    Preface

    The development of the Multidimensional Human Design System MHDS) marks aturning point in the integrative synthesis of psychology, astrology, esoteric theory, and

    science. As far as I know, MHDS is the first theory that maps out the integration ofpersonality through states of consciousness; it combines practical, scientific, and esoteric

    thought into a unified whole. MHDS bridges many interdisciplinary fields in a well-grounded way. During the years that I have worked with this material, it has continued to

    evolve as new information validates its components and furthers its capacity to explainbehavior in terms of functional consciousness throughout the 24-hour day.

    MHDS works with the whole person, i.e., it explains how auric energy fields feed the

    waking personality. Other theories of personality lack the degree of specificity in how thelayers of a person function mechanically in the person. MHDS supplies a mechanical

    model through which one can study the pattern of energy flow in each auric field of aperson in order to understand the functional dynamic active in the person.

    As a tool, MHDS is invaluable to the clinician as well as to the lay person since it serves

    as a model of understanding behavior and empowering each individual with his/her ownunique way of being, but it is also easily understood, non verbally, through its symbolic

    graphics.

    Forward

    Many years ago, I read the Emerald Tablet by Hermes. Although it fascinated me, I did

    not fully comprehend its meaning. As I work with the MHDS, I understand this documentand its full importance. Before you read this paper, please take a few moments to read the

    Emerald Tablet, letting it move within you without attempting to understand or analyze

    it. The MHDS follows the model described by Hermes in his Emerald Tablet. The moreyou grasp of the mechanics of the worlds and their operation, the more understanding youcan have of the totality in which you operate.

    When you finish this MHDS paper, read The Emerald Tablet again. Note any changes in

    your comprehension and allow the information to move within you without attempting toforce any analysis. You may experience something very deep and very profound in

    yourself.

    The Emerald Tablet of Hermes

    True, without falsehood, certain and most true, that which is above

    is as that which is below, and that which is below is as that which isabove, for the performance of the miracles of the One Thing. And as all

    things are from One, by the mediation of One, so all things have their birthfrom this One Thing by adaptation. The Sun is its father, the Moon its

    mother, the Wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the Earth. This is thefather of all perfection, or consummation of the whole world. Its power is

    integrating, if it be turned into earth.Thou shalt separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the

    gross, suavely, and with great ingenuity. It ascends from earth to heavenand descends again to earth, and receives the power of the superiors and of

    the inferiors. So thou hast the glory of the whole world; therefore let allobscurity flee before thee. This is the strong force of all forces,

    overcoming every subtle and penetrating every solid thing. So the worldwas created. Hence were all wonderful adaptations, of which this is the

    manner. Therefore am I called Hermes Trismegistus, having the threeparts of the philosophy of the whole world. What I have to tell is

    completed, concerning the Operation of the Sun.

    IntroductionThroughout history humans have sought to understand and grasp their true nature; in this

    process they look beyond ordinary reality since all of consciousness cannot be explainedby our interactions in the conscious world. There have always been individuals who

    claim extraordinary experiences that stimulate others to question the actual boundaries of

    reality.

    In esoteric literature, it is generally thought that our physical existence is only a small

    part of our nature and that our essence exists on higher planes of existence. In thewords of Ann Davies:

    For purposes of developing keener self-conscious awareness

    during an incarnation, we are concentrated down to a conscious knowledge

    of physical phenomena only most of the time. But, as aspects of the One

    Ego, we live also on higher planes. When we have become proficient in

    opening our consciousness to more subtle levels, we will become aware of

    these higher dwelling places of our soul. We will know also that all

    personalities dwell on all planes. It is becoming conscious of it that givessuperphysical powers. We will also find that to ascend in consciousness

    does not cut us off from participation in the physical world. All our work is

    aimed at helping us to live in such a way that we can enter into these higher

    levels of existence while still incarnate on the physical plane. This is the

    essence of Qabalistic and Hermetic doctrine (Builders of the Adytum,

    Lesson 29, The Oracle of Tarot, p. 2).

    In the Multidimensional Human Design System, each of the Matrices shows a level ofcosmic energies streaming into the physical plane. In esoteric theory relating to the Tree

    of Life, there are four worlds: the Atziluth world relates to the element of Fire, spiritual

    life, to the beginning of things or to the root matter; the Briatic World relates to theelement Water, to the creative realm, to desires, wishes and to the formation of plans andideas; the Yetzirah World relates to the element Air, to the process and force behind the

    veil of physical things; the Assiah World relates to the element Earth, to the materialworld of physical senses and to practical life.

    In the Multidimensional Human Design Matrices, the Basic Body Graph Design of 64-

    Gates serves as the integrative Matrix for all of the Worlds. Each calculation in the 64-Gate Matrix represents the unifying vehicle for one of the worlds; it is through the

    integration of the Matrices as a functioning whole that the individual finds the capacity tomove beyond ordinary reality and to recognize the mechanical aspects through which

    self-conscious awareness may be achieved. The Multidimensional Human Design Systemserves as a model of personality theory pinpointing the mechanical functioning of all

    layers of a persons psyche as it shifts in consciousness through the 24-hour day. Inaddition, the calculations of the Multidimensional Human Design System span the critical

    6-month period of a babys psychological development during which time the physicalcognitive perceptual structures develop allowing the individual to interact in/with the

    physical world.

