Preface
The development of the Multidimensional Human Design System MHDS) marks a
turning point in the integrative synthesis of psychology, astrology, esoteric theory, and
science. As far as I know, MHDS is the first theory that maps out the integration of
personality through states of consciousness; it combines practical, scientific, and esoteric
thought into a unified whole. MHDS bridges many interdisciplinary fields in a wellgrounded way. During the years that I have worked with this material, it has continued to
evolve as new information validates its components and furthers its capacity to explain
behavior in terms of functional consciousness throughout the 24-hour day.
MHDS works with the whole person, i.e., it explains how auric energy fields feed the
waking personality. Other theories of personality lack the degree of specificity in how the
layers of a person function mechanically in the person. MHDS supplies a mechanical
model through which one can study the pattern of energy flow in each auric field of a
person in order to understand the functional dynamic active in the person.
As a tool, MHDS is invaluable to the clinician as well as to the lay person since it serves
as a model of understanding behavior and empowering each individual with his/her own
unique way of being, but it is also easily understood, non verbally, through its symbolic
graphics.

Forward
Many years ago, I read the Emerald Tablet by Hermes. Although it fascinated me, I did
not fully comprehend its meaning. As I work with the MHDS, I understand this document
and its full importance. Before you read this paper, please take a few moments to read the
Emerald Tablet, letting it move within you without attempting to understand or analyze
it. The MHDS follows the model described by Hermes in his Emerald Tablet. The more
you grasp of the mechanics of the worlds and their operation, the more understanding you
can have of the totality in which you operate.
When you finish this MHDS paper, read The Emerald Tablet again. Note any changes in
your comprehension and allow the information to move within you without attempting to
force any analysis. You may experience something very deep and very profound in
yourself.
The Emerald Tablet of Hermes
True, without falsehood, certain and most true, that which is above
is as that which is below, and that which is below is as that which is
above, for the performance of the miracles of the One Thing. And as all
things are from One, by the mediation of One, so all things have their birth
from this One Thing by adaptation. The Sun is its father, the Moon its
mother, the Wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the Earth. This is the
father of all perfection, or consummation of the whole world. Its power is
integrating, if it be turned into earth.
Thou shalt separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the
gross, suavely, and with great ingenuity. It ascends from earth to heaven
and descends again to earth, and receives the power of the superiors and of
the inferiors. So thou hast the glory of the whole world; therefore let all
obscurity flee before thee. This is the strong force of all forces,
overcoming every subtle and penetrating every solid thing. So the world
was created. Hence were all wonderful adaptations, of which this is the
manner. Therefore am I called Hermes Trismegistus, having the three
parts of the philosophy of the whole world. What I have to tell is
completed, concerning the Operation of the Sun.

Introduction
Throughout history humans have sought to understand and grasp their true nature; in this
process they look beyond ordinary reality since all of consciousness cannot be explained
by our interactions in the conscious world. There have always been individuals who
claim extraordinary experiences that stimulate others to question the actual boundaries of
reality.
In esoteric literature, it is generally thought that our physical existence is only a small
part of our nature and that our essence exists on “higher planes” of existence. In the
words of Ann Davies:
For purposes of developing keener self-conscious awareness
during an incarnation, we are concentrated down to a conscious knowledge
of physical phenomena only most of the time. But, as aspects of the One
Ego, we live also on higher planes. When we have become proficient in
opening our consciousness to more subtle levels, we will become aware of
these higher dwelling places of our soul. We will know also that all
personalities dwell on all planes. It is becoming conscious of it that gives
superphysical powers. We will also find that to ascend in consciousness
does not cut us off from participation in the physical world. All our work is
aimed at helping us to live in such a way that we can enter into these higher
levels of existence while still incarnate on the physical plane. This is the
essence of Qabalistic and Hermetic doctrine (Builders of the Adytum,
Lesson 29, The Oracle of Tarot, p. 2).
