Using the Wisdom from the Open and Undefined Centers in Human Design
Open + Undefined Centers:
We’re driven to get what we don’t have. If you look at your chart versus your friend’s or your partner’s chart, I bet they will have gates and energy centers that “complete” your own personal chart.
We are deeply attracted to what we don’t have, it drives us to improve, it drives us forward but we can’t let the quest for what we don’t have overtake us, we can’t let it diminish us, or let it turn off our light.
When we are driven by the mind (which is an illusion, we never have control) we can get caught up operating out of a lack mentality.I believe this is what fuels rampant consumerism, this drive to fill this void, this need to be externally validated that will never stop until we learn to work within our own internal framework.
Our wisdom comes from an ability to accept our own humanity.
The wabi-sabi. We begin to stop the hemorrhaging when we learn to accept our own limitations. It’s not the same as giving up, but it is surrendering. Surrendering to the idea that maybe our mind doesn’t know all the answers. When we honor our body’s wisdom, we can see our gifts more clearly. I love Human Design because it’s a framework that honors all the ways we can be smart. School + social conditioning tamp down our inclinations for individualism, forcing us to be measured through testing. We have all these measures of success out there - success metrics however set up a system of winners and losers. We must widen the societal acceptance for success.
WE’RE AFRAID TO LOOK INTO OUR CONDITIONING BECAUSE WE’RE TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT ABOUT WHAT WE WILL FIND.
MYTH: THE THINGS THAT YOU ARE ASHAMED OF MAKE YOU A BAD PERSON.
FACT: YOU ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT + CIRCUMSTANCES
MINDSET SHIFT: YOUR CONDITIONING IS NOT PERSONAL - REALIZING YOUR CONDITIONING IS A PRODUCT OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT (WHO YOU GREW UP AROUND, YOUR CULTURE, YOUR SCHOOL, ETC.) AND NOT A REFLECTION OF WHO YOU ARE IS A MASSIVE AH-HA MOMENT.
