I’m astonished how absolutely absorbed the program is in creating the potential for differentiation. It’s obvious to me that the potential for differentiation is as deep within us as our quantum mechanics and the physics of what it is to exist is built into every single level of us. We’re all here t
It has been one of my concerns that has evolved over the last number of years about the problems associated with what we call mind. Everything about the realm of mind is what the passenger interprets as its life. And who you think you are, is a description of the work of the Personality Crystal, or
So the Nodes, in the graphic, are an instrument for this profound essence of us. It is only here that the two parts are truly brought together. And they are brought together not by both Nodes on either side, but specific Nodes on either side that are called the Link Nodes. And it's these Link Nodes
When I look at the seven-centered being, I look at what it brought us. The whole glory package was in here. This was the whole glory package, this mind, this glory, the absolute incredible glory of mind. And we can understand that. We can understand what it was like that the moment that we began to
We’re moving away from the form experience in the world and we’re moving to the consciousness experience beyond the world. That’s the potential of the Rave, to be a component of a consciousness experience that is beyond the form, not interested in the form, not interested in the demands, or needs of
Pentas show off. Pretentiousness is not personal to humans. You will not find a single Line in the 384 Lines of the Rave I’Ching, and I know because I wrote them, that says anything about pretentiousness. It’s a Penta attribute. It has nothing to do with us. Pentas are pretentious. They show off the
In 2027, we enter into the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, and it is enormously different because it is predicated on this definition—the 20/34. This is deeply, deeply individual. It’s part of the Integration system. It is the backbone of pure selfish individuality. As a matter of fact, it is the
When I was first given the knowledge, and I’ve obviously been talking about that a lot recently, one of the areas that was integral to the knowledge and an area that I literally had absolutely no background in was the I’Ching.
We’re waiting for the tools. And oh boy, are we getting close, around 17 years from now (3 years from now since this was recorded in 2010); very close. Most of us, hopefully, will get to see that. I hope I’m around to see that...
This circuit, the Mystical Way, obviously could have many names. You could call it the mystical way, the spiritual way, the holy way, the natural way, the this or the that way, whatever you want to call it.
There's an enormous amount of rejection in a Manifestor's life and not all has to be real. That is, not all of it has to be obvious rejection.
Most people, when they think about the potential of dream analysis, they’re just curious about whether you can decipher them into some kind of concrete meaning...
“Tantra” for most people is associated with sex. There were always these questions about what do you mean about these Tantric Channels...
We come to one of those places in looking at the basics of Human Design where we really come to the source of all the dilemmas, the problems, all of the things that make it so difficult for human beings...
It all goes back to fear. The natural teachers are the 5/1s and the 4/1s ... But mental teaching that arises out of the 1/3 and the 1/4 is something that is totally different.
The Voice for me—and again, I assume as we move along I will talk about some of these things because they‘re pertinent—the Voice was very powerful.
Everything to understand about these Lines is to understand it in the context of an audition, where you’re going to audition for a part in a film.
I was given a lot of information about many things, but larger cycles have always fascinated me the most. I’m much more interested in the organic whole or in large components of the organic whole than I am with the individual.
What it begins with is aloneness. Aloneness isn’t something that you’re educated to and I think that aloneness is something that is so important in this process.
"And on the other hand, we have the topic of the 42. What do I need to stop, actually? What do I need to bring to a proper end, to a proper closing in order to regain some of my resources?"
"And finally the nourishment, a defense circuit gate that is very, very important. So if you have the 50, others will call that a very nice change in you."
The thing that's so incredible about the insect world, is that they are so unbelievably existential. I mean, it would shame Buddha...
The thing that's fascinating to me is the possibility that is there for us to benefit from our relationship with plants in an entirely new way.
And the 15/5, this Channel of patterns in different frequencies and rhythms is the very diversity of our cellular life.
In part 1 of the Design of Forms series, Ra Uru Hu discusses the Inanimate.
