Transcript
- 0:11Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
- 0:17Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
- 0:21Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design.
- 0:25Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and I am so happy to be here with you.
- 0:29Nicole Laino: We're actually talking about a topic that I have wanted to talk about on this show for a long time, and I don't think we ever have.
- 0:36Nicole Laino: If we did, it was a really long time ago.
- 0:38Nicole Laino: I didn't go back to look, but I was just like, I want to talk about this.
- 0:41Nicole Laino: And I don't think we've talked about it.
- 0:43Nicole Laino: And if we didn't go this deep.
- 0:45Nicole Laino: And it was a really long time ago.
- 0:47Nicole Laino: So this is very fresh.
- 0:48Nicole Laino: I'm so excited.
- 0:50Nicole Laino: I love talking about new stuff because this is actually something I think about all the time.
- 0:56Nicole Laino: I am always so conscious of this and I feel like this is one of those things in human design people don't talk about that much.
- 1:02Nicole Laino: And the reason for that is this is a very advanced aspect of human design.
- 1:06Nicole Laino: It's not something taught in a lot of programs.
- 1:09Nicole Laino: People don't really understand it.
- 1:11Nicole Laino: There's not a ton of information out there about it.
- 1:15Nicole Laino: Even you would get more into this in, like, BG5, which is the traditional human design business program.
- 1:21Nicole Laino: You would get more into that there.
- 1:22Nicole Laino: But it's fascinating topic.
- 1:25Nicole Laino: So before we get started, I do want to let you know that we have a really cool guide.
- 1:29Nicole Laino: So if you're into human design at this level, if you're like, I'm interested in these, like, group energy dynamics because we're going to talk about the penta and the wa.
- 1:36Nicole Laino: That's so exciting.
- 1:37Nicole Laino: If you're interested in this, if you're like a human design enthusiast to this level, then maybe you've thought about using human design or maybe you already do in your life or in your coaching, whatever it is.
- 1:47Nicole Laino: We have made a coach's guide to human design, which is totally free that you can download if you go to nicolelaino.com coach or you DM me the word coach on Instagram.
- 1:58Nicole Laino: I'm icoleno official and you can get the guide right there.
- 2:02Nicole Laino: But you should read that.
- 2:03Nicole Laino: That is kind of like my spin on.
- 2:05Nicole Laino: Because there's a difference between knowing what human design is and actually knowing how to use it.
- 2:09Nicole Laino: And guide people with it.
- 2:10Nicole Laino: And that's what that guide is really, you know, making the distinction between.
- 2:14Nicole Laino: And we actually give you my frameworks and the ways that I think about guiding the five different types.
- 2:20Nicole Laino: So we gave it to you at the type level.
- 2:22Nicole Laino: And then there's a lot about, like, how this really shows up, what the differences are, you know, more of the philosophical stuff in there.
- 2:28Nicole Laino: So it's a hefty guide and it's super valuable and it's free.
- 2:31Nicole Laino: So, like, why don't you give it a shot, right?
- 2:32Nicole Laino: If you're interested in it, go see what's in there, check it out.
- 2:35Nicole Laino: I promise you, I don't make crap.
- 2:36Nicole Laino: All of my stuff is very good.
- 2:38Nicole Laino: That's the feedback we get.
- 2:39Nicole Laino: But let's talk about this.
- 2:41Nicole Laino: So what we're talking about today is we are talking about two concepts in human design are that are called the penta and the wa.
- 2:49Nicole Laino: So what are these things?
- 2:50Nicole Laino: So this is really about, at the core, what these two things are a part of.
- 2:54Nicole Laino: I'll tell you what each one means and we'll talk about how they show up and all of that fun stuff.
- 2:59Nicole Laino: This is group energy dynamics.
- 3:02Nicole Laino: So you don't have a penta, you don't have a wa, I don't have a penta, I don't have a wah.
- 3:08Nicole Laino: These are for groups.
- 3:09Nicole Laino: This is when more than two people come together.
- 3:13Nicole Laino: And I'll talk about the distinctions between these.
- 3:16Nicole Laino: And, you know, this is gonna be kind of like an intro into what these things are and how they work and how we see them working.
- 3:21Nicole Laino: And I promise you'll, like, never see the world the same after you start understanding what penta and wa are.
- 3:28Nicole Laino: So the group energy dynamics change and shape our lives in truly, like, unconscious ways.
