Gates: Idea-man
Bill Gates' Rave Chart (HDS) as analysed
by Joost Janssen.
Our MySTER homepage
When we take a look at Bill's mind we first of all see that he
is curious and that he needs to search things out. He is also very
much a man of ideas and he can be very stimulating and genial in
expressing them. In fact, expressing his ideas and thereby
attracting and inform the uneducated is is his unconscious main
theme for the second half of his life, which starts around 40
(midlife-crisis).
It is no coincidence that 'the road ahead'
was published at the age of forty! Launching one idea after the
other is (unconsciously) also his way to overcome a sense of
boredom. The Mind is first of all there for communication and by
design Bill Gates cannot always directly act upon his own ideas
because usually he does not have the energy to. Either the movement
of the planets or the design of the people in his own circle have
to provide the missing link.
Insights
Bill Gates also possesses an 'Inner Ear' and it is the only thing
that he really listens to. It protects him against judgments and
interference of others. The 'Inner Ear' is also about unique
insights and because they are strictly individual and can evoke
condemnation, it takes sometimes courage to stand behind them. He
has to have the patience to stick to his mental habits and unique
thought processes and to let the insights mature.
He might be tempted to express them to soon when an opportunity
arises.
Opinions
Bill Gates is opinionated and his opnions are mainly about
expressing the value of (not) being organized and interdepency. (No
man is an island)
It is important to note that Bill Gates, by design, usually cannot
express his opnions in detail. When you ask him to substantiate an
opinion he ultimately is forced to express it as an idea which is
abstract in nature and does not need any back up. Ideas are not
facts, they are an adventure. The same is true for his insights.
Unique insights
should be imparted as a unique knowing, yet Bill can GENERALLY not
do this.
Whatever opinion and whatever insight he has, he has to convert
them into an idea, which is not the natural outlet. Where Bill
would like to say 'I think' (opinion) or 'I know' (insight) he is
forced to come up with 'I believe' (idea). Whenever Bill Gates
expresses an idea it might be an opinion or insight in disguise.
Social
In the social realm Bill makes selectively contact, yet, after a
while he puts an end to caution and he expresses to others the need
for social interaction. In this respect he may be a voice in the
wilderness and it was the unconscious main theme for the first half
of his life.
Money
The conscious main theme for the first half of Bill's life was
about making money and gathering wealth in cooperation with others.
On the other hand he also might sometimes refuse the material
techniques of others and rebel against conformity.
Privacy, secrecy and reflection
Bill Gates is someone who flourishes behind closed doors. He enjoys
being alone and he is able to revitalize and to let go in retreat.
In reflecting on past experiences he is sometimes able to go
through a whole
range of feelings and to finally recognize through one single
feeling that is of importance.
Leading
He has leading capacities and he derives his influence by doing
what he says. He also has the kind of leadership that takes some
time to manifest.
This means that he might have plans and ideas in his head that
nobody knows about, yet in the end they might come out and effect
the outside world.
Creativity
Bill Gates has an unconscious drive to express himself in a
creative way but in expressing his taste he tends to apply energy
to trivial considerations and he will always be afraid of not
having enough skills.
Memory and Ego
Bill Gates is someone with a big ego, but big ego's are not
necessarily strong. They can survive better when their memory is
complete. Big ego's tend to manipulate their memory and some people
by design even need to forget in order to maintain themselves. For
Bill Gates the stars have laid out a different path. In order to
survive it is important that he takes into account the experiences
from the past. Learning the lessons from history and maturing
through experience in anticipation of the future will be the
conscious main theme for the second half of Bill's life.
Intuition and survival
Survival requires that you hear everything in the Now and for that
Bill Gates is equipped with an 'Existential Ear'. It is about
intuition and the fear of tomorrow: will we survive tomorrow? The
Existential Ear is rooted in the spleen which was the first
awareness system in our evolution. In order to survive better Bill
Gates should pay fully attention to his gut feeling. This is not an
easy lesson. By design he can usually not act directly act on his
intuition and it speaks only spontaneously in the Now and then
never again. There might be a tendency to treat the intuition
superficially.
Holding on.
Bill Gates is an intuitive 'gambler' and risk taker. In the
struggle of life he hears what he really needs to hear and he
intuitively knows when to exploit opportunities. Bill Gates' design
is very much about holding on and keeping one's grip.
Continuity
There is an unconscious need for continuity, businesswise and
private. Dealing with change in a calm manner is not easy for Bill.
When continuity is disrupted he sees it as a proof of
meaninglessness and he can get depressed or deluded.
Values, nourishment and caring
Personal values are important for Bill. In maintaining them he
might face opposition but overcoming adversity will make him feel
strong and healthy. Bill Gates also has a strong nourishing
influence on the people of his own 'tribe'.
In fact, he finds stability (conscious grounding) in caring and
natural sharing of attained abundance. He should take care to
nourish those who really deserve it and avoid indiscriminate
sharing.
Persistence
Bill Gates also has the power to persevere. In approaching
difficulties he follows a straight line which sometimes may be
observed as inharmonic and aesthetically crude. This may cause
overcautiousness on his side. He also tends to extend his resources
and bite off more than he can chew.
Summary
When we look at Bill Gates' design we see several items that come
up several times: interdepency (or not) and dealing with
opposition. We can characterize him as a responsible leader,
private and socially cautious. He is inquisitive, persistent,
creative, rich in ideas and he knows how to maintain his position
in the computer-branche.
