In the study of colors, Red, Yellow, and Blue are typically considered the Primary Colors. Used individually there are some limited variations but once they are mixed, in different combinations, a seemingly endless world of possibilities leaps to life. The same is true when applying the basic dynamics of Type, Strategy, and Authority from the perspective of a trained, Profession, Certified Analyst. Brought together, along with the specifics of a BodyGraph produces a seemingly endless variety of potential human experience.
When the Planetary Activations are applied to the Rave BodyGraph, 99% of the time, some aspect of the BodyGraph will become Defined while other aspects will remain Undefined. This deceptively simple juxtaposition sets up pretty much everything of relevance in experimenting with the Energy one is born with. By its very nature, the Not Self Mental Construct will resist, ignore, or completely invalidate the True Self. This establishes the fundamental “Energy vs Mind” duality of human experience. Recognizing the tension or dilemma of this internal dance, as is explored at great depth in PTL1, brings a deeper awareness of what it means to be an individual as well as the infinite variety available in living this life as we were truly designed. No longer resisting who we are nor attempting to fix, change, or make better that which we are not, releases the experience of life to all that is available, processing it through that which we are.
Ra referred to the union of the Black and Red aspects of the BodyGraph as a “Forced Marriage”. From the perspective of the mind, the Personality is all that there is; it is the sum total of all that we recognize that we are. The Design side, if acknowledged at all, is seen as something external to the identity and is likely viewed as an annoyance. The irony is that the Design side represents the form of the Energy. Once again, even from this very, very basic view, we witness the vibrancy of human experience as any element can be identified with or seen as something external, even though it is just as reliable and important to recognizing who we are. The possible combinations between that which is on the Personality side and that which is on the Design side are gigantic with each variation being entirely unique and differential to the others.
The Profile structure is yet another example of the wide array of combinations possible with a very small number of essential basics. The Hermit/Opportunist, for example, will believe and overly identify with the desire to be left alone. The Form, however, is driven to connect with and establish a network that brings opportunities to deliver the message. The mind, recognizing only the Personality side, exclaims, “What the heck do I need a network for!?” The Truth of who we are is in the balanced acceptance of both. The “Costume of Identity” represented in the Profile, describes the interaction between that which is conscious and that which, while unconscious, represents the answer people will search the entire world over to find; never realizing that it was in their back pocket all along. Combine Profile with even something as simple as Type and vast differences spring to life; not all Hermit/Opportunists are created equal.
The solution to any dilemma is always, “Follow your Type, Strategy, and Authority”. While this is exceedingly simplistic, the implications and combinations of what that looks like for the individual is seemingly endless. In PTL1, we experiment with the wide array of potentiality possible in these combinations.
