I Need Your Love – Is That True?

but it is also very beautiful
The Kamal Point and the Dark Night of the Soul

“We have been raised to treat life as a problem to solve, a result to obtain. What action do I take next to get what my mind says is most important to do, be, or have? It is a shattering experience to give up the life of the mind’s conditioning. In that shattering, there is no going back to what was, but there can also be a feeling of aloneness and desolation, a sense of emptiness, an inability to see the way forward.
The mind has kept us distracted so we don’t feel alone. It has kept us busy, so we don’t notice the emptiness of its promises. It has kept us on the never-ending search for more, which is focused on the future and what to do next. When we no longer run our lives from this mental drive, it is a shattering of a deeply held illusion that has been projected outward as the way of life.
When disconnected from the homogenized reality that the world has bought into—but we’re not yet firmly grounded in self-observation and the experience of awareness within—it can cause dissonance and a crisis of spirit. Like Neo in The Matrix, the red pill has been taken, and there is no unseeing what has been revealed. And yet, there is no comforting way forward, no god or belief to hang onto, no goal plan to keep us busy and distracted.
It is a kind of dark night of the soul. You know where you have been, and you don’t particularly enjoy where you are at the moment, with its great uncertainty and unknowns. There is no clear way forward.” – Leela Swann-Herbert
No, but here’s the joke for instance.

“When I was still living at home, right, until age 15, and I think I had just turned 15 before I left. I forget now, but anyways, I told my mom I wanted to put soap in my hair. I wanted to put my hair up. You know, I saw the New-Agers and the Punks on TV, and I wanted to do something similar.
She said “no, and you can’t, and you shouldn’t”. She didn’t really give a reason, but she was pissy about it. She wouldn’t “allow me” between brackets, right?
And then when I left home, age 15, the first thing I did was I went to the hairdresser, and I told them because I wasn’t sure how to do it, right? So I went to a hairdresser and I said, this is what I want. This is what I want to do. I want to put soap in my hair. I want to put it up. But the way my coupe is now, my hair coupe is now, that’s not going to work.
And I go to my mom. I visit my mom. You know what she said: “ah, that looks nice.”
I’m like, you motherfucker. You motherfucker. You told me I couldn’t, I shouldn’t, and this and that. For no real reason, like it wasn’t that she was against punk or anything. She just didn’t give a reason and that pissed me off even more.
And this is what I’m trying to tell you. You gotta do you. You gotta be you. Even if it is hard, or maybe especially when it’s hard.
But only when you are comfortable with it –for yourself-. And I -know- you are comfortable with it for yourself. And that is the only reason to do or not do things, right?”

as a friend replied: I have tissues 🙂

anyways, I’m using this to open up about the fact that for about 2-3 years now, I’ve been incredibly emotionally overwhelmed at times.
And I’m looking into different ways to support myself in it, with it, maybe even through it, or beyond. Or not.
Talking about it helps, trying out CBD/CBG oil is being tested, looking into different kinds of modalities helps, like trauma work, Byron Katie, Dr. K, etc.
the first pic is only after using cpap (sunday night)
the second and 3rd is using cpap for 2-4 hours and cbd/g oil (last 2 nights)
u can almost see the apnea increasing in the morning as the oil is working less

