Introduction to Human Design
In This Lesson
In Human Design, the Not-Self (also known as the Shadow) reflects the life lived through conditioning, the subtle ways we move from our openness to the pressure, expectation, or the need to prove, rather than from truth. The mind attempts to run what only the body knows.
The Not-Self expresses itself through the Undefined Centres, or our openness, where we absorb and amplify the world around us. Recognising these patterns is not about fault; it is about refinement, learning to discern what is truly yours.
Through awareness and correct decision-making, the Not-Self begins to quiet, and the natural intelligence of your Design takes its rightful place.
