Human Design was developed in 1987 by a man named Ra Uru Hu (born Robert Allan Krakower). He claimed that the system was revealed to him during a mystical experience where he received information about how to integrate various systems of knowledge. These systems include:
- Astrology: The positions of planets at the time of your birth influence different aspects of your personality and life path.
- The I Ching: An ancient Chinese text that provides insights into change and decision-making through a system of 64 hexagrams, which correspond to the 64 gates in the Human Design chart.
- The Kabbalah: A mystical Jewish tradition that maps out the structure of the universe and the human soul, represented in Human Design through channels and connections in the BodyGraph.
- The Chakra System: A concept from Hindu and Buddhist traditions that describes seven energy centers in the body, which are similar to the nine centers in the Human Design chart.
- Quantum Physics: The idea that everything in the universe is interconnected, which in Human Design is reflected in the understanding of how our energy impacts and is impacted by the world around us.
By integrating these systems, Human Design provides a comprehensive and practical tool for self-discovery, helping you live in a way that is aligned with your true nature.