    How the Conditioning Field Works

    Beginning with the activation of the Prenatal Sun 88 degrees prior to birth, the fetus is

    exposed to a psychological conditioning field that impacts it through the incomingneutrino field as affected by the transiting planets. The process that begins at 88 Solar

    degrees prior to birth continues every minute of every day as a moving stream of

    neutrinos impacts the organism at all layers of its being. Some planetary positions, i.e.,those of the transpersonal planets, move very slowly making their effect collective andgenerational; other planetary positions, i.e., those of the personal planets, move quickly

    leaving an effect in combination and nuance that is unique to each individual. By the timethe baby is born, the Sun has moved through almost a quarter of the zodiac wheel or

    through 16 Gates. From birth through the Postnatal calculation (88 Solar degrees afterbirth), the neonate experiences another quarter of the zodiac wheel or another 16 Gates of

    energy conditioning from the personal planetary Sun. The Sun has thus moved through176 degrees of arc in the Zodiac wheel.

    Since, in Design, the Incarnation Cross, or the opposition of the position of the

    prenatal/natal and natal/postnatal Sun and Earth, is important in conditioning theindividual, it is important to recognize that the Earth during this critical 6-month period

    also moves 176 degrees of arc in the zodiac wheel. Thus, within the 176 degrees of arcconsidered in the Design calculation arc, the zodiac wheel serves to condition the infant

    through 352 degrees of the zodiac wheel. This arc programs into each individual themacrocosm of the universe as they integrate it within their own microcosmic perspective.

    Once this concept is understood (cf. Illustration of the Path of Planets, page 7) thedynamic way in which the other matrices integrate into the individual psyche become

    easier to comprehend.

    In order to clearly understand this concept, look at the Illustrations of EleanorsPrenatal/Natal and Natal/Postnatal Solar Charts with special focus on the Sun () and

    Earth () positions.

    (64 Gate Matrix)

    Notice that Eleanors prenatal Sun begins in the Zodiac Wheel in Virgo, in theAstrological sixth house, corresponding to Gate 47 Line 5 in the I-Ching Hexagrams. It

    proceeds to the natal Sun position in the Zodiac Wheel in Sagittarius, in the astrologicalninth house, corresponding to Gate 26 Line 3 in the I-Ching Hexagrams. It continues

    postnatally to Pisces in the Zodiac Wheel, the twelfth house, corresponding to Gate 22Line 1 in the I-Ching Hexagrams. Correspondingly, the Earth position moves from its

    Prenatal position in Pisces, Gate 22 Line 5 to its Gemini astrological position at birth inthe third house, Gate 45 Line 3; it finishes postnatally in Virgo in the sixth house in Gate

    47 Line 1.

    Follow these planetary positions in the Body Graph illustrations (page 6) and then look to

    the Planetary Path Illustration (page 7) in order to visualize exactly how much of theZodiac wheel is imprinted as a conditioning field into the individual. This Solar

    conditioning field always traverses through the same number of degrees around the wheel

    although the signs and Gates change for each person.

    The 64-Gate Solar Human Design Body Graph, familiar to many people, represents only

    a moment in time, the birth moment, which we all know is a very critical point ineveryones life. This moment imprints the individual more strongly than many other

    moments because of the increased effects of the planetary fields with birth, and becausebirth is the most important event since it begins a persons conscious life. However, think

    back to other defining moments in your life. Think of your first day at school, graduationfrom high school or college, the day you got married, the day you had a baby, the death

    of a loved one, a car accident, a significant world event such as the crash into the WorldTrade Center; any of these events remain vivid in memory because they served as a

    defining moment in your life. Astrologers often look for defining dates in order to studythe aspects that affected the individual at that time. Usually, such events show up in a

    persons astrological chart. In a similar vein, there are three defining times prenatally andpostnatally for everyone; these indicate critical times for the other auric bodies that

    integrate us with the other worlds of our consciousness. [Critical times or periods aredefined in the psychological and physiological literature as periods of time that serve as a

    window of opportunity, some narrow, some wide during which experiences fatefully andpermanently shape the development of the individual. These periods occur beginning

    with conception and continue at specific times throughout childhood, and, perhaps eveninto adulthood.] All of the times used in the Multidimensional charts are calculated based

    on an arc of 88 zodiac degrees or minutes; they are calculated based on the degreesof arcof the Sun or of the Moon as well as on 88 minutesof arc, again, of the Sun or of the

    Moon.

    [For those inexperienced astrologically, time in astrology is expressed in degrees,minutes, and seconds. For example, each 60 equals 595960, i.e., sixty degrees equals

    fifty-nine degrees, 59 minutes, and 60 seconds.]

    The Multidimensional Design Calculation Layers

    Before moving into more depth relating the different worlds in which we function in

    different matrices, it is important to understand the calculations and the planetary pathmade as a conditioning field for each of the auric bodies that integrate each of the worlds

    in our consciousness. The Multidimensional Human Design System illustrates theprenatal, natal, and postnatal conditioning points for the Mental, Spiritual, Emotional, and

    Physical Worlds in which we live. The Solar 64-Gate Body Graph shows the MentalBody, i.e., the way we relate primarily when we are in our waking consciousness and

    when we are interacting with other people or interacting in the material physical plane ofexistence. The Lunar 64-Gate Body Graph maps our Spiritual Body as well as illustrating

    the Unifying Integrating Field in which we operate during dreaming or Rapid EyeMovement (REM) sleep; it is at this time during the 24-hour day when we integrate

    information between the worlds. This Lunar Body Graph is calculated using the degreesof the Moon rather than of the degrees of the Sun. The 64-Gate Solar Minute Body Graph

    shows the Emotional Body or the way we relate specifically as an emotional being withothers; this Body Graph is calculated using 88 solar minutesrather than degrees of the

    Sun. The 64-Gate Lunar Minute Body shows the hormonal/physical body timer. It times

    the Dream or REM cycle for an individual and times the release of various hormones thatinterface with the biological matrix regulating our bodily functions. As you can see, the64-Gate matrices are the integrative ones in our daily life. However, these 64-Gate

    matrices tell only a partial story.

