing now. This is part of my process. There is no other way to describe that: out-of-mind experiences. The passenger is not what we've always thought it was in the sense of, not the mind that we know, but the possibility of mind that lurks there in all of us. And the plan in terms of the way in which we approach that is clear. We work with techniques, we work with education. There is nothing else we can do. All we’re acting as is inspiration for the possibility of the other to grasp it, to take it, and to run with it. This is the journey and the journey is to break out of the mold, to break away from, oh, I’m Ra and I’ve got to worry about what I eat; to break out of all that. --- PAGE 23 --- LESSON ONE: The Inner & Outer Authority 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 PROOFED 15 For me, in a sense, I look at Rave Psychologists as 21st century shaman. And I mean that in the sense of being mystical educators, if I can put it that way, magical educators, because it really is what it is. And to follow whatever path a shaman offers you, this is quite a process. And you never know if they get there, you can't know if they get there. But it's our job to provide them with the possibility, because the possibility exists. It's there. It exists. I experience it. I recognize it and I have no idea where it's going. I really don't. I've just started my fourth seven-year cycle, so, we'll see. Anyway it’s a delight to be back here in Rave Psychology, and to be with all of you again. And until next time; you all take care. Bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 24 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 17 Lesson Two Preparation Analysis Welcome to all of you and to those of you that are downloading. As I did in yesterday in PHS let me just sort of just introduce this to you. There was a lot of concern amongst students both in this program and in PHS in regards to their projects and in regards to being prepared for the testing that's a part of this program. And obviously, there was a real demand for materials from the first semester, which is probably the most detailed semester ever taught, or I'll ever teach. We are very fortunate, Paddy Balentine, who unfortunately can't be in these classes anymore because I’ve overloaded her with transcription work, Paddy's been doing an incredible job now, this is her third year of producing transcriptions of all the things that I’ve been teaching and we have tremendous material. And thanks to Becky and to Jagruti who have been working at assembling these transcriptions, they were enormously helpful in working very quickly to organize the first semester transcriptions for PHS, for Rave Psychology, for History of Geometry and Lunar & Planetary color Analysis, and these transcriptions which are assembled sort of edited, let me put it that way, they're not finished products by any stretch of the imagination, but everything that you need is there. Where you find them is when you go to the IHDS, the tab, and you open that up normally going to your IHDS classes, you'll also see that there's a place there that says Jovian Digital Books. Basically what this is that the manuscript has been put through a special kind of program. These transcriptions, basically you can go to any lesson, as you can see sort of illustrated here, you can go to any topic and you go to any breakdown of that topic and you click and you're there. And as a number of people who were mentioning before the class how much they enjoy this and appreciate it, I --- PAGE 26 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 18 think you'll find that it is a terrific product. It’s inexpensive. It's $20 for permanent access. It cannot be printed. We have made arrangements so that when the whole process is over, because after all, we still have not completed the third year, when this is over and however long it takes, I assume it will take up to a year after that, to have an assembled final version of all of the material for Primary Health System student and all the material for Rave Psychology students, these will both be available as digital books relative to where they are, as example, so if you’re in the first semester of the first year you can only gain access to that material. And at the same time in the English version of this will be published in a hard copy version by Human Design America. Obviously, ultimately there will be translations and translated versions. So, what I want you to know is that these are available and you can access them so that you can have the background or backup material for the research of the work you're doing. By the way, if you're not in the third year program, referencing anybody else, who goes there it’s not possible to purchase it. So, one of the things about the Jovian Digital Books is that it's really geared to students and geared to supplying students with basic and essential material as they need it. It’s a tremendous piece of work. And again, I want to thank everybody that was involved. And also Asi, who did a great job in programming all of this. As you'll see, if you check it out, you'll find that it's a great resource. And of course, these transcriptions that are online now as digital books they eventually will be upgraded in the sense that the finished versions that of the book that will be available both digitally and hard copy, obviously the updated version. So, for example if you purchase this semester's version when it is upgraded you will have at that point the upgraded version. The Chart of John Nash We’re continuing our story of last week and that is I'm using the example of John Nash. For those of you that are not familiar with it or those of you that didn't see Beautiful Mind, he was somebody that suffered from schizophrenia. There are many, many different schools of thought about the nature of what schizophrenia is, but one of the things that is certainly clear is that it is an impairment in perception. And I want you to keep that in mind as we end up going through the material today. --- PAGE 27 --- LESSON TWO: Preparation Analysis 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 19 The titling of this class, Preparation Analysis, the services of a Rave Psychologist in regards to the way in which it's going to operate through Jovian, that is, the Center for Human Differentiation, anybody coming into that center who is somebody that is experimenting with their strategy and authority, that if they want to make an appointment with a Rave Psychologists, if they're interested in what Rave Psychology can offer them that the first thing that they have to do is in making that appointment or a request for an appointment, a request for a meeting, is that they have to provide their data. And in providing their data, this is what I am referring to in talking about preparation analysis. In other words, your preparation in terms of being able to see what you're going to be dealing with. Now, I spent quite a bit of time yesterday in PHS talking about bedside manner, talking about the approach, talk about understanding how you really need to have a sense of the other, and you need to treat them according to their nature. However, I don't want to get into this in this class. What I'm really interested in here is beginning this process of looking at the way in which the holistic being, how the holistic being is made up in terms of what is their real not-self mental state. How does it work? And how does it work relative to what we can see in the properties? --- PAGE 28 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 The Inherent Circuitry So, let's go in for a closer view for a moment and just look at some basic things. The first thing that we’re always dealing with when we're looking at an bodygraph is that we are looking at the inherent circuitry in the bodygraph, because the inherent circuitry in the bodygraph is always going to point us at what we need to see always. The moment that you follow the way in which energy flows in this blueprint is the moment that you're always going to be able to get to the place that you need to get to understand where the core dilemma can be. And because we are dealing with, within this construct, what we call Human Design, that we are dealing with the fact that we have different ways in which so-called definition operates, that it is very clear to us that the moment that we see that somebody is a split definition is the moment we understand that there are points here that are going to be deep, deep conditioning points. And in the case here we're going to see that we’re dealing with somebody with many, many, many conditioning points. Split Definition Let’s take an example. What do we know about split definition? What we know about split definition is despite the fact that we are going to have conditioning elements that are going to be present in the open centers, the not-self strategies, that these not-self strategies in and of themselves are not going to be the dominant theme. They’re not going to be the dominant theme because we're dealing with a split definition. And in dealing with the split definition we know that the themes are going to be rooted in what the possible bridging gates are going to be. And you can see that in terms of bridging gates that there is a load of them. There really is. We’re looking at six different ways that a single definition is going to be able to bring together this split. Now, that’s a lot. And because it is a lot it is very confusing. Remember something about the not-self that’s a split that needs that bridge. It becomes the thing that they are missing in their life. It becomes the thing that they don't trust that they can ever have. It becomes the --- PAGE 29 --- LESSON TWO: Preparation Analysis 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 21 thing that is the most important to them. Oh, so important to them. More important than whom they are; more important than anything else. The Emotional System And yet, you can see that in these six different cases of which four of them have to deal with the emotional system, that there is going to be a lot of volatility in all of that, there is going to be a lot of suffering in all of that. And oh, isn't that a really unusual emotional system—unconscious, unconscious, unconscious. And here unconscious and here unconscious, because if you look at this from just the personality perspective you can see that this is all this person can identify with. It’s very, very difficult for them to identify with that emotional system. And the pressure, the pressure to connect these together, always looking for it and feeling so inadequate. I'm not this, I’m not that; I’m not this, I’m not that; I’m not this, I’m not that. You have to get a feel for people. You have to get a sense of them, because after all you have to develop a relationship with them. To take somebody along this track you have to have a strong connection, and that strong connection, that ability to connect to the other, this is your responsibility, you’re the professional, you're the --- PAGE 30 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 one who's trained to see them. And it means you have to be able to understand them, have a sense of what they're going through. A Split Mind You can see that this person is blindly driven. And I mean, blindly driven; powerful, powerful unconscious manifesting power, powerful, powerful. How out of control this person can feel. Schizophrenia and impairment of perception, how interesting is that this is a left brain with a left mind. And right cognition with a right view. And I'm not suggesting for a moment that this particular variable is the variable of schizophrenia. But then again, if you go into the nuances of this design and you begin to see the conflicts that are there, after all schizophrenia in Greek simply means ‘split mind.’ And this impairment of perception, this is where perception is. And this is where the perception can be turned into conceptualization. And you can see how different they are from each other. Now, it doesn't necessarily mean that this is going to lead specifically to a schizophrenic. But the reality is that given the nuances that are there and this particular construct on top of it, it would lead one to wonder, wouldn’t it. One of the interesting things about schizophrenia is hallucinations that are rooted in being disconnected from the reality. Well, you see, to have right vision with a left mind can often be like that. It can. And it's interesting to note that this nodal aspect which is over here is separate from this that is all built up over here. --- PAGE 31 --- LESSON TWO: Preparation Analysis 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 23 One of the things that I’m pointing you at is that we’re here to see as much as we’re here to discover. Nobody has ever been able to have a map of the mind. So, nobody has ever been able to look at certain specific conditions from this perspective. Let's say that we gather the charts of a hundred schizophrenics. It would be very interesting then to do a comparative analysis. And it's true of many, many bipolar stuff, you name it, all of the various things—Alzheimer's—all kinds of things, because the view has never existed before. So that the potential of the associations that are there, there’s a great deal to be discovered. The Open Centers So the first thing that we understand when we’re looking at the dilemma here, without this being a known schizophrenic, so we can get away from that subject for a moment, we have somebody that has a very open mind. We have somebody that has an incredibly vulnerable immune system; incredibly vulnerable. You rarely get to see immune systems like that. There are only three gates that are even pointing at it. You see all this whiteness around it. And of course, we know that rather than being a typical split definition where there are one or two possibilities, generally speaking, to link up the split so that the conditioning focus is quite straightforward, the conditioning focus isn't straightforward here at all. It’s just as confusing. When you give into the fact that the not-self mind is going to make the decisions on the life and those decisions are going to be based on becoming any one of these six things or all of them and that all of that is going to be rooted in the way in which the open centers operate, it is clear that you're looking at somebody who is going to be quite confused. And they will be. The Need for a Deep Deconditioning Process It doesn't have to lead to schizophrenia, but it is simply something to grasp about how much conditioning is there in this being. As a professional looking at this, the first question you would have to ask yourself is, is this a tourist or is this somebody that's here for real. And what I mean by a tourist, somebody who has a casual interest in Design and something about the promise of Rave Psychology touches them and they're going to take a flying leap at it. Well, I look at somebody like this and I think I'm going to have to do so much deconditioning work with them. This is somebody that is going to have to go through a very deep deconditioning process; in other words, being able to being confronted with those very aspects that they've been chasing after and for them to be able to realize that in their own life experience. In other words, this is not giving them something that is just purely theoretical, it is there for them to be able to identify these things within themselves to slowly begin this process of demonstrating to their passenger that they have been nothing but a conditioned being, to open up the possibility that we can get to the richness and the resources and the gifts that are there in this particular person’s design, because they --- PAGE 32 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 are there. There is so much there. And yet, when I look at the surface, in my preparatory analysis in this person coming in and wanting to have an appointment to begin this process, what is clear to me is that I have to begin one-by-one going through these areas of conditioning, because that's the first thing that has to be dealt with. You Can’t Skip Anything Remember something about the passenger. You can't skip anything. You can't skip stuff. You can't lead over things, you can't avoid things. You have to go step-by- step-by-step with the passenger, so that it all goes in, so they see it all; all of it. Here is somebody who's looking for extremism, somebody who is trying to break out of the pattern, trying to break out of being stuck. And they think the extreme is what they should be. They do. It's a driving force. It just is. They want to be a success. They want to be in the right place at the right time. They want to be a winner. This is what they want. They want to win through extremes. You can see that they need to be first. They need to be in charge. They want to be intimate. They want intimacy. You have to have a sense of how deep the conditioning is in those you have to deal with, because remember something about Rave Psychology. Rave Psychology is part education. It is the most streamlined and personal education, the most differentiated education that somebody should be able to receive in their life. In other words, it is not an education that is simply directed at you alone, but it is an education about you, in that sense. It is very, very focused. And the thing about that education is that this is the only way in which you can work with the passenger. It's the only way that you can break through. It is very, very difficult to break a split definition from its addictions. These are addictions and they need to be understood as addictions. They really are. I mean, this is somebody who is addicted to their fantasies, they are addicted to it. They’re addicted to their moodiness. It's something to understand. It's not because they want to be, are looking at that, this is all mechanical. It’s just mechanical. You’re a split definition, you've got that bridge, oh boy, does that ever have enormous power over you, so if you're going to heal that in somebody then that's the place where you're going to have to work with them. Understanding the Person Before You Meet Them Remember, before you meet them you have to understand what is going to be necessary. In other words, you’re really going to have to see clearly what steps you're going to need to take and it's going to be different with every client. Again, this is highly differentiated service. So the moment that you're looking at somebody in this context, when you are preparing, when you're making the decision because quite frankly you can look at something like this and say, I don’t want to do that. Understand that. This would be a really long haul; no joke. --- PAGE 33 --- LESSON TWO: Preparation Analysis 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 25 I can look a certain designs and see oh, boy, you can just see how much work has to be done to break through to the personality. I'm not talking about people who can operate according to their strategy. That can be very, very mundane in the way in which that operates, and quite frankly not impact the personality. The thing that is so important is that we have that opportunity in understanding the way beings are to be able to provide the right kind of guidance. Here is somebody that it is going to take time. It's going to take time. You're dealing with a 6.2. It depends when you meet them. It depends what part of their process that they’re in. There are all these factors that come into it and the understanding that the deeper this person has been conditioned in your life, the more confused they are and the more difficult it is to break through that shell. It's not even easy for somebody like this to follow their strategy and authority. I mean, here is somebody who is an uncontrollable unconscious manifestor; uncontrollable, unconscious manifestor. Jeez, you don't want to get in the way of a train like that. And of course, we know that this is a manifesting Generator, we know that, but nonetheless. And it’s not an easy thing to talk to this person about these forces, because they don't have a conscious access to them. They don't know where it's coming from. It can often make them feel crazy; after all, this whole process of transition, the potential of crisis, all of this emerging out of actions that come uncontrollably. This is not a classic example to take, by the way, for somebody that's going to come into the Center for Human Differentiation. You’re not going to find anybody on the planet that has this kind of design and they're okay. And the beauty of that is that we’re at the most delicate end of the whole process. I’m trying to get that across to you. I did that illustration today in one of the classes, and I thought that was really cute. When you're operating according to your strategy and authority you create a very nice backseat. The brain functions properly, the body’s in the right place, the perception, the view is correct. And the only thing left over is whether you can get this passenger to just sit back in the chair and just relax and watch the movie. And this is what's so difficult. This is the great challenge in the work that we do. You can tell at even the deepest levels of working with this knowledge that this is quite a step. --- PAGE 34 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 So when you're dealing with somebody that is coming in that is new to the process you have to be very clear that you cannot just jump in there with all the wonderful things that you would love to tell them. You can't even begin to work with what is the underlying magic because in fact there it is, there is this incredible capacity that is there in this being, there is all this possibility of what could be the unique awareness and the way in which this unique awareness could be expressed as outer authority and wouldn’t we'd love to get into that; but you can’t. You can’t put the cart in front of the horse. It isn’t going to do you any good. The Surface Needs to be Cleansed First The first thing you have to recognize is what you have to deal with here, because it's the surface that needs to be cleansed first. I’m a single definition. As a single definition I represent the second largest grouping, split definitions are 45% and singles are 41%, something like that, of the population. The thing about the single definition is that they are the ones that are the most deeply conditioned by the open centers; it’s an obvious after all. But they’re the ones that are most deeply conditioned by the open centers. And the split definition, and again I'm talking about the basic split with two parts. The split definition is the other side of that coin. In other words, they’re the ones that are most deeply influenced by what's missing. There is always something missing for them. Think about this being with their open mind and their weak immune system and their unconscious control over their activity and all of these things that are lacking in them that they need. And they’re a 19 on top of it, they are needy. I need that because I don't have it. And of course, they can't have it. They can't have it. It's not them. And yet, everything about their life has been rooted in that. Every thought that they have ever had has been controlled by those six bridge gates. How confusing all that is, and none of it is them. --- PAGE 35 --- LESSON TWO: Preparation Analysis 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 27 So let's say that were lucky, let’s say that this is one out of a million with this kind of configuration, that one out of the million that has the serendipity in their life to be lucky enough that this opens up a doorway for them. And they begin to experiment. The first thing about that is how difficult it is. You cannot talk about this person being in touch with their emotionality. They are not. It is only if they can see properly that they notice that they have an impact on others and others consider them to be emotional. They don't even know how powerful their own sex drive is. In the same way that they have a very, very weak understanding because of the 21, this unconscious gate cuts off this being from its sense that it does or can have or should have control. This being can be so out of control. And there you are with Design saying, first of all you’re a Generator and you’re here to respond, that’s something that they can tune into. One of the interesting things about somebody like this with these unconscious activations to the throat and is very, very powerful consciously activated and consciously defined pressure to the sacral is that I guarantee you they have a hell of a sacral voice. This is somebody that could really be, in a sense, shocked because initiation is inherent in them, shocked into recognizing this force within themselves. Perhaps one could open up a doorway to understanding response. But it's the whole theme of patience in this being that is going to be the ultimate challenge with all of that power and no control over that power, unless they are clearly able to experiment with response, non-initiation, which is not an easy thing for them, after all. Look at the dilemmas in this being. It’s what I mean by the fact that I doubt very much that they would've showed up at the Center for Human Differentiation, because this is an enormous thing to get through. It really is. The Role of a Rave Psychologist But it’s also a classic example for us. I’ve tried to mention to you and begin to clarify the role of a Rave Psychologist. You need to be very much involved in what is going to be your client or clients, because we'll talk about the left/right variations. It’s much better to work one-on-one with the left and to work in groups with the right. But you have to see that this is not a Human Design analysis. This is not a one-time 40 minute encounter; it isn't. It is a long-term process that in some cases it's going to take years. It requires that there is an established relationship and that relationship is something that is going to be very important. And you have to look at that being who wants to have your particular services and you have to see for yourself what the nature of your commitment is going to be with this being. It is very important for you to discern out of your own authority whether you want to deal with this level of challenge, because you have to see that this is not just a matter of you throwing a bone at somebody and you say, okay, see you. This is really about working with somebody and working with somebody over time. I want you to understand that the way in which the Center is set up is that no practitioner --- PAGE 36 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 and no psychologist is forced to accept a client simply because the client wants to have them. I think over time we’ll see that there are different kinds of gifts amongst the Rave Psychologist community in which there are those that do better front-end work and those who do better back-end work, if you know what I mean. In other words, those that have a gift for going through the surface material of the conditioning/deconditioning process, the education of the passenger about their conditioning process, as opposed to the education of the passenger to its true possibility. You can't get there until the passenger has dealt with the surface. Talk to the Passenger It’s about catharsis. Nice word, catharsis, I like that word. But I think that this is the thing to understand about the first part of the process with the client is to give the passenger its catharsis, give the passenger the opportunity to clearly see all of the conditioning forces that have molded the way in which it is perceived. It doesn't mean, by the way, that the personality is displayed through the holistic being. It means in that moment to display that it knows, that it understands that it gets it. One of the things about this course and the teaching of this course is that within my own mental process as I speak I really gear this at your passenger. I think that that is something very important to understand about dealing with your clients, is that don't be so concerned about the way in which they deal with what you tell them on the surface. Don’t worry about that. You have to talk to their passenger. After all, you're talking through their conditioning. Even if they're experimenting with their design, bravo, but there's a lot of work to be done and years to go in the deconditioning process and the mind is still polluted with all of those I’m-in-charge- of-the-life stuff. So that when you're talking to your client at the beginning of the process you have to see that though you have certain commonality in a new language that you can share together, the fact is that if you don't talk to their passenger you're not going to reach them. And if you pay attention to what you're getting back as a feedback on the surface you're going to be fooled or disillusioned. It’s what I did in readings throughout my career. I would talk to the inside of the being. I was talking to the true self, even though I knew the not-self was what was listening. But still it goes in. And because of the beauty of this being logical, mechanical and correct, that that going in is the way in which the passenger has its cathartic experience and begins to shed this control that the not-self and the conditioning field has had over its life. --- PAGE 37 --- LESSON TWO: Preparation Analysis 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 29 Don’t Worry About the Response So, this is quite a job to work with somebody at this level. It's not about forcing them to confront anything. It's interesting in terms of psychological approaches, because it doesn't matter how the surface deals with it. The psychologist is very concerned about the response, the actual response of the patient that they’re dealing with, that so much is measured by the way in which the patient responds to the approach, the therapy, whatever the case may be. You have to understand that we know something very different. What we know is that the surface is something that is deeply conditioned and is something that is fundamentally locked in and dissolves very slowly. Yet at the same time, if we're not concerned about what the immediate reaction is on the surface, what we will see is that as it goes in, slowly it corrects. It’s like what you learn in Human Design. Over the course of your career you learn many, many things, but only at certain moments do you realize that suddenly it has become a part of you, that suddenly it has become something that you don't think about, but something that is simply there. And it isn’t because you decided that it should be there or that you worked really hard at getting rid of what was there beforehand, it is simply that it went in, it settled in, it got digested and it comes back out. It's the same thing with dealing with the passenger. You have to look at these basic and fundamental themes. And at the moment that we do that, the moment that we just start, one theme at the time to talk about it, it is a theme that is raised. This is something that has always been part of conditioning in your life, and it is simply information that is put in. Don't worry about the response. This is something so special to understand. We're talking to the passenger. We're not talking to the not-self. We’re not; even with this student. What to do, Cathy. As I said, this person would never show up. I give you big-time Vegas odds on that he would never show up. The only way that this person would ever get help is if they were dragged to help by somebody else and of course in relationship to Human Design that doesn’t do any good. If you’re going to smack somebody full of drugs or give them shock therapy or stuff like that, the fact of the matter is that all you can ever do—that’s why our work is so special, we're not dealing with the homogenized personality. We are in the sense that we need to know how to relate to the homogenized personality, we have to. And yet, at the same time to understand that our dialogue is a dialogue that is intended to be with the passenger. And that whatever we're imparting to that being is directed at that passenger. And for you to understand that it goes in, but you can't leave anything out. Anything you leave out will be used against you. You leave something out, you leave that surface with something that it can still hold onto as a way not to be correct, as a way not to be itself. It’s quite a journey. I am convinced that the knowledge of Rave Psychology is something that this here to replace all psychological approaches on this planet, that --- PAGE 38 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 it is far, far superior. That it is the only way, psychologically, to be able to deal with what is a nine-centered being and to be able to offer these services to a nine- centered being to put them in touch with what is their true outer authority. And you have to see that in getting involved with the client there is a real process that you need to go through with them, step-by-step. And it begins with breaking down in detail the conditioning elements so that they grasp them, so that they recognize them, so that the passenger can finally see, wow, isn’t that interesting, because that's the great glory of the passenger. Isn't that interesting? Look at that, that's not really what I am, then what am I? That where the “what am I” comes from. Let me get rid of all of this stuff, all of this homogenized stuff. Let me really get to it. Let me see what is really there, because that's what the passenger longs for. The Center for Human Differentiation I’m enormously excited about the Center for Human Differentiation because I think that it's perhaps the most powerful revolution that Human Design brings other than the basic analysis itself. The basic analysis is a way of opening a door. But the Center is a way in which the well-being of anyone who enters into this process, that their well-being is something that is our concern and that we have the knowledge to be able to benefit them both physically and psychologically in adapting to what it is to be one of these nine-centered beings and to live out the potential of what it is to be a nine-centered being. There are no nine-centered sciences other than Human Design, they don't exist, which means that all the other approaches are approaches that are based on a species that is not us. Some of that's okay, we learn by playing around with rats what might or might not be good for us. But the fact of the matter is that we are very different from the seven-centered being, we have bodies that are designed in fact to live longer. It's a different kind of system. We have a whole mutation that is taking place in the visual cortex. A mutation in the visual cortex that opens up the possibility of what we’re calling solar plexus awareness. We are an extraordinary mechanism. And yet in order to get to that, in order to be able to bask in the beauty of what it is to be us is that you have to go