Your True “Self”

Within the sanctity of your inner being, is your true self, a part that remains unseen.

Quietness, surrounded by joy and peace, filled with calmness, hidden until you seek.

It's uncluttered by your future or your past, only the "now, "the" present," is what lasts.

Your true self is eternal and must grow to new heights, your soul already knows.

For you to reach this sacred state of mind, release ego and the poisons that it finds.

Then surrender; trust in what you truly feel, but be aware of what is and isn't real.

  Samuel Zink

Integrity will guide you on your quest; let truth prevail to help you act your best.

If you can overcome the need to prove or win, then you will find your true self deep within.

And when united with your inner self, you will find there is no greater wealth.

 Eternity is real and so very divine, once your true self reveals itself to shine!

~Margaret I Jang

Going beyond horoscopes, Human Design posits that everyone is born with individuality as unique as a fingerprint.

The detailed personality readings Human Design provides empower people to make decisions…

… choose professions…

… and create relationships with ease and success because they are no longer struggling against innate strengths and weaknesses.

They are instead tapping into their personal power and destiny.

Understanding these readings allows people to align their actions with their inherent, truest self.

Chetan Parkyn, the foremost international practitioner of Human Design, now offers readers the tools to do their own readings (using a downloadable program), to map the life charts of friends and family, and even to explore the complete life charts of a variety of public figures.

Simple, accurate, and wonderfully detailed, Human Design unlocks human potential by answering the age-old question,

“Who am I”

Human Design is ripe for these changing times, encouraging us to meet our­selves head on and be responsible for who we are.

It is a system that takes the torch from the hand of astrology and carries it to the next level, provid­ing both an accurate guide for life and a self-assessment device.

Human Design is astrology's natural successor, something gold making way for some­thing new.

No longer will it be enough for human curiosity to simply ask of others:

"What is your sign?"

You will want and need to know more.

For example, if you were born under the sign of Libra, you'll already know how different you are from fellow Librans, and yet you have to read the same forecasts.

Without an in-depth astrological reading, you are collectively defined with a one size fits all label.

But Human Design, through this book, unveils and celebrates your unique individuality.

With that in mind, perhaps a better opening question for future social introductions could be…

 "Forget your sign; what's your design?"

So, how does it work?

Human Design draws from four ancient wisdom traditions to become a system in its own right that provides a technical looking design of the person you were born to be.

It uses data to determine your exact place­ment in time and space relative to the solar system and star fields around you at the precise moment of birth.

But whereas in astrology the sky is divided into twelve compartments (the signs of the zodiac), Human Design divides it into sixty four.

This correlates to two things:

*first, the sixty four codons of the human genetic code

*second, the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, a tool used by the Chinese to better understand human nature.

Each one of these sixty four compartments carries a unique meaning, allowing us to see, in depth, which character­istics make up our being.

We are all, in effect, human cells interacting within one giant energy ves­sel, the Universe, impacted by what is called a neutrino stream.

Neutrinos are minute particles that travel near the speed of light, passing through everything.

If we, as humans, live in an atmosphere of air, the Universe lives in an atmosphere of neutrinos.

These are the very emissions of all the stars in the sky, and our bodies are being bombarded by trillions of them every second of the day.

Because neutrinos have mass, they exchange informa­tion with everything they pass through, including us.

So, at the moment of birth, we are imprinted with neutrino information, which leaves a genetic thumbprint, determining the nature we will carry throughout life.

Imagine the sky above us divided into sixty four equal compartments.

Within each of these compartments there are star fields "breathing out" neutrinos, trillions at a time, in all directions.

These neutrinos pass through the planets, exchanging information as they go.

When those same neutrinos pass through us at the exact time of our birth, they leave that planetary flavored information embedded within us.

It's as if they gently "bump" our human vehicle as we enter the world, leaving an indelible impression on our beings and shaping how we are going to interact in life.

In 1987, when Human Design was first developed, neutrinos were merely a theory.

But proof arrived in the late 1990s when scientists in Japan and Canada established that neutrino particles change “flavors” and, therefore, must have mass.

This discovery, it was said, explained the "missing mass" of the Universe.

In these rapidly changing times, science is uncovering more and more about the mysteries of life.

Human Design is where science and spiritu­ality come together like never before to inform you about the essence of your life.

It provides a way of reading your genetic neutrino imprint, of seeing your own design.

When people first lay eyes on a Human Design life chart, it provokes a carbon copy reaction:

a puzzled frown forms across the brow and a bewildered voice asks:

"What-that's me?"

Yes, that's you, on the inside, the mechanics of your true nature laid bare on the page.

All those shapes, colors, lines, symbols, and numbers denote the person you were designed to be.

You are looking at the very core of your being -what makes you tick, what makes you function.

The software you downloaded creates the life chart based on two fac­tors: the first, the exact time, date, and place of your birth; and the sec­ond, a separate time, which it calculates, from a moment three months before birth the instant when the neocortex in the front lobe of the brain turns on and when the spirit is said to enter the body.

It's at this time that the soul "tunes in" to the physical vehicle it's been handed in life.

A natal astrological calculation is made based on the time and place of your birth and the planetary influences.

Then this calculation is com­puted and combined with three other ancient wisdoms: the chakra sys­tem, the I Ching, and the Kabbalah.

All this information combines to create a life chart.

One initial question I'm often asked is

"Does my design ever change?"

The truth of the matter is that during the course of your life you will be exposed to, and perhaps conditioned by, almost every facet and nuance of the different designs of other people.

