    How Your HumanDesign Affects Your

    Health

    Part 1By Chetan Parkyn

    Good health is not a guarantee for us, even though the human is an incredibly

    resilient and versatile specie. Our bodies can survive and prosper in all kinds ofdiverse environments, eat and digest an enormous spectrum of foods and liquids and

    yet, we can still be prone to disease.

    The implication of the word 'dis-ease' is that we are made to feel uncomfortablewithin our body when we allow certain anomalies to penetrate its workingmechanism. Many older people, when asked what are the greatest qualities of life,

    will always say that health is the most important thing. Guarding and nourishing ourhealth is of primary importance.

    This article is not written from a medical point of view, either from a Westernperspective, which is a medical system that has evolved in large part from a military

    presence on battlefields, (the Surgeon General is still the top medical official in theUSA), nor from an Eastern perspective, which has evolved from a meditative,

    empathic and more abstract viewpoint. It is written from a perspective of viewing thehuman being from Human Design. This is the first of a three-part article on Health in

    the New Millennium.

    Defined and Undefined

    In Human Design terms, there is an enormous difference between a Center that isdefined and a Center that is undefined. When a Center is defined, it means that the

    function relating to that Center is turned on, reliable, and consistently available at alltimes. When a Center is undefined, it means that the function relating to that Center

    is inconsistent; it is NOT always available. The undefined Center only becomes

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    2/21

    activated when another person (who has that Center defined in their own Design)comes into the presence of the person with the undefined Center, or when a

    transiting planet completes a definition. When this happens, the undefined center istemporarily defined.

    As we look into a body graph, we can instantly see what part of the chart is defined,and what part is undefined. This is how we see which of the person's energetics is

    running consistently, and what part of the being is conditioned by the environment.All of us are subjected to "healthy" and "unhealthy" environments and we each

    respond to those environments according to our own personal makeup. When wehave an undefined center in our Design, we are prone to taking on and absorbing the

    energies relating to that center. Usually this happens through the presence of otherpeople in our lives who have those centers defined in their own Design. When we are

    in an environment that is "unhealthy" we need to be aware of the potentially "dis-easing" effect of those around us. This is not to suggest that we should go through

    our lives keeping everyone at arm's length, but rather, it is to make clear that eachof us has to take responsibility for our own being, our own wholeness. For instance,

    if we have undefined Mental Centers in our Human Design, there is absolutely nopoint in trying to rationalize our way through life, because we are surely processing

    other people's thoughts.

    The Heart

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    3/21

    The human heart is an amazing organ. It provides our very pulse, and keeps theriver of life flowing through us. Thus, it is one of the saddest statements in the world

    that, according to medical statistics, heart disease ranks highest on the list ofdiseases that affect humans. It seems a tragedy that this part of us should be so

    prone to disease.

    In Human Design, the Heart Center is the place within us from which we derive ourwillpower; it is the place within our makeup from which we draw the willingness toproceed and select what we 'want' to do within our lives.

    The Heart by Design

    If one looks at the Heart Center in the Human Design Body graph, it is apparent that

    there are only four channels that make an energetic connection to it.

    There is the 40-37, the Community, Family channel which connects to the Emotional,Solar Plexus Center. Next, there is the 44-26, the Transmitter Channel, which

    connects to the Splenic, Immune Center. The third channel is the 51-25, theInitiation Channel which connects into the Self or the Liver Center. The last one is

    the 21-45, The Money Channel, which connects to the Throat or the Thyroid Center.Out of 36 potential channels in the Human Design Energetic makeup, only four give

    access to the Heart Center, our place of Willpower.

    If one considers this from a statistical point of view, there is a low possibility ofanyone having a definition into their Heart Center. Most people in the world do not

    have a defined Heart Center. Most people do not have access consistently to theirown source of willpower. The results of this fact are plain:

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    4/21

    If you have a defined Heart Center, you can access your willpower, and, hopefully,

    apply it successfully within the context of the rest of your Design. I say 'hopefully,'because it is vital to consider your Type, your consistent means of accessing the

    world around you, and your Authority, your personal decision-making process, which

    we have discussed in previous articles.

