Lesson 1
From Pressure to Conceptualization
What is consistent in our lives, and how are we differentiated? Where do essence, our life force, and our gifts show up in our chart? In this first lesson, Ra introduces the Channels and pressure Centers, and focuses on the three Channels between the Head and the Ajna. Learn which beings exert the most influential conditioning forces on the planet, and how Channels reveal how we can operate correctly.

Lesson 2
The Metamorphic Life Forces
The Channels between the Ajna and the Throat pinpoint the most human aspect of our evolutionary process. With the mutation of the dropping of the larynx came the ability to articulate, which distinguishes us from all other life forms and gives us an enormous advantage. Learn how these metamorphic life forces enable the Personality to express individual experience as a means of communicating uniqueness.

Lesson 3
Integration: The Survival Force
What defines Integration? The channels that form the circuit of Integration lie at the core of our individuality and mark the strategic survival zone, that which helps us stay alive. Those who carry Integration are deeply individual, non-social “lone wolves.” But without the emphasis on individual survival, would the Tribe and Collective be able to survive? Learn what the Integration Channels can teach each of us about how to survive and operate in the world.

Lesson 4
The Forces of Expressed Identity
The three Channels between the Throat and G Center present a force that goes beyond the individual process. These energies are designed to have impact, and to influence others. The way in which we operate in the world is rooted here, and the expression of these forces guarantees the survival of the group. Understand the inherent patterns within these channels that help abate the insecurity of humans.

Lesson 5
The Tantric Forces
For most people, the word “Tantra” is associated with sex. In terms of Human Design, Tantra is not connected with sex; rather, the Tantric forces that form the connection betwen the Sacral and the G Center are fundamental to the way in which we live our lives, while their dysfunction contributes to the great ailments on this planet. Learn how to apply these powerful Tantric energies for true direction and identity in your life.

Lesson 6
The Formats
The Format Channels between the Sacral Center and Root Center are pressurized energies that drive us hard, and as Not-Self, lock us into the rat race of life. These energies exert a powerful influence on all Channels and the Design as a whole. Each of us can find nuances of the Format energies in our charts. Ra demonstrates how to work with these pressures in a positive way.

Lesson 7
Experimental & Experiential Forces
Humans learn by doing. The experiential and experimental Channels are part of the Collective Circuitry that contains and maintains the world. The experimental side investigates the pattern of life and looks to fix what does not work, while the human experiential way describes the living, feeling, breathing journey through life. Learn how we can move along this earthly plane differently from others, and express our uniqueness without adhering to rules.

Lesson 8
The Mutating Forces
The Individual Channels represent our deepest creative potential to enrich our lives and bring us to a place of unique knowing. This is a mutative force that is driving Individuality toward its ultimate expression. The most creative thing anyone can do is to discover and express themselves uniquely. What is your ultimate expression? Are you expressing yourself through homogenized concepts — or as a differentiated work of art?

Lesson 9
The Forces of Preservation
The Channels of Preservation are grounded in the genetic Role Gates. Their theme is not just preservation of the individual, but rather that of the human species. With the coming of 2027, this life force is going to change its focus. How can we help future generations persevere during this mutative transition? Learn how the individual can become liberated from the program’s overwhelming momentum toward the future.

Lesson 10
The Supporting Forces
The supporting Channels are conditioned by genetics, and hold our society together; they are the glue that locks us into our way of life. This is the Tribe with its need to grow, to control the environment, and maintain its economies. But as Nine-Centered beings, we are operating within a very different matrix in deeply transformational times. What does this mean for the Tribe and our society as a whole?

Lesson 11
The Forces of Diversity | The Heart Center and the Tribe
This final lesson focuses on two of the Channels coming out of the Ego (Heart) Center. One Channel describes the power of the Tribe through its particular dynamics; the other the Individuality of uniqueness. Each carries different energies and focus, and yet there exists a deep and necessary relationship between these two Channels. Now is the time to see our unique potential, and Human Design provides the techniques necessary to fulfill that potential.