And as a freak, you spend most of your life trying to find acceptance for being a freak. Most people who are mutative never truly mutate and never bring real mutation into the world. It’s not such an easy piece of business.
The only time I began to understand how significant the Abstract process really is, was when I began to look deeply into the relationship between Human Design and genetics.
The Sacral keeps going until it’s exhausted. Its natural tendency is to be deeply, deeply connected simply to its energy flow. And the 52nd Gate says, ‘Will you sit down for a minute. Can’t you just sit down?’
In the Collective Logical sense, that moment of being still is the beginning of the growth of your consciousness.
Time. Time's one of those strange things that we deal with. We tend to have a need to sort of get everything to conform, you know, the homogenized world. But timings, timings are so different.
In reflecting on Lao Tzu, the thing that was interesting about him is that he had absolutely no faith in human beings. He had no faith in terms of what human beings and their minds were doing.
The Sun/Earth is 70% of who you are. This is your Profile. This is the costume, the grand role that you have on your Cross this time. Perfection is living out that role.
I have the privilege of having lived long enough to see the substantiation of the underlying physics of imprinting—the neutrino with mass being scientifically verified—and the statistical verification of the division of humanity consistently into specific Types and Profiles.
What is important for you to take from today is a new perspective, to begin to look at what the not-self is as a manifested existence, as a manifested form, to see it alive and well in the world around you.
So 1st and 2nd Color beings, if you're going to enter onto the way, the way begins with your body; transformation starts with your diet. The catalyst is Strategy and Authority. It's always the same, that's the catalyst.
As we move through this quarter, from April 1 through June 30, Peter Schoeber guides us to gain a deeper understanding of how slower-moving planets will be impacting us on a personal level...
As Pluto continues its transit of Gate 60, Limitation - The Gate of Acceptance, last quarter presented us with new challenges that humanity faces collectively...
But if you're a Generator, only when you are working in your life at something that is satisfying, only then do you have a chance in this life to find your Signature.
It's almost as if Neptune is the ultimate partner of the program pulling a sheath over the close of the process, smothering away from sight what's really going on, the degeneration, the breakdown and the dissolution of the human potential.
Sexuality in human beings according to Human Design is based on two fundamental themes.
After all, that's the only reason the bargain is there. I hope you get that. The only reason that the bargain is there is because there is a wave in the emotional system, and the bargain is an attempt to fix the wave.
If you have a hanging gate you have something to literally hang on. But the moment that it’s totally open there is no defense.
When you think about Design, a wonderful place to go is here in the center of the G Center, the identity. In here, we have what's called the Magnetic Monopole, that which holds us together in the illusion of our separateness
This is my whole thing. My whole thing is we're not here to conform. We're here to be unique beings. We're here to fulfill our unique potential.
What we're going to look at is what most people think is really exciting. In other words, “What is my Incarnation Cross?” And for me, the Incarnation Cross is like going to Craigslist.
My first love in the Esoteric was the stars. It was really the first thing that in what was a time of sort of strangeness for me, it was the first thing that really got a hold of me.
It's always an interesting attempt to look at the concrete event and try to understand how the transit field could influence that. And for our purpose, I have prepared two graphics.
One of the things that is so obvious about homogenization is that privilege is inherited, and the inheritance of privilege leads to class.
If you look at the Channel, the Ego connected with the G, this unlikely connection, what does the Ego have to do with the G? The Ego brings an energy or a power and the G brings an identity or a direction.
Each and every one of us, in the various balances that are there within our own Variable configuration, we all have to come to grips and find a balance between those qualities of Left-ness and Right-ness.
Human beings are controlled mentally at every conceivable level. They're partitioned into little parts, they're set up. If it wasn't enough that your mind is going to have to deal with...
The underlying institutions are already on sand now. All of them are beginning to break down in their capacity to be able to be of service. I just read an astounding thing that one out of 50 children in America...
The world is filled with unaware partnership. It’s very difficult to talk about the possibilities that are really there in partnership because in fact you need to have a real awareness in order to be able to operate correctly...