    If you have an undefined Heart Center, you cannot consistently apply willpower intoyour world, and if you attempt to do so, you will doubtless end up straining your

    heart and the mechanisms related to it. With an undefined Heart Center, committingto something or someone becomes entirely relative to your environment. Your life

    presence here is one in which you do not have to prove anything to anyone, neitherto yourself, to your parents, or your boss, or your family. There IS nothing to prove

    to anyone.

    I always tease people with an undefined Heart Center, telling them that if they

    should ever, for any apparent reason, feel the urge to go out and prove something,they would do far better to just find some Bach Flower remedies or homeopathic

    remedies that reduce their sense of willfulness; or make a cup of tea, have a goodlaugh and sit down... for they will immediately feel much better!

    The Solar Plexus, Emotional Center

    Emotions rule the world. Whoever gets the most upset, has the most power, since

    the rest of us will immediately try anything to calm them down, knowing that if we

    don't do something to defuse the situation, they will either blow a fuse or else injuresomeone, either physically or psychically. Babies learn very early on that if theyrequire something, they merely have to throw a tantrum to get quick results. It is

    inevitable that we will all suffer some degree of emotional bruising during ourlifetime; that is just a normal part of being human.

    The Emotional, Solar Plexus Center registers the highs and lows of life. It is wherewe get to experience the pleasures and disasters of life through food, relationships,

    sex and all kinds of thrills and spills. Life would be dull indeed without these

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    5/21

    experiences, but we know that, in the end, none of these experiences bring lastingsatisfaction, and yet, we still tend to pursue them! These days, we humans seem to

    be getting crazier than ever in our thirst to witness and indulge in extremeexperiences.

    A defined Emotional Center generates a wave pattern, touching between the highs

    and lows of life: the highs are the hopes, expectations and delights, and the lows arethe pains, disasters and depressions. If you go up, you also go down. If you are

    'attached' to going up, inevitably you are 'attached' to going down. If you go up

    without any attachment and expectation, you can be unattached on the downturn.This gives you the possibility of finding a place of clarity in your emotions, and

    emotional clarity opens a gateway to Spirit.

    An undefined Emotional Center picks up and amplifies the waves generated bypeople with defined Emotional Centers. If the emotional atmosphere created by

    people with defined Emotional Centers is high, up and excited, the person with anundefined Emotional Center will be ecstatic. However, when the emotional

    atmosphere falls, the person with the undefined Emotional Center crashesemotionally. If you have an undefined Emotional Center, it is essential to

    comprehend something: Yes, you can express emotions, but, no, you cannotnecessarily stabilize and control them.

    If you have a defined Emotional Center, it is essential for you to understand that youare continually generating emotional waves, setting the tone of the emotional

    atmosphere around you. That is your nature. So, if you are in a good mood, you will

    see that everyone around you is in a good mood, but if you are feeling grumpy andupset, you will tend to emanate that wave of emotion around you. Sometimes youare excellent company to be around, and other times, you are not such good

    company. In the latter case, it does not imply that you need to go around shaking a

    little bell, calling out: "Unclean!" as lepers did in the dark ages. But it does imply thatsometimes it is far healthier for everyone, and especially for you, if you take some

    space to yourself until the mood shifts, the wave rises and you feel like "joining in"

    again. People with defined Emotional Centers are here to process the highs and lowsof life. This process requires time for reflection, and when given that time, it yields

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    6/21

    the most profound view of life as a human. Clarity from an emotional perspective canlead to profound wisdom.

    However you live your life, if you try to ignore your emotions, you will end up getting

    sick. Some of the diseases related to the emotional center include: breathing andlung problems, stomach upsets, eating and digestive disorders, diabetes, bladder

    and sexual problems.

    Sooner rather than later, everyone will see how essential it is to relate intelligently toour wonderful emotional nature as humans. It is through our touch to the emotions

    that we can access Spirit. If we shut down our emotions or allow the center of ouremotions to become diseased, we can become immune to Spirit and lose access to

    our highest potentials.

    The Root Center

    The Root Center in Human Design relates specifically to the Adrenal glands, which,among other things, supply the pressure that gets us into motion to provide for

    ourselves in this world. The adrenals connect us particularly to the deep underlyingfear of whether we are going to "make it" in life or not. Does Existence rememberus, or do we have to make a particular effort to be included in the scheme of things?

