Transmission to Type

Did you know that before there was Human Design Type, Ra created a concept called Mode? And that he didn’t introduce the four Types — Reflector, Projector, Generator, and Manifestor — until roughly ten years after he had his experience with the Voice? Did you know that each of the four Aura Types has its essence in one of the four I Ching bigrams?

I didn’t know these things at first, but when I discovered them, it deeply changed the way I interacted with the Human Design System. Since early in my journey, I’ve been searching for quotes from Ra’s lectures and books that reveal pieces and details about how the Human Design Transmission became the Human Design System. 

The quotes and commentaries I share here are snapshots of turning points in my journey, marking events that irrevocably changed my understanding of the Human Design System and its purpose. As a collection, they also tell the story of how the four Types became the face of Human Design and invite you to reconsider what you think you know about the system.
