Human Design: The Defined Throat Center

Let’s talk about the Defined Throat Center, and cover the aspects of its relation to expression, communication and manifestation. And let’s talk mind. Of course. And current transits.

The magic of the Throat Center

First things first, to understand the functioning of the defined Throat Center better, let’s start right with a challenging constellation: A split between defined Head and Ajna- and the defined Throat Center.

The split between Defined Head,Ajna and Defined Throat Center

I guess this is one of the more difficult constellations in a person’s chart, as well as when it comes to actual transits.

Whenever I look at a person’s chart with communications-problems, I look if there is a gap between mind and Defined Throat Center. The thing is, you cannot in these cases communicate your insights. What the throat wants to express is rather the certain knowledge of the center to which the throat is connected to.

Where the magic happens

I lately looked at the chart of a Generator, with exactly this constellation: Defined Head and Ajna, but the throat was solely connected to the Spleen. I just told him: Do not try to express what is in your mind, express what you feel on a deeper level. That what comes out of this deep insight you have on a bodily level. And he replied: But Leni, this is always so strong and very… you know? And I was like: Yeah, I know, but this is where the magic happens. This deep insight on fleek to communicate.

I met him a few months later. Everything changed and he referred to the change as almost “magical”.  And it is. Knowing is one thing. But communication, that what needs to be communicated, is something completely different.

The current cosmic influences

So now, currently we do have these cosmic neutrino-influences: Defined Head and Ajna. And in June 2020, a split between the latter and the cosmically Defined Throat Center.

What we can express and what is needed from us to express, can differ from our insights. So as always, the question remains when to speak, and what to speak. Our deepest insights we might have under these current mental influences may sound reasonable to us. But when you do not have a natural connection between mind and throat, you may not be able to express them properly.

I know, especially when you give in to your mind, it might seem frustrating or bitter not to communicate your mental concepts. Especially when you have, suddenly, under these cosmic influences, access to the defined Head Center- Energy. But no, mental concepts are not the move of communication, until the throat is connected to it. Which brings us to the concepts of Outer Authority.

Outer Authority vs. Inner Authority

The concept of Outer Authority is often miss-communicated. It is not the mind -when you understand the mind as bubbling thinking of thoughts or understanding of concepts.

This is thinking, but the mind is much more than that. Therefore, when we confuse Outer Authority with the thinking as such, then just because we have a very limited understanding of the mind – and this is more than understandable in the light of our western upbringing, where the thinking is everything.

The Master Mind

Behind this mundane experience of our personal thinking, there is another Mind, a core concept of pure knowledge. Peeps with the Head defined have natural access to this master mind, and it might not even appear to them as something, which is not personal, because they are so used to it. But it is actually not personal. It is interpersonal, maybe even on the extend that it is transpersonal, and it is not limited to the personal experiences of time and space. This something-extra-of-knowledge is what would be the Outer Authority, and it has a magical tendency to just pop up.

And when it does, it pops up in the special fields of our authority. This is where the magic happens. It is just concealed as your Inner Authority. Let’s say, you are a Generator who is completely satisfied- because you have listened to your inner response of the Sacral. Then you naturally become a force of this Outer Authority, working for the benefit of humanity- you are aligned with this higher form of Communication.

The Mind is not the thinking

Mind is actually much more complex than the thinking of thoughts. For it is not specifically located in one center. It is everywhere. And for the Yoga Philosophy f. ex., your feelings, mood, emotions are also part of it. The mind is, so to say, the background of your existence, but it would be a limitation to define it as thinking-of-thoughts.

The Defined Throat Center as the Center of Manifestation

As our throat center is the force of manifestation, it is per definition the crystallizing of the Outer (trans-and interpersonal) – Authority. It does what it does, without that you can control it. I mean, you can try, but there will nothing from importance come out of it.

Even Manifestors cannot manifest whatever they think they like to manifest – just that what is in them on a bodily level. What is needed to manifest. What is aligned with Outer Authority. (I mean let’s do not focus on the non-self-strategies here.) In a higher sense, Inner and Outer Authority are one, when we only make the synthesis and do not see differentiation as something which stands alone for itself. But it is not necessary to understand that.

As always, so much more needs to be said on this topic.

Love, Leni
