A to Z of Being You

By Richard Rudd
Welcome to 'An A to Z of You', Richard Rudd's Free Web-Book about the Human Design
!stem" Human Design #as founded in $%&' b! Ra (ru Hu, and since then has s)read to
man! countries across the #orld" Richard Rudd #as a student of Ra from $%%' to *++, and
is #ell kno#n for his -ne books and stud! aids on Human Design" .n *++/, Richard began to
dee)l! assess the language of Human Design and decided to #rite a ne# kind of
introductor! book in 0argon-free language so that an!one could ha1e free access to this
incredible kno#ledge"
2his Web-Book does not form )art of an! o3cial education in Human Design but is a self-
stud! aid for an!one interested in kno#ing more about themsel1es and those around them"
.f !ou are interested in gaining a )rofessional 4uali-cation in Human Design, !ou can 1isit
0o1ianarchi1e"com, the o3cial #ebsite of Ra (ru Hu, #here !ou #ill -nd full details on all
as)ects of Human Design education"
An A to Z of You #ill be )resented in *5 sections, each one re)resented b! a #ord in the
Al)habet" As each section is #ritten, the corres)onding letter #ill a))ear underlined
Acceptance
.t doesn't sound like a )articularl! e6citing #ord to begin a book #ith, does it7 Acce)tance"
.n fact, it contains #orlds" .f !ou #ere to acce)t !ourself com)letel! and utterl!, right no#,
!our life #ould be utterl! transformed in the blink of an e!e" You #ould ha1e nothing to
#orr! about e1er again" All of our human )roblems - the challenges of relationshi)s, the
concerns about mone!, the fear of being alone, the gra))ling #ith our health, the endless
dail! #orries - the! #ould all be in someone else's hands" You #ouldn't ha1e to #orr! about
an! of it e1er again" .t #ould all be in the hands of life"
8et me tr! to )ut it another #a!" .f !ou came to bu! this book, !ou might -nd it in a section
of the booksho) labelled 'elf-Hel)'" Ah, #hat a delicious iron!, as !ou #ill see9 :ost books in
this 'elf-Hel)' categor! ;and these da!s there are <illions= are based u)on a single theme>
?hange" .f there is something about !our life that !ou #ish to im)ro1e, or a certain challenge
that !ou #ish to surmount, the standard 'elf Hel)' book #ill o@er !ou sound ad1ice about
ho# !ou can change that as)ect of !our life for the better"
But there are t#o t!)es of ?hange" 2here is change that comes out of non-acce)tance, and
there is change that comes out of acce)tance" 2he -rst t!)e of change is )robabl! the
reason #h! !ou might read a book such as this in the -rst )lace" .f there is something about
!our life that !ou are not ha))! #ith, the assum)tion is that !ou can sim)l! go out and
change it for the better" 2his kind of change is the fastest gro#ing business in the #orld
toda! - !ou can be ha))ier, thinner, richer, faster, better, e1en enlightened" 2his kind of
change is based u)on being an!#here or an!thing other than #here !ou are right no#"
2he second t!)e of change comes out of acce)tance" .t is 1er! rare, because it is too eas!"
B! doing nothing, b! sim)l! allo#ing things to be the #a! the! are, a natural change occurs
#ithout our hel)" 2his t!)e of change a))ears to be totall! illogical - it is based onl! u)on
sim)le understanding" .ts onl! re4uirement is that !ou -nall! gi1e !ourself )ermission to be
the #a! !ou are, #arts and all" .f !ou can do this - acce)t !ourself, acce)t !our health,
acce)t !our life situation, acce)t !our irritating mother-in-la#, then !ou #ill #itness the
a#esome )o#er of #hat true acce)tance can do" 2he moment !ou sto) tr!ing to change
things and allo# them to be the #a! the! are, !ou release so much energ! back into !our
life, that it #ill initiate a natural change"
2hat is the domain of this online book - to ins)ire !ou to begin this 0ourne! of self-
acce)tance" You see, some#here along the line, #e ha1e forgotten to trust in life" We ha1e
forgotten a beautiful truth that is )resent e1er!#here in nature - that life is self-healing" .f
!ou lea1e a #ound, it #ill heal itself #ithout !our hel)" A1er!thing about !ou is alread!
correct" .f !ou -nd !ourself unha))!, acce)t !our unha))iness and soon !ou #ill -nd
!ourself ha))! again" But #e humans are so bus! #anting to control our li1es it doesn't
generall! occur to us that life might kno# better than us"
o !ou ma! see m! dilemma" 2his is an Anti-elf-Hel) book, because !our elf doesn't need
an! hel)" When !ou -nall! understand that, )erha)s #hen !ou reach the end of this book,
!ou ma! come to a )oint of )ure acce)tance" Bnl! #hen !ou return to this state can !our
mind e1er sto) #orr!ing about the future, and that is the essence of this kno#ledge - it has
the )otential to actuall! bring an end to !our dail! #orr!ing" For millennia, the m!stics and
#ise ones ha1e gi1en names to this state - 'nir1ana', 'being a#ake', or 'li1ing in the no#',
and des)ite #hat !ou ma! ha1e heard, it can be attained b! an!one" All these glamorous
sounding names sim)l! ser1e to make us think #e ha1e to change or im)ro1e oursel1es
again in order to someho# climb back to this state"
:ost of us sim)l! cannot imagine li1ing a life #ithout #orr!" Ho#e1er, it's a lot closer and a
lot easier than most of us think" What's more, the 0ourne! to#ards acce)tance is something
of an ad1enture" You don't need an! training, !ou don't need an! techni4ues or meditations,
!ou don't e1en need to be ha))! #ith !our life, and !ou certainl! don't need to be cle1er"
2his kno#ledge is for an!one" All !ou reall! need is !our o#n #illingness to be honest #ith
!ourself"
2he kno#ledge contained in this book is a real tease" .t #ill reCect back to !ou #here !our
real genius lies, and !ou ma! ha1e to com)are that genius to #here !ou are no#, #hich
might seriousl! )iss !ou o@" .t #ill sho# !ou ho# to li1e in a state of o)timum health, e1en
though !ou ma! still get ill" .t ma! make !ou laugh or cr! #hen !ou embrace the sections on
!ou, !our emotions and !our relationshi)s" But abo1e all, it #ill sho# !ou ho# to -nd lo1e
dee) #ithin !ourself, as #ell as the courage to stand fast in this lo1e, no matter #hat life
ma! thro# at !ou"
As far as . kno#, there has ne1er been another book like this" .t is the -rst of its kind e1er
#ritten, and as its author . am the -rst to admit that its claim is enormousl! arrogant - that
is, that it can reCect back to !ou e6actl! #ho !ou are" .t is one of the -rst #ritten
mainstream introductions of the Human Design !stem to the #orld" 2he Human Design
!stem is the science of the 2rue elf" .t is sim)l! a ma) of all life forms" Do#, . am not going
to s)end an! time telling the stor! of ho# this s!stem came to be, nor e1en ho# it #orks
;although . thoroughl! recommend it to those #ho like fair! tales and a smattering of
4uantum )h!sics - You can -nd out all about those things b! )erusing some of the man!
#ebsites, transcri)tions or books a1ailable on Human Design=" . am sim)l! going to sho#
!ou #hat Human Design can do for !ou, and lea1e the rest u) to !ou" 8et's ho)e !ou en0o!
looking at !ourself in the mirror9
:! )ersonal concern about sharing this ne# kno#ledge #ith the #orld is that there is no real
method in1ol1ed in acce)tance" .t in1ol1es a com)lete re1ersal in our )s!cholog!" .t in1ol1es
a certain )la!fulness and lightness of s)irit to laugh at our o#n indi1idual foolishness" :!
concern is that it is too eas!, and that the a1erage human mind does not trust easiness" o, .
ha1e included certain e6)erimental strategies and codes for each indi1idual to )la! #ith in
their li1es" :! ad1ice is> take it eas!, )la! #ith this kno#ledge" .t's not serious, but it is
)rofound" Acce)tance on its o#n cannot in an! #a! be gras)ed at" .t often comes out of the
realisation that !ou ma! ha1e been #asting a lot of !our time and energ! on tr!ing to -6
something that isn't broken in the -rst )lace"
Finall!, before #e begin our ad1enture, . #ould like to in1ite !ou to ful-l a small 4uest" You
#ill need !our o#n )ersonal Human Design ?hart" 2his #ill be !our ma) during the course of
!our 0ourne! through the la!ers of this book" You can obtain this chart for free b! 1isiting HD
Resource ?entre, and going to the Human Design Resource ?entre, #here !ou #ill -nd a free
online chart ser1ice"

