Despite the number of times that Ra Uru Hu pointed out that the Rave I Ching is a catalogue of homogenized Not-Self roles, and particularly the text associated with each of its 384 lines, it is evident that this is something that has yet to be fully assimilated, even by those who have studied the Human Design System in considerable depth.
 
What this means is that the Rave I Ching is, in reality, a catalogue of human roles that become reduced to mere characters whenever the human beings who embody them express those roles through the lens of normality, thereby serving little more than the continuity of the evolutionary program while burning in the flames of their own personal vanity.
 
Nobody ignores the fact that the world of the Not-Self is nothing more than an absurd movie of “good and bad,” “winners and losers,” “men and women,” which has remained on the screen since time immemorial and is faithfully reproduced by every new generation of human beings that comes to lend its shoulder to the great wheel of the evolution of life forms, amongst which we humans tend to imagine ourselves as the protagonists.
 
For a long time I had wanted to immerse myself in each of the 384 lines of the Rave I Ching and allow myself to share with others the flow of my own understanding in relation to it. To do so, I considered different approaches and formats. Eventually, I was able to structure a model that does justice to the enormous role that the Rave I Ching plays in our process of individual differentiation, while simultaneously demonstrating in an overwhelmingly logical manner what Ra sought to make clear from the very beginning — and what, theoretically, we all already knew.
 
To begin, I will explain the organizational values of the lines that belong to the channels responsible for sustaining the WA, the transauric entity that governs the life of the larger social group. Starting here will allow us to understand the hierarchical structures that have governed our social life and collective consciousness since the beginning of time. Upon the foundation of the 72 lines contained within these 12 hexagrams rests the backbone of every hierarchical institution that has sustained the history of human civilization.
 
No civilization has ever been created for the individual. Every civilization has been created to serve the family as the minimum social unit, within which the group dynamics of closely related human beings are established. During the first seven years of life, the family is the social agent that conditions us most deeply, sufficiently at least to teach us that failing to behave “normally” in the world may carry social consequences that are only partially predictable.
 
For this reason, I will then move on to the study of the 72 lines contained within the 12 hexagrams that form the six channels of the PENTA, the second transauric entity responsible for shaping the dynamics of the smaller social group. The PENTA is always striving to maintain and improve the status quo of its own group — the family — in relation to the larger social group represented by the WA. The analysis of these lines leads us directly to the mechanisms responsible for homogenization — and therefore dehumanization — at the foundation of the social consciousness that is instilled in us from our earliest childhood. Here we will examine the various agencies through which individual consciousness is morally packaged in the name of the father, the son, or the holy spirit before reaching seven years of age.
 
From there, I will turn to the 36 lines of the three Format Channels, whose function marks a profound distinction within the operation of the larger circuits. As generated channels, they serve as an example to all others, both in their management of collective frustration and in the individual satisfaction that becomes possible once they cease to live under the pressure of the social group into which they were born and whose collective identification they must eventually transcend.
 
Finally, we will devote the remainder of our time to studying the rest of the lines of the Rave I Ching through the various streams of consciousness present within the six basic circuits. Here we will see how all the channels belonging to a given circuit submit themselves — voluntarily and consciously — to the criteria and power of the WA channel, whose organizational capacity has dominated both their spirit and their form since the dawn of time.
 
Within this context, the lines belonging to the streams of consciousness express themselves as either conservative or progressive according to something that updates itself on the surface while remaining dominated by an entirely immovable force at a deeper social level. In other words, these are the lines that make everything change so that everything may remain exactly as it has always been. These lines serve the WA element as its power base, committed to supporting a form of power that is necessarily homogenized and hierarchical.
 
Ultimately, what we will encounter is an archetypal social landscape that perfectly illustrates the nature of our material world, together with all the suffering generated by its injustice toward the rights of the individual, which are systematically trampled upon. And beneath it all, a single underlying cause: the ignorance through which human beings identify with half-truths in order to avoid feeling exposed before the mystery that stands as the only absolute.