    Before amplifying the functions of the different calculations in the different worlds, it isimportant to look at the arc that each of the calculations make in the Body Graph. Look at

    the Lunar Body Graph illustrations of Eleanors Body Graph.

    EHP Prenatal/Natal Lunar Body Graph EHP Natal/Postnatal Lunar Body Graph

    In the Lunar Body Graph, the timing of the conditioning field is different and muchshorter than it is for the Solar Body conditioning field. (Each planetary body takes a

    different amount of time to make one rotation. The Earth rotates around the Sun aboutone degree per day whereas the Moon rotates around the Earth about a degree per day.

    This difference in rotational speed makes the same calculation shift the number of daysprenatally to postnatally). Follow the Lunar path in both the Charts and in the Planetary

    Path (page 7) Illustration. Note that in Eleanors Body Graph, the Moon moves from a

    prenatal position in Leo, the fifth house astrologically, Gate 31 Line 4 to its natal positionin Scorpio, the eighth house, Gate 28.2 to its postnatal position in Aquarius on the cusp ofthe eleventh house, Gate 60 Line 6. Note that the Lunar conditioning field covers 32

    gates of the wheel or 176 degrees of arc but because the Moon moves so much faster thanthe Sun, it takes only 6 days for the Moon to move from its prenatal to its natal position

    and another 6 days for the Moon to move from its natal to its postnatal position.

    This Lunar timing corresponds to the last week of a womans pregnancy and to the firstweek after a baby is born. Interestingly, in the Jewish religion it is said that the soul

    enters the body and takes up its residence about a week after a baby is born; it is thereason in the Jewish religion there is a ceremony performed at day 7 of a babys life and

    not before on the physical body. Often, women experience a shift in their consciousness

    about a week before their baby is born. In terms of working with this layer, it is importantto note the reversal of the red and black numbers on the Lunar layer; this reversal of colorrepresents that the Active field of consciousness in this realm is the unconscious and not

    the consciously activated field. The Active field of consciousness in all Body Graphcharts is shown in Black; it shows the Gates to which we have easiest access in

    consciousness.

    The Solar Minute Calculation is a calculation done on the Sun but using the minutes ofarc rather than the degrees of arc in order to get a timeframe that corresponds to the

    emotional body of the person. This calculation gives a span of about four days from theprenatal to the postnatal conditioning, about the time it takes for an individual to go

    through their emotional wave in the Solar Plexus Center. In this short time period, youcan see by looking at the Planetary Path illustration, that Eleanors Sun, using this

    calculation, goes through only three lines in Sagittarius from Gate 26 Line 2 to Gate 26Line 5 in this complete time frame. In terms of pregnancy and birth, this four-day period

    corresponds to the time about two-days before birth when a womans body beginsreleasing the hormones for the birth process and to the 48 hour period after birth when

    colostrum is secreted by the breasts prior to milk beginning to flow. It is also the mainbonding time with a newborn on an instinctive physiological level for the mother and

    child.

    The Lunar Minute calculation corresponds to the Solar Minute calculation in terms ofusing an 88-minute calculation but in this case using the degrees, minutes, and seconds of

    the Moon rather than of the Suns position at birth. This layer of the Body Graph timesthe dream cycle and also marks the time frame of the transition to the birth stage of Labor

    in a normal delivery. It is the marker of the hormonal releasers that control bodyfunctions in the biological matrix. It also corresponds to planetary hours and to the hours

    used in Chinese Medicine.

    The Solar World The Mental World

    The Solar timetable of conditioning corresponds in developmental psychological terms to

    the critical period of the last trimester of pregnancy when the consciousness of the fetusis viable in terms of survival. In addition, during the first three months of a babys life the

    baby is considered a neonate meaning that the baby does have much capacity beyond theinstinctive reflex responses while developing perceptual and cognitive pathways related

    to its environment. It is apparent, clinically as well as in terms of my work with 30,000cases examined in terms of the Solar Body Graph, that this Solar matrix has only a

    limited function in the psychological make-up of a human being. The Solar Body Graphshows how we interact in the world and function in relationship to our environment. It

    shows the mental body in the sense that it represents our conscious waking reality withmany functional layers beneath it.

    In esoteric theory and practice, those who believe that the personality is the totality of the

    person may fall short in recognizing that they are only a vehicle for a much morepervasive consciousness that operates on many layers and in many worlds at the same

    time. By seeing the Solar Body Graph as representative of only a part of the whole of

    who we are, suddenly we can access the actual mechanics of how we function in terms ofour total being. The Solar world is a world of the world. It is the material plane in itsreality, and it is, by its very nature, an illusion; the Solar world is also very limiting in its

    scope of existence. No world in and of itself is a complete picture.

    The Lunar World The Spiritual World

    The Lunar world, the world of Spirit and of Dreams functions to integrate the unity of

    consciousness with the whole. Because the Lunar world communicates during dreamsand on other dimensions of time and space, it is elusive. Also, because of the 6-day lag

    time before the unconscious active field becomes conscious to our waking being, thisworld tends to be hard to grasp for most people. However, in my own experiences

    clinically on thousands of cases, this Lunar world seems to be the world many people feelrepresents their soul connection; when read in conjunction with the Solar and other

    worlds, it empowers individuals to stand up to be their true divine self.

