‘In the beginning we have a yang force, and we start off with this general theme of measurement. It’s one of the oldest of the number games. It’s the whole business about the difference between one and two, which can only be movement. There is nothing else. There has to be this movement.

‘I am’ is totally alone. However, the moment that that ‘I am’ is confronted with light, it’s confronted with another, and then it’s not enough to be ‘I am.’ I am what? Compared to what? “I am not you. I am different.”

All of these measurements begin to take place, and it is through these measurements that we define the Maia that’s around us. In other words, the great catch 22 is that Maia creates Maia. Illusion just creates another illusion and then we all get caught up in it thinking, “Oh, this is us.” The whole spiritual world wants to be one. I mean they don’t know they are one, which, to me, seems the height of ignorance.

However, they all want to be one. But what do you get as a 1st base? The 1st base says, “Hey, excuse me. We can’t be one, as we have to be separate so that we can measure.” We don’t have a choice. This business about wanting to be one, this is just a yearning to be aware. We are already one, no question about that.’ 

Quote by Ra Uru Hu | Living Design

‘Each of the bases is connected specifically to a sense and that sense is going to be the heightened instrument ‘seeing,’ and at the human level the visual context is going to be the dominant theme. Considering that this is all about movement and measurement, they need to see it.

For simple forms of life, it’s the response to or the recognition of light. As a yang facet, the light is a big deal. After all, the Maia is wrapped in light – it’s a big deal. One of the first things making us different is the way in which our vision operates. In the animal and mammalian world, it is very unusual to have the eyes brought together into the front of the head. We have a very specific kind and very important kind of vision with a color mutation. They’ve found nine molecules permit us to see in color. This is really tiny stuff compared to the mass of what we are. It’s those nine little molecules that are in control of our color vision.

Not only is our vision incredibly sophisticated, but also everything else is secondary to the light from the beginning. That’s why we end up with all of these philosophies that the light is great, because it is built into the construct of the Maia from the very beginning. It’s built into the foundation of what the dimensional field is that we are attuned to the light, and that vision becomes everything for us. Out of the vision, everything is marked, and that’s the way in which we define everything. Of course, that’s where the next illusion comes in because the way in which we see is relative. The bumblebee going toward the flower sees a different flower than what we see. It’s totally different. They are operating at another wavelength. I mean there is this illusion of the way in which vision works. But seeing is everything to these people. The main activity is seeing, is watching, is looking. It’s all in the eyes. Vision is our life; vision is the world. Vision is the whole movie.’

‘The 1st base beings are the ones who are going to be the migrators, picking the locations, and establishing where the settlements are going to be. As pathfinders, they are the active ones, the moving ones. They will not be satisfied sitting by the fire in the valley, month after month, year after year. There is something inside of them that wants to see what is on the other side. It’s not because they necessarily are curious about what is on the other side; they would like to know where they are. So this is the whole thing that is moving humanity over each and every single one of these boundaries. It’s moving humanity through all of these processes, but it’s saying that deep underneath, place is enormously important for these people.

This is every form of life, not just humans. Each creature needs to establish what its territory is. To defend and protect yourself, you define the territory around you to be secure. But that’s not just about the mundane. As a part of a hierarchical structure, we are all in the hierarchy, all of us. We are all strung out level after level in this process, and always trying to figure out where we are in that. It’s the 1st base that says, “Okay, I’m moving and I’m moving, but where did I get to?” So if you have the 1st base and you’ve joined the button-down corporation, you have all this activity and juice inside of you, but there’s that part of you that’s saying, “All right. But where am I getting? Well, okay, I’ve moved up this far, maybe I can get to the next level.”

We are deeply competitive. Defining our uniqueness and seeing both our differences and our non-differences leads to competitiveness. It’s not because we want to be competitive, since at this level we have no access anyway. It’s that life is competitive. It’s a competition against all natural forces, against the resistance of ignorance, and a competition against all of that. If you do not win, you die, and you die sooner and you die dumber. Now, there’s nobody keeping score but you, and the score doesn’t matter to anyone or anything. It’s just you.’

‘The 1st base Is pure yang, yang/yang. When the time comes, that yang/yang gets annihilated. It’s going to disappear. I’ve not been in a hurry to get people to see their bases because I don’t know how people will handle such information. Not that it’s anything personal, because it isn’t going to make any difference to the individual.

This is where we have all of our concepts of hell and of burning. The yang/yang crystal will be annihilated in the heart of our Sun, when the crystals bundle, and the change comes. Those who are yang/yang, will stream into the Sun, and become fuel, and everything that has been experienced in the eternity of that crystal’s existence, as it breaks down in the Sun, will be spread out as fertilizer for everybody else. At this level of base, anybody walking around with the 1st base, the yang/yang base, are really going to have their ups and downs. It is going to be eliminated because that’s what the yang/yang is all about. By the way, that isn’t a moral thing. It has to do with evolution and the necessity of the totality – that everything has its time and gets it run. The yang/yang has had a great run, and that run is coming to its end. It’s only cruel if you think of that in deep personal terms, because it isn’t. Everything comes to an end.’

