Emotional Wave & Emotional Authority - Human Design

How does an emotional being make decisions? Snapshots. They take snapshots of their authority over time. The truth is found when they have a consistent response throughout the highs and lows. When they reach emotional clarity on a decision. Mental Projectors do the same (but our internal process is much more involved than an emotional wave process. We sample all of the inner authorities as a part of our soundboarding process). Emotional clarity is found in stasis. Not in highs or lows. The stoics were right about a few things haha. Emotional beings have to accept that they cannot escape the emotional wave. It's built into their design. So whereas others feel the wave- whether in aura with an emo being or through transits/weather, emotional beings have to accept that they don't know their truth in the moment like a splenic being might. Emo beings are not designed to be existential or to "live in the now". Sure we all do live in the now. This moment is all we've got. But they will delude themselves (their actual truth) by making decisions in the moment. Emo beings cannot make spontaneous decisions. They need emotional clarity, which happens in stasis. Understanding why the high of an emotional wave is not the same as clarity or truth: An example of an emo being making a decision without riding the wave would be a woman who has sex with someone and decides after the fact that she didn't want to. She may be on an emotional high when she consents to having sex. In the heat of the moment she consents. She confuses emotional excitement (a high) with emotional clarity. She's mistaken in this example. And then, the emo being gets down on herself and beats herself up because she doesn't know why she entered so quickly. She will blame herself and/or the sexual partner. Didn't wait out the wave. This isn't always the case of course, but it gives you a solid understanding of the me-too movement (the false accusations that is). Thought there was truth in the now. Wanted to be a splenic being/spontaneous being. Programmed to be not-self. And then the not-self blames the other/the partner in this example for the emo being's incorrect decision-making. "YOU did this." Externalizing the upset. It's dangerous to engage sexually with an emotional being that doesn't understand their wave. Especially if you have a lot of openness, or are a projector, or a 5th line or 2nd line. You could catch blame for someone else's lack of awareness of the self. Sticky business in today's culture. That's all not even considering passenger consciousness, which makes this topic even more nuanced. Emo being, When in doubt, wait for clarity. This is how you'll find correctness with the other. -The Autodidact