Byron Katie Just Wants You to Be Happy

“Although she might never identify it as such, Byron Katie is espousing a form of meta-cognition, a way of thinking about thinking. Are your thoughts a true reflection of the reality around you, or do they come unbidden from your unconscious?
Byron Katie just wants you to be happy. She doesn’t know you, but she believes she can help you find your happiness, and countless of her fans and followers would agree. She also thinks that helping you find happiness goes a long way in solving the myriad problems in the world. She’s been on Oprah. Tony Robbins is a fan and incorporates her work into his own teachings. Her methods are remarkably simple; she only asks that you question your own thoughts and that you accept reality for what it really is. You will wonder why you never thought of it.
An unusual woman with an unusual name, Byron Katie is leading a revolution of the mind. Although she might never identify it as such, she is espousing a form of meta-cognition, a way of thinking about thinking. Are your thoughts a true reflection of the reality around you, or do they come unbidden from your unconscious? Can you trust what your own mind tells you? Byron Katie would say no. She would ask you to question each thought as it comes, to mull it over and put it to the test. And then she would ask you to take that further, to ponder the opposite of that thought, and whether that “turnaround,” in fact, might be a truer version of reality. This process she calls “The Work.”
The Work: I had the opportunity to see Byron Katie speak in person at the Omega Institute NYC Conference, and I have also been reading her book I Need Your Love — Is That True?. Both were eye-opening, I might even say life-changing, experiences for me. The Work is a series of four questions that you apply to each stressful, unhappy, or counterproductive thought that comes into your mind. Take, for example, the thought “I am such a pushover,” which you might have after being taken advantage of by someone you love or trust.
Is it true? This is only a simple yes or no question, either I am a pushover or I am not — in objective reality without adding my own filters and biases.
Can you absolutely know that it is true? This is also a yes or no question but requires more thinking. Who is to say what constitutes being “a pushover”? Perhaps being a pushover to one person is seeking or receiving just the right amount of guidance to another. If I cannot definitively say that it is true, then the answer is no.
How do you react — what happens — when you believe that thought? How does this thought make me feel and behave? If I worry that I am easily manipulated, I may beat myself up in my relationships and unnecessarily put walls up. I criticize myself. And I begin to resent the other person because I can’t put my guard down around them.
Who would you be without the thought? If that thought never existed, how would I feel and behave? If I never had to worry about being a pushover, I could live more freely. I wouldn’t put my guard up in my relationships, and I would allow myself to be vulnerable and who I really am. I would feel better about myself.
The Turnaround: Now comes the point where Byron Katie asks you to take the opposite of your thought and mull it over. One turnaround might be: “I am not at all a pushover.” Is this any truer than the original statement? Can I think of any examples in which this is true? Another turnaround might be that my spouse/partner/parent/coworker is the one who is a pushover. In this way, I could come to see that everyone can be manipulated at times, and that this is normal. I can see that I am not “such” a pushover at all, and that I am letting the fear of being controlled actually control me. I can begin to let these thoughts go and no longer criticize myself or others. And so the stress associated with the thought of being such a pushover would no longer exist.
What Bryon Katie is offering is a method of self-inquiry that allows us to free ourselves from the anger and negativity we feel when we accept our thoughts, unquestioned, as true. We cause much of our own suffering by believing what our minds tell us. If we can see that certain thoughts are the cause of our own unhappiness, we can begin to let go and be free of them. Questioning these thoughts, putting them to the test of The Work, is a form of enlightenment. If the unexamined life is not worth living, perhaps the unexamined thought is not worth thinking.
It certainly can’t hurt to try.” – By Stephan Spencer from https://www.huffpost.com/entry/happiness-tips_b_1739238

Subject: Rave Cosmologist certifications
Hi,
recently I noticed my qualifications on the IHDS Professionals page (https://www.ihdschool.com/professionals) have changed, and so have many other people’s Rave Cosmology certifications changed.
Was this change ever mentioned in one of the IHDS newsletters and I just missed it?
In 2016 I became a Rave Cosmologist, and about 2 months later was told I also had become a Rave Cosmologist Teacher, with the clear understanding however this was like a Guide qualification. Able to share with people but this would not make them in any way certified.
Even back then I wondered why not introduce a Rave Cosmologist Guide certificate/qualification, it would make it so much easier/clearer
Now I see these 4 qualifications online:
1. Additional Qualifications: Rave Cosmologist
This is where everyone is in now
2. Teacher Qualifications: Rave Cosmologist
with only Darshana in it
3. Teacher Trainer Qualifications: Rave Cosmologist
with only Darshana in it
4. Trainer Qualifications: Rave Cosmologist
1 person it it, Tatiana Wolf
Is this not a good idea, to make this Rave Cosmology Guide certificate, instead? For those who were nr2 before, also?
And drop the nr1 qualification completely, maybe/perhaps, or only as we do with LYD, ABC and Cartography, to have been an acknowledged participant, with no IHDS registration
Anyways, thanks for reading/listening 🙂 👍

