The six two profile in human design, the role model hermit, or as I like to say in Ecocentric human design, the mentor introvert, you are here to show the world what it means to live an embodied and authentic life. You are trustworthy, optimistic, and deep. You see possibilities and hope with your unique perspective like the hawk that soars above you, lead through counsel with your specialist expertise and are sought out for your wisdom. You lead through listening and being discerning with your words. You seek out a life with depth and meaning. You build trust in others. Slowly over time, you are recognized by the other for your gifts that you bring to the world. You are a gift to humanity with the possibilities you see in the world. Okay, so let's dive into the six two profile. So when we come to any sixth line profile, we have to remember that the sixth line exists in three phases.
Phase one is birth to roughly 30 years, and they live life more like a third line. So they're going to bump into things, life's going to bump into them, they're going to learn the hard way. Then around 30 to 50, phase two begins. And phase two is really where six twos build the foundation of their life. They seek out a partner, they hone and refine their expertise. They tend to establish a family and a home base around this time, and they almost withdraw. And this is easy, even more extreme in a six two. And the reality is part of the reason why they withdraw. Many people talk about this is being on the roof.
I really believe any six line, but six two is in particular because they have these themes of trust or not trust leadership or not in the sixth line. And then in the second line, it's like nourish or depleter, shy, withdraw, bold advance. So when we come to the six two, we have to remember six lines. I don't believe six lines ever actually heal from the wounds of those first 30 years that they experience. It's almost like a scab that never truly heals, like it's always still tender. And ultimately six twos need to find people that they can trust. And it's in that second phase where they really kind of cultivate and hone their inner circle. And that's where the key relationships in their life are built. And they're built Upon trust. And the reality is the sixth line, they're idealists. They want to find the perfect partner.
They want someone that they can relate to. They want someone that they can be proud of. And partnership for six twos can come in many different forms. I see it in the form of entrepreneurship. I see it in the form of a relationship like life partner. And the reality is it's six two's put up barriers almost to see who is willing to actually do the work to break them down and is this relationship worthy? And then we've got phase three and it's around 50 that the six two really starts to reengage with life. They step down from this place of observation and people call this coming off the roof. But the reality is you don't just come off the roof and stay off the roof. You kind of go back and forth. And it's during this phase where they can step into their role model.
Now, just because a six two is the role model doesn't mean they're guaranteed to step into that mentor role model role, but ideally in the high expression, this is where they are a living, breathing example of an objective observer and leader. And the reality is the six two is constantly being observed by the other. And the other is constantly observing the six two. And the six two is getting noticed and called out for their gifts because that second line is a projection field. And these are people who can actually provide feedback to other people without inserting their own interest or making it about them. They are here and they listen to other people and they see hope for humanity. And they also see the despair in humanity. They see the weakness and the frailness in humanity. But ultimately these people are people who are optimistic.
They see the best in themselves, they see the best in people around them. They want to see others bring their dreams to fruition in an on the line low expression. The six two is uncertain. It's got a lot of hatred, it's got a lot of distrust, it's got a lot of weakness. Our experience is a lot of weaknesses. It sees how weak humanity actually is and becomes withdrawn and doesn't actually step into that role model. And the reality is, in order for a six two to be aligned to their high expression, trust is a key part of their life. And they won't ever really kick someone out of their life, but they'll hold that person at a distance. They'll only engage with them on social or surface level. And the six two is a transpersonal profile. It means it needs others to fulfill its destiny.
And when they don't trust or when they feel withdrawn, they're going to struggle to actually live that out. And the reality is they have a powerful ability to interact with the people around them when they can trust. However, that second line doesn't always recognize its talents. It doesn't always know what it's actually good at yet people are constantly projecting on it what it is good at, what it's talents are. And so it becomes incredibly important for the six two to actually be discerning about what are they actually willing to come off the roof for and go down with the people. Because what happens is when they go down with the people, they risk having their wounds from those first 30 years be poked, right? Because tender from that and six lines just simply being six lines can trigger people. And ultimately the six two is here to be self-sufficient, to be visionary.