through all of these things and only for the benefit of this passenger, because it completes the story. There are three ways. There is one way that is the not-self and that is basically a minimum of 95% of humanity, a minimum of 95% of humanity that’s the not-self. There is a possibility in that other 5% for some kind of potential transformation. There is a percentage out of that may actually get to a point where they can operate correctly mechanically. And then there is another percentage out of that that can complete the program, finish the job. This is the great challenge. Anybody who comes to that center, they come to that center with the beginnings of being able to establish the consistency of what's here. And this is going to change their life. It’s going to make their life better even if they're only following their strategy and authority, some times, all of that stuff. --- PAGE 39 --- LESSON TWO: Preparation Analysis 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 31 It is a process that will help them. There is no question about it. The vast majority of people that have contact with Human Design aren’t in this classroom, and you will know that. The thousands and thousands of people that are moving through our site all the time, every day, day in and day out, that the vast majority of them are really only hoping for this, because they don’t know any better anyway. They're just hoping for a better life for a change, for a chance. This is what fundamental Human Design gives them. But you are not analysts. That is not our job. That is, we are here to open up the possibility of the completion of this. It is something that is more important to me, in a sense, than anything else. The Challenge of Healing the Mind I recognize absolutely that I can heal anybody. There is no question about it, none, as long as the being wants to be healed. The body can be healed. It's easy, it really is. But to heal the mind, to bring to anyone the magic of an awakened state that is a normal state, this is the great challenge. For me it is not enough that I can heal vehicles. It isn't. The world is a boring place for me. And it's a boring place because there are very few human beings who have anything interesting to say. The great tragedy of the homogenized world is that the minds of the planet are content to talk about and repeat the same things over and over and over again. This is not what uniqueness is about. It is not what differentiation is about. The ultimate beauty of being a differentiated being is not just that you are healthy and that you are in the right place, but you have something of intrinsic value that you can share as outer authority. That you become interesting, that you become entertaining. It's what you get from me. I’m interesting and entertaining, and that's the best compliment you could ever give me, because that's what outer authority is about. It isn't about anything else. It really isn’t. Oh, it is the ultimate magic. After all, to be unique is to transcend all laws. I tried to get across in my juxtaposition lectures to understand what it means that the moment that you can achieve what is differentiation is the moment you break all laws. There are no rules. There is no limitation. But you can only do that from the passenger out of this perfect platform, that beautiful backseat where you can just sit back there and watch the movie. And in that unique capacity to be able to share; we’re here to share with the other. If there is any future intellectually for us, it can only arise out of outer authority, because everything else is just a homogenized program controlling us. All these people who think that this planet was created by a God; they’re all homogenized with the same concept. It distorts the way in which they can or cannot see anything. Our work is to open up the freedom of the passenger to express itself, its uniqueness; nothing more, nothing less. This is what the mind is for. This is the perfection of our social interaction. And I want to tell you something, that if you could imagine two people who both have pure outer authority communicating with --- PAGE 40 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 each other it’s better than sex, because the future and the way in which we meet is less and less about the genetic imperative, less and less. And the richness of what's possible for us in our communication with the other, to truly enjoy the presence of the other, that all of this in the end is about outer authority. For this person in their journey, if we are going to be able to help them we have a lot of work to do. We have to be able to break down all of that conditioning, all of those elements, and we have to reach out to the passenger and inform the passenger, tell the passenger, whatever the case may be, to let them know precisely how they have been manipulated, how this has distorted their life. So, when you're looking at somebody's design I watch you to practice now. Look at charts. And look at what it would take to take that person step-by-step through their deconditioning process so that you can get to that place where you can really begin to work with the passenger itself. You have to be able to look at the chart and see what work needs to be done, where the work needs to be done. Again, this is about communication. It is about taking that passenger to the ideal educational experience. It’s not therapy. It really isn't. It's almost a mystical kind of education, because in fact you're talking to what lies behind the mask, and you will see as you go through it step by step. It’s like what you have learned. It doesn't mean you act on all of these little bits and pieces that you learn, but they go in, and they begin to have their effect because they are impacting your passenger. And anything that takes away the conditioning and homogenization from the passenger, these are the steps that you are taking to the completion of your fulfillment of your purpose—the beauty of the healthy vehicle in the right place with the right perspective creating a foundation for unique perception and ability to be able to transmit it. That would be interesting, very interesting. To all of you, as always, it’s been a real pleasure. It’s something to think about. And do keep in mind, Jovian Digital Books, take a peek, see for yourself. I think you’ll find it very useful. Next week we will continue our journey. To all of you, you take care. Until next time; bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 41 --- 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 33 Lesson Three Review and Test Preparation The Center for Human Differentiation Welcome to all of you and to those that are downloading. With apologies to those of you that are members of PHS as well because there will be some repetition in this, it does give me a chance to expound on a vision of mine, and a vision that's been a key in my whole enthusiasm for advanced education and the time and energy necessary to be able to develop advanced education and this knowledge. What I am referring to is the Center for Human Differentiation which will open its open in September of this year. This for me has been something that I recognized along time ago was one of the most important directions that I could possibly take in terms of how to develop the infrastructure of Human Design. For me Human Design is a binary. That is, it operates in two ways. It operates with a focus on those who do not know and those who are ready to experiment with perhaps finding out. In other words, reaching out to anyone who can be ready and trying to be as available and efficient and effective and all of these things to be able to satisfy whatever that demand may be. But of course, for me it is something else. That is, it is obvious that strategy and authority is something that can be a boon for anyone. And yet, it doesn't mean that any of those individuals in experimenting with it are going to take the entire journey. It's obvious to me that those numbers are always limited. It's also something else, it’s something that I've been teaching now for a long time and is something that is so clear in this era of the knowledge of Human Design. And that is that the nine- centered being is very different. It is new, in that sense, since 1781, it is new. It is still trying to find its legs, so to speak. It is certainly very different from its seven- centered ancestor. And everything that we know on this plane in the way in which knowledge has been placed at the service of humanity is that it is knowledge that is rooted in seven-centered thought and it is there to serve not-self humanity. It's clear to me that the nine-centered being is not going to be served in any productive way by seven-centered processes or concepts. And it means that the well-being of the nine-centered being, that is, the well-being both in terms of their physical well-being, their health, and in terms of their development as a consciousness, as a self-reflected consciousness that for the nine-centered being something that is specifically attuned to them is necessary. --- PAGE 42 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 For me the framework of our work together, you’re part of this twin process of Primary Health System and Rave Psychology, in developing what I consider to be the best educated students of Human Design specialized knowledge that can be made available to those that are entering into their process, because this is one of the things that is not available in the world. That is, the support for the process of being involved in your experiment. And of course, within the context of that experiment, where the experiment can take you; that is, where it can take you in terms of being able to realize the possibilities of your form. That is, to discover what it means to be properly nourished and to discover what it means to find what is environmentally correct for you, to open up a whole new perspective and new clarity in the way in which you look upon things. And ultimately, to be able to establish in the personality the potential of being an observer that offers its outer authority and offers its outer authority as its finest act of communication. When you enter into this whole process of Design you start your experiment. All of you know that it was, particularly those of you that started with me in the early years, know what of struggle it was just to have material, just to be able to meet somebody once in a while that had the same interest and perhaps had something to share with you. We have an incredible infrastructure that has been developed in Design. We have a superior training education program for analysts; we have very, very fine teachers and analysts everywhere today. It is something to see that it is not enough now to set somebody on the path. For me it's clear that we, because we are the source of all of this, that we need to provide the finest possible human services that we can. It is what the Center represents to me. There are many levels of this. One of the most important levels of this is that there has been an enormous investment in this program. It is a huge program as you all well know. And it’s very important for me that the legitimacy of what you achieve in this program is something that is grasped and well understood. It is after all, the only programs that require this kind of testing. First of all, it is for the integrity of the certificates that you're going to receive. That is, the fact that you've gone through this training and the fact that you've been tested and certified in that and the fact that you are appointed to the staff at the center that we are not going to have—well, there are always going to be people that do things, but nobody is going to be able to do so with impunity, because this is something that will be legally protected. It is very important for me that the Center represents the finest qualities that Human Design can offer. As a teacher, as somebody who has been involved in this from the very beginning, truly one of the real privileges of my work is my students. I'm deeply impressed with my students and the level of dedication and the awareness that is there. And I've had the opportunity of being able to watch their processes over many years. What is important for me is that this finest quality of what Human Design is, not just simply the intellectual of it, there are always going to be those that intellectually grasp things better than others. It's about the holistic reality. It is about the combination of what you are as a being in your process, as well as what it is that you know, and that the training that you perceive and understanding that the people that are going to be coming through that door, they are coming to get the best possible services that we can offer, services that are transforming, after all. --- PAGE 43 --- LESSON THREE: Review & Test Preparation Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 35 So, when you think about all of this effort and nervousness and this and that and blah, blah, blah, attached with going through this kind of a process please understand that this is a historic beginning for Human Design. And I say a beginning; it is the beginning of Design’s fourth seven-year cycle. It is the first cycle in which Design has reached 21 years. This is the maturation of Human Design and at the same time the beginning of establishing an environment that is going to be of service to more and more and more human beings. It's clear to me when having to deal with recommendations that have to do with people's diet and with their health recommendations in relationship to their consciousness and all of these things that it is so important that those that are going to be representing the knowledge that they're the best, frankly. It really is what this is all about, in a sense, this is what the staff of this Center really represents, the best possible sources of guidance that you can find in the various disciplines. The Educational Standard And obviously again, everyone's different. It is all nuances. And yet, at the same time there is a fundamental standard that is there. That standard, by the way, is very, very important for me. I will teach this program only one more year. That is so that the students that are in the second year program now, that I will finish the process for them in the third year. I will not do that again. It is very important for me that the educational standard, that the program itself, the 99 lecture program is one that is established, which is what this process has been going through, the various cycles of this now over these three years, and that the testing standard is there. That is, that regardless of who trained you, or what era you were trained, because there will be people trained to these disciplines for a long time to come, that a standard has been established. And in that is the creation of what is very important for me. That is, this is a very different kind of professional class. The environment itself, and by the way, and I will give you sneak previews sometime in the beginning of the summer, the Center is really a high-tech wonder and it's really quite extraordinary what we're working on and what we're developing for this particular environment. It is going to be something that is very exciting. And everything about it, one of its major ingredients from the professional side is the ability for everyone to be able to work together and share information and to be able to develop out of that, I was going to say a comradery, a common development of the potential of this extraordinary environment. --- PAGE 44 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 36 Testing Structure Anyway, I don’t want to get carried away on my Center stuff because I've been deeply, deeply involved in that. I know you’re all waiting to find out what this is all about, so let me get on with the story here. First of all, it’s the same structure for Primary Health Systems students. You can see that you're dealing with components and percentages and that four of the components are going to be online examinations. That is, the first one is going to be next week, next Wednesday, the 30th. You can see that each of these online examinations have a value of 15%. And of course, then there is the thesis project that you're working on and this is 40%. The first thing about these exams, again, I'm very fortunate with the work of Asi Farran, the things we’re able to build and to be able to have. I can imagine something and it gets realized is really very exciting. One of them is our testing center. This is a fully online testing center. Basically, what it allows me to do as a teacher is that it allows me to go into an administration area and to be able to create an examination with all the various questions. If I want to put an illustration to each question I can. If I want a general illustration to be part of the exam, I can do that; in other words, all kinds of basic facilities to allow me to be able to do that. I mention this, by the way, in that at some point when the time is available we’ll create a module that I can make available to any of you, those of you that are --- PAGE 45 --- LESSON THREE: Review & Test Preparation 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 37 teachers and would like to have that as a tool to work with your students, not necessarily to grade them for their results, but to help them see what they know and be comfortable with how much information they’re taking in, and those kinds of things. So, first of all, it gives me the facility to be able to do that. Obviously, it’s online. What happens is that when you show up like you do for the class where you press the button to get into the class, I think you noticed today underneath that is the exam area. And basically it is a button you click, but you're not going into classroom, you’re going to your own private examination room. Basically what you meet is simply the exam itself. A General Knowledge Test First of all, each of these exams is made up of 15 questions. You have 45 minutes, so you notice that the timing for next week is 15 minutes after the hour. That is, 15 minutes after what is the normal start of our class time. You have 45 minutes for the exam. By the way, you can go beyond the 45 minutes, it doesn't shut it off, but I get to see how much time you actually took, so, please stay within the 45 minutes. The answers, there are two kinds of questions that I can give you, that is, straight answer questions, which is what this very first exam is based on or multiple-choice. In this case, as I said, they are 15 questions that will require a written answer. It is simply an entry space, just like you're in the classroom where above it says: type here. There's an entry space where you can simply write in your answer. I don't reward wordiness. I really don't. I'm always suspicious of too many words. I prefer that your answers are succinct and to the point so that you don't get carried away, particularly in this very first exam. It is a general knowledge test. And as you can see they get more and more complex as we move along. The second exam, there are two a semester, the second one will be in March and it will be on the 12th of March. Grading The next thing, in terms of the grading of all of this, if you receive 50% or less, then in order to be retested you would be required to audit the year again. Now obviously at audit fee rates, which would be just a basic $100; just a standard audit fee. Below 50% you would be required to do the audit, go through the whole year again, and then do the retesting at the end of the year as you're doing now. That would be a year from now. If you get between 74 and 50% you're not required to audit the entire course. There will be a testing facility that will be set up in October of this coming year, October 2008, in which it would be possible for these candidates, if they wanted to, to go through retesting at that time. Candidates with 75% or higher automatically achieve certification. Some of you may think that the standard bar is high. I do not. I think it's fair. Again, I think it's --- PAGE 46 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 important to understand the responsibility of such a role. I think it's very important that we have a high standard. I also understand many things. I understand the not everybody feels that testing is something that they're good at, many people still have mental trips that make it very difficult for them to really relax into the process, something that I'll talk about it a moment. But the fact is that this is the only viable way. It’s not that I question any of your worthiness. I do want you to understand that, and I really want you to avoid the open ego trip of thinking that this is where you have to prove yourself. It isn't. It's very important to see that this is just simply a process that you're moving through. I don't think that it is to your advantage to put that kind of pressure on yourself, because it really serves no purpose. Trust Yourself What's really important is to begin to trust in yourself. It’s what I always hope that Human Design brings to a human being, is that it brings a new sense of self-respect and potentially of love, a new sense of value, a new sense of power, a new sense of possibility and capacity. It’s one of the things I tried to explain out of my juxtaposition comments that there is no limitation for us, that there is no limitation. All we have to do is just recognize that there is no limitation, because there isn't, there is only possibility. And again it is about how deeply you can sink into the authority that is yours, because that's really what it's about. It's also something else, we have an enormous advantage in the mechanics of the knowledge is that it gives us a deep insight into the way in which the mind operates, after all, that has been our work together. And it's something to keep in mind that the testing program per se is something that is going to operate very, very differently in the way in which it can be approached successfully from the left or from the right. This is something really to grasp, how different this is. The Left Mind If you're dealing with a left, remember that the left is particularly and very precisely strategic in the way in which it operates. This is what the left does. It looks at things, it focuses at things. And so, if you're somebody that has left mindedness, what you need to do is that you need to be the passenger that can objectively look at yourself, objectively look at your own movie and objectively see “where am I weak.” This is not a question that the right can ever ask itself, but it is the most important question that the left can ask: where is my weakness. Do I remember all of that stuff about primes and epsilons? Do I remember when a not-self this or that is; all of these things. In other words it's about the left looking and seeing where is my weakness, and leave your strengths alone; those areas where you're comfortable, --- PAGE 47 --- LESSON THREE: Review & Test Preparation 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 39 don't bother with them. Just go to those areas of weakness and put your focus strategic mind at work. The Right Mind It’s very different than if you’re right, because if you’re right minded, the last question you ask yourself is: where am I weak. Because the answer invariably will be everywhere, because it seems that way, it only seems that way. This is an enormous step forward for the right when they can leap into that void of trusting their openness. You are not fools, after all. You've been going through enormously complex information. This is not about intelligence anymore. This is just about being able to organize it and bringing it out. And the whole thing to understand about being right is it's all there, so you can't go through that “where am I weak” business, because you'll exhaust yourself. And it's not going to be any more productive. What’s very important if you’re right is work with the knowledge. This is your way to study. Don't study; work with the knowledge. Look at charts, do some readings, just work with the knowledge, because this is the point. As long as you are working with it, you'll see that what you need is going to be there. It's about taking it in. And this is all you can do. And remember something, what you really get to see in the end as a result of being right is how attentive you were in taking it in. That's the only thing that you get to see. But you took it all in, so trust in it. And after all, we are here not simply to teach others, guide others as to how to act correctly, how to deal with things. We ourselves have to follow that, live that, and be that. And your very approach to how you meet all of this is an enormous lesson for yourself; it’s something to watch. It’s something to watch yourself go through this process. It is. Everyone Try to Take the First Examination I think that you can find it to be deeply entertaining. And I think it's very important that you go through this process. Nobody, by the way, is forced to, you understand that. I would recommend that everybody take this first examination. Do so for yourself before you make any other kinds of decisions, because it's very important for you to have that sense of comfort in the depth of what you have been able to achieve. It’s very, very important for you. And yes it is a challenge, but so it should be. I finished writing your examination today, and it was a very, very interesting process for me to lay it out and in two ways to see that there are no tricks, what is asked is what is known. And at the same time, I'm very impressed with the level of that exam. That is, the level of consciousness that it takes to be able to answer those questions. So for me it's going to be a very interesting experience. --- PAGE 48 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 By the way the way it works in terms of you doing the test, when it's over, when you're finished, what happens is that I get it as an online file where I grade it. And when I finish the grading automatically it sends you an e-mail with your test, with the results, and if there are comments of mine, with comments of mine, so it's a very well put together technical service that really makes this possible. Ra Is Available in the Classroom at the Normal Time Okay, now I would like to open this up as I did yesterday. If there's anything that you would like to know, if there are any further questions that you have, if there's any further clarification that you need—oh, one last comment about next week. I will be here in the classroom at the normal time, that is, 20 minutes before the hour. The test itself begins at a quarter after the hour, 15 minutes after the hour, so you're quite welcome to come into the classroom I will be here. If you have last minute questions or you just want to chat or whatever the case may be or to relax, but just to let you know that I will be available in the class at the time. Okay, I’m going to open up to you. I assume Stephen that that's not you holding it down because you want to talk. So, maybe you should check that out because otherwise I’m going to have to bump you. Q: When I used to write multiple choice exams it is traditional to put in a trick question. Have you put in any trick questions? A: No. I think it would be cruel. I have a long, long career of writing exams, because I was a teacher at many different levels. I know that process so well. It is not something I like. I'm interested in straightforward questions with straightforward answers. I think it's the advantage of being somebody that has the 4 and doesn’t have the 63. I know all kinds of questions, and as a teacher I've heard so many questions. For me it’s very important that a question provides the answer in the sense that a good question is not something that should be confusing, so you either know the answer or not. Q: Thank you. My open strategic mind will stop trying to second-guess myself. [Written question: will you be there in the classroom during the examination so that can we have spoken or written contact to you, eg, if we don’t understand the questions right (the english)?] A: No, Elfriede. That's interesting, though, particularly not for this examination, but I will see what's possible in the future to make that kind of thing possible. I will check with Asi, Elfriede, to see if it’s possible to be in the exam room and also have the classroom open at the same time, and then that would be possible and I would be willing to hang around in the open classroom in case there were any questions. I don't think anybody outside of—obviously for you English is a second language. I think it’s very straightforward. I don't think that there will be any confusion. As I --- PAGE 49 --- LESSON THREE: Review & Test Preparation 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 41 said, I take pride in the sense a question should be straightforward, good questions should be really straightforward. Q: Anyway, they need to because you just have three minutes for one question and if you’re not quick in typing you can’t write much anyway. A: Exactly, Andrea, exactly, it’s set up that way. And you'll see that there are some questions where you don't have to type very much at all. Q: Is the first semester of this year included in the test? A: Oh, yes. Everything is in the test. The difference is that I'm not trying to raise the level yet. That is, this first test is that I want you to get your feet wet. It is a good, solid general knowledge test. But nothing really sophisticated yet. The next one will be much more complex in terms of the kinds of answers it’s looking for. But in terms of this first one, no, it is general knowledge; but yes, it's based on everything that we've studied. Q: I'm referring to variables and the structure of the mind and all the stuff that was covered in class last semester. A: Yes, it’s certainly that anything that we have covered can show up. But as I said, this is a general knowledge test first. So, you're not going to get questions on base orientation in this test. Oh, but you may get it down the road. Again, after this test is over we do the review, then we go back to working on the details and doing the finishing work on things like variable and things like base orientation. So these final components are placed in perspective. However, as I said, you are responsible for everything that we have covered. The other thing is that we’re working very hard at trying to make sure that you're going to have transcriptions for all of the semesters and that these transcriptions, not that they’ll be available for this test, but that these transcriptions will be available soon so that you’ll be able to have access to it for your work further on. Q: I have to be honest, the last semester there was many things that I just didn't get, I just didn’t understand. And I can go back and review our classes from last semester to see if it sinks in. But, if it doesn't, how do we go about asking you about things like that. Sometimes trying to ask those things in e-mail is not is not really that easy. A: There is no question that I have written for a student that they are not capable of answering. Remember that we’re talking about different things about different levels. That is, the material that we covered last semester, and all of that transcribed material is available, it was the first priority for us to make it available. This is material that is going to be covered this semester. That is, material that as I said is going to be gone through in depth this semester. Obviously in this test, I'm not going to put things that I’m going to work on in detail after this test, if you understand what I'm saying. In other words, this testing is not out to get anyone, if --- PAGE 50 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 you know what I mean. It’s just basic knowledge. And it’s basic knowledge at a level that all of you, regardless, that all of you should be able to handle. Q: I think we’re deconditioning fear of testing from a lifetime of traditional schools. A: Yes. It was one of the things that was a bridge that I had to cross. That is, for so many reasons it's absolutely essential. This is a science, after all. And it has to be treated in that way. And I already know what happens when you don't have standards. I’ve seen the results over my whole career, and I see what happens to people who don't really have the knowledge and the way in which it goes out. So, for me it's an essential step. It is about the legitimacy of the work that we do. And I know that testing isn’t everybody's cup of tea. But it’s not the Sword of Damocles, after all. Again, for me the way in which you approach all of this is about where you’re at in your own process. It’s not like you have any choice. There really isn’t. All you can do is approach this as yourself, there is no other way. This is all that it is, it’s just process that is there. We all have this. I come from old school teaching. I know all of that. Like all of us, throughout my academic career I’ve faced all kinds of exams, ended up writing all kinds of exams. I understand. I understand the limitation of it as well. It is why the project is so important in what is the presentation. That is, this is a totally different thing. It is rounded, in that sense. But again, human beings, what it takes to trust in themselves. Here you are, you’ve all invested time and money. You have to begin to trust what it is that you are, trust in your uniqueness, trust in your cognition, and trust in your capacity. It's only then that truly you can begin to free yourself of the burden. The other thing is that so many beings, 65% of them have open heart centers, and open heart centers are devastating when confronted with measurement systems, the fear of being measured below anybody. But none of these grades are published. It’s not like everybody knows that you do. This is your trip. Again, I think that we have to get out of all that old seven-centered way of approaching things. We have to see that if one trust in oneself and one's corrected that whatever is going to go is going to be correct, it’s the way it is. And it’s not about the expectation or the identification or anything else that frames it all. It isn't. It’s about sitting back and watching your movie, this is part of the entertainment. And it's an essential thing to watch yourself in all of this, to watch yourself over this next week. You're lucky I didn’t make it a month from now, and then you go through a month of it. You only have a week. It’ll go by fast. Watch your movie as you go through this, because it's going to teach you a lot about yourself. It will. And it's a cleansing process on top of that. So, I’m all for it. Q: Ra, one of the other things is that yesterday you mentioned when projects would be due, and I think folks might like to know that that weren’t there. --- PAGE 51 --- LESSON THREE: Review & Test Preparation 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 43 A: Yes, it will be the middle