When you live your life as your True Self, you aren’t seeing the world through a distorted lens.

You’re seeing it as YOU - which is empowering for yourself as well as what makes you a helpful outer authority for others.

For example, I have something called “Personal View,” which has 6 line themes like being aloof at times and being a role model. I know I’m not seeing through a distorted lens when I’m relating things back to myself and watching myself function in a bit of a bubble. “Power View” is my transference. It’s not bad to be in transference because we do learn from that space, but I can recognize when I’m in it for too long and it almost feels like my perspective is tainted and inauthentic. I can’t effectively serve as outer authority from Power View. It feels like I’m worried about who’s “winning” or who has more power instead of seeing how things pertain to me personally. In today’s climate, that can be damaging for my mental health and I find myself constantly pulling back and asking myself “what’s MY experience with this and how does it pertain to ME?”

In Personal View, when I reflect on past stories and things that I’ve been through, I can see myself through an objective lens like I’m telling a story about a character that is me. I can give outer authority to others by using myself as an example.

View feels like one of the last things that clicks into place. Before I was aware of it, I was following strategy and authority but still looking through the lens of power dynamics and wondering why I was spinning out or why I wasn’t acting as an effective leader.

It’s another sign post to be aware of the deeper you get into the process of living as your True Self. I’ve gotten so much value out of learning about the substructure of my chart but only when I was really ready for it and not just when my mind wanted me to be.

Like everything else, learning about your view is pointless if you’re not ready for it. Living your design isn’t a race and we’re all going at different paces, so if you’re not in the space to learn about it yet, don’t sweat it. Just thought I’d plant seeds 🥰

If you know about your view, share with me in the comments!

I listened to my variables lecture (PRL DRR) for the umpteenth time today because I always get a fresh nugget out of it.

This part gave me all the feels. It’s so hard to label myself or even explain what I “do” with people. The truth is, I often don’t even know. I just know I’m meant to be a resource, I’m meant to be of service, and I desire deep connection with others.

I despise being measured. I don’t need to prove my worth. I don’t need to prove my abilities. I’m letting go of labels.

The more I let go of this, the more my life comes to me. My life is truly about awareness and my ability to see the world through my unique lens. When I don’t base my worth on what I “do” I’m more and more fulfilled. When I see myself as a vast, ocean of awareness, I love myself deeply.

If you have a right brain and right mind, I suggest you learn to do the same 😉

Interdependent relationships are the way of the future in my humble opinion 😌

They have the capacity to be safe, loving containers for awareness and growth.

Codependent relationships are no longer necessary to survive…however, there very well can be parts of you that don’t believe this.

I understand and acknowledge that it can take a lot of processing, releasing, and nurturing to heal from childhood wounds and be emotionally available in this way. You’re not broken or wrong if codependency is all you know - but being aware of what’s possible and opening your mind to progressive ways of being is the first step.

Relationships can help us bring to light what our perceptions of self and the other are.

I’ve been loving this style of post from , thanks for the inspiration🤓♥️

10 different thoughts that I notice arise throughout the day from different aspects of my design. The awareness that Human Design gives you about yourself is unlike anything else. My favorite is when I catch myself having “not-self” thoughts and I’m able to shift my behavior accordingly. This doesn’t always happen, of course, but it’s so freeing and empowering when it does.

I see a lot of content out there bashing on the teachings of others.

This is a great example of where connection to self should always be #1

There’s a lot of noise out there. A lot for the mind to get sucked into. A lot for the solar plexus to feel charged up about.

I do get emotionally charged when I see huge bodies of work, individual lived experiences, and certain perspectives being completely destroyed by some and ripped apart. Yes, there are controversial teachings out there. We always want to be aware of cult-like behavior and allowing our emotions and mind to be steered in one way or another that may not serve us. There are warriors out there questioning and being skeptical. We need that as a collective.

Emotional energy takes time to reach depth and clarity. I don’t even know how I really feel about something until I’ve sat with it for at least 1-2 days. If I react based on my emotional charge, I will be met with resistance time and time again. Hell, I start to resist myself. I get tired of that reactivity within myself.

