I think of Hallie Parker and Annie James in 'The Parent Trap'.
FYI: Before you start reading you may want to familiarize yourself with some HD terminology. You can find a list of resources and more information about them in the navigation bar and below that will help explain the basics of these terms. Terms covered in this post include:
▶ GATES ▷ gate 25 ▷ gate 51
▶ CENTERS ▷ g center ▷ heart center
▶ CHANNELS ▷ the channel of initiation
▶ PROFILES ▷ 3/5 the great experimenter
I also create my own terms to help me better understand my chart. You can find those in the footer of the blog website.
There’s a lot to remember when it comes to Human Design. Somehow, when I’m reviewing my Body Graph, analogies often present themselves to me help me to better understand the different parts of my own chart. This seems to be common among readers in the field, so I think I’m on the right track. Maybe it’s
Source encouraging a moment in which a 3/5 profile is to bring a specific experience to those around them. In one particular example of this phenomenon, I instantly thought of Hallie Parker and Annie James from
The Parent Trap when coming to understand The Channel of Initiation which is present in my chart. Here, Gate 25 (The Gate of Spirit, located in the G-Center) and Gate 51 (The Gate of Shock, located in the Heart Center) are connected, forming a channel between the two energy centers.
Anyone who has this same channel in their chart is probably familiar with the feelings of:
+ Just needing to get something out there—and quick—so nobody does it before you do.
+ Feeling strange energetic occurrences that others might call "competitiveness" but I call being "shook." I used to wonder how stuff like this could happen, by just being myself. Now, I get it.
For me this has shown up in a myriad of ways throughout my life from bullying, to someone actually stealing my resume, to someone I barely know trying to cancel me on social media, to working myself so hard to complete that task I just *needed* to complete.
+ The feeling of LUUURV:
I believe this feeling is comprised of all the good stuff, or ways of seeing through a different lens, that come with being in high vibration (I like to call it "The Energy Feeling"). It goes beyond just me, but also toward my positive feeling of connection toward the world in general, meaning other people, animals, plants, etc (I am a vegan after all).
One hard truth I have to face despite feeling the sense of urgency to do something before no one else is that most things have already been done before. Not only that, but in the right hands, this NEED can be quite dangerous (conquering, colonizing, urgency without thought).
So, how do I use it responsibly? So far, this is shown up for me in my LABS or experiments. As a 3/5 profile I am prone to experimentation. I will cover this in a future post. But basically through the eyes of HD, my main purpose here on Earth is to experiment, learn from my experiments, and share my learnings with everyone else. Hmmm. I will dedicate another post to my LABS as well :). All you have to know right now is, I create stuff.
So, what does this have to do with Lindsay Lohan’s (a 1/3 Sacral Generator, but that’s besides the point) portrayal of two long lost twins?
In my opinion, Hallie and Annie’s relationship is the exact manifestation of The Channel of Initiation. Here’s why.
Human Design Truth: The Channel of Initiation is Awesome, literally. Inspiring admiration (aura-effects as you'll see later) and apprehension (competitiveness) simultaneously.
Because of this, things tend to happen that may not otherwise have seemed possible.
The Parent Trap Truth: Two Twins Separated at Birth Meet on a Chance Encounter
What are the chances that this would happen? Pretty low. Yet for Hallie and Annie it happened (I know it's a movie, but just go with me lol). And that’s just the beginning.
Human Design Truth: Because of the "awesomeness" I mentioned previously, the auras of 25-51 people are hugely impactful. Their energy tends to fuel either that adoring or competitive state.
The Parent Trap Truth: Everyone at the camp is in awe of the twins, even the counselors, and eventually their own parents.
Each twin moves around camp as the leader of their own little posse. They’ve gained their own followers of people who are strongly affected by them. When they finally team up, they go unrivaled and once they initiate that super love (LUUURV), they highly empower each other, and later their parents, too.
Human Design Truth: 25-51s may experience those strange energetic occurrences I mentioned before where people seemingly try to compete with them and they really have no idea why. Sometimes it can manifest in a 25-51 even trying to outdo themselves!
The Parent Trap Truth: Hallie and Annie compete with each other at various moments in the film while trying to prove to themselves that they’re the better twin.
The hazing, the fencing, and the poker game, and later when Hallie doesn’t want to switch back to her true identity are prime examples of this. Not to mention, when they compete with Meredith for their father’s attention (shadow side, I like to call it "The Unsettling" creeping in!).
Oddly, Annie and Hallie (and even Lindsay as you’ll see later) each show both sides of the 25-51 coin (meaning both gates individually, as well as the low and high vibrations of the Channel). After the fencing match, Camp Counselor Marva asks the girls to accept a “good game” by shaking hands. They remove their helmets only to reveal that they look identical. Annie is ready to except this magic, but Hallie continues to berate her looks. This heavily affects Annie who joins back in on the berating, and then their competition is fueled even further.
Human Design Truth: Perfectionism. When you want to be the first at something, you also want to be the best at it, right?!
The Parent Trap Truth: Each twin is awarded best-of-the-best status in one way or another.
During the poker game, Hallie gets the highest hand possible (“In your honor, a Royal Flush.”) while Annie even wins the fencing title of “New Camp Champ,” out-fencing all previous campers at Camp Walden, including Hallie.
Human Design Truth: When I get "That Energy Feeling" it's because I have decided to allow it in. I have chosen to be open to making friends, having new experiences, feeling love, and garnering support. The impact of this can be felt by those around me.
The Parent Trap Truth: It isn’t until Hallie and Annie accept their situation that they are able to understand, love, become BFFs, and figure out a way to help each other.
Eventually this impacts both of their lives as well as the lives of their parents, Chessy, Martin, Meredith, and Grandpa Charles.
Human Design Truth: 25-51 is one of the channels that falls under the "Projected" category. So, I don't have to do anything for all of this to happen. It just does.
The Parent Trap Truth: Neither twin did anything to initiate this new aspect of their lives.
Both girls simply arrived at camp and all of this was ignited on its own.
Human Design Truth: One thing that helps bring me to That Energy Place is understanding that I am not necessarily here for ME. For example, maybe that person who stole my resume actually needed it more than I did. Maybe my higher self created it knowing full well what would happen. Unconsciously this is totally fine, but consciously it's a hard truth to accept. Once I see the things in my life as greater than myself, I am more open...to everything! This doesn't mean I need to lose my identity, but a good question for me to ask myself is how can I go through an "ego death" in a sense, in order to be more open to the impact I can have, versus "hoarding resources" so-to-speak?
The Parent Trap Truth: Once Hallie and Annie understood that if they literally let go of their egos, they would be stronger as one unit (even if it meant they had to adopt the identity of the other lol).
Also, Hallie and Annie are both portrayed by one Lindsay. Oneness, people!
Human Design Truth: Of course, one major theme across HD, Astrology, and even Therapy is being able to accept what is. If me and other 25-51s can do this we will be fully open to that LUUURV.
The Parent Trap Truth: After Hallie and Annie ruin their father’s relationship with Meredith and are punished for it, they begin to accept and surrender.
This is when their parents finally begin to understand.
Human Design Truth: We all know what it's like to be SHOOK. What matters is what we do with our shooken-ness. The elements of being shook are confusion, surprise, lack of inner understanding, maybe some fear, and definitely some change. If I can see how these moments are igniters of change for me, they are easier to accept. Then, I can bring my learnings toward my ultimate goal: peace.
The Parent Trap Truth: Imagine removing YOUR own fencing helmet only to find that when your competitor does the same, you look physically exactly the same.
What happens next for Hallie and Annie? I think you know :)
