Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated to

0:05

helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to

0:09

flow without sacrificing results.

0:11

Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business

0:15

according to your human design. I'm your host, Nicole Laino.

0:22

Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design everybody.

0:26

I'm your host Nicole Laino and we are here for the fifth installment of our

0:33

Human Design Profile series, where we are going to talk about the Line 5.

0:38

And this is obviously the one I've been waiting for because the work

0:42

that I have done on becoming a five.

0:46

It still exists every single day. I think about what it means to be a five.

0:50

And I'm going to really reflect my own personal experience in this episode.

0:54

I try to do that as much as I can give you real and practical applications of

1:00

how all of these can look, but this one I'm going to talk a little bit more about

1:04

my story because I think it's relevant.

1:08

And I talk about these concepts, that in order to live your purpose, according to

1:13

your human design, in order to reach that summit that we're all waiting for, we're

1:19

all working toward, is to live our full potential, you've got to be your profile.

1:24

You've got to be acting like the person written on the page,

1:27

like the character description. And whatever that means to you.

1:31

And obviously I've used the analogy on here of a character in a movie.

1:36

That Forrest Gump was a character that was written on a page.

1:40

It was a description of what he was like.

1:44

And then they thought about different actors and what they

1:47

would bring to that description.

1:50

Now there were probably a lot of choices, people who could have played that role.

1:54

And then there were some that would feel really wrong playing that role.

1:58

I use that analogy of saying Jack Nicholson playing Forrest Gump

2:01

probably is not a movie that works, not in the same way for sure.

2:06

I don't know if you get what you need to get from Jack Nicholson in

2:09

order to be fully invested in the character that is Forrest Gump and to

2:13

feel the way that you feel for him. Now, could someone other than Tom Hanks have played that character?

2:19

Yeah. It would have been different, but they would have taken the base character

2:24

and added their own stuff to it. And that's what profile is.

2:28

There's no cookie cutter way to be a five or to be a two or to be a three.

2:35

There are guidelines. There are certain things where if you're not doing these things, then

2:40

you're probably not going to feel right. You're not going to be living as this character.

2:45

You're going to be doing something else. Jack Nicholson playing kind of innocent and sometimes clueless in

2:53

the most beautiful way, he might not have been able to bring that

2:57

same level to it that Tom Hanks did.

3:00

Where there was just this childlike innocence to him.

3:04

If you're not playing the innocence, if you aren't embodying the innocence

3:08

of Forrest Gump, then you're missing a key component of that character.

3:13

You're missing a key component that makes the movie work.

3:17

Your movie is your purpose.

3:20

The theme of your purpose is the plot line of your movie.

3:24

It is the greater theme that is playing out.

3:27

And all the activations in your human design chart that are playing

3:31

out, adding to what becomes you bringing you to this character.

3:37

But the character that is making its way through this story is your profile.

3:43

It is the role you are here to play.

3:45

And if you aren't playing it with, if it's the innocence, if it's the

3:49

open heart of the four, if it is the experimentation of the three, or what

3:55

we're going to talk about with the five, the practicality and the universalization.

4:00

If you aren't bringing these aspects to your life, then you're going to

4:05

miss the key storyline of your movie.

4:10

And then you wonder why the movie ends and it doesn't feel satisfying.

4:15

It doesn't feel like you lived your purpose, like your

4:18

potential was fully reached. So many of us are trying to reach our full potential.

4:25

Well, how do we do that? You gotta be yourself. That is above all things what human design teaches us.

4:31

That we have a purpose. That your potential is real.

4:33

That calling that you feel inside of yourself is real.

4:38

That little voice inside of you that says, there's more.

4:41

I could be more out in the world.

4:44

Well, what does that look like to you? And how do you bring your more out into the world?

4:49

What is the more? How do you find it?

4:52

Your profile is what helps you walk that path and to start to

4:56

see your potential come out. And it comes out really naturally, not in this way where you're thinking

5:01

about it all the time, reading books, listening to podcasts, downloading

5:07

Instagram carousels and saving them for later, all of that stuff.

5:11

No, it comes from the living. They can inform it.

5:15

They can be useful, but they are not even close to the whole game.

5:20

If that's all you're doing and you're not experimenting and embodying

5:23

your design and working toward that, then you're missing the game.

5:28

And if you don't know how to work toward embodying and integrating your

5:32

design, then that's where you seek help.

5:34

It doesn't have to be me. Just find somebody who can coach you, find somebody who can help you, who

5:39

actually cares, and I must say, who actually knows what they're talking about.

5:43

Who has actually embodied it themselves and they didn't just

5:45

read it in a book themselves and then try to sell you something.

5:48

Sorry, had to throw that in there. Feeling saucy today.

