The Mechanical Nature of the Universe

Neutrinos

At the core of the theory behind the Human Design System is a sub-atomic particle called the neutrino. Neutrinos are energy particles with mass. They are literally the breath of stars, streaming out from our sun and other stars in our universe. Over three trillion neutrinos pass through every square inch of our bodies each second, transmiting information from every other object they have passed through, and taking with them information about us.

Synthesis

The Human Design System synthesizes parts of the following ancient traditions: Kaballah Tree of Life, the Hindu-Brahmin Chakra System, the various systems of Astrology, and the Taoist I’Ching. Within the context of Human Design, elements from the systems take on different meaning and significance. These ancient sources of knowledge combined with scientific and genetic theory, can provide valuable tools that can help us broaden our perspective.

Mechanics of awakening

Many ancient traditions focus on the pursuit of awareness and on becoming “awake” or “enlightened." Zen Buddhism is one of these traditions. Zen is all about correct action through awareness. It emphasizes the importance of working with the mind in an effort to understand how our preconceptions and expectations shape our lives.

The Human Design System is also concerned with correct action. Correct action in Human Design terms is action that is uniquely suited to the individual and the situation at hand. It places an emphasis on practical tools to guide each individual to correct action for him or herself. It does not tell you what correct action is. It gives you a tool to discover that for yourself: your Strategy, based upon your unique Design.