Then we have Uranus. Uranus of course, is our game changer. It's the counterpart to Neptune. While Neptune is dissolving in almost an invisible way, Uranus brings the new, very obvious like a thunder strike.
At the beginning of the 1960s we entered into the 1st Line theme of the global cycle. Global cycles work retrograde from the 6 back down to the 1, so we’re at the very end of what has been this era...
12 years ago, Ra recorded Closing the Door, the last lecture of his 15-lecture Rave History series. This is a collection of excerpts that reveal much of the prophecy we are now, evidently, experiencing.
If one has, for a long time, the Channel of Transitoriness, there will be some transitoriness, things will find its end and new things may start. And one also has to say, talking about the more, let's say, attractive part of that transit, that is that the whole Sensing Stream has a lot to do, of cou
One of the most fascinating premises in Human Design is the mutation that took place in 1781. That mutation, by the way, was very much the by-product of heat, but I don’t want to get too deeply into it..
There is something really profound that is at work, and it’s been at work for a very long time and it's changed our nature.
The first 30 years of a nine-centered being is just eating correctly and being raised according to your Type. That’s the only requirement in the first 30 years. It’s only at 30 that you begin to set your life in motion. So we’re making up time in that sense.
We have a funny thing, this Heart Center, this little box there, this little triangle. There is nothing in the BodyGraph that is more complex. It is so complex and dense in its biological values, it's unlike anything that is there in the BodyGraph.
“Obviously, when I told you the last time with Pluto in 60 the party is over, we all may not have expected such a fast change of things again.”
This is the Science of Differentiation. Here is the opportunity to really begin to see Profile and to really begin to see the costume. It’s one of my favorite things to think about when you think about Profile, it’s a costume.
We’re all fascinated with our connection with the other. Most novices in Human Design are fascinated with seeing their chart connected to somebody else’s chart. It’s revelatory at that level.
It is so interesting for me going back to the original Rave Anatomy text and seeing where my priorities were at that time. After all, it was put together in the early ‘90s. In laying it out, I was laying out the basic infrastructure of how I would teach people the nature of the BodyGraph.
If we look at Valentine's Day, and I want to begin with Valentine's Day because I think that this is the initial marker for the opening of the most ancient mating season that we have as a species.
It has been one of my concerns that has evolved over the last number of years about the problems associated with what we call mind. Everything about the realm of mind is what the passenger interprets as its life.
My theme today—because we've been looking at the Sun moving through these Gates that close out the cycle and as we approach the Rave New Year, which again, remember, will be on the 22nd of the month—we now have, and have had the Sun in the 61st Gate.
So, Venus retrograde means what? Venus is very much about the personal life, and not only about relationships, but very much about relationships and the possible harmony in relationships...
A Personal Perspective Excerpt: "Then we have a great change of topic, 63. Now if you have Gate 4, that is a great transit for you. I mean, doubt is not, how shall I say, it's not comfortable, it is making us insecure, it is skeptical questions...
A Collective Perspective Excerpt: "Then comes the revolution. And to combine the 49 with Saturn is not so easy. I mean, if you use the term revolution, you think people on the barricades, like the Bourgeois revolution…
So, what does the mundane New Year show us? Why should we have a look at it? I'm convinced that we can look at the BodyGraph of the mundane New Year the same way we look at the Rave Return or the Solar Return which we know from the individual analysis.
When I began my process as a teacher, introducing Human Design, I had this lovely mantra: "You are unique, you have no choice, love yourself."
It began in the imagination of Wolfgang Pauli. I mean, he was trying to solve some basic principles of physics and couldn't come up with a solution and basically invented something that would satisfy the demands of the equation.
The moment that anybody can give up attaching reasons to chemistry is the moment that you really begin the journey of an aware being on this plane. It is such a beautiful thing to be aware. You do not have unnecessary pain.
The next epoch will take with it what it takes with it, but it will live what is programmed. We have 20 years to close the door. There’s 20 years for science to verify the monopole. There’s 20 years for me to prove incarnation.