B! no#, !ou should ha1e in front of !ou one of these charts, or a similar 1ersion" 2he
Bod!gra)h is the name gi1en to the central gra)hic on !our )ersonal Human Design chart" .t
re)resents You" .t contains a lab!rinth of kno#ledge about !ou" .n the language of 2he
Human Design !stem, #e refer to it as '!our Design'
A1er!thing has a Design" ?onsider !our bod! for a moment" Your bod! is a com)le6 multi-
cellular life form" .t is an entire culture of indi1idual cells, each #ith a uni4ue and di@erent
task" 8et's take the e6am)le of the li1er" .n order for the cells in !our li1er to beha1e as li1er
cells, the! each ha1e to be )rogrammed beforehand" A1er! cell has its uni4ue )rogramming
that tells it #here to go, #hat to do and ho# to beha1e" .f one of !our li1er cells #ere
suddenl! to start beha1ing as a heart cell, !ou #ould )robabl! die" You see, not onl! does
each )art of the #hole ha1e its o#n indi1idual Design, but also all the )arts are held
together b! an o1erall Design" .n other #ords, !our li1er has its o#n Design, but on a larger
scale, it is sim)l! a )art of the Design of !our #hole bod!"
2he bod! is a #onderful microcosmic en1ironment that reCects ho# the #ider uni1erse
#orks" Your bod!gra)h sho#s !our o#n uni4ue Design #ithin the bod! of humanit!" .t sho#s
!our )lace #ithin the #hole" Do !ou #ant to kno# #here !ou are su))osed to -t into
societ!7 Do !ou #ant to kno# #hom, if an!one, !ou are su))osed to marr!7 Do !ou #ant to
kno# #hat !our true )ur)ose is7 2he ans#ers are all #ithin the o1erall Design of !our bod!"
.f !ou are able to follo# the la#s of !our o#n Design, then !ou #ill -nd the )laces and
)eo)le #ith #hom !ou naturall! belong"
:ost )eo)le in the #orld #ould consider it a lu6ur! to li1e a life #here !ou can be !ourself,
doing #hat !ou lo1e" :ost )eo)le belie1e that the! can onl! -nd that kind of ha))iness
#hen the! ha1e made enough mone!" .f !ou added u) all the time !ou s)end #orr!ing about
mone!, !ou #ould )robabl! be dee)l! shocked" And !et, if #e return for a moment to the
meta)hor of the bod! and its indi1idual cells, #e can see that all the cells li1e #ithin organic
hierarchical structures that naturall! su))ort each other" A1en the most inde)endent cellular
organisms are interde)endent on the #hole in order to Courish" .t is the same #ith us
humans" Bur -nancial needs de)end on onl! t#o things - that #e do #hat #e are designed
for ;#hich also ha))ens to be #hat #e lo1e= and that #e ha1e the correct allies and
relationshi)s in life"
2he ans#ers again, are contained #ithin !our bod!gra)h" Your bod!gra)h is the ma), and
!our life is the territor!" 2he bod!gra)h onl! gi1es !ou the la#s that need to be follo#ed in
order for !ou to li1e a )erfect life" .f !ou cannot follo# the la#s of !our o#n Design, !ou can
ne1er li1e a ful-lled life" A1en if !ou do not li1e according to !our Design, !ou can still be
successful in the outside #orld, !ou can e1en be a Bill Eates, but the t#o things that #ill
al#a!s be denied !ou are the right relationshi)s and the ending of !our an6iet!" .n other
#ords, mone! alone reall! ne1er can bu! !ou ha))iness
As !ou begin to e6)lore the Bod!gra)h, !ou #ill -nd that it is made u) of la!ers u)on la!ers
of numbers and #ords" At -rst glance, it ma! all seem rather cold to the thri1ing human
heart" A1en the t#o #ords 'Human' and 'Design' used together ma! gi1e one a feeling of
humans being reduced to robots" We human beings are each utterl! uni4ue, and this means
that there is a dee) )art #ithin each of us that hates to be )ut into an! kind of
com)artment" We don't like to be dehumanised b! s!stems and reduced to numbers"
.ronicall!, that is e6actl! #hat the recent breakthroughs in the science of genetics are doing
- the! are sho#ing that all human beings can be reduced to se4uences of numbers and
understood through the codes hidden #ithin our DDA" Bf course, #e are not entirel! the
)roduct of our genes, but are also moulded b! our en1ironment, as #e shall see"
As !ou tra1el more dee)l! into this kno#ledge of Human Design, !ou #ill see ho# human
beings can be reduced to t!)es, categories and genetic )ro-les that a))ear to go1ern our
nature" For man! )eo)le, this can be 4uite frightening, as it a))ears to call into 4uestion the
)ossibilit! of Free Will" .n fact, the more dee)l! !ou look into the human genetic matri6, the
more it a))ears that #e are sim)l! la!ers and la!ers of com)uter )rogramming, all #ith its
source in the human brain" .n other #ords, the #a! #e think determines e1er!thing - ho# #e
act, ho# #e make decisions, ho# #e handle our emotions, e1er!thing"
Human Design is )rimaril! a mental s!stem" .t acts u)on the neuro-circuitr! #ithin our
brains, and this in turn inCuences and a@ects our beha1iour )atterns" You can use Human
Design to de)rogram !our negati1e beha1iour )atterns, and at the same time, !ou can use it
to re)rogram !our brain #ith the beha1iour )atterns that naturall! belong to !ou" .n the
language of com)uter technolog!, Human Design is like an anti-1irus soft#are that graduall!
deletes an! conditioning #ithin !our brain that is not a )art of !our original )rogram"
.f all of this language about )rogrammes, numbers and s!stems is u)setting !ou, !ou need
not fret9 Human Design is not a soul-less technolog! that sees all human beings as
machines" 2here are essentiall! t#o as)ects to human beings, as re)resented b! 2he Human
Design s!stem" 2here is our Design, that is our genetic sub-)rogramming inherited through
our DDA" But there is also something else" 2here is also 'something' that li1es inside each of
