There are two experiences from my past that triggered a deeply profound response when I saw my first bodygraph:
In early January 1987 (same timing as Ra's Encounter) after a couple of days of partying with my college roommate and her sister, I was laying in bed talking to God. I was asking to be taken back into the unmanifest, feeling completely lost and depressed. Suddenly, I saw a blurry image of a humanoid being in an emerald green light wearing a long robe or gown with its arms outstretched. My body was paralyzed, and a green laser beam emitted from the being and entered my forehead. The beam went through my body, down the right side, up the left side and returned to the origin. During this process, I noticed another being sitting in the chair next to my bed ... it was hairy and had a snout with tusks. I was terrified and peaceful at the same time. I have no idea how long this second being observed or how long the green light circulated through my body. The next thing I remember is waking up to my roommate's sister burning a piece of cork and using the burnt cork to draw a face ... close-up of the right eye ... on the wall across from my bed about 4 feet square. The only action I took as a result of this experience is that I went to the school psychologist to see if I was going crazy. After lots of tests, I was told that I wasn't any more crazy than anyone else living a normal life.
Six years and a few months later (Spring of 1993), I was in a yoga class. It was the sixth of seven classes working on the chakras. After the yoga part of the class, we arranged ourselves in a circle with our heads at the center. The instructor guided us into conscious, deep breathing. Soon, I felt as though I was in my mother's womb and then I had no body. I was in a pink and gold place with no body. I felt like I was everywhere and nowhere all at once, pure energy. My body started laughing hysterically, uncontrollably, but it did not feel like it was me ... it was just an observation. Then something strange happened. All sorts of mathematical formulas passed through my awareness and seemed to be spiraling a vaugue image of a human body (head to torso). The formulas were complex math containing Laplace transforms and described particles in a fluid stream passing through a very small opening ... only big enough for one particle at a time to pass. I became aware of my classmates standing around me, and slowly I returned to feeling in my body. I asked for pen and paper, so that I could write the formulas I was seeing. As soon as I touched pen to paper, the only thing I could draw was the image of a head facing to the left with a funnel/triangular shape on the head.
Fast forward to January 2007, I am talking with a friend. I don't recall the words, but my friend said I sounded like I was talking about Human Design. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" I googled HD, and saw that first bodygraph. I screamed and cried. I didn't know what was happening, but I knew at the core of my being that HD was related to my purpose for being. I have been immersed in HD education and experimenting my Strategy & Authority since then. I don't know what my contributions will be, but I know HD has brought me to a place of peace and satisfaction that I never imagined possible for myself. I still have a long way to go to complete my first seven year deconditioning process, but there have been so many signposts that I am exactly where and when I need to be that I know HD will be in my life as long as I am breathing.
