So it’s important to see that this generative capacity in the 2-14 is an essential ingredient and that it is a Generator which means that once it actually responds to something, ‘uh-huh,’ it doesn’t mean it can manifest it.  It means it has to get involved in its generative learning process; getting into it, going through the level that it’s at, waiting for its moment of metamorphosis to jump to the next level.  And it means that the direction is not about the destination.  That’s about as mystical as I can get today.

There is no way of being able to see the actual direction because there is no way that this is deterministic.  People used to come to me in the early years and say to me, “This is all deterministic.”  It’s not true.  Being a freak myself and bringing a mutation into the world, I know that.  It’s not true.  The rules get changed all the time.  You know how many physicists are out of a job because they’ve proven that neutrinos have mass?  Who have spent 10 and 15 years trying to invent something that has mass? .

So this whole process of the 2-14 and the nature of its direction is that you have to see that it is a process and it is an existential process and it’s not about what the destination is.  It’s just about knowing you’re going the right way and not necessarily that language, the correct way for you.

And the moment that one can accept that that is their process, then you don’t have to get caught up into abstract expectation.  Individuals are not here to live in a world of expectation.  They’re here to be in the now.  They’re here to be tuned to the frequency of the moment.  And so the whole trick about direction is to recognize it’s not about whether you know how to actually get there.

I have a defined Self in a very individual design and often I’m in a lot of strange places and often I’m in a place and I have to find where I have to go, and I really don’t know how to get to the destination, but I know the right way. And as long as I follow—I have the second gate—as long as I follow that intuition of mine that I’m going the right way, 9 times out of 10, I bump into my destination.  It’s not about knowing where the destination is.  It’s about simply recognizing that as a 2-14, you’re here to follow your way, and your way only exists out of response and then your way is correct.

Evolution has many, many tentacles and fingers.  Everything is operating in an enormous macrocosmic harmony and that the initiation of mutation is caught up into many factors in many different places at the same time.  Everything is waiting for the right moment.  So when you go ‘ah ha’ and you’re a 2-14, what you’re really saying is “I’m on my way.  I don’t know where I’m going.  I am on my way and I know that this is my way.”

Now this is something so important for the psyche of humanity.  Because what happens with direction is that through the Cross of the Sphinx, the second gate, the gate of the driver that programs our direction, that programs our ways, splits up into three different views of those ways.  And as it splits up, it becomes three different views.  It creates three different kinds of roles in life.  And because two of those three roles are collective, it is through the collective that direction is seen, not through the individual.

Direction is experienced by the rest of humanity through the perceptions of the logical pattern and its projection into the future, and the abstract reflection and its perception on the past.  Because of that, because it is the dominance of the collective that it establishes that, we get stuck into the expectation program.  We’ve come from there so that was our direction to get here and out of that hindsight logic, we try to find the destination in the future.  That’s why we have soothsayers.  That’s why we have psychic, mystic, prophets, blah, blah, blah.  The collective has created in us a deep need to know where we’re going.

Every poor politician who has to stand up there and say, “This is what we’re going to do for the next four years,” only to be told after those four years that they didn’t do any of it and then everybody’s disappointed because we want everything in the future.  We want to know exactly what our direction is.

There isn’t a politician alive that doesn’t tell you that they are your direction.  That they’re pointing the way to your secure future.  Only the individual knows that’s a potential lie.  And when I say ‘only the individual knows,’ I only mean that at the genetic level not at the consciousness level; anybody can perceive that.  But the individual is not here to say that there is a place to go.  There is a way.

I have so many people in my life over these years who want to talk to me about the direction and the future of Human Design and all of these things and all of that stuff.  And I hear all of these concepts about research and this and that and many, many things, and the fact of the matter is that everything awaits its time.  Everything, everything, everything awaits its time.  This whole process of direction is that it is about the way.  It isn’t about what you have to get to.
