Ra’s Words of Wisdom

Ra Uru Hu

You don’t find any of this on the surface. The surface is a costume. I’m a Clarion, Cross of the Clarion, the left angle. There are probably 50, 60, 70 million of us in the world. There is only one me. The Clarion is a Clarion. They do a certain job. What they bring to that job is something else. It’s in their design, it’s in their particular scripting, and then it’s in the actor or actress underneath that is going to be there to fill out that role. It’s all role-playing. Your profile is a role. It’s why I love Shakespeare; it’s just a play, what I call the movie.

Speaking of which, an odd place to put this in, but nonetheless it jumped into my mind, a little non sequitur. There was a devastating plane crash not too long ago here in Spain in Madrid. It was an airplane trying to get off the ground and didn’t get off the ground and smashed down. There were very, very few survivors. One of the survivors was a child six or seven years old. The child had been thrown out of the plane and landed in a marshy area and managed to survive the whole thing and was picked up by a crew member. The first thing that the child said to the crew member is, “When is this movie over?” And I thought such a thing.

This is the drama of life, this is the movie. The movie is all role-playing. It’s all role-playing. It’s what we’re designed for; it’s how we’re homogenized. We’re all homogenized in these constructs. Why do you think that nothing is changed in the arts for thousands of years? And what I mean by that is they are still telling the same stories, aren’t they? Boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy meets boy, girl meets girl, girl meets boy and girl, boy and girl meets girl and boy, what are you going to do. And the roles that are associated with that, the virgins and the crones, the good guys and the bad guys, the silent type, the “this and that,” are all roles. It’s all roleplaying.

You can see the same roles going back. I love mythology. You look at the Gods. You can pick out a line of Gods maybe six or seven of them from different places in the world and they’re all doing the same job. What’s your job? I’m into thunder. Do you know how many thunder Gods there are all doing the same thunder trip? We live in a role-playing world. This is where everybody gets caught. This is where everybody is homogenized. Everybody is homogenized in the movie. They have no idea what’s going on. They don’t; none whatsoever.

Trapped underneath is this unique force, the actor or actress that can transform the lines and make them their own. It’s one of those great comments that you see made about a great performance of any actor or actress. They made the lines their own, they made the part their own, and they brought it alive in some unique way. The magic of that is what is there beneath the line, not what’s there on the surface. It’s why so much of what you have to do in this life, what you have to do in this process of Human Design is shatter that surface, see the movie for what it is, begin to be aware and begin to find your way to put your stamp on your role. You can’t erase them. I can’t stop being the Clarion, but when you’re correct you will discover that what is there and necessary for you to manifest, to bring out so that you can express that uniqueness, it’ll be there.