- 3:36Nicole Laino: Because you think you are who you are.
- 3:39Nicole Laino: You think you know yourself.
- 3:40Nicole Laino: And if you're into human design, then you probably really think you know yourself and you know your process and you have all of these truths, right?
- 3:47Nicole Laino: But you are different in every group.
- 3:50Nicole Laino: Take a moment to think about that.
- 3:51Nicole Laino: Take a moment to think about how when you are around a certain group of three people, how different you are.
- 3:58Nicole Laino: Think about how you're different when you go to, like, a concert or you go to a protest, which there are lots of those these days, or you go to a big conference, maybe in your industry.
- 4:10Nicole Laino: How are you different there?
- 4:11Nicole Laino: Do you get bigger or do you get smaller?
- 4:13Nicole Laino: Do you feel like people see you more when you're in a group or less?
- 4:17Nicole Laino: Do you feel the same?
- 4:18Nicole Laino: Maybe you do but you are different.
- 4:20Nicole Laino: So group energy dynamics start to answer.
- 4:24Nicole Laino: They are at the heart of the answer to questions like why do some people feel powerful or more clear in a group than they do one to one.
- 4:35Nicole Laino: Like, why do some people come alive when they are in like a little team?
- 4:38Nicole Laino: Right.
- 4:39Nicole Laino: Why do some people have an unexpected lanable hold on a large group versus others?
- 4:46Nicole Laino: Why do some people have that?
- 4:47Nicole Laino: Why do some people just have that?
- 4:48Nicole Laino: And we'll use the term magnetism.
- 4:51Nicole Laino: Why is it some people, you can't take your eyes off of them, you can't stop listening to them, you are really called in or pulled into their energy when they're operating in a certain way with a certain group.
- 5:06Nicole Laino: Group energy dynamics, the penta and the wa are at the heart of the answers of all of these questions.
- 5:12Nicole Laino: Any question like that.
- 5:13Nicole Laino: So in this episode I'm going to break down what the penta and the wa are and we're going to talk about this from like a bigger, grander scale.
- 5:19Nicole Laino: How this is working and why it's so important and why human design is so important, why we bang on about things like 2027 and what individuality is going to mean and how the world is changing.
- 5:33Nicole Laino: This is at the core of all of it.
- 5:35Nicole Laino: Okay, so let's start with the penta, because this is a bit easier to understand.
- 5:40Nicole Laino: So family dynamics are really at the heart of the penta.
- 5:45Nicole Laino: Penta happens whenever three to five people come together.
- 5:50Nicole Laino: Now if you have a party and there are 20 people at the party, that party you will notice.
- 5:57Nicole Laino: Now that you know this, when you walk into any party, you're going to start to see.
- 6:01Nicole Laino: You'll see groups of three, you'll see groups of four, you might see a group of five.
- 6:06Nicole Laino: You won't see like groups of six.
- 6:07Nicole Laino: They'll start to pair off, they'll start to.
- 6:10Nicole Laino: You'll see one to ones that still exists, right?
- 6:13Nicole Laino: We still have one to one connection, but that is still you and somebody else.
- 6:17Nicole Laino: There isn't this group dynamic thing that's happening yet.
- 6:20Nicole Laino: It happens when three to five people come together and that creates kind of this like little energy vortex between all of the people.
- 6:26Nicole Laino: And it really depends on who's in that group.
- 6:29Nicole Laino: That changes the group dynamic.
- 6:31Nicole Laino: You will feel different.
- 6:33Nicole Laino: It's not going to be every group of three to five people, although there are some people who are penta people.
- 6:38Nicole Laino: And if you're a penta person, then in groups of three to five people, you might stand out more so than people who are not penta people like My husband is not a penta person.
- 6:47Nicole Laino: Doesn't have any penta energy, really.
- 6:50Nicole Laino: He has lots of individual energy.
- 6:53Nicole Laino: And the penta is about team.
- 6:55Nicole Laino: Whether it's a family team that is striving for success within their family and for the family to thrive and all those things, or it is a team at work.
- 7:08Nicole Laino: He's not really that person.
- 7:09Nicole Laino: He's like the dude that's like, I do my own thing, thanks.
- 7:14Nicole Laino: Like, I don't really need to be part of the group.
- 7:16Nicole Laino: And you'll always see him kind of like he's like one to one with somebody, or he's like, I'm out.