‘The integrative 2nd base is the yang force that is really going to remain. Although this is the yang/yin, and contains the power of the yang, the power of the penetrating force, it is balanced with the presence of the yin as a counterpoint. All of this is about experience, not about the movement anymore – that’s pure yang. Now the yin is coming in and saying, “Yes, but excuse me, while we’re moving along, what exactly is happening?” This is the beginning of mind.

The mind is something that is very physical, regardless of how we try to tune into it at other levels. It’s a machine, and mind is a by-product of the way in which this machine operates. The evolutionary process demands that we learn from experience. That learning can be in a classroom environment or be evolutionary learning. In other words, a response to certain pollutants in the air causes something inside of the mechanism of that specie to change as a response. The experience within the movement becomes the criteria, and is so important to the 2nd base being. They do not want to just see that they are separate; they want to see, for example, how separate things fit together and the way in which that operates as experience. With this movement away from the pure yang, there is not the same kind of just pure activity as a drive.’
Ra Uru Hu | Living Design

‘The sense that is connected to the 2nd base is ‘taste,’ and, taste is very different than vision. Tasting is something that is deeply personal, because you cannot taste unless you allow something into you. Vision is something that is very safe as long as you do not have a homicidal maniac in your face, and you’re staring them down. Vision is something that doesn’t bring all that. But taste says, “Come here, closer. No, no, closer.”

This is where mind comes from. If you go back to the very source in the embryo, you will find that the taste bud was there before the brain bud because that’s where it takes us. Have you ever imagined or read about how profound our capacity is to be able to recognize though taste? It’s extraordinary. In other words, this is a very, very basic thing that ultimately in our evolutionary process leads from tasting things to literally being able to intellectually sample them, intellectually taste them. This is the whole development of the mind process.’
Ra Uru Hu | Living Design 

‘The quality here is the quality of character. Now, character can be a deeply subjective thing. Within the nature of evolution, as it operates within the macrocosm, evolution is deeply connected to gravity, and gravity to memory. They are in a deep relationship to each other. In other words, the capacity to be able to pull things toward you is in fact what memory is, that is the ability to be able hold things to you, store them, and hold them as remembrance. This 2nd base, that’s what mind actually ends up being the beneficiary of. It’s the beneficiary of being able to bring things together, hold them together, and gravitate toward certain things. So, no evolution without remembering. We know that with our ability to store memory, libraries are now computers; the web encompasses the whole planet, etc. Our ability to store memory has speeded up the evolution of our civilization, although it hasn’t speeded up our physical evolution. The storage of memory is something that is essential.

The moment that you move to the 2nd base, being alive isn’t enough anymore, nor is being busy. Now the experience has to really be something of value and give a sense that we are moving forward, evolving, and expanding. Why do you think we spend so much time educating human beings? As a 2nd base theme, it’s one of the most important things about human beings. Mammals need extended nurturing – seven years, which is very long for a new-born mammal to need nurturing. The 2nd base brings very basic, fundamental things, as the need to expand the mind, to be educated. It’s not an accident that it’s integrative; it has to be integrative.

There is this aroma of sex here, but there is none. Sex comes later. It comes when it’s absolutely necessary, and at the point that we have all the basic structures in place. Then, “Let’s bring in a dimension that says, ‘We’ll make more and we’ll have all of that and we’ll . . .'” Because right here is going to be the strongest place of the meeting of the yin and the yang. It isn’t now. That’s something that is going to develop over time.’
Ra Uru Hu | Living Design 

‘This is the yin teaching the yang about resources. “Yes, it’s very nice that you like to travel in your car, dear. But who’s going to pay for the gas?” The yang just wants to drive. The yin says, “Wait a minute, wait a minute. Resources.” The most extraordinary resource we have is mind. Today your mental worth is what matters in most cases, and as we move further and further into this technological century, we are going to see that the value of individual mind is going to continue to grow. We’ve left behind the brawn, the working in the factory for the rest of your life, your children going down in the mine, and all of that stuff. We have new capital – the development of intellectual currency, intellectual capital.

One of the things here about the ‘what’ is whom do you pull to yourself, and who do you allow to gravitate towards you to fulfil a larger, integrative purpose. Our social mechanism, if you will, really begins here, because ultimately this is about our spirit. I have a hard time with ‘spiritual’ people, as I don’t see the sense of only being satisfied in the light. It’s not the way of the world, which is to be in matter and to be in the form.

The way of the world is status and about your place in the hierarchy – only when you accept where you are and who you are, are you going to have the spirit. It’s not about intellectually what you think about those concepts, because you cannot escape them anyway. It certainly isn’t about how you deal with that at the surface of your design as a Rave, because by the time you get up there, it’s long way away. The real spirit here is that you must be identified with your role in this life and your character in this life. You must be identified with what you have collected in this life. It’s so important.’
Ra Uru Hu | Living Design

‘The 2nd base brings us something entirely different by saying, “Look, we’re all in competition, so let’s see how we work this out. And let’s see who everybody is in this competition and let’s see what everybody’s role is in this competition, so that we can have a better understanding of what this is all about.” Out of that, we get the identification. It is all about finding the spirit, and on the macrocosmic side, it’s all about love as light. You see, philosophically, we have ways in which we have given things their names, their qualities, whatever, that lead to certain kinds of prejudices in the way in which we look at any of these things. I want you to really be clear about how important it is for us to have these positions. And, yet, there is a way for all of us to accrue this naturally.

