It really deserves a clear warning to anyone who still believes in ‘free will’ and has any personal attachment to that concept, when they come to meet the mechanics of Penta, because it is here where it starts becoming rather obvious that humanity is a species that is as deeply programmed by the forces of evolution as all the others are, and that we are all helplessly carried forward in our lives by those invisible trans-auric forces that we call ‘Penta’ and ‘WA’. It is somewhat horrifying to know, though it is also hilarious if you think of it, that the most common currency for measuring love within small human groups is ‘self-sacrifice’. No matter what culture we are talking about, nothing will receive more appraisal than a human being that is ready to sacrifice in benefit of any member of his/her family or his/her co-workers in the workplace. Penta group dynamics create a homogenized scale of human value where everyone competes to prove their individual value as a strategy to get recognition from the other members of the group. It is no wonder that we have always been such a wining and miserable species, even in good times, and no wonder that planet Earth has always been seen and called by the mystics of all times as the ‘planet of suffering’. What is actually more shocking than horrifying is the recognition that this is all geared by an invisible magnetic vortex (The Penta) that operates through the G-Centre of humans, and takes advantage of our potential for collective human consciousness to keep us all with our shoulder to the suffering wheel of homogenized Karma. The way it does this is by (magnetically) ‘using’ the ideas and believes that humans have about love and moral duty, as a way to pull and keep people together in identification with the same group aura. When you are alone in your own aura, the flow of consciousness mysteriously fuels an individual sense of ‘I am’ in relationship to whatever it is that you are thinking. At its core, ‘I am’ is a mystery when you are alone in your aura. However, the moment there is someone else entering your aura, the individual mystery becomes interesting (or not), because it creates the demand on both sides (or not) to meet the other in truth, as the only way to explore the possibilities of our individual potential to love ‘being in the world’. When we interact ‘one on one’ through the aura, none of us has great difficulty in recognizing and accepting that both ‘Love’ and ‘Truth’ can manifest in a very different way for me than for you. Yet, the moment there is a third person entering the shared aura, automatically the natural consistency of the exchange between ‘You’ and ‘I’ goes out the door, and what takes over establishing the interactive protocols amongst the different members is a trans-personal sense of ‘We’. This sense of ‘We’ can only find some consistency, and endure through the ups and downs of shared experience, when it manages to remain anchored in the material reality of life and in the drive to survive this material plane together as a group. Because we normally spend most of our time as children immersed in these group dynamics, the immense majority of human beings grow accustomed to it and are totally unaware of these regular shifts in the shared flow of their consciousness, and so they fail to recognize the way in which the density of the materialistic approach of the group narrows down their perspective on life as a singular individual. Well, this is only the beginning of the way in which the Penta dynamics exercise a slow but unstoppable ‘emotional domestication’ of the individual spirit during the first seven years of life. It is within the family life in our childhood that we learn to identify truth as a (rationally) discussable dogma that we all should (preferably) agree on, and we also learn to identify love as moral duty towards the rest of the group members. This is the main reason why when we interact in small groups (3 to 6 people) everybody is (knowingly or not) wearing a mask, that makes them appear to be a lot more ‘agreeable’ and ‘civilized’ than they actually are when they meet others in the privacy of ‘one to one’ interaction. It is not easy for anyone to fully comprehend the way in which Penta dynamics (small group/family life) condition all of us during our earliest childhood and beyond, if one does not simultaneously understand the way the small group dynamics are forcibly subservient (by law) to the social dynamics implemented by WA (large group/society). These sociological gears become a bit more obvious if we consider that the way parents condition their children during their childhood is more than often NOT something they do in their own name, but rather something they do in the name of the parental role that they embody, one through which they represent themselves as an honorable member (or not) of their civilization, which is a role into which the birth of their children has automatically locked their consciousness, driving them to, voluntarily or not, provide continuity to the homogenizing power of the evolutionary program. It is scary to think how little human beings really know about their parents (especially as children) that falls outside their parental role, which is one of the most homogenized roles a human being can play in someone else’s life, as it is automatically delivered by the power of the genetic imperative to reproduce. It is a known fact that ‘good’ parents provide security and protection for their children, but not necessarily the most intelligent and transparent version of ‘truth’ and not necessarily the most detached and self-empowering version of ‘love’. From whichever angle I want to look at it, what seems absolutely clear to me, after 30 years of intense study of the human condition and its most fundamental cognitive mechanics, is that there is a core conflict in the way in which our individual sense of self is built from the moment we come into the world. On one side is the way in which we relate to ourselves (who we think we are, whichever way we feel about it) and on the other is the way we try to establish a harmonic relationship to the different members of the group that we belong to, whatever their individual role happens to be. Now, we cannot really separate one from the other, because when we were born, we did not really know how to think about any of it. Unfortunately, this original state of helplessness with which we all come into the world makes it compelling that the way we think and feel about ourselves tends to be determined by the level of harmony/disharmony that we experienced as children in being able to successfully blend in (or not) with the rest of individuals that were part of our same human group. I would like you to understand that what I am describing here is a form of conditioning that nobody can escape, because it describes a ‘hidden’ mechanic that applies in ALL cases, independently from whether the family into which you were born was rich or poor, or from how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ your parents seemed to be in how they related to you through their role. Even though it may seem that it is those like myself, who carry no definition in the Penta field, who would be most deeply conditioned by these human group dynamics, the truth is that it is those who carry definition in that field who may end up living their entire lives in deep identification with that kind of homogenized and conventional mentality, because to recognize the supreme importance of surviving as a group is something that is deeply ingrained within their inherent individual nature. They are the ones most prone to identify with the ‘Roles’ and ‘Rules’ that allow the human group to move forward, and they learn to see their determined readiness for self-sacrifice as a humanitarian virtue that makes them more ‘special’ and ‘deserving’ of social success and recognition than the average human being. As a consequence, they end up becoming the ones that carry the homogenizing program forward, passing the spiritless distortion of their homogenized fears on to the next generation, and so it goes. Like everything else in Human Design, the revealed information is not there so that we can change the way the life program works. It is the recognition and acceptance of its fundamental laws that provide us with a chance, as nine centered humans, to transcend those mechanical laws by learning to personally take advantage of them. This is not about making anyone afraid or repelling of the human group, but it is much more a warning against its distortive potential when you allow it to determine the perception of ‘who you are’ for yourself. Once you know how to prevent that from happening, it will always be you who decides when and under what conditions it is correct for you to transitorily merge in those group dynamics with the right people and the purpose that is correct for you.
