I’m connecting it to the physical face because it’s very important because those are our role masks.  Everybody’s face changes depending on whether they are in a collective situation, an individual situation or a tribal situation.  All the work that I do on expanding the understanding of the Personality is to bring everybody the opportunity to see the mapping of the way in which they operate.

When you see what the archetype is, in other words, every human being is predisposed to differentiate, this is the great law that Human Design presents as a science.  In other words, we are all born with both a physical and personality potential to differentiate and differentiation is the ultimate goal, to express the purpose of our uniqueness.

It is easy in some ways for the vehicle, because the vehicle only needs to obey the basic laws of mechanics.  That is, Strategy and Authority.  But for the Personality this is quite a process.  What the passenger requires is clear lines of demarcation, to be able to see.  What I hope you’ll be able to see after we go through this program is the way in which, in fact, the way you live out your being is a movement between these various role qualities.  It’s a movement between them.  And you have different roles for different situations.  The moment that your passenger actually sees that at work, this is one of those surrendering potentials that are there for the passenger.

So often you hear this said so much about the relationship of adults with their parents.  How they would finally like to be able to talk to them, or treat them, or what-ever the case may be, or be treated in such a way.  And the moment they get into that environment they just take on that role, it is natural.  The tribal role is quite something.  It connects viscerally into the vehicle.  All of these do; it’s chemistry after all.  We’re talking about a chemical process.  And the way in which the nerves operate and the way in which the facial muscles operate all of this is a chemistry and it is responding to the environment.

It’s one of the most fascinating things about your body, your vehicle.  Is that through the vehicle’s Nodes from the Design side we can see that your body has a predisposition to align itself to an environment that nurtures its difference.  Part of what is your difference is seeing clearly that you cannot have the same role, that variation on whatever your theme is, for all those processes.  You cannot have the same role as mother as you do as lover.  You cannot.

The moment that you do, the moment you descend into the conditioning of that, and we will see that like anything else because of the nature of conditioning you can be pulled away from, or conditioned to believe that your role in this thing or that thing should be different.  And that somehow there should be a unified mask that you present to the outside world, and there isn’t.  It’s part of our magic, after all.  And it’s part of the beauty and the complexity of what it is that we are.