With 70 percent of the population as either generators or manifesting generators, the moment they are operating out of response, they are going to accrue to themselves exactly what is correct for them. Not the memory that they don’t need, not the status that they don’t need. There are so many people who think that the next level, whatever that may be, is going to bring something. For many people, they would have been much happier staying back where they were and forgetting about what that next level really brought them, because, in fact, they were not ready for that. There are all kinds of people who think they deserve to be here or there or whatever the case may be. If you are living out your own nature, the respect that you’re due comes to you. I mean that’s what it is about. It isn’t about any inflated stature, as the moment you can just live out your nature, you can be in your place within the structure, and none of that has to do with vanity.

After all, we don’t get to the ego until we get to the 4th base. We’re not talking about ego here. We are talking about our place and what we are in all of that. It’s this ongoing yang process of comparing, and at the same time, through the comparing, trying to find a way to integrate. “Okay, okay, I’m here in that position. All right, I accept, I’m integrated. Everybody leave me alone. You’re up there. Nice, have a good time. You’re down there, good.” The joke is, of course, that there is no up and down in all of that, there’s just the movement. It’s all relative. However, it is necessary for us.’

‘The yin/yin brings us something very basic, as survival operates two ways. One way is that you have to be able to satisfy the body, which means the proper combination of both solid and liquid going into it. The other way is the survival of the specie – that is, being itself surviving. You could substitute sex, body and sex, for being. You could put those two in that sense together. From the base level, sex has absolutely nothing to do with the Rave level. In other words, this is pure biological imperative, the genetic imperative that says, “We need to multiply.” Sex is survival and survival for the specie. Without reproduction, sooner or later you are going to die out, and of course, this is deeply opposite to what it built into us dimensionally – we are here to survive.

The human tenacity for survival is astonishing. It boggles the mind what human beings will put up with – tortures, handicaps, and discomforts. The tenacity within us to stay alive, this is the mother’s gift, after all. You see, it’s not enough to be alive; you want to ‘stay alive.’ The yin brings that, “Hey, excuse me. Survival is number one.” For survival number one, we have to do a number of things. The first thing is that you are not going to be able to eat well if you hunt alone. That’s such a basic thing. Not only that, you need to ensure that you can trust who is hunting for you. You need a way of making sure of that, and that’s sex. We are designed to come together, to reproduce.

The yin/yin is designed to nurture and the yang/yang is there to go out and penetrate. But we cannot do that alone. Only the mother can do that, because the mother is never, never truly alone, because she carries, reproduces, and creates life – she is a medium for life. This is not about sex as pleasure, sex as activity, sex as philosophy or technique – none of those things. This is a basic requirement, Being Alive 101. The moment the yin/yin is there, you have the reproductive potential.’
Ra Uru Hu | Living Design 

‘The 1st base says, “Where?” The 2nd base says, “What?” But when the yin/yin steps in, she says, “When?” There’s the yang saying, “Oh, I’m going to build you this wonderful hut.” She says, “When? How long do I have to survive until I can finally see that?” Hillel was a Judaic scholar who lived at the same time as Christ. He said, “If you are not for yourself, who will be? And if you are only for yourself, what are you? And if not now, when?” It’s a great piece of business. It’s something for us to understand about what the mother really brings. “Okay, when? When are you going to wake up? When are you going to get it right? When are you going to learn how to survive? When are you going to learn the things that you really need to learn and not all that stuff out there? When are you going to learn to be a decent human being? When are you going to learn to be yourself? When are you going to learn to serve?” All of that comes out of the mother.’ Ra Uru Hu | Living Design 

‘The mother knows that fate in the broadest sense of that word underlines everything, that the mother is helpless like all of us. She is helpless, in the context of the quality here; this is biology, not character. It’s not about what you think your status is. It’s biological and about the physical being, sustaining that physical being. To sustain the physical being, there is something that is absolutely essential that only the mother brings: touch. Oh, how sensuous the yin/yin is, because everything for them operates through touch. Touch is not something that works at a distance; you have to get close. You have to come together. What is so interesting about the yin/yin is that she demands that survival and the problems of survival are dealt with, but she doesn’t necessarily deal with it herself. She finds others to collaborate with, and that collaboration is rooted in sex.

Males are pretenders to any throne in all of this business between the sexes, always have been, regardless of what the social patina is or what the game of the civilization is. In the end, it’s in the hands of the mother, of the yin/yin. For it’s up to her whether we can embrace or not. Remember that the best that the yang/yin, 2nd base can do is build its hut in an area where others build their huts that are not really uncomfortable for them. But that’s not really collaboration; it’s just the inability to escape the fact that we need to be together. But while the 2nd base is busy building their separate shelter, it is the mother that says, “Yes, yes, yes, very nice. However, come out of there now. You come out of those inside worlds that you think are so important for you. Come out into this outside world and help us survive, because if you don’t help us survive, your inside world is going to dissolve and fall apart.” The 2nd base brings this enclosure, this private world but it’s also your mental plane, and the mother brings you back to your body. She says, “All of that is very nice, dear, I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. Would you have your dinner now?” Sustenance, baby, put some food in there, because that’s what the 3rd base is all about. This is as objective as we get – the yin/yin is the ultimate objective force.’
Ra Uru Hu | Living Design