- 7:22Nicole Laino: And he'll go find a way to be by himself.
- 7:24Nicole Laino: And he's a projector.
- 7:26Nicole Laino: So we've got double here.
- 7:27Nicole Laino: He's got his projector energy, which focuses an individual more easily than it focuses on a group.
- 7:34Nicole Laino: And then he's not a penta person.
- 7:35Nicole Laino: So it's like not into this whole group thing.
- 7:37Nicole Laino: I'm a penta person.
- 7:39Nicole Laino: I have a strong presence in a penta.
- 7:42Nicole Laino: And knowing that and looking back on my life, why, whenever I worked in companies, like I had just this strong presence, I just rose very quickly to being a core member of a team.
- 7:58Nicole Laino: Not because I tried, not because, like, that was a goal for me.
- 8:02Nicole Laino: It just naturally happened.
- 8:03Nicole Laino: My energy gets recognized in that type of situation and then now pair that with the other aspects of my design and who I am as a person.
- 8:14Nicole Laino: Virgo and Saturn in virgo in my 10th house.
- 8:18Nicole Laino: Yeah, I show up at work a pretty disciplined, hard worker.
- 8:24Nicole Laino: So like, all of that to say, like, there's a human element on top of this, but it's also, you show up and you shine more easily in these type of dynamics.
- 8:35Nicole Laino: So the penta has a goal, but it's a goal as a group.
- 8:39Nicole Laino: It's a goal for that team, for that family to succeed, to thrive.
- 8:46Nicole Laino: And it works together.
- 8:47Nicole Laino: The energy pulls together like a little vortex in order to make that happen.
- 8:53Nicole Laino: So pentas can be complete or they can be incomplete.
- 8:57Nicole Laino: When they're incomplete, we end up getting a group that might have a lot of fun together, but they might not necessarily be moving forward and succeeding to the level that they want to, they might have more of a struggle.
- 9:12Nicole Laino: But when we have a complete penta, where all of the energies within the pentasphere and penta centers around the G center and the columns between the channels, between the sacral to the G center and the G center to the throat center, if you don't have any channels in there.
- 9:32Nicole Laino: If you have an open G center, you might not be a penta person.
- 9:36Nicole Laino: That doesn't mean that you can't be successful.
- 9:38Nicole Laino: It just means that if you found that you were a little bit more muted in those settings where maybe you worked with a group of three to five people, maybe you worked on a team and you're just like, yeah, no one ever really saw me there, or I worked really hard, but like I didn't rise like some of the other people, or I had to work really hard to do it, or it never really felt like the right place for me.
- 10:00Nicole Laino: Then that could be more to do with your energy dynamic than it has to do with the work that you put out.
- 10:06Nicole Laino: Who you are, how much you liked those people.
- 10:10Nicole Laino: Or you might have had fun there, but not really felt like it.
- 10:12Nicole Laino: It was like your contribution was recognized the way maybe that other people's was.
- 10:18Nicole Laino: So this is how penta works.
- 10:21Nicole Laino: But it has a job as a group.
- 10:23Nicole Laino: What are we doing?
- 10:24Nicole Laino: Not what am I doing?
- 10:27Nicole Laino: And if you're not a penta person, then you might be more of an I person.
- 10:30Nicole Laino: But that doesn't mean that you can't show up in some sort of other group dynamic.
- 10:35Nicole Laino: Remember, we have another one that we are going to talk about.
- 10:38Nicole Laino: Okay, now there is another type of energy dynamic called the wah.
- 10:46Nicole Laino: Wah is when we get 16 people or more.
- 10:48Nicole Laino: So you might say what happens between six and six between that going beyond the penta at the six person to 16?
- 10:55Nicole Laino: Well, they're just lots of pentas.
- 10:57Nicole Laino: Then if you have a group of all of those people, they're going to break up into little pentas.
- 11:01Nicole Laino: And that's how it always works.
- 11:03Nicole Laino: But a wa is like, this is where we're talking about herd mentality, group.
- 11:09Nicole Laino: Think what happens and what's at the heart of particularly this one.
- 11:16Nicole Laino: The wa has a different mission.
- 11:20Nicole Laino: The wa is to kind of.
- 11:22Nicole Laino: It's like a takeover mechanism.
- 11:24Nicole Laino: It is tribes.
- 11:25Nicole Laino: It is Republicans and Democrats.
