Increasing Tariffs

“Through the 40-37, we have had what is called free trade. Basically, the globalized economy and the opening up of a world in which there are no tariffs. Since the Second World War it’s the thing that has made it possible, for example, for Asia to be able to rise up.

The fact is most people don’t realize that in 1945, a country like Korea actually had more poverty than a country like Zimbabwe, which is really amazing when you think about it. This whole transformation in the way in which the global economy has operated, the way in which all of these things have been opened up—you can see the pressure right now in the United States.

The Canadians feel this because there is a huge pressure in the United States to buy American cars now. They’ve got this cash for clunkers. The thing that you hear in the background frequency is: ‘Yeah, this is great, but it should only be for American cars.’ You get this closing off.

One of the natural things we’re going to see over the next 18-20 years is more and more countries adding tariffs, bringing protectionism into the way in which they operate. In the end, this hurts everybody. There is always the illusion when you’re in that country that this is the best thing that you do for yourself.

One of the things you’re also going to see is an enormous transformation in the acceptance of immigrants anywhere.” – Ra Uru Hu

Are you selling like hot cakes?

“We’re under pressure to evolve to the maximum of what we become before it all changes.” -Richard Beaumont

This is imagined pressure, it is mind (his in particular). Mechanically there is no such pressure, because of duality. If you do not evolve to the maximum of what you can become, live that, so be it. Seeing, seeing, seeing. We are not the driver, we are the passenger.

Open letter to President Trump

Maniac-in-Chief

“The frustrating part is that I was on board for a reset. Truly. I’ve said it publicly. I’ve written about it in this very feed. I understood the need for a detox. For decades, the U.S. economy played the part of the rich guy at the table — picking up the check for a global order that no longer worked in our favor. We hollowed out our industrial base. We enabled unfair trade imbalances under the illusion of diplomacy. We subsidized demand for cheap imports while outsourcing the hard questions about how our domestic workforce would adapt.

Eventually, that had to stop. It was unsustainable — financially, politically, and morally. We couldn’t keep pretending that a consumption-led economy held together by zero-interest rates and global fragility was a long-term solution. I wanted a rebalancing. I welcomed the idea of a harder, smarter America-first policy that pushed for fair treatment, reciprocal agreements, and a real industrial strategy rooted in technological superiority, national security, and capital formation. That would’ve been leadership.

But that’s not what this is.

What you’ve rolled out isn’t detox — it’s whiplash. This isn’t strategic decoupling. It’s scattershot retaliation dressed up as reform. There’s no roadmap. No operational playbook. No clear articulation of where this ends or what the metrics of success even are. It’s not an attempt to responsibly unwind America’s role as the global shock absorber — it’s a brute-force attempt to disorder the existing system with no viable alternative in place.

You can’t replace a fragile supply chain with chaos and call it resilience. You can’t build American industry by torching the scaffolding that underpins capital flows, labor mobility, and global coordination — especially when the U.S. itself no longer has the domestic capacity to meet its own industrial needs. You talk about bringing jobs home, but the U.S. doesn’t have the labor force, permitting structure, or wage flexibility to stand up full-scale manufacturing at speed. And now — after years of deportation policies and underinvestment in vocational training — you’ve made the labor gap even wider.

Capital isn’t going to rush to fill that void just because you raised tariffs. It’s going to wait. It’s going to sit on the sidelines and preserve optionality. Because right now, no CEO can confidently model a five-year capex plan. No board can greenlight supply chain onshoring when they don’t know whether a tariff rate will double next quarter based on your Twitter account or some arbitrary trade deficit formula.

That’s the issue. This wasn’t rolled out as part of a comprehensive American renewal strategy. It wasn’t coordinated with the Fed. It wasn’t communicated clearly to Treasury. It wasn’t backed by a labor reskilling program or any form of public-private manufacturing incentive beyond empty slogans. It was dropped like a bomb — seemingly designed more to shock than to build.

And in the absence of credible structure, capital is retreating — not realigning.

I was ready to endure the pain of a thoughtful, structured reset. Most long-term investors were. We’ve lived through tightening cycles. We understood that globalization, as it stood, had reached a breaking point. But this isn’t a correction of imbalances. This is a rupture without scaffolding.

beroepschrift op afwijzing kwijtschelding

Beste mensen van de RBG,

dit is mijn beroepschrift op Aanslagnummer : xxxxxxxx
Klantnummer : xxxxxx
Contactnummer : xxx xxx xxx

Op 14 Maart 2025 heb ik kwijtschelding aangevraagd, en heb hierbij de factuur van aanschaf van mijn huidige motorfiets toegevoegd.
De waarde van deze motorfiets is € 3.250,00

Nu stelt de Beschikking kwijtschelding “Ik heb uw kwijtscheldingsverzoek afgewezen.” met als reden:
“U bezit een auto of motor met een waarde van meer dan € 3.350,00.”

Ik heb meteen gebeld en de dame aan de lijn meldde, “omdat het merk een BMW is valt ie gelijk af”.

Dit kan uiteraard niet zo zijn. De motor is 20+ jaar oud, heeft 160.000km op de klok, is weliswaar in rijdende staat, maar zeker niet meer waard dan die 3250, anders had de handelaar er wel ook meer voor gevraagd (en stond de motor zeker al 6 maanden te koop).

De ABS moet vervangen worden, de banden zijn op, de vering moet gereviseerd worden en zo nog enkele zaken. Mede hierom ook staat er op de factuur: “Zo meenemen zonder een enkele vorm van garantie.”

Ik vind het ronduit bizar dat er niet naar de bijgevoegde factuur is gekeken, terwijl dat precies het enige geldige bewijsmateriaal van de waarde is. Ik verzoek jullie dan ook dit
a. alsnog te doen, en
b. jullie eigen regels toe te passen in de beoordeling, en niet met ongeschreven regels, zoals ‘door het merk valt ie af’.

Bijgevoegd, opnieuw de factuur.

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.

selfie

“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

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 Baffo,

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.

in my ideal world it would be like we would just be subsidizing escorts

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

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

*man

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….