‘3rd base female generators are the ones who hold the fire of the beauty of the yin. It is up to them whether that fire grows or as now that that fire is held underneath and is dimmed by the dominance of male propaganda, which has been going on for several thousand years. It’s been going on since Homer in our Western culture. The moment that those generators are liberated, the moment they stop being slaves that is the moment that you are going to see that we are going to get a change, a shift in the power structure. Power naturally belongs in the hands of the yin, it just does. It is only when it is in the hands of the yin, and not that the yin has taken it, but the yin is collaborating with the yang who is saying, “Yes, here, go ahead, bring me into this collaboration. Civilize me, make me more respectable.”

The vast majority of females are deeply limited, restricted and in many cases abused. That is an incredible energy that is placed out there, which is, after all, the continuity of life. It is through them that life is moving. That level of abuse and the impact on that spirit is ultimately one of the unhealthiest things that has taken place. Waking people up to their nature and waking people up to their type, that is the beginning of real healing. See that this continuity of life means everything for us. It also means that it is only through this that we get to see the truth of ourselves – we are a biological unit that can never really not collaborate. That’s how our life began, and that’s what the mother teaches us. She collaborates with us in the birthing process, because, after all, foetus and mother work together in that process to bring about life.

The yin understands the nature of collaboration. It doesn’t mean that you have to like it; it means that what it is about is so important, when finally we can be at peace, be secure in the collaboration then we’ll have the resources that we need so that we can freely continue this process of life. Through this yin/yin base you can see the glory of what the female spirit really is. Through the yang/yang, yes, you can see its beauty as well. After all, it gets all this going, it’s juicy and bouncy and everything else, but it’s a by-product of the mother. Without the yin/yin there is no yang/yang. In the end it is the yin/yin who will allow the yang/yang to disappear and there will not be any tears shed, none at all. It actually makes good sense to get rid of all those busy characters and stay with those who you can really collaborate, so that you can really be deeply hooked up to each other. The yang/yang gets in the way of us finally being able to fully cooperate. It is the yin/yin who teaches us cooperation. It is the yin/yin who insists that we learn how to cooperate.’

‘During this era that we live in, that is, the round we live in, this 19,000-year cycle that we are getting close to the end of now, the gender of the totality is being decided. It’s going to be a girl, more yin than yang; it’s going to be the eldest daughter. In a sense, this child is the totality.

Not only are we looking at the cornerstone of what it is to be human, but also more than that, we are looking at the basic equation that makes humanity possible. It begins with the dominance of the yin over the yang. The 1st and 2nd base always carry yang propaganda, and the 3rd and 4th base are always going to carry yin propaganda. In other words, they are going to do their best to present themselves in that sense. The yang when it meets the yin says, “Yes, but we’re still yang. We still have this penetrating quality.” But here in this combination what makes us human is the dominance of the yin, and that speaks reams about how important it is for us to understand form – it is essential for us to grasp. Everything about the dimensional association to this 4 is the way in which form can move. Design is structure; structure is progress; progress is smell; smelling is life; life is art – that is the progression dimensionally. So this is all about structure, and everything that is working in that structure is beginning out of the form.

This is going to be a great form that will be able to use yang energy and take advantage of it. The yang has to operate through the form that the yin provides, so it’s being controlled, in that sense, by the yin force. This is why we have this sense of darkness. On the yang side, the eldest son is the one who always claims that they speak to God the Father. Trying to control the yin, penetrate the yin, they are trying to change the form by penetrating the form. On this side it’s very different, as the yin has control of the yang and is using that energy to get things done. Not simply to sit still as the form principal, but to be the form principal in action, moving.’

‘We started with ‘where,’ in the 1st base, and when we get here to the 4th, we get ‘why.’ It is very important we know why we’re doing that manipulation. ‘Why’ is very, very important to humanity. My name for Earth was ‘why plan it.’ It was a great no-choice pun, because everybody asks ‘why.’ Aside from ‘why plan it,’ don’t get into planning things because the plan is there, this is why. You know, why is the sky blue? Children go this phase of asking ‘why’ about everything, to the point where you are ready to go totally, stark raving mad. Not only that, but it’s often embarrassing that they ask you things that you really don’t know. It’s fascinating the bullshit that kids get as feedback, or the parent goes, “Don’t ask me questions.” They don’t know. 

‘Why’ is very important to us. Why am I the way I am? Why is the world the way it is? Why is life the way it is? Why do I suffer? Why do I have to suffer? Why do I have to work? Why do I have to go to school? Why do I have to do this? Why do I have to do that? Why, why, why. Why plan it? Human beings live on ‘why plan it.’ But there is magic here, and that magic is when you don’t have to ask why – this is human enlightenment. It’s the whole thing about surrender, because in surrender there’s no question. There can’t be a question. I cannot say to the Gods “Why me?” In surrender there is no why, there just is. That’s ‘justice,’ – just is. You cannot get to the point of ‘just is’ until you know essential answers to the human questions of why. Why am I here in the world? Why am I the person that I am? Why do I act the way that I do? Why do I have this kind of life, rather than that or the other? Why, why, why – those whys becomes really incredible, because in exploring and seeking out those answers, we get deeper and deeper control and order in the way in which we operate in the world. Thus, there are greater opportunities to be able to manipulate. 

