Human Design & Mythology: The Tengu
Ever since I took Ra's Quarter by Quarter on the 16 Faces of the Godhead, I've been intrigued about the way in which we can find the themes of the mechanics woven throughout our human mythologies.
You can find the course on Jovian Archive here:
https://www.jovianarchive.com/Audios/40/The_Sixteen_Faces_of_the_Godhead
In the 16 Faces of the Godhead, Ra covers each quarter of a Quarter in the Human Design Rave Mandala Wheel. Each one of those quarters of a Quarter is comprised of 4 Gates, which together form a Face of the Godhead. He gave each Face a name based on a particular divinity he felt most closely resembled the essence of the programming that came out of those four Gates as a quantum - a whole greater than the sum of the parts.
Each one of those Faces represents a Personality crystal bundle, out of which each of our Personality crystals as individuals incarnated. The 16 crystal bundles together exist as a sheath around the Earth and filter the neutrino stream, as the planets move through the Rave Mandala Wheel. The themes of these 16 Faces create a global conditioning programming of our Personalities, following their archetypes.
In this course, Ra opened up the door to contemplate how and why human beings have been inspired throughout history to create particular gods and mythologies that are relatively consistent or similar across cultures, how certain archetypes emerge to the surface of human consciousness in relation to the higher forces that human beings have always perceived to govern the unfolding drama on the planet.
In this article, I'd like to take a look at the Tengu, a mythological figure from Japanese folklore and animistic religion and its potential connection to Gate 26, and the Channel of Surrender (44/26) A Design of a Transmitter, as well as its relation to particular Faces of the Godhead.
"Tengu 天狗 are mountain and forest goblins with both Shinto and Buddhist attributes. Their supernatural powers include shape-shifting into human or animal forms, the ability to speak to humans without moving their mouth, the magic of moving instantly from place to place without using their wings, and the sorcery to appear uninvited in the dreams of the living.
The patron of martial arts, the bird-like Tengu is a skilled warrior and mischief maker, especially prone to playing tricks on arrogant and vainglorious Buddhist priests, and to punishing those who willfully misuse knowledge and authority to gain fame or position. In bygone days, they also inflicted their punishments on vain and arrogant samurai warriors. They dislike braggarts, and those who corrupt the Dharma (Buddhist Law)." (https://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/tengu.shtml)
On the website above they are referred to as the 'Slayer of Vanity'. They are a breed of tricksters that come in two basic variations: the 'Yamabushi' or 'Mountain Monk' Tengu with humanoid face and long nose, and the 'Karasu' or 'Crow' Tengu with bird's beak and head. The Japanese government still made appeasement notifications and requests to local Tengu living in certain areas until the second half of the 19th century.
Adding a fun-fact here: the (44/26) Channel of Surrender is also our cross-specie bridge to the Design of birds, as well as part of the Stream of Instinct, corresponding to our sense of Smell (re: long nose and bird features).
So the first connection points we can already see here is the notion of pride, arrogance, boastful vainglory and trickster qualities that are also associated with the 26th Gate: The Taming Power of the Great - The Gate of the Egoist. This Gate sits within the Tribal Ego Circuit and as such it relates to hierarchy. It is the Gate of the braggart, the Gate of 'being the best', of exaggerating, and more importantly - manipulating memory.
"The maximization of the power of memory applied to the nurturing of continuity"
(Definitive Book, p. 245)
We can take a look at the Line Companion to understand the nature of this 26th Gate a bit better:
"The tribe expects to be exaggerated to. It is very important for the tribe. It likes that. This is the best refrigerator, the best car, the best country. Exaggeration is part of the way of getting the tribe to feel good. The 26: the strength or lack of strength to apply memory.
The whole thing to understand about the ego is that it is built on manipulation, and please do not think of this as a bad word. It is simply the ability to manipulate things. There are very few gates that are called 'taming gates': The Taming Power of the Small (the 9th Gate), to be able to take the broad spectrum of energy and to focus, tame it, to tame the root and its pressure by focusing it; and, here the capacity of the ego to manipulate instinctive memory." - Ra Uru Hu
(Line Companion, p. 165)
In the Line Companion Ra continues to explore the various Lines of this Gate. He explains that this manipulating ego conveys that they are the best by making sure that they are remembered in a certain way - using all tricks at their disposal, such as lies and exaggerations. Paraphrasing Ra: it's the sales person who is on the golf course smooching the client, rather than actively doing the sales in the way the 1/8 Channel of Inspiration would do. Telling the boss over the phone that the deal has been made when it may not even be true yet.
These things are a function of the Willpower of the Heart as a Motor energy that is expected to get things done, but is weaker compared to the Sacral. These tricks are a way of handling that pressure and expectation of the Tribe that is dependent on it, with a Motor than cannot actually work consistently and needs to be able to recuperate frequently in the midst of all of that.
"Sometimes, too, the Tengu would abduct human beings, only to release them later, but the "lucky" survivor would return home in a state of dementia (called 'Tengu Kakushi', meaning 'hidden by a Tengu').
(https://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/tengu.shtml)
As trickster goblins the reputation of the Tengu transformed gradually from evil to protectors, however dangerous still. As time went on, they were being culturally remembered differently. Once feared for a certain attribute, they were eventually beseeched for protection against the exact same thing:
"The character of tengu gradually changed over the centuries. For instance, tengu were long thought to abduct children, but by the Edo period they often were enlisted to aid in the search for missing children."
In the 16 Faces of the Godhead, the 26th Gate is located in the Face of Prometheus: the Greek trickster Titan who stole the original fire from the Gods and gave its power to humankind as a benefactor. Prometheus is comprised of Gates 9, 5, 26 and 11.
9. Taming Power of the Small - Energy for Detail
5. Waiting - Fixed Patterns
26. The Taming Power of the Great - The Egoist
11. Peace - Ideas
Within the context of Prometheus, the 26th Gate acquires additional archetypic characteristics that we may also see reflected in the Tengu - especially in constellation with the 44th Gate of Alertness in the Face of Minerva, as part of the (44/26) Channel of Surrender.
Here's a blog post by Laveena from 2017 that goes into the 16 Faces of the Godhead and what kind of conditioning forces they represent Quarter by Quarter:
Prometheus is located in the Quarter of Mutation, where purpose is fulfilled through transformation, which carries an underlying thematic of embracing death with the potential for rebirth. The movement through the Quarter of Mutation is a programming for accepting that the glory is behind us, that we are now preparing to leave life behind and move on. And yet as we scan over the Gates that are in this Yang/Yang Quarter we can see that all of them are fundamental to the creative spectacle of life. All the varieties of juice that are at the source of what makes life interesting, as it is expressed through the other Gates, Channels and Circuits.