5:51

Talking about my five lines. I'm getting all excited. So, just before we start, if you want, we do have a free guide for

5:58

this that will help so that you don't have to remember these concepts.

6:00

The guide is on finding your brand voice, your X factor

6:05

through your human design profile. So we're going to talk a lot about what the five is in this episode.

6:12

And we talk about what they are and how the lines operate.

6:15

And then in the guide, we go into a little bit more about how you

6:18

could apply that to your brand voice, what that will look like.

6:20

We go into that a little bit deeper. So if you want the free guide, all you have to do is go to Instagram, and

6:25

DM me the word X Factor, the letter X, and then the word Factor, all one

6:29

word, and we will send it to you. Or go to nicolelaino.com/xfactor, and you can download it right there.

7:10

Okay, without further ado, let's talk about the five line.

7:13

This episode is for you if you are a 2/5 profile, a 3/5, a 5/1 or a 5/2.

7:24

Now, again, what we've talked about in the other episodes, the

7:26

first number, if you are a 5/1 or a 5/2, your 5 is your personality.

7:33

This is the one that you identify the most with.

7:35

This is going to be the person. The piece that you put out in the world, the five is something you're really

7:39

going to want to pay attention to. You are going to have a strong projection field that you are aware of and we will

7:44

talk about what the projection field actually means later in this episode.

7:48

This is a key part of understanding what it means to be a five.

7:51

So do not skip the end of this episode because the projection

7:55

field is almost everything.

7:58

It's so much. It's so much. Please don't miss it. So if you have the 5 in the front, you have the projection field, and

8:02

the 5 is your personality number. This is gonna be the part that you identify with the most.

8:07

You're gonna say, yeah, that's me. It's gonna be very in your face.

8:10

Now if you are a 2/5 or you are a 3/5, then the 5 is your

8:14

unconscious line, and this is going to be kind of a background thing.

8:18

You might be less aware of the projection field, you might be less

8:21

aware of some of these other things.

8:23

It's going to be something that other people see in you

8:26

more than you see in yourself. Now that 5 line, that projection, that can also feel a little

8:32

like, what's going on here? Because you don't identify with it.

8:36

So when I talk about the projection field, this might be something that you're like,

8:39

yeah, I know that happens, but I'm not as aware of it in my day to day life.

8:46

Whereas if you have a 5 in front, if you're 5/1 or 5/2 like me, I am a 5/1,

8:52

just for anybody who doesn't know already.

8:54

I talk about it a lot, but I'm a 5/1. Very aware of the projection field.

8:59

Where it can stop you in your tracks.

9:01

And it's something that you have to learn to work with.

9:04

So I highly recommend that if you're a five, get deeper into this topic.

9:07

Okay? So let's talk about this.

9:10

In traditional human design, the five line is called the heretic.

9:15

And Ra, who was the founder of human design, he was a 5/1.

9:19

He had strong thoughts and I think a bit of trauma about being

9:23

a five, because it's not easy. It is not easy to be a 5.

9:27

It's not easy to deal with the projection field because you are not

9:31

in control of it, and it controls the way that people see you.

9:35

Now, the 5, the heretic.

9:37

A heretic, you can think about them as somebody on their soapbox, talking

9:42

a good game, spreading the word about something, really selling it, so to speak.

9:48

And then the heretic gets burned at the stake. And I'll just say this about the five.

9:53

When I first read about the five, I was like, okay, I

9:56

downloaded my chart, you're 5/1. What's that mean?

9:58

I looked it up, and I was like, oh my god. This is the worst thing ever.

10:03

I felt there was truth in it. I did not at any point say, that's not true, I don't have that, that's not me.

10:09

I said, that's me, and oh my god, my worst fears have been realized.

10:14

It really is as bad as I always thought.

10:16

I'm doomed. Cause this sounds really awful.

10:20

Because when you're called a heretic, it's not exactly something

10:22

that you want to be called. It's not exactly a name that you want to attach to yourself.

10:26

And nobody wants to be burned at the stake.

10:29

Nobody wants to be stoned to death. And we can associate ourselves with that because of this name that it's been given.

10:37

But really what it means to be the five, to me, the archetype that

10:42

I use is you're a problem solver.

10:46

It's the archetype of a problem solver.

10:50

It's core to who we are. The way that I've structured talking about all of these lines in these episodes

10:56

are that the archetype is the being.

10:59

It's the how. It's the what we do.

11:01

And it is the living of the design. It is the living of the profile.

11:06

So you've got to be living as a problem solver.

11:09

It's why it makes us good marketers. It's why typically fives have a knack for being able to sell stuff.

11:16

Because we solve problems. And how do you sell stuff?

11:19

You sell problem solving. You sell solutions to people's problems.