The way in which we have evolved in our civilization is that today you get rewarded for your answer. Now, that was not always true. Not only wasn’t it always true, but most people didn’t even know there was a question around because there was no generalized education, there was no generalized intellectual development of humanity as a whole. It only belonged to certain classes at the top.’

‘This 4th base is all about the ‘supermen,’ and realizing that we are really something. Of course, this is the great base of vanity. It’s full of vanity, because, after all, this is the facet of ego. This is the ego of the whole, of the totality. 

It is interesting to understand that ego is a dimension. “Thy will be done,” the power of the ego. ‘My’ will, my human will. This is not a place where you are going to find spirituality or religion. Instead you are going to find the deep, deep human process where everything has to be ordered, in the right place, and everybody has to be organized. “We’re the best, we’re human. We’re better than all of them. We’ve been able to kill them all, control them all, beat them all, feed off of them, use them, abuse them.” This is the base that says, “I’m at the top. I’m at the top of the food chain, baby.'

‘Everywhere in the universe there is an ocean of neutrinos, a grid that is generated by all the stars of the universe, plus one planet, Earth. Those neutrinos are not naturally created. It started when we ignited an atomic bomb, which let off neutrinos. We are producing neutrinos every day through our atomic fission and fusion. Atomic plants are all producing neutrinos. Think about what that actually means. A stellar field is programming the whole universe, by the neutrino production of that stellar field. That is a set mechanism moving in the formula. Suddenly, out of nowhere, here we are putting out our own information.

We’re not just processing neutrinos. Please understand that. Processing them is having the neutrino from a star come through you, and you change the quality of it before it goes back out – that’s filtering. But we as specie are putting out our own neutrino information independent of those stellar fields, independent of our own Sun. See, we are different, and we are already beginning to program the whole directly. Imagine what it’s going to be like when human beings figure that out, and they will. They will figure out how information is stored in neutrino streaming, and these atomic facilities may never again be used to generate electricity. Instead, they’ll generate neutrino information and put that information out into space at nearly the speed of light in every possible direction. That’s a very different movie, that’s our job. We’re going to figure out how all of that works, as we are here to order it all and bring my joke. This is all built into what it is to be human. “I design it. I make it happen. I control it. I manipulate it. I bring the progress. It’s me, you know, just being human.”

‘Human beings are endowed with this dimensional imperative to organize, in order to be able to progress. Ordering can lead to all kinds of things, such as the imposition of all kinds of limitations, punishment, restrictions, you name it – all of that a byproduct of progress. In the name of progress and order, Stalin killed about 12 million Ukrainians who were farm owners. Out of that chaos he could create one farm that was going to make all kinds of success in growing things. So although order can be very frightening, on the other hand, it is out of this order that everything is possible for us as humans. We are here to manipulate life, and are here to take the very power of the mythic Gods that we have worshiped and become them. That’s kind of spooky, because that’s what we are all about. We are here to create, recreate, and manipulate life.

This is our body, and after all, it’s all relative. We’re here to be able to use our bodies, to know how our bodies operate, and to be able to instruct those bodies. All the crystal consciousness that is part of our Solar System is the design crystal of the totality – we are here to run the body, as this is our body. That means the whole body, not just this little corner where we can destroy the enemy or fight the nature or whatever the case may be. This is not about manipulating the environment by cutting down some trees, ploughing the land, and building a house. This is a manipulation of the environment that gets to the point that we do not even need to act like the specie that we are. We do not need to reproduce the way all other species do -all of those things. Whatever the current morality is about all of that, the fact of the matter is that humanity is going deeper and deeper into more complex manipulation of the environment.

‘What is Human Design, after all, but an attempt to order humanity mechanically? It’s clear to me that if everybody lived out their design, we would have a very healthy, cooperative, collaborative environment in which we could all live in peace. That’s the job: try to bring order, yet at the same time, to bring that order, you know yourself what resistance you meet. You meet the resistance of this very 4th base that says, “Wait a minute, wait a minute. You don’t give me my design. I design. You don’t tell me I have no choice. I have choice. I have choice whether I’m going to allow you to manipulate me or not,” – all of this relative consciousness in the world of ignorance.

Because we do not have a clean objective view of the value of progress, we don’t have a proper way of seeing what progress is important for us to put our energy behind. It’s not about the age-old fight of whether you should build another building where there was once a piece of wetlands. It’s about seeing that we need to put our energy into those progressive things that are truly for us to be involved in – my support, for example, of the scientific investigation of the genome.’

‘At the not-self, mundane level, “This is my ego and I do everything.” At the transcendent level, this is, “We are the will of life and we are a design.” This is the answer to why. How you know that you have the answer? You smell it. Oh, this is so deep in what it is to be us. You have to smell it, as it has an aroma of something really intelligent. Smelling is so important for us. It’s everything about us. Can you ever smell a clean ego or a dirty ego and fast? 