us, #hich cannot be 4uali-ed b! an! s!stem or 1eri-ed scienti-call!" 2his is #hat #e kno#
as the 'soul'" tatisticall!, most human beings belie1e in an afterlife, or some kind of Eod"
De)ending on the )o#er of the negati1e conditioning #e recei1e during our childhood,
schooling and culture, this soul is either dee)l! re)ressed, or is left some room to breathe"
2here is one eas! #a! to tell ho# free a )erson's soul is #ithin their Design - through their
attitude" Bur attitude to life betra!s ho# dee)l! our cultural conditioning tra)s us" 2he
attitude of the soul is al#a!s )ositi1e" .t shines out in our li1es and our deeds" .t is
unmistakeable because it transcends all cultural barriers"
Finall!, the cherr! on the cake - no natural, free human being #ants to li1e their life
according an! manmade s!stem" We humans are beautiful, natural, organic creatures" .f #e
are being oursel1es, #e ha1e no need of an! s!stem or crutch" We #ill sim)l! trust in our
o#n free nature" Well, Human Design has another rather neat built-in sub-)rogram - #hen
#e begin to be oursel1es again, it deletes itself9 .n other #ords, once !ou ha1e done it, !ou
can forget all about it9
THE BODYGRAPH - A aster Pro!ra""in! Too#
o ho# does it #ork7 Well, in order not to bore !ou, . shall tr! and kee) this ne6t )art as
short and s#eet as )ossible"
.f !ou take another look at !our Human Design ?hart, . #ould like to dra# !our attention to
those little numbers" 2hose little numbers in !our Bod!gra)h are full of magic" 2here are 5/
of them, and the! are kno#n as the 5/ Eates" Aach of the 5/ Eates has a direct relationshi)
to our DDA, #hich also contains 5/ 'codons'" A codon is basicall! a set of codes for chemical
se4uences #ithin our DDA" 2o )ut it 1er! sim)l!, these 5/ Eates are like archet!)al sound
b!tes that can be used to directl! )rogram our brain in the #a! nature intended" 2he! are in
fact, the original gene ke!s"
2HA 5/ EA2A ADD 2HA.R AFA?2
($"a!ine a BodyGraph here %)
You #ill see from looking at !our bod!gra)h that certain Eates are s#itched on or 'de-ned'
;the! are coloured in=, #hilst others a))ear to be dormant or 'unde-ned' ;the! remain
uncoloured=" 2hese alternations of colour throughout !our bod!gra)h broadl! re)resent !our
genetic im)rinting" Where1er !ou see a Eate coloured in Red, it re)resents an unconscious
)attern inherited from !our )arents and grand)arents, and #here1er !ou see a Eate
coloured in Black, it re)resents a conscious )attern through #hich !our soul seeks to e6)ress
itself"
2he trick #ith Human Design is to get these t#o sides of our nature - both the oul ;Black=
and our Design ;Red= to #ork in harmon!"
FRBERA::.DE 2HRB(EH 8.EH2
2here are three #a!s in #hich Human Design de)rograms and then re)rograms our brains"
2he -rst is through 8ight" When . sa! through light, . mean through the images that #e take
in through our e!es" Human Design is a 1isual tool" As !ou tra1el #ith me dee)er and dee)er
into the bod!gra)h and its makeu), !ou are actuall! im)rinting !our brain #ith this
archet!)al matri6" 8et me gi1e !ou a sneak )re1ie# of #hat . mean b! #a! of e6am)le>
(Shows an E"otiona##y de&ned type BG here)
.f !ou look at the triangular sha)ed ?entre on the right of !our bod!gra)h, it #ill either be
coloured in bro#n, or it #ill remain uncoloured ;#hite=" 2his centre re)resents !our entire
emotional life" .f it is bro#n, !ou are a transmitter of emotions ;this is kno#n as 'emotionall!
de-ned'=, and if it is #hite, !ou are a recei1er of emotions ;this is kno#n as 'emotionall!
unde-ned'=" 2he im)lications of a statement such as this u)on the #a! !our brain handles
emotional states #ill 1er! likel! change !our life" When #e come to the cha)ter on emotions,
#e #ill naturall! co1er this sub0ect 1er! thoroughl!, but for no#, let it be an illustration of
ho# )o#erful the gra)hic image of !our bod!gra)h trul! is" Again, if that little centre is
bro#n, !ou are a transmitter of emotions, and if it is #hite, !ou are a recei1er of emotions"
2his single, sim)le truth is alread! being assimilated b! the neurocircuitr! in !our brain"
FRBERA::.DE 2HRB(EH B(DD
2he second #a! in #hich Human Design a@ects our brain is through sound" All sound can be
reduced to 1ibration and fre4uenc!" When . talk about sound in this conte6t . am talking
about language" Bur brains are )rogrammed through language" What most human beings
are not a#are of is that our brains are e@ecti1el! )rogrammed b! our inner 1ocabular!" All
human beings ha1e an inner 1ocabular! that is built u) as #e learn language as children"
Bur cultural conditioning, our )arents, )eers and schools all contribute to this inner al)habet
that dictates the #a! in #hich #e think" As #e ha1e seen, the #a! in #hich #e think go1erns
the #a! #e act, react, interact, breathe, digest and 0ust about e1er! other as)ect of !our life
that !ou can think of" For most of us, the neural )ath#a!s of this inner 1ocabular! are
alread! laid do#n b! the age of se1en !ears old, regardless of ho# #ell #e s)eak" .n other
#ords, our conditioning is not e1en in our o#n hands, but )rimaril! in the hands of our
)arents, teachers and )eers"
Aach of the 5/ Eates in the bod!gra)h has se1eral la!ers of ke!notes related to it" 2hese
#ords are !our ne# neuro-linguistic al)habet" .n other #ords, as !ou begin to associate
these #ords #ith di@erent as)ects of !our life, !our life #ill a))ear to change" .n fact, !our
life isn't changing" Your attitude to#ards life is changing" For each of these 5/ gates there is