It's funny that whenever I consider this I always think about the stereotypical 'accomplished' male who has just realized they are past their prime. They've 'peaked' and there won't be a next level for them to take it to. Their performance is on the way down, and they are on the way out. And the Quarter of Mutation represents everything they may be clinging to in this crisis, everything they may seek to reinvigorate, keep alive, immortalize or be remembered for. And I imagine how this stereotype acts out in their fear of dying, the denial and overcompensation that emerges - the pretence that they're still as vital and potent as ever. This is not an uncommon sight in homogenized society. It is this suggested or displayed vitality and potency around which their lives have been built. What has made them desirable and needed. It's their life's currency, and in this Quarter of Mutation - it's fading.
When we think about the 26th Gate, its ego and the way in which it manipulates how we remember things in order to establish control, we can connect some dots to the overcompensating masculine principle which clings to its own glory.
"The long nose relates to the Tengu’s hatred of arrogance and prejudice. Priests with no true knowledge, prideful individuals, those attached to fame, and those who willfully mislead or misuse the Buddhist cannons are turned into the long-nosed Yamabushi Tengu (or sent to Tengudo, the realm of the Tengu) after their deaths."
(https://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/tengu.shtml)
Whenever I look at any Face of the Godhead in the Wheel, I study them within the context of the Wheel and Bodygraph as a whole. (My PTL1 classmates know this from the Mad Labs I was hosting in which I introduced some of it.) It's way beyond the scope of this article to go that deep, but for anyone interested I would just like to mention that as a rich journey you could undertake.
When it comes to Prometheus as a particular programming agency, the main archetypic expression of that I see expressed in society today is the technocracy. This Face embeds the 26th Gate into focused and concentrated Logical Patterning in pursuit of an Abstract Collective Idea. On the other side of the Wheel, as programming partner to Prometheus, we find Lakshmi who carries our notions of Progress and glamour. And so what comes out of this is the vain and arrogant idea of technological progress that is supposedly the pinnacle of evolution, that is our conquering crusade across the face of the Earth and into the far reaches of space - which has also led to the termination and extinction of so many as a sacrifice. We think metropolitan cities are a magnificent erection - look at the luxurious size of that thing! Until suddenly the supply chain collapses.
Prometheus as an archetype is a force you'll encounter in the psyche of everyone who is actively participating in that flow. The promising scientist, scholar, CEO or philanthropist who wants to be remembered for their greatness. The debunker who persuades you to forget about the quacks you've been following and would love to teach you real science instead. Benefactors who bestow their gift, their particular kind of fire, onto humanity in their benevolence. Rallying the soldiers and the masses behind them in their cause - blind to what's on the other side.
"Corrupt Buddhist monks and corrupt Buddhist monestaries were in fact a major concern throughout Japan’s middle ages. Tengu are thus seen as protectors of the Dharma (Buddhist law), and punish those who mislead the people. Over time, the folklore of tengu and yamabushi become intertwined, and even the crow tengu (karasu tengu) begin wearing the robes and caps of priests."
(https://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/tengu.shtml)
Back in the middle ages the clergy were supposed to be the vanguard of the future, stewarding the afterlife as the mediators between the divine and the people. Today that's supposed to be the scientific institutions that guide governmental policy. The Tengu wear the clothes associated with these particular roles that carry the promise of protection, which can suddenly turn into misleading at any given moment. The security and resources that are there to be found in positions of authority and power within the Tribal hierarchy may corrupt. In particular when we move from the lower trigram into the fourth line. Those with influence may start to use it for their own advantage rather than their duty.
I mentioned earlier the termination and extinction that exists on the other side of the 26th Gate. This is something we find in the 44th Gate of Alertness - Coming to Meet, it carries the fear of the Past and the fear of extinction. The 26th Gate is biologically correlated to the T-Cells that are part of our immune system, who protect our wellbeing by eradicating threat. What comes out of that at the level of human to human interaction is soldiers of many kinds - as well as censorship and elimination of certain lineages of information. The 44th Gate carries ancestral and cellular memory that goes way back into our evolutionary past.
In my slice of life over these last few years, I've seen the dynamic between the 26th Gate's censorship and the 44th Gate's ancestral memory play out between the many indigenous communities who are fighting to keep their lineage of vital knowledge alive, protecting the ecosystems they are embedded in, while industrial technocratic forces are coming in violently to exterminate them and take hold of the natural resources. Co-opting the narrative along the way. Indigenous ways of knowing and seeing are labelled as 'primitive' or 'savage', while modern intellectual ways of knowing under the banner of science are 'superior', 'civilized' or 'sane'. A story is spun to give military troops an excuse to invade and kill people who do not comply and who stand for a different way of living in the natural world. And this is then called 'development' and sold to the citizens who consume vast quantities of beef and soy grown on these lands, after the forests and communities have been destroyed.
Minerva is the last Face of the Quarter of Duality, where purpose is fulfilled through Bonding. She is associated with strategic arts and crafts, such as trade and war. She carries Gates 32, 50, 28 and 44. As a conditioning force in the Program, she represents what Ra called the School, the Rules, the Way and the Promise. Here's what you need to learn in order to survive, here's where you can learn it, follow these rules and apply yourself - and everything's going to be fine. Go to school, get the degree, get the job, get the money, get the house, get the family, get the pension - happy retirement. Oh and don't step out of line or it's all gone.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengu#Martial_art)
"During the 14th century, the tengu began to trouble the world outside of the Buddhist clergy, and like their ominous ancestors the tiāngǒu, the tengu became creatures associated with war. Legends eventually ascribed to them great knowledge in the art of skilled combat.
...
Two stories from the 19th century continue this theme: In the Sōzan Chomon Kishū, a boy is carried off by a tengu and spends three years with the creature. He comes home with a magic gun that never misses a shot. A story from Inaba Province, related by Inoue Enryō, tells of a girl with poor manual dexterity who is suddenly possessed by a tengu. The spirit wishes to rekindle the declining art of swordsmanship in the world. Soon a young samurai appears to whom the tengu has appeared in a dream, and the possessed girl instructs him as an expert swordsman. "
The (44/26) Channel of Surrender, A Design of a Transmitter, is the life force capable of handling Tribal ego and selling or transmitting to the Tribe what it needs for its continuity, safety and wellbeing. Whether this is a product, a service or a strategic art. This Channel has the ability to match-make potential. For example, connecting a talented young samurai to the art of swordsmanship and the right teacher that will bring out his gifts so that he becomes of value as a protector of the Tribe. This Channel has the potential to sniff out what you need before you're even aware of it, then massage you and set you up for the purchase. Telling you whatever it is you want to hear in order to allow it in.