This whole business about aroma, it drives us. It defines our environment, as smells are very, very important to us. In the tribal circuitry in humanity smell has to do with the stream that is running from the 32 to the 54, and the 44/26. That whole stream is related to the sense of smell, and is one of the ways in which tribally we separate ourselves. Smell is something is that is deeply, deeply significant to us. We are not going to have a partner who we cannot smell. We’re not going to allow people into our lives who we cannot smell. We can know instantaneously from somebody’s breath if they’ll be interesting or not. It’s the way in which we pick and choose – it’s all going on at this deep aroma level. 

Think about the way in which humanity tries to change that through the deodorant and perfume business. Aroma is something that we use as a tool of manipulation. “You can’t belong to the tribe until you smell like us.” Now, of course, that used to be basic. It meant that you ate in our house or you were clan and you all ate the same food from the same recipes from the senior female, so everybody smelled the same and everything was okay and everything was kosher that way. But you can’t do that in polyglot Cosmopolitan vast population societies where everybody, in fact, there are all these alien tribes and all these alien aromas and they’re all around. So what do you have? You have the Old Spice tribe or you have the Calvin Cline tribe. If you’re rich you have the zillion dollar perfume tribes. These are the new tribes, and they are hiding so much because they don’t let you smell them. This is the way in which people hide from each other 

It’s so deeply connected to us, aroma, in just about everything. Watch people when they eat. They have to smell the food. I mean some people do it obviously. They will take a piece of food right up to their nose and checking, “Is this going to kill me?” They have to. We manipulate environments by manipulating the environment in terms of its aroma. I truly understand why non-smokers don’t like smoking rooms. It’s a different perfume and you do not reach the people anymore, all you get is the tobacco people. You have the tobacco people. It’s like meeting people who just came from McDonald’s. You have the McDonald’s people, they all smell like old burgers for at least 20 minutes afterward – you know where they’ve been. Aroma means everything to us, and is one of the things ultimately that we are going to have to control and order.’

‘The yin is darkness – it is the forces of darkness, not the forces of light. If you take away the morality of light and darkness, the forces of darkness are heavy, physical forces. My experience with the Voice was a heavy, physical experience. It wasn’t light. It’s form. It’s not about whether that’s good or bad or whatever. But it’s about understanding the intensity of that. This is the blackest base. The mother generates life and that life can be anything. It can be life of light and life of darkness and all of those things. But it is the eldest daughter here in this 4th base where the real horror of the yang can emerge out of the organizing of the yin.

“We get rid of the lower forms, because the lower forms get in the way, so that we can continue to become supermen.” We find that kind of dialogue frightening. Today it would be terribly politically incorrect for anyone to talk about creating super humans at the expense of other life forms – people wouldn’t like that. But it’s what we are, and by the time we get enough depth, we’re going to be able to have the opportunity to turn the power of that outward, not against each other. The big job is to manipulate our environment, and ultimately to be able to manipulate the entire form. You can see where the vanity of that becomes uncomfortable. You can see why everybody was running around saying, “We are in the image of God. We are all of this. We are the most important thing in the universe. It’s only us”. It’s politically incorrect to say that we are the center of the universe, but we are, as the crystals that we all carry are what this life is all about, and we are at the center of all of that. 

We are not going to find anything out there. It’s here; it’s always been here. All of that out there is actually very close to us here. We simply have to learn how to deal with it, and we will, but not as humans, obviously. The best that we can do as humans is to get to the point that we are able to keep ourselves going, despite the fact that we should be extinct. That’s what everything is about now. That’s why we have this whole dilemma about abortion, the right to life, and all of these things. This is just the way that all of that filters out into the mundane plane. There is a great struggle going on, which is like a timed test.’

‘This 4th base represents manifesting. Once you have your ‘why,’ go out and do something about it. Once you have the answer, act on it. This is the power that is here in this 4th base. It insists that we see ourselves and get to that place where it’s justified that we are beyond nature – that we ourselves become the forces that maintain and create in nature. That’s the package in the 4th base. Each of these bases is an aspect of a dimensional field at work, but it doesn’t stand alone. 

When you look at the structure of mother and father and eldest son and eldest daughter, in the end it is the eldest daughter that holds sway. Through the 4th base we can see the future of what the totality is going to be. Having this power of the yin that will release yang energy, it is going to be a progressive, manipulative force. And I assume, given its size, that it has a hell of an aroma.’

‘The 5th base operates differently than the other bases. That isn’t to say that it is more important or more special, it simply has to do with the fact that the 5th base has an unusual capacity to integrate with the other four bases. It’s in the middle of that box of the other four, and it is able to reach out and to connect to all of it. In the dimensional sense, this is space and, of course, this is simply illusion. I mean it’s the greatest illusion of all. 

‘Who’ is the biggest illusion of all, it really is. It’s enormous. It is this essential ingredient that brings together all of those other dimensional forces and gives them in the very existence of the 5th base, an equilibrium and a platform to operate out of. In a sense, what we see through the 5th base is how everything else operates through it and how it impacts on everything else. This is about nothing more than communication, getting information data back and forth, back and forth, constantly communicating. 