- 11:29Nicole Laino: Those are WAHs.
- 11:30Nicole Laino: MAGA is a WA.
- 11:33Nicole Laino: When you go to a concert, I'm a big concert fan.
- 11:37Nicole Laino: That's a wah.
- 11:37Nicole Laino: The group that's standing there now, that's a wah.
- 11:40Nicole Laino: Now I'm.
- 11:40Nicole Laino: For those of you who listen to the show you might have heard me talk about.
- 11:43Nicole Laino: I'm.
- 11:44Nicole Laino: I've been a lifelong fan of the band YouTube.
- 11:46Nicole Laino: That has been my favorite band since I was like 8 years old and I love them dearly.
- 11:51Nicole Laino: There is a whole community of you two lovers out there.
- 11:58Nicole Laino: I'm in Facebook groups for it.
- 12:00Nicole Laino: My sister in law is a big Fish fan.
- 12:02Nicole Laino: Like, that's even crazier.
- 12:04Nicole Laino: That's a wa, right?
- 12:06Nicole Laino: And the way that a WA works is that when you come together, when I go to a YouTube show, I am not me.
- 12:13Nicole Laino: My worries go away.
- 12:15Nicole Laino: Like, that is a high vibe WA for me.
- 12:17Nicole Laino: So when I walk into and my husband always jokes, he's like, this is your happy place.
- 12:22Nicole Laino: Like, you turn into a different person when you are here.
- 12:25Nicole Laino: I love going to concerts.
- 12:26Nicole Laino: My husband and I went to see Radiohead in Copenhagen, which was amazing.
- 12:30Nicole Laino: And we do this type of stuff.
- 12:32Nicole Laino: Like I'll fly eight hours to go see a two hour show.
- 12:35Nicole Laino: If it's that good.
- 12:37Nicole Laino: I love them.
- 12:38Nicole Laino: But there's something that U2 does to me, something that Radiohead does to me, that is different than just going to see another show.
- 12:46Nicole Laino: So when I walk in there, he's like, yeah, you are like, I'm bouncing off the walls, I'm jumping up and down.
- 12:53Nicole Laino: I am screaming and laughing and singing.
- 12:56Nicole Laino: And it's like the greatest thing.
- 12:58Nicole Laino: And I'm high off of the energy because there is an energy dynamic happening in that arena, in that stadium or whatever it is that we are in, right?
- 13:07Nicole Laino: So that WA exists.
- 13:09Nicole Laino: How does the WA get turned?
- 13:12Nicole Laino: It's the front man, it's the band, it is the leader.
- 13:16Nicole Laino: That's the most important thing in the wa.
- 13:18Nicole Laino: Because the WA doesn't think.
- 13:20Nicole Laino: I'm not thinking when I'm at that concert.
- 13:22Nicole Laino: I'm just there and I'm kind of going with everything, right?
- 13:26Nicole Laino: This is where the group thing comes in.
- 13:29Nicole Laino: So when we're all high on that energy, we're not thinking.
- 13:33Nicole Laino: WA's don't have thoughts.
- 13:34Nicole Laino: It doesn't have the head center involved.
- 13:36Nicole Laino: It doesn't have the AJNA center involved.
- 13:39Nicole Laino: It has very different energy.
- 13:41Nicole Laino: And the way that WAZ work, the way that energy dynamics work in this big group think crowd dynamics is very different.
- 13:52Nicole Laino: So it's about the leader.
- 13:54Nicole Laino: When I studied this in one of my human design certifications, this one was more geared toward business.
- 14:02Nicole Laino: When we studied this, they made us read a book called the Crowd, which was written in 1929 by a German man.
- 14:12Nicole Laino: And that book talked about how to control crowds, how to lead movements.
- 14:21Nicole Laino: And I'm fairly convinced that every political strategist, certainly in the right wing movement has read this book.
- 14:32Nicole Laino: And I say that because they're very good at controlling crowds.
- 14:36Nicole Laino: Democrats are not great at controlling crowds.
- 14:38Nicole Laino: We're not great at starting movements.
- 14:40Nicole Laino: They're not great at galvanizing a group.
- 14:44Nicole Laino: And herding them toward anything.
- 14:47Nicole Laino: However, the right wing is very good at that.
- 14:50Nicole Laino: They are very good at messaging.
- 14:53Nicole Laino: They are very good.
- 14:54Nicole Laino: I've always said that they study marketing, not politics.