The beauty of this process at its deepest level is to reconnect you with you. And what I mean by that is the moment that the mind stops being your decision maker it has to be busy with something; mind is always busy, it's watching.
This is the whole thing about the 2nd Tone. It's the thing that makes us so mysterious as creatures because it's the only thing we have that can recognize something that's never been recognized before.
What happened to me in this process is that I took the dualistic trail; I'm a dualist. On one side, there is the mystery of the Design Crystal. It is truly an incredible thing, the way in which the form principle unfolds.
A Personal Perspective Excerpt from Transit Forecast | Q4 2021 — "Okay, Saturn in the 41st Gate. So, we have the ‘Decrease,' and the decrease will be most important for the ones who have Gate 30."
A Collective Perspective Excerpt from Transit Forecast | Q4 2021 — And now looking at Neptune. This is something similar, but not so early. Neptune is still in a retrograde movement and will go direct on December 1, so definitely still in that Quarter.
There are so many different things that I can show you in relationship to Lines. Again, it begins with something that is very important to grasp. That is, the assumption is that you read a Line for its own value, but you can’t.
What is so essential to the digestive system, when you digest food correctly according to your determination, what basically happens is that no matter what you take in, because this isn’t about food...
Philosophically, in my life I have listened to all sides of the discussion of human materialism, material societies, hyper material societies, material-less societies, the arguments back and forth about the nature of materialism.
Something very profound to understand about our ancestors is that you have nothing in common with anyone born before 1781, despite the illusion. You have a totally different inner system. You're wired differently.
The whole thing to understand about the 14th Gate is that it carries within it all of the material potential of humanity, and it is the material potential of humanity in the sense that we understand it as energy, as money, as the material way, as the material path in life.
The biggest job is to love yourself. If you love yourself, you don't need anybody else's love. This is a wonderful thing. Love should be a treat, it should be the candy. It should be something really delicious.
A Personal Perspective Excerpt from Transit Forecast | Q3 2021 — "So now we'll look at exactly the same transit field, but with different eyes from the individual perspective. And there of course, we have to look at different variations…
A Collective Perspective Excerpt from Transit Forecast | Q3 2021 — Our second constant is Uranus. Uranus has shifted very late during the last Quarter into Gate 2, so that is a relatively new activation. It has not been there for 84 years.
The determination of your body is a genetic predisposition to form differentiation. What that means very simply is that each and every one of us is born to be unique.
Let me begin by talking about why this is called Wa Immersion. Wa is a trans-auric form. We are a pure Wa here in this room, all of us together, the 16 of us. This is a Wa configuration, and it has its own aura.
The Rave is only going to have about 1300 years. It’s going to be a small population to begin with. It has very peculiar circumstances which are going to limit the amount of potential that they actually have to flourish and they are going to have to learn how to operate as a melded consciousness.
One of the ways I want to look at this today is to take a kind of radical perspective to see the relationship between non-Sacral beings and the Sacral world as an addiction. I think it’s very important that non-Sacral beings really understand how powerful the addiction to the Sacral Center actually
When you’re looking at the nature of the Sacral, what I really want you to see are two things: The most important thing is the magnetic power of the Sacral aura.
When you’re looking at your Personality Sun, what it’s saying is, “I’m the filter of this ocean. And I will filter this ocean according to my uniqueness.”
We normally say that the most important conditioning influences are the people in our lives. That’s true. But if you have somebody close to you, if somebody is together in the same space with you, you are aware of it...
You have to understand what you are as a force. There is nothing like being one-on-one with a Projector. If you have to get something off your chest, there is nothing better than having a Projector in front of you...
It’s interesting to note that the moment we entered into the Cross of Planning we had the largest population explosion in our history, which will crash the moment that the Cross of Planning is over...
If you listen to my radio show today on stress, it was inspired by preparing the illustration for Serin. You’ve got five Root Gates. So, the first thing to understand about sweet old Parvati is that she is a chemistry of pressure and stress.