I attract this Channel into my life very frequently, though most of the Transmitters I've come to know more closely are involved in some kind of creative enterprise. Some kind of arts and crafts related field in which they produce products and services that carry an essence of Tribal Support, care and learning. Products and services that reflect a particular set of values by which we are educated (and potentially indoctrinated) into a manifesto, mythos or ideology. The premise is that, by all appearances, they've got something we really need in order to live well, to thrive and continue thriving into the future.
What I also see in my particular environment is the Alertness in the 44th Gate about our enemies, the threats of the past that may still be lurking, or the conditions that gave rise to the creation of enemies and war in the first place. We have ongoing and continuous reminders of WWII in Europe all over the place so that we do not forget. At the same time, we grow our crops with toxic pesticides that were rebranded death chemicals from the concentration camps, thanks to the dextrous manipulation of the 26th Gate.
In the Channel of Surrender, where these Gates come together as a greater whole, we are held in the surrender to life as it sets us up to exchange value and resources. To participate in the flow of converting the living natural world into resources for sustaining our lifestyles. And we are trained and educated in schools to do so, we are taught the way and the rules by which we keep the whole thing going. Markets are grown and cultivated through education.
What is truly vital here is the recognition of life and hierarchy. Many indigenous people who live embedded in the natural world say something along the lines of "We live amidst relatives, not resources." And this is a perspective civil society has lost. It's an ancestral memory that has been censored and eliminated from our ideological pursuit of progress.
In the Not-Self, it's a small step to take in the 26th Gate from 'being the best' to 'being superior'. There is natural tribal and evolutionary hierarchy, and then there is the vanity of thinking we're 'better than'. The blindness of reducing what we see to a diminishing label that removes from view the fact that we're looking at a conscious living entity. As we do with trees, animals and the inanimate. As we do to each other in our racism and fanaticism. Something alive becomes potential resource to subjugate to our personal agenda. No permission needed.
I'll end this article with a short Tengu Zen story:
“One day a hunter was in the mountains when he happened to see a snake killing a bird. Suddenly a boar appeared and began to devour the snake. The hunter thought he should kill the boar, but changed his mind because he did not want to be a link in such a chain, and cause his own death by the next predator to come along. On his way home he heard a voice call to him from the top of a tree. It was the voice of a tengu. It told him how lucky he was, for had he killed the boar, the tengu would have killed him. The man subsequently moved into a cave and never killed another animal.”
Something to contemplate as a metaphor.
I hope you enjoyed this experimental article.
Take care,

Human Design Mandala Mechanics
Quarter by Quarter
Every hexagram in a Quarter shares the same bottom two hexagram chops—in other words, all hexagrams in a Quarter have the same first two lines. This foundation determines the thematic that links the hexagrams in a Quarter together and shows us the theme of how our conscious purpose in this life is meant to be fulfilled.
Here are the foundation hexagram chops establishing the foundation of each Quarter:
The Four Quarters
YANG/YIN
In the Quarter of Initiation (Gates 13-24), we have the theme of Purpose fulfilled through Mind. The foundation here is set by the Gate of the Listener, “the Fellowship of Man”—Yang (spirit) pushing upward into Yin (form). When we activate all the gates of this Quarter we see that the only definition in the bodygraph would be the Channel of Initiation. Those whose Personality Sun is in the Quarter of Initiation are here to wake up first. They are initiated through the development of Mind, and, in turn, initiate others according to the nature of their particular Cross and Profile.
YIN/YIN
In the Quarter of Civilization (Gates 2-33), we have the theme of Purpose fulfilled through Form—through manifesting. The foundation here is set by the most Yin hexagram of all, the Gate of the Direction of the Self, “the Receptive”—therefore it is Yin over Yin. When we activate all the gates of this Quarter we see that there would be no definition in the bodygraph and that all 11 Throat gates are present. This is the world of manifestation, where mind is concretized into form.
YIN/YANG
In the Quarter of Duality (Gates 7-44), we have the theme of Purpose fulfilled through Bonding. The foundation here is set by the Gate of the Role of the Self in Interaction, “the Army”—the Yin/Yang. When we activate all of the gates in this Quarter we see that this forms three channels bringing definition to the bodygraph, creating the only pure emotional Generator through the Channel of Mating, along with the Channel of Discovery and the Channel of Abstraction. This is the world of fertility and bonding—your relationships with others.
YANG/YANG
In the Quarter of Mutation (Gates 1-19), we have the theme of Purpose fulfilled through Transformation. The foundation here is set by the Gate of the Expression of the Self “the Creative”—of course, Yang/Yang. When we activate all the gates in this Quarter we have only one definition, the pure Generator with the Channel of Exploration. This is the world where anything can happen—it’s about the process of living (like the rest of the wheel is) but here it is also about the process of transformation and accepting death.
Now that you have discovered the Quarters, it’s time to break them down into the 16 Faces of the “Godhead”. There are four Faces per Quarter—four distinct nuances of each Godhead. These names put a face to the thematics shaping humanity. There have been many names for these faces in different cultures over the eons. The 16 archetypal themes inherited from our 7-Centered ancestors impart their qualities to the four respective gates within each Godhead. Note every Godhead’s hexagrams share the same first four lines.
What's Your Human Design Godhead?
Below, look for the gate of your Personality Sun to find your Godhead and its theme. This archetype is what keeps you from recognizing how deeply conditioned your perceptions are about your life. Where you can get into trouble is taking the conditioning to its distortion and thinking that your Godhead is THE God.
Human Design Mandala Quarter of Initiation - purpose fulfilled through Mind
Kali—The Destroyer of False Devotion Gates: 13-The Listener, 49-Principles, 30-Feelings, 55-Spirit
Mitra—The Evolution of Consciousness Gates: 37-Friendship, 63-Doubt, 22-Openness, 36-Crisis
Michael—The Angelical Mind Gates: 25-Spirit of the Self, 17-Opinion, 21-Hunter/Huntress, 51-Shock

Parvati - Goddess of Domestic Bliss Gates: 15-Extremes, 52-Stillness, 39-Provocation, 53-Beginnings
Ma'at—Goddess of Truth, Justice and Cosmic Harmony Gates: 62-Details, 56-Stimulation, 31-Leading, 33-Privacy
Human Design Mandala Quarter of Duality - Purpose fulfilled through Bonding
Thoth - God of Wisdom, Writing and Time Gates: 7-Role of the Self in Interaction, 4-Formulization, 29-Perseverance, 59-Sexuality
Harmonia - Goddess of the Family Bond Gates: 40-Aloneness, 64-Confusion, 47-Realization, 6-Friction
Christ Consciousness Field - “Love Thy Neighbor” Gates: 46-Determination of the Self, 18-Correction, 48-Depth, 57-Intuitive Clarity
Minerva - Virgin Goddess of Warfare, Arts and Crafts Gates: 44-Alertness, 28-The Game Player, 50-Values, 32-Continuity
Human Design Mandala Quarter of Mutation - purpose fulfilled through Transformation
Hades - God of the Underworld Gates: 1-Self-Expression, 43-Insight, 14-Power Skills, 34-Power
Prometheus - Thief of Fire and Benefactor of Humanity Gates: 9-Taming Power of the Small, 5-Fixed Rhythms, 26-The Egoist, 11- Ideas
Vishnu - God of Monotheism Gates: 10-Behavior of the Self, 58-Vitality, 38-The Fighter, 54-Drive
The Keepers of the Wheel - Guardians of the Wheel - The Hidden Gods (from themselves) Gates: 60-Limitation, 61-Inspiration, 41-Contraction, 19-Wanting
Another way of explaining these Forces is that your conditioned mind tends to interpret the Maia according to your Godhead. When in a "not-self" state, making decisions from your conditioned mind, you can end up living out the homogenized, dead myths of your Godhead, rather than shining with the uniqueness of your authentic and differentiated holistic self.
