    So many people achieve a sense of self worth and identity, in comparison, so through their work circle, the people they know through hobby or activity, the causes they adhere too, or not adhere too at all, whom they invite and not invite for their birthdays, by which car/brand they drive/own, what kind of house, its value, the street or neighbourhood it is in, which tools they prefer over that one, the store they do, or do not shop in, online or In Real Life. It is a form of snobbism and separation/exclusion, mentally, how they separate themselves from ‘them’, how their me, is an ‘us’.

    Even if of course there is no logic to that because of all the different people in this circle versus that one, and they meander into several different ones, since not everyone who lives in a house like theirs, pays the same amount of taxes, or indeed drives the same brand/version of car, and then very different people shop there or vote for him/her.

    Human Design helps you connect with yourself, through your own actions and your own correctness, by your very own observations and those alone. It helps you value and identify yourself, as your very own self, and is not dependant on these others in the same groceries store, or at the same tennis shoe store, anymore.

    It stops measuring and comparing with those ‘happenings’ as a meaning and knowing full well separation is there but of a very different kind, uniqueness does not need any comparison or snobbism, and has no use for self aggrandization thoughts by diminishing others nor does it look up to anything else ever again.

    You get to hold yourself warmly, by how you wash your dishes, make and drink your coffee, all by yourself, for yourself.

    Which you may want to share about with others about. But not to explain yourself, defend yourself, aggrandise yourself. Just you drinking this coffee from that machine with whatever you do or not put in it.

    Just you, by yourself, alone, being your own comfortable Inner Authority (center based or process based). Even in those moments when not that comfortable at all. Just uniquely you.

  • How then do we decondition the mind?

    ByBaffo

    “We begin by taking the role of decision-maker away from the mind, and turn it over to the form through developing the awareness of our Inner Authority (center or process based). The body can be stabilized through Strategy, Inner Authority and PHS. The form begins to live its unique life along its trajectory. Next we have to train the mind to observe the life that the body is experiencing. This is the correct role for the mind, the observer of experience, not the interpreter of experience.

    Any time the mind is interpreting our experience, it is operating out of conditioned memories, old neural pathways based upon our openness. Through understanding our mechanics and how our openness operates, we can begin to recognize these old conditioned ways of thinking that may no longer lead to mental initiation in the life – but still runs in the internal dialog and creates a sense of personal suffering through mental identification. Deconditioning the mind is a process of identifying the mechanics involved, identifying the mental story and seeing it for what it is – a story that we have believed is our truth; that we believe is us. Can you see your mental stories?

    That which we can see and observe, no longer runs our life – we can learn to see the stored memory patterns of the mind for what they are – conditioning patterns that we have become identified with. These cells, these memories will never go away; but we can discover that we have a choice about how we relate to these conditioned memories. We can see them as they arise in the mind, understand the mechanics of the mind and how it operates, and appreciate the lessons that this conditioning has offered us – that observing it can reveal it is not who we are.”

    No -direct- Inner Authority

    “if such a thing is true, the mechanical absolutes of the Maya do not hold up”

    Over the years there were a few discussions (on FaceBook) about Inner Authority and particularly for Mental Projectors and Reflectors not having any at all. For many new Reflectors that started looking into the studies and materials this came up as odd or incomprehensible. Knowing without being able to formulate well, that something inside does make decisions. In other groups or places some of the exchanges about this topic became quite heated and lots of stuff was thrown in the mix, including some very off-topic personal issues by several supposedly professional people into Human Design.

    One part of the argument was, that Ra never said such a thing, and that those people, or Types simply had -no- Inner Authority, and several people believing this to be true supported this.

    And then it turned into not having any ‘consistent’ inner authority, which is ludicrous considering -how- the process operates itself to -get to- the inner authority might be inconsistent, but the result does not need to be consistent or not consistent, it is a non argument, irrelevant.

    Of course there is the mention of the eBook by Dharmen and Leela ‘Your Own Authority – A Beginner’s Guide to Human Design’ (which is available since April 2012 at Jovian Archive and IHDS and on their own page here) where the differentiation is made between Center based Inner Authority, and Process based Inner Authority. Considering the emotional wave of the Solar Plexus defined people, not being consistent either. The process itself is not consistent, not clearly determined, defined, can’t put a clock on it. But the result, for however much clarity is actually possible, is consistent. An answer will come, yes or no.

    Another part of the argument was, that both Mental Projectors and Reflectors and also a few people observing them wondered, but what then, does make decisions? There has to be something that makes decisions for ones self, and why would this not be named Inner Authority? A more logic approach to this question I find.