    The Lunar world is experienced only in Dreaming or symbolically. It is never directlyexpressed since it comes through us in non-language ways; it is the world of symbols, of

    art, of music, of intuition. When in the dream world we have a direct experience of otherdimensions all integrating in the 64-Gate Matrix and coming through in a way that

    communicates with our soul and with our deepest nature that is Divine. When we attemptto translate from this Lunar world into the Solar world there is never a perfect expression.

    The Lunar world is translated into language through Gate 12. Gate 12 serves as a Portalto the World of Earth. It is through this 12

    thGate that we can put words to the symbols

    and express things while we attempt to understand them in the reality plane in which welive. Each Portal from each world interfaces with a world in a specific way and thus,

    when looked at for its dynamic gives a very interesting and clear picture to the individualof how information is transferred within their psyche.

    Psychological theories of personality that discuss the conscious and the unconscious on a

    personal level look at the personality modulated by the conscious mind and thus operateonly at the Solar layer of awareness. Freudian theory is an example of a theory trying to

    understand the totality of personality through a Solar perspective. Even though Freudpostulated a superego, ego, and id, he also postulated that the ego mediates those

    components of personality and that they operate through the waking world. In Freudianterms, dreams are analyzed in terms of their personal symbolism bringing all worlds into

    an egocentric model. This view, although very beneficial in the early days of the clinicalpractice of psychology, has very definite limitations in its breadth of understanding. In

    my view, Freuds greatest gift was his recognition that the unconscious and dreams havean important message to communicate and that paying attention to them can enhance

    individual as well as group consciousness.

    Jung took the Freudian view further. Jung postulated a collective unconscious as well asexistence of the archetypes of the anima and animus taking the individual into the Lunar

    realm of the archetypal dimension (cf. Glossary for definition of terms). He tapped intoalchemy as well as to mystical dimensions, but because he lacked the constructs of the

    other worlds and how they work, he was limited in the interpretations he made. He,

    however, took a major step in comprehending that archetypes come from a universalplace and that these constructs are common to all cultures as symbols. He also tapped intothe recognition, with the ideas of the anima and animus, that there is a dynamic between

    men and women and within them individually that attempts to integrate the male aspectand female aspect (the Solar and Lunar designs in the 64-Gate Matrix). Quite a big step

    was taken with Jungs work in the early 1900s, probably congruent with the initialspotting of Chiron as a planetary body in 1897.

    (For a further graphic of the different Solar and Lunar constructs in personality theory see

    the Map of Consciousness posted on the Unified Life Sciences website:www.unifiedlifesciencs.com).

    Further Amplification of Solar and Lunar Concepts

    In order to further understand why the Lunar calculation is so important, it is relevant todigress for a moment to explain how the Lunar calculation becomes relevant for

    consciousness in humans. In the initial information received about the field of HumanDesign, it was revealed that when a human being sleeps, the operational matrix is a 15-

    Gate Matrix rather than a 64-Gate Matrix. This Matrix is the operational Matrix of amammal. Of course, humans are mammals. In this 15-Gate Matrix, there is no Crown

    Center, there is no Ajna Center, there is no Solar Plexus Center, and there is no HeartCenter. Thus, when a human sleeps, there is no cognition, no will, and no emotions. The

    astrological signs of Leo, Virgo, and Pisces are absent in the mammalian or sleep matrix.Furthermore, in mammals the Design Crystal resides in the Sacral Center. When we

    sleep, although we remain human, we move into a place of oneness with the collectiveconsciousness of the universe and we lose our active cognitive centers of consciousness.

    This kind of shift reflects itself in the brain wave activity as seen in brain scans duringvarious stages of sleep. During dreaming, however, all brain waves are present; it is in

    this phase of our consciousness that communication occurs between our waking and ourdreaming worlds. It is also in this phase of our consciousness that input from other

    matrices integrate into our waking life.

    The 15-Gate matrix is calculated using an 88-degree calculation based on the Mooninstead of on the Sun. This matrix has three Gates called Portal Gates that serve as the

    connection between mammalian and human consciousness and move us from one worldto the other world in terms of the information communicated. Those people who have one

    or more of the Portals to the other world are able to communicate with other mammalseasily. However, when we Dream, the information received during deep sleep is

    processed in our Lunar 64-gate matrix; it is then integrated into our wakingconsciousness. It is this cross over of consciousness communicated through neurological

    pathways in the brain that allows us to access other dimensions and to have a spiritualcapacity in our consciousness and in our life.

    The Solar level of the Human Design Body Graph shows only conscious awareness in

    our waking life; it represents the Mental Body, i.e., the way in which we interpretphysical interactions in the world in which we live. It is through the activations and/or the

    definitions of channels of related planets in the Body Graph that we are moved in one

    direction rather than another in terms of our sensibilities. Activations in the Body Graphwork on two levels: the personal planets are just that, personal filters that predispose us torelate in the world in certain ways; the transpersonal planets, i.e., the slow moving

    planets, are filters that change the collective consciousness of the planet in global cyclesand in ways which move people as a collective in certain directions. In our programming

    field, we are far from independent of other humans and animals. In fact, research hasshown that when a certain critical mass of similar thoughts is reached, the information

    surfaces in the consciousness of many. This phenomenon is labeled the hundredthmonkey phenomenon. This kind of energetic communication of ideas and behavior has

    also been noted in research on Transcendental Meditation and on prayer.