Following Strategy and Authority keeps you from getting trapped in your Mind’s illusion derived from the conditioning forces streaming through your individual Godhead.
Have you seen this at work in your life? Would you like to share how it has shown up for you?

How To Work Best As A Classic Builder (Pure Generator): Doing What You Love
There are two types of Career Builders: Classic Builders and Express Builders. This article focuses specifically on Classic Builders.
Here is the second installment in my Career Type series that can help you comprehend your unique career type. BG5 is the career and business application of the Human Design System. We offer this information to improve your "inner-standing" so that you can work more efficiently and achieve better results.
In this Career Type Article, we’re going to focus on the Classic Builder (Pure Generator Aura Type), one of the most vital and numerous of the career types.
Knowing your career type empowers you with a straightforward tool for decision-making. It’s a core component of how to make choices you trust to use your precious energy in the right way, a way aligned with your natural strengths, talents, and gifts.
It’s vital to your well-being and overall work-life balance to operate in alignment with your physical capabilities.
How to Avoid the Classic Builder (Pure Generator) Career Type Pitfalls
If you’re a Classic Builder:
Do you feel stuck in a job where you can’t seem to get ahead despite working hard?
Are you frustrated with how you spend your time and energy?
Do you feel exhausted when you wake up in the morning at the thought of going to work?
Do you feel unsatisfied with your energy levels?
The reason for this discomfort and dissatisfaction comes down to misusing your energy resources. Your BG5 career type gives you a decision-making strategy that tells you how to utilize your energy most healthfully.
As a Classic Builder, you use your power most effectively when you provide the strength to move your passion projects along, to build and create in response to what your life asks you to do.
You can only “go, go, go!” healthfully if you’re doing something that feels meaningful and satisfying to you personally. What you do helps you discover who you are – for yourself, no one else. So if you do things for others that are not in response, for whatever reason, you are eventually going to end up with challenges.
Saying yes to everything a particular person asks for because of whatever role they play in your life and subjugating your own needs for the sake of external validation (their approval) is just one example of how you can be led off track.
Ignoring your body’s response and slaving away at something you don’t enjoy can quickly burn out your generative energy, and even if you do manifest something, it won’t feel deeply rewarding or satisfying. You could force yourself to “go, go, go” in unhealthy ways by doing things that you don’t enjoy.
Do you find that your career isn’t entirely satisfying?
If you’re doing things that you’re not designed to do...
If you're saying yes because of outside forces...
If you're having a hard time saying no...
If you’re preoccupied with doing a lot of “busy work” that is not personally rewarding...
Likely it’s because you’re not following your gut responses.
If you have the additional strategy of Waiting for Clarity, you need to feel out your responses over a period of time. The sounds your body makes (when things are just humming along) give clues to whether you are satisfied with what you're doing. When aligned, you are a master of using your energy in a way that pleases you.
Can you recognize that your satisfaction depends on doing the work you love and loving the work that you do?
Your life’s work is vitally important to your overall health and your overall well-being.
If you are not doing what you like to do and loving what you do, your health eventually will suffer.
How to Know the BG5 Classic Builder Career Type
Classic Builders can express pure, consistent power, a generative vitality in answer to what life asks of them. Often their response is a guttural sound or a sensation that emanates from the core of their being. Builders “come alive” through response, providing significant energy to move projects along to completion.
If you’re a Builder, you are designed to enjoy the process of getting things done that you enjoy doing in a step-by-step process.
Do only the things your body responds to with energy and vitality!
Builders are people who enjoy using their life force through a process of response that is aligned with their passions.
If you are a Classic Builder, you’re part of 35% of all Builders who are gifted with a natural built-in generative vitality that knows through response what they have the energy to do. Your career type allows you to go, go, go—and do, do, do IF you are aligned with work that "lights you up" inside.
Your outlet is your passion, your creative life-force in response, the work that you enjoy doing. It’s a source of powerful regenerative energy for you. Plugging into this outlet daily until you run out of juice at the end of the day helps you to sleep soundly and revitalizes you for another day of satisfyingly spending your energy in alignment with your purpose.
No matter what Career Type you are, there are grave consequences for not using your energy correctly. Not using your power successfully leads to health issues like chronic overwhelm, depression, stress-related ailments, exhaustion, burnout, and overall unhappiness.
How Classic Builders Best Use Energy for Maximum Results
Many people slave away at a job they hate – trapped in their own mind’s justifications for why they “have to” do the work they do and cannot choose to do what they love to do. BG5 helps solve today’s critical issue of Employee Engagement.
How can you as a Classic Builder use your power correctly?
The QUALITY of how you use your energy is essential. Your gut tells you, moment to moment, what it has the power to do.
As a Classic Builder, that natural source of generative energy is designed to be entirely used up with activities you enjoy, every day. You are intended to be able to go, go, go only in response to what life asks of you – not what your mind thinks you “have to do” “should do,” or are “supposed to do” no matter what reasons it gives you.
The energy with which you commit yourself to a project or endeavor flavors the entire experience. If you’re following your gut response to use your power in a practical, productive way, in a way that brings you an internal feeling of satisfaction, you can build a meaningful life.
How to Comprehend a Classic Builder’s “Response-ability”
Each Classic Builder has a unique purpose he or she is here to fulfill. Their strength can be tapped into for their personal satisfaction through following their gut response from moment to moment, no matter what fears or reasons their mind might use to persuade them not to follow their body’s innate intelligence.
What does the Builder’s response feel like?
Here, in their own words, are some answers from Classic Builders:
“I’m not saying that my experience is everyone’s experience, but this is my personal experience. I have this feeling that my gut response is almost literally pulling me forward if it’s a yes or pushing me away if it’s a no…. It’s physically something that I get excited about, something that I can feel. It’s that sort of excitement, that kind of gut feeling of like, ‘Ohh yes, yes I want to do it,’ or ‘Hmm, not really.’ Those are a couple of ways that I feel it physically.”