The biggest achievement that you have in your life is your experimentation with Strategy and Authority, because that's really an amazing thing when you look at the world out there and you begin to understand how dense conditioning really is.
One of the great dilemmas that you’re going to face as we move along in this journey is understanding that what stands in the way is mind. As long as your mind is going to be in charge of your decision making process...
You want to see? You have to see from a platform that's correct, because the moment that your vehicle is correct, the moment that you’re in the right environment is the moment you've got the right perspective. And then you can see.
It’s an amazing thing about the nature of human violence. It was one of the things in my own studies that I’ve tried to look at and see and discover many themes in the mechanics.
The reality is the world is dominated by trans-auric forms. Most of the things we think are ugly in human beings aren’t in your personal chart, have never been in your personal chart. But they come alive in trans-auric forms.
It’s extraordinary, this search, and we see it in so many ways. Whether you see it as esoteric, New Age, counterculture, traditional, this and that and all the various things, this is the end of it.
This fear of Authority begins with the archetype of the mother and the father. The 18th Gate is the Oedipus-Electra Gate. It is here that we begin to examine the opposite sex, that we begin to challenge whether...
At the very basis of Human Design is a goal — the goal to liberate the self, the being, the unique being, the individual. And of course, the only way you can do that is you have to move away from mind, because...
I talked about that when I finally understood and looked at my emotional system, and the various streams of sexuality and the way it operated within myself, it was an enormous relief to see it for what it is, and without any judgment.
I’m somebody who is very much interested in and has investigated rather deeply the evolutionary process, and the evolutionary process as it’s seen through mechanics. It’s clear to me that the advent of the...
There are two very practical things involved in this program. The first one is that I‘m a mystic; if I‘m anything, I‘m a mystic. I‘m somebody who had a bizarre mystical experience...
Profile is an extraordinary thing. It is really the costume of life, it is the costume of your purpose. And in saying that, it is something to grasp about the nature of Profile. Everyone, no matter who they are...
Everything about Human Design can get distilled down to a number of things. The first thing is to understand that all of this is about being able to deal with your mind. It’s about being able to replace your decision-making mind with another mechanism that you can use and trust.
If we operated correctly on this plane, nobody would be without. And not that it would be some kind of socialist utopia; it has nothing do with that. It’s simply that nobody would really be without.
The right dietary regimen enhances the neural development. It doesn't close it down. Because what's happening to you when you eat according to your dietary regimen is that you're taking in precisely what is correct for you to nourish your difference.
When you look at this Design, you see that the whole world of birds, reptiles and fish, the whole community of them world-wide, is opened up to anything that is going to sit in the 26th Gate (including transits).
“I'll tell you a story; it's always nice to tell a story. My mystical process began with me disappearing from North America and ending up on this little island in the Mediterranean, which at that time...
It’s one of the things I’ve talked about over the years, what it means to have your inner Authority separated from your mental system. Think about what it really means when your mind is both Inner and Outer Authority.
Let's go back thousands of years to the beginning of the story, to the emergence of magic. What’s it really about? It begins with understanding just the BodyGraph mechanism. We are looking at two Gates...
“Be here now” is a popularized philosophy Ram Dass, an American spiritual teacher, is well known for—but is it something everyone can live by? Why do we have difficulties with being present?
Everybody‘s role changes depending on whether they are in a collective situation, an individual situation, or a tribal situation. All the work that I do on expanding the understanding of the Personality is to bring everybody the opportunity to see the mapping of how they operate.
We all have times when we notice our mind is working well, and we also tend to be more familiar than we’d like with the times our mind doesn’t seem to work at all. In such moments we can find ourselves wondering...
There's so much information available that when you're looking at a Design, the simple things in Human Design are often left behind and at great risk because despite its depth, it is in fact simple knowledge...
The first real esoteric knowledge about the nature of a being was introduced by the Hindu Brahmans. It was the 7 chakra system, the 7-centered being. The process of the 7-centered being is what our history is...
