Friends and Colleagues

Certification has been Zeno’s task since the mid-1990s, when as Ra’s agent in America she certified the first Human Design analysts. After our split from Ra, she later resumed with certifications for people who grokked original Human Design and weren’t seduced and sidetracked by the Jovian overlay.

With Zeno’s decline and demise, I took over Zen Human Design full-time and certification remained a legacy with which I was never entirely comfortable. I had evolved, my understanding of Human Design became greater and I realized that certification based on demonstrating knowledge of Zeno’s teaching wasn’t sufficient. Real Human Design is personal and dynamic, an upward spiral, an attitude as much as knowledge. It has a set of simple rules which, if applied to the body graph again and again and compared to actual experience, reveal ever increasing depth. So how do I measure and certify that a student is and remains on that upward spiral?

After more than three decades of rebellious research and profound insights, I started teaching a few years ago in my sessions. It took a while to attract a handful of people who are able and willing to shed the Jovian yoke, but by now I’m confident that I finally have a small group whose members I can regard as my friends, in the sense that they understand and appreciate and are able to apply the radically different perspective of Zen Human Design and grow with it.

These are people who stay in contact with me through my sessions, in which we talk real Human Design every once in a while, and which allow me to tune in to their continued progress over time and judge their level of competency. Soon they will form the core of what I look forward to become a solid group of Friends of Zen Human Design. To become a Friend, talk to me and continue to do so! If you have been certified in the past and want to renew your status, talk to me!

 

Zen Human Design Certification: Friends and Colleagues

Zen Human Design is not a career, but a tool for awareness. Accordingly, its certification is nothing more than an acknowledgement that I find you in tune with its premises, that you understand the mechanics and are able to apply them sensibly to any design. It doesn’t convey any legal rights, except to say that you are a Friend of Zen Human Design.

At this point, I am the sole judge of what Zen Human Design is and whether you’re in tune and deserve certification. I'm calling a core of friends whom I will certify on an individual basis. There are no structures yet in place and certifying this core will help me to see what structures are needing to be developped.

It is my aim in the remaining years of my life to make Zen Human Design independent of me so that it can stand on its own when I’m gone, but preserves teaching and tools, such as Auracle, and continues to grow. Perhaps I will establish a foundation, I’m not sure yet. Friends and Colleagues will play a crucial role in the emergence of transferrable structures.

There are currently two levels of certification: The Friend and the Colleague.

 

The Friend

To become a Friend, you’ll have to be able to apply the basic functions to a body graph and demonstrate to me that you arrive at sensible conclusions that don’t require you to seek refuge in any aspect of the Jovian doctrine.

This is likely a lengthy process and requires a series of sessions with me and perhaps some study of Zeno’s basic classes. It is beneficial to approach from a position of not-knowing. I mean, you are attempting to understand individual refractions of the totality, of God. Humility, honesty and patience are helpful ingredients.

As we go along, both of us will become more confident in your ability to see. When I’m satisfied, I’ll issue your Friend certification and batch, and add you to the public list of Friends if you like.

A friendship has to be maintained. A Friend stays in contact with me and every once in a while, books a session to talk. If I haven’t heard for more than a year or find that you’ve lost it (i.e. became re-infected with JOV-97), the Friend status expires.

You use Auracle for your research. I don’t think it’s possible to really understand the body graph if what you’re looking at is a triangle with a cartoon face or a lumpy bag of intestines. Auracle respects the body graph as a crystalline structure capable of refracting totality as human.

 

The Colleague

You become a Colleague of mine when your Friend status has flourished for a while and I realize in conversation that the application of the basic mechanics has become a matter of course for you and you can stand with it on your own. It’s an inspiration to converse and of course we enjoy to remain in contact. If in the course of time we no longer do and I stop hearing from you, your Colleague status expires.

The Colleague is the only status I trust to potentially be able to teach Zen Human Design and the Teacher will require a further certification level at some point. This also to address these baffling people who think that reading Human Design Revealed and/or having a single session with me qualifies them to teach Zen Human Design. Of course not! Who are they trying to fool?

 

Certification

If you so desire, as a Friend or Colleague you deserve public recognition as a person unburdened and unbiased by the Jovian doctrine, capable of seeing the forces in play in any design. You are the only hope of real Human Design, shout it from rooftops!

To that end, Friends and Colleagues are issued diplomas and batches to present in their offices and websites and link back to a confirmation page on Zen Human Design’s website. This Friends page doesn’t exist yet, but hopefully soon, depending how quickly I can assemble my Friends. You don’t even have to offer Human Design to be on that page. In fact, I'd actually prefer if your genuine Human Design knowledge primarily benefits your awareness and not your bank account. You may be a psychologist, an educator, a writer, an actor, whatever. The mere fact that you grok Zen Human Design and support its aims is enough.