Rave Cosmologist Certification
This course will be taught by an IHDS Certified Rave Cosmologist Trainer.
The complete Cosmologist Certification Program includes eight semesters of study.
The initial seven semesters may be taken in any order based on student interest.
Once you have met the prerequisites, you are then eligible to take the final and eighth semester for certification.
The final Certification Course is open to those that have completed all seven semesters with a Certified Cosmologist Trainer.
**Note: This course is open to the general public and to those interested in becoming a Certified Rave Cosmologist to offer this knowledge to the general public. You are not being certified to teach others to become Rave Cosmologists.**
answer is in:
Hi Sjef,
Yeah, it seems the word teacher was really confusing everyone.
We only changed the names but not the prereqs.
Rave Cosmologists are certified to share the information with other people – not to teach the courses for others to become certified.
I will pass on your suggestion about the Guide.
Thank You,
Lynette Crisfield
“Where in the chart do we see potential for being abused?”
It seems to me, reading the comments and the premise of the question, it kinda means, that abuse makes you the victim, period.
As people point towards the not-self of either you, or of the abuser. (which implicates wrong doing !!)
And then the shallowness of claiming the not-self is only in the openness. While also reciting this activation or that one, so which one is it?
Which (as so very often) completely ignores duality.
I’ve been abused in several ways and sometimes still meet it, mostly emotional/psychological, and yes I do like to point at my Design Nodes (36 and 6) but…
Duality !
This notion to be able to see it on a map, or on a tiny little permutation of an activation (it is because of my base 3 in tone 4 of color 3 in line 4 of gate so and so, or because I do NOT have this or that activation to protect me bla!), is mind boggling to me.

Agency is the sense of control that you feel in your life, your capacity to influence your own thoughts and behavior, and have faith in your ability to handle a wide range of tasks and situations. Your sense of agency helps you to be psychologically stable, yet flexible in the face of conflict or change.
And/or
In social science, agency is the capacity of individuals to have the power and resources to fulfill their potential. Social structure consists of those factors of influence (such as social class, religion, gender, ethnicity, ability, customs, etc.) that determine or limit agents and their decisions.

“What if, instead of setting you free, Human design is actually holding you back?”
What if, instead of setting you free, Human design is actually holding you back? What if, instead of it becoming a road to your best self, it has become a cage?
We’ve all seen it…people so fixated on their chart, so bound by their “type,” that they miss out on all kinds of incredible opportunities, ignoring what they feel pulled towards, denying what they love. They let this “inner authority” given to them by another person who never even met them, dictate every decision, ignoring their intuition, ignoring critical thinking. They’re afraid to step outside the lines, to experiment, to grow beyond the labels. They live in illusion that they are free when they are actually imprisoned.
This isn’t about rejecting Human Design, it’s about leading your own life. It’s about taking the insights from your chart and using them wisely, not letting them define every aspect of who you are. It’s about remembering that you’re more than your type, profile and centers. You’re a complex individual with a unique journey, with unique experiences, why do you willingly accept being placed in this tiny box?
It can be really difficult. Human design can for a lot of people really be like a disease that takes over their entire being. They can’t communicate anymore, all they think about and talk about is Human design. Instead of freeing them, Human Design becomes their limitation. An addiction.
There is a nice, easy way of using it. When you use it as a tool, without letting it dictate your every move and every thought. Don’t let it convince you that you are unemotional, that you shouldn’t speak, shouldn’t ask, shouldn’t leave a situation you really want to leave, that you shouldn’t apply for your dream job. And when you have been following the ritual for years, the ritual becomes your comfort zone, and leaving it becomes the biggest fear.
You enter into HD after being sick of standards and boxes, only to find yourself in even more narrow ones. Every aspect of you suddenly needs to be controlled. You are not allowed to think. You are not allowed to feel bad, as you will instantly be called notself, shamed and insulted. It’s time to see and realize that you never left the world of standardisation. You got even deeper in.
💔
from https://www.facebook.com/lara.jozanovic
Me:
Human Design is not a thing that does anything, it has no such powers.
it (HD) can not hold me back, only me, or, my mind can
If I abuse the information, or use it differently than what HD is about, than this is on me, not on HD
HD is just a bunch of words, all combined makes up a framework of knowledge, which some seems to pan out, and some actually not so much.
But when implemented and used, there is an observable result.
when used differently, those results can also be observed, but can not possibly be the fault of HD
So it, can not possible be ‘holding you back’, or ‘be a cage’
Only I (ego/mind) can let ‘it’ dictate my every decision, pretending to use the rules of such a modality/framework/whatever else.
Only my mind can be this disease, can be how I communicate, get addicted or even limited. Not anything else outside of my mind does any of this.
And if my ego/mind is in on this, big time, then that is a good place to look for it and at it. And maybe the observation helps, maybe not.
The acknowledgment, the seeing, the realization, of us being so taken up/by something might help
but lets point at us ourselves, in the way we speak/communicate then as well. Cause to ‘accuse HD’ is quite besides the point.
Somehow the 12 steps come to mind: “To accept the things I cannot change;. Courage to change the things I can;. And wisdom to know the difference.”
My 2 cents: Love yourself for being an idiot… I mean… human 🙂
not a robot that is omniscient, omnipotent, and bla.

