So! You’re considering taking on the Professional Level Training Program? Great! There is one question I would ask, “Why?” Now, before you read on, really stop and answer that truthfully. I’ll wait.
If your answer was anything other than “Because, following my Strategy and Authority, it seems to be the correct thing to do,” I would suggest that you look at this choice again. Really! Here are a few “Monkey Mind Motivations” that are fairly typical for joining this training program and will ultimately get in the way of your successful completion;
The obsessive consumption of information: Our minds crave information and, boy oh boy, is Human Design a candy store for that! While you will be introduced to additional aspects of the Human Design System, it isn’t about the information. If information were the main ingredient to a powerful and effective Foundation Reading, computers could handle that. But it isn’t about the information so a computer printout of a Chart will never replace a Foundation Reading from another living, breathing, Energetic Being operating correctly.
The endless search for fixing what’s broke: Again, our Monkey Minds are convinced that there is something deeply wrong with us. Oh, we can disguise it with flowery affirmations and uplifting hopes and dreams but, deep down inside, the Monkey Mind persists with “Ya, but, if you could just get this right (whatever this is), then you would be a better person”. Your adventure through the Professional Training Level Program will be an exploration in to how your Not Self Conditioning really is running the show and to what degree you are giving your Type, Strategy, and Authority lip service; using it only if you get what you want. The process of taking your understanding of the Human Design System to a deeper level will demonstrate to you the genius of Ra’s words when he said, over and over, “It all comes back to Type, Strategy, and Authority. Nothing supersedes this.”
The “good idea” that this will be a great profession: This is a clever one! Such a juicy answer to the question “What should I do with my life?” Then, we twist that in to some sort of money making scheme. Don’t get me wrong; should Professional Analysts be able to earn a living off of providing this penetrating awareness and unique perspective on life to folks? Absolutely! Is that a good reason to become an Analyst? Nope. In fact, to me, it’s the worst reason one could come up with. Through your unfolding and blooming process, magnified in the Professional Training Level Program, you’ll soon find a place where money isn’t the issue. You’ll come a deep place of longing to bring this deeper awareness and perspective on life to others. The money you will earn will take a back seat to the query “Did my Client truly see themselves clearly and witness the beauty of who they are?”
In conclusion, I ask again, “Why are you interested in pursing the certification as a Professional Human Design Analyst?” If it truly is a result of following your Type, Strategy, and Authority, I give you my solemn promise and oath that I will do all that I can to guide, instruct, and empower you to building for yourself a strong foundation in to your understanding and appreciation for the Human Design System that will serve you throughout your training and career as an Analyst.
I look forward to seeing you in Class! (If it’s truly correct for you).