What works for someone might not work for you. I love the phrase “not my circus, not my monkeys” when I see a bunch of calamity and accusation going on within a community. I’ve gotten so much from so many teachings it’s hard for me to be firm on right vs wrong

There are certain people that are meant to question things, be skeptical, dig deep and get to the foundation of where something originated and access problems and corrections that need to be made. It’s okay if I don’t agree with their assessment. Idk what their lived experience is. Idk the work they’ve put in to understand the conclusions they’ve come to. My open head center is practicing saying “I don’t know and I don’t care” because otherwise I will make it my business when it doesn’t need to be.

I take a strong stance on always following your own internal guidance. If it’s your work in this lifetime to investigate and question, power to you. I trust that you know what’s right for you.

And then my melancholic side is over here like - what’s the purpose to any of this? I’m bored, bring me something new😂🤷🏻‍♀️

A day late because I was spending time with this magical being yesterday. 🥰

I’ve mentioned before how HD has helped my relationships. It’s allowed me to surrender in relationship, allow people to be themselves, and love them for who they really are.

A bit about my mama Patty thru the lens of HD, because she’s truly shaped me into the woman I am and I want to recognize her for her gifts. I thought it’d be fun to share some things about her chart and how I’ve seen these attributes show up.
♥️Patty mothers everyone. She can’t shut off her nurturing abilities - my friends that know her well love coming over for tea just to be in her motherly energy. It’s healing to be in her aura.
♥️As a projector, the system shes studied her whole life has been the human body. She came from a medical family and was a nurse, but in her free time dove into everything beneath the surface that could affect our health and well being. I’ve grown up with the knowledge that our unprocessed trauma and emotions affect our physical body because of her.
♥️I grew up receiving energy healing from her as well as mostly homeopathic remedies. I played in the dirt all the time and rarely got sick (unless I was pretending to be so I could stay home from school and hang out with her)
♥️She has a heart of gold and fiercely cares for her people. As a 4/6 emotional being with a defined ego, she brings passion to every interaction, sometimes with a little provocation thanks to her gate 39😉Her gate 50 shows up when she stands up for her morals and values. She challenges authority and looks out for those who are lost. She’s deeply concerned for the evolution of humanity
♥️Her only 2 channels are the 37-40 and the 17-62. She has a brilliant receptive mind that’s designed to project itself into the future and see the big picture so she can look out for her community
♥️As the only projector in my family of sacral beings, I see her doing her best to guide our energy. I see her fascination with “the other” as she peers into people’s identities (open g-center) and intuitively picks up on so much with a person.
♥️She cares deeply for everyone she meets and has soo much wisdom

As someone with DESIRE motivation in Human Design... I’m here to lead. I’m here to be an authority and have a game plan. I’m here to have desires and get what I want. I’m meant to have an agenda in life.. not just go with the flow. My desire leads me. I have the cognitive gift of being a motivational speaker and getting others fired up to step into their correct motivation.

But DaYyuuum does that scare me sometimes🙈 it’s really subtle but I can feel it when I step into desire and I’m cruising with that firey leadership energy. It feels good..
It feels powerful. Others respond well to it.

But it’s easier for me to be in innocence which is my transference. It’s easier to be in the opposite. To “go with the flow” and “just see with happens!” 😖

That’s not correct for me. But it feels way more comfortable, I’ll tell ya that. When I need to step up and lead and everyone’s receptive and I’m in my zone of genius, I feel like I’m actually being of service.

I’ve struggled to be okay with my desires and to know it’s okay to want to reach certain goals or have certain outcomes. We can come up with a billion excuses as to why we don’t deserve what we want.

I’ve always been told I’m a natural leader by multiple mentors. It’s hard when you’re a 2/4 to see your own inherent gifts. The natural. The hermit. I question myself and wonder if I really have what it takes. I feel like I can reach my goals, help others and help myself.

I feel like you know when you’re in the correct motivation when it feels exhilarating but juuuust a little scary. A little uncomfortable. Like new territory.
It’s a powerful feeling to connect with.

Does what you want make you feel uncomfortable? When you’re stepping into new territory, do you tend to slip back into your old ways for fear of the unknown?

The more I follow my inner authority, the more my desires reveal themselves to me. The more it becomes clear and I can see where this path is taking me.

Honored to have on the podcast to talk about his Human Design! Ron is a 2/4 Quad Right Sacral Generator RAX of Consciousness. He’s had a super interesting life and I love what he’s building in the world.

I’m feeling really fired up about the direction this podcast is going. I’m thoroughly enjoying talking to people about their experiments and that was my intention with starting this podcast last year.. but I didn’t know enough people who could discuss the impact learning about their designs has had on their healing journey.