“Can we all just get along”

“the dance that is possible when Types are correct”
is homogenizing religious dribble. It is ego/heart nonsense pushing us to believe (!) that the netto result should look like a certain (positive) thing only; aka a dance. And if the netto result does not yet look like what we imagine (!) a dance to look like (!), this self made up fantasy, someone was not yet correct. It is this religious fanatic (zealot) belief in make-ability.
And suggesting that Living your Design has a make-able netto result called a dance. Completely ignoring duality. It is this adherence to positivity and light and new-agey whatever (like dancing). But there is no light without darkness, yin and yang, duality.
And only in the not-self is life make-able. You push -this- button, you get -that- result. Again and again and again.
In the true self, from differentiation, yes you push -this- button, yet we do not know what the result will be. Could be yes, could be no, could be this, could be that.
The dance is the dance is the dance, regardless. But the made up -condition- to be met (correctness equals dance) has little to do with it, and is most certainly not a weapon, but a lie.
And this notion of getting along, brrrr

Why Radical Deconditioning? Why Now?
hey hey my fellow Travelers on this spaceship earth spiraling through space and time
So you might be asking yourself why radical deconditioning and why now?
All right, so it’s simple, we’re living in times of great uncertainty. The mind doesn’t like uncertainty and will do its best to create an illusion of stability. Now that illusion is conditioned thinking. Conditioned thinking takes us away from our true identity and homogenizes our thoughts, behaviors and actions. Now our strategy for moving through life according to our type and our awareness of our inner Authority, can align us with our true selves and set us on our lives trajectory. Now this is the experiment of human design; to live in alignment within. However that doesn’t mean we stay there. It is a moment by moment an experiment of Consciousness while in form. At any moment the mind can be easily overwhelmed with anxiety, fear, stress or depression and trigger us into a meltdown. Now conditioning can also be extremely subtle. It can be a pattern of self-blame for having a meltdown, or setting a standard of perfection that creates rigidity and control rather than exploration.
We have to remember that deconditioning is a cellular process and it takes place in seven-year cycles. Now Human Design lore says ‘if you follow your strategy and inner Authority for seven years; you’ll decondition’ and this is true, as most of the cells in the body replicate every seven years, all except for the cells in the brain and in the stem cells and stem cells are present in all of our organs most of our tissues. Our memories; the core of who we are, down to the marrow, does not decondition in seven-year cycles. It’s a much longer replication process and this is the issue, of deconditioning mental patterns in particular. It’s a process of awareness that has to take place over time. Now in Ra’s Rave Psychology program he spent a lot of time exploring conditioning and deconditioning of the mind and the process of awareness. Based on our work with Ra in Rave Psychology we created the Radical Deconditioning program. Here we provide you with a set of tools for deconditioning the mind and developing awareness about the Mind itself. It’s the unexamined life that runs on conditioning. We can be aware of our body’s experience and our mind’s interpretations of that. What we are aware of, can no longer run our lives, this is the certainty the deconditioning offers us.
So our question for you are you ready for Radical Deconditioning, is now your time to explore with us?
Enough for today.
Bye, hope to see you soon.
MoonBlog 37.5 Love and 37.6 Purpose
Beforehand, before making a decision, we can know correctness, or not, correctness.
We can observe our not-self, our mind, our external influences, our Outer Circumstances all have their conditioning on us. And also the see-saw of Distraction/Transference and Perspective/Motivation.
We can observe the body engage or not engage. Whether to external stimuli and S&A when others are involved, or through the Tone of our PHS when alone.
Afterwards and in hindsight, the experience itself of engaging or not engaging, was always Trajectory.
Correctness is no longer an observation; a bad experience does not mean not correct. Not finishing what was engaged, does not mean not correct.
Maybe/perhaps it was correct to engage, yet then also correct to not finish. Or correct to have a ‘bad’ experience. Duality after all… and (thus)… Trajectory.
Correctness is an observation and never a meaning, unless a false conclusion and a potential guilt trip by mind once more.
Also, nothing was ever ‘incorrect’, something is either correct or not correct.
Incorrect is a judgment stemming out of morality, by an imposed set of made up rules, of right and wrong for instance, correctness itself is merely a (re)cognition, an observation.