But YOUR design is consistent and forever remains your true foundation.

It is unique and can always be relied on.

There is no need to be anyone other than who you are, because you have everything you need within your design to live a complete and fulfilling life.

This understanding should remove all thoughts of wanting to change something about yourself or trying to be like someone else.

There is no "good" or "bad" design, no "better" or "worse."

There is only authenticity.

Once you accept that and start to be yourself, everything around you starts to become clear.

The beauty of what lies within will become clear as we examine you, stage by stage, chapter by chapter, identifying the different ingredients that fuse to create the whole person.

So, in order to follow this book, keep your life chart in your hand or posted on a computer screen.

I'll be the driver, taking you on a journey.

You keep your eyes on the map, because each shape, color, channel, or number tells you so much about your inside story.

Thaddeas Acree THE GENERATOR

"Listen to Your Gut!”

A Generator has a defined Sacral, but neither this center nor any of the other motor centers…Heart, Emotions, and Root… are connected to the Throat by an active channel.

You are a work horse with endless life force energy radiating outward but don't find it that easy to make things happen.

Some effort is required before you get into your full stride and reach your potential.

You are designed not to initiate but to wait.

Your motto is: "Wait, respond, then get going!"

Being a Generator makes you relatively one paced but highly effective, and your momentum is a joy to watch because it is Sacral powered, therefore remarkably enduring.

You are the Duracell or Energizer battery that keeps on going and going when others are fading.

Your challenge is to know how and where to best apply this enormous energy.

Waiting for the right projects, opportunities, and people and honoring your gut response are your keys to finding fulfillment.

When you chase or initiate without waiting, life can go wrong.

It's when you attract oppor­tunity or respond after exercising patience that things tend to work out.

We live in a time when everyone wants to act now, get going, waste no time, achieve ASAP.

This expectation may taunt you into getting a move on, but don't be misled into thinking you must launch great initiatives.

You first need the energy to generate within you; only then is it capable and effective.

So sit down, be patient, and master the art of waiting to respond.

View yourself as a magnet and let people and openings seek you out.

And they will. It is an energetic law of life that magnets attract.

So if you are wailing something like, "Why does everything I start or chase turn out bad? " or " Why can he make those things happen but I can't?" my answer would be: "Because you haven't learned to wait and attract."

Don't initiate. Wait.

Your mistaken self-perception is that you have so much energy that you can automatically make things happen.

That's probably fueled by people describing you as purposeful and dedicated.

You walk into the workplace and your life-force energy radiates, lifting everyone else.

Here comes the real worker, the real juice -the Generator.

You can save the day -and you even believe this yourself.

Whether it feels right or not, you have a tendency to wade in and answer the call.

Hours later, you'll be head down, hard at work, and look up to find everyone has gone back to sleep.

Then you'll have a quiet word with yourself and ask:"Why does it always fall to me? Why did I ever get involved?"

What you must realize is that the only things that prove fulfilling are those that duly arrive after you have exercised patience openings or possibilities that arrive at your door or make your phone ring.

Then what's crucial is your response.

This response is governed by a built-in guidance system, the Sacral gut response, signaling who and what warrants your commitment.

This is the core secret of your inner being, one that opens the doorway to what's right for you.

You'll recognize this gut sensation in the form of an involuntary reflex or sound, or the rising or contracting of energy, pulling you to or pushing you away from something.

The sound is that familiar "uh-huh" which says "yes" or that "uh-uh" that says “no.”

You need to attune to this sen­sation because it is, quite literally, your built-in indicator.

You'll sense your gut in response to questions that people ask of you: "Can I ask for your help?"

"Do you want to go on a date?" or “Are you hun­gry?"

But it also kicks in with much more profound questions that life asks.

Test yourself the next time someone asks you something, but be aware that you might be waiting for an instantaneous gut response and, half a second later, the Mind will get involved.

Don't allow it to distract you.

That's not where your answer lies.

Listen to your gut.

Also, observe inner musings that don't require a direct question.

If you are sitting in a restaurant, looking at a menu, going through the entree choices, your "uh-huh" or "uh-uh" will kick in.

Listen to your gut.

Your process is played out thus: wait for what life offers, listen to your gut response, then get going.

~ Gayle is a Generator and has learned more and more to tune in to ~ her gut response.

She was once being pursued by four potential suitors and was torn about to whom she should commit.

After a Human Design reading, she needed to distance herself from the fog of her fears and presumptions, none of which played a part in a natural gut response.

She stood in her bedroom, looked in the mirror, and created a yes/no question for her gut to answer.

One by one, she named the four men. "Should I go out with Doug?" She felt that "uh-uh" for no.

"Should I go out with Marshall?" Again, she felt "uh-uh."

"Should I go out with Michel? "Once more, "uh­ uh."

Finally, she came to Nick and felt a clear "uh-huh."

There was her "yes" answer.

Somewhere in her being, Nick resonated with her, and this was her clear guidance to give him a chance.

The mistake Generators can make is to think too much, allowing the Mind to override the Sacral.

When this fog blurs the gut response, you find yourself committing to all kinds of wrong people and wrong pur­suits.

And then, the trouble for the Sacral is that once it is committed, it has to follow through and complete the experience, however inappro­priate or ill-fitting.

Quitting is a poor option -and this is one thing that requires understanding because once your energetic momentum gets going, it's engaged.

Your nature builds up such a head of steam by wait­ing and waiting that it doesn't know how to stop the momentum.

It's like asking a thundering express train to stop at a moment's notice.