2his )attern #ill follo# !ou into !our relationshi)s o1er and o1er again until !ou manage to

and !our relationshi)s #ill ne1er be the same again9
FRBERA::.DE 2HRB(EH .D2AD2
2he -nal #a! in #hich Human Design #orks its healing magic u)on our li1es is through
.ntent" .ntent is the onl! as)ect of Human Design that is not in the hands of the s!stem

im)ortant thing of all" A1en though it ma! be misguided, it is the fuel that is needed in order

. #ould like to )resent the idea of these -1e 2!)es to !ou in a slightl! ne# #a!" . don't #ant
!ou to think of !ourself as a '2!)e' at all" 2his kind of language is actuall! 4uite di1isi1e, and

#hat are these 8ife ?odes and #hat do the! mean7

The Proacti-e .ife )ode
The )ode and its )onditionin!
.f !ou ha1e a Froacti1e 8ife ?ode, then !ou are a minorit! among humanit!" Bnl! &L of
human beings fall into this categor!" 2o be )roacti1e means to initiate something of !our
o#n accord or #ill" .nterestingl! enough, human conditioning tells us that this is something
an!one can do at an! time" .t is something #e all take for granted" Bur conditioning tells us
all that if #e #ant something in life, #e ha1e to go and get it - #e ha1e to make it ha))en"
2here is a subtle fear underl!ing this conditioning - it is a fear that sa!s> 'if . don't make the
e@ort, nothing #ill ha))en'" 2his fear is the fear of missing our o))ortunit! or our destin! in
life" .ronicall!, being )roacti1e is something that onl! #orks for a minorit!"
For those #ith this Froacti1e 8ife ?ode, !ou do indeed ha1e to make it ha))en" 2his is the
most natural #a! for !ou" .t is the easiest #a!, since it is encoded into the 1er! substance of
!our genetics" .n the Human Design !stem, the name gi1en to this 2!)e is the :anifestor" .t
is a strong #ord, and one #ith man! im)lications" As a :anifestor, !ou are a dee)l! creati1e
human being, and !ou #ill ha1e to car1e !our o#n )ath through life" You a))ear to be the
most inde)endent of the -1e 2!)es, but that can also be !our undoing, as !ou #ill see" You
#ill ha1e to -nd !our dee)est )assion and ha1e the courage to li1e it, des)ite #hat the
conditioning of the rest of humanit! sa!s" Froacti1e means that it's u) to !ou" You need to
#ork out #hat !our dreams are, and then follo# them"
Attit,de
For each of the 8ife ?odes there is a #arning, and this #arning can be understood from the
Attitude" 2he Attitude that goes #ith !our 8ife ?ode is ?ourtes!" ?ourtes! means that des)ite
being so inde)endent, !ou need to constantl! bear in mind the feelings of others" o man!
:anifestors sim)l! )lough through life follo#ing their )roacti1e )ath, encountering
enormous resistance and )ro1oking anger and resentment from others" 2his is not ho# !our
life is intended to be" A1er! :anifestor child needs to ha1e courtes! engrained #ithin him or
her from birth" ?ourtes! means that before !ou do an!thing in life, !ou need to consider
e1er!one it #ill a@ect" .f !ou are alread! an adult, all the conditioning !ou ha1e recei1ed #ill
)robabl! chafe against this attitude" .nde)endent as !ou kno# !ou are, it ma! #ell enrage
!ou to ha1e to )ause on !our )ath and listen to others9
.f !ou ha1e the Froacti1e 8ife ?ode, there is a 1er! sim)le test !ou can do that sho#s !ou
ho# #ell !ou are aligned #ith !our Attitude" 2he test is directl! relati1e to ho# others react
and res)ond to !ou" .f !ou ha1e )ro1oked anger or irritation from someone, that is
resistance" Resistance from others reminds !ou that !ou ma! ha1e o1erlooked someone in
some #a! - !ou ha1e )robabl! rushed headlong into something #ithout communicating !our
intentions clearl! to those #ho might be a@ected" Anno!ing though it ma! be to !ou, !ou
need to understand that courtes! trul! is !our best all! in life" You need to ha1e the courtes!
to constantl! inform )eo)le of !our intentions" .t is an attitude that #ill trul! make !our life
so much easier in the long run, e1en though !ou ma! -nd it hard in the beginning"
Ro#e within the 3ho#e
. #ould like to use the s!mbol of the human bod! as a meta)hor to more easil! understand
ho# the Froacti1e 8ife ?ode #orks and ho# it is designed to #ork #ith the other 8ife ?odes"
B! seeing the true )ur)ose of !our 2!)e at a holistic genetic le1el, !ou #ill see both #hat
!ou are here for and #hat !ou are not here for"
2he Froacti1e 8ife ?ode - the so-called :anifestors, are rather like those organisms #ithin
the human bod! that carr! their o#n sub-)rogramming" 2his sub-)rogramming makes them
a))ear more inde)endent" An e6am)le might be an organism in the human bod! such as a
macro)hage, #hose )ur)ose is to seek out diseased cells or 1iruses in the bloodstream and
eliminate them" Ho# and #hen the macro)hage does this is totall! u) to it - it has an
inde)endent task to )erform #ithin the bod!, and this is #hat it does" Ho#e1er, #hen seen
#ithin the )ers)ecti1e of the #hole bod!, these macro)hages are actuall! interde)endent on
all the other cells #ithin the bod!"
What . am tr!ing to demonstrate is that the 8ife ?odes are reall! onl! o)erating codes or
strategies for di@erent as)ects of a single consciousness - and b! follo#ing these codes and
their attitudes, #e #ill encounter 1irtuall! no resistance in life"
2hus, if !ou are a :anifestor 2!)e, !our natural tendenc! is to see !ourself as -ercel!
inde)endent from all other human beings, #hich is #here !ou -rst get into trouble" You are
sim)l! an as)ect of a single o1er-riding consciousness that onl! a))ears to be more
inde)endent than other human beings" Your great goal in life is thus to follo# !our o#n
#onderful uni4ue )ath, controlled b! no one or nothing outside !our o#n heart - and at the
same time, to realise that !our ?ode does not se)arate !ou from others, rather it brings !ou
closer to them"
.n conclusion then, if !ou ha1e a Froacti1e 8ife ?ode, !ou onl! need remember one thing -
e1er! time !ou tr! and assert !our inde)endence, !ou increase the illusion of !our o#n
se)arateness" When !ou do this, the rest of the global bod! #ill remind !ou that !ou ha1e
ste))ed o@ track b! resisting !ou and #ithdra#ing its su))ort, lea1ing !ou to do e1er!thing
on !our o#n, #hich !ou are not e4ui))ed for" 2his is ho# !ou create negati1e chemistr! and
)ro1oke )eo)le - b! e6cluding !ourself and them" Ho#e1er, if !ou ha1e the courage to follo#
the dreams of !our heart ADD include others, !ou #ill -nd enormous su))ort from e1er!one
!ou meet, and the )ositi1e side of !our chemistr! #ill Co#er, lea1ing !ou to em)o#er
e1er!one !ou meet"