In the Multidimensional Human Design System, each of the Matrices shows a level of
cosmic energies streaming into the physical plane. In esoteric theory relating to the Tree
of Life, there are four worlds: the Atziluth world relates to the element of Fire, spiritual
life, to the beginning of things or to the root matter; the Briatic World relates to the
element Water, to the creative realm, to desires, wishes and to the formation of plans and
ideas; the Yetzirah World relates to the element Air, to the process and force behind the
veil of physical things; the Assiah World relates to the element Earth, to the material
world of physical senses and to practical life.
In the Multidimensional Human Design Matrices, the Basic Body Graph Design of 64Gates serves as the integrative Matrix for all of the Worlds. Each calculation in the 64Gate Matrix represents the unifying vehicle for one of the worlds; it is through the
integration of the Matrices as a functioning whole that the individual finds the capacity to
move beyond ordinary reality and to recognize the mechanical aspects through which
self-conscious awareness may be achieved. The Multidimensional Human Design System
serves as a model of personality theory pinpointing the mechanical functioning of all
layers of a person’s psyche as it shifts in consciousness through the 24-hour day. In
addition, the calculations of the Multidimensional Human Design System span the critical
6-month period of a baby’s psychological development during which time the physical
cognitive perceptual structures develop allowing the individual to interact in/with the
physical world.

How the Conditioning Field Works
Beginning with the activation of the Prenatal Sun 88 degrees prior to birth, the fetus is
exposed to a psychological conditioning field that impacts it through the incoming
neutrino field as affected by the transiting planets. The process that begins at 88 Solar
degrees prior to birth continues every minute of every day as a moving stream of
neutrinos impacts the organism at all layers of its being. Some planetary positions, i.e.,
those of the transpersonal planets, move very slowly making their effect collective and
generational; other planetary positions, i.e., those of the personal planets, move quickly
leaving an effect in combination and nuance that is unique to each individual. By the time
the baby is born, the Sun has moved through almost a quarter of the zodiac wheel or
through 16 Gates. From birth through the Postnatal calculation (88 Solar degrees after
birth), the neonate experiences another quarter of the zodiac wheel or another 16 Gates of
energy conditioning from the personal planetary Sun. The Sun has thus moved through
176 degrees of arc in the Zodiac wheel.
Since, in Design, the Incarnation Cross, or the opposition of the position of the
prenatal/natal and natal/postnatal Sun and Earth, is important in conditioning the
individual, it is important to recognize that the Earth during this critical 6-month period
also moves 176 degrees of arc in the zodiac wheel. Thus, within the 176 degrees of arc
considered in the Design calculation arc, the zodiac wheel serves to condition the infant
through 352 degrees of the zodiac wheel. This arc programs into each individual the
macrocosm of the universe as they integrate it within their own microcosmic perspective.
Once this concept is understood (cf. Illustration of the Path of Planets, page 7) the
dynamic way in which the other matrices integrate into the individual psyche become
easier to comprehend.
In order to clearly understand this concept, look at the Illustrations of Eleanor’s
Prenatal/Natal and Natal/Postnatal Solar Charts with special focus on the Sun (a) and
Earth (z) positions.

The Human Mandala showing Path of Planets in Eleanor’s Multidimensional
Charts For Prenatal, Natal, Postnatal Period
(64 Gate Matrix)
Notice that Eleanor’s prenatal Sun begins in the Zodiac Wheel in Virgo, in the
Astrological sixth house, corresponding to Gate 47 Line 5 in the I-Ching Hexagrams. It
proceeds to the natal Sun position in the Zodiac Wheel in Sagittarius, in the astrological
ninth house, corresponding to Gate 26 Line 3 in the I-Ching Hexagrams. It continues
postnatally to Pisces in the Zodiac Wheel, the twelfth house, corresponding to Gate 22
Line 1 in the I-Ching Hexagrams. Correspondingly, the Earth position moves from its
Prenatal position in Pisces, Gate 22 Line 5 to its Gemini astrological position at birth in
the third house, Gate 45 Line 3; it finishes postnatally in Virgo in the sixth house in Gate
47 Line 1.

Follow these planetary positions in the Body Graph illustrations (page 6) and then look to
the Planetary Path Illustration (page 7) in order to visualize exactly how much of the
Zodiac wheel is imprinted as a conditioning field into the individual. This Solar
conditioning field always traverses through the same number of degrees around the wheel
although the signs and Gates change for each person.
