This week you may have noticed that you have enjoyed thinking about and welcoming epiphanies that lead to remarkable insights. With Trail 43, we have a unique thinker who offers new ideas to solve old problems. These insights come seemingly out of nowhere and you don’t know how you came up with the perfect solution. It’s like pulse, sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not. This is not logical energy so knowing the how doesn’t matter, just trust and remain open to the new knowing without doubting what you know. Also welcome the uncertainty and rest to the notion that you don’t have to know everything. Over the next couple of days, try to be comfortable with not being certain and see how that feels. You may find that it feels invigorating or freeing to say, “Hmmm, I don’t know.”. Besides, when you have know everything, life can get pretty boring. Also being comfortable with not knowing allows for an environment of openness and mystery which is necessary for a genius breakthrough.
You might take this skill of insightful genius for granted if you have this in your design chart, assuming that everyone experiences flashes of brilliance and lightbulb moments. Truth is, your thoughts and your thought process are unique to you. Never mind about your ideas being overlooked or rejected, that doesn’t make them any less valuable. Believe in what you know, even if you don’t know how you know it. It is correct for you to share your insight in the way that is organic and make sense to you and trust that those who are meant to understand and benefit from what you are saying will and those who don’t... it wasn’t meant for them to get it. Release the need to convince others or to get them to see things your way. You best use this skill when asked to share your epiphanies at the right time with the right people. Others can sense when you have something brewing as your aura/body language tells them that you have something to share. And when they are ready and open to hear it or when they can tell that you have completed your inner awareness process, they will invite you to dazzle them with what you know or what new solutions you’ve conceived.
An Ear for Efficiency
With this trait comes what some would call selective hearing. To be able to hear your internal conversation and process your insights, it requires you to be able to drown out the opinions of others as you are not to be distracted or influenced. Others may have experienced you as not being a good listener or not being willing to hear what others have to say. The applicable use of this ‘deafness’ is to not pay attention to naysayers or those who may reject your insights become they can’t fathom them.
While living in Japan, I learned that one of their words to describe insight was satori which describes a sudden breakthrough within. Having the inherent skill to have pulsating strokes of genius, those with the trait 43 contribute to the team by availing out of the blue and out of the box solutions. These refreshing perspectives and innovative ideas makes you valuable in professions that require analytical and strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. You’d excel in roles where the ability to see beyond what’s in front of you into the bigger picture is essential such as consultancy, planning and research.
Eureka!
I don’t have this skill in my chart, but I do have its counterpart, Trait 23 of Clarity which enables me to translate and then communicate complex concepts into simple, relatable terms, hence my work here at Satori Synergy helping professionals use Human Design as a self-awareness tool to empower themselves to thrive in their working environments.
