100 Human Figure Drawing Homework - 002: "Water" - Pushing People Around Them to Search for Truth

The protagonist of this story is a "Reflector", who is part of a small group of people that are like "water" - there is no defined energy center on their chart.

Some online videos have described Reflectors as empty vessels that can hold all kinds of things. However, it is only after they have taken in other things that they can discover what does not fit them. Personally, I feel that they are more like water than vessels, because Reflectors are a mirror that reflects the surrounding environment, and they are "Moon people". Every day they are affected by the position of the moon and are put into different vessels many times. When other people's energy comes in, immature Reflectors find it difficult to distinguish between their own energy and someone else's. However, when Reflectors mature, they can either blend with the energy they like or withdraw at any time to achieve a clear effect, presenting the truth by separating the wheat from the chaff.

I believe that the proportion of the nine energy centers is a fair energy flow system. The more defined areas in a person's design, the more channels are formed, and the energy is more stable. In the early years, it is easier to discover oneself and develop a set of operating modes that are suitable for oneself. However, it is relatively less flexible, and it is more difficult to change existing patterns. On the other hand, the more open energy centers a person has, the easier they are to be constrained by others in the early years. However, relatively speaking, they are more flexible, with less resistance to change, and have greater room for progress. Reflectors have all nine energy centers open, and their breakthrough development after understanding themselves is also quite impressive.

Key Point 1: Lunar Cycle

As the reflector does not have a reliable and stable inner authority, the strategy is to wait for 28 days and let the moon's cyclic influence affect them once before making any major decisions. Therefore, below is a complete lunar cycle and how it affects the reflector. The daily flow of other planets during this period will also be compared to the reflector's chart. (The moon's effect is theoretically greater than other planets)

Reference period: April 1, 2023 to May 3, 2023

During a lunar cycle, the reflector becomes 15 projectors, 1 reflector, and 3 generators.

Reflectors are like water, they can look at things from different angles and with different perspectives every day, making them more objective. In their earlier years, they may have spent more time chasing after people around them, trying to share the same hobbies and interests. However, reflectors also have their own aura, and every time they encounter different people and things, they will first block, then filter, and then choose some things to reflect back. As their sacral center is always open, socializing means they have to constantly block, filter, and reflect energy, which can make them particularly tired. When they are with defined people in their sacral center, they can work with full energy by leveraging other people's energy. But when they return home, they may feel extra tired due to physical exhaustion. Therefore, they need a lot of alone time to clear the impact of other people's energy.

This is also why many people like to talk to reflectors. First, they have strong empathy, and second, people can see themselves in reflectors. The resonance between people is the foundation of relationships, and reflectors naturally attract people around them. However, reflectors sometimes feel like they don't fit in or feel like no one understands them. This is mostly because they want to fix themselves in a certain framework or mode, and feel that they "must" have a stable operating mode or firm position. However, the best place for reflectors to use their talents is in the core of the right group, because when reflectors stay in an environment for a long time, they will naturally blend in. They have extremely high observation and insight, and can even predict various possibilities. They can learn from others and see others' potential, but their goal is not to become others, to manage others, or to initiate anything. What reflectors need to do is to accept the surprises that others bring to their lives with an open attitude.

In any relationship, reflectors can clearly feel and reflect the other person's emotions. They will bring out the subtle feelings, whether good or bad. Reflectors should not identify themselves with these emotional feelings, or judge themselves. Instead, they should be aware that these are only reflections from others, and not consider the other person's feelings as part of their own. This is the most important life lesson for reflectors to learn. If reflectors are invited, or want to start a new relationship, they should spend time discussing the pros and cons of different aspects with different people. Of course, not every important decision in life can wait for 28 days, but considering for a longer time is better for reflectors. Moreover, when the decision is more significant, especially when it involves investment or financial considerations, too hasty invitations may be fundamentally incompatible with reflectors.

