The Left Angle Cross of Dedication (Version 1)

Full breakdown

Dedication runs on a peculiar mind — gate 30 handling feeling and desire, gate 29 handling saying yes and taking on commitment. Remember, when we met desire back in the first quarter, sexuality became the theme; here desire recedes into the background, and sexuality is no longer the dominant note either, because that role has passed to gate 23 and its need to be able to explain itself.

These are natural-born teachers, because they're the ones capable of dedicating themselves completely to repeating the same thing over and over, endlessly. Ra himself, who carries the 23/43 channel, knows exactly what this is, having explained Human Design to people for fourteen years running. There's something in a person that, after the mutation has occurred, allows them to talk about it patiently, at length, indefinitely — and that becomes the very foundation of this cross's nature. People here dedicate themselves to explaining things to others as their route to self-realization, taking on serious commitments in life in order to help others and in order to be able to explain themselves. That's essentially what this cross is responsible for: serving others through the capacity to explain.