of June. The third semester begins around the beginning of May, so the middle of June the projects will be due. That will give me enough time. I have an enormous number of projects that I’m going to have to review, so it will give me enough time so that I can go through all of them so that results are available before the end of the year. But yes, they will be due the middle of June. Q: Yes, you were talking about the process and I’m always forgetting if I’m left or right. Last night, I guess, told me that I’m right. I couldn’t sleep the whole night. I was freaked out because tests always freak me out. Then I realized today is my anniversary of my crushed leg, then I realized that I couldn't have the full attention last year because I was in rehabilitation. Anyway, it’s no use to start studying now what I would have done in 11 years and this is the first time that I said well, what I’ve taken in, it seems to be that I'm right and we’ll see what's left and what's there. This was really a night that was very interesting to me. I see it now because almost 11 years ago I had my Ph.D. exam and how different it is now. A: Yes, it’s very transforming. It’s one of the things about this whole process of preparing and seeing the difference from left to right. Discovering right-ness can relieve so much pressure, so much pressure, because of course this is the most horrendous conditioning that the right has to go through and they go through it from the moment they enter into the school system which is fundamentally strategic in the way in which it operates. It’s constantly focusing the student on this kind of way of preparing and studying and all of that. And of course, the poor right student, always feeling—it's the one that goes into the class always saying, oh, I don't know anything, ends up with results that are excellent, and doesn't know how it did it. And of course, because it doesn't know how that all worked it doesn't gain confidence from it all. They will still go back to the same I know I don't really know and I'm not really sure. And of course, the fact of the matter is that it's there. Remember that the mutation in the visual cortex changed the focusing from something that was outward to inward. In other words, the thing that makes the right unusual is the way in which information is stored. After all, the left only gets access to the information that is connected to its strategic perspective. But the right can gain access from anything, anything that is taking in. So the moment that the right stops being strategic, it starts increasing the quality of storage. It starts focusing on being able to store at more and more finite levels, which means that in response in any given subject it has a greater depth than the strategic could ever have, even if the strategic was focused on that one thing. This is the inherent advantage in what it is to be right. All of this is a shift in personality consciousness, after all, because that's what it takes. Because every time the right mind is confronted with something in which they're supposed to do research or find this out, the thing about them is that it is there, it’s all there. It’s a matter of it being drawn out. And of course, this is the ultimate thing about the nature of right-ness. It is why an examination is not a strategic element if you're actually correct in your right-ness. It --- PAGE 52 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 is doing precisely what the right needs. That is, it being stimulated to bring out its outer authority. So the question acts as that transpersonal phenomena drawing out the authority. As a matter of fact, the right is better equipped for testing than the left, because the left has to collect strategic knowledge. One thing at a time it learns and stores. This is the way the left works. And if it doesn't store enough things there are things that are going to be missing. It’s much more difficult, in that sense. It's why the left rarely, rarely is the Renaissance type, they're much more focused, and they’re much more oriented towards something very, very specific. So we’re dealing with different kinds of beings with a different kind of self-reflected consciousness. Again, all of this is part of your experiment. It’s like those people that get a psychology degree and they have to go on the couch themselves, they go through the process. This is part of your process, because it is a challenge. And yet at the same time, the level of correctness that you can apply into this experience, the reward is on the other side of it, to see what that brings, because that's what it's about, particularly if you’re right. As I said, if you’re left your passenger has to be able to see objectively your weakness. This is a key. And the moment the passenger can see the weakness then you know what you have to focus on. And you can keep on adding those bits of focusing on this thing and focusing on the next thing. But if you’re right, as I said, the best approach for the right is to work. Just work with the knowledge, work with the knowledge in the way that you would anyway, whether it's pondering it or doing something with somebody or answering somebody's question or whatever the case may be, just use your facility. And then enter into that environment at that time as yourself. That’s the fun of all this, because there has to be a kick to it, there’s a kick to it. Right Minded Children So many children who are right minded, what they suffer. My eldest son, Loki, is right minded. He's in the middle of his preparation examinations for the completion of his 11th year before he goes to college. I've told him, and he knows. He just pays attention in class. This is what he does. He pays attention and he’s good at it, he pays attention. He enjoys the process. He takes it in. Study isn't something that he even comes close to doing. It is not healthy for him and he knows, and he does well. And he's relaxed with that methodology because it's something that he's learned from me from a very early point, from the moment he started being tested. Our children suffer deeply from this. Half of the children coming into the world are right. They're suffering terribly by not being allowed to discover the power within themselves and to be able to trust in that power. That those of us on the left, we have to continue honoring what is our gift. And I say those of us because I'm left. For me it's clear that it this focus that penetrates one thing at a time. This is what it is. This is what it is to be focused, what it is to be strategic. --- PAGE 53 --- LESSON THREE: Review & Test Preparation 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 45 Q: Ra, you’re describing the way I’ve been studying since I was a young child. I never really studied traditionally. But, this structure that this opportunity, for me I look at it as a structure that's going to show me something. I have no idea, something that I may not know. And it’s an opportunity to then look at it. So, it’s helpful as a right mind for me to have that structure, just to be sure I’m not forgetting anything. A: Well, I think it's the first time that that beings that are consciously left and right minded are approaching this kind of a challenge. And I think that that in and of itself is revolutionary. It simply is. [Written comment: because the knowledge is so fascinating, I had thought I would want to audit the 3rd year myself, just for the joy of it... and I have heard that others in the class feel the same way, so if we have to audit, its not so bad] A: That’s sweet, Jagruti. The door is always open, everybody knows that. You can audit these courses for the rest of your life if you want to, that’s not the point. And it is beautiful knowledge, we know that, but you're the first generation, after all. It’s quite an achievement. You’re the first ones that have to cross this barrier, which is also something that is interesting. Experientially for each of you within your own nature, it's an interesting process. I'm looking forward to it from the other side of that. I'm looking forward to the projects. I'm looking forward to seeing what gets transferred, because that's my job. My job is to transfer information. And your job is to differentiate it, to take it in and to make it your own and to see that process is something that is intriguing. There are many aspects to this that I'm really interested in. And of course, if all of you fail miserably, I’m just a shitty teacher. Q: Ra, I’d like to know what kind of problems does the left fixing brain have in the school setting, because I see a number of kids that experience problems with the volume of school work, that they’re left fixed. A: I think all of us know about left fixed kids. They’re the ones that there are two subjects in school that they’re brilliant in and the rest they sort of drag their ass. It's what happens with the left. It’s intended to focus strategically on something, so depending on the culture, the background, the trends, the friends, there are certain things that the left will put its full focus on and with the rest of it, it doesn't get the same kind of intensity and focus. So, most left students always end up with some things that they’re great in and other things that they’re relatively poor in. Q: Is that why in the preparation for the test the left needs to pay attention to where their weakness is so that they can balance it out, and the right just really covers the whole spectrum. A: Exactly, and of course, the real dilemma for the left is how aware are they of their weakness. You know that mean? In other words, it’s quite a thing in that sense to be able to see it. But this is what is so important because then you know how to balance it out. Then you know where you need to put your attention, where you --- PAGE 54 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 weren't interested or didn't, because if you are left and you're listening these lectures, there are something you're really going to vibrate to, and others that you won't. This is what it is to be left. Whereas, with the right there is just this breathing in of all of this and if you're not really together, there is a sense of confusion that can be there. Again, this is the marvel of having the infrastructure to be able to see the way we operate and to understand it and to relax into it, to relax into what is in fact our nature and our gift. The moment that we do that is the moment that we begin to get the kinds of healthy results we want. Q: Are you considering testing left and right separately and would we know about it? A: No, there's no need. It’s not that one is ultimately capable of getting a better result than the other simply because it's this or that; they're obviously very different from each other. But the test itself is actually neutral. It is simply neutral. So it doesn't matter. The other thing that I really like about this testing is that you're in your own aura, which is really something that's very nice. Obviously, this is on the honor system, but it's so Human Design, you really get to do this in your own skin. I think that's one of those attractive aspects of it. [Written question: Can we go through all questions first or do we need to fill in one after the other?] A: I honestly don't know the answer to that question, Elfriede, it’s a good question. I don't know. My assumption is that you can scroll back up, that is my assumption so that you can go back and forth. Again, I will check that. If there's anything unusual like that I will make a note in the examination notes at the time. But yes, I’ll take a look at that. It’s a good question. Well, I know that it is going to be interesting and an interesting week for you. For me it is the beginning of the realization of this vision that began so many years ago. It is very, very exciting. That is, that I’m closer and closer to the realization of that and it couldn't happen at a more important time. We are going through an unbelievable increase in traffic right now. It’s unexplainable, quite frankly. It is just the wave of what is going on in Human Design. There are so many people now wherever who are being introduced to this knowledge and who are beginning to perhaps consider experimenting with it. The fact that there is going to be an environment where they can truly be served is something that is not only special, but it's something that's absolutely necessary. You’re the ones that make it happen, after all. All of us together form the foundation of what that is all about, and what it's going to be able to provide for others. It's very exciting. I wish us all well in that; I wish you all good luck in your first candidate exam. And as I said, I'll be in the classroom. You can check in, by the way, and if there are any special things that I need to tell you beforehand, whatever, I don't think there will be, but nonetheless. But as I said, I’ll be there. --- PAGE 55 --- LESSON THREE: Review & Test Preparation 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 51 Lesson Six Rave Properties Okay, slowly but surely in our movie. I’m going to take you through a kind of generalized process. I did the same thing yesterday in PHS. I think it's important to be able to reframe what we have been looking at for years now in our work together. One of the things that we have to deal with, obviously, one of the things that is something that cropped up in terms of the testing was first of all the nature of what I was looking for. And so much of what was there is what is called Rave Property. When I was first developing the overall language for the presentation of the information and particularly in working with the development of AI, for me Rave Property has always represented the possibility that we can have departmentalized all of the various analytical aspects that are available to somebody trained in the knowledge. In other words, this is really the breakdown of all the different areas that we can look at in terms of what is significant in terms of the differentiation of a single holistic being. This is what a Rave Property is. And in most cases, the Rave Property is something that we've always been familiar with. That titling is there in Maia Mechanics, that is, in the basic programming, and that is the property of type and signature and profile. In other words, what we're looking at is the fundamental information that we need in terms of our analytical root in order to be able to do our work to be able to provide the services that we provide. Variable I spent a lot of time in working out the nature of the way in which this alignment would be established. AI for me, as you all well know, is something that was extremely important because it laid the bedrock for what would be the analytical vehicle for the future. In doing so it begins with variable. And it begins with variable because variable in fact is really the most perfect holistic statement of the vehicle. And variable, after all, is something that is deeply connected to the information base that is essential for us. That is, it is based on the internals and the externals, both personality and design. --- PAGE 60 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 And yet, because they represent a special grouping, one of 16 special groupings, that each of these groupings has a particular value. And that particular value is related to specifically about the importance of human beings being positioned correctly in order to take advantage, full advantage of their perceptual and mental gifts in order to be able to establish what is a viable outer authority that can benefit the totality, that is benefit consciousness as a whole. Obviously, variable is something that is an aspect of the knowledge that is relatively new, that the only course being dedicated to variable is one that I am doing presently. It is here at the top of the table, and yet at the same time I'm well aware of the fact that this is not something that you need to be responsible for. And what I mean by that is that variable is going to allow us to be able to explore many, many things in the future. Once we have collected a database, once we have been able to align certain phenomena with certain kinds of configurations, in other words, variable is not something that in the practical sense is viable to the general community anyway. It isn't. There are things that we can learn. This is what I am working with in the variable program, and by the way at the end of the semester we will get this put together so that it can be part of resource material that will be available to all of you. But the thing about what I want you to understand, because I know that you have concerns about the testing program, that this is not something that is a part of that. It is something that you need to be aware of, you need to be aware of obviously all of these aspects, but in many of them you need to have a great deal of depth. Obviously, it is essential that you have a great deal of depth in the other holistic generalization that we have. That is, variable represents our position in terms of the way in which the consciousness program is set up and type represents a specific --- PAGE 61 --- LESSON SIX: Rave Properties 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 53 generalization of a specific kind of vehicle and the way it's intended to function. And we have a great deal of information with this particular property. The Signature You'll also notice that in the alignment here, that is, beginning with variable and type, that the next step is the signature and it is the signature of the type. Like so many things having to do with Human Design and the depth of this knowledge, sometimes it can take decades to actually realize certain information. I think one of the most important aspects in type work today and the kind of thing that should be part of the information stream of analysts who are learning Design, who are learning how to work professionally in Design is an understanding of the signature both as how the signature applies to the type itself in terms of the general sense of the type, how it applies to the type sexually, how important is the value of signature and the value of signature opposed to what is listed last, because after all the rest is birth data, what is listed last, which is the not-self theme and the journey to bring somebody from that not-self theme of anger and bring them to that place of peace. So, you can tell by the hierarchy of the positioning here that signature is given a great deal of importance. And I think that it's important for all of you come to take that into consideration. That is, to be clear that you understand what the signature is. It’s something for you to ponder, after all. When we talk about the benefits of operating correctly as oneself, one of the signposts because I love signposts, if you don't have signposts you have no way to really be able to judge where you're going in a unique journey, because it's a unique journey, you cannot compare it to somebody else. To be able to understand the signature is to be able to give you that signpost. I’m a manifestor and I know that the not-self manifestor was an angry being. I remember that angry being. It wasn’t always angry, but the anger was always there. No question about it. And now, after all these years, I am somebody that has truly been fortunate enough that my signature is my life. It doesn't mean, by the way, that chemically as a manifestor that anger doesn't arise. I have my anger many moments, because there are many moments, it's a chemistry, it’s short, it’s gone. But, the awareness within myself of the transition in my life between the quality of the anger of my experience to what it is today. This is an extraordinary thing and it's very rewarding as a signpost as you move towards your signature. The classic of the Generator that truly feel satisfied in what they are doing. There is nothing more beautiful. I can only speak from the wisdom I have from my open sacral, but there is nothing like a satisfied sacral. It's the sweetest vibration there is. And in its enveloping-ness it can have an enormous comforting impact on the environment around it. Satisfaction is such a profound thing. --- PAGE 62 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 Priority Is Given to the Vehicle Again, to understand this list, these properties, there is no randomness to the alignment of them in terms of the way in which they’re positioned. Obviously, what we are going to be concerned with is what has not been general education, because basically all of this is general education. And again, I frame that aside, the type, the signature, the profile, the definition, the inner authority, the incarnation cross, all of the things that we’re familiar with from general Human Design approach to analysis. Obviously, where the pressure is in terms of coming to grips with the information, and again, you can see that what follows the general information is the design information, the PHS oriented information. Again, you can see that there is a priority here in the structuring that is given to the vehicle, because after all if the vehicle isn’t right, nothing is going to be right. So, in this movement we’re actually looking at a kind of trajectory that ultimately takes us to the areas that we are working with. And of course, the areas that we are working with are really everything that fits into this box and down below. And obviously there are elements in this box, and I will make it easier because I will move this illustration, that this information here, and I'm going to just slipped past the strategy and the not-self theme which obviously is very much part of your general knowledge, and to focus on these five areas, because these five areas, these five properties are very, very important. The Sense Now, I know that in the exam there was confusion. And by the way, some of that confusion was also abetted by the fact that the programming was faulty and the personality was showing design cognition, which was changed with that last upgrade. If you go back to our original work, if you go back to all of the early illustrations in the first year, if you go back to the tonal information as it related to the personality, here is what the tone brings in terms of what is called the Sense. And so you can see here, for example, that sense, the security, and that security the result of the tonal information, the fact that the tone is a 1 and out of that 1 you get the sense, this security sense. --- PAGE 63 --- LESSON SIX: Rave Properties 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 55 Now, there have been some confusion and again, I guess as always, it's awhile back for all of us when we were dealing with this information. And again, the digital books are available so you are able to go through this and reassess it. But basically, one of the things to always recognize is that we're talking about the cognitive style of the personality. It's the cognitive style of the personality. Remember that we’ve looked at many, many different ways in which the actual mental process finally works. That is, the mental process that in terms of the way in which the personality is constructed, the way it’s designed to filter through its crystal, the way in which its perspective is oriented, the way in which that orientation is dependent on experientially the database of information that is rooted in the lunar and planetary square, all of this feeds what we call the mind. What in essence, behind that veil is the passenger. A Style of Mind And the thing to recognize about the Sun/Earth, about the internal, is that we're looking at a style of mind. It's a style. The substance is elsewhere. The substance is here or the substance is here, but the substance is elsewhere. In other words, the material that makes up the database, what the style of mind is going to use, whether it's a left mind or a right mind, whether it's going to be strategic or whether it's going to be receptive, what kind of a style is it going to have. In a sense, you get to see that very clearly. In other words, the style is going to be influenced by the theme of security. Things are going to be seen through the prism of security. This is the sensory quality that it brings to the way in which mind is going to operate. --- PAGE 64 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 It’s very important for us to understand something that we are a binary consciousness. And the way the cognition serves the vehicle is different than the way in which cognition serves the personality. It's different. The way in which it serves the vehicle is to provide the direction for the vehicle's positioning. But the way in which it serves the personality is that it gives it a particular angle, if I can put it that way, the security angle. The security angle is going to be very much a part of the style—again the line, the color, whatever the style, the cross—what that particular personality is going to display. You know that the mind is going to be concerned with security. So remember that when you're looking at the issue of sense, what you're looking at is the tonal cognition and the way the tonal cognition is going to be utilized by the personality. Most of the time when you think about tone, you tend to think about what the trajectory is going to be; in other words, is it going to be moving from left to right or right to left in terms of its trajectory. And you often forget the basic value that is there that is so important. The meditative mind is very different from the uncertain mind. And a personality that always displays its uncertainty when in fact that’s a style and doesn't mean they're uncertain at all. Understanding the Mechanism and Being Familiar with All the Keys I want to take you into a sort of a visual guide to the elements that we're looking at and to begin to give them some visual familiarity to you so that you can see basically that in a sense what you're looking at here is what you need to understand. All the basic elements are there, other than the general stuff, obviously. And some you’re intended to understand much better than others. We've looked at, for example, variable, but again, the way in which your approach to variable is that you need to master the components that make up the variable, the internals and the externals. And in that sense, being grounded in what that potential or possibility happens to be. But you’re not going to use this analytically with your client. You're going to note their variable, because ultimately as I said, that can end up being very, very interesting in terms of the potential benefits that can bring us in being able to use mechanics to be of service. The same thing is going to be true with base orientation and I'll get to that in a moment or so. What the real core is, the obvious core, is that it is very, very important to be able to have this box in here and to be able to understand the mechanisms and to be familiar with all the keys. This is your guide, in that sense. Those of you that are concerned about what you need to prepare for or what you need to study or what you need to understand, it is here in this illustration. This is the basics of what has been introduced to you during our time together in this program. The only thing that is missing in here is the deck of cards and I should really add it to the mix so that we really have—it’s just that it’s very difficult, as you can tell, you'll find that when you download the PowerPoint you'll get a much bigger --- PAGE 65 --- LESSON SIX: Rave Properties 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 57 image so it's much easier to read. On my monitor it’s not an easy thing to read. And so I didn’t want to crowd it with too many things, but obviously in terms of Rave Psychology, the conditioning elements within the bodygraph are very, very important material and very important to understand. The Process of the Center But let's take a look here and just to make sure that we follow along in this movie. You can see that first of all we have the alignment of the motivation and the transference. And we know that one of the most important things that we are going to introduce to our clients, that is, to those that are going to enter into our programming—and by the way, I've been giving the Center a great deal of thought. I am developing all kinds of areas in terms of preparing for all this for September. What I'm working on now, because our third semester together is not about learning anything new. I want you to really understand that we’re really at the end. Most of what I will do with you from now until the end of the semester is consolidating the information to make sure that you're comfortable with it because next semester I want to work on the way in which we are going to offer the knowledge and I want to work on that in detail. --- PAGE 66 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 58 The Center is not a reading environment, and it is not intended to be a reading environment. What I mean by that is it’s not a one-off environment that you come in the door and you get some kind of reading and you leave. I'm developing various kinds of programs that will be available to somebody—one of the most interesting things about the center is that it's going to be staffed by a 24 hour a day live human receptionist; not the same person, by the way, but nonetheless, it’s really a human environment. And anyone who comes to the Center for the very first time, their design history is a part of their registering for the Center. After all, the center is for those people who are experimenting with their design, so we need to know their design. We need to know their design history, if they had a reading, which is necessary, and who did they have the reading with. It is one of those elements that is very important for me in terms of the way in which this environment operates. And entering into the process, for example, entering into Rave Psychology, rather than getting some kind of a reading, basically you would be scheduled for an introductory class which would probably be a small group who would all be newcomers, who would all be scheduled for an introductory class so that they get a basic background of what can be done for them within the program itself, what things are available. And then after that, each of them is scheduled to have a meeting with one of the staff members of the Center. In that meeting, a relationship is established. It's important to find out what their interest really is in terms of PHS, do they have physical problems, what are those problems, the various kinds of things that you need to find out about any client that you're going to deal with holistically. And at the same time, be able to see how they're doing in terms of their experiment. In other words, it is a personal encounter in order to begin the establishment of a relationship. It's only after that that they get scheduled for what would be the beginning of the process. Now in our work, obviously, one of the areas that needs to be dealt with is that we have to deal with the depth of the deconditioning information. How important it is to work with the client and to go into all of those areas in depth, it’s not a reading, after all, to really probe into those areas in an interactive environment with them. All staff members of the Center will have their own interactive office, to have the ability to be able to do this kind of intense personal working together. I am trying to give you a flavor of what I see as a community environment in which the participation in it is an ongoing process and one that is properly designed so that clients go through a process that is fundamentally rewarding and beneficial for them. Once this whole introductory process—you've gone through that process—because again in order for us to really work with the mind you do need somebody who's truly dedicated to the process. This is not a casual thing. We will offer educational classes, the kinds of general things that will support a certain level of interest. But for those who are really going to want to go fully into the process they really need to be dedicated to that process. And then we can begin with introducing them to what is here, that is, dealing with color transference. --- PAGE 67 --- LESSON SIX: Rave Properties 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 59 Color Transference I've tried to stress a lot, I guess, over all of these years that perhaps the most important technique that I've taught you in Rave Psychology has been in a working with color transference and recognizing it. It has an enormous impact on the passenger. It really is the way in which you crack the shell. There isn't any other way. It takes enormous focus to catch it. It does. It takes enormous focus to catch it because the not-self habits of the mind are very deep. Yet, the moment that you do catch it each time it gets easier and easier and easier. This is an enormous accomplishment, because basically what is happening is that the whole orientation of the passenger consciousness is changing. It’s changing from trying to control the life to absorbing the life. It’s very different. Taking the life in, meeting the life, because I don’t want to confuse left/right terminology. This is a very, very different perspective for the passenger. The passenger has never been allowed to indulge in its filtering gift. There is all this layering of the personality conditioning, the not-self, all that stuff, and the passenger just doesn't get a chance. So, transference is something that is the bedrock of the beginning of what is not our therapeutic work with the client. I think one of things that you can begin to sense from what I feel is the correct approach for the Center is that it is very educational in its approach. It is very supportive. --- PAGE 68 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 Yet, at the same time knowing the passenger as we do, that the passenger needs the education, it needs to get the information, the accurate information in order to be able to bolster its own process. The passenger is a victim of the not-self, after all. So, the moment that the passenger begins to get the inside information, the moment it begins to catch a glimpse of the folly, again, this is an enormous accomplishment. Now, it's clear to us that we know where we find the motivation. That is, we find motivation in the color. Obviously, if we're dealing with is at the simplest level, one of the basic things for us to understand is that the quality of it, that is, the nature of desire is only correct when it is cognitively correct. There is no other way. That is, the desire that we experience on this plane happens to be people that have the 6th color who are in transference. So, we get the non-cognitive desire, the blind desire, the dumb desire. And again remember something, that when you can recognize that kind of transference in yourself you get a deep, deep, deep look into the dilemma of the not-self consciousness, because you see it exposed in the other. Capture Frequency Remember, you get it from