When you’re looking at anybody’s calculation in the wheel, it is obvious immediately given the limitation of the number of activations that you can have, that there is no way that you can activate even more than a third of all the potential that is there in the wheel. In other words, if you look at all of the chemical combinations it appears that there are an enormous number of them that we are not endowed with. Now this is a misinterpretation of what you are seeing. What Human Design does in terms of an individual calculation is that it shows you difference from the other. Like the difference between the muscle cell and the blood cell, what your design shows you is what has imprinted you and imprinted you as unique from the other — so that you’re not lost in the whole.

Now of course the world of conditioning is constant in trying to pull us back into a world where we abandon our uniqueness and accept the other and the other way. Everything about what it is to be you has always been, always been subject to conditioning of the outside world trying to bring about homogenization. Now by the way, it’s not that it’s bad. We have two things. We have nature and nurture. Now the nurture bonds us to the whole. After all every single one of those gates that you don’t have acts as a receptor for that gate to enter and that’s what we call conditioning. So if you don’t have a gate, you get it from somebody else. You’re open to receiving that energy.

What’s important about your design is your uniqueness. Now look at when somebody enters into this knowledge, the first thing that they find out about themselves is that they find out their type. The first thing that we find out about type is that every single type is associated with a strategy — a very specific, mechanical strategy. This is what Human Design is all about. Human Design is about the simple. If the truth cannot be simple, it certainly cannot be universal. Everything about the nature of strategy is not only that it is simple, but based on the evidence of thousands and thousands of people, it works.

The most important thing about entering into this knowledge is entering into the experiment of trying your strategy. It will change your life and not change your life in the sense that it’s going to do anything other than eliminate the power of conditioning to confuse who you really are, so that you can live out the uniqueness that is your right. Your right as a human being is to be your own authority.

You see the way in which we operate incorrectly is that we are ruled by our minds and our minds are subject to the conditioning of the not-self, of the open centers that distort the way that the mind makes its decisions. That the mind being dualistic and always operating at both ends of that dualistic spectrum can never truly know what is right or what is wrong for the whole.
Each and every one of us is born with a place of authority. We are born with a strategy that will allow us the most important thing in life — it’s very simple, to be able to make decisions correctly as yourself. The moment that you begin to operate with your strategy, you finally are operating with an authority that will make decisions as YOU for YOU.

The first step in Human Design is to experiment with your strategy. It’s essential. The moment that you begin to experiment with your strategy, you’ll begin to see that there truly is an authority in you that knows what is correct for you and you can make the decisions that work for you in this life."

J.R. ("Randy") Richmond:
Science is trying to unravel the secrets of our genetic code, but only in a general ‘one size fits all’ model. Human Design can be specific as to your personal genetic formula. This information is presented in a bodygraph with nine centers, which represent your mind, emotions, heart, intuition, and what rhythms and patterns govern your movement through life. Human Design can give you a strategy for living your life authentically as yourself. The bodygraph is a mirror and through it you will recognize yourself. You will come to understand basic truths about yourself that Freud, and Jung could never tell you. They couldn’t tell you, because they didn’t know. They didn’t have this tool. Can you imagine how Freud or Jung would have felt if they had a map of their own unconscious? That map is included in your bodygraph. Freud and Jung speculated about a collective unconscious that we all participated in, but had no idea of what a person’s private unconscious looked like. They never really understood what was moving under their own consciousness. They could have seen it in a moment if they had this knowledge. You can see it now. There are those who can help you interpret it or you can learn it for yourself.