Mature reflectors can distinguish which energy is valuable to themselves, have their own principles, and are not easily influenced. They are sensitive and changeable, and may often switch between different circles of friends. However, having a stable and comfortable circle of friends is very important for reflectors, because this can enable them to play a stable role. Moreover, reflectors in the core of a team can better use their talents. For example, for a reflector with a 4/6 profile like 002, his influence lies in the group he is familiar with. If he is not in the core of the group, nobody will listen to him, and naturally, he will not be able to maximize the potential he sees in everyone, which is the most disappointing result for him.

Key Point 2: The four gates of the Incarnation Cross are all located in the collective circuitry

Everyone is restricted by the environment and the energy of others. Although these energies are unstable, they can be used by Reflectors to gain tendencies through experience. Sometimes they can even use them as advantages:

During most of the time when they are restricted, sharing through invitation is their almost driving obligation. For them, they need to tell you what they are thinking, what they have experienced, whether their judgments are valuable, and so on. They always hope to quickly share opinions, difficulties, solutions, criticisms, expectations, fantasies, creations, their breakthrough discoveries, etc., everything that is non-personal. Their social orientation is objective, non-personal, and not necessarily mutually beneficial. They summarize criteria and find past meanings through abstract methods in their experiences, and try to predict the future through understanding, constantly balancing the past and the future to bring stability. When they wait for someone to ask, they can correctly share the theories derived from their experimental logic and the methods and unexpected things they desire based on experience. Interestingly, their rational and emotional potential are both equally important, and in terms of senses, they tend to be visually dominant.

Their Incarnation Cross is the 2nd conscious right angle cross, meaning that as long as they fully do their best, they can live out their life mission. Their mission is to explore what we came into this world to do and try to discover the meaning of all things. As a Reflector, this cross may bring out more observation for them. They can completely integrate with the environment and even withdraw without leaving a trace, triggering others to question and find ways to expand their understanding of life. They are an ideal witness. Through observation of the ever-changing energy of concepts, thoughts, emotions, desires, etc. around them, they can know which people, things, and objects will provide valuable experiences.

Key Point Three: Completely Open Energy Centers

Reflectors are configured to have all nine energy centers open, which means they can act as "energy observers". However, the 002 reflector has three energy centers that are completely open, meaning that there are no sleep gates in these three centers. When energy flows into these centers (i.e. when others or the environment exert influence), there are no gates to filter the incoming energy, making it difficult to recognize. Completely open energy centers may bring confusion and pressure:

• Completely open Ajna Center

  • Unsure of what to think

  • Unable to explain ideas or turn them into concepts

  • No fixed and reliable beliefs to rely on

  • May feel helpless and anxious because of the perceived futility of thinking

  • Can be easily led astray by subjective thoughts, replacing their own authority

  • Can derive pleasure from various thoughts, theories, opinions, and concepts

  • Will not hold onto any ideas

  • Will not be stuck in specific thought patterns

  • Can easily distinguish good concepts and ideas

  • Can help others see how their minds lure them away from their true path and mission

• Completely open G Center

  • Lacks a clear and distinct personality

  • Has no inherent sense of direction

  • Feels adrift and unstable

  • Always hopes that others will show them how things should be done or provide guidance

  • Easily manipulated, giving away their authority to others

  • Can have rich experiences if they fully embrace their openness

  • Others can benefit from the wisdom they accumulate

• Completely open Heart Center

  • Unable to grasp their own value accurately

  • Unclear how to measure or obtain value

  • Feels easily replaceable

  • Underestimates or overestimates their influence on others

  • Swings between fluctuating self-esteem

  • Lingering sense of powerlessness

  • Easily makes promises to themselves that they cannot keep or that are unnecessary

  • Can easily distinguish whether someone's words are reliable or not

  • Has wisdom on how to use material resources, such as money and personal power

Key point four: Proportions of External Constraints

Here I would like to introduce a theory that although reflectors do not need to impose any definition on themselves, there must be some regularity in these external "constraints." Therefore, I will describe the population proportions of each defined energy center along with their constraints to help them understand whether they are more familiar with the constraints of energy centers with higher population proportions:

Throat Center - Expression and Manifestation (approximately 71% of the population is defined)

The healthy judgment of an undefined throat center towards non-self behavior is: Am I trying to seek attention?