    The Root Center is the center of Stress! In the 21st century, particularly in America,

    and perhaps most places, stress seems to thrive! So, understanding the place ofstress in the Human Design chart can be a valuable study.

    If you have a defined Root Center, it implies that you are someone who is not only

    equipped to handle stress but who also can promote stress in people who have theirRoot Center undefined! This is neither a good nor a bad thing, because all of us from

    time to time need to access adrenaline energy, otherwise nothing would ever getstarted! It is just that a defined Root Center exerts the impetus for something to get

    launched, and if you have an undefined Root Center, you may well get set intomotion unwittingly, living on someone else's deadline! I always tease people with an

    undefined Root Center, telling them that they are 'born procrastinators!' Within theirown makeup they do not have consistent pressure to get things started and they

    need to be particularly careful about what deadlines they agree to meet. Committingto unrealistic deadlines causes uncalled-for stress that the person with an undefined

    Root Center is not equipped to handle.

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    7/21

    Depending on which channel defines the Root Center, there will be a particular drive,either through the Emotional Center, where the emotions get stirred up, or through

    the Spleen Center, where physical energy is exerted, or through the Sacral, SexCenter, where the Life Force Energy is engaged. It is through the Sacral Center

    connections (the three channels called Format Channels in Design) that the shape ofwhatever we set in motion in our life is determined. These Format Channels

    determine the outcome of everything in our lives, from source. The way in whichdisease takes its course in our bodies is determined from the way in which it startsout in the Format Channels. All of us know perfectly well that if we succumb to stress

    we will most likely soon find ourselves getting sick!

    Your Design reading can really help

    An awareness of your Design shows you continuously where in your makeup you are

    vulnerable to disease and how to make simple adjustments in your life to avoid,counter and treat any disease. Of one thing every healer is assured and most agree:

    humor is the best medicine, thus, it is very important to not take oneself tooseriously!

    Old Mrs. Grumblebum goes every day to visit her doctor. The doctor, a very patientman, humors her, listens quietly and sometimes gives her medicines. One day, Mrs.

    Grumblebum doesn't show up. The next day, the doctor asks, "Where were you

    yesterday? I missed you!"

    I'll tell you the truth," replies Mrs. Grumblebum, "I was sick!"

    Sickness is the body's way of cleansing. It is a natural process. Our great meditation

    in this life is to make sure that we catch the "right" sicknesses that cleanse our bodyin a "right" way. A comprehension of your Human Design shows you immediately

    where you are consistent in all aspects of your life and where you are potentiallyvulnerable and therefore susceptible to taking on things that can cause you dis-ease.

    How Your HumanDesign Affects Your

    8/21

    Health

    Part 2By Chetan ParkynWe have evolved within the human body over thousands of years, adjusting and

    shaping our bodies and their functions for countless and unknown experiences.Disease and illnesses have had their sway over the course of history, and always, to

    date, the human body has adapted. It is said in a study in Europe, that thedescendants of those who recovered from Bubonic Plague in the Middle Ages have a

    greater immunity to the depleting disease of AIDS.

    No one in the Western world will deny that in these days we are being exposed to

    greater and greater changes in our lives. Our bodies and all aspects thereof are

    being exposed to greater levels of stress, pollution, ozone depletion, and geneticallymodified foods and medicines. Can we adapt successfully, and who will survive the

    coming ages?

    In this article, we examine the body's function and response from the viewpoint ofHuman Design in three areas: The Sacral Center (The Sex Center), The Spleen (The

    immune system), and the Self Center (The Liver). We also look at the Design oflegendary Jimi Hendrix to see some of the correlations between Design and health.

    The Sacral Powerhouse

    The Sacral Center gives us access to Life Force energy. It provides us with the power

    to fertilize, impregnate, and nurture others and ourselves, and also to forge our way

    through life. It is the center in Design we call the "Generator" Center because of itsapparently ceaseless supply of living energy. People who have this center defined in

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    9/21

    their chart can "keep on keeping on" when the rest of us tire. They can appear to beone-paced and do not appreciate, on any level, being interrupted while "in the

    middle of something." Many of the world's great athletes who involve themselves in"repetitive movements" in their sport, for example tennis players, have a defined

    Sacral Center.

