The Personality Crystal, Design Crystal and the Magnetic Monopole

The Personality Crystal, Design Crystal and the Magnetic Monopole

When you think about Design, a wonderful place to go is here in the center of the G Center, the identity. In here, we have what's called the Magnetic Monopole, that which holds us together in the illusion of our separateness; it is an illusion. This connection between the Design and the Personality is not a comfortable connection, and the mind itself is not equipped to actually be able to guide the life.

In the earliest introductions to Human Design, one of the analogies that I used and one that remains so deeply important is that here in the Head Center is the Personality Crystal, and in the Ajna Center is the Design Crystal, and in the G Center is the Monopole. When you think about these things, the fundamental relationship between the Design and the Monopole—the builder of the body—is that in this context the Design is the vehicle, and the Magnetic Monopole is the driver.

Now, something to think about is that we're objects moving in space. It is one of the fundamental things of physics. And in these objects moving in space, we all have, in fact, a trajectory. That trajectory, in essence, is this very movement of what we call life.

And within the context of the mechanics of the BodyGraph, it is this relationship between the Monopole and the Design that is the engine and the force of the life. It is the life; the mind is not the life. The mind stuck out here at the top of the graph, outside of the body, in a sense, is a passenger. We are a passenger consciousness. We are a passenger consciousness in a vehicle, and we have to stop interfering with the correctness of that vehicle and its natural ability to give us the life that is correct for us if we stop interfering with our minds.

The Potential for Differentiation

The I’Ching and the Hexagrams

When I was first given the knowledge, and I’ve obviously been talking about that a lot recently (in Rave Cosmology 1: Bhan Tugh), one of the areas that was integral to the knowledge and an area that I literally had absolutely no background in was ...

The Epitome of What’s Possible in Profile: Natural Teaching vs. Mental Teaching

It all goes back to fear. The natural teachers are the 5/1s and the 4/1s. These are the natural teachers. The juxtapositions that are here through their fixed fate to deeply influence those people that they know, and the 5/1 that's here to univers...

The Abstract System

The only time I began to understand how significant the Abstract process really is, was when I began to look deeply into the relationship between Human Design and genetics. It took me a long time because I do not have an Abstract mind at all. I ha...

The 52nd Gate: Temporary and self-imposed inaction

The Sacral keeps going until it’s exhausted. Its natural tendency is to be deeply, deeply connected simply to its energy flow. And the 52nd Gate says, ‘Will you sit down for a minute. Can’t you just sit down?’ It’s like in the early years when I w...

Awareness Frequency

Personality Sun: Filter of the Neutrino Ocean

Humans Needed the Mystical Way

The Gates of Fear: 18 & 28

This fear of Authority begins with the archetype of the mother and the father. The 18th Gate is the Oedipus-Electra Gate. It is here that we begin to examine the opposite sex, that we begin to challenge whether or not the foundation they are estab...

Tapping into your Life Force

At the very basis of Human Design is a goal — the goal to liberate the self, the being, the unique being, the individual. And of course, the only way you can do that is you have to move away from mind, because there is no way in which you can live...

The Costumes of Life

The Fates and Gate 30

Logic is always seeking the perfect pattern, and the perfect pattern is possible. But for the Abstract, there can be no such thing. The great tragedy of the Abstract process and the Human Experiential Way is when you stand at the beginning, in t...

Seekers

I've seen so many seekers at this point in my career that in some ways, it's disheartening. There is a Channel in the BodyGraph, the 11/56, which is the Channel of Curiosity. It’s the Design of the Seeker, and one of the melodramas is that it’s ...

Introduction to the Gates of Melancholy

As someone who has dealt with melancholy all of my life, and spent most of my life not understanding the nature of melancholy, simply manifesting my way through it, Human Design finally gave me an insight into one of the most extraordinary proc...

Logic and Perfection

Logic has something that no other form of awareness has: It can actually pursue perfection. If you're Abstract, this is what torments you in your life; the assumption that perfection exists for you, because in the Abstract way there is no such t...

For now: Survival is Funny and Life is Serious

It is an ancient debate, a classic duality: Comedy and Tragedy. There is the proverbial banana peel, the one who slips on it has a tragic fall and the witness can’t help but laugh. Are they just different faces of the same root, as so many have im...

Melancholy and Mutation

Understanding What Chemistry Is I think that the deepest teaching in Human Design is the understanding of what chemistry is. We need to be able to get it across to our students—and I'm not talking about our casual interaction with introducing De...

Incarnation Cross, Purpose, and the Unique Life

Purpose is an interesting concept for the mind; that there must be some higher valuation than the physical life of the body, a reason for this personal existence, and that there is something that must be done or accomplished. Fame, fortune, love, ...