There are four sleeping gates in his throat center, and 71% of the world's population has a defined throat center. Therefore, his throat center is likely to be constrained for a long time, and he may believe that his voice is just like this. In this "self-perceived voice," three of the dormant gates are at the conscious level, which he may be more familiar with. However, remember that when he has these feelings, he is also constrained. He can always remind himself that he can be an observer, observing everything that happens, and then slowly choose people, things or experiences that are valuable to him.

The center of his throat is the area where he is most easily constrained, and he may think of his voice as follows:

Gate 23 - The Assimilation Gate is also located at the position of Mercury in the conscious mind, which governs communication and reinforces his perception of his own voice as having these characteristics. Gate 23 is a gate that expresses inner awareness through speech. It transcends morality, accepts diversity, and has the ability to tolerate spiritual dimensions. By saying "I know" with a unique voice, it brings the possibility of mutation to the world. Sometimes you may blurt out insights that attract the attention of others, regardless of good or bad. Therefore, it is important to wait for the right time, and when the right time comes, you can gain recognition by changing the status quo. In addition, be careful that due to the lack of Gate 43, you may feel anxious about not being able to express yourself clearly, which may lead to misunderstanding or rejection.

Gate 35 - The Progress Gate is located at the position of the conscious Sun, which is the most important position in his perception of himself and the defining position of his reincarnation cross. Gate 35 is a voice that says "I feel". It has an eager curiosity, the highest expectations, and a desire to experience various feelings. 35.4 is an impulsive position that believes in opportunity and desires progress at all costs. When pushing an experience without a clear goal, it is better to stay objective as an observer. His clear sharing can bring more possibilities, enough to transform humanity. In daily work, you can promote yourself by arousing expectations like a flea market, "accidentally" exposing the time and location of the next flash event, etc. Due to the lack of Gate 36, he is very likely to seek emotional impact desperately, just to avoid boredom, but he may struggle to find new experiences worth investing in.

Gate 33 is the Privacy Gate, which is the moment of detachment that emerges between old and new experiences. It is the reason why he needs to be alone. Behind the need for privacy in Gate 33 is the voice of "I remember", which brings learning from experience to society and reveals its true face. With time, his experience will mature and complete different cycles. When invited, these sharing will expand his influence outward. After each event, he should spend more time alone to reflect, identify mistakes, and record them. This can gradually accumulate experience and make him stronger. Due to the lack of Gate 13, he may not be able to grasp the correct timing to share what he has learned.

2. Sacral Center - Energy (approximately 70% of the population has definition)

The issue with an undefined Sacral Center in determining non-self behavior is: Do I know when to stop?

3. Root Center - Stress and Time Management (approximately 68% of the population has definition)

The issue with an undefined Root Center in determining non-self behavior is: Am I in a hurry to finish things to relieve stress?

4. Splenic Center - Survival Instinct and Emotional Skills (approximately 53% of the population has definition)

The issue with an undefined Emotional Center in determining non-self behavior is: Am I still holding onto people or things that are not good for me?

5. Ajna Center - Cognitive Intelligence (approximately 51% of the population has definition) (Fully open)

The issue with an undefined Ajna Center in determining non-self behavior is: Am I trying to convince everyone that I am certain?

6. Solar Plexus Center - Emotion and Intelligence (roughly 50% of the population has definition)

The unhealthy judgment of an undefined Solar Plexus center for non-self behavior is: am I avoiding conflict?

7. G Center - Connection with the Universe (roughly 46% of the population has definition) (Fully Open)

The unhealthy judgment of an undefined G center for non-self behavior is: am I searching for love and direction?

8. Heart Center - Drive as "Me" (roughly 35% of the population has definition) (Fully Open)

The unhealthy judgment of an undefined Heart center for non-self behavior is: do I think I need to prove something?

9. Head Center - "Knowing" and Thinking (roughly 30% of the population has definition)

The unhealthy judgment of an undefined Head center for non-self behavior is: am I trying to answer everyone else's questions?
