In Human Design, power is life itself. Alokanand Diaz likens it to the vast potential contained in a seed. And yet humanity’s historic use and abuse of power has deformed its essential purpose. True power is the mysterious, sacred motor that keeps us alive. It is a deeply personal energy, and to own it fully…
Human Design is anchored in metaphors of vehicles, drivers, and passengers. Our body is the vehicle and our mind is the passenger, riding relaxed and idyll in the back seat as our Magnetic Monopole (our driver) guides us smoothly through time and space. Of course, every vehicle needs fuel, and this is where Gate 14…
Sometimes we have a sudden knowing, a deep and spontaneous sense of inner truth. This happens even though we can’t explain how or why, or point to any facts to back up our knowing. From a Human Design perspective, this spark of spontaneous genius occurs in Gate 43, the Gate of Insight. It’s interesting that…
I love the idea that our human journey is propelled by a personal quest for Beauty, and that it is our very creative, authentic expression that keeps us evolving into ever more complex beings. To better understand this idea, let’s consider the mechanics of Individual creativity, which is found in the frequency of Gate 1,…
Money is power, and power is survival. And deep within our cellular memory and DNA, we remember how to get more of it. More specifically, this memory dwells in the Spleen’s Gate 44, the Gate of Alertness. If you have this Gate or its channel defined in your bodygraph, you are a valuable asset to…
Some people are natural risk-takers. We take chances others would consider reckless, dangerous, or even downright foolhardy. However, some of us know how to push the envelope safely. It’s like we have a sixth sense, an awareness that tells us where the edge is and how to walk it without actually dying. In Human Design,…
What do you think of when you hear the word cauldron? Perhaps a witch’s brew, or a huge iron pot simmering with meat to feed the tribe? Or does a military cauldron come to mind, where a siege is enacted by enclosing the enemy? Oddly as we shall see, all three apply to Gate 50,…
The only thing which endures is change. This classic paradox is at the heart of why we strive to be better. We want the new and improved. We want the latest and greatest, the most efficient and certainly better than last year’s version. This could be about technology, political systems, health practices, anything at all….
You’re walking alone at night and suddenly you have the sense that you should turn down a different street. Or you’re in a room with others and without warning or apparent reason, your body tells you to leave. If this kind of knowing is familiar to you, chances are you’ve been called intuitive. In Human…
It’s been said that talent is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Imagine humanity’s most talented thinkers, athletes, artists, and scientists. Imagine the prima ballerina, hour and after hour honing her skill until finally she becomes her dance. Or the famous pitcher becoming his pitch. Imagine Einstein at his desk, perhaps in his underwear, his mind…