the other. It is the other that is always triggering it. It’s always lying there. But again, this goes back to the importance of understanding capture frequency, how important it is, and by the way, those of you that are in Rave Cosmology not tomorrow, but next week, I will do a whole lecture on the capture nature of the monopole. The moment that you really grasp this capture frequency, how funny it is that the monopole for all its greatness, and it is really great, that the monopole is totally and absolutely dependent on the frequency of the holistic being. Isn’t that odd? Here's the monopole that engineers the whole story. And yet at the same time, the monopole becomes locked into what it creates. It is not a master of the vehicle. The holistic vehicle, if it doesn't operate correctly, the frequency is not correct, the monopole cannot capture properly. We get transference. Transference cuts off cognition. And the monopole cannot save itself. You could say that this is the ultimate challenge of awareness. And of course, without the Voice we never would've gotten to this ourselves. We never would have figured it out. I thank my lucky stars every day; we never would've figured any of this stuff out, none of it. So we end up with the ability to see inside of the program. And you look at the wheels in the way that they turn and you realize all you have to do is follow your strategy and authority. You begin to strip the mind of its power. You can't do anything with the mind. As long as the authority of the vehicle is not being honored, you can’t do anything. That is the foundation. That’s why it's very important in the Center that we’re not working with those they really do not appreciate what this is all about. It’s why that not simply that they have had gone through reading and hopefully they've had more time to digest it than to simply running from a reading. But an introduction that takes them very carefully to make sure that they're properly --- PAGE 69 --- LESSON SIX: Rave Properties 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 61 integrated within their own process, that they’re clear about what the priorities are for them as they move through this process. Obviously, what we're dealing with is that transference is something that dominates on this plane. The transference level is so thick that you can't think of it as anything else. And of course, out of that is the tragedy that we are not guided by the physical cognition that is there to guide us, that we end up a rambling along with our personality screaming: go this way, go that way. The Tone When we're looking at the tonal relationship to color, the total relationship is bringing us either to a trajectory that will move in one direction or the other. So, if we’re looking at the tone here and we're dealing with a 1st tone, we’re going to be pulled over to the left side so that means that the trajectory is going to be going from follower to leader. And it is going to go through follower to leader with a 1st tone sense which is going to be security. In other words, that the style of which that personality is going to operate through its motivation to move from follower to leader, the desire to be locked in, is that this is going to be a big factor—security. And remember that when you're looking at --- PAGE 70 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 trajectory, what you're looking at is if it's left, that is, if it's brought by the tonal left, then you know that the trajectory starts from the right; and obviously, the other way around when it's the other way around. The External Again, the information is all here. This has been part of a major aspect of our work for a long time now. What is relatively new, and yet deeply, deeply significant is the external. Again, in the sixth semester you were introduced to the external. Yet, for me the external is a something that I'm discussing regularly now in Variables that the external is such an extraordinary thing. It is so important for our well-being. It is so important for the future for the ones who are going to come. It is of enormous importance. It isn't to say that everything else isn’t. Again, don’t get carried away by my drama. I tend to be external oriented these days because I'm just in awe, literally, of what it represents and in a sense how sad it is. I see that in variable, because variable is anchored by environment. I look at the plan and I see that human beings just aren’t where they're supposed to be. And they’re not where they're supposed to be, so they’re not seeing what they're supposed to see, they're not living the way they're supposed to live, they’re not eating the way their supposed to eat. And it's no wonder that the homogenized consciousness is so deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply limited. The View These views are something that are deeply, deeply significant within the context of the way in which the independent variable or the foundation for the consciousness, the way in which that is set up. Nothing influences the mind as much as the view. It is very, very deeply influential on the mind. And it is something to really grasp. Here is this view and this view is the view of power. Now, think about what that really means. It means that if this being is operating correctly they’re a follower that has to move up the ladder and become a leader using their security theme as their driving mechanism, their driving focus, if you will, driven by the desire and seeing in that the potential, seeing how power can be accumulated, seeing how you can get into a position of power, seeing what you can do with that power. Power then becomes a trip of the style of the mind. It becomes its trip. You have to have power to be secure. And if you don't have power you can't move from being a follower to leader. --- PAGE 71 --- LESSON SIX: Rave Properties Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 63 The Difference Between Left-ness and Right-ness Perhaps the most important area and the most generalized area of our responsibility is the deep understanding of the difference between left-ness and right-ness, and the difference between left-ness and right-ness as it has to do with the internal and has to do with the external. We are a very complex configuration. That’s what makes variable so fascinating is that you see all of that complexity distilled into a formula. And if you actually fulfill that formula and place that being correctly as themselves with their correct view and all the accouterment that goes with it, that's where the potential for outer authority is, that’s where they become the source of what is a pure differentiated truth. When we’re dealing with the external to begin with, and we are looking at the difference between the left and the right, the difference is the density the view. For example, if you're left, you're going to be focused on a certain aspect or display of power. You may not be interested in all power. You'll see that if you had 10 things in front of you, you'd focus on one and figure if I can get power here then I can use this as a stepping stone, and so forth and so on. In other words, the strategic view, and that focused, focused perspective. If you're dealing with it on the right side you're dealing with a theme of peripheral. In other words, here is somebody that is not just interested in a display of power or in a row to power or in a powerful action, but this is somebody that's taking it all in; all of it. And when I say all of it, Human Design is a duality. To take in all of it is not just to see as a view to see power but to see powerlessness—possibility and impossibility, survival and terminality, wanting and lacking, probability or improbability, personal or impersonal. The fundamental duality here in the right, you get the whole enchilada, it’s all there, the whole thing, which means that necessarily it can be more difficult for the mind to through its style take advantage of it all. For example, if you're dealing in a situation, here it is not, because when you’re dealing with the differences because the differences can create different kinds of dilemmas, that is, if you're right in terms of your view and you happen to be left in terms of the way in which your style operates, the style of your mind, that it is a strategic mind, it’s overwhelmed. So basically what happens is that this strategic mind has many strategies, but not a single strategy that is really the big enough focus, and in that is a potential for confusion. Again, unless they are operating correctly, only then is whatever their configuration, because there's no configuration that’s better or worse than the other, it is simply about whether it is going to operate efficiently or not. When we are dealing with the internal itself we’re really dealing with a real style. It’s the best way to describe that. And it is the difference between the strategic personality and the receptive personality. And we know that this is the great mutation, this is what we are as a transitional form, we are the possibility of both of these and they are very different from each other. And the strategic personality is --- PAGE 72 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 always going to be concerned with its particular survival. It is one of the inherent themes of the strategic of the left because the left is always dependent on the splenic binary tonally. So we’re always dealing with in strategy themes of survival that lead to themes of conquering and all this stuff that we can get into. The Right Minded Personality We have the emergence of the right since 1781. And the dilemma for the receptive is that the receptive is very, very poor at survival techniques. And of course, this has created a deep insecurity in them, and one of the reasons that they’re so heavily homogenized and conditioned. And of course, one of the things that we have to see about the right mind is that the personality right mind can benefit not simply from strategy and authority, but very important that they are introduced to PHS. This is one of the exceptions to the rule about PHS, because we do it backwards. For me it makes sense that you finish your seven-year cycle. This is something you’re really ready for. But there are a lot of exceptions, and one of the most important exceptions is the right minded personality. To be able to provide it with the sensory infrastructure and the efficiency in the brain system in order for them to begin to gain access to something that has really has been smothered so that they can begin to take advantage of whatever their particular cognitive gift happens to be. After all, this sense that is here is a deep cognitive gift. This is the ability of this mind to probe deeply into the dilemmas of security, depending on what the configuration happens to be. But of course, all of this again is only possible when we have the disengagement of mind so that it is possible for the passenger. It goes back to understanding that personality transference is something that a being must become conscious of in order to get any further in that process. Now, one of the things that I hope will emerge out of the Center over time is techniques to help people with this. That’s not my thing, but there are many, many people in Human Design and many people who are trained at this level who has experience with all kinds of therapeutic approaches and so forth and so on that perhaps can be tailored or mutated to be able to help people recognize transference when it's taking place. It’s a huge step forward. Personality Base Orientation And of course, for us one of those essential ingredients that we need to be aware of in terms of what I'm looking for in testing, leaves us with the final aspect and this is personality base orientation. In The History Geometry where this material is covered in detail, the digital books are available; again, this is an area of the knowledge that will only benefit from years and years of our involvement and ultimate research. It is exceedingly important knowledge and I think one that ultimately is going to be very, very beneficial for us. But what my only concern with in terms of what you --- PAGE 73 --- LESSON SIX: Rave Properties 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 65 understand about variable or what you understand about base orientation is that you understand how we get to it mechanically. In other words, if you see DLL/PLL you know what that is, you know the mechanics of it. In other words, it's the mechanical part that is important. So to begin with base orientation, obviously you need to understand what the linking node is, because this is all done through the link nodes in order to be able to establish what in fact the orientation is going to be. Personality orientation is different from design orientation. In design orientation, the 3 is in the center. In personality orientation, the 5 is in the center. What we have here is that when you take the personality link node out and you replace it with the design link node, what you're looking for is the combinations, the actual combinations of the four remaining base orientation, the orientation that you can see in the corners there. And what you get out of that is, for example, here the Sun/Earth, which is always exactly the same Sun/Earth, this is a base orientation that is to the 4th base, the link node is a 4th base and you can see that the personality north node is a 1st base. So what you get is a 1-4, that 1-4 is known as a binary. And what that binary basically means is that this is a mind that is rooted in taking in two different kinds of information. Now, let's say that they were right minded. It would be very helpful to understand this, because what we learn from base orientation is who we can impact and who impacts us. In other words, if this person with their 1-4, the thing to recognize is that they are impacted by 1s and they are impacted by 4s. In other words, that's who they have a tendency to communicate to, that's who they have a tendency to pay attention to. Now of course, that's interesting. Now, it’s not that you can map everybody around you, in that sense. Again, it is one of the things to understand the mechanics at this level that this is something that has to be there because it's part of the way everything works. What I want from you at this stage is simply to be able to pull together what it is mechanically. In other words, to be able to figure out what is the base orientation and figuring out the base orientation, what kind of base orientation. You can see that there's a number. You can have a singular where it's all the same orientation. You can have binaries. You can have like we have here. You can have binary separation. That would be like the 1 or the 2 that they can't get to each other, in that sense. Or you have focused. Any three aligned together will create a focus and the focus is always going to be whatever is in the middle. And obviously, this is where the focused attention is going to be. This is where the focus to receptivity is going to be. Yet, at the same time there will still be interest on the other side. What we get from base orientation as we do from variable is the way we’re designed to communicate our outer authority to the totality. In other words, where we fit in in order to be able to hold up whatever is our specific responsibility in the way in which the program is laid out. It's very beautiful. It would be wonderful if I could be the omnipotent God, and sorry Randy, but I'm not, if I can be the omnipotent God and I --- PAGE 74 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 could start a new planet and I could lay all this out from the moment anybody was born, you sort of Google their position on the planet and you put them there until you build what is the web of all of this. And of course, all along they all have their design and their PHS and everything else, and then we'd see consciousness. Outer Authority Put it this way. If you think my particular intelligence is interesting, imagine if there were billions of us, because that's what this is. That's what's possible in each of us; truly it’s so. It doesn't matter about what it is, it is simply the fact that the unique expression of outer authority, when it is absolutely correct, this is an absolute, this is a truth. It is something that is interesting. The beautiful thing about outer authority is that outer authority for all its beauty is not intended to have power. It isn’t. It isn’t intended to have power at all. It is intended to be good information; interesting, good solid honest real information, unique. All we have is a vast homogenized pool. All of these elements, if you go back for a moment, if you don't have that and you take the two orientations, and they are not correct, yes, you could follow your strategy and authority, but it can only take you so far. And we know that that's the nature of the planet. We know the depth of the malaise in the planet, that it's just an information mess. And we don't have the collective consciousness that is filled with the bounty of unique outer authority. We don't. So, everything about our process, everything about what we are responsible for in the work that we do, we’re responsible for the information that we have to impart to those that are going to seek our help. And the deeper that we understand any of this—the information that is here in this 2, this really has to be natural for you, because this is the most important information that you're dealing with on an ongoing basis in terms of deeply understanding the various kinds of personalities that you're going to be able to work with and how to work with them. It’s the basic information along with what we learned in the first year about the nature conditioning. Because remember, the Center itself, when somebody enters the psychology wing of the Center, the emphasis is on making sure that the openness in their design is something that is really being dealt with. This is one of the most important aspects of our early work with somebody. Again, as I said, I am working on laying out the approach, because basically people are going to be brought into a program; it isn't simply going to be an analysis. And one of the most important areas of that goes back to the fundamental work that we did in year one, because we did in year one the two very, very important things. We elaborated in all of the conditioning potentials that are there. When you're dealing with the personality, when you're dealing with potential of the passenger, you cannot overlook them the way you do in a reading. In other words, in reading you don't have to cover everything, you don't have to deal with the ins and outs and nuances of the hanging gates and what they bring and the “this and that” and the depth of the conditioning elements that are there. These are things that are very important. --- PAGE 75 --- LESSON SIX: Rave Properties 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 67 The Dream Rave The other thing, and something that I will review before we close this semester, is to make sure that all of you are reminded of the importance of being able to look at a dream rave and being able to see where the deepest conditioning element is. This is something that's very important because it's going to deeply impact anyone in terms of a source of primary conditioning in their openness. The Foundation of Working with the Client What we did in the beginning is in fact the foundation for what we do with the client. In other words, first we work with them in terms of making sure that all of that openness is dealt with, which is basically an individual educational process in which you therapeutically take somebody through dealing with their conditioning step-by- step in their process. And because this is interactive, each aspect is something that can be discussed. It's something that can be dealt with. In other words, it is very important to see that the foundation for somebody before they can even be introduced to color transference, the foundation for them is to be clear that they are in their process of following their strategy and authority and they are in the beginning or the opening of the process of educating their passenger, of introducing them to the depth of the conditioning. And remember, as you go deeper and deeper into the conditioning what you're also doing is that you're strengthening their determination to stay with their process, which is very important, because each aspect that you reveal because all of them will be something that they're aware of, each aspect that you reveal strengthens their commitment to what is their ongoing process. And once you're clear that they are very aware of the basic conditioning elements, the crown jewel of that is color transference. This is what leads naturally to beginning the technique of turning their mind to recognize, to be the observer, to begin to take in instead of wondering what to do. Well, I hope all of that was helpful for you and brought you a little more clarity. I think it's always good to sort of throw the whole picture together and get to see everything all at once and see all these pieces of what we have been working with and see it with continuity. It was a bit fast. Yes, what to do, that is me. But we still have time and you have the recording. But anyway, to all of you, you take care and until next time, bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 76 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 69 Lesson Seven Motivation and Transference Welcome to all of you—so many of you are downloading—to the few of you that are here. You can see by the subject that we’re entering into different phase and a different phase that is going to take us to the end of the semester. We’re already into the second half of this semester. As Alok was mentioned before the class, the only new things that are still being introduced is limited to the variable program. The fact is that there is nothing in terms of basic information that is important at this point relative to where we are going, that it is important to bring at this point. What’s very important for me is that we consolidate the knowledge that we've taken in over these years and consolidate it in a way in which you are comfortable with what is the whole examination process and all of these things that you have a basic grounding that you need. I have been working on for quite a while now; it's a long- term vision for me. The Center for Human Differentiation began years ago when I first began introducing PHS. It gets closer and closer now to fruition and as such the success of the Center is going to be dependent on the professionalism and proficiency of those that are involved. Next semester is entirely focused on the programs that will be offered in the Center and the way in which these programs are to be presented to clients, the way in which the left and the right to going to be dealt with, and so forth and so on. In other words, the professional tools necessary to be able to deliver the knowledge base is what we are going to be working with when we get to the next semester. What I want to be able to do now is I want to be able to make sure that we are really grounded in the basic tools that are necessary for us in the work that we are going to be required to do. When I started with you I started with the not-self, as I said I’m going to do that next week. I'm doing this the other way around for a reason. That is, at the very basis of why Rave Psychology exists is that there is mechanical evidence that it is possible to awaken a human passenger. Lao Tzu said that if you can know yourself you are already enlightened. I tend to think that there is great truth in that, but it is not the same as awakeness. Motivation and Transference We see what it means to be self-aware in the sense that in following strategy and authority and being able to have a basic grasp of your own nature, how that frees you from so many of the burdens that are inflicted upon the not-self life. I look at --- PAGE 78 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 transference, motivation and transference, as one of the most startling things that has emerged out of this knowledge; startling. It is the only technique that has ever existed as far as I can tell from my perspective, the only technique that has ever existed that actually has the ability of being able to prepare the passenger for awakeness. Now, that's quite a statement. When I look at motivation and transference in relationship to the personality and the transformation of the personality it is here that I see the foundation of what is possible. I'm not interested in empty promises. I'm not, I'm not. I'm not interested in fooling people with interesting information. I'm not. What drives me to be involved with Rave Psychology as opposed to PHS, because PHS is a given, the vehicle can be healed; there is no question about it. And in the healing of the vehicle lies all kinds of potential for a really decent life. But for the passenger this thing that has never truly been grasped, that has always been hidden behind the veils of distorted homogenized not-self personality consciousness; that to be able to break through here, this is finally being able to do something not for the meat, but to do something for the essence of what we are. All the work in Human Design, the vast journey that one has to take, that journey of going from being a deeply homogenized being to somehow having an opportunity to begin the process of breaking away from that step by step along the process, all of it is in the vehicle, all of it is the benefit of the vehicle's life. The authority is lost to the --- PAGE 79 --- LESSON SEVEN: Motivation and Transference 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 71 vehicle. And it is only then, because it is truly a magical thing, that it is only when the mind has been stripped, this dysfunctional personality, has been stripped of the vanity of its control and its folly, can the door be opened up. And it has to be opened up. It is not something that just happens. You can follow your strategy and authority to the end of your days and it doesn't mean that you're ever going to break through the veneer, the walls, the illusions, the tricks of the not-self mind. The Drive to Digest Data But there’s something extraordinary here. It is what the pattern gave us, this incredible burning drive to digest data. The personality crystal is this incredible digester of data. And for us finally to be able to see what it really looks like when the ocean goes through that filter and there is no bullshit between the filtering and the delivery of outer authority. We have a technique. And obviously that has to be a key in not simply the knowledge that you need, but a journey that the other has to be able to begin to take. I don't intend to lecture through these classes, as the PHS group found out yesterday. I think it is very important that I get to hear what you have to say. And --- PAGE 80 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 that you get to hear what others have to say, and that we can begin experiencing what is the collective depth of what is here. So, I'm going to begin by going to our focus point. And that focus point is what motivation is. Would somebody like to tell me what personality motivation is? Personality Motivation A: Well, the motivation is fear. Ra: Oh, there is no question about that. That is absolutely right. But I'm asking actually a very general question. Let's say that you're talking to a client and you're trying to explain to that client what motivation is. What is it? A: Well, it’s all about them being motivated to investigate and the fear is the driving motivation to have answers and to have security through their investigation. Ra: Again, that's correct, but perhaps is the way I’m phrasing my question. Mechanically speaking what exactly is personality motivation? A: Technically speaking, it is the color underlying the line which provides the motivation, the driving force of the motivation on the personality crystal. Ra: Yes, that is true. But what is the color carrying? A: I would say that motivation is what drives the cognitive process of the personality recognizing who it thinks it is and whether that motivation is something that aligns it to its form, to the signature of its type, to its nature or whether it is something that is just pulling because it is just not the genuine motivation, so the psychological driving force behind the personality realizing who it thinks it is. Ra: Absolutely right and at the very beginning of your description you really describe the essence of it. It is very, very important that we always remember what capture frequency is because capture frequency and the nature of the monopole is at the core of this whole process. And in order for us to be able to understand what, in fact, transference is, let alone motivation, we need to understand the nature of the capture frequency, what in fact is being captured. Technically speaking, what exactly is color? A: If I had a client who didn't know much about this, I would say to them that color motivation is the way in which the personality expresses itself, the kind of style it makes itself understood and communicates with the other verbally. --- PAGE 81 --- LESSON SEVEN: Motivation and Transference 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 73 What is Color? Ra: Okay, I'll do that one more time. Technically, what is color? A: Isn’t it the correct frequency as it comes out of the personality crystal if there isn’t not-self behavior going on? Ra: Exactly. It’s something for us really to grasp. Color is a delivery system. That’s what it is. It delivers what Alok referred to, it delivers the cognitive source. This is the underlying theme. But the whole thing about color is to understand that it is the communicator. It is the transfer of the information. All right, so we have color. In this particular case, can anyone tell me about this 1st color? A: The intelligence of knowing how to survive. The 1st Color Ra: Okay, first of all we know that the 1st color is fear. That’s clear, but I'm looking for something deeper than that. I'm looking for not just simply one answer, but each of you in one way or another has a different way in which you look at this. So, when you're looking at this 1st color, what are you looking at? A: I feel that the 1st color has to do with whether a person is going to feel safer when they’re around other people, or whether they are going to feel safer when they’re alone. And that this is constantly fluctuating for them. Sometimes they feel safer alone, sometimes they feel safer in a community context. But in this case, the trajectory is towards the right so the person is generally going to be trying to get away from the influx of an overwhelming psychic input, to be safer by themselves. Ra: Yes, exactly. We have, and I’ve opened this us so I make it a lot easier for you that I put all the keys out there for you and obviously the keys that we’re going to be looking at is the motivation, the sense and the transference. One of the interesting aspects was that the terminology used in the Rave Property, that is, the terminology of sense, I felt that there was a lack of ease with that. Some people were actually confused by it. And of course, it is one of the things to see that when you're looking at the tonal architecture and you look at it through the personality you're not seeing the smell and taste and inner vision and outer vision, so forth and so on. You’re getting the personality quality of the way in which the cognitive impact impacts the personality. --- PAGE 82 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 74 The 4th Tone Somebody give me an insight for example into the fact that we have a 4th tone. A: Well, it is meditation and it is right fixed, so this person has no agenda in what they are taking in and they are taking in the whole peripheral field of vision without any particular focus and that can be accessed. But they aren’t designed to offer something without it being drawn from them. What is Tonal Trajectory? Ra: Yes, that’s very good news. Somebody explain to me what trajectory is. A: It seems to me in this case that the person is going to be very motivated through transference to try to integrate themselves with the social or with a social situation. Then they go and make all kinds of not-self decisions to get involved with things that they actually can’t follow through with and become literally a huge mess in the world. So, there is this huge mental anxiety that begins to build up because they actually need to follow their strategy in order to get integrated with the social situation or not according to their design and their authority. The 4th tone seems to lead to a kind of pretty spacey idealism which if the cognition, or the mediation isn’t followed where they have enough detachment and just attach themselves into any situation willy-nilly, it creates a huge mess otherwise the need and the transference can really get these people involved in really messy situations. Ra: Okay. It is interesting, by the way. It’s one of the things I enjoy is trying to figure out what the right question is. I’m a manifestor, how to phrase a question is a very interesting thing. Not something that I normally do and I see that my questions that I often don't get anything near what I was looking for. So, I guess it must be the question. But all of the stuff that comes out is fascinating, which is just as well. What I'm looking for is I'm looking for an explanation of what tonal trajectory is; what is tonal trajectory? A: Tonal trajectory is the process in the lifetime of a person of starting out on one point of the spectrum and going to another. So in the case of this person they’re right fixed, but what they have to do in order to understand their right fixedness is they have to start out from the left, from the communalist point of view and slowly over the lifetime with experiences they move to the separatist position. A: And it’s not a given that they will start on that trajectory. That's a fractal piece. Ra: Oh, it’s absolutely true. One of the most fascinating things about the nature of trajectory is that you take something like this that is going to get locked into the communalist trip and they’re going to only feel comfortable within the communalist --- PAGE 83 --- LESSON SEVEN: Motivation and Transference 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 75 environment. They’re going to be not-self. The chances are that they may never get to the other side. What is the Difference in the Relationship between the Design Tone and Color and the Personality Tone and Color? And again, this is one of the things about what is so fascinating between the difference of—well, that’s a good question to ask you. What is the difference between the relationship on the design side and the relationship on the personality side of the tone to color? A: Color always transfers on the personality side. But on the design side, it’s