    A person who has the Sun in Gate 13 or in Aquarius has an experience of that Aquarianenergy Gate all the time; however, someone with no Aquarian Gate 13 activationcurrently (April 26, 2005) has that Gate defined by Neptune. This energy, activated in the

    collective culture now, moves everyone in ways those who have Gate 13 personallydefined generally experience. Gate 13 is currently programming everyone to remember

    and listen deeply for what they have learned from the past, i.e., from history. Gate 13 asthe Gate of the Listener, is activating everyone to become more aware of nuances that are

    behind the veil of appearances. While this capacity to recollect is something that someonewith a personal Gate 13 might engage in regularly, now the nostalgia of the collective is

    supporting and moving toward, hopefully, learning through its past experiences. Gate 13is keynoted: The Gate of the Listener: The Fellowship of Man (Universal ideas and

    values in an ordered framework which inspires humanistic cooperation.) (The Rave I-Ching, Jovian Archive. 2001. p. 13-14)

    The Solar Minute and Lunar Minute Worlds The Emotional and

    Hormonal/Physical Worlds

    The Solar Minute and the Lunar Minute calculations evolved out of my desire to

    document the physiological timing of the Dream cycle in humans as well as todifferentiate twin kittens whose birth data I had accurately timed. From the psycho-physiological literature on dreams it was clear that there had to be some calculation that

    would show a 90-minute timer in the human that could time the dream cycle. Also, it wasapparent that the Lunar mammalian matrix did not show the dream or sleep cycle of

    mammals; we know that cats and dolphins have been used extensively in understandingthe sleep cycle and dream cycle of humans; thus, it was documented scientifically that

    these animals dream. In addition, when I did the Lunar mammalian charts of a litter of sixkittens born within a two-hour period, they all had the same design chart and the same

    bases. Twin kittens, I hypothesized, would have to show some differences at the baselevel of their being especially since one of the twin cats died at age 10 of congenital

    cardiomyopathy and the other cat is still remains healthy at age 15. In the search for thescientific basis of differentiating twins, even human twins, I looked at the Lunar minute

    14

    base. The Lunar Minute is calculated based on an 88-degree arc of the minute of thezodiac position of the Moon. Out of this calculation, differentiation on the physiological

    level of being was clear. This calculation times the dream cycle of humans. Since manyhormones are released during sleep and dreaming and since there is much documented

    about the cycle of physiological shifts in the 24-hour day, this calculation has held up and

    proved valid in timing the physical being of an individual as well as in accuratelyrepresenting the sleep layer of a mammal.

    The Solar Minute calculation parallels the Lunar Minute calculation and was revealed inconjunction with the Lunar Minute calculation. The Solar Minute represents the

    Emotional being of a person in the world. It is calculated based on an 88-degree arc of theminute of the zodiac position of the Sun. It times the emotional cycle as four-day cycle

    and as stated earlier also times the emotional bonding of the mother and child. Theemotional body functions in a cyclic manner; its energy in the Body Graph is primarily

    focused in the Solar Plexus Center. It makes sense that the emotional cycle is timed on alayer of being that is not present in mammals who have no Solar Plexus Center in their

    matrix. Also, many emotions, although triggered by the physiology of a person, areimpacted by the environment and by interactions with other people. This calculation

    stands up to the test.

    The Four Worlds The Four Matrices

    The initial information about Human Design included the 64-Gate Solar Body Graph, the

    Lunar 15-Gate Mammalian and Human Sleep Body Graph, the 25-Gate Biological BodyGraph as it is laid down through the first trimester of pregnancy and then continues

    functioning throughout life. In working with these Body Graphs and in working clinicallyand statistically, it became apparent that several areas of functioning in a human being, as

    an integrated whole, were absent in the model. It became apparent in working withindividuals who are highly spiritual and mystical that they receive information from

    beings existing in other spheres or dimensions of time and space. This information iscommunicated to these people through some aspects of/in the Body Graph. For a model

    to hold scientifically, it must meet all criteria in function. When it does not hold up, eitherit needs to change or it needs to be discarded as a hypothetical model that is no longer

    useful. In design information, it seems that there was just some missing information.

    As clinical data continued to come in, it became clear that an Angelic matrix existedthat could account for the missing pieces. As the hypothesis of the existence of this

    matrix continued to find support, more information about it emerged. In its structure, theAngelic matrix consists of 33-gates with three Portal gates. To clarify, each of the four

    matrices representing each of the worlds is calculated using the Solar, Solar Minute,Lunar, and Lunar Minute calculations. Each matrix has three Portals that connect with a

    different world as in the other layers or matrices. In other words, each world has threePortals that link it to the 64-gate matrix as well as to the two other worlds through a

    partial matrix. The symmetry of nature can be seen in the functioning of this system. Inthe time since I first began using the angelic matrix in 2001, it has proved itself to be an

    invaluable part of understanding the functioning of any individual.

    Thus, Multidimensional Human Design uses four matrices in four worlds with a fifthworld integrating all. The four matrices correspond to the four worlds of esoteric theory.

    In design the Self-Center is where the magnetic monopole resides. It is the magneticmonopole that holds us in form. It is here that we see the Incarnation Cross of the Sphinx

    paralleling the positions of the four elements in the zodiac wheel in the four fixed signs of

    the zodiac. These signs are represented in Tarot cards and in their astrological positionsas well. They generally refer to the worlds represented in esoteric theory.

