What are you built for?

We all have our special purpose in this incarnation on this planet. It is what, if we are paying attention, we are here to learn and fulfill. A few of our fellow human beings have been given the gift of voice (Manifestor)--others the gift of powerful physical energy (Generator)--some are here simply to observe and partake of the experience (Reflector), others are here to guide (Projector). The whole range of human experience is born of /created by the interaction of people--either using their gifts or out of line with their purpose.

In my quest to evolve and become a better me, I have become aware of the Human Design system, presented to the world by Ra Uru Hu, (A French Canadian born in 1948). A friend has also shared with me her knowledge of the system after studying for a number of years. From the website:

The Human Design System is a synthesis of two streams of science, traditional and modern. The traditional sciences - astrology both eastern and western, the Hindu-Brahmin Chakra system, the Zohar or Kabbalah, and most importantly of all, the I’Ching, the Book of Changes - these are the traditional elements in the synthesis that is Human Design, and combined with the modern science of reading the genetic code, this offers you profound insight into how you are designed to navigate the material world.

In the Human Design System you are provided with a bodychart, based on your date and time and place of birth. Your bodychart shows how your body was designed based on 3 months before you were born, and also your actual birth time. It is all very interesting--who does not want to find out more about themselves. As I proceed I will be using some Human Design speak--if it interests you at all--check out the link above. There is a dictionary in the resources section.

I am the type known as a Manifesting Generator. My type is not what I think or feel I am, but what I am by design. My inner authority (where I go to make correct decisions) is the sacral center. My strategy in life (based on my type) should be wait to respond. Wait for what? Wait for a request to commit my energies that rings true. The ringing truth is to be obtained in the guttural primal without thinking response uh huh (yes) or uh uh (no). When making decisions from this place, supposedly I cannot go wrong. Now, how the hell does one connect with this gutty decision maker? Life is so loud.

I have quickly learned that it is almost impossible to do this unless you slow way down and pay close attention to it. Try to get a generator--a doer--to slow down and listen--not to what the mind is telling you, but what the pulsation of your core is. Rushing ahead on a wave of emotion, or with the momentum of getting on with things can get you in some trouble, or more likely waste your time and energy.

The Human Design system is very detailed with volumes of information available on your type, your design and all the little subsets of delineation that make you, you. You can dive in as deeply as you like but the most important thing to learn is your strategy and how to listen to your inner authority. New age speak, or brilliant tool? You decide.


So, what gifts have you been given?