- 14:57Nicole Laino: And that is how you win elections, and that is how you win over crowds.
- 15:01Nicole Laino: And the way that they do that.
- 15:03Nicole Laino: So thesis that we all came to, so what they did was they gave us this book to read, and as were learning penta and wa, and they said we had a group discussion on it.
- 15:12Nicole Laino: And most people came to it and they were like, you know, what do you think?
- 15:15Nicole Laino: And people were just like, you know, we're fucked.
- 15:17Nicole Laino: Like, we're in trouble because it's so easy to control people.
- 15:20Nicole Laino: And this is where we're getting to the 2027 change and why human design is so important, why it is so important.
- 15:28Nicole Laino: I can hear Ra in my head from all the times I've heard him say, in 2027, it's going to be so important that you have human design because you're going to have to learn and know how to make decisions as yourself.
- 15:42Nicole Laino: Because.
- 15:43Nicole Laino: And really at the heart of it was the wa, and he hated the wa.
- 15:47Nicole Laino: Like, there's nothing we can do about it.
- 15:48Nicole Laino: We will never change this.
- 15:49Nicole Laino: This is just something that happens when people come together.
- 15:53Nicole Laino: We can't change it.
- 15:55Nicole Laino: So my own thesis on this, after commiserating with everybody in my group who was saying we're all doomed, because it's about when you can mute the mind and you harness energy and you harness anger, which is really what, you know, was.
- 16:12Nicole Laino: Can be used for good or for bad.
- 16:14Nicole Laino: And so my own personal thesis on this was, yes, we have to make decisions for ourselves.
- 16:20Nicole Laino: And the leaders matter more than anything because it's the leader that becomes the mind, that becomes the head that tells everybody what to believe.
- 16:29Nicole Laino: And when you are part of that tribalism, when you are part of that group energy dynamic, that group think, your mind is quiet in there.
- 16:38Nicole Laino: Suddenly you stop having your own thoughts.
- 16:41Nicole Laino: You start adopting the ones that were given to you because what they've done is a good functioning wa and is harnessing your energy, is harnessing your emotions, is shifting your emotions to an emotional and an ego place.
- 16:53Nicole Laino: And if you can make people angry, which was sort of thesis of this crowd book was, if you can make people angry and you can control the emotion, then you can turn them wherever you want.
- 17:04Nicole Laino: So some people were like, we're doomed.
- 17:05Nicole Laino: We're, there's no surviving this.
- 17:07Nicole Laino: This is the end.
- 17:08Nicole Laino: But of course, this book was written in 1929 prior to the Nazis.
- 17:13Nicole Laino: But it's or right during Nazi movement.
- 17:16Nicole Laino: The Nazis were certainly a wa with a dangerous figurehead.
- 17:21Nicole Laino: Now is Bono a dangerous figurehead when he's standing on a stage singing to us?
- 17:27Nicole Laino: No, not all wahs are bad.
- 17:29Nicole Laino: It's who's at the helm and what are they telling everybody to believe, do or feel.
- 17:35Nicole Laino: That is the key.
- 17:37Nicole Laino: If you're not making decisions as yourself, then you are more susceptible to these energy dynamics because they're happening and we don't know it.
- 17:45Nicole Laino: We've been a part of wahs and pentas and all of these things since the beginning of our days.
- 17:50Nicole Laino: We always have.
- 17:51Nicole Laino: We were dropped into one instantly.
- 17:53Nicole Laino: When you had a family, you were in appendix.
- 17:55Nicole Laino: Now I look at like, if you look at that, maybe you had a family of four kids.
- 17:59Nicole Laino: So if there's two parents and four kids, then that's six.
- 18:03Nicole Laino: So you'll notice that in a family like that, there might be one person that trails off where there's five people in the room.
- 18:08Nicole Laino: Or they might pair off where there's like a parent with one child and the other parent is kind of with the others.
- 18:13Nicole Laino: It's never all six of them engaged together necessarily, unless they're like trapped in a car.
- 18:21Nicole Laino: And even if that's the case, there's probably one person at least that's not engaged with the group.
- 18:26Nicole Laino: They naturally do these things.
- 18:28Nicole Laino: Go watch it.
- 18:28Nicole Laino: Go observe this in your own life.
- 18:31Nicole Laino: But there are certain people.
- 18:33Nicole Laino: So just like there are penta people, there are WA people.