    The Atziluth World The World of Archetypes (The 15Gate Sleep Matrix) - Fire

    The Atziluth World is the world of Fire. In the zodiac it corresponds to the sign of Leo

    and to the fifth house. Gate 7, located in the Self-Center, represents the fixed sign of Leo.Gate 7 is keynoted: The Gate of the Role of the Self: The Army (The point of

    convergence. By design, the need for leadership to guide and order society) (The Rave I-Ching, Jovian Archive. 2001. p.7). Gate 7 has an initiating and powerful energy. It gives

    direction to the Self. It leads. In Tarot cards, this world is represented by the Lion andappears in both the World and in the Wheel of Fortune cards as the Lion in the Leo sign.

    In Design, this world relates to the 15-Gate matrix, the world of archetypes and thecollective unconscious. It functions in altered states of consciousness tapping into the

    instinctive survival aspects at the core of our being. It links us with the Divine Self andwith consciousness of the totality. From this plane of existence all else emerges.

    Although the fire sign is absent as a Gate in this matrix, the general matrix itself contains

    the energy of initiating fire. In Tarot the Atziluth world corresponds the to suit of Wands.

    The Briatic World The World of Mystical Inspiration (The 33Gate Angelic

    Matrix) - Water

    The Briatic world is the world of Water. In the zodiac it corresponds to the sign of

    Scorpio and to the eighth house. Gate 1, located in the Self-Center, represents the fixedsign of Scorpio. Gate 1 (all yang) in the I-Ching is keynoted: The Gate of Self-Expression: The Creative (Creation as a primal force. The energy potential to manifest

    inspiration without limitation). (The Rave I-Ching, Jovian Archive. 2001. p.1). Gate 1has powerfully creative energy. It gives expression to the Self. It creates. In Tarot cards,

    this world is represented by the Eagle and appears in both the World and in the Wheel ofFortune cards as the Eagle in the Scorpio sign.

    In Design this world relates to the 33-Gate matrix, the World of Mystical Inspiration or

    the Angelic matrix. It functions in states of consciousness that taps into the spiritualaspects at the core of our being linking us with Higher Beings in the totality. It is from

    this plane of existence that all creative transformation of thought and human endeavoremerges. In Tarot, the Briatic world corresponds the to suit of Cups.

    The Yetzirah World The World of Earth (The 64Gate Earth Matrix) - Air

    The Yetzirah world is the world of Air. In the zodiac it corresponds to the sign ofAquarius and to the eleventh house. Gate 13, located in the Self-Center, represents the

    fixed sign of Aquarius. Gate 13 in the I-Ching is keynoted: The Gate of The Listener:The Fellowship of Man (Universal ideas and values in an ordered framework which

    inspires humanistic cooperation). (The Rave I-Ching, Jovian Archive. 2001. p.13). Gate13 has powerfully human energy. It gives expression to the desires of man and integrates

    the worlds in form. It has to do with the process and the forces behind the veil of physicalthings. In Tarot cards, this world is represented by the human and appears in both the

    World and in the Wheel of Fortune cards as the human in the Aquarius sign. Note that sixof the seven the hexagrams in Solar Plexus Center have lower trigrams related to the

    zodiac sign of Aquarius. The seventh hexagram has a Leo lower trigram.

    In Design this world relates to the 64-Gate matrix, the World of Earth, the integrativeworld in which humans live. When at their highest potential, humans integrate all

    dimensions and all worlds in a fluidic manner honoring the Divine at the core of theirbeing and unified with all life. This world is an interactive world unifying all the matrices

    and integrating man within a totality as well as within himself. It is in this world that wemight find the way the mind, spirit, and the body work together. The 64-Gate matrix

    functions in all layers of consciousness, tapping into the all aspects at the core of ourbeing, and linking us with Higher Beings in the totality as well as with our physical form.

    It is from this plane of existence that all human activity emerges. In Tarot, the Yetzirahworld corresponds the to suit of Swords.

    The Assiah World The World of Biological Form (The 25-Gate Biological Matrix)

    - Earth

    The Assiah world is the world of Earth. In the zodiac it corresponds to the sign of Taurusand to the second house. Gate 2, located in the Self-Center, represents the fixed sign of

    Taurus. Gate 2 (all yin) in the I-Ching is keynoted: The Gate of Higher Knowing: The

    Receptive (Receptivity as the primal base through which any response is determined. Theroot of action). (The Rave I-Ching, Jovian Archive. 2001. p.1). Gate 2 has powerfulreceptive energy. It drives the Self, integrating the animal nature to the higher purpose of

    our existence. In Tarot cards, this world is represented by the Bull and appears in both theWorld and in the Wheel of Fortune cards as the Bull in the Taurus sign.

    In Design this world relates to the 25-Gate matrix, the world of our biological form and

    functioning. Without our physical and physiological organism we would and do ceaseexistence on the earth plane. When in the perfect flow biologically and mentally, we

    move without effort and in perfect health. It is from this plane of biological form that wemanage our vehicle and how it moves in the physical world of earth. In Tarot, the Assiac

    world corresponds the to suit of Pentacles.

    The Fifth World The World of Integration

    Beyond each separate world is a plane of consciousness that transcends and integrates the

    worlds. This world is a world in which comprehension is beyond the mind of a human; inthis realm, we live with a sense of the flow of all being and one with it. In this dimension,

    we live consciously in all the realms and in a vibration of unity. Part of the purpose ofknowing and learning the Multidimensional Human Design System is to enter this realm

    of existence with total trust in our form and using it as an instrument in harmony with agreater purpose. By recognizing that our form exists and crosses dimensions of time and

    space and by recognizing the structure of our design we are able to learn our strategy forfunctioning in this worldly dimension while in form. The Multidimensional Human

    Design tools allow an individual in a very simple way to access their functioningconsciousness energetically and with almost no words. The realization of the dynamic

    quality with which activity in our matrices turn on and off allows us to be more than oneway in the world and within ourselves; thus, the one moves to two to three to four and

    ultimately to more than itself into the five. It is in that world of integration that wholenessexists. The four 64-Gate Matrices function as this fifth world. They operate together

    turning on and off during a period of time in harmony with the universe and with thecelestial bodies. Once we access this rhythm, we become one with this process and can

    rest comfortably within our Divine Self.

