Does Your Voice Come from Your Mind?
Now very few 8-1s ever hear their own voice. You see, we live in our mind trip. Everybody’s in the mind trip. On this recent tour, I did use many different teaching techniques than I usually do, and I did an introduction that was entirely informal. It had nothing to do with teaching people about how Human Design works. I just wanted to shock them because that’s my nature.
I started off by asking them if anybody knows where their voice comes from and of course they don’t. They have no idea where their voice comes from. The assumption is it’s the mind that does all that. That’s the assumption. You ask the average human being, the average 6 billion out there, where their voice comes from and they’ll tell you it comes from their mind, and then they feel very uncomfortable because, of course, it’s not true. It’s just not true. Yes, some people have a voice like me that comes from the mind, but it’s not true for everyone. It’s a matter of your design.
So here when you’re dealing with the definition, when you’re dealing with the 8-1, you’re dealing with a channel that speaks out of the identity. It speaks out of the identity. Now in order for somebody to hear that voice, they have to stop trying to get their mind to speak. And everybody is busy trying to get their mind to speak—everybody is busy trying to get their mind to speak. They’re always writing scripts, they’re always having phantom conversations in their head, they’re always preparing. They’re always trying to get it out the way they think they should get it out.
And then when their time comes, they babble and burble and none of it comes out the way they want and then they’re really upset and they think they have a problem with their mind. And their mind didn’t know anything about it in the first place because it wasn’t supposed to be there. It comes out of their identity, in this case.
The nature of bitterness in the voice is the whole thing that you get to notice about individuals when they can’t explain themselves. There’s this terrible sourness in their voice. They usually tell you that you don’t know anything. Without the recognition, it’s not enough that you’re an 8-1 and you step into
somebody’s aura. And in stepping into their aura, they recognize that you’re ready to make a contribution and they call that out by inviting it. Because, you see, if you’re not ready, if you don’t know how to explain yourself, it isn’t going to help that much.
In other words, yeah, it’s going to be correct and they’ll sort of get a little bit of what you’re trying to get across to them. But that’s one of the deepest focuses for individuals, for them to recognize how important it is to be able to explain themselves. And some of the deepest individual creativity is just explanation. You see, explanation brings mutation. I mutate you. I mutate you by explaining to you how it works. That’s all I’m doing. That’s my job. All individuals are geared to do that—all of them, all of them.
So it’s very important to see that this 8-1, in the nature of its creativity, is really here to mutate through its explanation and mutate through its explanation rather than what it does because it’s a verbal gate. In other words, the primary function of this channel is to be the voice of direction. It’s their role. I’m the voice of direction. This is the direction. Let me empower you with the way.”
And the next criteria to this channel is to keep in mind that it’s individual and therefore it’s melancholic. And you see the only way that an 8-1 is ever going to figure out how to explain itself,—and remember that’s not mental, oh don’t miss the point here. You see, it’s not like you practice in your mind what you’re going to explain. No, no, no, no. It’s about learning how to listen to your identity speak. And the more you learn how to let your identity speak, the wiser and clearer it will become.