An after#ord concerning :anifestors and the )o#er of :anifesting
.t is 1er! im)ortant at this stage of our understanding to be absolutel! clear about this #ord
'manifest'" ince one of the four Human Design 2!)es is called 'the :anifestor', this has all
sorts of im)lications, #hich can be confusing" Iust because !ou are not a :anifestor 2!)e
does not mean that !ou cannot manifest an!thing in life9 2his is all sim)l! terminolog!"
2here are sim)l! di@erent modes b! #hich manifestation comes into one's life" 2he
:anifestor 2!)e sim)l! uses the Froacti1e 8ife ?ode and manifestation occurs" 2he
Eenerator 2!)e follo#s the Res)onsi1e 8ife ?ode and manifestation occurs" .t is the same
#ith each of the 2!)es, #hich is #h! the most im)ortant thing to understand is !our 8ife
?ode"

.f !ou ha1e a Res)onsi1e 8ife ?ode, !ou are one of the t#o 1ariations of the Eenerator 2!)e -
the Eenerator or the :anifesting Eenerator" B1er '+L of humanit! falls into this categor!"
Res)onsi1e, as the #ord suggests, in1ol1es res)onding to stimuli )resented b! life" 2his is
1er! di@erent from the Froacti1e 8ife ?ode - in fact, it is e6actl! the o))osite" 2o be )roacti1e
means to initiate action, #hereas to be res)onsi1e means to #ait and see #hat comes, and
then res)ond, either #ith or #ithout action"
2o be res)onsi1e rather than )roacti1e re4uires a huge 4uantum lea) for most modern
)eo)le" All our conditioning, )articularl! here in the West, tells us to be )roacti1e - to take
our li1es into our o#n hands" .t is the credo that #e all gro# u) #ith - that !ou make !our life
#hat it is" 2hat is a 1er! )o#erful conditioning indeed, as !ou ma! soon disco1er9 .f !ou
ha1e a Res)onsi1e 8ife ?ode, !our natural #a! through life is to #ait and see #hat ha))ens -
to #ait and see #hat o))ortunities come !our #a!" .f !ou ha1e the courage to take this more
rela6ed attitude to#ards life, !ou #ill immediatel! see results"
.f !ou ha1e s)ent man! !ears beha1ing in a certain #a! and that #a! is not natural for !ou,
!ou #ill #eaken !our )h!sical bod! and health o1er time" .f !ou then begin to re1erse this
)rocess, !our health and general #ell being #ill graduall! im)ro1e" 2his is #hat ha))ens
#hen a Eenerator or :anifesting Eenerator begins to rela6 and let life come to them,
instead of al#a!s )ushing to get #hat the! #ant" Ha1ing a Res)onsi1e 8ife ?ode does not
make !ou totall! )assi1e - !ou can act out of res)onse in a 1er! direct and )o#erful #a! -
but it has to be out of res)onse"
2he litmus test for !ou if !ou ha1e a Res)onsi1e 8ife ?ode centres on the amount of
resistance !ou get back from life" Ho# eas! or hard is it to manifest !our dreams7 .f it is
di3cult and !ou -nd !ourself frustrated and su@ering, then that is a sure sign !ou are being
)roacti1e and )ushing against the Co#" .f !ou can rela6 and #ait a #hile, !ou #ill see that
the uni1erse has an uncann! knack of deli1ering the right things to !our door at 0ust the
right time" 2he trick is to sto) !ourself )ursuing !our dreams, and to sim)l! allo# them to
unfold in their o#n time"