- 18:35Nicole Laino: There are people who show up very strongly in large groups in big organizations.
- 18:43Nicole Laino: So I look at my time in corporate wa, I was very much a believer and I loved my company.
- 18:50Nicole Laino: And I showed up to work so early every day.
- 18:52Nicole Laino: I worked 12 hour shifts.
- 18:54Nicole Laino: And I showed up and I muscled for it and I hustled for it.
- 18:58Nicole Laino: And I believed in the mission and I had the whole thing going till I didn't.
- 19:02Nicole Laino: Until I couldn't take it anymore.
- 19:04Nicole Laino: I had to break in order for that to happen.
- 19:08Nicole Laino: But that was exactly a WA energy dynamic.
- 19:13Nicole Laino: I got swept up in being a Goldman Sachs employee.
- 19:18Nicole Laino: I was very into it for quite some time.
- 19:20Nicole Laino: I was like, this is the greatest.
- 19:22Nicole Laino: I was proud to have my badge walking in the building.
- 19:25Nicole Laino: Brand new building was so cool and like I was totally in it.
- 19:29Nicole Laino: I believed good people worked there, and they did.
- 19:31Nicole Laino: I worked with really amazing people.
- 19:33Nicole Laino: It ran me into the ground, which is what jobs like that do.
- 19:37Nicole Laino: But I have honestly mostly nothing but good things to say about that company.
- 19:42Nicole Laino: And the way that I was treated there.
- 19:43Nicole Laino: And it wasn't perfect, but it was a great experience.
- 19:47Nicole Laino: And truly some of the most amazing people I've ever known in my life I met in that building.
- 19:52Nicole Laino: It's amazing.
- 19:53Nicole Laino: Super smart people, really giving people.
- 19:56Nicole Laino: It's not what everybody makes it out to be.
- 19:58Nicole Laino: But still a Wah.
- 19:59Nicole Laino: Again, not all Wahs are bad.
- 20:02Nicole Laino: It's about the leadership.
- 20:03Nicole Laino: It's about what are they doing with that power.
- 20:06Nicole Laino: And some people have strong Wah energy.
- 20:09Nicole Laino: I do.
- 20:10Nicole Laino: We are more susceptible.
- 20:12Nicole Laino: We are good food for the WA because we're believers.
- 20:16Nicole Laino: We are the ones who get sucked into that.
- 20:17Nicole Laino: My husband works for a big company.
- 20:19Nicole Laino: Not sucked into it at all.
- 20:20Nicole Laino: Not a Wah person.
- 20:22Nicole Laino: He's purely individual.
- 20:24Nicole Laino: So that is just a very individual thing for him.
- 20:26Nicole Laino: But it's also.
- 20:27Nicole Laino: It's just like he's not good food for the wa.
- 20:29Nicole Laino: They don't eat him up like they ate me up.
- 20:32Nicole Laino: I had to break the spell.
- 20:34Nicole Laino: So some of us are.
- 20:35Nicole Laino: We can really shine in that environment.
- 20:38Nicole Laino: I did.
- 20:39Nicole Laino: I was a superstar there.
- 20:41Nicole Laino: I could have stayed there probably and had a career for the rest of my life.
- 20:45Nicole Laino: And I would have been very tired, but I would have been promoted.
- 20:48Nicole Laino: I would have been paid a lot of money.
- 20:49Nicole Laino: Like, I did really well there.
- 20:52Nicole Laino: And I shined.
- 20:53Nicole Laino: Like, people noticed me.
- 20:55Nicole Laino: Senior people knew who I was.
- 20:57Nicole Laino: I was respected there.
- 20:58Nicole Laino: I rose there.
- 21:00Nicole Laino: Like I said, I made a lot of friends there.
- 21:01Nicole Laino: I shined in that environment.
- 21:04Nicole Laino: But there's that.
- 21:05Nicole Laino: And then there's also.
- 21:06Nicole Laino: You can get really swallowed up by it too.
- 21:09Nicole Laino: Again, why is it so important for us to be ourselves, to be tuned into our own design, to our own intuition, to look inside for the answer, not outside for the answer.
- 21:20Nicole Laino: Because for those of us who are susceptible to it, we will accept the answer that the WA is giving us, that the group energy dynamic, that the leader of that group or the leaders within that group.
- 21:34Nicole Laino: So it isn't just the CEO of the company.
