The overriding goal of Human Design is to help you accept the fact of your uniqueness as your greatest gift. Even the smallest insect takes its rightful place in this world. Without it, the universe would be poorer. So should you imitate someone who is supposedly more successful or happier than you? After all, you have no idea how this or that person feels. And even the richest people get depressed – so where does happiness really lie? Obviously not in the money.
True happiness can only be available to someone who is reconciled with his own nature and acts in life only as he wants himself taking responsibility for his actions. Happiness does not need a reason, it is only a consequence of the world within the human self.
It’s time to talk about the third most important concept in Human Design. After you have learned about your genetic Type, learned about the mechanics of your Strategy and Authority (they are considered a single tool), it’s time to move on to the Profile. The profile is a role that you have been programmed for from birth. It includes your personality traits, habits, preferred “style” of life. Also, the Profile contains a predisposition to certain types of insecurities, vulnerabilities and weaknesses that are specific only to you.
Breaking down of Profiles is one of the tools of the Universe that provides the variability of human potential. Each of us must carry our cross in our intended role. This is our mission. And if the restless Mind did not interfere in the process of life, then each person could really be himself without worrying about someone else’s opinion. But alas our century is the century of the False Self, in which we have lost touch with our nature, forced to chase the ideals imposed by society.
In this article, we will briefly talk with you about why you need to know your Profile, what advantages this knowledge will give, what Profiles are made of, and what are they.
How often have you done things you later regretted? You looked back into the past, trying to understand why you did this way and not otherwise. An internal conflict arose, separating your present self from the self of the past, creating a contradiction. It turns out that today’s “YOU” may not want what past “YOU” created. Two personalities for one body – here and not far from madness, not so much stress.
The reason for such internal disagreements is poor self-awareness. You just do not really know who you really are and what to expect from yourself, you do not take into account the program/consciousness of your body, the wisdom of which is difficult to overestimate. Nobody has ever taught you how to be yourself. You cannot learn this by reading books or listening to lectures. It is personal knowledge to be lived with, to experiment with. That is why it is so important to know your Profile – you will get a basic idea of your own personality, you will understand better the motives of many of your actions much better. After all often the person we are used to considering ourselves is just a play of our own imagination, an “image” built by the Mind, which can be very far from reality.
The profile is a role that will play out in your life, whether you want it or not. The only question is whether its manifestation will conflict with your self-perception. But in fact, the question is irrelevant here. The false always contradicts the True – these are two sides of the same coin. Only by accepting your role-Profile, you can get rid of the illusion imposed by the Mind about the right life, starting to live without internal contradictions.
The Profile is a combination of two Lines, conscious and subconscious, located in the Sun of the Personality and the Sun of Design. In the Bodygraph, they are indicated on the sides in the upper columns. First there is the Gate number, and after the point – the Line number itself. For example:
Here we see the numbers 12.5 top-rightеру, which means the manifestation of Line 5 from the side of Mind/consciousness.
On the other hand, there are numbers 25.1 top-left, which means the manifestation of Line 1 from the side of the body/subconsciousness.
The numbers 12 and 25 are also very important – this 70% answers the question in what capacity your personality should be expressed. However we do not need to designate the Gate in the context of studying the basics of the Profile. Subsequently, if you are interested, then you can find out detailed information about the Gate from other articles on the site. Now let’s go back to the Profile.
Using this Bodygraph as an example, we have a person with the Profile 5/1 – the Heretic Explorer. We’ll talk about what this means a little later. It is important to learn that first there is a number on the right – that is, the Line of Consciousness-Mind, and only then the Line of the body-subconsciousness. As in the rest of the teaching on Human Design, the principle of duality is traced here. A profile is a combination of conscious and unconscious characteristics that appear simultaneously.
This implies some inconsistency in the nature of some Profiles. Ultimately, there is nothing unambiguous in our world. It is also important to understand that one and the same Line may manifest itself both consciously and unconsciously (in people with different Profiles). That is, one and the same characteristic for some people will be part of the conscious activity of the Mind, while for others it will be expressed unconsciously.
For example, there is Line 2 called the Hermit Line. Its owner needs the possibility of a secluded pastime, when he could do what he loves. If he is on the side of conscious Mind, then such a person is quite capable of understanding his need for loneliness and will consciously strive for this. On the other hand, if Line 2 is on the side of the subconscious body, then its owner may not even understand why he feels out of place with other people and tends to be alone.
Now let’s take a closer look at the features of each Line. There are six of them – each of them has its own name and is completely different from the others.
Line 1 – Researcher – introduces into the character the quality of “useful” fear, used as a powerful motivation. Driven by fear, a person with Line 1 seeks to deeply study the issue of interest to get rid of uncertainty;
Line 2 – Hermit – determines the need of its owner for periods of solitude, when no one and nothing bothers him. This time is used for the realization of creative potential – in solitude, people with this Line “blossom”, expressing themselves through any activity;
Line 3 – Martyr – is expressed in a predisposition to constant mistakes in life, which, nevertheless, are needed to gain rich experience. Constantly trying and failing, people with this Line become a real treasure of life wisdom – not theoretical but practical, based on their own experiments;
4 Line – Opportunist – provides the owner with unsurpassed charisma, with the help of which he acquires useful acquaintances. The success of people with Line 4 is directly related to those who are included in their social circle – the more connections, the more chances of finding prosperity in life;
Line 5 – Heretic – brings into the personality a certain aura of authority, from which something is always expected. Other projections are always superimposed on people with Line 5. In the eyes of others, the owners of Line 5 always seem to be someone who knows and can do more than anyone else. Therefore, the owners of Line 4 begin to believe in this “super-giftedness” themselves and the more people are involved in such a “collective prejudice”, the stronger the illusion the closer it is to reality;
6 Line – Role model – the quality of this Line is expressed in the fact that its owner has a very slowly developing potential. Until about 30 years old, he lives the Line 3 program, getting hard knocks and gaining experience. And as he develops as a person, he gradually comprehends the secrets of being, becoming what may be called an enlightened one. Other people feel this quality in the owners of Line 6 and therefore see them as an example to follow.
The name of the Profiles consists of the names of the Lines that are included in it. There are 12 Profiles in total, 12 combinations of Lines of the lower and upper trigram. To make it clearer: Lines from the first to the third make up the lower trigram, their distinctive feature is introversion – that is, the influence on the inner world of their owner.
Lines from the fourth to the sixth are included in the upper trigram and have an extraversion property. They bring qualities and characteristics into the Profile of a person tuned in to work with others.
Be that as it may, each person has both a “personal” quality of the lower trigram, and a “public” quality due to the presence of the Line of the upper trigram. Therefore, you cannot call someone a strong hermit or, on the contrary, incapable of being alone.