The 64-Gate Solar Human Design Body Graph, familiar to many people, represents only
a moment in time, the birth moment, which we all know is a very critical point in
everyone’s life. This moment imprints the individual more strongly than many other
moments because of the increased effects of the planetary fields with birth, and because
birth is the most important event since it begins a person’s conscious life. However, think
back to other defining moments in your life. Think of your first day at school, graduation
from high school or college, the day you got married, the day you had a baby, the death
of a loved one, a car accident, a significant world event such as the crash into the World
Trade Center; any of these events remain vivid in memory because they served as a
defining moment in your life. Astrologers often look for defining dates in order to study
the “aspects” that affected the individual at that time. Usually, such events show up in a
person’s astrological chart. In a similar vein, there are three defining times prenatally and
postnatally for everyone; these indicate critical times for the other auric bodies that
integrate us with the other worlds of our consciousness. [Critical times or periods are
defined in the psychological and physiological literature as periods of time that serve as a
window of opportunity, some narrow, some wide during which experiences fatefully and
permanently shape the development of the individual. These periods occur beginning
with conception and continue at specific times throughout childhood, and, perhaps even
into adulthood.] All of the times used in the Multidimensional charts are calculated based
on an arc of 88 zodiac degrees or minutes; they are calculated based on the degrees of arc
of the Sun or of the Moon as well as on 88 minutes of arc, again, of the Sun or of the
Moon.
[For those inexperienced astrologically, time in astrology is expressed in degrees,
minutes, and seconds. For example, each 60° equals 59°59’60”, i.e., sixty degrees equals
fifty-nine degrees, 59 minutes, and 60 seconds.]
The Multidimensional Design Calculation Layers
Before moving into more depth relating the different worlds in which we function in
different matrices, it is important to understand the calculations and the planetary path
made as a conditioning field for each of the auric bodies that integrate each of the worlds
in our consciousness. The Multidimensional Human Design System illustrates the
prenatal, natal, and postnatal conditioning points for the Mental, Spiritual, Emotional, and
Physical Worlds in which we live. The Solar 64-Gate Body Graph shows the Mental
Body, i.e., the way we relate primarily when we are in our waking consciousness and
when we are interacting with other people or interacting in the material physical plane of
existence. The Lunar 64-Gate Body Graph maps our Spiritual Body as well as illustrating
the Unifying Integrating Field in which we operate during dreaming or Rapid Eye
Movement (REM) sleep; it is at this time during the 24-hour day when we integrate

information between the worlds. This Lunar Body Graph is calculated using the degrees
of the Moon rather than of the degrees of the Sun. The 64-Gate Solar Minute Body Graph
shows the Emotional Body or the way we relate specifically as an emotional being with
others; this Body Graph is calculated using 88 solar minutes rather than degrees of the
Sun. The 64-Gate Lunar Minute Body shows the hormonal/physical body timer. It times
the Dream or REM cycle for an individual and times the release of various hormones that
interface with the biological matrix regulating our bodily functions. As you can see, the
64-Gate matrices are the integrative ones in our daily life. However, these 64-Gate
matrices tell only a partial story.
Before amplifying the functions of the different calculations in the different worlds, it is
important to look at the arc that each of the calculations make in the Body Graph. Look at
the Lunar Body Graph illustrations of Eleanor’s Body Graph.