~Karen Sherwood, Classic Builder, Wait For Clarity Decision-Making Strategy
“My Gut response feels like a happy, excited feeling in my belly, and if it is a very strong response, as it was when finding BG5, it is really like butterflies in my stomach kind of excitement. That is if the response is YES! Now it I do not have a Gut response if it is a NO, it feels off in my stomach, kind of as a knot in my stomach. Usually, I get a lot of mind chatter with it as to why I should or shouldn’t do it. Whereas with a clear YES I just KNOW instantly I want to do it without having any clear good reasoning to it.”
~Nathalie Keijzer, Classic Builder, Wait to Respond Decision-Making Strategy
“When I first heard about having a ‘gut response’ I wasn’t sure what that felt like. It took some time to really ‘get’ it. Now I know when something is right for me or not, by paying attention to my energy. It has become a real body-experience. When it’s a ‘no,’ it feels like a brake is being put on internally; my energy goes down and I can physically feel my body moving away from whatever it is that is offered. However, if it’s a ‘yes,’ it feels like my body moves forward; there is an openness to want to engage with what I’m responding to.”
~ Marije Miller, Classic Builder, Wait for Clarity Decision-Making Strategy
“I feel like a magnet pulls me somewhere. I feel the energy to do something, what the asking is about.”

Two Helpful Classic Builder Keys for Maximum Satisfaction
All of us broadcast our energy in unique ways. Each one of us has a simple signpost that will immediately let us know if we are delivering static, or producing clear communication.
How do you know if you’re on track or off? When it comes to using your energy correctly, owning your uniqueness, communication, and what you’re broadcasting, an essential guidepost for each Career Type helps us know when we’re on track and when something’s off.
Classic Builder On-track: Satisfaction
How do you know if you’re transmitting static or clear communication? The simple answer is if it feels right, you’re on track. Each Career Type has a signpost of how that consistently shows up. For you as a Classic Builder, the signpost is Satisfaction.
From the Classic Builder’s perspective:
“If you’re a Builder, when you’re utilizing your energy properly, there is a deep sense of satisfaction. There is nothing more wonderful as a Builder than to lay down at the end of the day after doing what you love with a deep feeling of satisfaction, thinking, ‘Wow, look at all I accomplished today,’ I love that feeling. The more aware I have become of my unique design as a classic Builder, the more profound I can feel that satisfaction.”
~ Karen Sherwood, Classic Builder, Wait for Clarity Decision-Making Strategy
“Satisfaction is an awesome feeling. Recently I rearranged a class of the BG5 Foundation Course, and with my Strength of Concentration, I was focused on it over 12 hours straight. Well, I had lunch and dinner, but I was enjoying the process of perfecting and making the material logical and understandable for students so much that I forgot about time and didn’t have anything to eat in between. And then when I finally finished in the middle of the night, I had such a Satisfying feeling. I was very tired but went to bed with a big, big smile and anxious to teach the class and see if my students could take in and assimilate this rather profound information in a digestible way. It was really tiring but utterly satisfying to work on something I love doing! I feel it in my entire body like a buzz of energy.”
~ Nathalie Keijzer, Classic Builder, Wait to Respond Decision-Making Strategy
“Satisfaction feels like being in the flow, a sense of inner joy. It is a sense of being engaged with something that I enjoy. It doesn’t necessarily mean that everything is running smoothly. But even the issues that may come up feel ‘interesting’ or worth my energy.”
~ Marije Miller, Wait to Respond and Wait for Clarity Decision-Making Strategy
“I’ve done something really great. I get tired, but I am happy. I don’t feel boredom anymore. Because I was good at my project!”
~ Ksenia Balitskaya, Wait to Respond Decision-Making Strategy
Classic Builder Off-track: Frustration
If it feels terrible (imagine the sensation of trying to move through hip-deep mud – and you hate being dirty!), you’re off-track. One of the gifts of knowing your Career Type is owning the signpost of being off-track. Frustration is like the bumps in the middle or on the sides of a road that warn you it’s time to correct your course or your career, or else your health may be in jeopardy!
From the Classic Builder’s perspective:
“There is frustration when I try to make or force things to happen when they’re not happening in the way that I want them to happen, and when I want them to happen now, but they’re not happening in my time frame. I push harder, and this pushing only leads to more frustration.”
~ Karen Sherwood, Classic Builder
Karen advises that in those times of frustration, we learn to relax and let go of any attachment – especially any expectations we have about the outcome.
“A funny thing happens when I do that. Somehow, one way or another, things seem to work out on their own. Either the situation goes away or changes because it was not correct in the first place, or I finally become open to new stimulus to respond to that points me in the right direction.”
~ Karen Sherwood, Classic Builder, Wait to Respond and Wait for Clarity Decision-Making Strategy
“Frustration is annoying. It gets in the way, or rather is a result of something not working out. I get frustrated if I cannot make something work if I cannot figure something out. Frustration feels different. It is higher up in my body than satisfaction which is more grounding. With frustration I can feel my breath be high up and sometimes my upper body contracts and it is tense. Sometimes also I get a headache when it is something I have been concentrating and focused on for too long and still could not figure it out.”
~ Nathalie Keijzer, Classic Builder, Wait to Respond Decision-Making Strategy
“Frustration to me is being on the wrong path. It feels like wading through molasses… We all have things that we don’t really want to do but have to, sometimes. When those come up for me, I have to push myself through an inner resistance. It’s very uncomfortable. It takes a lot of my energy, and I’m always glad to be done with them. There is no ‘savoring the process’ in those experiences.”
~ Marije Miller, Classic Builder, Wait for Clarity Decision-Making Strategy
“If I feel frustration it means something is wrong. I need to stop and look back to my activity. It’s a place I lost my energy. Why? And Where? I should understand deeper the process before I start doing something else.”
~ Ksenia Balitskaya, Wait to Respond Decision-Making Strategy
Questions to Contemplate: Classic Builder Career Satisfaction
Do you have a few minutes for a Self-Discovery exercise?
Get your phone on Airplane mode and put it on a 10-minute timer. If you have difficulty doing this alone, doing this exercise with a friend or co-worker who knows you may help. Ask them to ask you the questions below, and modify the questions to what they know of you. Have them ask you yes/no questions about your interests and your life.
If you have Wait for Clarity as a decision-making strategy, try doing this again but spaced out over a week or two to see how your responses change.
Are you passionate about your work?
Could you do it all day without feeling frustrated?
Does your work give you so much satisfaction that you would enjoy doing it even if you didn’t get paid?
What about...Can you imagine doing what you love and getting paid for it?

