HUMAN DESIGN
On our October show our guest was Angie Meiklejohn who gave us an overview of Human Design. See the end of this post for details on how to contact Angie for a free 10 minute overview of your Human Design when you mention 'The Bodhi Tree'.
Here’s what Angie had to share with us.
Human Design is a science of differentiation. It is about what distinguishes or differentiates one human from another. And it's very practical for using in decision making. It was a download for a man called Ra Uru Hu. He had a download through a voice he had heard over a period of eight days. What he had downloaded was an incredible system that uses the 64 gates of the i-ching and draws upon the Kabbalah and the chakra system. He discovered that we have moved from a seven-centred being to a nine-centred being, so we’re actually evolving into a different kind of human, homo sapien in transitus.
Ra spent a whole year figuring out what he had downloaded. He thought he'd gone mad. He didn't talk to anyone about what he'd received for a year because he thought he'd be outcast. So he spent a year thinking it out and drawing it out until he could begin to talk to people about it. When he first started talking about it, people thought he was insane. He thought he was insane. But through speaking about it, it really came into form. So he lectured and taught and other people got interested and got involved and started to map it out. It's been around since the 80s and it's only just taking off now.
In this video on YouTube Ra explains his experience.
Human Design contains two readings, when you're born, which is your consciousness, your incarnating consciousness, and the position of all the planets and the earth and the moon, etc. three months before you're born, which is your design, your body and your DNA sequencing. So these measurements, your design, body DNA and you're incarnating consciousness, gives you is a map of how to be this duality, this body and this consciousness and how to navigate being these two things through life, through space and time.
And what we've found is when people practice aligning with their map, they meet less resistance. They end up in the correct place at the correct time to meet the people that they've actually incarnated to connect with and to build things in the world or create or achieve things. So it’s a navigational system very specifically and wonderfully used for decision making.
It's not like Carl Jung's archetypes, or the Myers-Briggs personality testing, it takes the understanding of the human psyche and the human self to a whole other level. There are so many layers to it, because every human being is so incredibly specific, and so different from other human beings.
THERE ARE FOUR TYPES OF HUMAN DESIGN:
GENERATORS make up 70% of the world’s population. Generators have a defined sacral energy, so they are here to be productive. They have this warm, open, enveloping aura. They magnetise people and life towards them, and they are constantly responding to life. We're taught to ‘Go get it’, ‘ You can do anything’, ‘You can be anything you want’ and most of us are thinking that we need to initiate, we need to get the ball rolling, we need to start things. Well, actually 70% of people on the planet are here to simply respond to life, to wait for a sacral response, to wait for the body to let them know whether they have energy for something or not, whether they're drawn to it or not. So when Generators enter into something correctly, when life is coming towards them, they respond to it. If someone says “Do you want to come do this thing with me?” Generators respond yes, I really want to. They engage in it correctly and experience satisfaction in the ir result. But, when they feel frustrated, frustration is a signpost that Generators have entered into something incorrectly. Maybe they've got a ‘no’ response in their body, they feel ‘I don't want to do that’. But then they convince themselves at the level of mind that ‘I really want that person to like me’ or ‘I really want the money that that's offering, so I'm going to force myself to do it, push myself to do it. And they'll experience frustration.
Now, can you imagine if 70% of people on the planet are feeling frustrated? Can you imagine the frequency on this planet? So if Generators were all engaging in doing what they love, with their sacral centres just humming and they were feeling satisfied, can you imagine the frequency on the planet? The expression, love what you do and do what you love is an absolute key phrase for a Generator. Whatever you're drawn to, that's what you're meant to be doing.
MANIFESTING GENERATORS are a subgroup of Generators. They make up about 50% of Generators and what defines a Manifesting Generator is they have motorised energy to the throat for manifestation.
We're actually all energies heading to the throat for manifestation on the physical plane, but once Manifesting Generators have got a sacral response and they've responded to life, they feel drawn to something, they've got energy for it in their body, they can then skip steps, they can build things in the world very quickly. So that is the distinction. That's the difference between a Generator, who is more likely to be plodding along, going through all the steps in a very humming, satisfying way, but a Manifesting Generator can move faster.
PROJECTORS make up about 18% of the population. Projectors guide Generators towards how to use their sacral energy in a way that's satisfying for them, to help Generators align with satisfaction rather than frustration, so we can raise the frequency of satisfaction on the planet. Projectors have a focused and absorbing aura. When they look at someone, or put their attention on someone, they get a sense of who they truly are, so the true energy in their body, and then through that sensitivity into the different layers of that person – but only at their invitation. Projectors are here to experience success, by being recognised and invited into an interaction, to be recognised for who they truly are and invited into that interaction as a guide.
Because a lot of Projectors don't have sacral energy, no motorised energy to the throat, they borrow energy through the interaction with another person. They're best one-on-one and need to be recognised and invited.
Angie is a Projector and because of this sensitivity, as a child, she could look at someone and receive a download of information. She would even feel guilty because she didn't know why she was seeing so much or what to do with it. So Human Design is a system that has come just at the right time so we can support children to be who they truly are rather than homogenising them all with “Just go do it’, “You can be anything” etc. It's just not true. We are all our own authority. Just be who you are.
We've been living in times where the authority is outside of ourselves. But all of us have a personal individual authority. If we can align with our authority process for decision making, we are going to live more correctly as ourselves. Projectors are here to support that process.
