have mixtures o these format energies; for example, you can have a focus that is
is
governed by the pulse. These wo wou
u ld be people that can concentrate extremely well,
but only in short bursts . Format energies have a vast influence whenever you see
them in a chart, as they condition every single gate or channel.
INTRODUCTION TO THE CHANNELS
Having grasped the essentials of the nine centers in the fir st training, we can now
cast our eyes upon the 36 individual channels that link th e centers together. The
channels are transforming agents for the centers and as such they represent a
quantum field between 2 polarised energies. Many students of Human Design are
familiar with the detail o the separate parts o a channel. They understand the
specifics
spec ifics o harmonic gates
gates.. They become very familiar with those gates and the
lines that make them up.
up . They understand the function o the gate clearly when there
is no connection at the other end of the channel. However, when it comes to having
a completely defined channel. the separate values of the 2 gates at each end of that
channel are transformed in the quantum field to become something wholly new and
indivisible. The whole is always greater than the su
summ of its parts.
In this training, we will look in a unique way at the surface mec
echanics
hanics of how gates
gates
and channels operate together. This is so that you can develop a whole new
perspective in the way in which you think about the channels.
To illustrate this point let s take the example o the Channel o Talent Talent;; the 16/48.
16/48 .
Now, the fact that you understand both the 16th gate and the 48th gate does not
mean that you understand the Channel of Talent. It simply means mean s that you
understand the two ba sis ingredients
ingredients;; one o depth 48) and one of skill 16 16)) . When
only one o these 2 gates is pre se nt in this channel the story goes something like
thii s; the person
th per son who has the 48 spends their life trying to gather the skills of the 16 ,
instead o waiting to meet the people with the 16s that appreciate their depth and to
whom the skills are natural. The 16 will go through its life trying to find and develop
depth. It will read books
books and go to lectures and amass all kinds o information in an
attempt to find depth instead of being itself. itself. When the 16 is being it se lf it will
naturally draw into its life those who have the 48th gate. The se people only have to
wait for the depth to come and find them, rather than the other way around.
When we see 2 gates coming together in a channel to create a definition we are

seei ng so mething quite new.
new . With both gates defined there is no longer an
openness at the other side of the channe l. The Skills and the Depth fuse together to
c reate a new field of expression, which we call Talent.
With a single gate activated in any channel in our design, we always long for the
theme of the opposite gate, whatever that may be . Because we feel a longing there,
we can identify to an extent with this activat
activatiion. But when there is a whole channel
defined in our design
design,, there is no sense o this longing and therefore no sense o the
channel at all. The irony is that our definition s, the only part o our nature that we can
rely upon and the very essence of who we are, are usually the only part of our nature
that we do not understand .

that there is

Integration is deeply rooted in one them e; surviv al. This theme of surviva l isis made up

benefit to society and chaotic manifesting, which is deeply destructive to society.
Manifestors who do not inform before they act and who therefore do not manifest
properly,, get punished. If they are not obeying the nature of type of that channel,
properly
they are going to suffer from the anger that comes with it. These are very angry
peoplle who feel like they never were allowed to do what they know they have a right
peop
to do.
The 20 34 is a manifesting generator channel that ha s to work as a generator
generator,,
because it is the connection between the throat and the sacral. In order for charisma
to operate properl
properly , it has to be called upon rathe
rath er than proffered. In other words,
words ,
somebody has to come up to the 20 34 and say: Would you like to be busy with
this? Then they can verbally or sac sacrrally respond: Yes or Uh - huh and they will
automatically find th e right kind of activity.
We all have patterns
pattern s in our live s; ways in which we use our energy every day
day.. I know
many 20 34 s who spend a good part of every day cleaning. Keeping things clean is
holy work anyway, so this can be very healthy for them . Their energy has to go into
something. By keeping busy they keep themselves comfortable because that is their
nature. What can be distressing is when thi s turns into an obsession; for example,
people who clean 6 hours a day. day . Generators particularl
particular ly can get caught into th
the
e se
kinds
kind s of energy traps. These are coming from the not self. Th ey co come
me about
because at some point the se people did not wait to use their energies in res pon se.
So many generators
generator s become slaveslaves.. They end up doing things that they don't like .
For example: Let' s sa y you are at home and there are many things you could be