bring together some of the 4ualities of both the :anifestor and the Eenerator, but !our 8ife
?ode connects !ou more strongl! to the Eenerator 2!)e" 2hus !our dilemma is ho# to hold
!ourself back in life9 Do#, . am not sa!ing that !ou should hold !ourself back at all" What .
am sa!ing is that there are times #hen !ou need to hold !ourself back, and if !ou don't, !ou
#ill learn something 1aluable about timing" Your negati1e chemistr! is Bbstinac! - #hich
means that if !ou cannot be )atient, !ou #ill end u) )ushing )eo)le a#a! from !ou" .t is

2he other side of the :anifesting Eenerator is an almost un4uenchable enthusiasm for life"
Bf all the 2!)es, !ou are the one #ith the least limitations" You combine the uni4ue )o#er to

moment #hen all !our energ! can -nall! be released"
You ha1e a great gift in !our d!namic energ! - it can gal1anise an!one and an!thing if it is
used )ro)erl! - #hich means - don't be )roacti1e if !ou can )ossibl! hel) it9 You are the kind
of )erson that can end u) learning things the hard #a!, but it doesn't ha1e to be like that for
!ou" Aas! is easier, and all it re4uires of !ou is to hold !our )o#er back until the right

reall! are like someone bashing their o#n head re)eatedl! against a brick #all9 Whene1er

The Tortoise and the Hare
Both Eenerators and :anifesting Eenerators ha1e di@erent rh!thms and di@erent attitudes -
2he :anifesting Eenerator is rather like the hare in the old fable - the! ha1e this enormous
d!namic energ! that doesn't like to #ait around" 2he! tend to rush into things head-rst and
then miss out of 1ital details, #hich means that the! then ha1e to retrace their ste)s and -ll
in the missing ga)s in their kno#ledge" .n this #a!, :anifesting Eenerators tend to make
huge 4uantum lea)s in life but then backtrack and follo# the same ste)s again" .f !ou are a
:anifesting Eenerator therefore, don't beat !ourself u) because !our life tends to follo# this
)attern - so #hat if !ou miss a fe# ste)s along the #a!79 You can al#a!s come back and
catch u)"
2he Eenerators ho#e1er, ha1e a far steadier rh!thm of res)onse that misses nothing out
and tra1els steadil! and Cuidl! through life, rather like the tortoise in the fable" 2he
Eenerator #ho is follo#ing their 8ife ?ode tends to mo1e through )lateau stages in their life
- in other #ords, a Eenerator learning the )iano ma! feel like the! are stuck at a certain
le1el of )ro-cienc! for a certain time until the! suddenl! breakthrough to another ne#
dimension of master!, and then the! remain at that le1el or )lateau for another length of
time, until the! ha1e their ne6t breakthrough" 2his is #here their gift of Resilience )a!s o@
o1er the long term"
Whether !ou are a Eenerator or :anifesting Eenerator, there is no ad1antage" 2he
di@erence is onl! in rh!thm, not in result" Eenerators are no slo#er than :anifesting
Eenerators, and one t!)e has no ad1antage o1er the other" .n this fable, the tortoise and the
hare arri1e at e6actl! the same time, so long as the! ha1e both follo#ed their 8ife ?ode9
Ro#e within the 3ho#e
?ontinuing our meta)hor of the human bod!, Eenerators and :anifesting Eenerators are
some#hat akin to blood cells" 2he t#o t!)es of Eenerator com)rise o1er '+L of humanit!

.t is 1irtuall! im)ossible for an! of the other three 2!)es to attain an! signi-cant

:anifesting Eenerators" Because of the )o#er of )lanetar! conditioning, most of humanit!

)lanet has an unhealth! bloodstream #ith blockages and clots that endanger the life of the
#hole"
2he ans#er to this conundrum is so sim)le - Eenerators and :anifesting Eenerators need to