A signpost for a Projector that they've entered into a relationship, or anything incorrectly is bitterness, a bitter taste in the mouth. So can you imagine or sense the vibe of 18% of the people on the planet expressing bitterness out into the world.
And it's interesting because a Projector in Human Design is different from a person who is ‘projecting’ their anger or their angst onto somebody else, as a defence mechanism, unconsciously attributing their own emotions and traits or motives onto another person. So that's a very different projector than a Human Design Projector. Although there is some projection which happens with a Projector's aura because they are projecting their aura out all the time they are seen. And they are designed to be seen.
MANIFESTORS make up 8% of the population and Manifestors have a closed and repelling aura. They are initiators, they get the ball rolling. The ‘Just do it’ Nike slogan was most probably thought up by a Manifestor, because that's what they do. They just do it. They've got a motorised energy to the throat, and they just get on and do it.
The strategy for a Manifestor to meet less resistance in the world is to inform. Ra was a Manifestor and grew up in a family of Generators. He explained Manifestors like this:
If the family are all in the sitting room watching TV and the Manifestor child gets up to go to the bathroom and doesn't say anything, the rest of the family may feel a bit prickled and think what's up with him? That’s because as he's stood up and left the room, his aura bumped everybody, prickled everybody. But if he gets up and says “I’m just going to the bathroom” everyone then has a reason for why they have been bumped, they’ve been informed.
However, it's going to feel beneath a Manifestor to inform because they are the kings and the queens of old. Manifestors created all the systems that we live in now and Generators built them. But Manifestors had all the ideas. They are very powerful individuals. They were the landowners, the slave owners, the builders of great big, monumental things. They basically enslaved Generators to build them. So Manifestors are a little bit lost in this day and age because they can't order everyone around or whip everyone into place to get them to do what they want. And that can really be helped by understanding their design and understanding their impact, because they are ‘designed’ to have impact. So when they can align with who they truly are and what’s actually correct for them to bring forth into the world, they meet less resistance when they inform.
Anger is the signpost for a Manifestor when they've engaged in something incorrectly. So all those angry people out there, they've probably got manifesting energy. And peace is the signpost when they have engaged correctly. They feel peaceful and they're just powering along, doing what they want to do.
REFLECTORS make up about 1% of the population. They have a resilient and sampling aura. Their perspective is universal, they can see the bigger picture. It's almost like they're a hawk looking at everything from above. They can see the whole system. They can see who's waking up. They notice what's different. And they can see the health of a community, they're like the barometer of the health of a community.
Their authority is actually the lunar cycle. Most beings on the planet are sun beings and these guys are actually lunar beings. And they're the most conditioned of people. They need to take about 28 days for big decisions. And the reason why is the moons transits is about 28 days, and they notice they're changing during those 28 days. So they run a decision through the moon cycle, lunar cycle, it’s what they use for decision making.
The signpost that they've engaged correctly is surprise and the signpost when they are not acting correctly or have not engaged correctly is disappointment. And it's tangible.
Human Design is encouraging us all to know who we are, know ourselves and to find our own inner authority so we can take responsibility for what we put out there into the world. That's what we humans seem to hide from, isn't it? You know, it's part of our shadow hiding from things that we don’t want to face up to about ourselves. We need to front up to ourselves for the sake of all humanity.
They're even using Human Design in workplaces now when they're forming teams of people, in HR and even in recruitment so it's really taking off on a grand scale. BG5 Institute has been created to bring Human Design into business. Lavina Arches, who Angie is doing her training under has been in instrumental in creating BG5.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to work in an environment where you're forming teams with people that are compatible with each other’s Human Design. Imagine how much more productive and happier we and our workplace would be.
There are so many people on the planet and we're all bumping into each other left, right and centre, so it's really good to know that there's something out there that helps us to understand ourselves deeper. And when we do understand ourselves deeper, whether it be in the workplace or in a relationship or amongst a group of friends in a social circle or with family (particularly dysfunctional families), if you understand yourself and each other, on a deeper level, then it can't help but raise the vibration, because you know who to connect with and who to steer clear of, or how to approach or deal with people you need to steer clear of but can’t. And attraction is inevitable, Human Design actually explains what attraction is, which gives you more power to make choices as well. You can also get relationship information by putting two charts together and see where they meet and what gets created by those relationships.
Human Design is so accessible now. You can go online to find out what your Design is. Jovian Archive www.jovianarchive.com is the official home of the teachings of the Human Design system. There is also www.mybodygraph.com On either you can input your birth information, look at your body graph and the information provided with it and find out a bit about your Design before you even need to pay to have a foundational reading. It’s really good to have an accurate birth time to get an accurate reading. If you don’t know your birth time there are apps now that show the changes that happen in the course of the day so there are experts who can do birth time rectification as well.
Also, an in-person 10 minute chart overview will give you enough to work with to be in alignment with your own personal Human Design experiment more truly and accurately.
There are alot of people out there offering Human Design in lots of different ways, and some of it is incorrect and not authentic and not approved by Jovian Archive or the International School of Human Design.
You have to get a foundational reading with a trained analyst, which is what Angie is in training for, but she can offer a free 10-minute overview, in-person or by Zoom.

Many people say we don't get a roadmap in life. Well, actually, we do. Human Design is handing you a navigational map for how to be in alignment with your true authentic self.
