In the Rave ABCs we have looked at tools to understand the larger mechanics of the Bodygraph.

In the A you learned how the Design and Personality come together to make the whole. But in that you also learned that who we think we are is not who we really are, since we associate with the Personality more than the Design.

In the B you learned that the Bodygraph is actually broken up into circuits and by combining the keynotes of these circuits with the keynotes of any channel you can easily give a concise outline of a channel.

And in the C you learned the basics of how a Hexagram works so that you can use that knowledge when looking at lines and Profiles.

But here is the important point: none of it works the way it could if people are living the not-self. They are not in the channels they have defined, they are living in all the open centers and channels. So it doesn't matter how well you describe their defined channels unless you beat it into them how important it is for them to live their strategy and honor their authority.

Please keep in mind that this course does not make you an analyst. It has given you a great foundation that you will always be able to stand on. But there is a lot more to a reading than the ABC. So go out there humbly. Share what you know but don't pretend to be anything more than what you are - an Analyst in Training. You can do practice readings and you can even charge money, but be honest with your clients about your level of knowledge. The biggest damage you could do is try to give people information you don't know yet. People listen, so don't tell them anything you have not been trained in yet.

Example This chart has the 48/16, channel of Talent, and the 44/26, channel of Transmitting. Their authority is splenic, but whether they live that is another story. Also, regardless of the fact that you know that they have the ability to transmit their talent, it doesn't mean that they do so consistently because they will spend a lot of their life in the open centers. It also means that when they do transmit their talent they do not do it for its own sake but rather are driven by motivations and underlying pressures that are there in the open centers.

WARNING: The Process of Deconditioning

Even worse than misleading others is misleading yourself. You have learned a lot of very interesting information, but it is all useless if you don't live your design. Live your design. Live your design. It can't be said enough.

So here it is another way: When you begin this process there is a danger that you may work in the knowledge and not in yourself. Remember that you really have to work on yourself and your own process. Not "work on yourself" like you are something to be improved, but like you are somebody to be discovered: somebody perfect just the way you are. The work is in getting out of your own way. So don't forget how important it is to live the experiment of being you through your strategy and authority. Otherwise none of what you learned in this course is important because it simply becomes window dressing for a mannequin. Use yourself as the example of how this all works. That is when it comes alive.

Understanding mechanics is not the same as being awake. It is the difference between an armchair revolutionary and a true revolutionary. Take this information into your own body just as much as you share it with others. Otherwise people will see that you don't embody what you teach and they will not only ignore you but they will also think the knowledge is false.

It is so easy to see in Human Design how life is a duality. You have inside yourself the best of your design and the worst. The best is actually the same as the worst since there is no morality here. The only difference is whether you are enjoying the ride. And the only way to enjoy the ride is to live your design and honor you authority. If you don't do that then you will be the same person, but you won't like yourself at all.

So as you explore the charts of your friends and family be sure to explore your own process just as much. Watch yourself over the next three and a half years and see how the knowledge of this course changes you. See how it deepens you own self awareness, and see how the deeper it becomes you the better you are at sharing it.

As an analyst there is a possibility to make money at something you love. You can help people on a very deep level. And you can go to sleep at night feeling you are doing something important and meaningful. But always remember that mutation starts with the individual - with you. The most world changing event you could ever do is live your own design. When a person's design is in harmony with the rest of the world it is perfection. And that is the most amazing state you could ever hope for. So live your design and let the rest fall into place. Have fun!