Logic is always seeking the perfect pattern, and the perfect pattern is possible. But for the Abstract, there can be no such thing.
I think often there's a great deal of confusion about what I mean when I ask people, in a sense remind them, to love themselves. Self-love is really an incredible thing; I think it is one of the rarest things that we have on the planet.
I've seen so many seekers at this point in my career that in some ways, it's disheartening. There is a Channel in the BodyGraph, the 11/56, which is the Channel of Curiosity. It’s the Design of the Seeker...
We need children to be awakened; they’re going to carry the energy into the future. They’re the ones who are going to have to deal with the great mutation of 2027 and live in a world that is radically different.
One of those old jokes that I've had in my teachings of Human Design over the years is that basically, you can create any title—better sex, better this, better that, whatever the case may be—in the end, it really comes down to the same thing: It comes down to operating correctly.
One of the core aspects, and most extraordinary mysteries of Human Design is the Magnetic Monopole. Within the framework of Human Design, the neutrino and the magnetic monopole allow us to reliably look at how we operate, and the ways the world operates.
As someone who has dealt with melancholy all of my life, and spent most of my life not understanding the nature of melancholy, simply manifesting my way through it, Human Design finally gave me an insight into...
The thing about the background frequency is that it’s going to eliminate one of the basic elements of how human beings operate, which is through sexual allure.
The glue of the Cross of Planning has held together our lives for the last 400 years. But there will soon be no inherent need, drive, or purpose fulfilled through coming together to protect that way of life.
2018 was the third year in a row that Gate 36, Crisis, was activated in the Rave New Year transits. It was a year in which one crisis led to another, as the world watched the collective drive of 6th line themes of Justice.
This year we have Mercury and the South Node in Gate 60.1 Acceptance, in detriment; and, Uranus in Gate 3.3 Survival. Children born this year, with this transit of the 3-60, are going to bring to life...
Looking back at the Rave New Year 2018 transits, there are some specific themes that played out on the global stage which are worth a review to gain some perspective on the Rave Year transits and their potential influences.
There’s always people who come up to me or write to me and want to tell me their stories. Mystical experiences, esoteric experiences, unusual experiences that they’ve had.
Variable is about the ‘box’, it’s about the mind. It’s actually not even about the mind but what's behind the mind, and becoming what's behind the mind. Let me explain to you first what Variable actually is.
We spend approximately a third of our lives asleep. It seems to be something that is built into nature. There are different forms of life that sleep, and yet, at the same time, science really doesn’t have an explanation.
Everything Human Design teaches about the Personality Crystal is that we basically live in a Personality shell. To really grasp that we are limited by the way in which we can perceive frequency...
The moment that you live your life according to your mind, making decisions according to your mind, there’s just no way you’ll be able to fulfill the potential that is there for you.
The moment that you’re living according to your Strategy and Authority you are giving your aura the respect and attention it needs. But, Strategy and Authority is a catalyst. At that level...
Manifestors are told that their strategy is to Inform. That seems so simple: Tell people what you're going to do before you do it, and you won't meet resistance. But that's not what life has taught them...
We have a dilemma: we're dealing with a mutative process that is taking place in the Solar Plexus Center. The 55th Gate and the 49th Gate, as they are both the histidine codon, share similar chemistry.
Logic has something that no other form of awareness has: It can actually pursue perfection.
Living Your Design is not about “Well, why should I do that?” or “Why does that work?” If you don't know why you should do it, then you probably shouldn't be here in the first place.
The split definition can teach others how to be in a partnership because they know what's missing. They know what it means to have someone make an enormous difference in their lives.
The work in DreamRave includes the ability to understand the actual mechanism of the sleep state, and the mechanical ways in which we are being conditioned and homogenized in that process.
An excerpt from “A Human Design Guide to Parenting” by Ra Uru Hu: "Nothing has disturbed me more over the years than to see the relationship between parents and children, where the parents simply do not see the child..."
Are you willing to trust someone else about what is correct for you in your life?
