Reflection of the Week: Human Design & Hermetic Principles.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.comThe other day I was listening to Professor Jiang on YouTube, who speaks about something he calls “Predictive History” - a fascinating way of contemplating the development of world affairs. In one of his videos, he mentioned that he adheres to Hermetic philosophical principles. That caught my attention, so I looked them up and was struck by the interesting parallels I see with Human Design.The main Hermetic principles are:• Mentalism – The All is Mind.Reality originates from universal consciousness; everything is an expression of consciousness. Human Design Cosmology presents a remarkably similar perspective through its description of the Crystals of Consciousness, from which everything we can know emerges. In this view, all that exists is an expression of consciousness.• Correspondence – As above, so below; as below, so above.Patterns in the universe are reflected at every level, from the cosmos to the individual. Human Design, through its fractal nature, echoes this same principle. We are part of an Organizational Being, part of a larger living cosmic body, where the patterns of the whole are reflected in each of us.• Vibration – Everything moves.Everything is in constant motion; differences are differences of degree or frequency. Human Design expresses this beautifully in the statement, “Life is music.” Through the BodyGraph, we have a way of describing the unique frequency and vibration of each atomic form. Our individual BodyGraph can be seen as the musical notation of our own unique frequency.• Polarity – Everything has its opposite.Opposites are two extremes of the same thing and can be transformed into one another. Human Design is built upon polarity from the very foundation of its cosmology. At every level of existence, life is understood through complementary opposites.• Rhythm – Everything flows in cycles.Life unfolds through natural rhythms and recurring cycles of rise and fall. Human Design reflects this principle through the Global Cycles that Ra described, illustrating how larger evolutionary movements shape humanity over time.• Cause and Effect – Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause.Nothing happens by chance; every event arises from preceding causes. In Human Design, we could see this reflected in the distinction between living from conditioning and living from Strategy and Authority. Acting from conditioning tends to create resistance, while acting in alignment with one’s Strategy and Authority tends to bring greater ease and consistency. Rather than framing this as moral causality, Human Design presents it as the natural consequence of alignment versus misalignment.• Gender – Masculine and feminine principles exist in everything.Creation arises through complementary active and receptive principles. In Human Design, the coding of energy can be understood as an expression of these Yin and Yang dynamics, whose interplay gives rise to the unique harmony of every individual.I find it beautiful to see how Human Design synthesizes ideas from many different traditions. It is equally fascinating to continue discovering principles - such as these Hermetic teachings, which originated many centuries after the time of Christ - that I can recognize within the Human Design material.__________________________________________________________________________________________In chapter 2 on Human Design Cosmology in my book, I share my own reflections on this subject and on the beauty I see in the idea that everything we know is ultimately an expression of connection. If that resonates with you, I invite you to check it out.The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.This week, the Neutrino Weather is brings forward a tension between the need for logical details and the zest - driven by desire - for progress and kickstarting new cycles. [See the Neutrino Weather full video in the inner circle bellow]* Instant access to the full archive of previous posts* Two live Zoom gatherings per month (bring your Bodygraph for live commentary + Q&A… next meeting will be on Sunday July 19th at 10:00 am Madrid time)For anyone subscribing to my newsletter (inner circle), I would like to inform you that you are invited to assist and bring your own Bodygraph and questions LIVE, every two weeks.
