The conditioning of the open Heart Center goes the deepest of all the open centers.  I continually see how true this is for myself.  How deep is the pressure of the outer world to always have to be somebody. I was discussing the Heart Center in one of my recent classes and the importance of the heart’s need to rest. Defined or open, we have to find the right relationship to rest. Most of us don't know how to rest. We don't recognize the value of rest. Until it's too late, at least. Or when life finds a way to make us rest. Everyone, in some way in their design, needs to find the rig ..read more

As a 59 Personality Sun, I’ve spent my life exploring and experimenting with intimacy in many forms.  Whether personally or professionally, people have always felt safe to open up to me and I’ve taken that role to heart and I’ve enjoyed exploring how deep we can meet each other, sometimes pushing the edges (I am a third line too).  In-to-me-see.   In the Human Design world, it’s entertaining to see how people often seem to equate intimacy with sex and they get excited at the prospects of the 59, or the 59-6, since it is really the channel that does potentially bring an element ..read more

The one-way-fits-all approach to anything is a homogenized approach. We don’t have to look very far to see the seven-centered homogenized thinking in the world all around us. Everyone loves to tell other people what to do, what to think, how to feel, how to be. Seven-centered thinking relies on an antagonistic view. It has been an important aspect of developing self-reflected consciousness to differentiate “us versus them”. So while we know it served a purpose for a long time, we have still been raised/conditioned in this mentality, and it’s easy to miss our own natural defaults to homogenized ..read more

As we come to know ourselves as nine-centered beings, it is going to be a natural part of our mutative process to recognize where and how we are still conditioned and surrounded by the seven-centered paradigms, which is essentially all about the mind and our mental development of the last 90,000 years.  It doesn’t take much to look around and see how the mind distorts, confuses, and projects its madness into our world.  Recalling my own personal journey, I remember it was around sixteen years old, I began to really question the meaning of life and began my quest to go beyond the supe ..read more

In my design, I have Sacral Authority and am also Splenic in my definition.  I am a Manifesting Generator (Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix) with the Channel of Charisma (34-20), which, we say, is a design where thoughts must become deeds or mechanically speaking, where we must manifest our vital energy in the moment according to whatever we respond or, in the not-self, react to.  So much of my design mechanics are about being in the moment.  Maybe you have a similar design with Sacral and/or Splenic definition.  The deeper I go into my experiment, I feel “planning impaired ..read more

If I had to find a beginning of this story, I would say it started one day in February of 2000 while I was travellng through Central America.  I was 22 years old, in San Marcos, Guatemala, sitting over a small, rocky cliff overlooking Lake Atitlan.  I got the message: “It’s time to turn around.  This is as far as you go for now.  Head back to Colorado where it will make more sense to buy a round trip ticket to Peru”.  I began retracing my steps from my last six months of travel where I had been celebrating the new millennium as a free man, mostly living on the beach a ..read more

As Generators, we are here to be satisfied.  We are here to learn what it means to enter into things correctly so we can use our life force energy towards things that make us feel good and naturally regenerate.  But we’ve lost touch with what makes us happy.  Sometimes those things feel like distant echoes from the past.  Sometimes those things were never found, which feels like an added anchor to our sometimes melancholic states. And layer upon layer of conditioning.  From relationships, family, society.  So how do you put fuel into your spaceship? Sometimes, com ..read more

Human Design shows us that everything in existence is part of a duality.  There is always the “this” and the “that”.  Human Design explains that we live in a Bi-Verse.  We see it in the bodygraph itself – the Personality and Design activations.  They are both two different calculations, but co-existing inside our forms.  This is where we sometimes encounter dilemmas in our experience, where one part of us has the imperative for one experience, in seeming contrast to another aspect of our being.  I call this the “grass is greener” syndrome.   I used to no ..read more

I’ve been doing readings as a certified analyst for several years now.  Many times I will check in or hear from my clients a few months after their initial Foundation Reading.  One thing I hear from some Generators is that they are still feeling frustrated about many things.  There is still a stuck energy with work, with relationships, with how to move forward in life.  So where is the resistance happening in their experiment? After some inquiry, I am seeing a few of the missing links.  Generators need to be asked.  You cannot ask yourself questions with your own ..read more