Human Design says something that has never been said before: “Your mind is not for decision making.” That’s all the mind has ever been, the decision maker.
In 1781, something new happened: It’s called Projector. We live in a world where Projectors are truly on the ascendancy, now representing about 1/5 of humanity.
When I first began introducing Human Design, Definition was the very bedrock of what I tried to explain to people. It really was a way of beginning to introduce what it means to be imprinted...
Perhaps one of the most insightful aspects about this knowledge is the ability to see exactly how the unique mind works, both as Not-Self and in terms of its potential as differentiated awareness.
Welcome to Rave History. Today is all about Pluto. Poor Pluto has been publicly shamed by the world astronomical society and reduced from being a planet to a dwarf. I don't think Pluto is deeply appreciative of that...
You have to trust in the form consciousness, because if you don't allow your vehicle to run your life, you're lost in the old model. There will be no transformation, there will be no awakening.
In many ways, environment sets you irreversibly on a new course of consciousness. It is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in all the years I’ve worked with this knowledge: the Design Nodes.
Musings by Ra Uru Hu • December 2003: "So much has been written and said about the nature of Love..."
Time for a moment on love. Let's look at love from a totally different perspective. Let's just think about it for a moment as choiceless geometries. Like two birds flying along in space together...
One of the most extraordinary things about the knowledge of Human Design is understanding that each of us have a unique way in which we are designed to take nutrition into our body.
Looking back at 2017, there are some specific themes from last year’s Rave New Year transit that I observed as they played out on the global stage that are worth a review.
We are used to thinking of the New Year as a time to make resolutions, to look forward to a better version of ourselves. We even say, “Have a Happy New Year”; as if wishing it would make the whole package of change and happiness come true.
When you get to the Sun in Gate 61, Inner Truth, and on the other side Gate 62 (the facts please, just the facts), you look back and see whether purpose and spirit have been fulfilled.
From the moment I was given the knowledge, I began this very long process of trying to get as many people as I could to understand that December 31 is not the end of the Solar cycle.
It is an ancient debate, a classic duality: Comedy and Tragedy. There is the proverbial banana peel, the one who slips on it has a tragic fall and the witness can’t help but laugh.
We are all born into Pentas, we go to school in them, we work in them – Penta is very much a part of the nature of being. The trans-auric form is something that almost smacks of science fiction until you...
For me, the BodyGraph is really the most fantastic aspect of the Human Design System. It is the only aspect of the mechanical construct that is truly original.
Generators… Everything about being a Generator is about how you use your energy. You are THE energy beings, you are THE life force on the planet.
I was given the design, or mechanics, of the various forms: the forms of bio-life, inanimate forms and trans-auric forms. I was also given something else: the knowledge about the mechanics of death.
When I began this series of looking at Profile, I began with the concept of the signpost, and I want to return to that.
"It doesn't mean that the sadness goes away, but it means that the sadness itself can be interpreted as something beneficial. In other words, it becomes your muse."
One of the major problems we have in education is that it is based on a methodology that is rooted in, what in Design terms is called, the Strategic.
Purpose is an interesting concept for the mind; that there must be some higher valuation than the physical life of the body, a reason for this personal existence, and that there is something that must be done or accomplished.
I’m often asked a lot of questions, obviously, about Human Design. And I think one of the most basic questions anyone asks is, what does it really do for you?
Neptune’s role in The Program is deeply veiled, working below the surface of the Gate at the genetic level; while at the surface, this planet puts forth an illusion, a glamour, that is often misinterpreted...
The financial crash of September 29, 2008 was the moment I realized that 2027 wasn’t a singular event, but rather would be a point along a continuum of evolutionary changes that was observable.
Dream Interpretation and the role of nighttime dreams are viewed quite differently in the Human Design System from how they are portrayed in mainstream science of dream interpretation.

It's an extraordinary thing to understand the nature of your child's design, I know this myself. It allows you to be free of all of the uncertainties and concerns that arise out of what it is to be a parent.