11:22

That's why people buy things. Even if something feels good, it solves a problem.

11:27

A massage solves the problem of, I'm stressed out, or I need to relax.

11:32

I'm tired. I want to feel a certain way.

11:35

It's driving toward a desire, or it's running away from the pain.

11:40

We inherently understand that because we are problem solvers.

11:44

Whether you're selling something or not. You've gotta be solving problems.

11:47

It's who you're here to be. It is the essence of your being.

11:52

It's how you show up. It's how you live your purpose.

11:56

Your purpose has something to do with solving problems, usually

12:00

for other people, because we are in transpersonal territory.

12:04

With a five in the front, you are going to have transpersonal, energy.

12:08

If you are a 5/1 or a 5/2, your destiny is connected to other people.

12:15

You've got karma with everybody that you meet.

12:18

There's always something being worked out, so life can feel like

12:23

people can have and situations can have a very big effect on you.

12:28

They can feel like little moments or people can make big turns

12:32

and changes and shifts in your life, for better or for worse.

12:37

So we are on this ride of saying that when we're solving problems, when we are

12:41

interacting with the world, when we're being who we are meant to be, then we

12:45

are cleaning up the karma that we have. And I don't think about karma necessarily like, bad things

12:49

that happened in past lives. It just means you have a history with everybody you meet,

12:53

that there are no accidents. That you have the ability and the potential to be a stranger

12:58

of consequence in someone's life.

13:01

And they have the potential to be a stranger of consequence in yours.

13:06

There are no accidents if you're a 5/1 or a 5/2.

13:10

Now, if you have the 5 in the back, you still have this problem

13:14

solving leadership quality to you.

13:17

The 5 is a leader, but only if it's problem solving.

13:21

That's the moral of the story with all of these episodes is I want you to see that

13:26

there's potential in your profile, but you have to look at it and say, I'm accepting

13:31

and owning the fact that this is me. And I'm going to notice the shadows, and I'm going to recognize them, and I'm

13:40

going to own the gifts, and I'm going to really step into this, even if it's scary.

13:46

I'm going to accept the fact that this is core to who I am.

13:51

If I'm not solving problems, it doesn't mean I'm doing it 24 seven,

13:55

although I naturally look at things being like, how can I fix that?

13:59

We are the fixer. We are the savior.

14:03

It's the archetype of the savior is another way that people look at it.

14:05

I don't necessarily call it that because I don't want people to misunderstand that

14:11

they should be saving people all the time. We are always looking for practical solutions to problems.

14:18

We just naturally look at situations and go, that could be done more efficiently.

14:23

You know what would really help? Not everybody always wants to hear that though.

14:27

So we have to be careful about who we solve problems for.

14:31

Now, the potential to ascend for our brand, for our brand voice, for our

14:37

business with a five is the influencer.

14:42

When we're solving problems, and we are living it, and we are owning that

14:47

we are a unique, practical, powerful problem solver with the ability to

14:53

save people, if they are for us to save, that we can become an influencer.

15:00

And this is different than the influence of the four because the influence of

15:03

the five is about the larger audience.

15:05

It is an influence on strangers. It is an influence on more of the collective level,

15:10

than on the tribal level. That can be a little disheartening at times for us too, because we

15:16

can have very little influence on the people we know and lots of

15:20

influence on people who just meet us. So these are all things to consider when we build our business, when

15:26

we start to understand how our energy works, what people need from

15:29

us, and how they connect with us. Now, I started this out by saying that I hated my profile when I first read it.

15:37

I was just like, this is awful.

15:41

Emotional authority, I was like, oh my god, why did I get the hardest test in

15:45

life of this profile, this authority, and I don't know if my type is necessarily

15:51

the hardest, although they all have their challenges, but I certainly

15:54

looked at this like this is no good. This is not going to be fun.

15:57

Now I know why life has been difficult. But it became a lot less difficult when I stopped feeling that way

16:02

and I looked at it and I said, well, if this is what it is, then I

16:05

might as well make the best of it. There's nothing in human design that's all bad.

16:10

There is nothing in us that is inherently bad.

16:13

There's a spectrum and I can choose to work and integrate the best of

16:20

all the pieces that I am and work with them, challenges and all, figure

16:25

out how to ride that wave and how to navigate life as this being.

16:31

Not trying to be somebody else, because I tried that before.

16:34

I tried being other people. It did not work for me.

16:37

If you're a five and you try to go out there and live life as a four,

16:41

it probably will not work for you. Trying to make all these buddy buddy connections and have these close

16:46

friendships and all of this stuff. Doesn't mean that you can't.

16:49

It just means that it's probably not going to grow your business the

16:53

way that it grows a four's business. That's not how we do it.