constant. Ra: That’s true. It wasn’t the answer that I was looking for, but it is also very true. What is the difference in the relationship between the design tone and color and the personality tone and color? What is the basic difference between them? A: Well, isn’t the design side the whole cognitive process in terms of how the brain functions? --- PAGE 84 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 A: Well, on the design side, like Lynda was saying, it sets brain chemistry and on the personality side it’s the being’s state, who you think you are. A: On the body side, it’s the intelligence of the guts and then on the other side it’s the innate intelligence; I don’t know. Ra: Does anybody know what the basic difference is between the relationship of the design tone and color and the personality tone and color? A: I would say that the basic difference is that it has to do with the personality crystal and the design crystal, the architecture and transference frequency of the design crystal on the one hand and the personality crystal on the other. Ra: Okay, I’m going to answer this question. The relationship between tone and color on the design side is always fixed. It is always fixed. But the relationship between tone and color on the personality side is that it is not always fixed at all. That is why we have trajectory. There is a pointing towards, but there is no fixing to. On the design side we don't say that somebody is hot moving towards cold, or that they’re this moving towards that. There isn’t. This is the fundamental difference. The fundamental difference is that the relationship between tone and color on the design side is always fixed. The moment that you're correct you’re fixed to one side or another. You’re fixed to your left-ness or you’re fixed to your right-ness. But, you see very clearly here that we have a tonal trajectory where in fact what you're designed for is not even where you start. You start on the other side, so it's not fixed. And of course this is something that ultimately is why it is so much more difficult to awaken the personality than it is to correct the vehicle. It’s easy to correct the vehicle. With strategy and authority automatically you get the lock-in, you follow your PHS automatically you get the enhancement. But in order to reach the enrichment of the psychological process, this quite something to get to this place. How Do You Get to Your Trajectory? By the way, how do you get to your trajectory? A: Strategy and authority. Ra: Well, yes, there's truth in that. There is always truth in that. It is always at the core of whatever it is going to be. But I I'm looking for it technically within the subject matter that we’re dealing with today. A: Well, is it by being in your true color, non-transference? A: I would say it’s through using the sense. --- PAGE 85 --- LESSON SEVEN: Motivation and Transference 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 77 Ra: What you said Lynda is exactly correct. That is, the moment that you can move to what is your trajectory that literally is when you are no longer transferred. Now, it doesn't mean that transference isn’t something that is always around. It means that generally speaking you are consciously aware of it and are consciously avoiding it, in that sense. In other words, you are staying within the actual motivation. When you couple that with the fact that strategy and authority begins the alignment of the frequency of the vehicle, those two things together open up the first true potential of the passenger to begin to get a taste of its own awareness potential. What Is a General Description of Transference? All right, so, let's talk about the themes that are here in terms of the nature of transference itself. Let's have a general description of what is transference. A: Well, transference as I’ve experienced it is when I get pulled completely out this place of—well, many things happen. I get this desire thing going inside of me. My energy gets aggressive. I experience a lack of innocence and peace within me. So, those are just sort of symptoms, I guess, but frustration, trying to force things, that sort of thing. But you’re probably looking for something more general, but that’s all I can come up with right now. A: Technically, transference is the capture frequency of the monopole. When the life is being run from mental decision making the capture frequency is picking up the harmonic of the real motivation and that's the transferred color without cognition underneath. --- PAGE 86 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 Ra: Yes, exactly. I don’t know, because you were breaking up, I don’t know if everybody actually heard that. Again, this goes back to the core. That is, it goes back to the basic elements that we work with—the crystals, the monopole. It’s the monopole’s responsibility for pulling everything together; it holds us together in that illusion of our separateness. The way it does that is through capture frequency. And what it is capturing is the exit frequency that comes out of the crystals, the exit frequency that we call color, the exit frequency on the design side and the exit frequency on personality side. Color is carrying the information. There is nothing wrong in the relationship between the tone and the color. In other words, there is no dysfunction in their relationship. However, the frequencies have to be captured. Now, the dilemma for the monopole is that at the same time it’s responsible for capturing the frequency, at the same time it is holding us together in the illusion of our separateness, and that holistic illusion is what defines what the frequency of the whole is going to be. If the holistic illusion, what we call a human being, is not-self, is not operating correctly, their frequency is not correct. Alok had a wonderful question before the class began about the magic of this. You can see that it's even where the G center is supposed to be in this inner architecture, in that sense, this frequency capturing that our vehicle is nothing but a frequency, that these lives, these bodies are nothing but frequencies. And it is this way in which we operate in these vehicles that becomes distorted through the not-self that the frequency, the holistic frequent, the acoustic balance, as it were, is not correct. And everything related to this architecture is expressed through the potential of the monopole. Again, this is a very, very deep connection between the two. And so it the frequency here is distorted in any way, then it's not going to capture correctly. And of course, what that means is even though it will capture it; it captures the harmonic, the 1 to the 4, and so forth and so on. I think that one of the things is that you all have experiential knowledge relative to the way in which you learn about these things. And I remain a mechanic throughout. This is where my ability lies, in seeing the mechanics. And for me, these questions I'm asking you or these areas that I’m pointing you towards, I'm looking for the mechanics. When you grasp the underlying mechanics of anything, everything beyond that extrapolates into all kinds of areas of expanded information and knowledge. In understanding what the mechanic really is our dilemma is the frequency of the vehicle. This is the great dilemma. This is why when you look at the cognitive architecture it is all built on this frequency. Every single one of these aspects is an offshoot of that frequency, the holistic frequency or the potential of the holistic frequency, this centralized and then generalized frequency that ultimately not is simply just our body, it is our aura. It is our dynamic energy field. So when there is something wrong here it affects everything. There's nothing wrong with the crystals, there is nothing wrong with the way in which they're operating, but --- PAGE 87 --- LESSON SEVEN: Motivation and Transference 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 79 there is everything wrong with the general frequency. It’s why we can't do anything for the mind until we align the frequency. And of course, once that frequency is aligned then we have the struggle of disengaging mind from its normal activity. The normal activity of mind to go about its process in which it decides what is going to be done or not done. And particularly in a case like this where you're dealing with right mindedness you’re dealing with somebody who has been deeply conditioned. And you know they’re so deep over here in fear and confusion. And of course, when you see that in relationship to the fact that they've got their personality Earth in the 59.2 that there is going to be all kinds of dilemmas inherent in the way in which it is not- self is going to present itself. It’s a real challenge. But then again, what is essential is the ability to be able to see what the transference is, to be able to understand what the transference is. We have a clear sense of what we think it is by looking at these keynotes, but in fact we don’t. We don't because what you don't get to see in these keynotes is that you don't get to see this. And what that means is that the moment that you're dealing with somebody that is in transference, that what you're getting is a transference that is devoid of cognition. Why do you think humanity is so dumb? Why do you think there are so many people on this planet who don't even have the most rudimentary education? The personality is incredibly dumbed-down. The not-self is in transference. It means there is no pure cognition behind the way in which it is motivated. It is blindly motivated. And it makes up the story in its not-self mind. Humanity is really dumb. I mean really deeply, and that includes all the smart people. What is Left Mindedness? All right, let's take a look at this theme of the difference between what is the way in which the functioning of this particular motivation, the way in which this motivation is going all function relative to what is left and right. So, what I'd like is a description, first of all, of what the left mind is. A: Well, a left fixed mind is originally a heritage from the seven-centered being and it's a focus on survival, and its strategic way of approaching life. A: And it has a central focus. The purpose of all their actions are much like what the spleen does, trying to sort what is the most pertinent thing in getting down to the point of the detail that they’re focused on. A: Left has preset patterns and right doesn’t have preset patterns. Ra: The descriptions of the left mind are excellent. It is something to understand about the nature of the work that we do that because the left mind is focused and strategic and rooted in its survival that the left mind is a mind that is much more difficult to break down than the right, and when I say break down, to give up its basic strategic nature to control what life is. As a matter of fact, there is enormous --- PAGE 88 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 pressure to give somebody who is left minded with personality transfer knowledge as quickly as possible in order to give their strategic mind something entirely different to focus on that will bring very different but more than equal rewards, in that sense. What is Right Mindedness? All right, give me an example of right mindedness. A: It is diffused. It is absorbing. I call it the research library. People that are right fixed in the mind are constantly amassing information from their environment, and it only operates and it only comes out when someone pulls the book from the library. A: It feels like a sponge, sort of. It’s like being a sponge. What is the Mutation of the Right? Ra: That’s true, very good. I have another sort of technical thing that I’m curious to see your contribution. The emergence of the right is a mutation. And the ajna binary is where the mutation takes place. What exactly is this mutation? A: The mutation has to do with how the mind doesn’t take in information strategically and it shifts its focus on the ajna center to the head center. And then observes the head center. It has a totally different relationship with information. Ra: Yes, that’s true. Does anybody know physically where this mutation is actually taking place? A: I believe it’s an anterior and posterior pituitary, one being focused and one of them, the peripheral takes place—I actually done some research on this and I can’t tell. I’m confused which one is anterior and which is posterior; in the visual cortex. Ra: Yes, it’s the visual cortex. It’s the most interesting thing for me about the nature this mutation. I find the fact that the 3-4, that the ajna binary, this is where the mutation has taken place which has so deeply to do with our ability to be able to understand the machinations of the nature of the mind and the way in which the mind operates. The thing that really separates the strategic from the receptive is the way they see. To be very, very simple, because I think it's an important distinction, that is, to be metaphoric the 3 looks out at the world and the 4 looks into the world. The world is all inside, it's all taken in automatically and there is this ability to be able to see where everything goes. It’s the most interesting thing when you think about the strategic looking out at something. It watches things that move towards it; whereas, the receptive sees things as it moves away from it. It takes in this huge field of experience. --- PAGE 89 --- LESSON SEVEN: Motivation and Transference 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 81 They both take it in visually. It is still a matter of the eyes. I mean, we don't move away to the eyes and get to the next layer, which is skin—I guess that’s the thing that is so interesting about the 5th and 6th tones is this relationship to a whole new level of sensory perception. However, in the morphing, if you will, because no matter what the neural awareness that will materialize in the solar plexus it’s still going to have to use the pituitaries, the “this and that,” and everything else, it is still going to use the brain in order to be able to control and maintain function. So we have a change in the way in which the control mechanism will work. But what is so interesting about the nature of this mutation being in the visual cortex is something that is important for enriching the spirit of the right, is that they are able to see inside in a way that really defies explanation. That is, they don't see it consciously, that is, it can be taken from them, drawn from them, like Cathy's analogy to the book being taken from the library. But the fact is that this way in which their vision moves inward is that it lays out the maya on the inside. There’s no such thing as space in there. What fascinates me about the right is that they have the whole maya inside of them; all of it. It’s incredible when you think about it. The left doesn't have that; I know that, it doesn’t. It has its line. So, to really have a feel for this transition from the left to the right and this transition away from the dependence of the importance of looking outward, to the right being looking outward is never important. It isn’t because they’re not looking for something. It is just the reality of being a creature with eyes and eyes that see. It's not looking outward. It is simply taking in. It's very different. I think the ideal, when we get to see rave children we’ll see that they all basically do a brown study. I don’t know if you know that terminology. It’s when you stare blankly and are not focused, because I think that the real natural state for their vision is simply just taking things in because there is no interest in anything that is specific. This is what makes them so unusual, obviously. And of course, again it leads to what has to be our deep concerns about the way in which those beings who enter into the Center for Human Differentiation who are right minded, the way in which they are going to be dealt with and it’s one of the most fascinating areas of my own thought process now is how to advantage this kind of underlying cognition. What Is the Way this Personality Is Being Driven? Let's have a combination here of what happens to this person when this person is in transference and let’s be specific about this person. We know that they are a 1st color fear. We know that they are right. What happens to this person when they're in transference? In other words, what are they actually like as not-self beings? In --- PAGE 90 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 other words, what is the way in which their underlying personality, what is the way in which their personality is being driven? A: They cling to their community. They think they need their community. Ra: Absolutely so; let's have more. A: I’d say that is a 2nd line personality, this is a hermit personality, they have to wait for a call and if they live in transference out of need this is a personality that is looking for love, holding onto love, can get deeply needy about love. So, in the wave they are prone to take just about any call because they feel that they desperately just need someone to be intimate with. This is the difficulty to be alone and then absolutely being carried away by a sense of neediness that’s completely out of proportion and of course, the consequences are going to be very obvious. Ra: Oh, absolutely, Alok, and you know that they’ve got their personality Sun in the 55.2, which is such a difficult line to begin with. It’s the line of slander and you can never defend yourself, nobody really trusts you. They end up with this homogenized transference. And of course, the thing to really grasp is that the moment that the holistic frequency is incorrect is the moment you lose your connection to the cognition. Again, this is not fixed. It’s not like the design side. It’s just not fixed. So the moment that you lose that, the moment that you drift to the need, the need isn’t being driven by a cognition. It’s what I call dumb need or dumb desire or dumb guilt or whatever dumbness you want to add to it, but that's what it is. And as Alok pointed out, a dumb need that can lead to all kinds of stuff that has nothing to do with this person. How Do You Tell the Client How to Recognize Transference? So what do you say to a client, this client, this sweet little baby, I only wish that whoever this creature is that the gods are kind. What to do. Chances are limited. When you're dealing with somebody like this and you want to instruct them on how to recognize when they are in transference, what do you tell them? A: You tell them to pay particular attention to what they hear themselves saying and if they make any statement about need, there is almost certainly conditioning that is pulling them into transference. And that they should be careful not to make a decision out that, because transference will be a part of their life, but their decision making really needs to be based on a motivation of intelligence coming out of fear. A: And I would also tell them that they may have desire to take action quickly, but the more quickly they take it, the bigger the problem is because of their emotional nature, because of their receptivity they actually have to be one of the people that waits the longest before they take action. And if they follow assessment, which fear is the motivation is basic innate intelligence to assess situations and if they give --- PAGE 91 --- LESSON SEVEN: Motivation and Transference 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 83 themselves the time to actually do that and they do the brown study you talk about here Ra, and take time and more time and more time their life will work much better. A: Because they’re right fixed, I would ask them about what they think they need and then at the end of that having them aware of it and lead them to the recognition that they don't really need any of those things. A: I have a question here. That is, with the 1st color in transference, does that transfer through its need into a kind of domination or a dictator kind of mission? If that is true, of course depending upon when you come across this person, on the one hand they have a tendency to always want to maintain a certain kind of separation. And at the other hand are very defensive and try to maintain a kind of dictator stance, if that is true. Ra: Well, I think the dilemma was best pointed out by Alok’s comment, that is, that this is a blind neediness and the blind neediness is going to lead in all kinds of responses to calls that are simply just not correct. After all, this is a 2nd line style. This is the style of this personality. And we can see that it's hot, as well. It is emotional; it is a 55th gate that is “this and that,” and so forth and so on. The real dilemma of the transference is that the moment you enter into the transference you're not being cognitively guided. And think about something, because I think in your comments, Kumud, you ended up by saying about decision making. There is no decision making here. I mean, there isn't any decision making. The first thing you’re trying to get across to the passenger is that they’ve been a sucker, because the passenger thinks it is mind. That's what homogenization does. So, the first thing that transference shows a passenger is that their mind, the way in which they thought was their mind, is influenced by others. And that we give them keys in order to be able to recognize when that transference is taking place. One of the things we have to be able to do is recognize the profound depth of the potential of the passenger once the window is opened. Now, if you look at that transference to the need, this is really just dumb need. And again, we have to see this is a blind motivation. It’s a very powerful force, we have needy thoughts. And of course, it is not need that is correct. It is not correct, obviously, because it's the transference. So what the personality believes it needs to do or not do is not going to be correct and every decision that you make leads you further and further when you're homogenized away from yourself. The key is to always remind the passenger that they’ve been duped. They’ve been fooled. Any you insist that the passenger proves that for themselves. This is the great task. I tell you, there is nothing like this. It is really incredible, but it is an enormous task to get that passenger to begin to focus, to begin to look, not to act, not to want to act, but to begin to just see, to see if it's true that it's been duped, that it doesn't need to have all that neediness driving it that makes it so uncomfortable and never being satisfied in that process. --- PAGE 92 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 It's not that you can tell them where they belong. You can’t. They have to see where they don't belong. This is where it starts. Remember that the passenger, we will go through this next week with the not-self, remember that the passenger needs to have every element displayed and shattered, displayed and shattered, displayed and shattered until there's nothing left but the purity of that consciousness. And it starts here. It starts with understanding that color in transference is an extraordinary thing, and how to see what's there for a human being. And to be able to help them open up that doorway for their passenger to differentiate, that it learns, that it gets to see, that it gets to confirm. Okay, I hope you enjoyed that. We will go through the not-self next week and take a look at all our interesting variations, affinities, channels, gates, splits, the whole dynamic of the power of the not-self and let's enjoy it. Until next time, take care, bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 93 --- 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 85 Lesson Eight The Not-Self Okay, today we’re going to continue our interactive journey and we're going to go back in our course time machine and review the monster. I do love this monster. There really is something about the not-self that is—when people talk about dark forces and they make all these myths about various kinds of dark forces, oh boy is this it. This incredible shadow that hides the life, it kills the fucking passenger, it just does, it’s a passenger killer. It’s such a monster. Sometimes I look out in the world—I'm very lucky, and I live in a very, very tightly controlled bubble, because the not-self world is really mad. It's really mad even at its best, and it's all relative. There is just this prevailing insanity that has become normality. I see it in everything I do, this incredible distortion that we have inherited from the seven-centered being, this seven-centered being, Jesus, what a thing that was. It is through the seven-centered being that we got this incredible glorification of mind. It is through the seven-centered being that the whole strategic nature of being, this bloodbath that the killer monkey brought to everything, to all kinds of forms of life, to each other. This is the seven-centered being. The seven-centered being, it’s not their fault. I don’t want to turn them into the bad guys because they’re not really the bad guys. They were just what they were when they were. It is their limitation. And yet, at the same time they are our evolutionary precursors and they set the foundation for what is possible for us now. And they set that foundation not by the glory that they brought through their triumph, but the horror that was part and parcel of all that. That is our movement further and further and further and further and further away from both the purity of our vehicle and of our essence, of our nature. --- PAGE 94 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 Not-Self Moves Us Away From Our Natural Order The seven-centered being moved away from the natural order, this is what the not- self does. The not-self moves us away from our natural order. It moves us away from our ability to be cognitive in a way in which we were designed to be cognitive. It strips us of the possibility of being aligned to what is correct for us environmentally so that we can flourish in the environment that is correct for us. You do not bring a delicate tropical flower to the far north and expect that it is going to flourish trapped in a room under artificial light. The not-self has robbed us of our place. It is the great curse. I talk a lot about the dysfunction of the personality and thus the limitation of the passenger. But it's not like it's the personality’s fault, it is a holistic problem. It’s the problem of the vehicle. It’s the problem of the whole process, its frequency. And dysfunction in terms of frequency is always rooted to the not-self mind. This is what we get to understand in terms of the monopole and capture frequency. We know that the monopole that holds this holistic entity together, that the moment in holding it together it loses control over the frequency, because it is then that the frequency is the result of a holistic configuration. If this holistic vehicle isn't operating correctly, the capture frequency becomes harmonic, we have transference. And we know that the way in which we begin to align this frequency to what is correct is strategy and authority, turning over the decision making, taking it away from the mind. But you can't blame the mind. It is only the spokesperson for the conditioning of various aspects of the vehicle itself. And that because of all of the things that we have come to understand about the nature of what it is to be us, this genetic imperative that drives us to be attracted to what we are not, that in our very fertility we are trapped in the attraction game. We are caught in what can never ever end. The Not-Self Arises In Our Openness That is, that we have specific receptors to the outside world, we have the specific receptors to what we are not. And it is through these receptors that we live our life, because we live our life through our relationship to the other. And it is the other that is going to conditioned us. The not-self arises in our openness. It is our openness that feeds our fear. It is the openness that transforms fear from what is real and deserves attention to what is distorted and takes attention away from what is required. It is through the openness, it is the openness that frightens the not-self mind, controls it. I am unworthy. I am unworthy. I am unworthy. Imagine how deep this becomes a malaise, a sickness, this deep fear of not being valued, of not being worthy, of not being strong enough, of not having the courage, not having the guts, not having the power, how it turns the being away from who they are instantly. --- PAGE 95 --- LESSON EIGHT: The Not-Self 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 87 It all feeds the mind. It all feeds the false inner authority, the false inner authority of: I have a mind, it thinks. I’m going to use it to decide. This is what we have inherited from seven-centered beings. This is how the whole natural order broke down, the mind making decisions. We know better. We cannot become this thing consciously, this nine-centered being until we are released from the thrall of the openness. So that the openness becomes our classroom, our teacher; it becomes the basis of our wisdom, not our pain. There is so much to be learned in all this openness; this baby that just came into the world. The Prime Affinities The delight of the card deck; anybody wanted to tell me about the Prime Affinities? A: The Prime Affinities are related to the centers that are the consciousness centers which means by order, the spleen center, then the solar plexus center and then the ajna center. The impact order will be the solar plexus, then the spleen, then the ajna center. These centers are related to where the being is. Ra: That's very good. All right, they’re related to the node. Somebody want to explain to me how does that work? What is the value of being able to see this openness relative to the fact that the Prime is related to the nodes? --- PAGE 96 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 A: It has to do with the awareness of the vehicle, the drive, the awareness of the outside world and the relationship of the bio-genetic form to the outside world. Ra: Okay, let me rephrase that. How is the not-self mind going to use the fact that within the context of this Prime you've got somebody who has an open solar plexus system, how does this strategy then apply relative to this being a Prime. Okay, let me deconstruct this for you. We’ve got an open solar plexus center. What do we know about the open solar plexus? We know that the open solar plexus, the not-self strategy is avoiding confrontation and truth. Right, okay. So, this is the strategy. We know what the not-self mind does without that, the not-self mind uses that as a way in which it prepares itself to make a decision or not; the avoidance of confrontation and truth. However, this is a Prime which means that rather than it being related to the way in which the mind is actually going to conceptualize the style that it’s going to bring, that what we're looking at here because it's nodal is that it's going to be related to the perspective, it's going to be related to what becomes the false view. In other words, this avoidance of confrontation and truth becomes what this not-self mind is seeing. This becomes part of its strategy. That is, its decision making is based on the fact that it's always seeing things out there that it should avoid or seeing things that it should be careful about what it says even know those things don't warrant any of that. It's a conditioning element rooted in the way in which they look at the world because it's Prime. The other thing is that we know because it's emotional, that is, that as Jacques pointed out it has the strongest impact, its impact ranking, in terms of the Prime, that we know that this is going to be a major way in which this not-self mind is going to operate. In other words, it's going to be basing whatever it thoughts are on the fact that the background is always that it's seeing the possibilities for confrontation. It’s seeing the possibilities where it’s going to have to lie. What I'm looking for here is what the practical of that is? And the practical is, remember that we’re mapping the not-self mind. How does the not-self mind make decisions? If it’s being influenced through the Prime, the way it looks at the world is what's being influenced. And of course, it's a false influence, because again it is an open center, after all. It becomes the dominant way they look at things when in fact it's not what they're about. So, give me an example of the way in which the splenic Prime is going to become used or is going to be used by the not-self mind. How is this splenic Prime here, what is its impact going to be in terms of the way in which the not-self mind makes a decision or not? A: It always fears for its survival inappropriately. A: It has a blind spot about being deceptive in terms of holding on. It will refuse to look that it is holding onto the wrong things. --- PAGE 97 --- LESSON EIGHT: The Not-Self 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 89 Ra: Yes, that’s very good. It indeed will refuse to look and see that it's holding onto the wrong things. It'll end up looking at all kinds of other things, as matter of fact. A: I’d say that the way this would impact the perception through the seeing is that whatever it is that they are dealing with on a moment-by-moment base, that I would always look at it in terms of how does this benefit or affect my survival, even though they may be issues that have nothing to do with their survival or issues that are very far away from him in time and space, that that they would soon still look at it through how that becomes an issue for me in the relationship to my survival. In that sense, that the theme of survival will become a distortion for everything that’s there in the chart as a theme. A: I would say that this person would focus his seeing on all the possibilities to hold on to what will bring the survival for that person. Ra: Yes, absolutely, just going back a second to Alok. Oh, there is no question about it and you can see how distorted that actually becomes because you have somebody that’s looking towards certain issues that don't exist for them. That's not where they're supposed to be looking, after all. So, you begin to see the way in which the mind is taken away from its natural perception, its natural gift of looking at the world. When you're looking at these Primes you're looking at incredible shadow darkness, you're really looking at a horrible force, in the sense. The moment you really grasp what it is doing it’s distorting the way you look at anything and not simply distorting it, but you're looking at the wrong things. You’re looking at those things that you're being conditioned to look at and it becomes the frame for the way in which your mind is going to deal with all of that. Oh, it’s really something quite powerful. The Epsilon Affinity Let’s switch for a moment and give me a basic introduction to the Epsilon Affinity. A: The Epsilon Affinity