I was 11 years old when I discovered a book called “History of Religions”, written by Mircea Eliade, in my family’s library. I found this book, and I got fascinated by it, by the multitude of possibilities for someone to believe in something. I already knew that some people have different believes, gods named differently, but I never before saw all of them together, in a synthesis. Little did I know at that time that my 1st line was responsible with my investigative side. I got magnetized by that book, and then, I needed to know more. So, I started reading the holy books of all the religions I could find. In the same time, going through high school, I was introduced to new subjects, as Logic and Psychology. Philosophy was also there, but I never really engaged with it. The same happened with History, which at that time, seemed like an ordeal capable of freezing time. It was just dates and events and no real connection between them for my mind to grasp onto. It took me another 10 years, after graduating from high school, to get interested in and include in my mind puzzle the subject called History.
I always loved putting together data and making bigger pictures out of it. It was this skill that I used that was my first experience with Human Design. Unconsciously, I loved just gathering information for the sake of it and creating bigger pictures. I had later to discover that this was the basis of my design, my personal foundation, to become a “mountain of information”. But back then, I was just interested in everything I could read, about all the symbols, believes, superstitions, but also faith, trust and the various relationships between all these. I had the feeling that there is more, much more than what we perceive and do on a daily basis. I had the feeling that all the religions and systems of believes were here to ease the mind, give it a clear structure and explain somehow that which cannot be perceived. I was to find out, through Human Design again, that all this feeling and need for understanding was also part of my 1st line.
But information and data is nothing if not used for a higher purpose, for an action that can improve one’s life. I looked for a way to put together everything I knew and experimented and to draw an outline of what this experience called “Life” is. Therefor I started going to different workshops about the human mind, psychology and different types of systems and techniques to keep the mind and body in shape.
The ideas I could draw as a conclusion were that we all look for purpose in life, we all have hopes and concerns, we all feel lonely sometimes and we would all like to have just a bit of saving, once in a while. We try to figure out what and why is happening to us, how the world works and how we can feel better and have a more pleasant life. We all have a body that degrades if we don’t take care of it, we all need to eat, rest and live. Our stories may seem from the exact same movie although we were born in opposite places on this planet. None of us wants to harm or be harmed, and we all try to do our best to survive and have a life. I met people from different cultures, with different traditions, clothing and way of thinking, but the basis was always the same: a human being trying to find their way.
I had the fortune of encountering only the right people in these workshops and reunions, or maybe it was just me following my Authority. I had a big amount of things to learn from all the conversations and interactions I had. Until, one day, all that knowledge didn’t feel enough, and applying the known strategies didn’t lead to the same expected results. That is when my mind felt like, again, there must be more. There has to be a manual for how everything works! There must be a way to draw the pattern of the world that surrounds us, it must all be logical and understandable! If only there was a manual for… life!
And there was! But the first time I was introduced to Human Design it was about 8 years ago. My mind was not ready yet, and I was missing experience and understanding to go through with it. I found out I was a Manifesting Generator and that was about it. I tried looking it up a bit but it was just too much information, and too abstract for what I needed at that time. And that was OK. Human Design is a system for which one has to be ready, it can’t be taught by force. It is a system that takes time to be processed, it doesn’t give anyone any solutions over night. It is something that you read about, put the book down, go and experience and live, and understand what you just read. It also made me see things that I can’t un-see, brought acceptance for the world and life as is. It gave my mind the “Why’s” and “How’s”, while still leaving it on it’s own to figure out how to apply all of that.
Human Design is a system that you could say is based on I’Ching, Astrology, Physics, Mathematics and Numerology. In my opinion, a system that includes and covers it all was gold for my mind. I love synthesized information, all in one place, all together. I also find interesting that it’s founder, Ra Uru Hu (born Alan (Robert) Krakower, in Canada) never asked anyone to blindly believe anything he said, nor he asked to be followed or deified. He always asked people to try for themselves, see if they feel like it and how it works.
It all begins with knowing, as good as possible, your birth date, place and time. And from there, it’s a whole new universe! You can keep it at a simple level trying to figure out first your Authority and Strategy, listen to them and see how that goes. The next step could be in understanding the different defined centers, channels and gates. It is complex and you can search into it and complicate it as you wish, or keep it simple and easy. It takes years to decondition, which is to find out who you truly are and what is healthy and right for you, out of all the influence of the other people and the society. We are of different types, different definitions, every design and chart is unique. There are billions of combinations possible, but in the end, the gates and the basis are the same. It speaks about what we can bring into the world, skills, talents and gifts, of how we could use them properly for our own benefit and for the ones around us. It finally gives a manual to what and how could be done, what would be the mental hygiene for a person to make them feel good through this journey. I found that Human Design goes very well, hand in hand, with other deconditioning techniques like meditation, breathing exercises and even gardening! It closed the circle and brought the last pieces of the puzzle together.
We can all experiment an awesome journey on this rock called Earth, floating through space. And each of us has their own, unique path and way.
