Finding A New Balance
Dharmen’s 84th birthday was in April. Together, we began his new Uranian cycle with profound gratitude for the precious experience of being alive – and for the unwavering love and connection between us.
The day before his 84th birthday, Dharmen had a stroke.

The obstacle is the mind itself. We live in a culture built on the mind’s narratives. As a species, we overvalue fantasy and the "dreaming of something better." We are trained to manufacture a life based on past imaginations, treating those thoughts as if they were reality.
Currently, 96% of humanity is caught in an endless loop: imagining a desire, pushing to make it real, and when it fails to meet the mind’s expectations, "figuring out" a new plan. This is the recipe for a life driven by the mind.
How do we enhance awareness?
We enhance awareness through the daily practice of being aware of our variables as we practice our strategy and Inner Authority. Awareness changes everything. It lets your vehicle live life fully while you relax and observe the experience.
It is the body that lives the life.* Each of us has a vehicle that vibrates with life. It operates at a specific frequency. Daily practice of our PHS regimen is an experiment in attunement of the body’s frequency and enhances our awareness of our Inner Authority—whether center or process-based.
We have been raised to treat life as a problem to solve, a result to obtain. What action do I take next to get what my mind says is most important to do, be, or have? The mind has kept us distracted so we don’t feel alone. It has kept us busy, so we don’t notice the emptiness of its promises. It has kept us on the never-ending search for more, which is focused on the future and what to do next. When we no longer run our lives from this mental drive, it is a shattering of a deeply held illusion that has been projected outward as the way of life.
It is a kind of dark night of the soul.

As we reach a significant age, living in a human body brings its own unique challenges. No one gets out alive, and you can't go back to how it was before.
This period of our lives is about finding a new balance.
The obstacle is the mind itself. We live in a culture built on the mind’s narratives. As a species, we overvalue fantasy and the "dreaming of something better." We are trained to manufacture a life based on past imaginations, treating those thoughts as if they were reality.
Currently, 96% of humanity is caught in an endless loop: imagining a desire, pushing to make it real, and when it fails to meet the mind’s expectations, "figuring out" a new plan. This is the recipe for a life driven by the mind.
‘No Choice’ is the theme for me right now. There is such a relaxation into the deep surrender to Inner Authority for me. Perhaps it is the relaxation of my nervousness in the emotional wave, or it is that my mind has finally accepted that the body is in charge of this or that decision, which allows me to relax. Who knows, but I enjoy the feeling that comes with reaching that place of acceptance.
We're living in a time of significant decline, but we can take one decisive action: actively gathering and recording the transformative potential of Human Design. It is a legacy resource for future generations who choose to explore themselves through Human Design. It needs to exist so that future generations may have a unique experience of themselves and being alive.
Ra is gone; no one will be directly initiated into their Human Design experiment by Ra anymore. Many first-generation experimenters have already passed away, including Randy Richmond, Kathy Kinnard, Mal Brittain, Ilana Jagruti, Ed Stanton, Zeno, and Jurgen, to name just a few.
Those of us who were direct students of Ra share our experiences as evidence of the experiment, which has succeeded and continues to provide each of us with a life like no other. We each experience ourselves and life with greater awareness. We can view Human Design as a path for individuals to realize themselves as passenger consciousness, experiencing this human life with empathy, acceptance, and a profound sense of love.
We are undeniably living through immense global change, a mutation affecting everything from our weather to our societies. To navigate this, we must find inner stability and become the conscious observer, the 'passenger' within our own lives.
My personal journey, marked by emotional volatility and a triple-split awareness, was further complicated by conditioning, leading to fear and protective mechanisms that obscured my true self. However, by embracing Human Design, I freed my mind from its controlling role, allowing for a transformative shift.
How do we enhance awareness?
We enhance awareness through the daily practice of being aware of our variables as we practice our strategy and Inner Authority. Awareness changes everything. It lets your vehicle live life fully while you relax and observe the experience.
It is the body that lives the life.* Each of us has a vehicle that vibrates with life. It operates at a specific frequency. Daily practice of our PHS regimen is an experiment in attunement of the body’s frequency and enhances our awareness of our Inner Authority—whether center or process-based.
The not-self is the mind as the decision maker.* It is the 7-centered inheritance from our past. For centuries, everything—religion, culture, society—has taught us to let our minds lead.
This was somewhat controlled by the global cycle Cross of Planning background frequency, focusing on the 'greater good.' But those old systems were also deeply unfair, biased, and based on 'us versus them' thinking. Right now, we're seeing a lot of chaotic and irrational behavior from people acting on their individuality without self-awareness. As the guardrails of the Cross of Planning fall away, the warning from our future becomes clearer: Individuality without awareness is chaos.
We are designed to live as unique individuals and make choices based on our own Inner Authority, not by outside pressures. The 9-centered potential is about being aware in the present, in this moment. Remembering that we’re here to witness life and experience consciousness while in form is crucial.
It's not about stopping conditioning entirely. It's a natural part of life. The question is: how do we respond to it? Do we blindly follow the crowd, living a life driven by our mind's conditioning? Or do we observe the mind’s reactions to conditioning, developing a new sense of self-awareness that is aware of the patterns of the mind?
Each time we meet our conditioning, we can make a new decision. The challenge is enhancing our awareness of our Inner Authority.

