Summary
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit reflectorsreflections.substack.com The 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 th…