Black and White Magic: Two Faces of the Same Thing

“You’re not looking at something different here; don’t be fooled. Don’t be fooled by thinking that one is white and one is black. They‘re the collective. It is two faces of the same thing. You can see that the whole way in which the global cycles are structured is that they are structured so that we are dominated by the collective forces that bind us together, literally. And they bind us together through these two poles. When I say bind us together I am speaking about the intensity of the programming, what it is for the not-self to be controlled in this way. There are so many places in the world where you say “I am here to live by my own authority,” and you are worse than a heretic. It is something to grasp.
All of this is a hold over; all of this is the leftover of seven-centered consciousness. It has nothing to do with us. All of this is about power, manipulation, and control. But the moment that you’re operating out of your own authority none of those things matter. They don’t matter and they don’t touch you, and they can‘t. But this is not the way of the world. The world is driven by these things. Human beings who are plagued in their bodies, driven by every new announcement of some discovery, some nuance in the pattern that may or may not change their future, everyone’s future. You have a world that is leaning on the collective, leaning on God for its light, leaning on the form principle and its intelligence to be able to develop the necessary mechanisms. This assumption that it’s not going to stop, this deep reliance that we have on the collective, deep, deep reliance that we have to keep us going, to keep us civil in our movement, and it‘s going to collapse like a house of cards.” – Ra Uru Hu – The Birth and Death of Magic
4% – The Experiment

The same is true for so very many of the 4% into Human Design, thinking that because they’re ‘into HD’ that this alone is enough to take the moral high ground, telling each other when someone is, or is not not-self, distracting each other with information and knowledge, without ever (ever) making any decisions according to their S&A, let alone be an observing passenger of their very own life. Nope, watching this ‘community’ is like watching a bus full of drivers, loud, obnoxious drivers, not of passengers and, each knowing better than the other. But hey, duality, right?
Only 4% of those 4% will ‘escape’ it
So for each 1 true experimentor, there are 624 loudmouths, and it shows….
“It’s amazing how desperately we cling to our beliefs…”
“…As history shows, the fastest way to reduce otherwise decent people to a state of savagery is by tampering with their belief system.
The word for someone who does so is heretic, and historically the punishments reserved for him are more brutal than for any other class of offender.
The point is that by the time people come to me, their beliefs are securely in place. No one approaches me and asks to have their hard-won beliefs demolished. They come to build upon what they already have and to continue along the course they’ve already begun.
Demolition, though, is exactly what they need. If, that is, they want to wake up.” – Jed McKenna