As a non Generator, you might see people running toward disaster but you'll be powerless to stop them.

You must wait for them to return to their senses in their own time exhausted, unfulfilled, and ready to try again.

Generators must be wary of other people seeking to harness their energy, to take advantage of them.

A lot of them are found in the service industry, on the factory floor, or as assistants, secretaries, and personal trainers, with a treadmill-like momentum that keeps things ticking like clockwork.

That's because Generators provide the juice for most things.

If you are a Generator, you represent 37percent of the world's popula­tion and appear to be someone with enough power to raise the dead.

Your energy turns heads when you enter a room.

You're viewed as capable and unflagging.

I bet you're someone who rolls out of bed, cooks breakfast, drops the kids off at school, goes to work, gives your all, fixes other peo­ple's stuff, works out at lunchtime, impresses the boss some more in the afternoon, goes home, does the laundry, fixes the dinner, bathes the chil­dren, puts them to bed, then turns to your partner and collapses in a heap.

No one, except other Generator types, can hope to keep up with you.

The problem is that you can arrive at the end of your days feeling you've accomplished a lot but still feeling unfulfilled.

That's because, in large part, you've just been going through the motions.

Life is not just about ticking boxes and keeping others happy.

Herein lies the key to a Generator design: only engage with people and activities that resonate; oth­erwise, you'll discover the flip side to your type and become the pure couch potato who has given up, exhausted with life and fed up trying.

Or you can become someone who is wiped out, prone on your bed, waiting for energy to be regenerated.

I would also advise everyone not to throw too much, all at once, at a Generator.

However capable and energetic they seem, there's only so much responding they can do.

You'll know they've reached their limit when their hands go up and they say: "Enough!"

Or when, feeling over­whelmed, they simply ask for space.

As parents of Generator children, your task is to clue them into their gut response if you want them and you to avoid tears and frustra­tion.

There is no point in handing a child a trumpet and expecting him or her to master it if it doesn't resonate with the child.

It's a waste of time for dads to coach their boys in baseball or football if this fails to excite.

Parents need to understand the distinction between their expectations for their children and what actually resonates with those children.

Likewise in relationships, it is asking for trouble to declare to your Generator lover that you've decided what you're doing for the weekend and drag your partner off to the beach for a picnic without first sounding out his or her gut response.

Partners should learn to ask Generators ques­tions that start with queries such as "Would you like to do this today?" or "Do you think it's a good idea if we ... ?"

Don't worry about being "man enough" and taking control; honor the Generator nature, not the ego.

These people require consultation if your relationship is to work. Over the years, I've met thousands of Generators and have tried to point out what makes them tick.

Some of them get it straightaway, but far too many have fallen prey to conditioning and are slogging away as work­ horses in situations where their unstinting efforts are taken for granted. 

It is indisputable that wrong people and projects will fly high because of a Generator's input, but that's not the point to their life.

They need to find where their amazing source of energy is best directed and appreciated.

Geraldine is a hardworking mother with three delightful but extremely demanding children.

She saw it as her duty to fulfill any demands they asked of her at anytime.

However, despite the pleasure she derived from this, she was exhausted and more than a little frustrated that she rarely had the time and energy for anything else.

In a classic Genera­tor situation, the attention and demands of others were depleting her.

Since she could not afford a nanny, there seemed no solution and she gradually found herself getting more and more worn out.

At my reading for Geraldine, she had no idea she had such a bountiful Sacral.

She just assumed she was being run ragged and operated on auto­ pilot.

When she learned that she had an infallible built in indicator sys­ tem capable of letting her know which activities worked best for her, she immediately began changing the way she lived.

She actually saw the importance of educating her children to approach her in a different way.

Instead or I want" demands, she coached the chil­dren to ask questions that required a yes/no response.

She was savvy enough to disguise this shift into a playful set of new rules.

To her delight, the questions elicited a reliable gut response and now she only commits to the activities that resonate.

This, in turn, has empowered the children to be more resourceful, and they're delighted to see Mom having more satisfac­tion and energy in her life.

I tell all Generators to acknowledge the blessing they are.

As a Genera­tor, you may well be harboring fears that you'll miss the boat if you don't act now or that everything will go wrong if you don't jump in and seize control.

But trust your nature. Trust the person you were born to be and wait to respond.

~ Chetan Parkyn - Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born to Be. 

 

THE SACRAL AUTHORITY

"Follow Your Gut.”

This is your strategy if the Sacral is defined and the Emo­tions are undefined.

Your correct decision-making process is about "following your gut" ­and trusting it.

Am I seriously telling you that your best decisions in life will stem from that sensation in the lower belly?

Yes, I am. Indeed, you were born with a natural inclination to follow the gut, but this was quickly drummed out of you by well… meaning parents and teachers who provided the con­ditioning to use the Mind instead.

The most important thing for anyone with Sacral Authority to appre­ciate is that this inner guidance system is only ever effective when in response.

It is not proactive; it is responsive.

Thus, your authority is designed to wait until there is a clear response that speaks from the lower belly with an "uh-huh" for "yes" and "uh-uh" for "no," or that sensation of being drawn toward or repelled by something.

If there is no response, this in itself implies a lack of interest at the time.

This authority needs to be applied to everything in life. It is not healthy for you to commit to, or engage in, anything without first wait­ing and then receiving a gut response in agreement.

You've got to be careful not to be tempted into making decisions just because of conditioning or the people around you.

An emotional friend with a contagious excitement could make an idea sound like the best thing since sliced bread; an iron… willed colleague could make a persua­sive argument to commit your vast life… force energy to an important project.