Bob Marley's Bodygraph Chart - Human Design Professionals Study Group
Today we discussed Bob Marley’s Human Design Chart
Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley OM (Born February 6th 1945 at 2:30am)
Bob Marley was a Jamaican reggae singer-songwriter of international fame worldwide acclaim. From 1963 as the lead and a guitarist of the Wailers, he expressed a deep and profound songwriting and vocal style that has only grown over the decades. The Wailers released some of the earliest reggae records. The Wailers disbanded in 1974. Bob Marley pursued a solo career which led to the release of “Exodus” an album from 1977 which established his reputation and secured his family’s wealth for generations to come. He was a highly spiritual Rastafari whose music brought comfort and hope to those who were open to hearing his unique message. As I grew up in Hawaii I heard it a lot on the radio personally and did love it.
Bob died from lung cancer in May of 1981

It [Strategy and Authority] isn't Going to Bring You the Complete Process
Excerpt from Professional Analyst Training Level 1
“The first thing that really is so essential to understand about what it is to be us is that there is a way in which we can simply surrender into a mechanism that is going to bring us to that fulfillment. And it's simply about being aware of what those mechanisms are and then watching it happen, because it isn't about making it happen. I don‘t think there is anything more important for me to share with you than to say to you, don't listen to what I'm telling you. Listen to your Strategy and Authority. That is, any of the stages of transformation that are there in Variable, whether it is dietary regimen or environment or beginning the process of experimenting with passenger consciousness, are things that you can only approach when truly you're ready to approach them. It‘s one of the most important things to understand. Everybody has their timing. But in order to get anywhere in this journey, it is not just a matter of Strategy and Authority because frankly it is not sufficient. It is sufficient to give you a better life than you had before and it will certainly take you through seven years of deconditioning that will get you to a different place. But it isn't going to bring you the complete process. This is for those that are really ready to journey all the way to that place of awareness. It isn‘t for anybody.”
Ra Uru Hu, The Story Lines p.25 https://www.jovianarchive.com/Product...
“Oh, outer authority is an extraordinary thing. It‘s what you get from me. And what you notice is that it's interesting, don't you? This is what outer authority is. It‘s not whether you agree or not, like it or not, whatever the case may be. I know that there are many, many expressions of outer authority that I will not necessarily agree with. But it doesn't mean that I will not respect it, and it doesn't mean that I won't be interested. It just means that somebody else‘s unique outer authority isn't necessarily something I can grasp. But it will still be interesting. And it doesn't mean that the person who grasps it is ruled by it, because we are beings who operate out of our inner authority, not based on somebody else's authority over us. This is a whole new kind of communication. It is a communication that is there to expand the consciousness field. We are in dire need of the expression of outer authority. We are in dire need of it. We really are. “
Ra Uru Hu p8/9 RP External Color Book
“It's this seeing that is the greatest reward, because it's not about being in a hurry or not. It‘s not about that you have to or not. It isn't about the way somebody else goes through this process. It isn't about any of those things because nothing is like you. Only you are the witness, only you. To be a witness of this kind of transformation is how you change your frequency. The deeper you enter into the realm of the passenger, the quieter everything becomes. The back seat of my limo is soundproof, frequency-proof in a way. It's very quiet in there; still. It‘s something that comes out of the signature of any being. And all of that is something you cannot chase. You cannot claim. It‘s what I like about this process. It‘s what makes it so clean. You live it yourself, you live it one breath at a time, and you get to see for yourself. It is in the seeing. And the more you are looking to see, then the less the homogenized world has to do with yo,u and the more you begin to see the way in which you were intended to see and it changes everything. Your perception changes the way you conceptualize. And because it is your perception, you‘re good at. This is what your conceptualizing mind is waiting for.”

How to get the most out of your Human Design Analyst Training experience
Cheers to a 2022 Without Expectations - Human Design Rave New Year
In this article we'll be taking a brief look at the Human Experiential Way, the evolutionary process of our species and how our human experience on the planet is changing, including a big picture perspective from Ra and some personal experiences from me.
As every Rave New Year begins with the Sun in the 41st Gate, it kickstarts what is called 'the Human Experiential Way', an emotional stream of feeling running from the Root Center to the Throat Center via the Solar Plexus. It brings forth our burning desire to manifest new experiences and feel.
RA URU HU (Line Companion, 271-272):
"Transit: Uranus in 41.6
The Human Design System is a Uranian system, and wherever Uranus goes in the wheel is significant for humanity. Every 84 years, Uranus comes to the 41st gate. This time that Uranus is there, it is going to initiate an 84 year cycle that will culminate with the beginning of this transition. It will take well over a thousand years for humanity to get to this sixth line. It will not happen tomorrow or in the next century. Evolution on the human scale is a very slow process. This emotional spirit consciousness has already been with us for thousands of years and yet, we did not have any tools to really be able to look at it until very recently.
In the children that are born with Uranus in 41, particularly those who are born with Uranus in the 41.6, they will begin the pull-back in this experiential way. They will be the first generation of abstract children (it is depending on the design) who do not seem to function that way. These children, in our time, over the next 20 years [Uranus left the 41.6 in January 1998], will be clinically looked at as repressed. "No, my Johnny does not want to try to ride a bicycle. I do not understand it. I can't get him on the bicycle. I think that he is afraid of bicycles." It is simply because this is beginning to work and Uranus is initiating this new experience, especially in the sixth line. Uranus will bring that out in the children, so that there is already this genetic field that is beginning to operate and the children who are born with the 41.6 will be alive deep into the next century. They carry this energy with them and keep the aura of this energy alive in the world. They are setting the foundation for this transition.
You can see some of that now in what people call the AIDS epidemic. One of the things about the stream 41 to 35 is that it is the most sexual of all the streams. It is literally rooted in sexuality for the experience and that experience can be anything. In that sense, you can already see that this repression of those things is something that will come very strongly.
You will have a reaction to this in the environment until all of the experiences, the feelings and desires that we acquaint with being human will slowly be repressed, be restricted, so that we can become more and more organized without constantly being dragged out of the organization by the need of the abstract person to have a different kind of feeling. "You are designed to be an architect". "I know but I have this feeling that I want to be an astronaut." The planet has to eliminate this other side that automatically pulls you to say, "Yes, but wouldn't it be great if...?"
For us, nothing that I am describing is particularly pleasant. For us, we are part of the aura of the fifth line where we give authority to experience. Without experience, you do not know. That is why we have virtual reality. Nobody gets the experience. We already have vast movements at work to take us out of needing to physically have the experience ourselves, and yet, we have come into the world in a time where it still has its authority. We will have its authority for hundreds of years. There will be a great reaction to that. In your work over the next years, it is important to recognize that, as these children are coming on a stream, particularly children that come with the 41.6, they cannot be pushed into the experiential way by their parents. They will become very ill because they are the first generation that is there not to get pulled into that. They have to be aloof from it.