“We are Friends of Zen Human Design. We take nothing for granted, except the basic functions of Human Design as originally presented by Ra and rescued and clarified by Zeno and Chaitanyo. We are not missionaries. We are on a research project, collecting evidence and experience. Most of us are working in other fields, but feel greatly benefitted from our Human Design knowledge.”

Auracle Updates

Auracle recently got a few enhancements, available now to all subscribers.

 

Find Filters

This is an addition to the Find panel I had my eyes on for a while and I’m happy that it’s now working and online. It allows you to filter your database down to criteria you select.

While in passive mode and you use the Find panel as you’re already using it by typing or scrolling through the designs in your database, the applicable characteristics show up as you go on the right side of the panel, which is all by itself a great addition.

Auracle Find filters

What makes the feature outstanding is active mode, which you enter by simply using the buttons and check boxes available. The five buttons 0 to 4 at the bottom filter down to the definition types and the red button (do) shrinks them additionally down to designs to do, while the green button (wait) shows you only designs to wait.

The None button clears the check boxes above. You can then select the criteria you want, like defined (d) or virgin (v) centers, or any defined channels, then click Run, which then lists only the designs that fit the selected criteria. This all works in addition to selected or not selected definition type and mode buttons, and even within any albums you may select.

Of course, this is only helpful if your database contains a sizeable number of designs. If it only contains a few designs, you’ll receive a lot of 0 results. So go ahead and add a lot of birth data, which of course is the best way anyway to learn how the basic functions apply to lived life.

If you get stuck somewhere just click the Find button again, which resets the Find panel to its full content.

 

Notables

The new Find filters are also available in the free Notables database, where it is a particularly helpful research tool because it contains the largest number of designs in all of Auracle’s accounts.

You want to know which authors have channel 11-56 defined for example? Select the album Writers, click None, check 11-56, then Run, see results. It's as simple as that.

The following example looks for the combination of a virgin Root with a defined 44-26 and delivers 20 designs out of the 2852, as diverse as Charles Darwin, Ted Bundy, Laura Bush and Martin Luther.

Time Zone Abbreviations

In addition, we also worked on some flaws in the time zone abbreviations, especially, but not only, for people born in the USSR and in the countries that formed after its break-up. Somebody born in Lithuania, for example, saw BAT for a time zone, which has the correct UT deviation and therefore delivers correct calculations, but is short for Baghdad Time, which of course is nonsense. Now you see MSK before the break-up or EET after the break-up, or MSD or EEDT, respectively, if it was summer time. If you still see a non-sensical abbreviation, simply edit the design (> Context > E) by tabbing through and enter the same time again. This will update the saved design.

 

Nu ook beschikbaar in het Nederlands

Auracle can now be switched to the Dutch language, in addition to English, French and Portuguese. (German, Italian and Spanish, or any other languages for that matter, are still waiting for the right person to do the translations.)

Q&A

Answers to select questions and comments from readers, clients and students.

 

Sleeping Together

"In your last newsletter you wrote that people should sleep together. Do you not believe Ra’s advice that couples should sleep apart?"

I don’t believe anything. I rely on experience while trying to practice awareness. If it feels right and good, I go with it. If it doesn’t, I don’t. If it changes, I go with the change.

You come together with a partner because you feel attracted to each other, as Human Design so wonderfully illustrates. Why would you not sleep together? Doesn’t it feel good? If it does, why would you want to undermine that feeling? If it doesn’t, you’re likely not meant for each other or you’ve grown apart, for whatever reason. If it changes, you simply go with the change and see where it leads you. No external advice needed. No shoulds, no rules, just awareness.

 

The 2027 Prophecy

"What about the 2027 Prophecy?"

These people creep me out as much as the Rapture Christians currently manipulating the nincompoop in the Gilded Office and waging war in the name of Jesus in the Middle East, or the supermen of Germany who initiated World War II. I hope they aren’t breeding little “Raves.” The world has plenty of psychopaths already.

Joke For Today

AI and Consciousness

Right! That’s no doubt what consciousness is: A row of identical machines seriously pretending to be human, staring at screens!

Oh, how did we ever get so arrogant, so calloused, so divorced from awe, from the magic and mystery of life, of love, of consciousness…

---

Chaitanyo means Consciousness.
- Osho, Explanation of my name

Consciousness is the very foundation of existence. Nothing is deeper than that.
- Osho, The New Dawn

Consciousness is all there is.
- Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That

Consciousness is all there is. Awareness is consciousness in movement.
- Ramesh Balsekar, Consciousness Speaks

Being fully responsible is to be fully conscious. ... Being alive is being conscious.
- Sadhguru, Inner Engineering