relates to all the centers that are connected to the “who you think you are.” This is the Sun/Earth and it relates to four centers. That is, in ranking impact the ego center, then the G center, then the head center and then it’s the root center, if I remember correctly. Also, the sacral center and the throat center may also be connected to the Prime or to the Epsilon centers. The sacral center—that I don’t understand. And these Epsilon centers are related to the “who you think you are,” to the being. Ra: Yes that's true. If you look at the Epsilon it is a “Y” and this is the sacral down here. So, you're looking at the most powerful in terms of impact, that is, the ego. The G center on one side, the head center on the other side and down below the sacral center, this forms the Epsilon that is there. --- PAGE 98 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 90 All right, let’s begin with the core of this; it has the highest of the impact of rankings. Before I even do that, why have I given them a ranking? Why are they ranked? What is the value of an impact ranking? A: It's a sort of hierarchical place in the mental conceptualizing. That higher rank will take priority in thinking around trying to run a life. A: Because of their potential to be deeply penetrating by the fears triggered by the conditioning. The Open Ego Ra: Yes, both of you are absolutely correct. Okay, let’s look at the open ego. Obviously it is the number one ranking, which means that in terms of as Jacques put it so nicely, who you think you are, that this is going to be a deep distortion on the way in which this personality is going to think about itself. So, in this openness that is here in the ego, how is this going to affect the way in which the personality sees itself? A: They’re going to be very self-absorbed in terms of their self-worth. That’s the best I can do. Ra: I just want to go back to Barbara’s comment. Yes, there is a great deal of that in there. Obviously we're dealing with a center that has to do with the motor and the motor’s will. There is obviously a sense of not being able to have that, which can be a deeply driving force. But remember we're talking about the way in which the personality is going to think about itself and the way in which it thinks about itself conditioning the way in which it's going to make a decision. After all, this is what we are looking at. And this is the highest ranking, after all. So, what is the impact in terms of the way in which this person's not-self mind is going to operate? Let’s say that it’s faced with making a decision, what is the way that it gets there? Yes, it does indeed have a lack of self-esteem; there is no question about that. Defending against the threat of not proving themselves worthy, yes, that can be part of it as well. Remember what this is really showing you. It’s really an incredible thing. Through the not-self deck you really get to see the way in which the homogenized world prioritizes the way in which it makes decisions. You get to see how mad it is and you get to see the clichés of the decision making process, which gives you an enormous advantage when you're dealing with your clients. That is, in being able to understand their not-self process, being able to understand that regardless of the fact that they may have entered into Human Design, their mind is still deeply practiced in constructing things according to the way in which it’s influenced through its openness. These themes here are deeply profound. It is very, very important to be able to grasp what this is telling you about the way in which somebody's mind operates. --- PAGE 99 --- LESSON EIGHT: The Not-Self 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 91 This is the only way we’re going to heal them, after all. The only way that any of us get healed is by understanding the way in which our not-self mind constructs things, and to see where the construction comes from in terms of just looking at the mechanics and understanding it. This is the way that we begin to break down the construct so that we can get behind all of this conditioning and release the potential of the outer authority. The Open Heart Center Okay, so let's have some more description of our open heart center and the impact that it has on the way in which the mind is going to establish its decision making process. A: This mind is thinking about itself in such a way—I’m not working now so I should prove myself, in order to do it I should prove myself in relationships, in friendship and in partnerships. So I should do something in order to prove myself. Ra: Yes, yes, yes, it's going to be a mind that is going to— remember this is number one impact. This is deeply, deeply, deeply powerful. It really overwhelms the mind and it’s one of the things to understand about the nearly 65% of humanity that have an open heart center. This is the number one impact on the way in which the not-self mind is going to prepare to make a decision. And it makes a decision based on the fact that it is simply not worthy, however that is framed in the mind. In other words, it's always building its decision making on somehow trying to compensate for, in fact, nothing that is wrong at all. It all ends up being made up, after all. This person isn’t living out who they are. And of course, this becomes an obsession in their life. We’re looking at the way in which the mind works. This is the power of all of this. You look at somebody and you see their open heart center and you know right away who they think they are. And no matter how well they lie to you, because the mind that is not-self as both inner and outer authority can only lie to defend itself, that it will not necessarily let you in on the secret that it doesn't think it's worthy. And the --- PAGE 100 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 way in which it's always making decisions based on how it can avoid being seen as unworthy. How that leads to a whole tangled web of stories and disinformation. It’s a mind, it’s a homogenized not-self mind ruled by an open heart center. If you can really smell that, you smell its sickness. Here is where we get to see the whole dysfunction, because that’s what we're looking at, this deep, deep dysfunction. The Open G Center All right, someone take a shot at the way in which the open G is going to impact the not-self mind. A: They are going to be obsessed, absolutely mentally driven by a sense that they really need to get with a sense of direction, they need to know where they should be and who they should be. So, they’re constantly mentally machinating on: is this how I'm supposed to be? A: Since this is also related to the “who you think you are,” this person having no fixed identity would really be obsessed with the fact that all the people around that gives it a sense of identity, this person would be obsessed to fix its identity to this person or to that person or to that person. That can really lead to mental decisions when it sticks on this point. Ra: Yes, it is about a not-self mind that starts off always assuming it’s lost. And whether that being lost is in direction or whether that being lost is in love, that there is always this sense of “I have to find what the way is,” whatever the way relates to. There is a great deal of searching in this “who they think they are.” They think they need to be a searcher, they think they need to find what has been lost, they need to find their way, and they need to find the other; so many of these accents are there. Why Does the G Center have Such a Deep Impact? Actually, I have an interesting question for all of you. There are nine centers; some of them are very powerful. Why is it that that G center has such a deep impact? It has an incredible impact when you think about it. A: Maybe because that is a place where Magnetic Monopole sits… Ra: Yes, it’s true. When the frequency is incorrect, those people with open G centers always have to deal with this frequency not being correct, and they're the ones who know it without knowing what that means. The open G always knows something's wrong, they just don't know what it is. It is about frequency and of course frequency is all related back to the monopole. It’s very important to see the deep influence on the way in which the mind thinks about itself or the perspective that it has that both the way in which the mind thinks --- PAGE 101 --- LESSON EIGHT: The Not-Self 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 93 and the perspective that it has doesn't belong to it. The whole point is to see how deeply we are pulled away from what is correct for us. How deeply, deeply we are pulled away from that. The Sacral Center’s Number Eight Ranking All right, one of the lowest rankings—when you think about there is the G center with its number three ranking and there’s the sacral with its number eight ranking and why is that? A: Perhaps because the majority of the people are Generators. Ra: Yes, exactly. It’s just a simple logic question; there was no trick in all of that. It's part of it. Example: Open G and Open Sacral Nonetheless, again let’s take the situation of somebody that has an open head center and they have an open G center and they have an open sacral; let me simplify it for you. Let’s say that we have an open G, because we just talked about it, and they have an open sacral. How does that work in terms of the way in which the not-self mind is going to make a decision? How does that work in terms of the way in which they see their “who they think they are”? A: Well, I guess I'm just a good example for this because those are exactly my two open centers and as you were saying about the sacral I realized that if you have the sacral and the throat, for example, that of course, the sacral would be number one and that having a low ranking center open when it is alone, for example, that it would take the hundred percent of the not-self heat, in that sense. In the case of how these two open centers work together for me, it’s clear that there is this looking for this consistent sense of self and then once found there is this working on it. If it is not correct, this becomes this tantric Generator not-self working on its identity and because there is something that as you say is not correct, there’s always something that's not correct, because you're meeting the not-self even if you take that for granted that you’re meeting with the not-self you still have to deal with the frequency and you don't have everyone's design so you don't always know how to deal with it. However, it puts up an identity that it's working on and you never know when enough is enough, unless you have the inner authority to just feel it in energy and sort of unstuck yourself from whatever that place happens to be. Ra: One thing that you brought up, Alok, that is very, very important and it's one of those essential things, obviously, in this conversation but we’re not relating specifically to somebody's design, but obviously if the only center that you have open is the sacral center, as Alok pointed out, it is going to have 100% influence over the --- PAGE 102 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 way in which the not-self mind is going to operate. So, it’s always going to be relative to what’s there. The important thing about the ranking is that it gives you the opportunity hierarchically to see the way in which where the priority is, everything else is a flavor. So, when you're dealing with the open G and the open sacral the open G is the thing. It is the high impact, and it is what is going to be the main determining factor for the way in which that personality is going to see itself. However, the flavor of the open sacral and it's not knowing enough is enough and the whole false Generator theme is something that is going to be added as Alok described it quite perfectly, this relationship between the two in the way in which it begins to take over. It would be a different story if there was also an open ego and there was a higher ranking. Then everything would be the ego it would go down in the decision making construct to the secondary factor being the G and the tertiary factor finally being the sacral center. It's a way of understanding the basic platforms upon which the mind is going to construct its decision making form. And again, to see this combination which is the ingredients here, that is, the combination between the Prime and the Epsilon, the difference between the openness that is impacting the mind, the personality, and the openness that is impacting the perspective. And it is the various configurations that we’re going to have because we’re going to have many, many, many different kinds of configurations, where, for example, somebody's openness is only related to the nodes or only related to the Sun/Earth, or were it only happens to be in a Beta which can in a sense go any way. Obviously, there are many, many different kinds of configurations. Example: Only Prime Openness or Only Epsilon Openness The fact is that if you have a design in which you only have Prime, as an example, only Prime openness, you have a personality that is entirely focused on what it thinks it sees which it becomes incredible folly. At the same time, if you go the other way and the openness is only going to be Epsilon, then you have somebody that really doesn't have any perspective. The personality doesn't know how to put things in relationship to the environment, and so they're often the kinds of personalities as not-self that seem to be totally disengaged from reality. And then you have the combinations in between, the very balancing act. Again, sometimes the perspective is going to be more powerful than what the “who you think you are” is, a higher ranking perspective over a lower ranking Epsilon is going to produce a very different way in which that mind is good look at things. It's going to be highly focused on the environment that it's in. There are all these permutations; all of them lead to being able to read that not-self mind. Okay, I know there were a couple questions in there, so Cathy, you go ahead, you were first. --- PAGE 103 --- LESSON EIGHT: The Not-Self 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 95 A Question on the G Ranking A: I just remembered in LYD trainings that you did that you talk about with the G open that unless people are in the right place, nothing else in Design matters. So that's always confused me that it doesn't have a higher ranking except for the fact that it's not a motor. Ra: Yes, I doubt very much that I ever said that nothing in Design would ever matter as result of that. The whole thing about the undefined G is that if you're in the wrong place you’re with the wrong people. So obviously everything about the G center is about where it is going to be in this life. That right place is something that's relative to their uniqueness, that is, it is relative to their inner authority. It is their inner authority that is going to guide them to the correctness of where they’re intended to be regardless of how their mind is going to perceive that or not. No, it doesn't it in that context. I really wouldn't have used that kind of phrasing. Yes, it is deeply significant for an undefined G; there is no question about it. But then again it isn’t about the mind deciding. I never told an undefined G that your mind has to tell you where the place is. The place has to happen and your authority has to recognize it, and that's really the case. Okay, any other questions? A Question on the Sun and/or Earth Being In the Prime or Epsilon A: I have difficulty to understand how it goes practically when, for example, the Sun of the person is in the Prime, or the Sun/Earth are both in the Prime or even worse, the Sun is in the Prime and the Earth is in the Epsilon center. How does this manage? I cannot see very practically how to interpret that. Ra: Well, it’s actually quite obvious in a sense, those are advantages. The moment that you have the Sun/Earth that are going to be in Primes is the moment that you have a deep connection between what is the perspective or what is the conditioning perspective that one has to deal with. And it is a possibility for a great deal of wisdom once one can escape the conditioning of it. The Nodes in the Epsilon Again, what we are looking at first and foremost and please understand that, if you have the nodes, for example, in the Epsilon, basically that means that there is a very, very strong influence of what the potential perspective is in terms of the way in which the mind is going to be influenced. And of course it's coming out of an open center, as we're discussing in this context, then we know that there is this very, very deep conditioning they can take place that takes the mind away and offers it a perspective that is not correct for it. It’s simply a matter about following the basic logic of the way the structure works. --- PAGE 104 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 Need to Recognize the Formula as to How the Not-Self Mind Operates What's important is to see the organization of the way in which the not-self mind is going to make those decisions. This is the first key. It’s secondary, by the way, it really is. It’s interesting because I wanted to do a lot more material tonight than I’ve ended up doing. But I think it's been valuable, so, I’ll continue with this. We have all kinds of activations and what I mean by that is what I was going to get into, but I’ll save that for next week. I was going to get into all the conditioning aspects, and in looking at the various conditioning aspects very clearly we have a lot of different influences that are in these various open centers all of which have a different interpretive value that adds to the nuance of understanding the complexity of the mind. But, that’s not my basic concern. My basic concern is that you can all recognize the formula upon which any client, the way in which their mind has traditionally in their lives as not-self, how it has operating. And the way you see that is through the Affinities and you see that through the ranking so that you get to see clearly what the structure is. Once you understand that basic structure, then you can begin the process of intuiting the values that are there in the various kinds of configurations within the centers themselves. After all, we did a lot of work of looking at the various kinds of receptors and conditioning elements that are there in open centers with gates that are hanging from them that there are gates that are pointed at them, all of these various aspects add tremendous nuance and I'm sure will be the subject of research for a very, very, very long time. But we need to master something that's never been mastered. And this is on the surface here. It is the surface of being able to see the way in which the not-self mind organizes its decision making process based on two things if they are there. That is, based on who they think they are and based on who they think they are in terms of what they think they see. It is those two things that this is where the not- self is totally lost. All right, one more question because I want to get to the Beta. Go ahead, Kumud. A: What I’m a little confused about if it’s an open center like, for instance, I have a design node in an open sacral so that’s an Epsilon and it doesn't really belong there. Does it make any difference to the mind whether the gate is from the design or the personality? Ra: First of all, you’re talking about design node. It’s not relative to this. This is a complete personality construct. --- PAGE 105 --- LESSON EIGHT: The Not-Self 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 97 The Beta All right, let’s take a look at the Beta. When we’re looking at the Beta, what is the Beta? And you can see very clearly it’s on either side here, so you see these two in the brown and of course you're dealing with the root center and you're dealing with the throat center. A: Does it affect who we think we are and what we think see? Ra: Yes, it does. These are like jokers in a deck when you're playing cards and you have a wild card. These are wild cards. And it means that in many ways they actually have, particularly in those cases where you see somebody, for example, that would have an open root and an open throat and those would be the only centers that would be open, it’s actually a very, very powerful thing, because it's going to influence both the way one thinks about oneself and the way one sees oneself, it’s going to be locked up into the same thing. And of course, this can be quite a focused distortion away from what somebody actually is. Example: Only Open Root and Open Throat One of you give me a speculation on what would happen to somebody who is only open root and open throat, what's the priority in terms of the way in which their mind is going to make decisions and the way it’s going to see itself. A: Hurry up to manifest or hurry up to talk, hurry up to attract attention. Ra: There is no question that there is going to be—first of all, the priority, the priority is going to be coming out of what is the higher ranking, so it is going to be coming out of the 7. It means that the thematic of attracting attention is going to be secondary [note correction: the higher ranking priority only in this case is the 9, the open throat, which is addressed in the next question & answer]; that is, it is going to be the flavor, in that sense. The main decision making mechanism and the main mechanism for looking at the world is going to be right there in terms of the root center. So, everything is happening too fast. This is a mind that thinks everything is happening too fast, that it has to move faster in order to make sense out of its life. There is an enormous amount of pressure that arises out of this. And obviously, there is going to be that need for attention that is going to be there at the secondary level in terms of the way in which this mind hopes to be able to resolve things. But at the same time you really have to see how this is a mind that is racing out of control. --- PAGE 106 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 A Question on the Inside Square Rankings A: It seems like a lot of stress in relationship to communication and manifestation. But anyway, you framed it so nicely. My question, Ra, is that I’m noticing, for example, in the Primes in the inner square we have the 1 in the solar plexus, 2 in the spleen and a 3 in the ajna and they sort of like follow the order in the ranking. But in the Betas it’s not like that, like the higher ranking is in the root, the 7, and the throat is only the 9, but on the inside square the 1 is on the throat and the 2 is on the root. I can’t follow the logic of this. Ra: In relationship to each other, like the example that I just gave, in fact, you’re quite right because I actually did that wrong. The accent would actually be on the throat center itself, and that the flavor in that case would be the root because relative to each other it actually has a higher ranking. In the Prime the inner rankings are the same and there is no such thing in the Epsilon at all. But the fact is, when they are there with each other and only with each other, which means that it is an unusual combination, and one that probably represents a very different kind of mental system, but the moment that there is any other open center, then they would fall back actually into their ordinary impact ranking and they would switch places again. Thanks, Alok, I had forgotten all about that. A: So it means to be absolutely clear on that point, it means that when there are only these two open centers, root and throat, then the throat becomes first. Do I understand this correctly? Ra: Exactly. And if they’re not only there together, if there are other centers that are there, then it reverts back to what is the impact ranking. A: It brings to my mind that it feels like not having a back gear, but having the kind of mind that actually gets to miss one, missing having a back gear, something like that. Ra: That’s interesting. A Question Concerning the Influencing of the Seeing and the Being A: Maybe I have a bad internet connection today, maybe I missed that, but there is the connection to the being and to seeing of the Beta, so when is it influencing the seeing and when is it influencing the being, or is it in front of both? What is this depended on? Ra: I’m sorry. I didn’t quite catch the question. Can you give it to me again? You’re referring to the two Betas. --- PAGE 107 --- LESSON EIGHT: The Not-Self 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 99 A: Yes. As far as I understood it, it’s something like a wild card. That means it can influence the being, Sun, and the seeing, the nodes. My question is, when does it influence the seeing and when does it influence the being, or is it always both? Ra: Ok, now I’ve got it. If you think about it as a wildcard, think about it this way. Let's say that you have somebody that has an open solar plexus and they also have an open throat, because the solar plexus is a Prime, the dominance or the impact of the throat is that it will switch over more to seeing than into the being. In other words, it acts as a wildcard. If something is covered, it moves to the other side. If that person has both, it has a minor influence in affecting both. But if one is missing it immediately will jump in. Does that answer your question? A: Yes, thank you. A Grand Form of Keynoting Ra: I think it's important for all of us, I think it’s one of the things that happens to us when we’re in such a long and involved program, I was reviewing this the other day and I think we did two months of this over two years ago, and it is an essential ingredient. It provides a very, very clear and practical way for us to be able to understand the not-self mind and the way in which it deals with things. And that's a key, because it's one of the things that we need to teach. Part of the work of what it is to offer our services is to be able to teach unique information, unique knowledge to a being, unique in the sense that is tailored specifically to their potential for differentiation. To be able to understand somebody’s not-self mind is not simply a matter of the advantage of understanding the way one processes, but it means that in terms of our work of trying to breakdown the conditioning construct, that by being able to offer very simple direct and recognizable themes to the client opens up the possibility for them to be able to resonate to that and to begin that process of recognizing their own deep conditioning. There is a certain poetry in this, there is a certain poetry in that this is one of the grandest forms of keynoting, to be able to understand through these open centers and the knowledge that we have about the nature of open centers, what these means when you weave them together according to this drama, this drama of the being and the seeing and the way in which they combine. And the way in which they combine in the not-self to create a totally alien creature, a totally alien creature that has nothing to do with who we are. This is the depth of what conditioning brings into the life. It is really something. Before I go today, Becky, and again, thank you Becky, has prepared something for students that I think would be very helpful. It is an index to the entire course, the entire program over the three years; it’s updated as we go along, so it’s right up to date. It gives you an index. It’s quite large; it’s about 45 pages, just the index of what we have been doing together over these years together. So that is going to be --- PAGE 108 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

I enjoyed the process with you, so until next time, bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 109 --- 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 101 Lesson Nine Exam Preparation There are a couple of things that I want to be able to point out to you before you enter into next week’s testing. I want to lay the framework for you and give you a very clear heads-up about where to place your particular focus. I haven’t written the exams yet, I will do this on Saturday, so I can’t tell you what's in it, which is partially why I haven't written it yet because I would be tempted or at least influenced. I have no idea. What I do know is what the format is going to be, that is, the format is going to be based on three charts; there will be five questions for each chart. What it's going to be based on, and this is something that is very important, that is, it is going to be based on the not-self, so for example what we were looking at last week, that is, the review that we were doing looking at affinities, looking at the way in which conditioning takes place through the open centers, obviously, it also is going to include looking at what happens in terms of various activations in terms of hanging gates. We'll take a look at some of that tonight. I'm going to do some teaching, but I would also like to open up the opportunity for any of you to be able to ask questions. Technical Language I stressed this yesterday in the preparation for the PHS candidates, for me Human Design is a science. And as a science it means that it is rooted not simply in mechanics, but the mechanics are laid out in technical language. It may be in part to be able to work with the knowledge, but the knowledge itself is a science. And what is important to me in the testing program is that I am interested in the technical language being regurgitated. I don't mean to be crude, but it's true. It is very, very important that this technical language that has been developed over these years in the work of Human Design and particularly what has been developed over the last three years, that it's important to understand that not only do we need to ground this language firmly so that we are able to clearly understand the work that each of us is involved with and to be able to share in that work, to be able to develop the knowledge because we have a common language base. But it is the language base, the technical terminology that we are developing now that is going to be the terminology of the future. It is the language of what is, in this particular case, the language of Rave Psychology and the language of infrastructure of the personality crystal. --- PAGE 110 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 So terms of the testing itself, what I'm interested in is the technical language, because I'm going to ask you questions that are looking for a technical response. And the second thing about that, there are so many things that I can teach, but I can’t teach anybody really how to teach. I can't. I can teach them what a teacher needs to teach. I can teach an analyst what analyst needs to be able to do. But the actual act as an art. It's an art. And one of the things that makes that art possible is that there has to be this grounding that is there in the language because the technical language, the way in which Human Design is structured on keynotes, that the technical language provides access to the material that then can be interpreted in the art of the interpretation in the art of the work. The other thing is that the technical language always takes you to the core. And one of the most important things in being able to deal with a client is that you need to be able to describe to them the most complex things in the simplest ways. If you do not start with the simple—I’m a 43/23, I know that deeply, if I don't start at the very beginning I can never leap off into where I can go, because I don't have the foundation. And you have to have the foundation. And the way in which we are able to bring the knowledge to the other is that we need to be able to have a language, a core language, a simple language that directs them to the values of anything that we’re discussing relative to them. All of that is a nice preamble to saying, I like things short, crisp and to the point. I don't need full sentences. I like things that are clear, that are precise, that use the technical language that comes right to the point; nothing more. So, you’re not going to meet questions that ask you to write a dissertation. They’re going to be technical questions that deserve a scientific technical response. Save the poetry and all the other stuff for your project, and keep this simple and to the point. Open Centers and Splits I'll get back to you in a bit so you can ask any questions that you would like to ask. I just want a brief view here again and talk about the nature of conditioning and the nature of conditioning as it applies to affinities. Somebody asked me, for example, is the top ranked open center, which ordinarily has the priority on the mind, does that actually have a greater priority on the not-self mind than somebody who has a split and there’s a gap. It's very important to remember the way the not-self operates. The fact is that open centers are only the main theme in people who are single definition. The ones that are most impacted by an open center are those beings that have single definition and that is just over 40% of the population is single definition, 45% of the population is split definition. And of course, we know that for the split definition it is the hanging gate, the nature of the hanging gate, and what it is open to, that is, the deep conditioning element that’s on the other side that becomes the primary priority for the way in which the not-self mind is going to make its decisions. --- PAGE 111 --- LESSON NINE: Exam Preparation 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 103 It doesn't mean that that negates the value of all those open centers and the strategies they bring. They are secondary to what is going to be the focus of the not-self mind, the most important thing for the not-self mind, which is going to be that bridge. Now, where you get a mix is in the triple split, because the triple split doesn't have the same kind of absolute reliance on the other. It doesn't. It isn't addicted to the bridge in the way in which the basic split is addicted to the bridge. So, what that means is that in the triple split you have a combination. That is, you have a combination of the impact of the open centers and the combination of where to the various bridges happen to be. My tendency is to look in the open centers as being much more powerful in terms of the way in which they're going to impact the not-self mind and its decision making. But there will be certain possibilities. For example, let's say somebody who is a triple split and their generating aspect is separate from their emotional aspect and there is a possibility of a bridge there which would bridge their strategy and authority together, that would become a very, very important aspect and would rank very highly. So, I want to make sure that you don't lose perspective. It’s one of the dilemmas of being a teacher of this knowledge. I can’t teach you the holistic, if you know what I mean. I have to teach you all these parts. And the deeper we go into any particular part, the more powerful it seems, the