I’m finding that a lot of the suffering we experience with our perceptions of ourselves has to do with us not understanding our chemistry and our mechanics. It’s a breath of fresh air to hear “that’s just how you operate and you don’t need to change a thing” when it comes to things we’ve been told are character flaws. We can talk with someone till we’re blue in the face about how we need to have more willpower (open ego) but when you find out you’re not meant to have consistent willpower... by golly, I’m gonna stop beating myself for that. It’s the stories the mind creates that have you see it as a flaw. It’s our society trying to get us all to be the same.

Like being a hermit (2 profile) or making mistakes (3 profile). You could easily tear yourself apart for having either of these tendencies. But it’s correct for you.

What if you could just understand more about yourself and educate yourself on your mechanics? What if that could allow your mind to become your ally and not try to change you, but just be good at observing you and BEING you? That’s the gift we get when we follow our strategy and authority.

The practical application of HD is what it’s all about. The juiciness of actually experimenting. The stories are how we learn about ourselves and others. So when you hear other people living it out, experimenting, making mistakes, learning, gaining awareness, etc...It’s inspiring and it makes you wanna keep going ♥️

Human Design is first and foremost an experiment 🧪 and I loooove experimenting with it

It’s meant to be taken and applied in a tangible way. The way to start experimenting is with your strategy and authority.

HD is quantum intelligence... it was meant to be given to you in a specific way so that you can actually understand the language.
To me, it’s exactly like learning a language. You’re not going to be able to speak another language conversationally and fluently without practicing, experimenting, gaining awareness and lots of repetition. I’m trying to re-learn Spanish right now (and I just got back from Mexico where I spoke it very poorly 🙈 so this example is fresh in my mind)

Yet, we all have a different way of learning. My way of learning has been to go down all the rabbit holes, take in allllll the info from multiple sources and multiple teachers (receptive mind) and then end up back to the roots and the source material, learning through the Human Design college which I’ve been absolutely loving.

Because I’ve experimented with S&A so much, I now see the world through a human design lens and this is FUN for me. It feels satisfying. I notice nuance. I love talking to others that speak the language, just like I love practicing Spanish. This is a natural high to me. I desire it.

Additionally, it’s helped me IMMENSELY in relationship. That might be my favorite part about it. I used to want to change people, to make them more like me.. even the people I love the most. Now I see them for who they are. I celebrate their differentiation. They don’t need to speak this language in order for me to see them through this beautiful lens of compassion and understanding. I notice how being around others changes how I experience the world and my self-awareness gets deeper and deeper.

If you’re dedicated to experimenting, it will absolutely change the way you see yourself, others, and the world. It makes the world a more playful place for me. It helps me enjoy being human and being in relationship with others. I don’t have all the answers, but I know I’m really good at gaining awareness, helping others awaken to their own truth, and developing deep relationships.

“I’m not in the mood” is my personal fav. Short and sweet. Also the hardest for me to say because I usually want to over explain myself so people don’t take it personally when I have to cancel plans last minute.

If you’re emotionally defined and you really want to love yourself, it’s time to own your emotional depth. Emotional energy takes time to reach clarity, it takes time to reach depth, and it must honor its lows.

Lows are time for you to be with yourself. Sit with your feelings. Allow them to be present. Not try to change them. Be creative. Do whatever feeeeeels right.

We’re all about what “feels” correct for us.

The thing is, if you show up to something when you’re not in the mood, people can immediately sense that. It is not correct for you to force yourself to do anything when you’re not in the mood. I used to have major FOMO, but now I know that if I’m not in the mood, that’s my system telling me it’s not right for me that day. There’s no FOMO when you’re following your own compass.

Also....We need to take responsibly for our emotions. I’m calling it out.

I see it in relationships often where one person is undefined and one is defined and the emo person projects their feelings onto the the undefined. It might be because you haven’t made peace with your wave. I know that was the case for me. Saying phrases like these can help you and others feel more familiar with your emotional energy.

We’re meant to be the ones normalizing emotions and calling out the elephant in the room that everyone is feeling. Expressing your emotions is healthy as long as you’re not using someone else as a punching bag. Calling them out and doing what you need to do to take care of yourself is admirable and others will learn through osmosis.

Let’s work together to normalize feeling feelings, not needing to be high and happy all the time, and honoring your wave. Everyone in your life (that’s meant to be in your life) will benefit.