16:58

Profile and our design in general can tell us where to put our energy.

17:02

What is the best way for us, the best method for us.

17:07

Where does our energy and our effort carry the furthest and carry the most weight?

17:14

So the projection field, let's talk about this.

17:17

The five carries a projection field, no matter where you have it.

17:21

All fives have it, all of those four profiles will have a projection field.

17:25

Now it's different than the projection field of the two.

17:27

Now if you're a 5/2, you have both. So understanding both of them is going to be important for you.

17:32

But people look into the two. They can see into you.

17:36

The five, we are more like a mirror.

17:39

The projection field shows people what we can do for them.

17:45

Or what they think. We can do for them.

17:48

And sometimes they're right and sometimes they are wrong.

17:51

It's what your authority tells you, whether you are there to

17:54

solve that person's problem or not.

17:58

They see something in us and we don't know what it is that they

18:03

really want, but they see the savior.

18:06

I think you can help me with X.

18:10

Welcome to the world of being a five. There's always people thinking, I bet you can help me.

18:15

You know what I need from you? And it can honestly be quite exhausting.

18:20

People always need something and they're always looking to you and we can solve

18:25

problems and we can fix things, but we can also feel like we have to be doing it all

18:32

the time and for everybody that we meet. And then when we don't meet the expectations that they set,

18:38

that they did not share with us. They don't even know sometimes, but there can be disappointment at the end.

18:46

Or there can be a feeling of, I thought you would do more for

18:51

me, or you would keep doing it. So relationships can be challenging with a five in your profile.

19:00

And learning how to work with the projection field, learning how it works,

19:05

one of the greatest lessons of my life.

19:08

And it is one that I reflect on every single day.

19:12

I don't harp on it, but I'm incredibly aware of it.

19:17

And I have learned how you can use it to your advantage with integrity.

19:22

It's always about how do I use this and use it to my

19:25

advantage grounded in integrity. It's really important for me as well.

19:30

My unconscious earth gate is about integrity, so I'm very

19:34

hyper aware of that as well. And this is how the design works.

19:38

We start realizing the pieces that are there.

19:41

And seeing that there is this through line.

19:44

There's always these threads connecting everything together.

19:49

Forming how we step into the highest version of ourselves.

19:55

And then when we do that, that's when we get in that, I'll

19:59

have what she's having energy. Where people just look at you and they're like, I see you for who you

20:05

are, I see you for what you do, and I want to be that authentic too.

20:11

They want to be near you. That is what magnetism really is about.

20:17

Magnetism is about you sending out a signal that's completely

20:20

and authentically you. And then the people who receive it say, I need this energy, this is the

20:27

thing that I'm seeking, this is the thing that I want to be connected with.

20:32

Whether it's a friend, a business colleague, a client, whatever it is,

20:37

but people get drawn to you because they are vibing with the signal.

20:41

And if you're not being authentic to who you are, you're sending out

20:44

an inauthentic signal and then you are attracting the wrong people.

20:50

You're getting people that don't guide you and help you along your purpose path.

20:57

Instead, you're getting people who hold you where you are.

21:01

And if you are part of that transpersonal world, where you have that five line

21:04

in the front, the 5/1, 5/2, and also if you're a 6/2, or 6/3, you have this

21:09

as well, this transpersonal profile.

21:12

That signal you send out is incredibly important because the

21:16

people you encounter are going to be the people you have karma with.

21:20

They are going to be the ones that have a significant impact

21:23

on your life, and you on them.

21:26

So this is how this all works.

21:28

I hope that this helps you understand the five.

21:31

I could honestly go on and on. I told you, I think about this every day.

21:34

Learning how to embrace the five, to embrace my role as a 5, the importance

21:42

of that, the challenges of that, to stay out of the shadows of that,

21:49

to be able to put myself out there as a true 5, to not be afraid of

21:54

the potential that exists as a 5.

21:59

All of that is what I work on every day and has transformed my life, my business.

22:07

I get very aligned people connecting with me now, joining my programs,

22:12

paying me for readings, paying me for one on one coaching.

22:15

The people who come to me now come to me for what I really can deliver.

22:20

And I can totally suss out the people who are not there for the right reasons

22:24

or who I'm not connected with in a way where I can really help them.

22:28

They don't have a problem I can solve, or they're not the

22:31

right person for me to solve it. All of that is tied to my design, all of that is tied to me following my authority,

22:37

following my strategy, being in alignment with my human design type as a manifesting

22:42

generator, and living life as a 5/1.

22:46

Nurturing both sides of my profile.

22:48

So I hope that you found this useful, I hope this gave you a window into how

22:51

you can more embody your 5 line, and again if you want that free guide, on

22:56

how to find your X Factor according to your human design profile, DM

23:01