    Working with the Multidimensional Human Design System

    Working with multiple layers and calculations of the Body Graphs of an individual often

    prove to be simpler than working with just the Solar Body Graph. To begin your ownexploration of this complex and yet easy to use system, look at your own

    Multidimensional Charts along with those of family and friends. Initially, look at whetherType changes from layer to layer. Then, using the Lunar Minute Postnatal design, fill in

    all gates that are activated in this one Body Graph. This composite design can show youthe actual functional Type of the individual.

    When someone changes from a Manifestor to a Generator as I do in moving from my

    Solar to my Lunar Prenatal/Natal design, Type rings true on a different level of onesbeing. For me, being a Solar Manifestor did not explain sufficiently why I do not usually

    take action or initiate actions; being a Lunar Generator instills in me a need to wait for an

    internal response on a spiritual level of my being beforeI know what action to take. OnceI recognized this pattern and energy in myself, I could understand why I have always hada sense of timing in what I do and seem to take action at the right time in the right way

    for myself. This pattern showed me how I move in the flow of my own spiritual being.Sometimes, a Reflector in the Solar Body Graph becomes a Manifesting Generator or

    vice versa. Some individuals never gain a Bridge to a Center even in their completecomposite. Some individuals never change Type. By looking simply at what Gates turn

    on and off, a very simple tool becomes extremely powerful with minimal interpretation.

    After looking at whether Type changes from one 64-Gate design to the next, look to seehow the person looks when seen through the 15-Gate matrices. Often in the sleep layer of

    ones design there is no definition at all, i.e., the person becomes a Reflector. If theperson had Sacral definition in the 64-Gate layers and loses it when they sleep, it is

    significant in terms of how information about their own responses carry forward fromday to day. In addition, Portal Gates tell you if the person moves easily through the

    different worlds and at which level of their own being. Play with this information alwaysasking yourself, what world it is in and how it might translate in the individuals

    experiences in the waking world.

    Next, look to see if the Sacral Center and the Ajna Center are defined. If they are bothdefined in someones composite, this person has a spirituality and a drive to understand

    the cosmos in ways that move the information to a higher octave than just ordinaryreality. It shows someone who is a seeker. It also shows potential as a Channel of

    information from guides and beings on other planes of existence. This information takesyou into the 33-Gate matrix and lets you know how the individual translates information

    from instinctive survival levels of their being into higher understanding throughcognition. Someone with both the Sacral Center and the Ajna Center defined are designed

    to be the alchemists of information for the collective.

    Look also at the Incarnation Crosses for the Sun and Earth in the Solar degree charts andfor the Moon in the Lunar degree charts. Read these four Incarnation Crosses and look at

    all gates related to them in the design. Also, look at all variants of these Crosses to findgates that relate to them so you can read nuances of energy.

    By using these simple steps in a structured systematic way, you can glean a great deal of

    insight and knowledge about how a person functions; in addition, you can see what theycame in to accomplish as their life purpose in this Incarnation.

    Leave the 25-Gate matrix alone for the time being. It is far from documented in clinical

    and biological verification. Use it only as a peripheral guide in terms of how it functions.For example, if someone always has the Solar Plexus Center defined to the Heart Center,

    you might address digestive issues with that person. But, this material if far moreadvanced than can be described in this brief paper.

    Draw on your knowledge from your own experiences of the layers described in this

    paper. Use your knowledge from the symbolic images the multiple Body Graphs present

    to your consciousness. Design is a tool that uses archetypes of the collectiveconsciousness of our being and provides the mind with a way to grasp the elusive aspectsof functional consciousness. To attempt to formulize or to categorize people takes the

    unique power of this tool and brings it into a limited perspective. Each person is uniquein the Multidimensional Human Design System and by looking at the internal patterns of

    each persons functional psyche; one has a true psycho-physiological fingerprint of thatperson.

    Conclusion

    The Multidimensional Human Design System emerged out of research aimed atvalidating the Basic Human and Mammalian Design Systems. As in any early scientific

    field, the material presented to date is hypothetical although much of it has soundstatistical validity and reliability as well as clinical documentation. The theoretical basis

    of the Multidimensional Human Design System spans psychological, physiological,esoteric, and philosophical fields as they integrate in a structural model; this model seems

    to hold substantially up through 6 years of clinical experience and testing. This field isnew with only a handful of individuals embracing and using it extensively. As other

    individuals and professionals open to the power of this tool, it can grow and expand inways we cannot even comprehend at this point in time. The Multidimensional Human

    Design System formulates a model of personality theory whose breadth and depth gobeyond any one discipline. In addition, it seems to hold up to biological as well as to

    psychological scrutiny.

    As humanity increasingly functions in one world with one consciousness, it is essentialthat we develop tools that move beyond cultural limitations to embrace our Divine Self.

    Only when the truly empowered Self moves each individual can inner and outer harmonyprevail.

    Glossary of Jungian Terms

    Anima and Animus

    The personification of the feminine nature of a mans unconscious and the masculinenature of a womans unconscious. Anima and animus generally manifest in personified

    form as figures in dreams and fantasies, in the irrationalities of a mansfeelingand a

    womans thinking. They are two of the most influential regulators of behavior.