The power of communication is that the communication itself is the deepest mutative force we have. All 5th bases do not bring mutation; they are mutation. They are mutative because they do not stand on anything. There is not even sand underneath their feet. They exist as an interactive field of the other four dimensions, and only as a result of that. If you turn the cameras off and there is no holographic beam going toward the center, the center dissolves into nothingness, the illusion of ‘whom.’ Think about what happens when the 1st base disappears, as we’ll a very, very different configuration. Instead of having the 5th base being in the center of four, it will be the 4th base in a center of three, and a very different mechanism will be at work in that triangle. That triangle in many ways is an emblem of the force or the embodiment that we’ll have. 

Communication is everything. Spreading of the common cold is an essential communication. Pass it along. Make sure that everybody deals with it; make sure that everybody’s immune system can handle it. That’s one less problem we have communicated. Don’t hold it in isolation. If you hold it in isolation, it becomes the most devastating weapon you can imagine. Imagine that there is no human body who has ever experienced cholera that’s alive, and then somebody releases cholera.. It’s all about communication. We like to be constantly informed, we like to be getting all of this stuff. I love it when CNN throws up the allergy map showing huge swaths of America sneezing. We are communicating. We are getting all of this stuff and so fast. You go home, turn on the TV, something else has happened. Everybody else is hearing about it, and we’re all getting the communication.’

‘This facet is subjective. This is where all the problems are. We’re wandering around inside of here from our subjective positions and we’re communicating our subjectivity in all of these various directions. It’s all about keeping us in tune, first of all, as specie because it’s absolutely essential. The binary for the facet is personality and its space. Space is form; form is illusion; illusion is hearing; hearing is music; and music is freedom. There is nothing more wonderful that a 5th base song, because that’s all it is. There are songs we like, songs we don’t like, tunes we either resonate to or don’t. That making sound is communication. 

This is not about the throat center. It is about our capacity to be able to communicate and we communicate in many ways, through the throat, the Sacral, and including the bacteriological material that comes out of your mouth as you breathe. So it’s not just the sound waves moving across the diaphragm of your ears. There are all of these many, many levels on which communication is taking place. And all of that communication defines the personality. 

The nature of human evolution and our direction is going to transcend the very nature that spawned us. It’s one of the things to see that this is about establishing the power of this larger, in that sense, personality – to be able to communicate outward, like the atomic facilities that are sending neutrinos out. They are communicating at that level. This is the field in which it’s possible to be able to communicate not simply to each other, but to be able to communicate outward.’

‘But it’s only an illusion in the way in which we perceive it subjectively. I mean that’s the illusion part. The way in which we describe all of this “life on Earth, human beings,” all of this stuff, that is the illusion part. That illusion part is there to fool us in going along with all of this business. I mean to trick us. “Well, this is what it’s all about. It’s about being a human.” That’s how we’re fooled, and we’re all fooled by the communication and by the fact that what is communicated successfully can result in mutation. The Maya is contagious – that’s the whole thing. It’s contagious because of the way in which its communication is rooted in the subjectivity of how it seems. “Ah, the world is about this.” “Oh, the world is flat.” “Oh, the world is about this.” “Oh, the world is about that.” We are constantly reinventing our world. Don’t you notice? I mean it wasn’t long ago that there was no such thing as a Manifestor or a generator. We are reinventing the world and the Maya all the time simply by changing our perception, by seeing it differently because that is the curse of subjectivity.’ Ra Uru Hu | Living Design

‘We are all in this. So the division of type becomes something very important. Out of that you get the essential ingredient of personality. It is a magical ingredient, and that ingredient is presence. 

There are some people who despite whatever their gifts, powers or whatever may be, who have no presence. You don’t really feel them. You don’t really have a sense of them. They are the kind of people who you always forget that they were there at the party. They are the ones that you can’t quite remember. They don’t really have this presence. You have to see that one of the real gifts of type is that it provides you with presence. I mean this is one of the most important by-products of what type brings. Presence is about not being resisted but being noticed. It is always about some kind of attractive force that pulls you in one way or another toward something or someone.’
Ra Uru Hu | Living Design

‘There is a wonderful connection between the 5th and the 3rd base. Voltaire said, “I think, therefore I am.” In the 5th base with presence, we come to ‘I think.’ This is where we get to be in our game with the Maya. “I think that this is the way the world is. I think that it’s okay. I think that this is right. I think this is a table. I think this is a chair.” It’s not the same as the base where we explored mind, because this is not about the construct of mind or brain system. This is the subjective field that is a by-product of all the other four fields, and out of that comes what we call the illusion of ‘thinking.’ We think we’re thinking. 

One of the things that human beings are most possessive about is their thinking. One of the things about thinking is that you believe it is yours, that it’s private that nobody can get in there – you are very possessive of those thoughts. As a matter of fact, the most common way, in the cliché to access somebody’s thinking is actually to try to pay for it, even though it is an insult: “Penny for your thoughts.” This thinking, it’s what we do, but it’s not ours and that’s the most difficult thing. If you are somebody like me, and very lucky, you have a totally unconscious mind, then you really know that thinking isn’t yours. I don’t know where this stuff comes from. I have no idea. I never have. I mean you’ve been watching me for years. I have no notes. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I can’t say that’s my thought. I mean I can only say that if I’m trying to resist the Maya. You’re not in charge of what you think any more than of what you are. It’s just what goes through. Any presumption that you have that you are initiating those thought so that you can solve a problem is an incredible joke. It’s just what is happening.'