Human Design is not going to stop the changes that life is bringing. Crises will still happen. What was interesting to me was seeing that I have naturally changed how I deal with crises. I can let it be and still be me.

In 1999, we met Ra for the first time in Sedona. We each had an individual reading alone with Ra, and together, we had a partnership reading—one right after the other, all on the same day. He wore this funny little hat, and we sat with him next to his computer, our chart on the screen and the cassette deck spinning away. We still have the cassette recordings he made for us.
He said, ‘Do not trust me, don’t believe me—experiment and find out for yourself the validity of Human Design.’ Our experiments following our readings with Ra continue to mutate and transform our lives today.
Selen Parman contacted us this summer about the film documentary she is making and asked us to be interviewed for this project, called ‘The 4% Experiment’. She has involved many direct students of Ra to help bring this project to life in a meaningful format that honors Human Design and Ra’s impact.
Over the past few months, we’ve worked with Selen through online meetings, texts, and emails as her vision of this project has begun to take shape and context. It is a worthy endeavor and needs our support.
So, we are returning to Ibiza. This is the first time we’ve been there since Ra’s death. Ibiza has always held a special place in our beings. Not only is the island’s geology and history unique, but it is also the home of Human Design’s origin. It is where Ra taught live annual events. It is where his studio and classes were taught for many years. It is where we connected with many of our online Ra classmates who have become renowned teachers of Human Design.
We will teach as part of The Return to Magic Island from October 24 to 28. Each day of this special event will feature presenters who were all direct students of Ra and have much to offer in their unique work with Human Design. We’ll be presenting a lecture on Awareness and Change, a topic that affects us all in our rapidly changing world. We are all participating to support fundraising for the film.
Can you join us?
It would be lovely to connect with you.
There’s a noticeable change in the background frequency when the conditioned nodal viewpoint shifts.
On January 8th at 2:33 pm UTC time, there will be a significant change in the gates of the transiting nodes, which will last about four months as the nodes move through these gates.
Human Design offers us a strategy for becoming aware of our experience of our Inner Authority. We can experience our unique vehicle being in the flow of life, of our experience of inner alignment. The potential is our unique embodiment of awareness.
Who is observing that experience? Who notices?
The dilemma we all face is discovering the frequency of being ourselves – becoming aware of the essence of this vehicle, both body and mind, form and personality, and what it feels like to observe life through this vehicle.
With the mechanics of Human Design, the path to self-love is a binary path. On the one side, we have to train the mind to observe the experience of the present moment, the life that the body is experiencing. In order to train the mind, we have to be able to see the conditioning blinds, the persistent illusion that the mind is focused upon. When we can see the conditioning stories, we can begin to observe what is beyond them.
Humanity is at a crossroads. The question is, do we live out the same-old, survival driven life like our ancestors? Or, do we find a way to become more conscious of being alive, and relate to life from a sense of communion?
If we are to survive as a species, we have to begin to take individual responsibility for moving from a mentally driven life, to a consciously experienced life. And that work can no longer be put off, can no longer be a nice dream of someday.
The change from survival to communion is not a matter of belief or ideals. If it was only about ideals, then we could all think our way into a felt-sense of communion, of connection. However, ideology does not change lives, it only creates mental identification.
As I am a Generator, it may seem strange that I have made the lunar path part of my daily Human Design experiment. Some of you know that my partner, Dharmen, is a Reflector. The life of a Reflector is discovered through their relationship with the lunar path. Therefore, since he’s a Reflector, it would seem logical that I would study the lunar transits so that I could have a sense of what he is Reflecting at any given time. Wrong assumption. Here’s 5 reasons why I explore with the Path of the Moon.
