Because the Not-Self does not trust what is inside, so it borrows. Ra described it constantly asking who its authority will be: a master, a teacher, a boss, a guru, parents, even anyone who says I love you. He tied this seeking to the not-self side of the 37-40 and said self-reflected consciousness is always looking for an authority to build foundations on. In the Planning era, collective structures supplied plenty of such authorities. Ra said that in the next cycle there will not be all these shepherds around; they fade and die off. That is why the habit of outsourcing authority becomes risky. The alternative is the one he taught throughout: your Strategy and your Inner Authority.
This is not a fact, not medical advice and not a promise of healing. It is part of the cosmology Ra Uru Hu, who founded Human Design, left behind, and nobody knows exactly how it will unfold.