- 21:37Nicole Laino: It's my manager and my manager's manager.
- 21:40Nicole Laino: And these people, like where you idolize these people, where it becomes this, like, very hierarchical thing.
- 21:44Nicole Laino: The WA is hierarchical.
- 21:46Nicole Laino: It is not a flat organization.
- 21:48Nicole Laino: It might tell you that.
- 21:50Nicole Laino: But there is a clear leader and clear leaders and people above you, and you're above other people.
- 21:56Nicole Laino: That is what it is now.
- 21:59Nicole Laino: That is why this is so important to me.
- 22:03Nicole Laino: That is why I see human design not just as another personal development tool.
- 22:09Nicole Laino: You'll never see the world the same again.
- 22:12Nicole Laino: After understanding the penta and the wa, you will see it everywhere.
- 22:15Nicole Laino: You will see how people are herded in directions.
- 22:19Nicole Laino: You will see why it's not all their fault.
- 22:22Nicole Laino: Because there are some people.
- 22:23Nicole Laino: I will say this.
- 22:24Nicole Laino: Donald Trump has so many WA channels.
- 22:27Nicole Laino: He has very strong WA energy.
- 22:30Nicole Laino: So that, like, it's no secret on this show.
- 22:33Nicole Laino: I don't like the man.
- 22:34Nicole Laino: I think he's very dangerous.
- 22:36Nicole Laino: I think he has nothing but selfish intent for pretty much everything that he does and is only concerned with enriching himself.
- 22:44Nicole Laino: You can disagree with that's fine.
- 22:47Nicole Laino: I don't look down on people for what they believe or who they follow, but I find him to be a dangerous person.
- 22:54Nicole Laino: And I don't think that's political.
- 22:55Nicole Laino: That is very personal to him.
- 22:57Nicole Laino: This is not about Republicans.
- 22:59Nicole Laino: This is not about conservatives.
- 23:00Nicole Laino: This is about that man.
- 23:02Nicole Laino: And he is a very powerful.
- 23:06Nicole Laino: I listen to him sometimes and I'm like, how does anybody believe this?
- 23:09Nicole Laino: He's such a liar.
- 23:10Nicole Laino: I've been watching Donald Trump since I was a child because I grew up in New York, and he was a liar then.
- 23:17Nicole Laino: And I knew people who knew him, and they were like, yeah, he's a total con man, but he seemed harmless back then because he was just cheating on his wives and going bankrupt and putting up casinos.
- 23:26Nicole Laino: Nobody really cared.
- 23:28Nicole Laino: He didn't have the fate of the world in his hands.
- 23:31Nicole Laino: Now it's.
- 23:31Nicole Laino: There's different stakes, but I'll see that.
- 23:34Nicole Laino: And I'm like, how do people believe this?
- 23:35Nicole Laino: He's so clearly a liar.
- 23:37Nicole Laino: And if you look at the facts, throughout the ages through his life, he's just lied the entire time.
- 23:46Nicole Laino: Like, how can you trust this man?
- 23:48Nicole Laino: And part of it is, you know, there's this question of, like, how is it that people are so loyal despite all of these things that he's done, that he gave a trillion dollar tax cut to wealthy people and the middle class is still struggling.
- 24:01Nicole Laino: Why is it that the middle class is still.
- 24:02Nicole Laino: Still supporting that?
- 24:04Nicole Laino: Because there is a strong movement that they have built that people identify with that so much that they cannot detach from it.
- 24:13Nicole Laino: And that's not anybody's fault, necessarily.
- 24:17Nicole Laino: These are energetics at.
- 24:20Nicole Laino: At play.
- 24:21Nicole Laino: But is it our responsibility to be responsible for ourselves?
- 24:24Nicole Laino: And that's what human design can do.
- 24:25Nicole Laino: It can put you back in the driver's seat of your own life.
- 24:30Nicole Laino: So it doesn't have to be the MAGA movement.
- 24:32Nicole Laino: It could be any movement.
- 24:33Nicole Laino: It could be the liberal movement, whatever.
- 24:35Nicole Laino: To be able to truly stand there as yourself and as we go into the cross of the sleeping Phoenix, where individuality is going to rule.
- 24:44Nicole Laino: Where suddenly, like these systems that were saving us, those systems that crumble, that have safeguards, we're seeing it already.
