AwarenessI'll not tire to say it again and again: in attempting to understand real Human Design, it is crucial for you to realize that, of course, you are living exactly your design, exactly as you’re designed to be. Always have, always will, and all without any effort. Your life is your design. Relax. True, there are aspects you don’t like, it’s not all just as you want it to be, you strive, you get hurt, you get tossed around, you try to protect yourself, you get your wires crossed. Life is suffering, as Buddha said, caused by the discrepancy between your desires and what is. Nevertheless, realize, your crossed wires are also part of the design of your life. The wires are inevitably crossed just right at any time on your path. This recognition is the source of awareness, when you begin to see what is, instead of what you want. This unbiased observation is what makes all the difference. It is what makes your journey an upward spiral. With every turn, your awareness deepens, your horizon broadens, your clarity increases, your crossed wires untangle a little more. Awareness cannot possibly be limited to just three centers of the body and by now I’m sure that this was one of the numerous ways Ra lead his followers astray. By naming three of the nine centers “awareness” centers, he limited the understanding and practice of awareness itself. No wonder: in his ignorance he declared from the beginning that all that “white stuff” didn’t interest him. Lazy and devastating oversight. The concept was seductive, because it seemed for the first time you could put a finger onto the elusive awareness and say, that’s where it is. So I went along with it like everyone else - there was certainly something to it, these three are different from the others - but it just never sat quite right with me. By that time, I had been around the block a few times and awareness was especially dear research to me. I had practiced it for 22 years before I even met Ra. So, while continuing to explore the novel hypothesis of Human Design, his “awareness” centers went to the periphery of my vision as something unresolved, something that time will expose as true or not. Something that hasn’t yet clicked into place. It hung out there at the periphery for years, while related pieces clicked into place. All the while I knew for a fact that I can be aware of my Sacral’s imperative and how it expresses in my life at any moment in time; I can be aware of my Heart’s desire to share and its mimosa reaction to broken trust; I can be aware of my Ji’s current position and direction, and so on: awareness is possible in all centers. And the chakra yogis have insisted since millenia that not only is it possible, it is necessary. There is Ra's and all of his disciples' crime: By limiting awareness to three centers, all the others are automatically exempt from awareness, don’t require attention and practice. That’s just wrong and can only come from a mind ignorant of awareness. That’s how Human Design, Jovian Human Design, became nothing more than a mental exercise, a mindfuck, smothering reality with opinions, labels and keynotes, missing its great opportunity to actually understand this very body from the inside out, beyond words. It’s the body graph, after all, and only three of its 36 channels have words. Okay, so if awareness is possible and needed in all centers, then Ra’s three “awareness” centers might simply be mis-named, based on his limited perspective? What makes them different from the others? If it isn’t awareness, what is it? And so it finally clicked into place: they are the human interfaces with the environment, the interface with the rational, natural world, the interface with the irrational, human world, and the interface with the subjective, personal world. They are the centers of perception. So, my recommendation is to replace the term “Awareness center” with “Perception” in your mind, if you study Human Design Revealed or the old Centers reference card or any of Zeno's classes. With this small adjustment, awareness is finally in its rightful place again, free to encompass all of a life. If there is destiny and purpose to life, awareness is it. To my understanding, the whole aim of existence is to become aware and humans are the current spearheads. We are Vishnu's avatars, who's dreaming the world, the maya, while asleep and desiring to wake up. Awareness is not found in the body graph. It encompasses it. It is the ability to take a step back from yourself and see your play on the stage of life. While being driven by your necessities and desires, for example, you take a step back and witness those necessities and desires, in the present. You don’t judge, you don't interfere, you don’t try to manipulate, you just see, while life is going on. Apart from rare cases of grace, this isn’t automatic, but has to be practiced and can seem hard. But even just realizing that this is actually possible and to commit to practicing is a monumental pivot in a life. And from then on, it’s an upward spiral. Awareness leads to acceptance. Love

AI"Thanks for doing what you are doing over there. I’m not surprised that the Jovians now use AI. No big difference to what they did before, with their machine reports and their parroting of what others thought before them. They never knew how to use their NI (Natural Intelligence) to begin with, so artificial is right up their alley. Like “social media,” AI is a big scam, not the “artificial” part, but the “intelligence” part, designed to manipulate, enslave and exploit. Anyone in their right mind will recognize that if it’s artificial it cannot be intelligent. It may be a great aggregator of information, sure, but to describe it as intelligent is showing either a lack of intelligence or maliciousness. Where is the love? Woe to humanity, abdicating their NI to machines designed by the greedy and powerhungry! Let's not lose our integrity and sovereignty with artificial "intelligence," but develop our innate natural intelligence and find love and compassion, its ultimate expression! And while I'm at it: Let's not deceive ourselves and others with the false promise of "social media," let's have a few real friends instead of hundreds of illusionary "friends," let's be real, really talk to each other, touch each other, hug each other from head to toe, feel each other's heartbeat and breath, sleep with each other, be in each other's aura. That's real community.
