Have you ever noticed how your mind can go on and on and on and on when trying to make decisions? And in the process creates illusions to control and force? Or get stuck in the pressure to understand and know in the moment, but instead just get more confused? It is because the mind is not built for decision-making in the first place. The decisions we are talking about are those important decisions in your life.
You should not make decisions with your mind, EVER,
according to Ra Uru Hu (Founder of Human Design)
Your mind is good for thinking, feeling, imagination, rationalizing, strategizing and all those things yes, but not to make important decisions.
If you make decisions with your mind, what will often follow is, disappointment, bitterness, frustration or anger, because usually you act out of the not self, depending on what your strategy and authority is as per your human design.
Strategy is how you were designed to navigate with the world and Authority is how you are designed to make decisions.
There is a single STRATEGY and a single AUTHORITY, making up your mechanism to make decisions.
THE 4 STRATEGIES:
- TO RESPOND – Wait to be asked to respond to the world around you.
- WAIT FOR THE INVITATION – Wait to be recognized and invited.
- TO INFORM – Inform before you act or initiate action.
- WAIT THE LUNAR MONTH – Wait for a lunar cycle.
THE 7 AUTHORITIES:
- EMOTIONS – How you are responding with your emotions to a decision you are about the make. It is best to wait for emotional clarity when you neutral with your emotions after you went through the up and the down waves. It is never a good idea to make decisions in the moment.
- SPLENIC – Very quick instinctual knowing in the moment, telling you only once.
- SACRAL – You feel it in your gut, the way your body responds with Yes or No questions relating to the decision for clarity.
- SELF-PROJECTED – When you say it out loud, you will hear it in your own voice if right or not.
- HEART – What are your deepest desires? If you really want it and have the will to do it, you will find a way with the resources too.
- ENVIRONMENTAL – You need to be in the right environment to find the clarity for decisions. If the environment is not right for you, everything else in it can be wrong for you.
- LUNAR – Usually best to wait for a lunar month for all the important decisions and go through all the motions relating to the decision to gain the clarity. To be in the correct environment is also important.
