Individual human rights are fundamental to creating a just and inclusive society. These rights, which are inherent to every person, ensure that individuals are treated with dignity, equality, and respect. Understanding the significance of individual human rights is essential for promoting social justice and creating a world where everyone can thrive. In this article, I will delve into the importance of these rights from a Human Design perspective. Most likely a different perspective to what you think.

Individual Human Rights

When talking about Human Rights most likely you immediately think of the Social Human Rights which include e.g. the right to life, liberty, and security of person, freedom of thought, expression, and religion, the right to a fair trial, and many others. They are universal and inalienable, meaning they cannot be taken away or denied. Individual human rights serve as a foundation for a just and inclusive society, ensuring that every person is treated with dignity and equality.

The revolution of Human Design is the introduction of individual Authority. That is, individual human rights. Here, I’m not talking about social human rights. I’m talking about individual human rights. The individual human right is to be your own authority in your life. Everyone has the capacity to be able to be in charge of their lives and to make decisions that are just right for them individually.

Before I come back to the individual and what the fundamental concept of “individual authority” means I want to explain the unique aura of a human being.

Aura and Uniqueness

You might believe in it or not: all human beings – as animals, plants and so on – have an energetic field they carry and expose to others – their aura. The Aura is an electromagnetic frequency that emanates from us – it is a scientifically proven part of us. We all live in a world of frequency. It represents the pulse of life – everything has a frequency. And each Aura has a very unique and distinctive frequency. The sum total of our individual Design as a human being can be found in our Aura.

Our Aura field is beaming out all around us, double the length of each arm in average size. These Auras penetrate walls, ceilings and floors. You can easily demonstrate Aura for yourself by putting your hand very close to someone else’s hand – most people can feel the frequency – or by standing a distance away from someone and start walking towards the person standing still. You will notice a movement in the body of the person standing still as you approach their aura.

As described, each of us has a unique Aura and we are always unconsciously broadcasting who we are non-verbally. Studies have revealed that 93% of all daily communication is non-verbal. We think of non-verbal communication as our body language and vocal tone – but it goes beyond that. It is our non-verbal frequency (our aura) that deeply affects how we communicate with others. The extent in which we are aligned and operating according to our Unique Design determines the clarity of our communication both personally and professionally. And the clarity of our communication shapes the way we see and experience our world. Ease and flow in communication comes when we are operating in alignment with our design.

Aura “Merging”

When individuals gather together their frequencies connect, merge, penetrate each other (in a partnership, team or larger group context). This is a “mechanical” process, a frequency connection. I will focus here on a partnership connection where 2 individuals get into the aura of each other. In such a connection you have Electromagnetics, Dominance, Companionship or Compromise.

Electromagnetics

Talking about Electromagnetics in a Human Design connection chart you have one person who has a gate at one end of the channel (e.g. 2, blue) and you have another person who has a gate at the other end of the channel (e.g. 14, green). The moment we have that, there is mutual conditioning. The hanging gate – with the person being alone – is simply a receptor to being conditioned by the other. Every time you look at your design, look at those hanging gates because those hanging gates are invitations to be conditioned. The moment you have such a hanging gate, and all of a sudden, you meet the other in that channel, there is a fundamental dynamic at work: the opposites attracting. So, an Electromagnetic is something that is a spark, but it’s not the thing that is going to make a relationship work.

Dominance

 Dominance is when one person in a relationship has the full channel defined (e.g. here the 15-5 in blue). Dominance is interesting because it is something that totally comes from one person. In other words, you are the one having it or the other person. So, here you are: either you bring the definition in their life or they bring this definition into your life. The fascinating about it: it can give you a glimpse of the other.

Companionship

 Companionship is sharing a definition with the other person. Both people in the relationship have the channel defined (e.g. here the 17-62, blue and green stripes).

Compromise

Compromise is something that is an incredible challenge. A compromise is where one person has the whole channel defined and the other person only one trait (e.g. the person in green has 52-9 and the person in blue has “only” 52). Obviously, what we’re dealing with is a partner who has the whole channel defined and the other partner has part of that channel defined. Unfortunately, by the laws of mechanics, the one who defines the channel rules.

Now what does all of that have to do with an individua land the individual human rights?

Living correctly as Oneself – the individual human right

Everything about this knowledge is that the characteristics within the combined auric configuration are things that are locks. They’re not going to change. They’re going to operate that way any time those two auras or more auras come together because that’s simply the mechanics.

So you have to see that the approach to that connection is what will make the difference. It’s really about seeing the same person you’ve been dealing with for years, that the two of you in operating correctly and beginning the experiment of operating correctly as yourself, you will see each other in a way and be able to see a relationship in a way that you’ve never seen it before. And yet, it’s the same thing. It’s the way it’s perceived. It’s the way you enter into it. It’s the way in which you communicate within it, but all of it is going back to you.

The introspective of who you are, the real insight of who you are, the strengths and potential you carry in you, the shadows that you have in you, your correct decision-making strategy, the way you assimilate information, what you bring to the world, …

All of that is what makes you unique.

These are the fundamental individual human rights: YOUR human rights, to live authentically as who you really are.

Awareness of all your individual and unique facets – the good, the bad, the ugly. All of this makes you.

Ask yourself the question: do I want to live my life or do I want to live the life the “others” expect from me or for me? Aren’t you brought into this world to live your life?

The more you know what is right for you, the more you truly are and behave as YOU, the more correct the information you expose to others – your Aura – will become.

And the process starts with YOU. Do not let anyone else decide for your life. It is your life, not the one of your partner, family members, colleagues, bosses, companies and so on.

YOUR LIFE – YOUR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

And please don’t get me wrong: this is not an invitation to be just selfish and egoistic and do harm to other people.

There are lots and lots of different ways to “find YOURSELF”. There are lots of methods and tools, lots of very good coaches to guide and assist you in your own unique process.

It is a process. It will take time. It is sometimes painful, sometimes joyful. It has obstacles and barriers, you will meet new people and let go of “old friends”.

You might have realized for yourself already that we are in a time of transformation. The world is changing. There is a lot of fear and anxiety that is out there. And there might be this thought in you “What should I as an individual person do? I can’t change anything.”

YOU can change yourself. You can become you. This is what you can do.

I am in the process of my own change, my own transformation. I have discovered Human Design for myself. A “tool” that helps me identifying my uniqueness, that helps me discovering my complexity in my uniqueness. My uniqueness as a human being, my uniqueness in relation to my family, friends, colleagues, business partner(s) and clients.

It helped me to understand and feel that the mind is not the decision-making authority, my body intelligence is the authority. This is my way to find and live my individual rights.

I observe myself in this process and in my daily life: what are the triggers I get from my family members, friends, colleagues. And I observe that these triggers start in me and I am asking myself why they trigger me. Do I feel a “gut response” that I just do not want to do something, but it is expected that I do it? These are indicators that I am doing something against my own body intelligence. This communication starts from me, the clearer I am with myself the clearer my communication with other people will be.

I would like to point you to my article on the Awareness Centers and the embedded fears and close with a quote from Ra Uru Hu.

If you allow someone to be who they are and they allow you to be who you are, then that’s love. Anything else is torture.
