Ra’s Words of Wisdom

Ra Uru Hu

Welcome to all of you. You can see that the subject today is probably the most overworked and dealt with subject in Human Design and deserves every little bit of attention that it gets. It’s so clear to me that this is the story and it’s the only story. It’s interesting. Human Design as a science of differentiation, that word “science,” there is nothing about Human Design that is just stated. I think it’s the thing that gives it integrity and value. For every aspect of Human Design that is offered on the surface there has been an enormous amount of time spent verifying the underlying mechanics that lead to that.

In fact, that journey of verifying and laying out the basics of the sciences is enormously exciting. But it’s exciting in the intellectual sense that we’re dealing with the ability to look at the world with an entirely new perspective, and to look at and to see the nature of being in its pure mechanics. And obviously, out of that comes many things that are of value. That is, things like the Primary Health System, our ability to be able to learn so much about the potential in the human body to differentiate.

And yet, from the point of view of the value of Human Design and what needs to be shared on the surface, it remains entirely focused here on Type and Strategy. It really is the whole story. And it’s the whole story in the sense that it is the synthesis of all the mechanical information that lies underneath. Everything about Type and Strategy is that it points us towards the only viable solution in terms of the being able to liberate the human spirit from the drudgery of the homogenized life and the dilemma of what it is to be not-self.

We are not equipped to simply be motivated by propaganda to transform our perception of life. It’s not enough for us to be moved, whether spirituality, religiously, mystically. The fact of the matter is that the mind is something that is helpless in being able to transform the life. And the only thing that truly aligns the life is the ability to be able to know where to find the essence of personal truth. I guess that’s really one of the most difficult places for a human being to go to. That is, to deny the possibility that the other has your truth. It takes a great deal of courage to be able to not only embrace your own Authority, but to live it. It is quite a thing to live your own Authority.

So in dealing with Type and Strategy today, yes, it’s the basics, and it’s the deep basics, but it is the most important knowledge that Human Design brings. There’s nothing like it. And any human being that goes through the process of living their Type and Strategy knows profoundly how this has transformed their life and how valuable that process really is. And despite all the things that go on—the dilemmas of mind, the power of the other to be a conditioning force that if you are clearly, deeply involved in following the experiment of your Type and Strategy then you are able to find your way through all that.

It’s something else as well, that Type and Strategy is the only thing that can begin the process of the transformation of the mind, the transformation of the passenger, of the Personality consciousness, of that potential to reach a state of acuity in which no matter what term we want to apply to it, the fact that the mind is finally released from the burden of being preoccupied with the illusion. Type and Strategy, no matter where you go, leads to the perfection of what it is to be us. So, basic it may be, it is the whole story.