EHP Prenatal/Natal Lunar Body Graph
EHP Natal/Postnatal Lunar Body Graph
In the Lunar Body Graph, the timing of the conditioning field is different and much
shorter than it is for the Solar Body conditioning field. (Each planetary body takes a
different amount of time to make one rotation. The Earth rotates around the Sun about
one degree per day whereas the Moon rotates around the Earth about a degree per day.
This difference in rotational speed makes the same calculation shift the number of days
prenatally to postnatally). Follow the Lunar path in both the Charts and in the Planetary
Path (page 7) Illustration. Note that in Eleanor’s Body Graph, the Moon moves from a
prenatal position in Leo, the fifth house astrologically, Gate 31 Line 4 to its natal position
in Scorpio, the eighth house, Gate 28.2 to its postnatal position in Aquarius on the cusp of
the eleventh house, Gate 60 Line 6. Note that the Lunar conditioning field covers 32
gates of the wheel or 176 degrees of arc but because the Moon moves so much faster than
the Sun, it takes only 6 days for the Moon to move from its prenatal to its natal position
and another 6 days for the Moon to move from its natal to its postnatal position.

This Lunar timing corresponds to the last week of a woman’s pregnancy and to the first
week after a baby is born. Interestingly, in the Jewish religion it is said that the soul
enters the body and takes up its residence about a week after a baby is born; it is the
reason in the Jewish religion there is a ceremony performed at day 7 of a baby’s life and
not before on the physical body. Often, women experience a shift in their consciousness
about a week before their baby is born. In terms of working with this layer, it is important
to note the reversal of the red and black numbers on the Lunar layer; this reversal of color
represents that the Active field of consciousness in this realm is the unconscious and not
the consciously activated field. The Active field of consciousness in all Body Graph
charts is shown in Black; it shows the Gates to which we have easiest access in
consciousness.
The Solar Minute Calculation is a calculation done on the Sun but using the minutes of
arc rather than the degrees of arc in order to get a timeframe that corresponds to the
emotional body of the person. This calculation gives a span of about four days from the
prenatal to the postnatal conditioning, about the time it takes for an individual to go
through their emotional wave in the Solar Plexus Center. In this short time period, you
can see by looking at the Planetary Path illustration, that Eleanor’s Sun, using this
calculation, goes through only three lines in Sagittarius from Gate 26 Line 2 to Gate 26
Line 5 in this complete time frame. In terms of pregnancy and birth, this four-day period
corresponds to the time about two-days before birth when a woman’s body begins
releasing the hormones for the birth process and to the 48 hour period after birth when
colostrum is secreted by the breasts prior to milk beginning to flow. It is also the main
bonding time with a newborn on an instinctive physiological level for the mother and
child.
The Lunar Minute calculation corresponds to the Solar Minute calculation in terms of
using an 88-minute calculation but in this case using the degrees, minutes, and seconds of
the Moon rather than of the Sun’s position at birth. This layer of the Body Graph times
the dream cycle and also marks the time frame of the transition to the birth stage of Labor
in a normal delivery. It is the marker of the hormonal releasers that control body
functions in the biological matrix. It also corresponds to planetary hours and to the hours
used in Chinese Medicine.
The Solar World – The Mental World
The Solar timetable of conditioning corresponds in developmental psychological terms to
the critical period of the last trimester of pregnancy when the consciousness of the fetus
is viable in terms of survival. In addition, during the first three months of a baby’s life the
baby is considered a neonate meaning that the baby does have much capacity beyond the
instinctive reflex responses while developing perceptual and cognitive pathways related
to its environment. It is apparent, clinically as well as in terms of my work with 30,000
cases examined in terms of the Solar Body Graph, that this Solar matrix has only a
limited function in the psychological make-up of a human being. The Solar Body Graph
shows how we interact in the world and function in relationship to our environment. It
shows the mental body in the sense that it represents our conscious waking reality with
many functional layers beneath it.