At such times, your authority demands that you sit and wait for your gut response to make its voice known.

Because, as we already know, once you commit, there is no stopping you being carried onward by the Sacral's relentless momentum.

Learning to get out of the head and into the gut is how you'll learn to make wiser decisions.

Many people with a defined Sacral struggle to differentiate between gut response and emotional reaction.

A response is patient, relaxed, and measured, whereas a reaction is an unconscious reflex and hasty.

With practice, you'll learn to notice the difference and hone this authoritative skill within you.

With that in mind, I will now give you something to ponder.

Consider a time in your life when you made an important decision that turned out to be one you regretted, be that a decision to get married or let someone go, sell your house or buy a car, move to another country or move down the street.

Now recall how you made that decision. Were you over… analyzing and thinking too much?

Did the influence of another person convince you in some way? Were you feeling obliged to commit?

Rewind and review it all. Look at what unfolded when you made that poor decision.

Now consider an important decision where everything turned out favorably and you felt an inner harmony.

How did you make that deci­sion?

Did you, perhaps, wait, trust your gut, and then go for it?

Your golden key to making correct and consistently better decisions lies in identifying the answers to these questions.

One Important Note: When you have both the Spleen and Sacral defined, your gut response becomes greatly enhanced by the Spleen senses.

This means that your gut is fast-tracked into an instantaneous split-second response.

34 Channel of Power 57        From the Sacral to the Spleen

This channel is all about embracing the power of now… and acting on it.

You are a true force with the potential for greatness… and the power to bring about change.

The connection between the raw energy of the Sacral and the survival instincts of the Spleen mean you are a born powerhouse with an empow­ering intuition.

When responding correctly to your senses, you are awe­some in your swift and decisive actions.

No one is better at getting things done in a crisis than the 34 - 57, because the spontaneity of the Spleen's senses means you're jumping into action in an instant to save the day, galvanizing everyone else's activities as you go.

It is a power drawn to taking action to help others in distress with senses as alert as those of a superhero.

Your intuition responds to cries for help and wades into action in the interests of the survival of yourself and everyone else.

It is a power capable of resurrect­ing the lives of anyone living in a disempowered way, down on their knees.

You can also give systems, situations, and companies the kiss of life if the purpose resonates with you.

If you start a new job at 9A.M., you'll be starting the revolution by 9:05, as you hit your stride.

The unique combination of mighty energy and gentle intuition means you wield your powerful hand in a velvet glove.

Your energy gets every­one upstanding and moving toward the achievement of great things, propelled by your voice yelling: "Go, go, go! Now, now, now!"

You already know that your considerable abilities and energy are sought out by others, but realize the need for discretion in how to use ­them.

Bringing healing and well… being into the lives of those around you can be a naturally wonderful sensation, but remember to look after your own needs first!

Former British prime minister… Margaret Thatcher has this channel, and look at the power she wielded to bring about the "Thatcher revolution."

Whatever you think of her decisions, the "Iron Maiden" felt Britain had its nose in the mud when she took power in 1979 and wanted it back on its feet.

So she set about making it happen, with an eye on bettering its future.

This is a natural response of the 34-57, taking action for the long term good that might even become a lasting legacy.

~ Chetan Parkyn - Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born to Be.

3 Channel of Mutation 60     From the Sacral to the Root

You might already be aware of how dramatically events can change around you.

Join the 3 and the 60 and it becomes symbolic, because your life is always doing a 360 degree circle.

Partners who travel with you in life must be adaptable and prepare for an erratic but rewarding experi­ence of change and growth.

Expect the unexpected.

Everyone I know with this channel has a life made up of a sequence of quantum leaps from one place to the next, forever changing direction and relying on nothing more than blind faith and an affirmative gut response from the Sacral.

The 3 - 60 is one of three "format channels."

A format channel has an overriding impact on your entire design, dictating how your life will be lived out, regardless of whatever else is going on in your life chart.

With the 3 - 60, your Human Design has the ingrained motto "Dramatic changes and transformations equal personal growth."

Your process is bringing about renewal, but don't expect a fanfare everywhere you go­ because not everyone welcomes upheaval.

Have you ever watched moving events lit by an erratic strobe light?

That is similar to the way in which you operate: the light hits you and everything is seen clearly.

But then the light darts away, leaving you in darkness.

When it hits you again, everything has changed and you and everything around you are moving in a new direction.

The strobe light's randomness also matches the cosmic timing that governs your life, pulsing on and off in an irregular pattern.

Likewise, dra­matic change has no sense of timing.

Things happen when they are meant to happen and this is a natural law that all 3 - 60s must learn to accept.

This in itself can be limiting, especially if you've set something in motion and things stall.

This can induce a melancholy that is hard to shake.

At such times, your best allies are music and nature.

The acoustic quality of this channel needs to tune in to sounds that match your mood.

Then exercise patience.

If life is teaching you anything, it's that things don't remain stuck for long.

Trust this channel's mutative energy, and the frustration over temporary inertia can ease.

Throughout your life, you'll come to see that the transformations you bring…to your world and others… are immensely empowering.

~ Chetan Parkyn - Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born to Be.

32 Channel of Transformation 54                        From the Spleen to the Root

You are immensely driven and determined to succeed through applying yourself… and finding the right people who can help you climb the career ladder.

You sometimes sense a power greater than yourself thrust­ing you forward and upward.

Your motto is almost "I'll make it to the top… no matter what it takes!"