It's here to be optim optimistic. And as they hone their process and start to maintain their objective perspective, and if they cannot allow the fragility of the world to keep them down, they will really flourish and get their wings, as I like to say, in phase two and phase three, right? In phase two, they kind of have baby wings. And then in phase three they really spread their wings. And so these are people who need to sort of oscillate between engaging with life, coming off the roof, getting back up on the roof and going back and forth and back and forth. And it's important to understand that the words of a six two carry weight, unlike other profiles, because the sixth line is almost as if they're someone who is super human.
And the reality is the six two gains wisdom through observation. And unlike the fifth line that we've been talking about, six twos, everyone they meet, everyone they encounter it can has the potential be transformed by the words of that six two. And it's important to understand that these are people who show the rest of us how to live an embodied life. How when we can realize our potential that's waiting to be discovered within us, we can live life to the fullest. And the magic of the six two happens when they embody their authenticity and they show up and they share their answers that they have within without the need for external validation from other people in order to transform each person with each encounter that they have. Now, the challenges here are many because these are people who often carry the wound from phase one with them, and it never truly heals.
So they're skeptical, they're weary, they're distrusting of life. When they come down with the people, they do not want to be poked or prodded in their wounds. Yet as soon as they come down and hang out with the people, they tend to get prodded because people can energetically feel there's something different about a six two. They're also a projected profile, so they're under constant observation from the other. So people are constantly looking at that six two and projecting on them, right? Oh, look, you're so talented at this. Come help me with this thing. And the reality is six twos will also often trigger other people simply by existing. Because the six two is the highest. It's almost like superhuman. The fifth line is the highest universalizing power of the human experience. But the sixth line is like this superhuman experience. So they trigger people simply by existing.
And the reality is the six line sits on the roof. So these are people who go around sparking things in other people, sparking transformation in other people simply by existing. Yet obviously the opposite can be true, right? It can also trigger people simply by existing. And the reality is the six two is almost aloof to the expectations of other people. And they're aloof to the fact that I don't get what this whole human thing's all about. And there is a tendency here to have perfectionism. And the reality is these are people who have an abundance of knowledge, often through traditional knowledge acquisition and also observation. And they can't necessarily articulate their gifts or explain their process, yet they can perfectly point out the ways and paths and ways for others to transform yet for themselves. They strive for this perfection. And ultimately what happens is that leads to an action and fear.
And the reality is they tend to realize that as they start to share things, their synthesis or their knowledge might change over time as a gain more observation. And therefore, they're afraid that they're going to be shamed, that what they said two years ago isn't relevant anymore. And so there's a real tension here for the six two. But ultimately we have to understand that in order for the six two to live out their expression, there's no bypassing the projection field for other people. And they really have to learn to trust in the unknown. And in order for the six two to endure, and on the other side, they have to be discerning in who they trust. They have to learn to embody and integrate the knowledge and the wisdom and the observations, and they have to really honor the divine timing of life. And there's a tendency here for them to compare their journey to other people.
But the six two journey is not like any of the other profiles. So this comparison itis can leave them withdrawn and questioning their gifts. And since they kind of see things from a different perspective, they're often more aware of things that are happening than other people. And they tend to be met with resistance when they share their vision, and then they'll start to question their gifts as a result. And this leads to judgment, which leads to inaction. But it's important to understand that this profile needs time alone in order to cultivate their gifts and become who they're meant to be. And the reality is they have a big purpose here in this world. So if you are a six two, it's important for you to understand that this is just part of the process. So some questions to contemplate as a six two is what did I learn from this experience?
Who is in my circle of trust and who can support me in calling out my gifts? Where am I relying too much on my mind and not enough on the inner knowing of my body? Am I clear on what my gifts are? Where do I feel nourished? Am I spending enough time alone, or am I spending too much time alone? Am I trying to make something perfect instead of stepping down off the roof? Have I tended to the wounds of the first 30 years of my life? And how can I honor my need for depth and substance? So thank you for tuning in to the six two Mentor Introvert. We'll talk to y'all soon.