In esoteric theory and practice, those who believe that the personality is the totality of the
person may fall short in recognizing that they are only a vehicle for a much more
pervasive consciousness that operates on many layers and in many worlds at the same
time. By seeing the Solar Body Graph as representative of only a part of the whole of
who we are, suddenly we can access the actual mechanics of how we function in terms of
our total being. The Solar world is a world of the world. It is the material plane in its
reality, and it is, by its very nature, an illusion; the Solar world is also very limiting in its
scope of existence. No world in and of itself is a complete picture.
The Lunar World – The Spiritual World
The Lunar world, the world of Spirit and of Dreams functions to integrate the unity of
consciousness with the whole. Because the Lunar world communicates during dreams
and on other dimensions of time and space, it is elusive. Also, because of the 6-day lag
time before the unconscious active field becomes conscious to our waking being, this
world tends to be hard to grasp for most people. However, in my own experiences
clinically on thousands of cases, this Lunar world seems to be the world many people feel
represents their soul connection; when read in conjunction with the Solar and other
worlds, it empowers individuals to stand up to be their true divine self.
The Lunar world is experienced only in Dreaming or symbolically. It is never directly
expressed since it comes through us in non-language ways; it is the world of symbols, of
art, of music, of intuition. When in the dream world we have a direct experience of other
dimensions all integrating in the 64-Gate Matrix and coming through in a way that
communicates with our soul and with our deepest nature that is Divine. When we attempt
to translate from this Lunar world into the Solar world there is never a perfect expression.
The Lunar world is translated into language through Gate 12. Gate 12 serves as a Portal
to the World of Earth. It is through this 12th Gate that we can put words to the symbols
and express things while we attempt to understand them in the reality plane in which we
live. Each Portal from each world interfaces with a world in a specific way and thus,
when looked at for its dynamic gives a very interesting and clear picture to the individual
of how information is transferred within their psyche.
Psychological theories of personality that discuss the conscious and the unconscious on a
personal level look at the personality modulated by the conscious mind and thus operate
only at the Solar layer of awareness. Freudian theory is an example of a theory trying to
understand the totality of personality through a Solar perspective. Even though Freud
postulated a superego, ego, and id, he also postulated that the ego mediates those
components of personality and that they operate through the waking world. In Freudian
terms, dreams are analyzed in terms of their personal symbolism bringing all worlds into
an egocentric model. This view, although very beneficial in the early days of the clinical
practice of psychology, has very definite limitations in its breadth of understanding. In
my view, Freud’s greatest gift was his recognition that the unconscious and dreams have
an important message to communicate and that paying attention to them can enhance
individual as well as group consciousness.

Jung took the Freudian view further. Jung postulated a collective unconscious as well as
existence of the archetypes of the anima and animus taking the individual into the Lunar
realm of the archetypal dimension (cf. Glossary for definition of terms). He tapped into
alchemy as well as to mystical dimensions, but because he lacked the constructs of the
other worlds and how they work, he was limited in the interpretations he made. He,
however, took a major step in comprehending that archetypes come from a universal
place and that these constructs are common to all cultures as symbols. He also tapped into
the recognition, with the ideas of the anima and animus, that there is a dynamic between
men and women and within them individually that attempts to integrate the male aspect
and female aspect (the Solar and Lunar designs in the 64-Gate Matrix). Quite a big step
was taken with Jung’s work in the early 1900’s, probably congruent with the initial
spotting of Chiron as a planetary body in 1897.
(For a further graphic of the different Solar and Lunar constructs in personality theory see
the Map of Consciousness posted on the Unified Life Sciences website:
www.unifiedlifesciencs.com).