The experiential drive is coming to an end. The whole experiential nature of being human is coming to an end. In other words, we are at the flourishing of that. We are getting so many experiences. We are collecting so much data. We will now go down the other side. Ever since Neptune left 61, we are going down the other side, the other slope. Everything is being reduced. We start to pull things back. We are not driven into new experiences anymore. We are locked into old experiences, trying to stay alive and survive and flourish. We will not look for something new, but we will go back to the basics.
The deepest event in the next century will be that the fertility capacity in humans will be devastated. We have to go back to basic things and be very well organized in order to keep the species alive. We will not be able to tolerate all kinds of drives for different experiences when the species itself is threatened. These are all mechanisms that will come into work in the next century.
From: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jul/11/richard-branson-virgin-galactic-space
It is like the project to Mars. They spend 256 million dollars to get there. They are spending about 1/2 million dollars a day tracking it. When somebody comes along in the next century and says, "Okay, now that we have gone to Mars, why don't we go to Pluto?" There will be people who say, "Wait a minute. Why? We could take all of this money and give it to starving children and poor people." We have to stay with the basics of what we need to have to be organized properly. It is not to say that we won't do things, but the pragmatism of what it is to keep humanity alive will restrict the way we use resources. That is what the 41 is all about. It is wonderful to look at the pictures they took of Mars, but we come to the point where people reject that. Resources have to go back into our hands to increase our fertility."
In a recent HumanDesign.Live post, I shared with you the animated video called 'Game B'.
If you haven't seen it yet, I invite you to check it out here and share your perspectives with me: https://www.humandesign.live/posts/20075916/comments/53671731
In this video, the creators are exploring a narrative of who we are as a collective in this moment in time, and what would be needed for us to navigate safely into the future. They offer their big picture overview and how an individual who has 'woken up' can find purpose and meaning in keeping the species alive during a time of ecological collapse.
There's plenty to be discussed about that, as I'm sure many of you are feeling the changes and are seeing a whole spectrum of conditioned propaganda about this fly by your information feed on a daily basis.
What is an ongoing puzzle for me is the disentangling from moralising crusades, naïve idealism, and all sorts of homogenized spiritual ideas that still have a rooting in the mind, but have no grounding in my actual Design. I notice in me the urge to pull away from many 'movements' and networks I would have identified and associated myself with before in the fear for my survival. At the same time I still care about how we navigate into the future together and understand we need to get organized, I get splenic hits all the time when I see people engaging in regenerative initiatives and experimenting their way into bioregional organization and maintenance of ecosystem capacities.
The dilemma for my mind is how to be connected to what I see unfolding correctly. The Not-Self wants to get deeply involved in order to 'lead the change' (my Colour Motivation Transference from Innocence to Blind Desire). I would love for my work to connect to the soils in a regenerative circle - and I'm not there now. My Not-Self mind judges this and does its best to compel me to do something about it, using all the pain points it can possibly find in my psyche, constructing a false image of myself as some kind of parasite. There's a blind desire in me to be part of something 'good', but it's a misguided mental distraction.
Letting go of morality is a heavy one. Lately, this is something I've been noticing in my students with an Undefined Solar Plexus as they mirror my own process. Being 'good' is part of having a social persona that won't be emotionally challenged or confronted. We get around by playing nice as people-pleasers. And it isn't just about getting everybody's seal of approval because you comply with their conditioned moral standards. It's also about not getting bullied by the Not-Self voice in the head for being a schmuck whenever you're facing a mirror.
Underlying this behaviour can be various kinds of amplified emotional fears of conflict (like the fear of nature in the 49th Gate, for example). The source of all of them is being revealed for who and what you truly are. And the Not-Self does not want to be exposed, especially in its misidentification of being secretly a 'bad' and inauthentic person underneath all of the facades (which is just as false as being a 'good' person). It is ready to blame others but does not want to be blamed for the crash of the wave itself. The outcome is a mountainous weight of expectations about being or not being 'something' that can allow conditioned desires to be fulfilled. And this finally translates into carrying the burden of experiential guilt on one's shoulders and inside our shared emotional field.
As long as there are expectations relative to the Human Experiential Way and in our relationships, as long as we are attached to getting something out of it, as long as we are trying to strategically manipulate our way from the desire through the crisis and into the manifestation of our fantasy of progress, as long as we're trying to lock in the next experiential orgasm or the feeling of finally being free - in other words, as long as we're trying to control what happens next based on whatever we think 'should' happen, then experiential guilt will be our fate.
I was contemplating these things yesterday, inspired in part by my interactions with my LYD students, and then finally had an epiphany about my own process in relation to this Not-Self strategy of running away from emotional confrontation. There were things that really needed to be seen and expressed, but that I had been too afraid of before. And I could see this was creating a duality in the psyche. On the one hand it left me trapped as a 2/5 to endlessly keep up with everyone's expectations, internalizing them as my own. And on the other it bound other people to my unreasonable expectations.
There was an additional curiosity here that I had been wearing old winter clothing from the brand Spyder. I was not actively pursuing that as something to identify with. I was not looking for a spirit animal or an expensive brand to show off with. But eventually it did capture my attention and I walked with it in awareness. Then when I finally sat outside to reflect on the transition into the Rave New Year, and whether or not I had any unfinished business left, I noticed a spider weaving its web not too far away from me.
And I recognized the web of expectations I was caught in, and how deep that rabbit hole went. It was beautiful to be taught by nature directly through its archetypal symbolism and fractals. Layer after layer the whole complex disclosed itself to me. I could see the Not-Self spider trapping people in my network in the hope of getting something out of them. Keeping track of everything through disturbances in the field. And on the other hand, I could see myself as being the one who was trapped by all of that. I could see how all my other Undefined Centers played into it and how it was detracting from my health and truth in relationships, setting me up for abuse.
(I could have read this on a divination card somewhere, but it probably wouldn't have done the trick. I had to come to that conclusion through my own reflection.)
Eventually this underlying drive of putting myself under the pressure of expectation dissolved for a while and I felt the peace of simply allowing things to be no more and no less than what they are in the here and now. Then also felt an aching body that had been carrying the pain of that for a long time, grateful to finally just be held in its own nature. There was an enjoyment of being able to feel the pain as opposed to resist and futz with it.
And in this I found the empowerment to speak up according to what felt instinctively correct and necessary for me to address.
The Rave I'Ching suggests that freedom on the material plane is an illusion (No Choice, we're not in control, etc.). From my perspective then, this freedom that I yearned for was to be free from expectation and blame. And to just let the experience of life be what it is. It already is in perfect accordance with my Design - it can't be anything else. I don't need anything extra.
So to close this chapter, I encourage moving through this Solar week of fantasizing without expectations, without the mental shenanigans to try and 'make it so' - however beautiful or morally just it may all appear to be.