Material or spiritual success matters to you and you're forever scouring your environment to find the allies and connections that can help you get there.

This fierce ambition is fueled by a fear of failure, injected by gate 32, and this means there is a tendency for you to become a workaholic.

You can be the last out of the office or putting in overtime, determined to impress the boss or hit the latest sales or performance targets.

You're here to expand and compete to be the best in life.

The 32 – 54 is the Channel of Transformation because it can shake up your life and all those around you once your advancement kicks in.

You have a compul­sion to succeed, and your contacts book is brimming with connections to those who can assist your ascent into a position of power and wealth.

You are all about power meetings in the boardroom and behind the scenes chats that can fast track your life.

But, as a result, the one ques­tion you're forever asking yourself in business and social circles is "Can this person help get me where I want to be?"

In this regard, you follow the senses of the Spleen and follow your nose.

If you trust those senses, you'll be guided to the right connections.

You bring transformation into the lives of everyone you meet and can find yourself in great demand.

That's because people know you'll work all hours and schmooze away to make things happen.

So make sure you engage in all situations from a well adjusted win win perspective and not from a need of selfish gain.

When you find this balanced approach, you will discover that everyone willingly gathers to support your causes.

28 Channel of Struggle 38     From the Spleen to the Root

You are a champion of individuality, standing up and fighting for what you know to be right, regardless of the odds and rules against you.

A stub­born individuality means that life can seem like an eternal struggle as you rail and campaign against the world and its unfairness.

I would almost describe you as a rebel without a cause, except you do have a cause: it's the empowerment of the individual.

Stubbornness is a rough old word that conjures up the image of a stub­born mule.

But for you it is a gift, empowering you and others to fight for fairness and stand your ground, no matter what the odds, or the antag­onistic forces opposing you.

It's almost as if the best thing you can hear is "It can't be done."

Nothing will make you dig your heels in more and get you moving toward the accomplishment of mission impossible, as you mumble to yourself:

"You just watch me!"

Have you ever been in a gale that is so strong it almost knocks people off their feet?

Now imagine walking into such a wall of wind.

That is an illustration of what life can feel like for people with the 28 - 38.

It requires poise, balance, and determination to keep moving forward, step by steady step.

Fortunately, you have an intuitive sense that knows what things and people are worth fighting for.

Indeed, you are someone who could walk into a foreign country, see the rights of its people being denied, and want to start a resistance movement, banging your campaign drum as loudly as you can.

There is something of David in you, always look­ing to take on Goliath, and this can lead to a tendency to fight every­one and everything.

It's a level of inner resistance that people around you may well struggle to understand.

"It's always you versus the world!" they might say as you thumb your nose at convention and rule systems.

But you can be deaf to others' input as you attune to what sounds right for you.

This is simply your individualistic nature.

You'll swim upstream when everyone else is heading downstream, and you'll climb in the window when you could have used the front door.

It's just you demonstrating your individuality and saying:

"I do things my way."

The difficulty is that your standards in life might not be realistic.

Your fulfillment comes from knowing which battles to take on and which to leave alone.

Otherwise, the indefatigable spirit of the campaigner may well be taken advantage of, leaving you frustrated and depleted.

In your per­sonal life, leave your struggles on the doorstep… don't invite them into everything you witness in the home.

And then you can sit back, fish out the old Frank Sinatra album, dig in your heels, and start singing "My Way!"

11 Channel of Curiosity 56     From the Mind to the Throat

You are forever seeking life's meaning, then yearning to express it so that others are stimulated by your findings.

Your insatiable curiosity never stops in its pursuit of finding something out or obtaining new informa­tion to share with others.

In many situations there is the inclination for you to "speak your mind" because of the activation between the Mind and Throat, and this emerges in phrases like "I believe what you'll find is ..."

Then you'll be curious to see how your audience reacts and will ponder the meaning of that reaction.

Your excessive interest in anything and everything means you dip in and out of life's belief systems, flitting from one stimulating idea or con­cept to the next, collecting knowledge along the way.

To those witness­ing your behavior, it's as if you're chasing butterflies, trying to keep pace with their erratic dance, tasting each flower to find flavor and meaning.

You devour philosophies and wisdoms, investigate concepts, and probe all kinds of new beliefs.

You like nothing more than seeing the results of your curiosity stimulate others.

You will also take on all sorts of trips and travels as a means to satisfy your curiosity, always wondering what's around the next comer, always sensing that there is nothing quite like firsthand experience to stimulate your ideas and beliefs anew.

The Biblical phrase "Seek, and ye shall find" is applicable here, except that for you, the search continues until your last breath.

It's as if your mind cannot rest until it has come to grips with everything there is to experi­ence in life.

For you, truth cannot be known through having preconceived ideas.

You must seek out the experience and sample it for yourself.

3/5 Profile

You are the last person who needs reminding that life is a school of hard knocks, filled with the exhilarating chaos on which your nature thrives, aided by a potentially wicked sense of humor and a polished, charismatic air.

I can almost see you adopting a James Bond air, blowing those cheeks, wiping that brow, and saying, "Tell me about it ... but I live to fight another day!"

Pain and pleasure are the twinned realities of life, though I suspect you've known more pain due to living life on the edge, leaping in with both feet, and learning as you go.

Of all profiles, you are the most likely to stick your fingers into an electric socket just to find out what goes on in there!

You are your own worst enemy, such is your insatiable inquisi­tiveness and curiosity.

You like to leave no stone unturned in your pur­suit of reward and joy, and there is an indefatigable spirit to the way you embrace life, come what may.