Further Amplification of Solar and Lunar Concepts
In order to further understand why the Lunar calculation is so important, it is relevant to
digress for a moment to explain how the Lunar calculation becomes relevant for
consciousness in humans. In the initial information received about the field of Human
Design, it was revealed that when a human being sleeps, the operational matrix is a 15Gate Matrix rather than a 64-Gate Matrix. This Matrix is the operational Matrix of a
mammal. Of course, humans are mammals. In this 15-Gate Matrix, there is no Crown
Center, there is no Ajna Center, there is no Solar Plexus Center, and there is no Heart
Center. Thus, when a human sleeps, there is no cognition, no will, and no emotions. The
astrological signs of Leo, Virgo, and Pisces are absent in the mammalian or sleep matrix.
Furthermore, in mammals the Design Crystal resides in the Sacral Center. When we
sleep, although we remain human, we move into a place of oneness with the collective
consciousness of the universe and we lose our active cognitive centers of consciousness.
This kind of shift reflects itself in the brain wave activity as seen in brain scans during
various stages of sleep. During dreaming, however, all brain waves are present; it is in
this phase of our consciousness that communication occurs between our waking and our
dreaming worlds. It is also in this phase of our consciousness that input from other
matrices integrate into our waking life.
The 15-Gate matrix is calculated using an 88-degree calculation based on the Moon
instead of on the Sun. This matrix has three Gates called Portal Gates that serve as the
connection between mammalian and human consciousness and move us from one world
to the other world in terms of the information communicated. Those people who have one
or more of the Portals to the other world are able to communicate with other mammals
easily. However, when we Dream, the information received during deep sleep is
processed in our Lunar 64-gate matrix; it is then integrated into our waking
consciousness. It is this cross over of consciousness communicated through neurological
pathways in the brain that allows us to access other dimensions and to have a spiritual
capacity in our consciousness and in our life.

The Solar level of the Human Design Body Graph shows only conscious awareness in
our waking life; it represents the Mental Body, i.e., the way in which we interpret
physical interactions in the world in which we live. It is through the activations and/or the
definitions of channels of related planets in the Body Graph that we are moved in one
direction rather than another in terms of our sensibilities. Activations in the Body Graph
work on two levels: the personal planets are just that, personal filters that predispose us to
relate in the world in certain ways; the transpersonal planets, i.e., the slow moving
planets, are filters that change the collective consciousness of the planet in global cycles
and in ways which move people as a collective in certain directions. In our programming
field, we are far from independent of other humans and animals. In fact, research has
shown that when a certain critical mass of similar thoughts is reached, the information
surfaces in the consciousness of many. This phenomenon is labeled “the hundredth
monkey” phenomenon. This kind of energetic communication of ideas and behavior has
also been noted in research on Transcendental Meditation and on prayer.
A person who has the Sun in Gate 13 or in Aquarius has an experience of that Aquarian
energy Gate all the time; however, someone with no Aquarian Gate 13 activation
currently (April 26, 2005) has that Gate defined by Neptune. This energy, activated in the
collective culture now, moves everyone in ways those who have Gate 13 personally
defined generally experience. Gate 13 is currently programming everyone to remember
and listen deeply for what they have learned from the past, i.e., from history. Gate 13 as
the Gate of the Listener, is activating everyone to become more aware of nuances that are
behind the veil of appearances. While this capacity to recollect is something that someone
with a personal Gate 13 might engage in regularly, now the nostalgia of the collective is
supporting and moving toward, hopefully, learning through its past experiences. Gate 13
is keynoted: “The Gate of the Listener: The Fellowship of Man (Universal ideas and
values in an ordered framework which inspires humanistic cooperation.”) (The Rave IChing, Jovian Archive. 2001. p. 13-14)
The Solar Minute and Lunar Minute Worlds – The Emotional and
Hormonal/Physical Worlds
The Solar Minute and the Lunar Minute calculations evolved out of my desire to
document the physiological timing of the Dream cycle in humans as well as to
differentiate twin kittens whose birth data I had accurately timed. From the psychophysiological literature on dreams it was clear that there had to be some calculation that
