Know Thyself

At the entrance to Apollo’s Temple in Delphi, the maxim, Know Thyself, is inscribed into the stone.

To know thyself is a life’s journey and arguably the only one that matters, for in the seed of self-knowledge is the potential for universal correction. It’s not until we recognize our shortcomings that we’re able to realize the opportunities that life offers to learn to overcome myopia and step into the flow of life instead of living in resistance.

Human Design is one framework among many that facilitates the quest for self-knowledge. A mechanical system with connections to the I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, and the chakra system, Human Design accounts for the impact that the neutrino stream has on our nature and our personality, as well as how our design is conditioned by others and the constantly shifting planetary transits.

Conditioning begins at birth. The process of de-conditioning, similar to Jung’s concept of Individuation, is fruitless without the cultivation of self-knowledge.

My thoughts on Human Design will relate to my own experiences and my own study, which is at a nascent stage and always developing. I find the system fascinating and am receptive to discussion. Feel free to reach out via the contact page.
