03. Main Human Design Concepts & Lingo

In this episode, Kelsey unpacks some of the core principles, concepts, and language of Human Design. From the fundamental idea of differentiation vs. homogenization to the mechanics of type, strategy, and authority, this conversation serves as a foundational orientation into the terrain we’ll continue to explore.

This episode isn’t just about learning new terminology. Entering the Human Design experiment is about beginning to view your life, body, and choices through a radically different lens. Human Design isn’t asking you to believe anything; it’s offering you a map to experiment with. What you do with it is entirely up to you.

What's discussed in this episode:

• The core binaries of Human Design: self vs not-self, defined vs undefined, conscious vs unconscious
• How HD challenges binary thinking and moral judgment
• Why HD is centered on differentiation, not standardization
• The shift from 7-centered to 9-centered beings after 1781
• Free will, fate, and the mechanics of surrender
• The experiment of Human Design and why no two people are watching the same movie
• The energetic “aura” types and how they shape our life strategies and themes
• A high-level introduction to Profile: your conscious and unconscious roles in this life
• Conditioning vs deconditioning: how we lose ourselves and how we begin to return
