Personality crystals don’t exist

Collected by Emiro Parra and their wonderful heretic 1st line

If you go back in the cosmology and you look at this very early panel, I think it’s the fourth panel in the Bhan Tugh series, it says “A Rave has a Personality Crystal and Design Crystal.” Then it says, “They are the same.” And that’s really something to try to grasp. It’s about as deep as anything can take you, in a sense, in this knowledge, because it really speaks so clearly for what has always been my point of reference, which is the form principle, that this is all form. That in the quantum there is this illusion of consciousness and light and all of these things, but all of that is an illusion that is simply the quantum of juxtaposing form principles.

It’s the thing that’s so amazing; it’s the thing to think about when you think about two gates making a channel. The gates are just an inanimate form principle; they’re not anything else. But the moment that they come into juxtaposition with that gate at the other end, it’s the quantum that’s the life force. The life force isn’t within at all. It’s all form principle. We live in the illusion.

So, the first thing to begin to grasp is the great lie. The great lie is that in fact there is a Personality. Well, there isn’t; there is the preparation for the Personality. In order for us to really understand the form principle, we have to recognize, even though it is exceedingly difficult to accept, that it is all form. It’s all form. And it started right from the beginning. There wasn’t some magical Personality Crystal on the outside coming in. And first of all, the inside was already there.

We have two kinds of Design Crystals. We do. Within the context of the way in which we operate, we call one of those kinds of Design Crystals a Personality Crystal. You see, because everything about the development of consciousness at this point in the grander themes of this evolutionary process, and I mean the grander themes, that what we are actually involved in is something that we see in microcosm, in a way that only, I think, Design can show you is this preparation for the coming of the Personality Crystal.

It’s in our deepest mysticism, it’s in our religious beliefs, this ‘coming of,’ that it’s going to come, that it’s going to arrive, that the spirit of God is going to show up in whatever flavor you happen to be connected to. We talk about it within the context of the normal superficial Design world. We talk about this moment when the Personality Crystal enters into the vehicle. And in our journey in this first semester to go deep into the form principle, we will look at the way in which the Design Crystal, at least in its early stages, works in establishing this form mechanism.

But what does it work with? Think about the way in which a Design Crystal works. What is its job, after all? It has this extraordinary job. The job is to run this immensely complex bio-mechanism. It’s immensely complex. You don’t want to spend your life counting the cells in your body. But Human Design tells us something. It says that every single cell has a Design Crystal, no Personality, but every single cell has a Design Crystal. It’s something to think about.

“When I teach Human Design, I teach you that there's a Personality Crystal and a Design Crystal and I do that to appeal to your vanity.”

“And we have this illusion, because I tell the story in the beginning was a Yang and a Yin and the Yang banged into the Yin. But they were both Yin folks, sorry, what to do. We are soulless we are all soulless. I don't have to take your souls. I can just tell you they're not there, it's true. That's why we’re lost.”

“You see, what we have is, we have mechanical tools for preparing us for Personality Consciousness. They are like training wheels on a bicycle, these personality crystals. But they are not the personality. They are not Yang. They are not the light, just form, form principles. You see where we call our Neo cortex, this capacity for self-reflective consciousness, this is the back seat of the limousine. We have to build that backseat and we build it by pretending to have a soul so to speak.”

“A Rave, a human being has a Personality Crystal and a Design Crystal. They are the same, don't tell that to your clients. They won’t understand. I don’t think you do either."

"We are waiting for the light, we are building the lantern through which the light can shine. That's our job. We are building the lantern."