to put your energy and would be happy being busy with them.
The most important thing about the channel o charisma is that its activity is guided
guided..
By guided, what we mean is is that it must be asked so that it knows through it s
response what it wants to do . Then , and on ly then can its activi
activ ity be productive.
productive . This
is how these people stay healthy
healthy.. The 20 34 does not have a splenic connection, so
unless the 57th gate isi s present, it needs the guidance for its own well being in order
to apply it
its
s energy in a healthy way. Over the cour se o a lifetime, you build up a
se lection of things you can be busy about. You are busy about so something
mething in the
morning, then you are busy with something else in the afternoon. You ha hav
ve a stable
pattern made up of the right kinds of activity that you enjoy being involved in .
Without this
thi s guidance and prompting from without, 20 34s are chaotic. It is not as as if
they can stop being busy. After all, we are ta lking about mechanics . They have no

THE CHANNEL 57/34 THE CHANNEL OF POWER
The 57 34 is the channel of archetype. People always ask of this channel; Which
archetype am 17 and I always tell them the same thing; you're human . That is what
this c hannel is really all about.
Let' s begin with the 57th gate; the gate of intuiti
Let's intuition
on and cl
c larity. The thing to recognise
about the 57 is that through this single gate all awareness has really flowered. In
other words, it is the beginning of the entire awareness process in humanity. The
intuitive clarity inherent in the 57th gate has only one purpose in life life;; to guide the
being towards survival. This is a spl
sp lenic gate and as we know
know,, the spleen center
represents our immun
immunee system. The immune system is not interested in the
intellectual problems of the mind . It is concemed on ly with survival. Integration th e
integration channels) is the basis of our surv iv al in the world as a specie. Without
integration we don't have the neces sa ry tools to be able to survive as a specie.
That 57 34 is the intuition empowered by the sacral center. The 34th gate is the
great gate o empowerment. It is a magnificen
magnificentt font o energy. When it is connected
to the 57 it empowers our intuiti ve capac ity to survive through response. Thi s is a
pure generator channel. This says something very profound about humanity; that
the essence of human life it se lf is survival. and survival is a question of responding.
Survival is not a question of initiating or pursuing. Remember that this is is the
beginning of our evolutionary process as humans. It is not the be-all and end-all o
being.. It is simply a ve ry important component o our development.
being a human being
Because of the complex
complexityity of our designs and how they have evolved, we have gone
beyond pure respon se. But it is our pure response through th thii s channel; the
archetype, that establishes our capacity to be able to s urvive and remain healthy in
thii s life
th life..
People with this channel on ly know c larity when they are acting out of response,
when they have waited to be asked. The question ; w hich archetype am 17 cannot
be answered until so something
mething provokes a response in us. For example; we cross the
street
street and a vehicle races at us , and in that split second before our mind can do
anything we respond by leaping out of the way. Our life has been saved. That was
our true archetype as a human being in all its power. That is the pure capacity of the
archetype; to keep us alive and to alert us to all danger. This is is why this channe
channell is
called the Channel of Power. Thi s power within us is always prepared for battle
battle.. Thi s
is surv
survival
ival that is not only rooted in the avo
avoid
id ance of being eaten, but also by being
prepared our selves to kill in order that we may eat.
ourselves
Being prepared is an individual process. The 57 is rooted in the 28/38; the channel
of struggle. W e are always prepared for struggle, and thi this
s struggle can only be
productive when it is guided by the intuition
intuition.. People with the channel of Power have
a potential perfected capacity for survival as long as they are responding. If you
have the 57/34 and you have a very fancy house with wonderful things and then you
go out and buy all kinds of burg lar alarms to try to protect that house, the chances
are you will get robbed . The point here is that it is never what you think is good for
you that is good for you. You are here to trust in your moment to moment respon se,
and it is that w hich protects you. This is the ultimate burglar alarm.