more important it seems to be, the more overwhelming it seems to be. And again, my caution has been throughout the whole process, my caution is you've got to allow all of this to sink into what is a holistic --- PAGE 112 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 view and that holistic view of the not-self so that you have certain criteria that you can look at, certain frames that you can see it in. When you're looking at a single definition, there are those centers and there you're dealing specifically with affinities. The moment you see a split definition, whether it's a single gate bridge or it's a channel bridge or more, you know then where the thematic is going to be, you know where the pressure is going to be on the not-self mind to make decisions in order to be able to get what it wants. It is simply about using just common sense about the way in which the priorities are going to operate for the not-self mind. I guess this was first semester and at the very beginning of the program when we were looking at the openness and we were looking at these activations and you were given complex terminology that we were looking at. The first thing is an obvious. It’s an obvious because it states is so clearly, it stands out so loudly that this is the thing that really matters. That is, in the sense that whenever you're looking at an open center and you're looking at an open gate in an open center you are looking at gates that are deeply, deeply conditioned, are open, obviously to deep conditioning. And it means that being is open to the deep conditioning that's there. Now, of course in the case of the spleen, this is about the fears that can be cranked up here, because there is no consistency in this. When we are looking at the other end of the scale, that is, the receptors, the receptors are very different. The receptors are saying this is the way I find the other, this is the way I find the other, this is the way I find the other. This is where I get messed up by the other, but this is where I find the other, and of course, in finding the other, being conditioned by the other, it’s all conditioning. It is not about getting lost in the nuances, it really isn't. It is simply about understanding that each of these open up in their different ways. Whether it's a harmonic influencer, after all, this personal harmonic, that 10, yes it's having an influence in terms of when it meets the 57, but of course, this is a holistic being. The 57 shows up its conditioning, this 10 as well. The 10 is a receptor open to conditioning and open to conditioning in many ways. Receptors What we have to see is that we’re simply looking at conditioning themes in order to be able to grasp their values. For example, when you're looking at a receptor, what does a receptor say? It says these are things I'm interested in. You don't get that out of the not-self gates, because I don’t know. They don't have any fixedness. After all, this is who you are. This is something that is an attribute that is fixed in you. And this attribute that is fixed in you is interested in something. So what does this add the not-self mind as a whole? It’s interested in finding vitality. Vitality would be a really good thing to hold onto. So why don’t we find a way to get vitality to hold onto it. Maybe we just snort coke all the time. Ha, ha, --- PAGE 113 --- LESSON NINE: Exam Preparation 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 105 drug jokes aside. What the 28 looking for? Something worth fighting for; give me something to fight for, give me the energy for the good fight. That’s what I'm looking for. They’re looking for something. And they see it in the other. You don’t see it. Please don’t take that literally because they don't. They are drawn to it. Receptors, conditioning receptors—this is what I want and when I get it old boy am I going to be different. You bet. And conditioning receptors are always, always opening up either to the electromagnetic or they’re opening up to compromise, which in those cases changes the way in which that's going to feel. You open up to the compromise and instead of getting the vitality you want you get somebody that's giving you a really hard time and you don't like it. It becomes annoying. It’s all about conditioning. It’s all about seeing that every single conditioning element you can look at tells you something about underlying thematics that are there in the not-self mind. By the way, it's not that important. I needed all of you for three years to lay out all this knowledge. Actually, I needed all of my students all of these years to lay out all this knowledge. And there is all this minutia in there. Quite frankly, I don't see you often needing to go this deep in order to understand the way in which the not-self mind is operating. --- PAGE 114 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 The Nuances But this is a science. The nuances must be there. Generally speaking, there is very little difference between these. It’s all about conditioning. But yes, there are these nuances and yes; ultimately they need to be explored. They will tell us a lot about how deeply we truly can map the not-self mind. My thing is do we really want to pay that much attention on mapping the not-self mind when we can map the true mind? There has to be a balance in this. We need to be able to deliver to the passenger the knowledge that’s essential for them to recognize that they have been deeply conditioned, not simply at the physical level, but deeply, deeply conditioned on the mental plane. And for them to see how profound that conditioning is because you can pull those themes out. You never think you have enough energy. If you have somebody that’s got the 18th gate and they don’t have the 58, they can have four motors and still not think they have enough energy and vitality. Imagine the not-self. And of course, the moment that you're looking at anybody is the moment that you can look beyond the affinities, you can look beyond what is their particular definition type, you can see the deeper nuance. But what the personality needs is to be shattered on the surface. It is those affinities and is that gate that’s missing for the bridging, that combination that's missing, that’s the thing that drives its mind. That's what it needs to meet, that’s what it needs to grasp. Oh yes, we know that they're all these other values. Obviously, the moment that you're dealing with the knowledge that we have here with the gates, the moment you put it together with an open center that is in its affinity relationship impacting on the mind, then you begin to see the sub-levels of that impact. If this were a single definition, if this was their open spleen, we would know that the priority for this mind would be holding onto things that aren’t good for it. so, what would it want to hold on to—that vitality; it would want to hold onto the ambition it doesn't have, it would want to hold onto the power to struggle that it doesn't have, and it would hold onto all of those things and be transformed in that, because the life force emerges that is neither this nor that and takes them away from their nature, and they hold onto it and that's all they been seeking. So you get the nuances, you get to see the secondary and tertiary levels in which these open centers act in this way. By the way, everything that I introduced here was really intended as an accompaniment to affinity. In other words, to be able to see that when you do have somebody's open center in order for you as a Rave Psychologist, to be able to take them deeper into their process, you can see the sub- themes that are part of what they have prioritized as a not-self mind. And of course, every time that you can express any of these sub-themes, it has a deep shattering impact on the personality construct. This is what we're all about, after all, we’re about the shattering of the not-self, breaking it down, breaking it down so that it's possible that its true awareness can emerge. And that we can finally leave this behind as bad news and revisit it as good news. Because the --- PAGE 115 --- LESSON NINE: Exam Preparation 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 107 moment that the mind isn’t making decisions is the moment that all of this openness points to the way in which its wisdom system is designed to operate in terms of the way in which it collects information from the world around it. If you have a hanging gate, you’re supposed to have a hanging gate. Like before the class when we were caught in our interesting duality conversation. The hanging gate, it is the “this and that.” It is the thing that suckers you into the madness of the not-self or is the very thing that points you towards what you are here to be able to process and grasp. How beautiful that can be. How beautiful openness is. We are more openness than activation, after all. We are here to fully embrace the experience of being the ultimate filter. This is what the whole transition of the decision making process into the vehicle brings about. It brings about the possibility that the personality crystal can really do what it is designed to do, which is to be the perfect filter, and the perfect filter that can only operate through a finely tuned perfect frequency of the holistic being. And it's then that all of those receptors, all of those not-self conditioners, all of the harmonic influencers, all of this stuff, it’s at that moment that they become the warp and woof of the beauty that's possible in that filtering consciousness what it truly is here to grasp, to master and to return according to its nature, according to its cross, its profile, its this, its that, its whatever. All we’re looking at when we're looking at the not-self is that we’re looking at everything that takes the mind away and says here use this to make a decision. That's what you need to see. That's what you need to be able to explain. Use this to make a decision. That's what it's always doing. This is the not-self mind. And we know how deep the distortion is, the distortion is incredible. The Need to Have Depth in the Knowledge And yet, at the same time, please understand something about your role relative to the client you will deal with. I have a rule of thumb. I'm really close to the edge of it. That is, you need to know an awful lot more than anyone that you're going to help or teach in this knowledge. And you need to have an awful lot more because you need to be fully secure in your frequency as you give the knowledge to the other and deal with the way in which they respond or ask questions or whatever the case may be. So much of the knowledge that I have been giving you as part of your training is so that you will have that in depth and distance, because mostly what you're going to deal with is the surface. It is the greatest struggle of all. There is no greater struggle than the struggle with the surface. Strategy and authority breaks through that for the vehicle, but for the mind, the surface has to be confronted as penetratingly, as powerfully, as accurately as possible. And what that is focused on is the basic conditioning, the basic way in which the mind establishes its not-self decision making process. How does the mind decide? This is what we have to get across. --- PAGE 116 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 So obviously, this is where the importance is in terms of any kind of testing that I will bring you to. It is obviously very important that these two aspects, that is, understanding the conditioning elements of gates, understanding the conditioning elements of the centers, that this is something that is absolutely essential and will be or can be part of any question in testing. Again, as I said, I haven’t written these things, so I don't honestly know what I’m going to put in there, but that certainly is a fundamental part of the basic work that’s going to be necessary. Remember that next semester I'm going to take you through a training process. I’m going to train you how I expect this knowledge to be brought to the other within the context of the Center for Human Differentiation. And obviously, when we're dealing in terms of the mind and we’re dealing with the personality, we’re always going to be beginning in the same place. We’re going to begin with two basic things. We’re going to begin with the opening up of the understanding of the influence of the not- self on that mind. And at the same time, we are going to focus on the dilemma of transference and offer to this mind the technique of being able to look for it. The Test: Internal and External In terms of responsibility in the upcoming test, you're going to be responsible exclusively for the internal and external. That is, for the cognition and motivation of what is through the internal the style of the mind. And responsible for the perspective that is there in terms of the way in which the nodes operate. You're not going to be responsible for link nodes. You’re not going to be responsible for base orientation. This is something I will cover in more detail as we enter into the next semester and before the next testing. I do recommend to all of you if you have not done so already that to get the digital book for Base orientation [History of Geometry] and for Lunar and Planetary Color and my suggestion is that either through the audios you have or written that you re- familiarize yourself with that when we have our break. I think it would be very helpful for you, particularly the base orientation because it is quite complex and it is not going to be a major element in your work, but you will see that it can end up being a very, very important aspect of all of our work. So, it is information for you to familiarize, particularly those of you who didn't take the course itself, to really make sure that you go through the material. It is very important. It is really what explains how the holistic vehicle is held together, and in terms of our work, ultimately, being able to understand the holistic process not just simply our particular specialty that's there within it. But in terms of this test coming up, no link nodes, no base orientation, simply what we have been dealing with, the fundamentals of motivation, of transference, and again understanding why transference takes place. What that transference is, and again being aware of the view. In other words, it’s the Internal and External, the --- PAGE 117 --- LESSON NINE: Exam Preparation 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 109 Affinities and the gate values for conditioning which makes up the basic material that is going to there, or at least what I’m going to select from in terms of the test. Study Focus for the Left and for the Right One final thing before I open this up to your questions. I know for some of you it is a repetition, but it is important for me to state it. There is a huge difference between being left and right. I think it is very important that if you are mentally left that you see clearly that you need to focus on certain things, don't waste your energy on what doesn't need your focus, it is not going to be productive. If you are right it is exceedingly important that you don't place strategic pressure on yourself to look this way or that. It is really just simply about continuing what is your ongoing process and the way in which you integrate Design in your life. It is very, very important the way in which you move through this process. I think it is more important than the test itself. It is really about your nature and really about understanding what it means to be unique and the privilege in being unique. The privilege of being unique is that no measurement system can ultimately matter to you. That is, the timing may not be right, whatever the case may be, but the reality is that will be next semester. I'm answering Kumud’s question, and again I was going to include it, by the way in this semester, but it was not possible. It hasn't been transcribed yet, and it won't be available until the next semester and I want to make sure that the material is available for everybody before I put them under any pressure to have to deal with that. It’s very important information, after all. And again, it has to do with the whole all conditioning aspect, but we'll get to that later. I want to make sure that you really see that. I know that there is pressure in all this. I know that there are fears in all of this, rational and otherwise. My comment yesterday is that without fear this isn't something that is really for you in the sense that there has to be some, whether it's nervousness, anxiety, fear, whatever it is, the way it works out, it is part of the underlying way in which intelligence works. This is what drives intelligence. But we’re not here to be caught up in it. We’re not here as a passenger to get caught up in the way in which the vehicle and the brain system prepares itself for this kind of a challenge; we’re not. We're here to watch the process. You are here to watch yourself go through this process. And whatever your vehicle is going to go through, whether it's up or down, whether it's happy or not, whether it's confident or not, whether it's this or that, simply to watch it without getting involved in it. It’s not an easy thing, I know. I’m very well aware of that. But the most important thing that uniqueness brings to the life is that you are no longer subject to measurement. You must understand that. I have no right to measure you and I am not. That is, I do not measure you as beings. I don't care what the results are in that sense, it doesn’t make any difference. I'm just following a necessary legal program that has to be done. It has nothing to do with the measurement of the being. And we have all of this pressure that all of us have had on ourselves all of our lives about these new kinds of --- PAGE 118 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 moments in our lives. And the way in which we treat ourselves as we build up to that moment and as we leave that moment behind. You cannot stop the vehicle from playing out its drama, but if you have your distance, you will see the beauty of what it is to begin to awaken as a passenger that you can just watch it. In your correctness, just watch it; nothing more, nothing less. This is about you. If you’re operating correctly out of your strategy and authority, that is all that matters. And just go through the process. I open it up to any of your questions, comments, whatever. The Betas Q: I would like to know if the affinity or the changes—last week you had an example with an open throat and an open root. According to the impact ranking, root is higher than throat. And then Alok said something about that you have a little number and suddenly you said, oh, actually in this exception, the open throat would be more important. Is that just a one-off in that, or in other times? Ra: No, as I said last time it is specifically one-off. I have the illustration up, you can see it. It is specially a one-off. That is, it can only exist in somebody that only has those two centers open and everything is defined. It's only somebody who has an open throat and has an open root in which there is this switching of the priority; only those. So, it is a very unique exception in that sense. The betas are something unto themselves, these wildcards. And in relationship to each other they have a very different structuring than in relationship to the whole. So, the moment you bring in the third open center is the moment that it would immediately revert back and the root would have a higher impact than the throat. But the moment it’s just the two of them the throat would then take on the higher impact ranking. --- PAGE 119 --- LESSON NINE: Exam Preparation 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 111 Receptors Q: You were talking about that chart that we were looking at before and you said something about the hanging gates are pointing to what we need to understand and know. Now, were you talking about the gate itself, or the harmonic as being the thing that we are here to know or both? Could you kind of explain that? Ra: Anything that we don't have is what we seek. That’s the madness of the genetic imperative. Now, obviously some are stronger than others. If you have a hanging gate, obviously the other side really has quite an attraction to you. If you don't have the other gate, if it's an open channel, you don't have the same kind of attraction, but still, it’s there. Again, these are receptors at either end. The receptors, in and of themselves, are waiting for things. So, all of it is looking for something. That’s us. This is the way that genetically we are designed. We’re constantly being drawn, being pulled by those forces that tap into our receptors. The fact that you have an open channel doesn't mean there aren't receptors there. There are receptors at either end. So, we’ll see that. No, I’m not going to do weak point now, because I don’t want to confuse what we're dealing with and it really isn’t a part of what this test is. As I said, the materials for review will be available in the break and I will deal with the subject specifically when we come back. I would rather focus on what you're responsible for now. Split Definition Q: Ra, when someone has a really wide split, you don’t have a particular focus, but you still do the primary area of conditioning as the split. They think everybody else has the problem, I know that, part of it. But I’m just confused about where the centers might come in. Ra: Again, if you’re a split definition and it doesn't matter whether it's a single gate split or it’s some kind of giant split, the fact is that becomes a priority. It is a priority that is greater than any open center in and of itself. The open centers will only be secondary to that priority. If it's a really broad split, the kind of thing where you see somebody with a head/ajna and they've got the emotions to the root or something, when it is a huge split the not-self tends to just want to be whole. It doesn’t know it any other way. There’s no real specific, because there’s often so many ways in these very large splits where the focus could be. One of the things to use is circuitry. Circuitry is very helpful in that. In other words, if for example, you had somebody that had this definition here, the logical definition up there and they were split off, let's say from the 18/58 down here, and there was this big gap in between, there would be a number ways obviously for it to hook up. --- PAGE 120 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 But the logical, the 17/62, the 16/48 that actually would be much more interesting to this being than any of the other possibilities the way it could hook up. And in that sense, their overall sense of wanting to be whole would become one about the only way to be whole is to get organized and to find the right pattern and all of these things that are going to be part of whatever is in that whole construct. The wider the split, the more general or generic you have to be. So, you have this being where the priority is that they need to be whole. But again, just because you cannot pinpoint it exactly in the bridging doesn't mean all of a sudden that the open centers take over as a priority. They don't. They will be secondary to it. I’m going to make this decision because I want to be whole. And I want to be whole in order to prove myself. I want to be whole because I don't know when enough is enough and I'm just going to stay at it. I want to be whole because I'm sure that's going to be my direction in life. In other words, the openness becomes secondary to the overall demand of what the split brings. In other words again, the hierarchy, the establishing of a hierarchy in the not-self mind, it's always present. The Sacral and Its Ranking Q: Last week you were saying with the sacral as number eight that the background for that is that most people, 68% are Generators. Before that, my logic, if I had been looking at a projector chart would be to up the impact for the sacral. I would have thought that that was such an impact on a projector or manifestor, but manifestors have some energy center. So, I just wanted some comment about that. Ra: Well, it’s very good insight and in some ways it would seem absolutely logical, except that this is not about the impact on the body, it is truly about the impact on the not-self mind. And in terms of the not-self mind it does not rank well. It does not. The not-self mind is rooted in what is generally unavailable. That's why we have this ranking and that’s why we get to see the percentages. The fact is that, when you look at the heart center and you see how many people don't have the --- PAGE 121 --- LESSON NINE: Exam Preparation 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 113 heart center you can see how powerful a conditioning force this actually is. It’s an enormous conditioning force in terms of the way in which the mind operates. The other thing is that in many ways I think it is a very poignant that the mind really isn't interested in the life force. That’s really something to think about; you know what I mean. That is, for the mind the sacral is in many ways the most primitive part of the vehicle. And particularly if you're a projector or a manifestor or a reflector, it’s something you’re aware of. But anyway, that was a nice comment. Nodal Transference Q: The other thing I get a little bit confused about is the transference with the nodes and the transference with the personality. I have a particular friend who has 1st color personality and 4th color nodes, so I would assume there’s a lot of not-self. And as a not-self with the nodal transference to survival, that becomes something she identifies with, and it's sort of takes precedence over the personality transference, would that be right. Ra: In order really to understand transference at the nodal level, because again, the nodes, the lunar and planetary square, are not crystals. We only speak of crystal in the relationship of the Sun/Earth. Only there do we have true color, tone and base, only there. The moment that you're looking at nodes, you're looking at resonance. And because of the link nodes, again I don’t want to get into all of this, because of the link nodes, even though you can have as an example as you gave that 1-4 and the assumption would be that it's having its impact, it is not because it is in no way connected to the personality system in that way. It isn’t. It resonates to what's on the outside to what the link node takes it to. It resonates to the other, it resonates to the program. It's very, very different. So, there are enormous subtleties in looking at color influence when we're looking at the nodes. What we tend to look at is we just tend to look at the basics. That is, the left and right of the view. And of course, this is what you're responsible for, understanding the nature of the perspective. That is the fundamental key. But in terms of the way in which transference operates in the link nodes, they’re like the Moon and the planets in that in essence there is no real transference in the sense that they go from this to that. It's that their dilemma is that they resonate to what is underlying in the other and not to the other’s transference. Again, this is very complex material. It is not what you're responsible for in this time. Both lunar and planetary square, and base orientation, are available. And as I said, I really recommend that you all pay attention to this material because it's very, very important. At least for the next as we get more sophisticated in what we're looking at. --- PAGE 122 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 [Written comment: that’s a relief, not to be responsible for nodal color transference] Ra: No, you’re not responsible for nodal color transference. Q: I thought that there was some kind of transference. I though I remember in my color reading, because my node is a 1 that if people pull me into need that I need to be cautious of that. Maybe I’m just confused. Ra: No, it actually takes place, but it takes place in a very sort of different way. For example, you meet somebody that has a 4 and what they’re transferred to is a 1 and what you resonate to is their 4. And in a sense, it feels like transference. It’s very complex. And as I said, because we continue to talk about it I don’t to put all this in your head before this test. Q: I know, but my color is a 1 so transference of the 1 to a 4 is resonating with their transference, okay. Yeah, I’m getting confused. Ra: Yes, because it doesn't operate as a motivation. Remember that. Even calling it transference is not precise. It is creating a harmonic view and in fact it leads to a lot of difficulties because if you're absolutely correct in your nodes, you're always seeing through other people's transference. It’s just something to think about. The Strategic Being Q: I have one other question. Yesterday you explained to me that I understood ideally if you can do a PHS environment and then view, you build a seat for the passenger. In the exception where you have somebody very left and strategic, you can start with the personality. And then go back and build the seat. Is that right? Ra: Oh, it’s absolutely right. Think about the left, the left is fundamentally strategic. Human Design provides strategy. The strategy has a different value. For somebody who's right, it's a mechanic; for somebody who’s left, it's a strategy. As long as they enter into that strategy correctly what’s important for them is to immediately go to what is their strategic gift. That is, the ability to be able to hone them mentally on to something they need to focus on. It is much more important for the strategic being to begin to work on mind immediately in the same way that it's extremely important for somebody who is right to immediately go to work on the body. Now of course, the mind is also going to be very important for them as well, but there are priorities, in that sense. But for strategic being, that is, somebody that’s got a strategic mind, let's just leave it at that, somebody who has a left mind, it’s very, very important for them to be focused on transference and very important for them to be given the opportunity to see the depth of conditioning. It is just a key for them. --- PAGE 123 --- LESSON NINE: Exam Preparation 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 115 In fact, being strategic, the moment that they align those two things together, that is, they begin to notice the advantage of following their strategy and authority, they begin to become conscious of the level of conditioning in them, and then is when it's an opportunity for them to begin to look at deeper processes. The left is quite healthy going through a normal seven-year cellular deconditioning process. As a matter of fact, there should be no pressure on them to do anything other than work on their mind and stay with their authority until they go through a deconditioning process and that can begin to open them up to what is possible in terms of PHS dietary regimen, the environmental, because understand in that process of deconditioning they’re also aligning themselves to the correct direction. They are beginning to move in a way that is healthy for them. The Right Being It's very different when you're dealing with the right. The moment that you're dealing with the right mind, you know right away that the mind is deeply homogenized and that just being able to give it more information isn't necessarily going to be the thing that is truly able to heal them. That healing has to begin in their body and for me it is clear that the only way to help anyone in their right-ness, that is, particularly if you have a PHS, if your design internal is right, as in this case, or if your personality internal is right, again in this case we had a quadruple right here, this is somebody that needs immediately, urgently to deal with their food issues. In other words, the PHS dietary regimen is something that is going to be a bedrock for these beings and what we're going to notice at the psychological end of this, is that the moment that they begin to operate correctly in terms of their nourishment, that’s the moment that their deeper levels of potential perception begin to reveal themselves. In other words, the only way that you can reach a right mind is by physically nourishing it so that it is ready to be able to grasp for itself what it means to be right minded. One of the things that you'll notice when we get to the next semester and I start training for the programs is how different the approach is or the way in which the approach is different for the left and for the right. If you remember, originally I was going to separate this program into those approaches, but I'm glad I didn't, as a matter of fact, it's much more appropriate to do this at the close where you can see how it's going to be handled regardless of who is going to be dealing with the lefts and the rights, and so forth and so on. The Center for Human Differentiation And again, something to understand about this knowledge in our work, I mention that yesterday, the Center for Human Differentiation is not place that offers readings. In terms of Rave Psychology it offers an enrichment process, an --- PAGE 124 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 enrichment environment, the ability to be able to enrich the awareness and the consciousness of a being, to be able to help them, to be able to open up what is their unique potential. And it's not something that’s done just simply by giving somebody a bit of information and sending them on their way. As you will see, you’re going to be trained to offer what is a program. As a matter of fact, one of what ultimately will be many programs, this will be an introductory program. It will be a six-week program. And a beginning of a way of understanding how we're going to use the knowledge that we have, how we’re going to apply it, and how we’re really going to be of service. It’s not going to be your responsibility to have to guide somebody to whether they need to be involved in PHS or Rave Psychology. We’re going to have a very sophisticated human reception area that is going to meet those people who come originally into the Center that we’re going to be able to have the background necessary to be able to discerning where they should be headed or if there's going to be introductory films. It’s actually one film that is an introduction to all the services and the programs that are available within the Center so that clients have an understanding of, relative to their own experiment at the given time that they're in their experiment, what will be most helpful for them. Obviously, if they're right, they’re going to be given different sort of impetus or direction than those that are left. But our program is one in which we begin this guided deconstruction and ultimately the breakdown of the not-self personality. It’s very exciting. Basic Information Regarding the Exam Okay, I’ll leave it at that note, just some basic