    Every man carries within him the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that

    particular woman, but a definitive feminine image. This image is fundamentallyunconscious, an hereditary factor of primordial origin engraved in the living organic

    system of the man, an imprint or archetype of all the ancestral experiences of thefemale, a deposit, as it were of all the impressions ever made by woman Since this

    image is unconscious, it is always unconsciously projected upon the person of thebeloved, and is one of the chief reasons for passionate attraction or aversion. (The

    Development of Personality, CW 17, p. 198)

    In its primary unconscious form the animus is a compound of spontaneous,unpremeditated opinions which exercise a powerful influence on the womans emotional

    life, while the anima is similarly compounded of feelings which thereafter influence ordistort the mans understanding (she has turned his head). Consequently the animus

    likes to project itself upon intellectuals and all kinds of heroes, including tenors,artists, sporting celebrities, etc. The anima has a predilection for everything that is

    unconscious, dark, equivocal, and unrelated in woman, and also for her vanity, frigidity,helplessness, and so forth. (The Practice of Psychotherapy, CW 16, par. 521)

    The natural function of the animus (as well as of the anima) is to remain in [their] place

    between individual consciousness and the collective unconscious [q.v.]; exactly as thepersona [q.v.] is a sort of stratum between the ego-consciousness and the objects of the

    external world. The animus and the anima should function as a bridge, or a door, leadingto the images of the collective unconscious, as the persona should be a sort of bridge into

    the world. (Unpublished Seminar Notes. Visions I, p. 116)

    Archetype

    The concept of the archetype is derived from the repeated observation that, for

    instance, the myths and fairytales of world literature contain definite motifs which cropup everywhere. We meet these same motifs in the fantasies, dreams, deliria, and

    delusions of individuals living today. These typical images and associations are what Icall archetypal ideas. The more vivid they are, the more they will be coloured by

    particularly strong feeling-tones They impress, influence, and fascinate us. They havetheir origin in the archetype, which in itself is an irrepresentable, unconscious, pre-

    existant form that seems to be part of the inherited structure of the psyche and cantherefore manifest itself spontaneously anywhere, at any time. Because of its instinctual

    nature, the archetype underlies the feeling-toned complexes [q.v.] and shares theirautonomy. (Civilization in Transition, CW 10, par 847)

    Again and again I encounter the mistaken notion that an archetype isdetermined in regard to its content, in other words that it is a kind of

    unconscious idea (if such an expression be admissible). It is necessary topoint out once more that archetypes are not determined as regards their

    content, but only as regards their form and then only to a very limited

    degree. A primordial image [q.v.] is determined as to its content onlywhen it has become conscious and is therefore filled out with the materialof conscious experience. Its form, however, might perhaps be

    compared to the axial system of a crystal, which, as it were, performs thecrystalline structure in the mother liquid, although it has no material

    existence of its own. This first appears according to a specific way inwhich the ions and molecules aggregate. The archetype in itself is empty

    and purely formal, nothing but afacultas praeformandi, a possibility ofrepresentation which is given a priori.The representations themselves are

    not inherited, only the forms, and in that respect they correspond in everyway to the instincts, which are also determined in form only. The

    existence of the instincts can no more be proved than the existence of thearchetypes, so long as they do not manifest themselves concretely. (The

    Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, CW 9, I, pp. 79f.)

    it seems to me probable that the real nature of the archetype is not capable of beingmade conscious, that it is transcendent, on which account I call it psychoid [q.v.] (The

    Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche, CW 8, p. 213)

    Consciousness

    When one reflects upon what consciousness really is, one is profoundly impressed by

    the extreme wonder of the fact that an event which takes place outside in the cosmossimultaneously produces an internal image, that it takes place, so to speak, inside as well,

    which is to say: becomes conscious. (Basel Seminar, Privately printed, 1934, p. 1).

    For indeed our consciousness does not create itself it wells up from unknown depths.In childhood it awakens gradually, and all through life it wakes each morning out of the

    depths of sleep from an unconscious condition. It is like a child that is born daily out ofthe primordial womb of the unconscious. (Psychology and Religion: West and East, CW

    11, pp. 569 f.)

    Mandala

    Mandala means a circle, more especially a magic circle, and this form of symbol is not

    only to be found all through the East, but also among us; mandalas are amply representedin the Middle Ages. The specifically Christian ones come from the earlier Middle Ages.

    Most of them show Christ in the centre, with the four evangelists, or their symbols, at thecardinal points. This conception must be a very ancient one because Horus was

    represented with his four sons in the same way by the Egyptians For the most part themandala form is that of a flower, cross, or wheel, with a distinct tendency toward four as

    the basis of the structure. (Commentary to Secret of the Golden Flower, CW 13, par. 31,mod.)

    Mandalasusually appear in situations of psychic confusion and perplexity. Thearchetype thereby constellated represents a pattern of order which, like a psychological

    view-finder marked with a cross or circle divided into four, is superimposed on thepsychic chaos so that each content falls into place and the weltering confusion is held

    together by the protective circleAt the same time they areyantras, instruments with

    whose help the order is brought into being. (Civilization in Transition, CW 10, par 803).

    Psychoid

    Soul-like or quasi-psychic the collective unconscious represents a psyche that cannot be directly

    perceived or represented, in contrast to the perceptible psychic phenomena,, and onaccount of its irrepresentable nature I have called it pscyhoid. (The Structure and

    Dynamics of the Psyche, CW 8, p. 436)