a generator. Survival and awakening and the perfection of being in the now all come
out of response. Life happens on its own; problems happen birth happens death
happens change happens. The van ity of human beings is to claim that they have
any kind of control over any of this. It is all a joke. At its purest level integration
reminds us that we are all designed to respond no matter what our design. There is
no mind here. There are no emotions to cloud and distort the pi p icture. There is just
the pure essence of survival; response.
When we learn to trust in this inherent power we have as individuals then we can be
truly fearless. This is about trusting in the life that lies within us and waiting for that
life to emerge on its own without our interference. In truth we are not creative beings.
We are reactive. This is where our laughter comes from. You are out there in the
middle of the jungle and all of a sudden you have to respond to something that is
very threatening. Somehow your natural reflexes take over and you find that you
have survived. Because you have survived without really knowing how how you laugh.
This often happens when people have accidents. They laugh because somehow
they survived. Shock is a part of the individual process. In the end all laughter is
rooted at some level in survival and in how funny it is to watch this archetypal
process at work.
All the channels contain polarities and here in the 57/34 lies the possibility for
dehumanization. The opposite of be ing human is to stop responding and try to
manifest. If you have this channe l and you do not wait to respond in a sense you
lose your humanness. An example of this are those want to somehow remove our
ancient animal nature in order for the world to be at peace and for everyone to love
one another. It is exactly this animal nature deep within us that has enabled us to
survive and flourish as we have. There is great natural wisdom in this Channel of
Power. In this channel lie our most ancient instincts and the power to accept them
act on them and laugh at them. That is what make us truly human.


The 7 Creative Channels

Each o the six circuits and the integrati
integration channels) has a channel that is its
creative force. It is through these seven creati
creat ive channels that the rest o the circuitry
finds a way to express itself. These are communicative/interactive outlets that
synthesize all the channels within their c ircu
rcuiit and conduct that information into the
world. The seven Creative Channels are:

Each ci rcuit group ha s a fundamental keynote. When we come to individual c ircuitry

look at the Knowing Circuit as though it were an individual des design, the first thing that
we notice is that it is an emotional manifesting generator. Thi s mean means s that knowing
cannot be clear in the now and it must come as a re spo spon nse to something. In other
words, although knowing takestake s place in the now, in th e pu lse the empowerment o
knowing only takes place over tim e. This is very im portant to understand . It ha s to

My ex perience with 28/38s is through my 20/57 (Pe rf rfec

Then the 28/38s come along and say: say : No , you can ' t blow me off that way. You have
to tell me . I cannot get away from that. These 28/38 s force you . It is a great gift.
gift .
When they are invited, they bring enormous value to the individual process,process , as do
their mirror on the other side of the bodygraph
bodygraph,, the 39/55
Think about what a projector does as a type. A projector is a non energy type and
ha s the gift of managing the energy of the energy types types.. Once a projector is
recognized , it can put this gift to work. Think about these two proje
proj ector
ctors s that come
out of the root center. The 28/38 go es to the spleen and the 39/55 go goees over to the
emotional syst
system
em.. Both of them are there to set the stage to be noticed in some way
by the outside world . In the part of the sexuality course, which deals with the
themes
theme s of nurturing and caring in the human system system,, we learn that the 20/57
(channel of the brain wave) has a different value when it is part of integration than
when it is part of the knowing circuit. When it is part o integration
integration,, it is only self-
caring: I care for mys
myself
elf.. I don't need you. In fact it goes even further than that,
saying : I care for myself exclu
exclussively and if you die, tough . That is the ruthlessness
o integration
integration.. Some mutations never reach the out outs
side world. These are the people
peopl e
who know something and spend their whole life unable to explain it. But when the
28/38 channel of struggle comes al along (it does not matter whether it is the whole
channel or only a single gate,
gate , any kind o activation in it will do) automatically the
57th gate stops thinking only about itself
itself..
Thi s is the magic of the channel o struggle
struggle;; that is has the power to influence the
selfish integration channels
channels,, thus bringing what is truly o value across to others.
Thus the 28/38 says to the 20/57: It is not enough that you have your penetrating
awareness in the now. I also want to know this,
this , and if it's really worth knowing then
everybody else should know too, so you
you'' d better explain it to me. If you can
can'' t explain
it to m e , another freak, then you are never going to explain it to anyone. The 28/38
struggles to make sure that the knowing can become transpersonal. It is a very
important struggle
struggle.. What happens to so many 28/38s is that in their life they do not
get to meet the 20/57s that will really bring out the best o that struggle. In other
words,, they end up struggling with all the wrong things , simply because they didn't
words
wait for that invitation.

ex plaining it. It is not enough to be able to say: I am what I am and I know what I am
doing. The que ques stion for all individual
individualss is: can you ex plain what you are doing doing?? In
looking at th e designs of hundreds of my mys

common
co mmon denominator in all of them; individual definition. This does not mean that it
is th e dominant definition in th e chart,