would show a 90-minute timer in the human that could time the dream cycle. Also, it was
apparent that the Lunar mammalian matrix did not show the dream or sleep cycle of
mammals; we know that cats and dolphins have been used extensively in understanding
the sleep cycle and dream cycle of humans; thus, it was documented scientifically that
these animals dream. In addition, when I did the Lunar mammalian charts of a litter of six
kittens born within a two-hour period, they all had the same design chart and the same
bases. Twin kittens, I hypothesized, would have to show some differences at the base
level of their being especially since one of the twin cats died at age 10 of congenital
cardiomyopathy and the other cat is still remains healthy at age 15. In the search for the
scientific basis of differentiating twins, even human twins, I looked at the Lunar minute
13

base. The Lunar Minute is calculated based on an 88-degree arc of the minute of the
zodiac position of the Moon. Out of this calculation, differentiation on the physiological
level of being was clear. This calculation times the dream cycle of humans. Since many
hormones are released during sleep and dreaming and since there is much documented
about the cycle of physiological shifts in the 24-hour day, this calculation has held up and
proved valid in timing the physical being of an individual as well as in accurately
representing the sleep layer of a mammal.
The Solar Minute calculation parallels the Lunar Minute calculation and was revealed in
conjunction with the Lunar Minute calculation. The Solar Minute represents the
Emotional being of a person in the world. It is calculated based on an 88-degree arc of the
minute of the zodiac position of the Sun. It times the emotional cycle as four-day cycle
and as stated earlier also times the emotional bonding of the mother and child. The
emotional body functions in a cyclic manner; its energy in the Body Graph is primarily
focused in the Solar Plexus Center. It makes sense that the emotional cycle is timed on a
layer of being that is not present in mammals who have no Solar Plexus Center in their
matrix. Also, many emotions, although triggered by the physiology of a person, are
impacted by the environment and by interactions with other people. This calculation
stands up to the test.
The Four Worlds – The Four Matrices
The initial information about Human Design included the 64-Gate Solar Body Graph, the
Lunar 15-Gate Mammalian and Human Sleep Body Graph, the 25-Gate Biological Body
Graph as it is laid down through the first trimester of pregnancy and then continues
functioning throughout life. In working with these Body Graphs and in working clinically
and statistically, it became apparent that several areas of functioning in a human being, as
an integrated whole, were absent in the model. It became apparent in working with
individuals who are highly spiritual and mystical that they receive information from
beings existing in other spheres or dimensions of time and space. This information is
communicated to these people through some aspects of/in the Body Graph. For a model
to hold scientifically, it must meet all criteria in function. When it does not hold up, either
it needs to change or it needs to be discarded as a hypothetical model that is no longer
useful. In design information, it seems that there was just some missing information.
As clinical data continued to come in, it became clear that an “Angelic” matrix existed
that could account for the missing pieces. As the hypothesis of the existence of this
matrix continued to find support, more information about it emerged. In its structure, the
Angelic matrix consists of 33-gates with three Portal gates. To clarify, each of the four
matrices representing each of the worlds is calculated using the Solar, Solar Minute,
Lunar, and Lunar Minute calculations. Each matrix has three Portals that connect with a
different world as in the other layers or matrices. In other words, each world has three
Portals that link it to the 64-gate matrix as well as to the two other worlds through a
partial matrix. The symmetry of nature can be seen in the functioning of this system. In
the time since I first began using the angelic matrix in 2001, it has proved itself to be an
invaluable part of understanding the functioning of any individual.

Thus, Multidimensional Human Design uses four matrices in four worlds with a fifth
world integrating all. The four matrices correspond to the four worlds of esoteric theory.
In design the Self-Center is where the magnetic monopole resides. It is the magnetic
monopole that holds us in form. It is here that we see the Incarnation Cross of the Sphinx
paralleling the positions of the four elements in the zodiac wheel in the four fixed signs of
the zodiac. These signs are represented in Tarot cards and in their astrological positions
as well. They generally refer to the worlds represented in esoteric theory.
