The beauty of this process at its deepest level is to reconnect you with you. And what I mean by that is the moment that the mind stops being your decision maker it has to be busy with something; mind is always busy, it's watching. You can watch it. The deeper you understand yourself, the greater the comedy of watching yourself in action, to see the mechanism at work.

Remember, we are a passenger consciousness. These are not our bodies. The passenger consciousness isn't even made of the same material. This vehicle is a medium for the cognitive experience. We've had vehicles before, it is part of the evolutionary process. And we happen to have superb vehicles now, nine centered, Uranian vehicles, long lifespan, late flowering.

But without the dedication, without the discipline, without being radical — if it is awareness that you seek — without those things, you will not get there. Oh yes, you'll be better equipped to live on this plane. Anyone who follows their Strategy and Authority is going to benefit. But this deep cleansing process, this deep individual process, is something else. This is something that has to take hold of you completely.

Human Design Is Personal Knowledge

I've watched a lot of years; I’ve watched a lot of people come into Human Design. And in this era, with the kind of interest that there is, there are all kinds of human beings. The time is right, but this is not a mass movement. Human Design is not universal knowledge; it's personal knowledge. We've never had it before. Understand that never, never on this plane have we ever had such a thing. It is personal knowledge.

It's the beauty of it; it's the beauty of what you are. It's the beauty of what's possible, to break out of the homogenization and to be able to take your script and bring to it a unique and inspiring performance so that Line that you have, that a million and a half, 20 million, or a hundred million others have suddenly rings with the uniqueness unlike anything that anyone has ever seen or heard.

There is magic within each of us to fulfill the possibility of the performance that is inherent in what we are. And it is not just that we are here to be these silent, cognitive, wise folk. No, no, it’s about entering into a new level of social interaction that has nothing to do with survival and has everything to do with awareness.