3/5 profiles are here for a fast track lifetime.

In failure, trauma, and survival, you glean wisdom.

Life will bounce you into dead ends, heart­break, crushing disappointment, and wrong situations while asking you to take the blessings in disguise.

It's almost as if your role is to witness, endure, or lead from the front in order to educate and guide others.

You are a capable and adaptable leader in a crisis, with a wisdom that shapes a visionary element, and there is something of the rebel in you, wanting to challenge authority and point out what is and isn't working.

You want to be a force for change in all areas of life.

Your adaptability makes you expert in a storm of crisis, because you've been there, done that, and know how the drama ends!

Your understanding of life also arms you with a natural forgiveness.

The fascinating mix of this profile is the third line element, which needs the juice of life, together with the illusory yet hypnotic nature of the fifth line.

This turns you into a charismatic, persuasive seducer, sub­tly reeling others into relationships, projects, or pursuits.

But it is a pro­file that is noncommittal by nature and doesn't wish to hang around if there is not a sustainable engagement with its interest.

Nevertheless, you are always strategizing, seeing how it can all work in your best inter­ests, toying with experimental and grand ideas.

If I were in conversation with you, there would be an outgoing, engag­ing eagerness about your communication style and obvious zest for life.

I daresay you could come across as a bit of a dreamer, but doubtless there would be a multitude of crazy anecdotes, all carried off with a self­ deprecating humor concealing the pain of the time.

When you fall back on your sharp wit, you are one of the funniest people around.

Humor is both your medicine and your master deflector.

But not a1l 3/5s can look on the bright side.

Life can become too much and leave you defeated.

You can get to the point where all you crave is a settled life.

You are done with the trials, tribulations, and tests and want to throw in the towel.

When 3/5 profiles feel beaten, despite their best efforts, they surrender.

But their nature will not rest and will always seek to propel them into a fresh adventure.

So surrendering will only exacer­bate any inner frustrations.

The third line will never stop catapulting the 3/5 into all sorts of relationships, projects, travels, travails, purchases, and lifestyles.

The unconscious fifth line sometimes paddles hard to make real life match the fantasies.

Ultimately, you are seeking the reward for your hardship.

You are always seeking that special someone who can bring inner peace amid the chaos.

When that person is found, commitment is total.

In accepting chaos, you accept yourself. Life will never be a destination but is an eternal journey.

Embrace it, find medicine in laughter, and absorb all the consequential wisdoms that make people admire you so much.

And at the end of your days, I guarantee you will have traveled, loved and lost, succeeded and failed, and amassed a veritable library of personal expe­riences to recall and ponder.

Relationships: It is quite possible that 3/5 partners have no real idea of how restless they are, particularly in a relationship.

Of course, they will have the gift of gab and say all the right things, but as they're stroking your face and whis­pering sweet nothings, keep an eye out for the feet inching toward the exit door.

An escape clause should be written into any love contract with a third line element, especially when coupled with the dreamy nature of the fifth line, which brings a strong degree of romanticism and big promises.

The 3/5 profile is forever in search of the perfect relationship and will not compromise its ideals.

Did I say "perfect"? What I meant to say was "purr - fect,"

These people need to be met, and understood, on every pos­sible level before they give 100 percent commitment. These are highly selective individuals when searching for a life mate.

One thing you need to appreciate is the essential ingredient to throw into the mix with a 3/5 partner laughter.

Let life bring the dark side; let you be the source of light.

They can be deeply emotional partners, but the tears of laughter need to balance the tears of pain.

Grant them this much and you will come to know and admire a true ally and arbiter and the bridge builder of an unpredictable but exciting future.

When 3/5s feel they have met their match, they bring the greatest level of commitment and stability to a relationship that is possible.

Just be prepared to be dragged off in pursuit of big dreams!

Compatibility: Your ideal matches are with other3/5s and 6/2 profiles, but away from that synergy you also find common ground with 3/6, 5/1, 5/2, and 6/3 profiles.

~ Chetan Parkyn - Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born to Be.

What NOW?

Just be yourself," they say.

How many times have we heard that?

It's often said to help ease a nervous first date, a daunting social invita­tion, or the first day on a new job.

There is always someone armed with that well-intentioned advice: "Don't worry… just be yourself and every­thing will be fine!"

The problem is this: how many of us know what being ourselves actu­ally means?

Who is this "true self' the private inner being that hides behind the mask it wears for most public interactions, that real person we are when stripped of our ego and acts of social graces aimed at win­ning respect, approval, or popularity?

Psychologists the world over would say that millions of people pass through life without ever realizing what constitutes their true self.

It's as though we have forgotten our unique individuality in the collective rush to be all things to all people, to fit the picture-perfect portrayals in magazines, television dramas, and movies.

It's as though the naturalness and authenticity with which we were all born and which we unleashed with unaffected abandon as children have been crushed, repressed, or even disallowed.

Instead, conformity and responsibility in adulthood have combined to distort or shrink our true natures.

Millions of us parade as someone other than our true selves without even realizing it, adopting an "acting personality" shaped by the conditioning of our pasts and the judgments, expectations, and rules of others.

Along the way, we've picked up and collected traits and acceptable responses that are deemed the "norm," so there's always a tendency to act as we believe we should act, or how we've been trained to act, all the time keeping our inner beings bound and gagged.

In that regard, I am reminded of a woman who sought me out to help rediscover a lost connection to the real person who, she said, had mys­teriously disappeared during her marriage.