This is the mutative force . Every time that you are looking at that mutation,

All th ese projected channels that we have been looking at have a deep impact within

For example; j u st as the 28/38 ha s to struggle with life to find value in life th e

THE KNOWING CIRCUIT
the energy to inform. This play on the words in English is actually very revealing
because it reminds us once again of the connection between the power of the
individual
(here in the sacral) and their ability to express their mutation into the world. One
could also call this the art of infection, since the individual is here to put the mutative
virus into the other. Some viruses are positive and some are negative. This is the
nature of mutation. It is not about which one is good or bad. We are talking about
the forces that drive evolution after all. We are talking about following a genetic
program that is quite beyond our understanding.
This 2/14; the keeper of keys, is about following the direction that arises naturally out
of response
response.. These people can end up going in some pretty strange directions,
since they are freaks (individuals) . The only thing which protects them and keeps
them in a pure direction is waiting to respond. This pure response can override all
the other awareness centers. It is not a question of the emotions saying: I can't go
there and it is not a question of the mind saying: I have no reason to go there .
Neither is it even about the immune system saying: This may not be healthy. The
3/60 simply responds and directs the vehicle without paying any attention to any o
these cries or pleas or doubts.
The channel 2/14 is deeply connected to the 8/1; the channel of inspiration, which
we look at next. In the 8/1 the new direction can be expressed as a living example.
But the basis of the 2/14, the keeper of the keys, is that you don't know what your
key is, or where your key is unless you are asked. The moment that you are asked,
you know. The moment that you are asked for direction, you can be the one who
empowers the way forward. Imagine how frustrating it is for someone with this
channel who does not wait to be asked. They have an in-built guiding principle
within them, but can never understand why they feel so lost as they chase after their
destiny. It goes back to what we saw in the integration system; that we are invited to
respond to life and our purest direction always comes out of this response. That is
being a keeper of the keys.

In the 10/34
10/34,, the Channe
Channell of Exploration, we see a design of following one one s
convictions. This is the connect

gate is the gate of behavior

34th
h, the gate of power. This is therefore the
empowerment of behavior, or the behavior of empowerment. Remember t hat
Human DeDess ign is a dualistic system, and these terms can alalways be in verted . This is
a generated channe l. What this means is th at as long as these people are
responding, the their powe
powerr is behaving cor
corrrectly. Put another way,
way , as long as they
are responding then their behav
behaviior is always perfect. Thi s is what it means to follow
one s convictions. The 10th gate is the gate of the love of self. When you follo

unusual they be. Out of thi

As a harmonic connection in a relationship, this connection through the 10/34 can

also have a deep effect on the couple, Ce nt nteerin g is a power that can condition even

The 51/25 is the creative chan nel o the Centering Circuit. It is the only co connection

being compe

etit iv e. Because th thii s cha nn el is linked with the 34/ 10 through the Centering
Circuit. we ca n say that initi initiation
ation is not so mething that you do, but is something that
you respond to to.. Like the 20/10,
20/10 , the 51/25 is a mymyststiica l channel. But on their own ,
these two c hann els are si mply projected channels. There is so much vanity attac hed
to the mystical way. In the 34/10, a gener

have

Howe
How eve
verr , in the 51/25, you have to be invited to initiation . Some invitation
invitations
s are quite
a shock, by the way. way . A car cras h can be an initiation
initiation.. You are invited by lif
life

respond to that. Again , the whole magic of what individuality is all about is that you
are invited to re spo
spond

interfer e.
If you touch the heart of any individual and ask them what they rea lly care about
philosophically,, they will tell you : non-interference. It is at the heart of every
philosophically
individual. As an individual. you don t want anybody to interfere with you, so you end
up not interfering with

not interfering with your own life. It is about recognizing that mutation is not up to

friends: I happen to know that you are full of shit. This is not the way things works.
You talk rubbish. They will stop being my fr iends. Since I don't have any kind
mission in th is life, I simply leave things the way they are. The moment somebody
asks me, my mind is ready to share what I know, but otherwise I do not have
anything to say. This is the secret of the mind.
The secret of the logical mind is to understand the importance of logic always
having to be invited. If you have a logical child you need to always ask them their
opinion: we are thinking of going away this weekend. What would you like to do?
What do you think woul
wou ld be fun? In other words, when you see logic in a person
you have to recognize that they actually need to hear their own pattern spoken
aloud. Every logical person needs to meet argumentation. The difficulty lies in the
fact that if you put your opinion out first, argument is guaranteed as being negative
because you immediately meet resistance. Logic has no power after all. But
understand that if you wait to be asked for your opinion and then you give it, you are
still going to meet resistance. Logic demands resistance because logic has to be
proved. It cannot be accepted at faith value. The logic mind has to be engaged,
asked for its opinion and then the joy is in the argument because the argument gets
to the bones of the matter. Both op ini ons benefit in the whole process because this
is the way in which logic grows. It grows through argumentati
argumentat ion and by being
tested. It is also important to understand that argumentation here is neither positive
or negative.

