DBAY (Doing Business as Yourself) is a Planet Andrea breakout room for people who are into living their Human Design experiment who also want to explore possibilities for how to navigate that in a world that maybe isn't ready for you to be that.
I (Andrea) & whoever else steps through this portal are here to brainstorm that w/you & guide you on the tech bits.
Primary Goal: Success, Satisfaction, Peace &/or Delight
Hiya -
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods :)
It's so interesting. As I began to poke my head up and look around to see what sort of content there already is about the Gates of Fear -
(ie. basically a quick google search for images, videos and what's on the top of searches), I'm seeing that the first few click bring me to "the Gates of Fear" this and that .... but they only include the Gates of the Spleen.
How completely curious and unexpected!
Did you know? The spleen is not the whole story?
There are actually THREE centers in the Human Design Body Graph with Fear Gates associated - all 3 of the Awareness Centers.
And that each of those three centers has it's own 'Fear'?
> The Spleen - Physical Fear
> The Ajna - Mental Fears
> The Solar Plexus - Emotional Fears
And that each of the Gates on those Centers also has its own Fear keynote theme - all 20 of them!
Maybe someone will have that graphic with the awareness centers and their Fear Gate themes handy and I can include it whenever you reply to this (I can't seem to find it atm - even on a google search ... again - so fascinating to me!)
Now here's a fun side detail - my HD Motivation (that place where our Outer Authority hails from) happens to be .... drumroll .... Fear :)
So while this might seem like a funny topic to get excited about - it's so much what I'm wired for.
Not to 'be' in Fear but - in fact - the exact opposite.
Fear Motivation's 'goal' if that's possible to have - is to get to the bottom of things and face them, details in hand, with awareness - so that the actual fears we're experiencing can be relieved -
And THAT is 100% my jam.
The Notself in general offers so much opportunity for this awareness - and these Gates in particular - have what could be called their own Notself flavors.
Really what I find is that, wherever we're wired like this IS how we're wired ... there is no escaping that ...
BUT, being able to begin to recognize the mechanics ... AS mechanics - can take the air out of the fire that our Mind otherwise can (and does) use to make mischief .... and ultimately - can easily drive incorrect decisions.
Basically, leaving our Personal Authority no chance in heck to be at the helm.
Wanna explore that together
Here's what's cooking -
At 1pm Eastern on Wednesday (yes, 2 days from now), the very first Dbay Mini Playshop is going to be happening.

It's technically an add-on zoom session for the 'Seeing the Notself' 4 Part Conversation series that's just wrapped up (it's been unfolding over the last few months).
If that sounds interesting and you'd like to know more, it's now recorded and in the member area vault - I have the details for that in a Google doc. You can check that out here -

So ...
Wanna come play?
Let's see what your Inner Authority has to say :)
And if it's a Yes!, I'll see you there.
Speak soon,

I dropped this into Planet Andrea Locals by mistake yesterday- it might be too weird for in here too - if I ever do an actual podcast for this,, might have to restart the numbers higher 😂
Anyway, here’s me waking up and talking mostly to myself yesterday morning 😜🙃
Maybe there’s a nugget or two 🤷🏻♀️ no promises though :)
AWA aka ‘Art With Andrea’, is one of the umbrella ideas I’m floating around with atm that cropped up as I’ve been going through the subscription box contemplation process. Even bought the domain.
This morning (as happens many mornings), I woke up with what felt like crystal clarity around how to possibly move forward with, I guess is, a Collective application (two of my channels are Collective - the conscious ones, number 3 is Tribal) of sharing the stuff that I do/ don’t do - today’s topic was art - and the way that I think about all that.
So that’s what this audio is about. The dots that connected in my head this morning in that ...
Thought this thread was fascinating - here’s the original comment thread:

While the email is just a waste of everyone’s time, the difference in approaches and having HD awareness now …
I’m reading the comments with that filter … undefined ego, defined ego (or healthy undefined ego), undefined solar plexus — are the top three that feel glaring to me.
Money is such an easy place to notice these things.
My guess is that the writer of the email is undefined ego and defined solar plexus… oh and also a projector 🤭
You have any takeaways?
Of course, I would do best to sleep on making any moves first if it were sent to me - because emotional Authority 🤓
This dude helped form part of my copywriting foundation both directly and through other people I learned from who learned from him -
“How can a letter riddled with typos make $24,000 from one Facebook post?
So one time Frank Kern posted to his Facebook that my Book of Secrets sales page (new at the time) was the best he'd read in a long, long time.
#truestory
Yet, it was riddled with typos. OMG his Facebook blew up with people denouncing the letter. Whilst it sold $24,000 from his post, best as I can recall.
My Amazing Formula sales letter had typos I didn't fix for 3 years. I don't have all the numbers. But taking into account the back end, I'd imagine it sold a million or close to it in that time period.
My rule of thumb is that if it's raining money, don't touch it. You screw more stuff up by "fixing it" than you do leaving it alone.
My wife informs me the same rule of thumb doesn't apply round the house!
I'm not advocating typos. I advocate speed over perfection.
So yesterday an old friend made a comment that my post couldn't have been made by a.i.
Because. of. ...
Hahahaha, I just spotted this question in an art group and thought it was so appropriate for understanding ‘value’ at a foundation level.
I run into so many people who would happily eat up my day and be ever so thankful once they’re done. 🙄
Shocker they often also don’t consider/value their own time and energy either.
Of course there’s other important value to consider beyond this trading time thing … :)
The original post is in the screenshot below 👇🏽
And here’s one commenter - sounds like a bitter projector 😂
I asked ChatGPT for some tactful responses, and then I asked, "Now make them snarky." The snarky responses are much more fun, so I thought I'd share them here. Lol!
"Wow, it’s such an honor to be chosen as your free labor! Sadly, my bills don’t have the same level of admiration for me, so I’ll need to charge my regular rates."
"Oh, sure! Let me just check if the gas station will fill my tank for free because we’re such good friends. Spoiler ...