Jayne told me: “All I want is to be myself again, act like myself again, feel like ~ myself again.

I don't want to be this person I've created and be­come.

I know the real me is different, waiting to get out and be braver, less afraid of being hurt, less worried about the judgments of others, less afraid of taking on the world, desperate to laugh and dance again.

She's in there. I know she is.

But I've no idea where to look anymore.

I need to be reminded of the me that has become lost.”

Like Jayne, most of us adopt a persona a word that originates from the Greek for "mask."

But what really matters is the authentic person behind the mask, that we are "seen" and recognized for who we truly are.

In writing this book I hope to bring you back home to the essence and safe harbor of your inner being, reuniting you with the person you were born to be and the life you were meant to live.

That's why this is not a self­ help book but a self reminder, directing you to rediscover the essence and uniqueness of the real you.

What I'm introducing is a one of its kind system and self awareness tool called Human Design, a system where science meets spirituality, a system that intends you to be loved, accepted, and understood for WHO you are.

Which is why it asks one question at the outset: "Are you living your Human Design?"

This system is built on the wisdom that the acceptance and embrac­ing of your true nature are the essence of finding personal happiness, fulfillment, and freedom, which, in turn, can lead to finding and creat­ing healthier relationships.

This book is the culmination of fifteen years in the field of Human Design.

I have immersed myself in its truths, giving one on one readings and holding group seminars, and it has been a long held wish of mine to share its prescient insights with a much wider audience because of the quiet revolutions it kick starts.

I have lost count of the people who have walked through the front door of this system and emerged through the back exit renewed and invigorated.

Once its truths become apparent, it induces an awakening that is both empowering and transformative.

It provides concrete infor­mation for you to act on by altering the way you view yourself and approach interactions with others.

In the words of educator Stedman Graham: "When you have a sense of who you are and a vision of where you're going in life, you then have the basis of reaching out to the world, and going after your dreams for a better life."

Once you apply this system's knowledge to your life, the possibilities are endless.

But knowledge is not the only qualification I bring to the table.

Experience has also been my teacher, and I personally have Human Design to thank for bringing me back "home" and changing my life a life that was seemingly going nowhere back in 1975.

I was sure the perfect storm was going to consume our hundred foot motor yacht.

There almost seemed a surreal lull between the heaving rolls of the forty foot swell as we were driven across the Atlantic Ocean, a lull between life and death.

I remember the chill, the pitch darkness, and the freezing spray of Atlantic water as this hurricane storm suddenly struck two days out of Bermuda.

I was at the wheel, between Nassau and Malta, when the mother of all waves hit and the boat was knocked sideways. I gripped the wheel for dear life, convinced we were capsizing and that death was imminent.

Then, with agonizing slowness, the boat righted herself.

It was a terri­fying experience.

This journey through the hurricane lasted for nine days and nights.

I remember tying myself onto a bunk with ropes, wedged between two wooden drawers, and disappearing into a place beyond prayer.

Two days after nearly capsizing, as the storm still raged, it was my birthday always a time of review and reflection.

I took a break in the gray light of day and hunkered down in one of the speedboats tied to the top deck to smoke a rare cigarette by way of meager celebration.

As I did so, everything inside me went quiet, the storm around me seemed to mute, and I had a sudden realization of how miraculous our escape had been.

I thought to myself, "Surely there's more to my life than this!"

I had dropped out of school in England, traveled the world for two years, and then completed an apprenticeship before earning a mechan­ical engineering degree at university.

After taking one or two small jobs in Europe, I'd ended up repairing and delivering luxury motor yachts around the world.

But after we'd arrived in Malta and I'd thanked the gods for my survival, I packed it all in and retreated to the Shetland Islands, to the north of Scotland, to take stock of my life.

All I knew was that I needed to get away. I started asking that "Who am I?" question, and don't mind admitting that such introspection led to a pretty dark time.

The remoteness of my croft house on a hilltop in the middle of nowhere was almost a perfect analogy for the personal wilderness in which I'd lost my sense of self.

During those eighteen months in the Shetlands, my dad, Roderick Parkyn, passed away.

Another rope tethering my stability started to fray.

Then, one night, sitting in the candlelit gloom of the croft, a week after scattering his ashes on his favorite sea shore in Scotland, I felt this unmis­takable spirit enter the room.

Those who have known grief and have felt another's spirit will know what I'm talking about.

It was a powerful expe­rience and one that released me from my isolation.

In a quiet but reas­suring voice within I heard him telling me, "It's all right. You can go now."

A couple of days later, I was sitting on the front doorstep, flipping through Exchange &Mart, when with some synchronicity, this ad jumped out and called to me: "Free Trip to Nepal for Diesel Mechanic.

" Propelled by Dad's reassurance, I applied and successfully landed the job-as both mechanic and driver for the trip to Nepal.

This was the start of an exhil­arating journey of self-discovery.

I soon found myself driving a Magic Bus on the hippie trail to India, a place that ultimately became my home for five of the next eleven years.

In 1979 I was introduced to the ashram of Osho, an enlightened master who at the time was known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

Being in his company is another story for another time. For now, let me just say that he continues to touch my heart very deeply.

One guidance that Osho offered was that if people had really personal questions about themselves, they should visita "shadow reader" in Bom­bay (now Mumbai).

Of course, I had to do it. This remarkable man met me, smiling, at the door of his apartment.

He was clean shaven, in his late thirties, wearing a billowing shirt and trousers, and there was a bright twinkle in his eye.

In a parking area below his apartment, his son pro­ceeded to measure the length of my shadow, cast onto the ground by the sun.