    In general, the great thing that people with defined Sacral Centers must establish for

    themselves is to what activities and to which people, they are going to give their"Life Force" energy. The recognition comes through responding from their Sacral

    Center, allowing the affirmation of Life Force energy to present its own wisdom inrelation to any commitments, rather than, for example, trying to rationalize a

    situation from the mind, or feel forced through the pressures of stress to commit.

    In physical terms, if the access to or supply of Life Force energy is interrupted or

    misdirected there can be a breakdown in that person's health and well-being, leadingto exhaustion and depletion.

    The Spleen, "Feel-good" Center

    The Spleen Center relates to our Immune System and is always looking out for our

    physical health and well-being. It embodies the senses of Taste, Smell and Intuition,senses that, moment by moment, guide us into situations that are healthy for us,

    and away from situations which are hazardous for us. There are many expressions inlanguage which emphasize the Spleen's capacity to engage with our environment

    and alert us to our circumstances: "It leaves a strange taste!" "I smell a rat!""Something tells me.....!"

    People with a defined Spleen Center in their Design usually feel good aboutthemselves and often have the capacity to make everyone else feel good about

    themselves as well.

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    10/21

    However, there are limits for people with defined Spleen Centers. If the person with

    a defined Spleen Center takes on too much in their life, disregarding their Intuition,taste or Instinct, their Spleen Center may become overloaded and fail, causing them

    to become very, very sick.

    People with undefined Spleen Centers characteristically get sick often as children,but, provided they rest and recover completely from an illness, their immune system

    adjusts. As the person gets older, they become stronger and stronger in health.

    Typically, in times of sickness, a defined Spleen Center can process drugs,

    particularly Allopathic Chemical remedies, whereas, undefined Spleens cannotconsistently process drugs. Undefined Spleen Centers, being highly sensitive, can

    adjust and heal through lightweight dosages of lightweight medicines, for example,homeopathic and "gentle" herbal remedies.

    The Self, Liver Center

    In Human Design, the Self Center gives us access to our sense of direction, purpose,

    and love in life. The eight gates which make up the Self Center in the body graphconnect into the twelve signs of the zodiac and, when the sun passes through them,

    align with the eight seasonal high points of the year, including the solstices,equinoxes and other festivals marking the middles of the seasons.

    11/21

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    12/21

    People who have defined Self Centers typically know where they are going and howthey fit into the scheme of events in their life, more obviously so than those with

    undefined Self Centers. Defined Self Centers are consistently connected into theways of the world. They appear to routinely fulfill a sense of purpose, either through

    their life direction or through their sense of belonging and love connections withothers.

    People with undefined Self Centers constantly push the boundaries of life as thoughthey have no limits at all. It appears sometimes that there is no consistency in what

    they do, where they go, or with whom they are affiliated. When someone with anundefined Self Center brings all their friends together, those friends will be really

    puzzled in trying to see common ground among everyone present. There can be anexperience for someone with an undefined Self Center that occasionally they are

    "lost in space," and disconnected from the run of life around them. The mostimportant key for them is to connect with the "right" people; people who recognize

    and appreciate them, so that they connect into a healthy personal direction in life.

    Some examples of people with defined and undefined Self Centers are Sir Winston

    Churchill and Amelia Earhart.

    Since the Self Center is associated with the Liver, the influence of alcohol can blur

    the sense of direction and the appropriateness of relationships. Typically, people withdefined Self Centers can process alcohol easier than those with undefined Self

    Centers.

    The Design of Jimi Hendrix

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    13/21

    Jimi was born on November 7, 1942 in Seattle, Washington. In his Design chart hehas a defined Throat (Expression) Center connected to a defined Self (Liver) Center.

    He has a defined Sacral (Sex, Life Force) Center connected to a defined Emotional(Solar Plexus) Center connected to a defined Root (Stress) Center. Defined Centers

    are continuously and consistently available energetically. He also has an undefinedSpleen (Immune) Center and an Undefined Ajna (Mental awareness) Center.