information; the exam will be at the same time as last time. It will be at 15 minutes after the hour. As before, I will be in the classroom at the normal time, 20 minutes before the hour. The classroom will stay open for any possible questions or problems. We worked on it after the last process to make sure that we've upgraded the testing zone, also upgraded the delivery afterwards, that is, my ability to mark them for you to see my markings or comments when you get your results. And as I said, the testing will be based on a three charts, five questions for each. The charts will be incorporated into the program as the main chart was last time; you will have them relative to the questions that are necessary. Technically, I assume it will operate very nicely and all of that will work well. Time Change for the US There is also a Summer time difference. That is correct. That’s for the Americans to pay attention to. Unfortunately this year there's a big gap. In the US you go on Summer time on Sunday, which means that to pay attention to the GMT times is --- PAGE 125 --- LESSON NINE: Exam Preparation 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 117 basically what I'm saying. But what it means for US students that until the end of the semester after Sunday you’re going to come to classes one hour later. It doesn't impact the Europeans at all because a semester ends before we change the Summer time here in Europe which is the 30th of March, which is at the end of the Ibiza event. So, it’s just something to be aware of. I have posted a notice, by the way, if you missed it on the front page of the JAM and it will stay there for a bit so that everybody sees that. But anyway, for those of you in the States you come one hour later after Sunday or on Sunday for Linda's lecture, as an example. You would come an hour later. Just check the GMT times. Every program that we run in the JAM is only listed by GMT so you can always sort of calculate it. I don’t know what you mean Genoa. Genoa: In MMI, for the United States there is a variation, there is a time change that is not accounted for in the MMI between the time that the time changes in America and the time it changes in other places in the world. Ra: You’re going to have to explain that one to me, Genoa. Genoa: I sent in a ticket about it, so it’s probably not correct for me to bring it up right now, so we can deal with it later. Anyway, folks, I wish you well, as always. Enjoy your process. Enjoy the movie. Do be entertained, by the way. Hopefully I will be able to write you a deeply, deeply entertaining exam. And you’re just going to be so happy to go through it. Anyway, aside from my black humor, to all of you, you take care. Until next week, bye for now. ~ --- PAGE 126 --- 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 119 Lesson Eleven Post Exam 2 Discussion I think the biggest dilemma for most of you and something that I will correct for next year’s students was not really having enough preparation testing-wise. What I'm going to do for them is that in the first semester I will give them a practice test to give them a sense of what's demanded and how to work in the environment and do those things. Retesting in August I also want all of you to know something that in August I am going to write a set of exams and any of you that feel that you would like to be retested, basically I will write a 60 point exam broken up into four parts, so those of you that feel that you'd like to be retested or want to improve on the grades that you have or whatever the case may be, it will be available in August. Because I want to make sure that the results that many of you had in the first exam, or even in this one, that clearly there are things that you feel that you can do better. I'm obviously open to that; otherwise, I wouldn’t be offered that. So that's something anyway to keep in mind, those of you that are concerned about having an off test. Again, in offering that retesting I will do it in a way this correct. That is, I will take the best grade that you achieve out of either the original or that second one. But nonetheless, it gives you the opportunity to be able to do that. When in August? I have not slated that yet, because I won't really have a chance to even prepare that until sometime in my break coming up. I plan on writing the tests that remain for the programs for both PHS and Rave Psychology for this year and also to write secondary tests that can be used in August. As soon as I get that done, I will certainly schedule it. When are the tests next semester? I have not scheduled them. I will do so, though, after the Ibiza Event, when I’m off and have a chance to do what is basically my paper work. I'll make sure that it's listed in the news section of your course area so that you have the dates for the tests themselves. Okay, I open this up to your questions, your comments, whatever. After all, this is the end of what has been a fascinating time. And these weeks have been very exciting. --- PAGE 128 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 120 Student: I’m curious if you looked to see which questions were answered incorrectly the most. If you did statistics on it to see, okay, most people got number 10 wrong or whatever that might be, did you take a look at that? That might be interesting. Ra: As I said, number one here, because if you didn't get number one right, you didn’t get number two or number three right and you probably didn't get number five right, because in the second and third parts, people did extremely well. This is where we have been focused for longtime, obviously, the conditioning aspects were from earlier work and you all got a surprise with that in terms of the first exam. But if there was a place where there was a problem for people this was the place. Test Answers and Personality Nodes Student: This is more of a comment than a question, but my personality nodes are possibility, so, I notice that I don't like questions that require one answer, one word. I like to give the possibilities. Now, presumably, that’s not-self. Ra: That’s not true, because again something to recognize about the gifts that come from us from our perspective that this is the way in which our passenger is supposed to operate. And I noticed that in the way in which you answer, but you do provide the answer. When I look at what people are writing in more complex configurations in their answers, I'm looking at if the answer is there. What they need to do to get to the answer is their process, but the answer is there. Right Mind: Be Present with Your Sensory Tools to Learn Student: My next comment is kind of about yesterday when you mentioned about right fixed minds. I'm thinking that transference for me, because I’m a 6th color, every time I try and bring my mind in, that’s transference. Ra: Absolutely. I had a discussion yesterday about the right mind and the process of taking in information how there is this absolute requirement for presence. I've been having fun, like with Cathy, for example, with her tonal sensitivity to touch and suggesting to her that she, because she's right, as she listens to the lectures that she has physical contact with the diaphragm on the speaker so that you can take in the information in a way that is really very profound. The same thing with Chiara who has 4th tone and I suggested to her that she blindfolds herself and simply just listens as intently as she can. It is the secret of being right is this presence. But more than that is being able to begin to work with the rudiments of the sensory tools that you have, to begin to take advantage of them, to begin to exercise them. The receptive has an ability to take in information at many, many new levels. You cannot do that if you're trying to be strategic in the process. Your comment, Kumud, about typing notes as you're going along. This is basically a right person saying yes, I’m right, but I’m going to be left now, thank you. This is an act of left-ness to take those notes because it’s a lack of trust in what is the fundamental gift that you have, --- PAGE 129 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Post Exam 2 Discussion 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 121 which is absorption. And operating the keyboard, even though it may be effortless at some point, the fact is that it is taking away the attention that is necessary for you to grasp fully what is supposed to be going into your system. I’ve mentioned it before that for me right-ness demands a level of surrender that you wouldn’t necessarily ask of somebody who may not be prepared for it, because in fact, that is really what it's about. The learning process as a right being is an absorption process, which means you have to be absolutely present. That’s what it means. It means you have to be absolutely present. It’s not like the left. The left doesn't work that way. The left has to have something that is interested in, it has to have something that is stimulated by, and so it ends up with its strategic focus. But it's so important to understand about the right that everything is simply about being present. You have to be there, you have to be fully there in the process. I mentioned the example yesterday of my son who's right and who is at the top of his school and he does not study. I have explained to him many times that success for him is how attentive he is at any moment. And as long as he's attentive, as long as he takes everything in in the classroom environment, as long as he takes it in, he will always do well, and he does. This is the magic that is there in right-ness. Student: I heard that yesterday and I can feel the truth of it, and at the same time, I feel the weight of my color transference. The part of me that wants to do surrender, I don't know how to get it out of the way other than watch that it’s all turned around. Ra: Oh I know what you mean, because of course I'm the other side. I’m a 3rd color and I remember the struggle for me, this struggle to not be tempted by dumb innocence, because dumb innocence for me was such an easy copout. I understand what you mean. Yet at the same time, you have to be able to push things away in order to be able to let go and push your keyboard away. It’s something to do. Student: Well, if my nodes are active can I get the keyboard out later? Ra: If you are not for yourself, who will be? And if you are only for yourself, what are you? And if not now, when? Student: It is a dilemma, though, Ra. I’m not sure for receptive person especially if you think about it, I’ve been thinking about my circuitry and I've been thinking about the fact that I'm a generator and that I'm emotional, and I also keep thinking about the thing that you say that if you don’t teach what you’ve been learning, you only have so long for the storage, but I'm wondering as a receptive person how long that storage is, is it longer than you as a strategic person? And so when I hear Kumud asking about her keyboard, I wonder if, in fact, that's the way she steps the information inside of her through another step she's got. She’s got the channel of talent, so they have to practice again and again, so, I'm just curious. Ra: First of all, I don't think that anything that a right being takes in is ever lost. I think that certain access no longer becomes viable because they're not in the right place and they’re not dealing with the right beings who are going to draw out the --- PAGE 130 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 122 information that needs to be drawn out. But there is no crutch that the right can lean on. Slowly, but surely over the years I've been trying to introduce how deeply mutative our process really is. I've brought a lot of radical concepts into the lives of people who meet Human Design about the nature of your aura and how important it is to protect it, the way in which the PHS eating regimens transform the social dynamic of the way in which food has been used as a conditioning factor, all of these things brings radical changes. Nothing brings a more radical change than what it means to come to grips with your right-ness and particularly with somebody like you, Cathy, in which it is so extreme, after all. You are the four rights, so this is where the mutation is sitting. We live in a strategic world, this is the homogenized world, and it is strategic. It is a false strategic world. It is homogenized and ignorant, but nonetheless it is what it is. It is the way our societies function, it is the way in which the educational systems, our relationships to the world around us, all of this functions within the strategic conditioning field. So, for somebody that is right, there is an enormous fear that opens up, an abyss that opens up as you begin to let go of the false security that strategy has brought you; that is, the strategic processes have brought you. To be truly right is to be absolutely present, period, nothing else required. And it goes deep, deep into the nature of trust. I trust absolutely in my authority. Absolutely, to the point that there is absolutely nothing that can change that. Inner Authority Gives the Right Survival in the Strategic World Student: Yes, and that fights with my open head and ajna all the time. My most comfortable position, I can feel that, is to be completely right. But you’re right; it’s trust. Ra: Yes, it’s trust because you have the technique, it’s what strategy and authority brings, you have the technique so that you can be protected, you can rely on the fact that you know how in your own way to be able to navigate through the process. This is what gives the right the ability to be able to survive in a strategic world, is that there is an inner authority that they can tap into. But once that inner authority is tapped into, everything else has to be let go. This is the whole thing about being right is to let go of all of that strategic conditioning, whatever the tool is, let go of it. You don’t need it. In the end, what you’ll see is that you don’t books, you don’t need audios, you don’t need this and you don’t need that, and I mean that. All you need is to take it in absolutely when you take it in, and it’s there. And until you trust it, it’s like generators discovering their sacral, until you trust it, you cannot ride its power. Until you trust in your right-ness, you can never ever get to have this remarkable potential flourish in your life. --- PAGE 131 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Post Exam 2 Discussion 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 123 And yes, it requires in its own way more than the strategic. Left: Find Perfected Strategies Those beings that are left, those beings simply need to find those perfected strategies for them. And it's the way they're trained and it's the way that they will move through the process. But it’s not like it is an alien journey for them. But if you are right, it's entering into totally uncharted territory and you're doing it alone, you’re doing it within yourself. And the only thing that you can trust in that, the only thing that you will ever be able to trust in that is yourself. The Magic of the Tonal Right Potential Student: It seems to me that I’ve had glimpses of being totally present. I’ve had windows where I’ve found myself being that, and I didn't understand it. Actually I thought it was something mystical, and I kind of understand that it’s something incredibly banal and that color transference is the root of where I lose the ground of my cognition. Ra: It’s the ‘eat of all ruvals’; what to do. This is the great challenge. But, there’s something to understand about the passenger, your passenger has already figured out what's going on. That’s what's happening to you; otherwise, you wouldn’t be aware of it. You’re already beyond it. It’s just about letting it be. It is mystical, it is magical. It’s mystical and magical what is there underneath, what the potential that lies in the tonal possibility that is there on the right. It's really a remarkable thing. It’s just what it is. Variables Book Coming [Written Question: Ra would you like to clear a little bit more what difference you see between the two types: 'right mind and left brain'(Andrea) and left mind right brain (me)] I cover all of that in Variables, Elfriede. I've gone through every variation and they will be available in digital book form in about two weeks, or so, or whatever, but they will be available. Programs for CHD Introduced Next Semester Student: Okay, so, I’m on my right-ness jag, I feel like the problem for me, and that’s probably authentic because it’s feel, how do you navigate—let’s just say even when you have the clinic for differentiation, as a right person, if you aren’t very --- PAGE 132 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 124 structured, how do you actually get to the material in some kind of a format that's presentable to people. It's like doing a reading for me, it's like a roulette wheel, who knows what you get when you get a reading with me, so it’s almost like you ought to partner a right person with a left person so some of the basic mechanics get covered and then you can just pull out of me whatever is the fill-in, but that's also kind of strange. Ra: Well, I think you’ll find it very exciting next semester because of course I'm going to be introducing the actual programs that we are going to be offering. And the programs are rooted both to left and right and to both. I think they’re very exciting and I think they’ll lay a foundation for the way in we can really enrich the whole personality process, enrich the whole possibility and potential of the passenger. I worked throughout this year in developing what would be the first programs offered in the Center, because as I said, it's not a reading place, the center, it’s programs. I'm looking forward to elaborating on all that next semester and being able to lay out the foundation of how we approach this. Trust What? Student: I would like talk about trust because for me the keyword is trust, and it’s trusting myself, but it depends on being able to trust, for instance in this exam process, trusting the process, trusting you, Ra, that you’re looking at it with your side and looking at it from the right side also, once I was able to do that it was like a safety net and then I can relax and just be present without worrying about anything. It’s not about judgment, it’s not about competition; I’m very allergic to competition, I already mentioned that before. And it comes from anybody, even the right people I get competitive and it’s just something that makes me kind of paralyzed. I don't understand it, and would love to explore ways where we can be together and it's not based on who is best, it’s based on how to get the information you want us to get the best way possible, and then out there. Competition Ra: Oh, I certainly understand your point, but then again, I’m a mechanic and I look at the bodygraph and I see that, as a matter of fact, I just taught that the other day, talking about the fork in the road, the difference between the 51/25 and the 21/45. It is through the 51/25 that uniqueness gets its opportunity, that diversity is created and it is fundamentally competitive. Competition is something that is natural in our species. I’m somebody who is a great admirer of Darwin. It is obvious to me that everything about the nature of existence as a bio-form is rooted in competition at one level or another. But competition that operates out of homogenization and ignorance, obviously that is something that is not tasteful and it is not something to be enjoyed. But then again, we are a genetic form and as such the gene pool demands excellence, it demands --- PAGE 133 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Post Exam 2 Discussion 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 125 competition in order to be able to have the most fertile, healthy, the best package of whatever the case may be. All existence is built on that. The reality is that competition only is something that feels uncomfortable when one isn’t correct within oneself. That is, the moment that you can exist in comfort, whatever your signature happens to be, in the authority that you have, comparisons don't mean anything anyway. It isn't about what other beings think, or whether other beings create some kind of a comparison structure, what is the point. The fact is that we each stand within our own uniqueness and within our own uniqueness there is no comparison. It is there within us, it is a mechanism. There are always those that are better at this and that and than the other, but it isn't about that meaning that when you look at a being in their individuality out of their correctness that there is anything that you can find that is negative. It isn't about that. And it isn't about seeing them in any comparison lesser or greater to anyone else. Student: Competition is really a joke then. Ra: Our work in all of this is to be correct as individuals, and within our own uniqueness. Whatever anything is in your life, regardless of what the drama appears to be, that if you're correct, the results are correct, is the way it is. Student: Yes, there is greatness in everyone. That’s the way I look at it. They may be great differently, but everyone is unique and everybody had the potential to be. I’m going to exaggerate now, but as the potential to be a mystic, to be awake, and that’s the way I look at people. No Slack Cut for the Not-Self Student: What I hear is that you’re not cutting the not-self any slack. I just want to say, but, don’t you understand this is years of habit and you don’t have to engage in that. I’ll be curious next semester if we can deal with any of the processing that gets you into the mess of the not-self. Ra: Yeah, you have to kick that not-self hard, hard, hard until it becomes wisdom. That’s what you're doing; you’re molding the not-self into wisdom. I love the not- self. My wisdom comes out of my open centers, my open gates, my open channels like everybody else. This is where the potential for wisdom is. It is my personality consciousness that takes advantage of all that conditioning as an educational phenomenon. That's what I'm breath in, it’s the maya. I love it. But then again, I don't have a mind that has made a decision in 21 years. I don’t have any of that. So, my whole process is different. I don't see the not-self as bad, it’s wondrous. It’s a label that I have given to what happens to us when our receptors become our enemy, instead of our receptors becoming our allies. And at this point in my process, the receptors are my allies. They are my constant hookup as receptors to the nature of being, precisely as I'm intended to take it in. --- PAGE 134 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification 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 126 We’re not simply designed uniquely in terms of our activations; we’re design uniquely in terms of our openness. We each have unique combinations of the way in which we establish our correctness and move through space in the way in which we can interpret phenomena. And the phenomena we interpret is the phenomena we take in through the receptors. Get Rid of your Fear What I'm telling you is to get rid of your fear. I'm not telling you to get rid of your not-self. I’m telling you to get rid of your fear. Get rid of the fear that you are not a wondrous genius receptor, because that's what you are. And you have to embrace that, you have to embrace that as deep as you can embrace anything. And to let go of all the accouterment, to let go of all the crutches, to let go of all the tools, let go, let go. And yes, I don't say this to other people in Design. You’re here mastering this knowledge, and yet I would prefer that you were all awake. And if you’re right, the opportunity for awakeness is really there and present. The strategic has to following all of these different ways to get there. There are all these steps, there are all these processes. But for the receptive, it can be there in that moment, like those experiences you described, Kumud, where suddenly there is this presence. Well, it’s always there, if you allow it to be there. And you can only allow it to be there by being fearless. This is what the not-self lives on; it lives on fear. And the right has been afraid from the moment it came into the world because it didn't come into the world with the strategic tools and it's always been trying to catch-up. And it's afraid if it doesn't have those tools it's not going to make it. And it’s fear; you have to let go. You of all people, with your training, those of you that are right, this is the greatest experiment you’ll ever, ever, ever, ever enter into. It’s in that moment where you are truly present that you resonate a frequency that others are attracted to. Remember, I’ve told you from the beginning that one of the things it's important to understand about the right is that there is a deep transpersonal quality about their nature. What is within them is there to be drawn out, but it's not like it is a hidden well in a valley. It’s got a broadcasting system, it’s got advertising, and it puts out a frequency. But you can only put out that frequency if you’re present. There is no other way. And then you begin to see what it means to be right, because you begin to see that that frequency has a magnetic quality. It draws beings towards you, so that what is there within you can be drawn out. It’s about surrender. Company for the Teacher Student: This feels more like a question for a mystical class, but I’ll ask it now, as you said for 21 years you’ve been able to be aware of your not-self because you were engineered. I remember you saying after the end of your eight-day experience that you had a deep sense, I don’t know if the work is loneliness, but something akin to that, because there wasn't anyone else to keep you company from that --- PAGE 135 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Post Exam 2 Discussion Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED 127 perception, but I feel like you’re—it's taking us—I’ve been doing this for eight years now or nine years, it’s taking us a long time, but do you finally feel like you have companionship? Ra: Oh, without question. I think it’s very humbling for somebody like me who is an ego integration being to have such a bond with so many people at such a deep level, and it is something that I share with my students, particularly those in these programs. And because of the nature of my own design, I'm so grateful to my students because in essence it is through them that this knowledge is released. I don't do that when I'm by myself, I don't do that unless there is a classroom in front of me and there's a topic and out it comes. I feel now that the distance between myself and my students, and I think that's the best way of putting it, that the distance between us and the grasp of all this, because it’s vast, this grasp, has narrowed greatly. There are students of mine who have been very inspiring to me. There is no question about that. And I think that there is beginning to be expressions of outer authority in students of mine that are expressing things that are deeply profound. I am thrilled at this point in my career as a teacher, as a messenger, that there is such a generation of students of Design who have a tremendous grasp of this knowledge, and it makes it possible to be able to communicate at a level that is really rare, and it is a communication that we share, a unique language, a unique possibility out of it. And for me as a 5/1 always the recognition that the practical banal level of Design, the strategy and authority, is still its greatest achievement because it works. It’s really good for human beings. I'm a very lucky man. I feel deeply rewarded in my process as a being and as a teacher. Student: Sometimes, Cathy, you ask the most amazing questions. It just put me in silence, thank you. Ra: The journey is everything. That’s what I love. It never stops. It’s a wonderful ride. Student: Yes, I’m riding to Ibiza today, so I’ll get a little practically closer. Ra: You have a safe trip, Stephen. Student: Yes, hopefully an eventless trip. No Better Journey Student: I would like to say that the last two semesters in both PHS and Rave Psychology has certainly been times of an enhancement or enrichment in my deconditioning process, and as a way of a more self-acceptance and being content with myself. So, not only studying the material, but actually relating it to myself and my own process. --- PAGE 136 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.

The beauty of what this kind of knowledge does is that it opens up so many doorways of perspectives to look at things and to grasp so much deeper. There is no better journey. We have these incredible self-reflected consciousness potentials that are aching to express their intrinsic differentiated beauty. It is what it’s about. It's very exciting. That’s the thing that touches me the most in my own processes is that after all of these years and I put in an enormous amount of energy into my work, I'm still excited by what I do, what the future brings. There are just so many things in the knowledge itself that are just so incredibly awesome, tantalizing, and delicious that it keeps me intrigued. Student: What’s been amazing for me is eight years and to be put under pressure to synthesize the last three really brought it all together in a way that now I get it. And as I’ve been to the dentist about a dozen times in the last two months to hear their lingo, and when they were looking at the tooth and the lateral, all the different positions of the tooth and all that stuff and it was a specific language, is great that we’re definitely ready for the next step of putting it all together into a synthesis which is a lot of fun. Student: This is slightly coat-tailing on Cathy and the whole aloneness business, it’s relating to color transference and projectors because I’ve been working with a couple of strategic generators and color transference and I’m amazed to see how they use it. I never really caught it for myself except today I keep hearing you ignoring my favorite transferred place. So, I think I just don't meet enough people who ignore it. Would that be true? Ra: That would be true. It’s such a lovely dance; we have such brilliant minds, don’t we? It’s the thing about mind that is so fascinating. It can watch itself, play with itself, twist itself, it’s such a delight. And when it's helpless—years ago I used to wear a hat that said “helpless and incompetent,” and by far it was one of my favorite hats that I ever wore. And it’s really when the mind finally surrenders to that, the helpless and incompetent, helpless to be able to do anything about the life, incompetent in terms of ever being able to make any kind of decision, it’s only then that the grandeur of mind is revealed, and it really is a grand thing. Does the Left Grasp the Right? Student: Actually it was a wonderful journey for me as well finding out finally that I am right. And what was amazing yesterday what I found out is that I guess since the beginning of 2006 I do not take any notes from any of those classes and my mind always wanted to tell me that I have to take notes, because otherwise I will forget, but somehow my body was just not doing it. It was amazing. Even last year and the year before in Ibiza I was writing like hell in my computer and I was just looking at me and doing it, and from those lectures I didn’t really grasp so much that I am grasping from these lectures. --- PAGE 137 --- LESSON ELEVEN: Post Exam 2 Discussion 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 129 The problem I see with my process is first of all of that there is a huge, huge gap between left and right, and honestly I don't think the left understands the right. I don’t think they understand a thing about us. Secondly, of course, because everybody is not-self, people do not know how to draw out our knowledge. And sometimes it’s really very annoying for me at the moment if people ask me not the right questions and I know somehow, somewhere it is stored in me, but they are unable to draw out my knowledge. Ra: You have a comment on that, Inga? Student: Yes, I do, actually. First of all, the division on the left and the right, all that new information is fairly fresh. I happen to have quite a few right-fixed people in my life, particularly a very, very close friends of mine who is a projector, right fixed and all, and yes, I agree a lot of left beings would not understand what it really is about to be right, but if you have the information then yes. I’ve been following with that and it certainly helped me a lot to really deeply understand right-fixed people. And my youngest projector son is right fixed, as well. Yes, in the not-self certainly sure, but on the other hand, it’s possible. Ra: But I really think if you look at it carefully you’re like me, we come from the same variable, we’re three parts left, one part right and the part that's right is the personality external and the personality external means that we have the ability to see the right world. So it gives us a certain advantage in that. I generally agree with Andrea in the sense that not only does the left not understand the right; it's never had any reason to. And it doesn't have anything naturally within itself that would resonate to it, necessarily. So, in that sense in the right is very alien to the left and particularly when you’re talking about homogenization. But even in students, as an example, the fact is that if you are, for example, personality left on the internal, it’s very, very difficult to grasp what the right can possibly be. It's very difficult to grasp. On the other hand, the right has the deep advantage of being able in correctness, obviously, being able to absorb left-ness, which is something interesting to think about; in other words, being able to understand the nature of the left in a way that the left can never understand the nature of right. I think as you pointed out and I think that's why in your processing of that, it's in your serendipity that in your fractal is all that right-ness, you the ability to be able to see it. It’s a gift that we have in having one part of our right-ness in that being the personality perspective. So, it gives us a certain advantage of being able to see. I know that in myself that mentally my internal doesn't really grasp this at all, but I see it. I see it's there, and I see it at work and so I have this, you could call it empathy for what is the right process. It’s been a lovely conversation; a lot of interesting topics that we’ve shared together. It’s nice to be able to do that together. By the way, I plan to have when we open up our interactive environment in May in the JAM Player that there will be study rooms and meeting rooms that will be established for working groups. --- PAGE 138 --- RP YEAR 3, SEMESTER 2: Rave Psychologist Certification Rave Psychology is a certificate program of the (IHDS) International Human Design School All Rights Reserved.