- 24:52Nicole Laino: Laws are being walked on systems that were supposed to keep us safe, not work.
- 24:58Nicole Laino: We can go to war without getting approval.
- 25:00Nicole Laino: All of these things, right?
- 25:02Nicole Laino: The individual is going to have to look out for themselves.
- 25:05Nicole Laino: Well, then you better not be caught up unconsciously in these energy dynamics.
- 25:11Nicole Laino: Right?
- 25:12Nicole Laino: It should be choices.
- 25:13Nicole Laino: If you follow something, it should be your choice.
- 25:15Nicole Laino: It shouldn't because somebody position themselves at the head of a movement that you've gotten caught up in.
- 25:22Nicole Laino: It does not mean that because you got swept up in the current that you cannot swim to shore and walk your own path.
- 25:31Nicole Laino: That's what human design allows you to do.
- 25:33Nicole Laino: Whatever that is, I'm not passing judgment, but whatever you feel like you maybe are unconsciously a part of human design is what can bring you back to making conscious choices for yourself.
- 25:45Nicole Laino: Okay, I think we've talked enough about this stuff.
- 25:47Nicole Laino: I hope that you found this interesting.
- 25:49Nicole Laino: I hope that this like you look around and you start to see the dynamics within your family, about how the penta functions.
- 25:57Nicole Laino: How when you go to work, maybe you are on a team.
- 26:00Nicole Laino: How does that function?
- 26:02Nicole Laino: Can you look at group dynamics and see them without judging them?
- 26:07Nicole Laino: Just look at them and just observe it.
- 26:09Nicole Laino: Because that's really what this is about.
- 26:10Nicole Laino: And I hope that comes across.
- 26:12Nicole Laino: It's not about judging.
- 26:14Nicole Laino: It's about looking at them and just seeing the dynamic at play and being aware of it.
- 26:19Nicole Laino: It all starts with awareness.
- 26:20Nicole Laino: And then when you become aware of it, then you can start to become aware of if you're in it.
- 26:25Nicole Laino: This is how we break the spell.
- 26:27Nicole Laino: This is how we come out of the program.
- 26:29Nicole Laino: Because this is what Ra always talked about.
- 26:32Nicole Laino: Energy dynamics are core to the program.
- 26:35Nicole Laino: We're all in the program.
- 26:36Nicole Laino: We're in the program of the transits.
- 26:38Nicole Laino: So we're all under that.
- 26:40Nicole Laino: We're in the program of our conditioning.
- 26:42Nicole Laino: We're in the program of these group energy dynamics.
- 26:45Nicole Laino: We're in the program of our family.
- 26:47Nicole Laino: So when you moved out of your family's house, you probably felt very different.
- 26:49Nicole Laino: You probably felt a big shift because you weren't constantly put into this same group dynamic over and over again.
- 26:57Nicole Laino: And the penta can tell you where was this family, maybe off balance, where was.
- 27:02Nicole Laino: There may be something that was not causing them to move forward in harmony.
- 27:08Nicole Laino: There can be pieces missing from a penta.
- 27:11Nicole Laino: And when they're missing, it leaves the penta not functioning as it should.
- 27:16Nicole Laino: And it can tell you something about why a family struggles and why they struggle in a certain way.
- 27:21Nicole Laino: And then you can see the wa dynamics and you can see maybe where you've gotten swept up in things before.
- 27:27Nicole Laino: Notice when you go to a big group event and you're there, how you feel.
- 27:31Nicole Laino: I'm going to a retreat very soon and when I go to the retreat, there's going to be pentas and I don't know how many people are going to be there.
- 27:39Nicole Laino: Maybe it'll be a wah, I don't know.
- 27:40Nicole Laino: But I'll go and I will start to.
- 27:42Nicole Laino: I'm going to feel into that and I'm going to be conscious of it and I'll be me throughout all of it.
- 27:49Nicole Laino: And it doesn't mean that I can't have fun within it.
- 27:51Nicole Laino: It doesn't mean that I can't be part of the energy.
- 27:54Nicole Laino: It's just my choice.
- 27:55Nicole Laino: It'll be my choice.
- 27:56Nicole Laino: I'm not going to be just swept up in it and turned whichever way the leader of that particular group wants to turn the attention in the heads of people.
- 28:06Nicole Laino: Okay, so I hope you enjoyed this.
- 28:08Nicole Laino: I hope this was interesting for you.