    Undefined Centers turn on and off, energetically, depending on who else is present inthe aura.

    Jimi has open Heart (Willpower) and Crown (Inspirational) Centers. Open centershave no gates colored in on them in the Design. With an open center in a design, the

    person is not necessarily attuned to the nature of that center in the same way as ifthey had some gates colored in. Thus, Jimi, with his open Willpower Center, can be

    oblivious to the competitive nature of the world, or can, from time to time, becompletely overwhelmed and consumed by it. Also, with an open Crown Center, he

    can be a pure conduit for inspiration, or he can be beset by doubts, confusions andmental pressures, which are a part of other people's realities and which he cannot

    easily assimilate into his own life.

    By Design, Jimi expresses himself as a natural leader with an incredible power of

    direction in his voice. He relates in such an intensely intimate way that he cannot beignored by anyone. He is also deeply provocative, spirited, moody, romantic,

    melancholic and potentially depressive. He is an Emotional Generator, which meanshe is designed to respond to life from a place of being clear, emotionally. Rushing

    into things is always a source of problems and frustrations for him. Open hearted, itis always hard for Jimi to know what it is he wants until he is involved in it, and he is

    not designed in any way to be competitive.

    Open-minded, he has the capacity for far reaching thoughts and to be inspired by

    things that might appear ordinary and everyday to others, until Jimi brings his ownparticularly powerful expression to them. With an undefined Spleen Center, Jimi does

    not always necessarily feel good about himself. With his extensive (natural) swingsin mood, to the highest and lowest extremes through his adrenalized and emotional

    nature, he easily gets drawn towards mood-enhancing drugs, which his undefinedSpleen has great difficulty in processing.

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    14/21

    Jimi's very survival depends on his being able to decline commitments to people andthings about which he does not have emotional clarity. His downfall comes through

    mixing alcohol (which his defined Self/Liver Center can handle) with drugs (which hisundefined Spleen Center cannot handle) in an attempt to align his moods to the

    world around him. Jimi might still be with us today if he had found the clarity to alignhis world to his moods.

    How Your HumanDesign Affects Your

    HealthPart 3

    By Chetan ParkynLife is not a success story, nor is it a tragedy story, either. It is a journey during

    which there are many instances of potential delight and many of seeming calamity.How we view our life depends entirely on our point of view and our perspective.

    Every discussion has at least two outlooks, every debate at least two sides.

    At this time in our evolution we have arrived at a point in the post-information age

    where we can no longer hold onto and assimilate all the facts and informationavailable to us. We are blinded by comparisons, countless details, factoids and half-

    truths until we can barely function outside of a state of overwhelming mentalexhaustion.

    The indication is that we are over-using our minds in a vain attempt to make theright decisions for ourselves in our lives. Mind was never designed as a place for

    decision making -how can you ever find clarity in a device which is split neatly into

    two halves, each containing its own perfect viewpoint?

    In this article, we examine the mind, and ways in which we express it in the light ofHuman Design, and see how healthy it is for us to say and do the things we think we

    think.

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    15/21

    In closing, we shall examine the Design of Fredrich Nietzsche, a great philosopherand thinker, whose works, adopted by the German Nazi party, affected the world for

    all time.

    The Crown Center, our source of questioning

    In Design terms, the Crown Center is our place of inspiration. It provides a pressurefor us to attempt to assimilate information which is apparently sourced outside of

    ourselves into explanations which we can absorb and equate within us. The CrownCenter can be in a state of constant puzzlement, puzzling through what it is that we

    perceive to be going on here in life. It is always goading us to make sense, tounderstand and "know" what life is.

    Within the late Douglas Adams' stories related to the Hitchhiker's Guide to theGalaxy, there is a sequence of references in which all the computing powers of the

    Universe are programmed and focused to work out the answer to the "Meaning ofLife." After thousands upon thousands of years of untold gazillions of computer

    calculations, the answer arrives: 42.

    Of course, the answer is 42, as much as it might be anything else!