Back upstairs, the shadow reader did some calculations, rolled his chair along a huge bookshelf, pulled out one of many identical looking volumes, turned to a page, and started reading in Sanskrit, a classical language of India.

Among many things, he predicted that my personal awakening would happen later in life.

I would be introduced to a system, would master it and then teach it.

"System? What system? What is he talking about?" I thought.

His advice was that I should experiment with reading for people to learn the skills of interaction while imparting personal and important information relevant to their lives.

One week later… I meta psychic palmist who gave me a fast track intro­duction on how to read hands and faces.

And so it was that after some practice-makes perfect I began to read palms.

It came naturally to me and I loved it.

My travels took me to America, Switzerland, Brazil, Hol­land, Germany, and Japan before I settled in Hawaii for the next nine years, reading the stories contained within people's hands.

Then, in 1993, I heard that a woman friend was organizing classes for a man called Ra Uru Hu, who was introducing a system to America called Human Design.

I was sent a curious looking chart that was supposed to represent my life's design, and it dawned on me that this was the very system the shadow reader had talked about.

Its origins were intriguing. Ra, a Canadian previously known as Alan Krakower, had been a born cynic who had worked as a newspaper advertising salesman and filmmaker but had gone through a series of major disappointments, which had led to his flying to Europe and catching a bus to Spain.

A casual remark by a fellow passenger had directed him to the island of Ibiza.

There, an event took place that changed his world.

On the evening of January 4,1987, he was returning home on foot with his dog, Barley Baker, when he saw a light shining from inside his remote cottage.

He knew perfectly well that the lamp had no oil in it, so he won­dered what was going on.

As man and dog entered the property, Barley started to growl, then fell prone to the floor.

Ra himself described feeling some kind of internal explosion.

Within moments, he was standing in a pool of his own per­spiration.

He then heard a male "voice" insisting he get to work. He was receiving something profound from the Universe.

Call it channeling. Call it inspiration. Call it what you will.

But he started writing and sketching and continued for eight days and nights.

From those writings, Human Design came into being.

As surreal as that story may sound, its inescapable truth can be wit­nessed in this book, for these are the teachings that Ra brought into the world, a gift from the Universe.

It is a system that simply works.

For the next seven years I traveled regularly from Maui to attend classes with Ra…

… and in the same way that I had learned to read palms, I taught myself to read Human Design life charts.

I started giving readings to friends and clients and began to see that the information was both mean­ingful and empowering.

After four years, it was time to articulate all I had learned to a wider audience and I started teaching classes about the system.

One of the people who came to these classes had a profound impact on me, and it felt as if she was opening a whole new magical doorway.

Carola was a spiritual astrologer and counselor, and she could see in her own way how clearly we were connected.

Ultimately, she invited me to move to be with her in California and we married.

She started using Human Design in her counseling practice and also noticed how it as­sisted clients to move through certain issues and find clarity about who they were as individuals.

I, too, was well aware of the empowering impact the system could have on people.

For many people, it truly was the difference between being lost and then feeling found, granting them permission to be themselves once more.

Human Design isn't a guarantee for happiness, nor will it remove the challenges and pain of normal life.

But I've seen how it can change lives. It changed mine. Now I intend it to change yours.

Most of us, at some point, have become frustrated with our lot and whis­pered self searching questions such as "Who am I?"

"What am I doing with my life?"

"What is my purpose?"

It seems more and more people are engaged in an endless search these days searching for the perfect career, perfect partner, and per­fect life.

The very word searching means looking for something that is lost, lacking, or missing and we fall into the trap of believing that all the answers lie outside ourselves.

Yet the answers already lie on the inside.

Those answers are detailed in a design of which the Universe is the architect, a design of the person you were programmed to be, your Human Design.

It is a document that represents your blue print for life a blueprint of your personality.

Once you've become acquainted with this information, you will know whether the life you're living fits with your design.

This is not some New Age concept; its accuracy is inescapable and timeless.

It is not a philosophy or a belief; it is an actuality rooted in science that speaks its own power.

Nor does it require the attraction or manifestation of wishes or desires.

There is no asking, visualizing, or positive thinking required, because its truth already exists within us.

When I assert that truth, I'm not making some fashionable statement of rhetoric…

I quite literally mean the truth is within like a set of tools within a boxed set, waiting to be picked up and used to carve out a niche and purpose in life.

Once reacquainted with your "design for life," you will start to feel the ripples across all areas of your existence:

In relationships and friendships, it determines the dynamics between peo­ple, allowing you to see where there is synergy, conflict, or nothing in common.

In the family and at home, it explains differences between siblings and highlights the practical and emotional interactions between parent and child, husband and wife.

In the workplace, it illustrates to employers or clients the different nat­ural abilities within each person a vital tool for improving collec­tive productivity.

In the classroom, it shows teachers the capabilities of each pupil and how to bring out the best in each child.

On the social scene, it makes you aware of the magnetisms at play and why you are drawn to certain people and repelled by others.

Relationships with yourself, your partner, friends, parents, siblings, col­leagues, and bosses are all impacted by the power of this system.

And through it we can learn to understand one another on a much deeper level, thus becoming more effective and empathetic parents, friends, lovers, and colleagues.

It is the most logical, freshest, and clearest insight into the self that there could ever be.

I can confidently say that you won't have seen anything like it before, so prepare for an intimate odyssey whose final destination is a true understanding of the person you were designed to be.

Prepare to meet yourself.

Prepare to meet the real you.