THE $1TERA)T$2E .$+E )ODE
The )ode and its )onditionin!
.f !ou ha1e An .nteracti1e 8ife ?ode, then !ou fall into the categor! kno# as the Fro0ector
2!)e" :anifestors initiate, Eenerators create and Fro0ectors guide" Euidance is a s)eci-c gift
of all Fro0ectors since it is rooted in !our inherent skills at interacting #ith others" 2his is the
great secret for all Fro0ectors - -nding the right )eo)le in life" When !ou -nd the right
)eo)le, !our interacti1e gifts reall! make !ou stand out" Finding the right )eo)le is rooted in
single #ord - the most im)ortant #ord in !our life - recognition" Bnl! if !ou are recognised b!
another does !our true )o#er emerge, other#ise !our gifts and skills #ill al#a!s remain
hidden from the #orld" Within the -1e 2!)es, there are more di@erent 1ariations of Fro0ectors
than an! of the others, #hich sa!s something im)ortant - namel!, that there are man!
di@erent t!)es of guidance, and that each Fro0ector is #aiting for a 1er! s)eci-c kind of
recognition, tailored e6actl! for them"
Within the Human Design !stem, !ou #ill often hear of Fro0ectors that the! ha1e a strateg!
to '#ait for an in1itation'" .n a certain sense this is e6actl! correct, but it can also be
misleading" Fro0ectors are not in an! #a! designed to initiate acti1it! in a )roacti1e #a!
unless the! are #ithin the aura of someone #ho directl! recognises them" Deither can
Fro0ectors release their creati1e )otential #ithout resistance if there is not someone
some#here close to them #ho allo#s them this )rofound e6)erience of recognition" For the
Fro0ector, recognition is an in1itation, regardless of #hether the in1itation is formal or
#ordless" .t is 1er! rare for Fro0ectors to #ork alone" You most fre4uentl! see successful
Fro0ectors o)erating out of some )rofound relationshi) #ith another )erson"
2he most im)ortant thing for a Fro0ector to understand is #hat recognition trul! means for
them" We are not merel! talking about someone recognising !our skills, or a certain as)ect
of !our character" For a Fro0ector, recognition can onl! be total - it is as though the other
)erson understands and res)ects them at the dee)est le1el #ithout ha1ing to go through
an! kind of )rocess" 2hese kinds of recognitions that are instant and be!ond mental
com)rehension are #hat the Fro0ector is #aiting for in life" Bne Fro0ector has described this
recognition as though 'the )resence of this )erson in m! life triggered the sun to come out
#ithin m! bod!'" .t is a relati1el! rare and )rofound e6)erience for a Fro0ector to encounter
true recognition"
Attit,de
.f !ou ha1e an .nteracti1e 8ife ?ode, then there is a sim)le truth for !ou in life" You ha1e to
ha1e Faith9 2his faith is absolutel! essential for !ou - it is the faith in !ourself, and the faith
that !our life #ill unfold #ithout !ou ha1ing to struggle" (ltimatel!, !our faith in !ourself #ill
allo# !ou to #ait for the right )eo)le to a))ear in life instead of making com)romises #ith
those #ho neither understand nor recognise !ou"
You can see from the table at the beginning of this cha)ter that #hen !ou tr! to )ro1e
!ourself to someone #ho doesn't recognise !ou, !ou create an instant chemistr! #ith that
)erson that is felt b! the other as interference" Whene1er !ou lose faith in !ourself and
attem)t to #in someone's recognition, !ou #ill immediatel! make the other )erson
uncomfortable, e1en though the! ma! not sa! it" What is more, !ou #ill 1er! 4uickl! become
drained"
A6haustion is a running theme for Fro0ectors #ho are not clear #ith their interacti1e life
code" You onl! become e6hausted in the #rong com)an!" You reall! ha1e to see that !our life
code makes things so incredibl! sim)le if !ou trust in it" Without !our true allies, !ou cannot
make !ourself heard b! an!one" With e1en one all! b! !our side to recognise !ou, the same
)eo)le #ho couldn't hear !ou before, #ill not onl! hear !ou, but also cra1e !our guidance
and )resence" When !ou ha1e faith and #ait for these instant recognitions, !ou create a
chemistr! #ithin an! grou) or relationshi) that is trul! integrati1e" .n other #ords, the grou)
immediatel! begins to function harmoniousl! sim)l! because of !our )resence" An!
relationshi) #here !ou are trul! recognised is a relationshi) that is be!ond #ords, because it
is in essence rooted in lo1e and destin!" Your true destin! can onl! be unlocked b! these
kinds of relationshi)s"
Finall!, if !ou are a Fro0ector, then this kno#ledge of Human Design ma! ha1e a 1er!
)rofound im)act on !ou, and in )articular the cha)ter concerning the ,* channels of ')aths',
found under the letter 'F'" Aach of the channels !ou ha1e de-ned or coloured in !our design
chart has a s)eci-c theme and meaning, and once !ou kno# these themes, !ou kno#
e6actl! #hat it is !ou are here to be recognised for"
)o"pro"ise - The Death of the Pro9ector
As a Fro0ector, !ou need to learn to see #hen !ou are making com)romises in !our life" We
are not talking about ordinar! com)romises that all humans ha1e to make in life" 2hese are
com)romises in ke! relationshi)s in !our life - !our boss, !our husband or #ife - and the
com)romise is made #hen !ou -rst meet them" 2here ma! be )eo)le #ho !ou meet and
#hose com)an! !ou en0o!, but #ho do not res)ect !ou at a dee) le1el" .f there are )eo)le in
ke! )ositions in !our life like this, then these relationshi)s can be incredibl! draining for !ou"
2he onl! reason a Fro0ector com)romises is out of fear that the! #on't get a better
o))ortunit!" Ha1ing faith in !ourself means that !ou ha1e to ha1e the courage to turn do#n
o))ortunities that are not $++ L )erfect" For !ou, onl! $++L recognition #ill do" .f !ou do
not #ait for it, !ou #ill al#a!s ha1e to -ght to get recognition, and !ou #ill ne1er trul! get it"
A1en if !our life turns out to be a great success on the outside, on the inside !ou #ill al#a!s
feel the lack of true recognition" 2here is nothing more debilitating for a Fro0ector than
ha1ing )eo)le )a! li) ser1ice to them #ithout ha1ing the authentic feeling behind it"
Bnce recognition is )resent, there are no rules for a Fro0ector" 2he recognition is an in1itation
to be !ourself and release !our magic into the #orld" Your greatest gifts #ill still be to reach
out in some #a! and touch others, #hether directl! or through the medium of !our #ork" .n
grou) situations, !ou reall! come into !our true role as a facilitator rather than a leader"
A1en though !ou ma! be labelled as a leader, in fact !our gift is make e1er!thing sim)ler
and easier #ithin the grou) ;#hich is #hat the #ord 'facilitate' means=, and !ou do this b!
integrating and balancing the collecti1e energ! and roles of e1er!one #ithin the grou)" 2his
ma! or ma! not be something !ou do consciousl!, but nonetheless, it is #hat ha))ens
#hene1er !ou are )resent"
Ro#e within the 3ho#e
Within the genetic hierarch!, the )resence of the Fro0ector is )ure magic" As the Fro0ectors
on our )lanet begin to a#aken and li1e correctl! according to their life code, then the #hole
notion of hierarch! #ill disa))ear" .n its )lace #hat #ill emerge is a s!narch!" A s!narch! is
circular in nature - leaders are not )laced abo1e an!one else, but sim)l! recognised for their
gift, #hich is )rimaril! the gift of listening" 2he Fro0ectors are the true leaders of the future,
since the! are not in the least bit interested in leadershi)" 2he! are onl! interested in being
surrounded b! the right )eo)le so that the! can get on #ith #hate1er it is that the! are here
to do"
At a holistic le1el, #hat the Fro0ector does is balance the energ! #ithin the #hole s!stem"
2hrough the unde-ned acral centre, each Fro0ector acts as a conduit of energ! - shifting it
from )laces #here there is too much, to )laces #here there is too little, thus creating a
s!narchic structure rather than a hierarchical structure" !narch! does not mean that
e1er!one is e4ual - it means that e1er!one ful-ls the role that belongs to them" .t is not
)ossible to be ful-lled as an indi1idual unless one li1es the correct role"2his means that
some )eo)le #ill need more resources to ful-l their role, and others #ill need less" .f !ou
ha1e more resources ;mone!= than !ou need, !ou cannot be ful-lled, and if !ou do not ha1e
enough, !ou cannot be ful-lled either" At a )lanetar! le1el, Fro0ectors are here to bring
balance to the sharing of resources and integration to the collecti1e"
2here is one big ke! to understanding Fro0ectors, and it can onl! be found b! looking at the
bigger )icture" We kno# that statisticall!, Fro0ectors make u) *$L of the )o)ulation" 2hat
means that for e1er! -1e )eo)le, more or less, there is one Fro0ector" 2hose are interesting
numbers, es)eciall! #hen the! are considered #ithin the conte6t of ho# Eene Fools o)erate"
Fro0ectors actuall! hold the secret to the choreogra)h! of all human gene )ools" Bne da!,
#hen these as)ects of Human Design are e6)lored in more de)th, #e #ill be able to see ho#
grou)ings of indi1idual designs come together in the same #a! as cells bind together to
create the organs #ithin our bodies"
.magine then, that humanit! is a bod! like !our o#n bod!" 2here are onl! N t!)es of cells,
each #ith their o#n sub-)rogramming" 2he bulk of the cellular life of the bod! ;%$L= is made
u) of the t#o most common kinds of cell - Eenerator cells and Fro0ector cells" 2hese * t!)es
are designed to interlock #ith each other" 2he Eenerator cells collecti1el! create the life of
the organism" 2he! are )ure energ! cells bu<<ing da! and night, maintaining and building
the #hole" Fro0ector cells are uni4ue"
2he! ha1e no )ro)ulsion of their o#n, so the! drift around on the endless energ! currents
created b! the Eenerator cells" You might imagine ho# eas! it #ould be for a Fro0ector cell
to feel that it had no )ur)ose #ithin the bod!" Ho#e1er, each Fro0ector cell actuall! has a
1er! s)eci-c )ur)ose ;some ha1e more than one=, but that )ur)ose can onl! be realised
#hen certain energ! cells ;Eenerators= dock in #ith the Fro0ector cell to recei1e instructions"
ince the Fro0ector has no )ro)ulsion, it is )o#erless to initiate this )rocess, but has to allo#
the Eenerator cells to recognise them and dock in #ithin their o#n timing" 2his recognition
)rocess takes )lace through a coded lock and ke! )rogramme built into these * t!)es at
birth" .n other #ords, e1er! Fro0ector holds multi)le ke!s that -t an enormous arra! of locks"
When a ke! does not -t a lock it is 1er! ob1ious9
You can see then that if !ou are a Fro0ector, !ou are geneticall! coded to ha1e others
;mainl! Eenerators= recognise !ou and a))roach !ou" 2his is the foundation of the success
of humanit! as a s)ecies" 2he Fro0ector's role is )i1otal for life to be coherentl! organised"
But there is a great iron! to it all for the Fro0ector - #hich is that there is nothing for them to
do until the! are recognised" A1er! Fro0ector kno#s #hen the ke! -ts" A1er! cell in !our bod!
lights u)" You also kno# #hen it onl! 'sort of' -ts" 2hose are the critical moments in !our life
if !ou are a Fro0ector" .f the -t is not )erfect, !ou ha1e to smile s#eetl! and turn a#a!" 2he
relief of not tr!ing to make ke!s -t #hen the! do not #ant to -t, actuall! releases a huge
)ressure from !our life"