We mentioned earlier that logic is the only circu it that is not dependant upon inner
timing. The inner timing of the Knowing Circuit comes from the pulse frequency of
the format energy of that circuit
(3/60). In individuality, knowing is either there or not; the pu lse is on or off. We are
also familiar with the conditioning of the solar plexus center, which demands we wait
to be clear before we act. This is the condit
conditiioning behind the Sensing Circuit. In the
case of the Understanding Circuit. correct timing comes not from within, but from
without. A logic person can never dictate their own timing. We see so many clear
examples of this principle in the modern scientific community. For example, a
scientist who wants to do an experim ent based on his/her theory is totally reliant
upon the people who finance it. It is the money people who tell him when he can
start and how long he can have. Remember, logic is starved of energy; in most
cases, that means money. Thus the timin g is always dictated by others. This is even

The opinion of that mind wi ll always come out

going on around it or within it. The 63/4 the Channel o Logic is a doubting mind
that is constantly filtering patterns in order to see whethe
whetherr they are consistent or not.
The moment that a pattern is not co con

discovers a question, they immediately come up with their answer. This is their gift.

When we get to the 3117 , we get to the role gates which express the nature of the
circuitry. The 3117 is the Channel of the Alpha. This is a design of leadersh ip for
good or bad. All logic is dualistic . You will always find somebody w ho will argue with
you and you will always find people who will back up one pattern rather than
another. The 3117 is about the future of our planet. It is one of the ways in which we
are guided as a whol
who le, as a spec ie . Th e result of this logical guidance is what we
ca ll our democratic systems. Th ese are our elected officials. These are very different
the hereditary rul ers of th e 45th gate. We are not talking here of tribal clan rulers.
Neither are we talking of the 20th gate. These are not the spir itual leaders or the
spiritual
eaders.. This collective nature of the 3117 is projected out of the throat.
individualist leaders
These people get into a lot of trouble in life by telling other people that th ey
understand how to guide them. These people may well understand , but they can
only point the way for others
other s . They cannot do it themselves.
The politician can say that he will get more people to work but it is others that have
to do all that. This is just speak ing. One of the most important thing s to recognize
about the co ll ective le adership process is that a leader has to be elected by a
majority. They cannot be a Napoleon and wear a crown on their own hea ead
d . The
moment that there is more than one person th at wants them to be a leader eader,, then
they can lead. Co ll ectiv e leadership alway
lways
s has to ask th e permission of those who
are going to be led. This is ou r obvious democratic process today. It wo u ld do us a
wou
lot of good to be able to c leaearrly see the design of our leaders. Then we cou ld see
who we are getting and whether they can actually keep their promises. When a

THE SENSING CIRCUIT
THE SENSING CIRCUIT
The Sensing Circuit is about our abstract process. process . This is all about being human.
The Sensing Circuit is actually the force o evolution itself itself.. Without the abstract
process we would not evolve as human beings in the way that we have have.. It is not
experimental like the logical path. It is the experiential way It is our journey through
all the possibilities of life
life and therefore it is the most human o all circuitry.
The fact that it is so human also means that it is the frailest process. In this circuit
there is no true awareness that we can re ly on The spleen that looks out for our well
being is not involved. The mind is as trans
transiitory as the rest of the circuitry. There is
neither stability nor security here The re is only the endless progression of
possibilities to be explored. And yet itit is through this experiential way that we
discover the validity of our past. This is the circuit that gives birth to what we call
hi story.

betwee n the root center and the emotional system.
Thi s is the Channel
Channe l o Recognition. The most im portant difference between the
abstract way and the logical way is that the abstract gets to manifest and the logic
does not. Like the path of logic, the abstract side also has its own talent. It has a
talent for accomplishment. To accomplish something literally means to be able to
compllete it and then move on . This is c learly not the focus o logic.

