BEYOND HUMAN DESIGN: PART 2
When I first met Human Design, I recognized it as a tool. I put it to work as a resource for self-understanding. At the time, this effort of self-understanding was an all-consuming aim. It wasn’t until later that I’d come to recognize it as a natural extension of my deeper search for fundamental Truth.
But once the realization landed, it took root: there was a reason my attempts to understand myself had failed to lead me to a satisfying end; to understand the truth about myself, I needed first to understand the Truth. I simply had the sequence out of whack.
Recognizing this explained a lot. I had grown so weary of analysis: this bottomless pursuit of information from the outside in - as if any human system could account for even the most negligible fraction of the countless details that bear weight upon the simplest event.
No. Analysis was too easily entangled in the web of information on the surface of effects; what I needed to discover was the cause. Seeing this stopped me dead in my tracks. (Seeing this completely changed my life.)
I chose to lay aside the systems + ideas I had counted on for years. I chose to start again, to start from scratch; to set out on a search for fundamental truth; to seek the Ground of Truth above all else.
I even laid aside my need to know myself (a terrifying act) - on faith that somehow it would be resolved along the way.
I got very very quiet. I closed all my books. I got to work.