Mobile OptimizationI was recently contacted by a well-meaning gentleman who offered to overhaul my admittedly old website to better fit modern times. He sounded genuine and so I responded with cautious interest, but mentioned that I had no plans connecting it with “social media” or implement “mobile optimization” so it could be read on “smart” phones or get better positioning on Google. One sentence in his answer spoiled it for me: “Mobile optimization isn’t a philosophical position anymore, it’s just part of how people read.” Yes, and that’s the problem. “How people read” is more like “people don’t know how to read anymore,” because what they think they’re reading is little more than sound bites, slogans and propaganda made to fit their tiny screens and miniscule attention spans. Therefore, they can no longer understand oxymorons like “philosophical position.” Philosophy is the Love of Truth. You either love it or are oblivious to it. The truth is the truth is the truth, to paraphrase Gertrude. There is no “position” possible. There is no subjective truth, there’s no such thing as “my truth” or “your truth.” At best, there is subjective interpretation of truth, which likely isn’t the truth at all. So, “mobile optimization” was never philosophical in the first place, but commercial and manipulative. It is part of the ruse to dumb people down, stunt their education and turn them into docile and easily manipulated sheep, who think they aren't. The pretense of real information offered on those tiny screens seduces them to distract themselves at any time anywhere they are. It’s devastating to the practice of awareness. I see someone, almost anyone by now, sitting in a coffee shop, headphones in ears, staring and pecking at a cell phone and eating cake. They are doing at least three things at the same time, but neither tasting their coffee, nor hearing their music, nor processing what they're reading, nor being aware of their environment or even themselves. How often did I have to evade one of these clowns on the street, oblivious of where they are! And how often did I sit in a coffee shop, without a phone, and any contact with any other guests is impossible. Coffee shops used to be meeting places, where life was discussed and explored! Nothing has removed human beings more from their natural intelligence than those stupid smart phones. I can't in good conscience support this, no matter what it costs me in revenue or the attention of most people. I’d rather stay poor and alone. That's also the reason why Auracle doesn't work on phones. If you think you need to dilute the study of real Human Design with myriad distractions, Zen Human Design is not for you! You are not one of the people I’m looking for. Those are exactly what made Jovian Human Design so stupid. Mind you, I’m no Luddite. I am using a mobile for helpful tasks like Maps or Translate. I was programming the mainframe computer of a large Swiss company at a time when a single megabyte of RAM took a gadget the size of a noisy American refrigerator. I bought my first computer in 1984 and used it to make music and graphics. In the late 1980s I operated a couple of busy nodes on the Arpanet, years before it turned into the internet and became accessible to everyone with the first Mosaic browser. It’s exactly this early and deep involvement that allowed me to observe its degradation into an instrument of manipulation. I appreciate technology. It's its abuse to serve greed that concerns me. Despite Brin & Page’s earlier noble intentions, Google became evil in August 2004 when it became “public” and sold its soul to the “shareholders.” Since then, greed trumps truth (pun totally intended) on the internet and the subsequent arrival of "social media," "smart" phones and AI only deepened and perpetuated the calamity.
Trump"What do you think of Trump?" Well, that's not really a Human Design question and my honest answer might get my citizenship revoked and even land me in one of his gulags. Nevertheless, if you want to practice reading the body graph, his design is certainly interesting. What moves him? Where is he vulnerable so that, lacking awareness, he feels a need to pretend that he isn't and got his wires crossed? What conditioning does he crave? When on Notables' Find panel, you can check the designs of some of his cronies: Select "Trump administration 2025" from the albums and see who conditions him how. It's pretty remarkable.
The Wheeler Dealer"Immensely enjoyed all of: The Human Caste System! "[*] Largely attributed to: Sacred Symbols of the Ancients as told by Robert Camp in his Love Cards."
Thank you! This made laugh. How appropriate!
