Ra’s Words of Wisdom

Ra Uru Hu

I mentioned my fondness for technology. In 1999 I actually did my first internet teaching. These were pre-prepared kinds of animated PowerPoints and I can remember how excited I was that that would actually get up on the internet and people could gain access to it, which wasn’t that easy. It was very primitive in those days. But it was called Roads and Tunnels. And Roads and Tunnels is still available
in the States. It was one of my favorite works on the Personality and the Design, and I love that terminology.

When I look at the bodygraph, and this is something very basic in Human Design and it’s something that everyone who enters into this knowledge should be aware of, that is, this is a visual science. We are learning how to see and we’re learning how to see a matrix, and we’re learning how to analyze and understand a matrix. When I look at the G Center it’s a kind of a map for me. It’s just a mapping. It’s just about being able to look at that map and being able to see what’s going on.

And at the very basis of that map is that we have two kinds of transmission/ communication systems. We have our roads, which is the Personality, where everything is on the surface. And we have the tunnels. Of course, this is the Design. When you think of a Design as a tunnel, it’s actually a very profound way of grasping what happens to us as our Design operates. In other words, we don’t know what’s going on until it concretizes. We have no idea what it is until it concretizes.
So, you’re a 31/7 and you’re this administrating leader with your influence. You have no idea when it’s going to come out, how it’s going to come out and the moment it’s there it’s there, no preparation. You just don’t know. Of course, when you look at anybody’s Design and I mean their Human Design, it is the Design part of them that makes them uncomfortable. It is the openness that destroys their purpose. But it’s the Design that makes them uncomfortable.

Think about the person who is emotionally defined at the unconscious level only. Here you have somebody who cannot identify, cannot feel, see, watch, and be a part of the shifting of their wave. Suddenly it just goes from this to that. They don’t know why. They’ve had no preparation. It’s suddenly just there. The Design can be something that is very uncomfortable.

For us, in being able to interpret this information, this mapping, to be able to understand it is to be able to open up a place of acceptance. It’s much easier for the mind to accept the hardwired differentiation of the unconscious than it is for the mind to accept the not-self and its sway over the mind’s decision making process. That’s really difficult. Remember that every aspect of openness that you have, because of the genetic imperative, is determined to be attracted to what it is not.