    In his days of enlightenment and teaching, a story is told of Gautama the Buddha,who was almost constantly surrounded by his many followers, but who, one day, was

    walking through a forest accompanied only by his cousin, Ananda. Ananda realizeshis moment of having the great mystic to himself, and asks the Buddha if he has told

    them everything that can be told, or is he, perhaps, holding out on something?

    In response, Buddha reached down and picked up a handful of leaves. Waving the

    leaves in front of Ananda, Buddha indicated that these leaves represent whatever itis that can be told; that he, the Buddha, had told through his sutras and stories that

    which the human mind could grasp. And then he waves his hands, indicating theforest floor.

    "And do you see all the other leaves here in the forest?" Asks Buddha. "Thisrepresents what cannot be told because it is quite beyond the grasp of the human

    mind."

    The Crown Center and its connections to solutions at the Ajna Center

    Unlike any of the other centers in the Human Design chart, the Crown Center, (thePineal Gland), the in-spiration center, connects only to one other center, the Ajna

    Center, (the Pituitary Glands) the place of cognition, mental awareness and analysis.The Crown Center has only three gates within it which interpret the pressure to

    explain our presence here in living form. These gates operate through thedimensions of doubts, confusions and an inner sense of balance.

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    16/21

    Doubts relate almost exclusively to our projecting into the future, confusions relate

    to our connections with the past, and "balance" or "imbalance" relates to our

    perception of knowing our place in the scheme of life.

    If any one of these gates becomes overly energized, it is easy for the person to getdistracted and unbalanced in their life, trying to resolve or equate something which

    cannot be explained. Many of us walk around with a dense furrow on our browbecause we think we think we can think our way through life. In essence, what we

    are indicating with these furrows is that we are over-energizing our doubt thatExistence still remembers us, and has a perfect plan for us... if only we can stop

    thinking about our concerns long enough to regain our access to the plan.

    In a Design chart, if the Crown Center is colored in yellow, it is defined, implying that

    there is always a pressure available to be thinking. If the Crown Center is colored in

    white, it implies that the pressure to think only happens when someone elseenergizes that pressure because they themselves have the Crown Center defined intheir own Design.

  • 7/29/2019 0 - Human Design - You Health - HUMAN DESIGN SYSTEM

    17/21

    It can be seen in the Designs of Pablo Picasso and Walt Disney, two of the greatrecognized creative geniuses of the twentieth century, that they both have

    completely different ways of accessing their creativity. The common ground for theirexpression is not the Crown Center and the place of inspiration, but rather, their

    defined Self Centers, their personal sense of "connectedness" in life and theappreciation given to them, from the world around the, for who they are and what

    they relate.

    The Ajna Center, the "solution" center

    Has it ever been said that women generally don't look for solutions, but rather,would like an opportunity to express their concerns? Somehow they know that life

    itself is a mystery and not a problem, and any good mystery is only really good wheneven its outcome baffles us. I am not deriding the power of the mind and the

    incredible "solutions" for which it must, in part, take credit, but I am saying it is agreatly over-rated bio-computer. Instead of the mind being allowed to operate on

    auto-pilot, running the many functions which our lives require of it, it has becomethe focal point of our attentions, the boss. It has taken over.

    In the past 10 years, most people in the world have been exposed to the computer,which in simple terms is a machine reflecting our mind, the binary flip-flop process

    between left hemisphere and right hemisphere. And most of us have a certain dread

    of this apparatus which is quietly overtaking our lives, whether it be through the 2.4million surveillance cameras located throughout the UK, many of which can scan any

    person walking down the street and, through particular software, identify them, orthe computerized box which sits under our desk, essential, expensive and apparently

    capable of wonders, but remaining unbelievably frustrating in its stupidity and

    inability to please us. Mind never satisfies.

    The Ajna Center operates through the senses of sight through light, and inner

    knowing, coming through the dimension of sound. It attunes from the Pituitaryglands, the Doors of Perception, through the eyes and the inner ear to the

    inspirations, which enter through the Pineal gland. It rationalizes, cogitates,ruminates and projects its findings to the Throat Center where we exchange our

    perceptions with those around us through speech. Constantly the Ajna is trying toget things to "fit" within the realm of what it perceives around it, because when

    things seem to "fit," there is a good chance someone else will be able to relate to it,somehow. The collective enjoys having things fit. Here inn America, for instance, we

    see the good sense in everyone driving on the right, an apparently perfect two-dimensional solution to a three-dimensional situation.

