What is Human Design: A Synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science

This revolutionary complex system was founded by Ra Uru Ha in 1987, synthesizing ancient wisdom and modern Science, astrology, the Chakra system, Chinese I Ching, The Tree of Life, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Quantum physics to provide insights into an individual’s personality, behavior, and how they best make decisions and uncover their soul’s life path.

Let’s break it down,

Ancient wisdom:

The Chakra System, Chinese I Ching, and the Tree of Life are distinct concepts from different cultural and spiritual traditions, each with significance and symbolism.

1. Chakra System:
   • The Chakra System is a concept rooted in Indian spiritual traditions, particularly within Hinduism, and later adopted by other spiritual and holistic practices like yoga and Ayurveda.
   • “Chakra” is a Sanskrit word that translates to “wheel” or “disc.” In the context of the Chakra System, it refers to energy centers in the body.
   • Typically, seven main chakras are aligned along the spine, each associated with specific qualities and aspects of human experience. These chakras are believed to be vital energy points that influence physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
2. I Ching:
   • The I Ching, also known as the Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination text and one of the oldest Chinese classics.
   • It consists of 64 hexagrams, each composed of six stacked horizontal lines, broken or unbroken. These hexagrams represent different combinations of yin and yang, two fundamental principles in Chinese philosophy.
   • The I Ching is used for divination, offering guidance and insight into various aspects of life. It is highly influential in Taoism and Confucianism and has been interpreted and studied for centuries.
3. Tree of Life:
   • The Tree of Life is a symbolic concept in various religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions, including Judaism, Christianity, Kabbalah, and Hermeticism.
   • In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the Tree of Life is mentioned in the Book of Genesis as a tree in the Garden of Eden whose fruit grants eternal life.
   • In Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism, the Tree of Life is a diagram representing the divine structure of the universe. It consists of ten interconnected nodes Sephiroth) and represents the path to spiritual enlightenment.
   • In Hermeticism and other mystical traditions, the Tree of Life is often associated with spiritual growth, wisdom, and the interconnectedness of all life.

In summary, the Chakra System, Chinese I Ching, and Tree of Life emerge from diverse cultural and spiritual contexts, providing frameworks for understanding and exploring different aspects of the human experience and the broader cosmos.

Modern Science:

Quantum physics, biochemistry, and genetics are three distinct but interconnected scientific disciplines that contribute to our understanding of the fundamental aspects of the physical world, life processes, and the inheritance of traits. Here’s a brief overview of each:

1. Quantum Physics:
   • Quantum physics, also known as quantum mechanics, is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of particles at the subatomic level.
   • It introduces the concept of quantized energy levels, wave-particle duality, and the uncertainty principle, challenging classical Newtonian physics.
   • Quantum mechanics is essential for understanding the behavior of electrons, photons, neutrinos, and other particles and the properties of matter on a tiny scale.

Neutrinos:

• Neutrinos are tiny, neutral particles that travel almost at the speed of light, bringing valuable information about the universe’s workings.
• Did you know that every second, three trillion neutrinos pass through every square inch of our planet? These tiny cosmic messengers, known as the “breath of stars,” are the exhaled energy of stellar fusion and are more abundant than anything else in the universe. Which means we live and move through a vast, continuous, and inescapable information field. 
• The Sun, our closest star, produces 70% of all neutrinos in our solar system, with the remaining 30% emitted by other stars in the Milky Way galaxy and a small percentage from the planet Jupiter.
• Neutrinos are like the modern equivalent of what the ancients called chi or prana. These particles are extraordinary because they carry information that constantly penetrates us.  
• By interacting weakly with matter, they can help scientists understand astrophysical phenomena and the behavior of matter at the tiniest scales.
• •  

1. Biochemistry:
   • Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms.
   • It focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying various biological functions, such as metabolism, cell structure, and the interactions between biomolecules like proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates.
   • Biochemistry is crucial for understanding the molecular basis of life and provides insights into disease processes, drug development, and other aspects of biology and medicine.
2. Genetics:
   • Genetics studies genes, heredity, and inherited trait variation in living organisms.
   • It involves the analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins to understand how genetic information is stored, replicated, and expressed.
   • Modern genetics explores genetic mutations, gene regulation, genetic engineering, and the role of genetics in evolution and development.
   • There are 64 codons in the genetic code and 64 Hexagrams in the Ancient I’Ching tradition, each with wisdom or theme. The specific gates activated in an individual’s energetic soul blueprint directly align with planetary placements when your soul enters the world. Fascinating right?

In summary, these ancient traditions and modern science provide great insight into the natural world, including the effect of neutrinos and planetary placement on each of us. Human Design has synthesized these ancient traditions with modern science, making it its system in its own right. This fascinating tool gives insight into your energetic soul blueprint, who you are at your core, and who you are meant to be without layers of conditioning.  I have found each energetic blueprint to be wildly specific to each individual. It has helped me understand parts of myself I used to consider weaknesses but now embrace as my superpowers.
