Splenic authority is not a simple thing. For example I'm somebody who has a very complex design. The fact is that I operate out of a splenic authority. I have an open emotional system. I have an open Solar Plexus system.
Splenic authority is very complex in the sense that you have nothing to hold onto because of the nature of the Spleen. And it also means you have to be very connected to it. I had to make a lot of minor errors in my early years, really, a lot of minor errors. And what I mean by that is ignoring my Spleen, because the Spleen is very quiet, it's very quick, it's instantaneous, it simply delivers a tiny little piece of information, that's all it does, and then it doesn't come back. It doesn't repeat it. So if you don't pay attention to it, it gets you.
And often what happened to me in the early years of my own process is that I would be aware of it, but it would have no pull on me. I’d get that feeling, that typical splenic ―don't do this. And there would be momentum in whatever I was doing, Ego Manifestor, and I would quickly see the folly of that, very quickly. So it took a great deal of discipline to get to a point where my mind simply was totally out of the process and only when the mind is really totally out of the decision making process can you begin to just let your Spleen work.
So, splenic authority is not a simple thing. And in many ways it is much more difficult for males than it is for females. There is a tendency to be much more sensitive to the inner hunch, whatever you want to call it. Out of the Spleen comes very basic things, very basic instantaneous judgmentation, instantaneous instinct and intuition, all of this in the moment as a protective system.
And of course the difficult thing with the Spleen is that there's no understanding it. You don't understand the Spleen. You never get to understand the Spleen, you can't. You can't because it doesn't explain itself. It’s not the Ajna Center; it’s not evolved to lay out all these kinds of patterns or memories. It isn’t like that.
The whole thing about the Spleen is that it's this momentby-moment-bymoment- by-moment decision making process. That, this is good, this is not; this is good, this is not, basically those kinds of things are going on all the time splenically. To be splenic is to be fundamentally existential. This is where the world lives out. It’s something that over time people learnt about me, particularly those people around me a lot in my process. I would say something and nothing would happen with it, or there are all kinds of things about the Spleen where one moment it says something because in that moment it's correct, and 10 minutes later it's not correct and may never be correct again, and this is the Spleen.
And there's absolutely no way of controlling that; none whatsoever. It is the same thing with the Spleen in relationships. It’s why you have to be very grounded to have splenic authority, because at any given moment your Spleen is going to say ―yes or ―no to anyone in any situation. And you're not going to know why, because you can't.
It’s one of the things that I love so much about it is that it is so deeply, deeply mysterious. And when I say mysterious it's not like we cannot go in there and discern how all that functions and works, I do that. That’s not the point. I mean, it is mysterious in the sense that it doesn't share it with us. It’s not the mind or for that matter the emotions that you churned through the various places in the wave. The Spleen doesn't do that. It doesn't take you into its confidence. It doesn't say to you, look I'm processing this and I've decided—it doesn't do that. Not only that, but it doesn't tell you where its resources come from. Your mind always does, at least it tries to. Not your Spleen; your Spleen doesn't tell you where it got the information. It just simply gives you that one and only one notification. That’s it. And when I say notification it is a notification, because in fact, the Spleen is actually telling those of us who are splenic, telling us things all the time moment-bymoment- by-moment-by-moment, literally.
So, these specific notifications are like little slight highlights in this ongoing moment-bymoment-by-moment. This is the Spleen at work. And of course, what that does is that means that as a human being, that you have to see that your life is the now for you. It doesn't mean you can't plan. It doesn't mean that you can't have an enjoyment of the continuity from the past, but it does mean that if you're not paying attention in the now you’re going to have a lot of problems, because you will not hear your Spleen. And if you don't listen to your Spleen, you do get hurt. That’s why you're given a defined Spleen in the first place, is that you have to pay attention to your defense system.
So we have one tenth of humanity that has splenic authority; no Sacral, no emotions, but a defined Spleen. And of course, for them it means that these are beings that have to pay attention in the now. They just do. And this is the most difficult aspect for them. Obviously, entering into your Strategy and Authority as a Projector in this particular case, as for all Projectors, it’s a long process to be healed, a long process to cleanse out the conditioning that has been there for whatever, decades. It is quite a thing.
And of course for the Projector the road to healing is the root in learning. This is the way that a Projector heals themselves. They study and they learn and they master. And in that way they begin to grasp the way things work and slowly but surely their process is transformed. However, it is essential for this particular Projector to recognize the meaning of the existential. In other words, that for them the invitation is something that is dealt with in the moment, whether that is a life transforming decision, or the minor of the mundane life, whatever it may be, because this is what it is for them. And one of the things that I tell those that are splenic, those that are not rooted into the Sacral/emotional system is to really enjoy the fact that you can be clear in the moment, but only trust it in the moment. This is what’s so difficult. You can only trust it in the moment. That's the thing. That's the thing that it forces you to stay aware in the now, because when the Spleen says yes to something it is only saying yes to it in that moment, in those circumstances, in those conditions. And change any of the background, framework, and the possibility is that the answer is going to be different, so you can't trust it.
Anything my Spleen ever tells me about anyone or anything I only give value to it in the moment that I take it in, because there's nothing else I can do, because I've learned that it changes. And it does; conditions and circumstances change, particularly when dealing with people. After all, you’re dealing with the not-self all the time, most of us deal with the notself all the time. As a splenic being I have to rely on my Spleen to be able to recognize which not-self is reasonably healthy enough to deal with. I look at a design like this and it always comes down to the question of the discernment, the people that are going to be in your life, the people that are going to be filling up all that space. But nonetheless, splenic authority is something that is just there in a moment.