Human Design bod!gra)h M the )leen ?entre" 2his mode of Authorit! is kno#n as )lenic
Authorit!" 2he )leen ?entre re)resents the immune s!stem and is our oldest centre of
a#areness" Back in our mammalian )ast, our ancestors #ere able to sur1i1e onl! because of
their instincts, and this is ho# !ou not onl! sur1i1e in the #orld, but also Courish" .t takes
great courage to trust in onePs intuition because it is something that is entirel! illogical" An
e6am)le might be ha1ing a funn! feeling at the air)ort telling !ou not to board the air)lane,
e1en though !ou ha1e a non-refundable ticket" 2hat is not something that #e often trust"
Ho#e1er, for !ou, !our s)ontaneous instinct is the onl! thing !ou can e1er trust" .f !our
instincts tell !ou not to board the )lane, there must be a 1er! good reason" 2he hos)itals are
full of )eo)le #ho did not trust their -rst instincts9
The )oo#ness of the Sp#een
.f !our Authorit! belongs to this .nstincti1e Erou) then -rst im)ressions are e1er!thing for
!ou" 2he last thing !ou should do is make an! decision #hen !ou are feeling emotional,
#hether !ou feel high, lo#, an6ious or e6cited" )lenic decisions are cool decisions, and
)lenic )eo)le like !ourself, are b! design, 1er! cool" Feo)le can often mistake this coolness
in !ou as coldness, but it is not the case"
You #ill al#a!s do #ell to remember that instinct has nothing at all to do #ith !our mind, as
it is rooted in !our bod! and in !our immune s!stem" .f !ou instantl! take a dislike to a
)articular en1ironment or )erson, that is !our immune s!stem telling !ou that that )erson or
)lace is not health! for !ou in that moment" .t is ne1er )ersonal, but is something that !ou
must immediatel! ha1e the courage to trust" Again and again, !ou #ill see that !ou can rel!

2he Fluid Decision Erou) is centred on a single centre in the Human Design bod!gra)h M the

)o#er and res)onse for both Eenerators and :anifesting Eenerators" .f !our decision-

a reliable decision" What is unusual about !our Authorit! is that it does not come from a
)lace of a#areness #ithin !ou" What this means for !ou is that decision-making is something
that is both automatic and 1er! subtle" Being the centre of the life force itself, the acral

actuall! ca)able of making sounds, and these sounds emerge as guttural grunts and sighs
that occur in res)onse to e1er!da! life" .f for e6am)le, someone asks !ou #hether !ou #ould

that there is a res)onse that takes )lace dee) #ithin !ou at a le1el belo# !our a#areness"