If you're here to take care of the soils and steward the future, life will bring it your way and your body will resonate with it.
Thanks for reading and I wish you well in this new year,
Hagen
2027 is near, are you ready?
Remember, when we get to 2027 there is not going to be a 19/49 in the background frequency at all. It’s not going to be there. We’re not going to have this background support, that we are all in this bargain together. You see it all the time on Facebook, the ‘we are one,’ the one-ness of everything. We’re all one.
Yeah, we’re all one; you wait and see what happens when we get to 2027, you’ll discover that we’re not one. This was the background frequency.
We get to 2027, 2027 says, “hey, excuse me; you’re on your own.” That’s what the Sleeping Phoenix is, three individual gates and a 59th gate that hardly is going to carry much tribal quality.
There is this incredible movement, day by day, this 19/49 system is slowly deteriorating. It just is. It’s so interesting that it’s the channel of Synthesis. When we entered into the 1st line theme in 1960 we basically entered into the window of opportunity between then and 2027 to get to the Inner
Truth, one of the keys in the lock-and-key system of this cycle. Because the synthesis is going to break down, the way in which our societies are interwoven at all of these various levels, that slowly is going to come to an end.

Happy 1st Anniversary HumanDesign.Live!
The Design of Forms via Jovian Archive
Our aim: connect and enhance our Fractal Family virtual communion.
We provide an online home for sharing multiple websites' information divided into interesting Topics you can subscribe to, engaging social media interaction, online teaching, virtual events, and video streaming/watching, all in one place!
This place is valuable because of YOU and your sharing so that together we have a connection with those who value learning about and experimenting with HD.
When I first started studying this system ten years ago, there weren't many options for talking about HD in a safe place except live classes. I dreamed of having a place like this to continue the journey for so long!
My first attempt was creating a Facebook page in 2013 and then the Human Design System Facebook group as a Projector class in 2014 which changed to a general group in January of 2017. I started new groups for each of the classes I was able to teach; ABC, Cartography, BG5 Foundations, Analyst Training, and a handful more sub-interests!
Of course, it became too overwhelming (enough was enough!). I kept getting further and further behind private messages - too many people asking for guidance. Especially as a Jovian Archive social media PR representative with so many 5th lines, lots of strangers came to me with all kinds of HD questions.
When I no longer worked there as the social media rep, I knew it was time to spread our wings and fly into our own private space here, where we can experiment together and share our experiences.
Here, there are no privacy issues of your private information and data being sold and shared to third parties.
Here, we can focus without being distracted by ads (whew!).
It was a challenging decision to leave Facebook, but after a year, we truly have a thriving home of our own to learn, share and grow together!
I'm so happy we took the risk.
To recap, here are a couple of the core benefits here:
To leave behind ads and unrelated posts, by being in our own space away from the distractions of social media.
To make it easier to access different Human Design topics that interest you, by having them all gathered in one spot for perusal and discussion.
To have a place that allows us the freedom to express our discoveries and share our journey along the path of celebrating our unique awareness!
Privacy and Visibility
New here?
Think of this special virtual space as a combination of our traditional websites, in-house social media, learning platform, and now a video streaming/sharing site with recent upgrades.
As with each of these other places (which are usually separate spaces) our virtual Human Design Home offers different visibility and capability to members than to the general public.
Here's a description of what can be seen and done by whom in the different places in our virtual Human Design home, so you know how to choose the privacy/visibility that you want.
Why
After a year of experimenting with this platform, we are clear on renewing our subscription and having both public and private areas as an intentional choice in building this virtual Human Design home.
Public visibility allows people who are looking for human design system knowledge, support, and information offered by our certified Human Design Professionals to find and benefit from it.
Think of the public areas here as a place to help bring together everything that has public visibility on our many Human Design websites, social media groups, pages, and channels. No more having to log in everywhere else to focus on the learning adventures with your Human Design fractal family (and being distracted in the meantime)!
This allows for us to coordinate stepping you through the information in our programs, topics, and events in ways that allow you to discuss with the people here who are on a similar journey of deconditioning and awakening to being their own Authority.
Private areas allow deeper connections around a specific level of time, interest or experience in the Human Design experiment. Online programs, workshops, virtual or in-person events, and our Facebook groups are examples of this type of private space outside of our Human Design home, that now we coordinate here instead to deepen our support levels, to offer comradery and a safe, distraction free continuity so precious in this increasingly challenging day and age.
Being a member of this site gives you full access to the public spaces and the opportunity to join the private spaces that interest you.
Most importantly and valuably: our feed is YOURS to populate with the people and topics that interest you.

Do you want to go here to view and/or edit your profile now?Any courses that have a Join Us button (not a Request Access, Buy, or Subscribe button) are public areas.

Course areas
These are places here in our virtual HumanDesign.LIVE home that you can only see if you are a member of that particular course.
When you click on a member's profile, you'll see at the bottom what courses that person has also taken here. This allows you to know where they are at in their learning journey and us to check who has taken what here for certification purposes.
Resources and programs that have a Request Access, Buy or Subscribe button (not a Join button) are private spaces. Depending on the space, membership comes by paying or by requesting access and being approved.
What
The public does not have access to our private course and group spaces.
Others cannot see inside or act on anything inside a private course area. This means they cannot RSVP to events, comment, like or share anything there.
General public (this includes search engines) has read-only access to our public spaces.
Without a login, others cannot access our home here using the phone or tablet app. From a browser, others can see what we post and they can read replies (comments) on posts in the general areas. People who are not logged in cannot add comments, RSVP, or engage with us.
General members do have read/write access to public spaces.
When logged in, you can access our site using the Mighty Network phone app, tablet app, or any browser. General members can see what the admin team posts and act on the posts. They can also share comments, RSVP to events, and click links in posts.
Other benefits of being a general member include being able to privately chat with other members and to be notified of specific activity they choose.
Please note: direct soliciting privately is not encouraged nor allowed, and will result in removal from our site. Please respect the privacy of people's message inbox!
Please consider reporting anyone who is spamming you, to us at the email below.
General members do not have access to private areas, unless they are a member of that area.
This means course members can see what is posted, post, and act on posts within their private areas. They can see who the other members are and chose to be notified (as desired) about activity in that area.
Private course members have the same access as general members AND they have read/write access to the private resource or program that they belong to.
We trust you will do with this information whatever is correct for your Authority.
Warmly,

Will, can you feel that loving your body means accepting that just because you can get into someone’s personal space does not mean it’s correct for you to be intimate with them?

Can you dedicate yourself to learning through cultivating awareness - observe, question, listen, offer compassion? Walk the path first, no one knowingly follows a hypocrite, and you won't be effective in guiding them if you're not LIVING this knowledge.