‘This is where the problem of morality in language is so devastating. All of the moralist garbage that goes with interpreting what certain words actually mean. Until you get to a point where you know who you are dealing with, you are ruled by your moralities. You do not and cannot truly accept the other without knowing who you are and knowing who he is, and then it’s possible. That’s real progress for us in terms of our humanity. But it means that we have to come to that point from a subjective perspective. We have to come to that point through thinking and communicating. So I must communicate with you the premises in order to start your thinking process, in order ultimately that we can have a mutation. It’s the way in which it works. 

The sense is hearing, which is truly the illusion of God itself. I mean, after all, I heard the Voice. These are all illusions, but given the limitation of what we are, we have to find ways to frame things. The step-down energy of the forces that were communicating with me, I experienced that in the only way that I was capable of in that sense. But it was acoustic. That is, it was mostly acoustic. “In the beginning is the word,” it’s like the very first thing is God talking “Okay, let’s create a universe.” This hearing business is very special, and is what changes us ultimately. If you do not hear the word, it’s hard to get it. When you hear it, there is something else that is going on inside of you, because what you are hearing is not necessarily the interpretation of the language that is being used and the word that is being spoken, but it is the frequency of its delivery. Sound, the quality of sound, and the frequency of sound operate in us at very, very profound level, right down to the depth of our immune system, our lymphatic system. We are deeply, deeply receptive to vibration.

We are so attuned to frequency. As a human being and this is where the dervish comes from, we are nothing but frequency, particles, atoms, molecules vibrating, spinning, and moving. Hearing is a very special part of that frequency. Vision is another part of that frequency on that wavelength. And the acoustic for us is so important because if you cannot hear the word, you cannot be mutated. It’s actually a very simple thing, if you don’t know, you don’t know. If nobody tells you, you don’t know. And this is all about the inherent.‘

‘Mutation is magic, but it is the illusion. It’s not one of the cornerstones of the dimensional mechanical realm. Mutation is an illusion because it’s all subjective. Everything is always there, but you do not necessarily get it until it’s time for you to get it. We have all kinds of things inside of us that are simply on/off switches. They can be turned on. Mutation is something that’s waiting to happen. It’s not like you have to pray for it or hope for it, because it’s going to happen anyway. But in the end, it’s an illusion. By the time the mutation gets out, how quickly people forget that it was a mutation. It quickly becomes the norm. It quickly becomes the standard. If you go into a business community today and you watch people walking in and out of offices, it looks so different than from 1950. There is this mutation that is constantly taking place that is always there clicking in at different times. It means that all of us are mutative. Thank God the Maya is a mutative field, otherwise we would be crystals in dead meat, which is not fun at all. You have to bury them or burn them, what are you going to do with that? No, the mutation is there everywhere. But, you see, we cannot enjoy the theatre until we can suspend our disbelief. We cannot be in the movie until we are willingly extras in the film. Only then do we get the magic of all of this. Only then do you escape the pain of the Maya.

At some point when we can all embrace the Maya, and embrace the theatre of life together, that there will be abundance for everyone because there already is. It’s one of the things driving humanitarians crazy on this planet – we destroy more food than we distribute to the poor. It’s there, it’s not like it’s not there. The answer isn’t some kind of draconian, humanitarian, fascist response because none of that works. And it’s not just about being generous. If everybody who carries this knowledge impacts as many people as possible with just the basics – let them know what their type is, set them on a track of changing resistance, and in the end that changes everything.’

‘If you carry the joy of the Maya within you, you change everybody in your life. When I say ‘the joy of the Maya,’ if you are an emotional person down in your wave, enjoy that. I’m deadly serious when I say that. I lived with enough emotional people in my life to know what a mechanism that is – that’s real theatre, that’s drama, baby. Enjoy that drama that’s coming through you, whether or not on the surface you feel lousy or not is not the point. The actor on stage isn’t going to say, “Look, I don’t want to feel lousy.” You have to feel lousy, that’s your job to feel lousy right now. The program wants you to feel terrible and be in it, and yet at the same time be a witness and a passenger of that experience, so that you see it for what it is. It’s not personal, so you don’t have to carry and hold inside of you what you process. Hell, you’re not going to go to the theatre and see a movie that has no drama, it’s flat. It would drive you crazy. “Where’s the action? Where’s the turmoil? Where’s the heat? Where’s the rage?” That’s live. It’s only terrible if you’re taking it personal. It’s only terrible if you really think that it’s important. It isn’t, it’s just your role in the moment. It’s what you are playing out. 

It’s a grace to see the humour in all of this and to see that it’s not personal; it’s a mechanism. It’s about being able to be in full rage, full drama, and still somewhere inside know that this is just the theatre of your life, that’s all. It’s not whether it’s good or it’s bad. Give up on all of that. See, that’s what mutation is all about. It’s this magnificent mutation that is possible the moment you can accept what it is to be you, who you really are. It’s to not let it bother, disturb, or hurt you. Don’t let it keep you up at night. It’s just your life. It just happens and the Maya stops being such a heavy deal.’