    Does having a defined (continuously active ) Ajna Center imply one is clever? Well,

    in some ways it is possible, but being really clever involves being able to master your

    mind and relegate it again to the information-handling device it so perfectly is. If youhave an undefined mind, it gives you the possibility of a lifetime in which you canwatch the machinations of the mind.

    The Throat Center, Expression

    In Design, the Throat Center relates to the Thyroid and Parathyroid glands, which

    control the making of thyroid hormones, which in turn regulate the body'smetabolism. In the first few days after conception, the Throat Center is the energetic

    foundation for the fetus, and ultimately affects the formation and operation of all theother centers, throughout the body's lifetime.

    The Throat Center is our place of articulation, expression and manifestation. It is themost complex of all the centers in the body graph and, particularly in these days, it

    handles intense pressures. We use it to describe our world; to explain who we are,what we do, how we live and, beyond that, it is the center from which we create in

    the world through manifestation.

    There are at least 11 different voices in the Throat Center which we use to express

    ourselves; our great challenge in life is to identify the voices which most closelyrepresent our truth and use them in a right way. Having one of the voice gatesactivated in a Design gives you access to that particular form of expression, but in

    order to use that voice on your terms, you need to wait your turn, until you get yourcue. For instance, if you are a Generator in Design, you can only speak or engage

    your energy in response. A Projector needs to wait for invitation. Using the voice, orattempting to manifest in any circumstances, ultimately leads to the thyroid gland

    being strained energetically, which in turn leads to the whole metabolism being

    affected.

    One has to realize that the age old adage of "putting your money where your mouthis," or "walking your talk," may not be possible for many people in terms of their

    Design. To engage in something just because you hear yourself talking about itmight not be in your best interests at all. Certain words are bandied about which

    have a very deleterious effect on our lives: words like, "should," "could," "would,""must," "might," constrain us into actions which have nothing to do with our

    makeup.

    The Design of Fredrich Nietzsche, one of the world's great thinkers

    In his Design, Fredrich Nietzsche is an Emotional Manfestor with a ManifestingGenerator aspect and a defined mind. He is a feeling, thinking, doing person, whose

    whole life journey relates to providing a description for everything that happens hereon earth. He observes the processes of growth and change and relates them to what

    he sees as universal underlying principles at work in our Universe.

    He is a feeling man with a great "lust for life" that drives him into a myriad ofexperiences with all kinds of people who encourage his deeply held feelings for

    dramatic change. He has a push within him to take on any project which appearsinteresting to him, sometimes completing things in a hurry and dispelling his

    companions so that he can get started with the next project before he hasestablished a sense of inner, emotional clarity about that next project.

    He is obsessed with correction, particularly with correcting what he sees as illogicalin his world and especially within himself. He allows his logical mind, which is defined

    unconsciously to his Throat Center - meaning that he never knows what he is goingto think or say next - to rule his world, despite the fact that his mind largely

    disagrees with his feelings and his way of doing things. In other words, with anundefined Self Center, Fredrich never clearly knows who he is at any given moment

    in time, allowing his unconscious mind to take over and juggle with many identities.An undefined Heart Center makes him prone to seeking companionship with whoever

    appears supportive.

    There is no question that Nietzsche brings into form some amazing and profound

    thoughts, and thought-provoking insights. His undoing is in the placement of theplanet Uranus in the 25 gate, where he continually gives way from his deeper clarity

    in what is right for him, and passes off his startling thoughts for an expression oftruth.

    In conclusion

    The mind is an incredible tool, but it is just a part of our being, having the ability to

    assimilate and process many sources of information for us. The Throat has been oursource of communication and manifesting, but if ever there was a time to be clear in

    these areas of our lives, that time is now. Communication has become a burden tothe psyche with hundreds of TV channels of "talking heads" talking endless

    nonsense. Manifesting has brought about a non-stop-shop-til-you-drop culture. OurSpirit calls out for quality in life and this can only be found when we find ourself,

    complete and perfect and accepted in all our dimensions.