"The dilemma of the mind is that even when the form is aligned to its correct path in life, the mind continues to chase the shadows, and believe that the stories found in the shadows are real."
Through the Human Design System, Ra brought us knowledge of how to understand not only the mechanisms of our individual being but also the global programming cycles affecting all of us.
Imagine a world where children grow up appreciated and respected for who they are, feeling secure in themselves instead of learning they should be something other than what they are.
Every Human Design parent wants to raise their children correctly. The great dilemma that faces 9-centered parents is that guiding children is not the same as learning your own design.

What is the Not-Self according to Human Design? Is it a bad thing? No. Is it a good thing? No. It just is. It is something that we live with, that we co-exist with.
I saw a recent post on Facebook asking about Profile compatibility, and this is the first time in a while I felt compelled to write a response.
In the not-self world, being a non-energy type is a deep handicap that has to be compensated with smartness. You have no muscle? Well then get yourself some brains.
Born on the Cross of Consciousness, with definition everywhere between the Head and Ajna centers (except for Gate 24) I truly am someone who’s life has been transformed as I changed my attitude towards questions.
The 'Quarter of Civilization' is the place in the wheel where we find 16 gates whose purpose can only be fulfilled when it materializes itself into some FORM.
Like the other three quarters, the Quarter of Initiation is divided in two halves by one of the 4 gates that make up the cross of the Vessel of Love.
With all certainty the ‘Quarter of Mutation’ is generally the most easily misunderstood and yet prone to lead to misjudgement and false generalizations.
Like in any other quarter, the line of transition into the Godhead that embodies the principles of Love for the entire quarter is a very important marker of all the unresolved human dilemmas that cast their shadow unto the first half of each quarter.
"I only learned to love the endless paradox that reveals that ‘Knowledge is not Power’ through the beauty of Human Design coming into my life."

One of the most heretical statements that I heard come out of Ra Uru Hu in his later years was when he said that “the family is not human”.
During my reading with Ra, he told me “Don’t believe me. You experiment and find out for yourself.”
I had my reading with Ra Uru Hu when I was 46 and now I’m 66. Sometimes it is difficult to remember who it was that sat down next to him.
Waiting. How hard it is to wait. Just go to any grocery store with a slow cashier and a long line. Or a traffic jam. Or delays at the airport. Or...
There is something quite beautiful in the process of deconditioning. I often refer to it as cleaning out the open Centers.
Many of you already know that Ra Uru Hu was not just a teacher, he was also a musician. His passion was music.
As far back as ancient Greece man has been investigating the human mind. Socrates, Freud and countless others studied the very complex and mysterious mind.
I was asked a very interesting question the other day about something I had written in my book “A Revolution of One”, a book about the first 10 years of my experiment.
I have often heard it said that competition is healthy. Well, healthy for who? Not for the person with the undefined Heart Center.
For those of you who are new to Human Design, there are two sets of information on each side of the BodyGraph on your chart.
After all these years, I can say from my own experience that “Timing is Everything”! I have seen the truth of this from my own sacral response.
Before Human Design, I had been a seeker. This searching took me to India where I encountered for the first time the word “Enlightenment”.
My de-conditioning process started in December 2012 when I took a leap of faith to leave my corporate job in New York City. There was a shift in awareness and . . .

One of the most important things to discover after your Type and Strategy is the framework upon which it is based. In that, we come to the Profile and the Hexagram
The foundation of Human Design analysis is the Hexagram and its structure. From Profile to Gate and Channel thematics, the six Lines reveal profound information.
Transits, or the Human Design "weather", are one of the most important aspects of this knowledge. Transits were, in fact, Ra Uru Hu's first "teacher."
The BodyGraph is a map. Explore how energy flows through the Pressure and Awareness Centers within Circuits and the Mental Streams: Logic, Abstract, and Individual.
The Human Design System is not a belief system. It doesn't require that you believe in anything, or that you believe in me. It’s not stories, it’s not a philosophy. It is a concrete map to the nature of being...
