This is a question from a student in one of my Human Design professional certification classes.
"Quick question about the Nodes. I always assumed that once we're aligned, we see through that particular lens all the time. I just wanted to confirm if that was true or if there is a 'now you see it, now you don't' interplay happening? There's always the ebb and flow, coming to know things through contrast. As I'm writing this, I'm suddenly thinking about transference always being part of the cognitive process, which might account for the 'now you don't' counterbalance. My 27.4 South Node is in an undefined center pointed at an open gate 50. So my mind is conditioned to think about and learn about it in that way, which it does all the time. It primes the way I frame every encounter and moment by moment experience. Can I trust this to be natural, or might it be obsessive?"
The magnetic monopole is the agent that holds our personality and design together in an illusion that we are separate from each other. The Design North Node and Personality South Nodes are called "Link Nodes" and connect our design and personality. The Nodes are the windows of your vehicle. When you look out of the vehicle, most of us will see things primarily in two ways: either our perspective or our distraction. That vacillation between the two will always be there.
This information is not about trying to avoid being distracted by your color transference. It's about watching the counterpoint of your view and knowing when the windows are foggy—your distraction—to do your best to observe what happens when you can follow your body vs. when the conditioned mind moves you. When you operate and "see" correctly, out pops your motivation when in alignment for action. This information not about controlling how you see or trying to see things differently. Ra simplified everything down to follow your strategy and authority and to watch the movie because you will see it if you can be aware of it.
Ra teaches that if you are NOT operating correctly (strategy and authority) and the body isn't aligned to the correct determination and environment, your magnetic monopole will not have the right capture frequency. Therefore, your perspective will be distracted. Now, as when riding in a car, you will see the terrain shift. Your attunement to seeing the objects as you ride along the highway of life will ALWAYS be sensitized to seeing your nodal environment gates. Always. Because this is the environment where you can fulfill your purpose.
Nodes are the stage upon which your life is set, your storyline which you carry around with you no matter where you go. This cross of life is the framework for where you be (design) and how you see (personality). When someone has your nodal gates in their design, you are attracted to either seeing them (conscious) or being around them (unconscious). If they have the Sun/Earth in exact lines, you may feel an unexplainable draw to them for you to fulfill your karmic connection with them.
We are on choiceless geometries. Surrender to watching your movie move and just witness, see, be aware. Let the body move you. What I call "Nodal draw" can be applied to all life cycles wherein someone comes into your life, and they are simply part of your life cycle seeing—beyond this class's scope to explain in detail here.
We address this in a Life Cycles Analysis and Cycles Certification. An undefined nodal gate is a strong hook, a conditioning receptor of the undefined center.
What causes Center conditioning?
Decision-making from adaptive mental strategies. Anyone or a transit lights up that center through definition. Example of having gate 27 as a node: Your mind becomes obsessed with gate 50's themes of "responsibility, either avoiding it or taking on too much because of fear." YOU CAN NEVER TRUST YOUR MIND'S MENTAL PROCESS ABOUT YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. This is because it is never reliable, it is always conditioned by life and who you are with, especially as a Projector.
If all nodes in someone's design are in an undefined state, the ride is much bumpier in that there is not the same consistency in the being's life, and the spirit (auric signature) can be broken. So those of us (I am one of them) who have all undefined nodes are more likely to have real inconsistencies in the path we are walking and the people we walk them with over our lifetimes.
