“Use immediate instinct.”
“Follow your dreams.”
How often have you heard these colloquial pieces of advice?
Depends how old you are a I guess.
Or how in tune to your body you’ve become.
Maybe, you’ve been lucky, and had a great spiritual guide in your life.
For me, it’s the kind of thing I’ve heard hundreds of times, and although it might have felt good, I am guilty of being overly dismissive.
“Yeah, whatever…”
Before one’s rational mind takes control again.
Planning.
Scheming.
Thinking.
But here’s the thing, what if I told you I’d come across a field of study that helped to explain these simple piece’s of advice?
Give me a moment of your time.
There’s no smoke without fire as they say…
Let’s dive in.
It’s called “Human Design”.
Ever heard of it?
Doubt it…
I certainly hadn’t!
Shout out to Jin, the coach who I worked with last year, that brought this to my attention; she use’s it as part of her emotional and energy related personal development work.
Given it’s a complex subject, we’ll keep this high level, but with any luck it will spark some interest in you.
Human Design combines a number of fields, to create a ‘bodygraph’, depicting your unique characteristics.
It’s confusing.
It’s detailed.
It’s like a map.
Indeed, you need someone well versed in Human Design to decipher your reading, which is precisely what I got.
Initially I was dismissive.
I watched the 1 hour reading that I was given by Jin’s friend.
It was kind of cool.
But a few months went by.
Then some more months…
Until my meditation coach Sama recommended a Human Design book, which I bought, and eventually got around to reading.
Then something started to click.
“I must go back and re-watch my reading”, I thought…
Like many things, one needs a few prompts, before allocating some decent attention to something.
To unpack a little more, with your birth date, time, and location, Human Design is able to explain to you a number of reasons why you are the way you are.
It combines traditional fields of wisdom and ancient books in a novel format.
Astrology.
Divination.
I Ching.
Kabbalah.
Vedic philosophy.
Frankly terms that I often run a mile from as hocus-pocus lah-lah land…
But the output is rigourous.
It’s insightful.
Indeed, from my personal experiences through life, what my Human Design reading explains to me resonates very strongly.
I am what it calls a “Manifestor”.
This puts me in a category with about 8% of the global population.
Funnily, it re-affirms certain behaviours I notice in myself.
Using my initiative.
Getting new things started.
Being a dreamer.
Hating to be controlled.
Some say Manifestors are “bold visionaries”, which sounds cool, but they have an attitude of “everybody else get out of my way”.
This resonates.
I love ideas, but I am also guilty of “being a bulldozer”, as my mother likes to remind me.
As I bring this to a close, let me reflect… Why tell you all this?
Truthfully, I’ve gained some value from studying my Human Design, as a way to decipher more about this world, who I am, and how I might best navigate the way forward.
I think you could to.
Whilst in the future when you’re thinking about building a team, getting into a relationship, or going into business with someone, a quick read of their Human Design chart will help you to pave the way for a more harmonious friendship.
What’s wrong with knowing what makes someone tick?…
Best, Jake
Ps - the more I delve into the spiritual world, the more I am fascinated, as if a veil is slowly falling from my eye’s. Why is this happening? Well I can’t help but feel it’s the mirage of fiat currency falling away. When someone has a money printer they can influence every part of life. Politics. Science. Religion. To some extent it’s all been corrupted. Indeed, it’s perhaps why I’ve found really tuning into myself, listening to what I think, truly feeling, such a powerful source of truth lately. Have you had a similar experience? I’d love to hear from you…