If we were to des
desiign a ca lendar based on Human Design,Design , the first day of the year
would be the first lin e of the 41 st gate . In fact, the sun is in this gate fairly close to
the first day of the year. This 41 st gate is the only codo
codon

an initiator. In the same way as a capital
cap ital letter begins a sentence, so every sing le
genetic sentence begins with the 41 st hexagram hexagram.. This means that all exper

comes out o the 41, and all the possibi possibiliti
liti es o experi ences are stored within
within it.
When this potenti
potent ial for expe ri ence reaches the 30 it immediately becomes an
emotional field. In human terms,

Desire is rooted in expectation . Th e 41 is a gate of great hunger. At the other end of
this stream lies the 35th gate in the throat. The 35 is never satisfied for long . After a
good meal and a sl sleep

wh ich says: ' If I can only have a good meal. then I will be full. The entire experientia l

passenger in the vehicle.
They begin wi th th e expect

that. When they finally do get to the other end of the exper experiience all on th e
assumption
assump tion that they have gone in clearly) th ey always discover that the rew ewaa rd is
never th e same as their expecta

the witness of a n expe ri e nce than to expec

sommething from the cyc cyclle. It is better for

You cannot separate any channel and its nature from anything else in the circuitry.
You cannot separate any circuit

That 33/13 is present in every sin g le aspect of wha whatt it is to be abstract. If you have
an abstract mind, you have to recognize that reflection is essential for you; that time
is essential in order to be able to craft your story. We need somebody not only to tell
us a story of the man that ate the mushroom and died, but so somebody
mebody who

poster with a picture of the mus

The abstract is always und

process is under pressure to jump . But the SenSing circuit has no s pl ee n, so it is not
des

mechanism o the abstract. One cannot just affo rd to jump . One has to be c lear. For
example, there is great pressure on the 13 to alw
alw ays reveal their secrets before it is
time.. Those with the 33 on the other hand, being so private
time private,, may never tell you
anything that they need to tell you unless
unless the correct invitation comes. To be an
accomplished storyteller takes time . To be ab ablle to be clear about any experience
takes time. The art of accompl is hment takes

THE EGO CIRCUIT
THE EGO CIRCUIT

After all of the circuits that we have covered so far I hope you recognize the joke
when you look at this circuit. This is the tribe and the tribe is all about family and
community. It is rooted in having children in being fertile and in caring . The joke is
that there is no sacral center here. This is why people rarely understand the ego
circuit. The ego circuit is all about business . It is the business of having families. It is
about making distributing and spending money money.. It is all ruled by the ego . The
business of business is the business of working and resting. There is no sacral here
so there is no generative quality
quality.. The sacral center is the prerequisite for existence.
However if it were not for tribal circuitry we would not be able to look after
ourselves. This circuit is not a generator but a manifestor. Thus the theme of the
ego circuit is to manifest; to go out there and be busy .

The 19/49 is one of the three mysti

channels.. One of the things to understand
about the nature of community and the tribe is that it is all based on touch. Unlike
the splenic side (32/54), there is a basic need for physical contact on this side of the
bodygraph. We are back in the rea lm of the so sollar plexus after all The 19/49 is the
channel of sensitivity. The 19th gate is the pressure to need the right principles in
life. These principles are to be found at the other end of the channel in the 49th gate.
This is about being recognized

famil y. Remember that the 32/54 is recognized for its capacity to work at a job. The
jo for the 19/49 is to build a basis for marriage and bonding.
When recognized, the 19/49 is always ready to work in a relationship, and it will work
very hard. Family is now their enterprise. The difficulty lies in the fact that it is an
emotional projector who is always going up and down in a wave . These people work
very hard at relationships without know
knowiing when to take a break, because they are
not ego people. Becaus
Because e of
o f this
this,, they can easily be burnt out and this is why the 49
is a gate of divorce
divorce.. In other words, if they do not go in clearly at the beginning, then
all that hard work that they put in (especially when they are down in their wave)
seems to be just plain useless. The moment they feel overburdened and are not
getting enough rest they are ready to break off that commitment.
It is so important to understand that the fami
fam ily is a o . It requires work because the
family
famil y can t survive without that. and yet at the same time, it is not the work alone
that maintains the family . The thing that glues the family together is the inner work