The Atziluth World – The World of Archetypes (The 15–Gate Sleep Matrix) - Fire
The Atziluth World is the world of Fire. In the zodiac it corresponds to the sign of Leo
and to the fifth house. Gate 7, located in the Self-Center, represents the fixed sign of Leo.
Gate 7 is keynoted: “The Gate of the Role of the Self: The Army (The point of
convergence. By design, the need for leadership to guide and order society)” (The Rave IChing, Jovian Archive. 2001. p.7). Gate 7 has an initiating and powerful energy. It gives
direction to the Self. It leads. In Tarot cards, this world is represented by the Lion and
appears in both the World and in the Wheel of Fortune cards as the Lion in the Leo sign.

In Design, this world relates to the 15-Gate matrix, the world of archetypes and the
collective unconscious. It functions in altered states of consciousness tapping into the
instinctive survival aspects at the core of our being. It links us with the Divine Self and
with consciousness of the totality. From this plane of existence all else emerges.
Although the fire sign is absent as a Gate in this matrix, the general matrix itself contains
the energy of initiating fire. In Tarot the Atziluth world corresponds the to suit of Wands.

The Briatic World – The World of Mystical Inspiration (The 33–Gate Angelic
Matrix) - Water
The Briatic world is the world of Water. In the zodiac it corresponds to the sign of
Scorpio and to the eighth house. Gate 1, located in the Self-Center, represents the fixed
sign of Scorpio. Gate 1 (all yang) in the I-Ching is keynoted: “The Gate of SelfExpression: The Creative (Creation as a primal force. The energy potential to manifest
inspiration without limitation”). (The Rave I-Ching, Jovian Archive. 2001. p.1). Gate 1
has powerfully creative energy. It gives expression to the Self. It creates. In Tarot cards,
this world is represented by the Eagle and appears in both the World and in the Wheel of
Fortune cards as the Eagle in the Scorpio sign.
In Design this world relates to the 33-Gate matrix, the World of Mystical Inspiration or
the Angelic matrix. It functions in states of consciousness that taps into the spiritual
aspects at the core of our being linking us with Higher Beings in the totality. It is from
this plane of existence that all creative transformation of thought and human endeavor
emerges. In Tarot, the Briatic world corresponds the to suit of Cups.
The Yetzirah World – The World of Earth (The 64–Gate Earth Matrix) - Air
The Yetzirah world is the world of Air. In the zodiac it corresponds to the sign of
Aquarius and to the eleventh house. Gate 13, located in the Self-Center, represents the
fixed sign of Aquarius. Gate 13 in the I-Ching is keynoted: “The Gate of The Listener:
The Fellowship of Man (Universal ideas and values in an ordered framework which
inspires humanistic cooperation”). (The Rave I-Ching, Jovian Archive. 2001. p.13). Gate
13 has powerfully human energy. It gives expression to the desires of man and integrates
the worlds in form. It has to do with the process and the forces behind the veil of physical
things. In Tarot cards, this world is represented by the human and appears in both the
World and in the Wheel of Fortune cards as the human in the Aquarius sign. Note that six
of the seven the hexagrams in Solar Plexus Center have lower trigrams related to the
zodiac sign of Aquarius. The seventh hexagram has a Leo lower trigram.
In Design this world relates to the 64-Gate matrix, the World of Earth, the integrative
world in which humans live. When at their highest potential, humans integrate all
dimensions and all worlds in a fluidic manner honoring the Divine at the core of their
being and unified with all life. This world is an interactive world unifying all the matrices
and integrating man within a totality as well as within himself. It is in this world that we
might find the way the mind, spirit, and the body work together. The 64-Gate matrix
functions in all layers of consciousness, tapping into the all aspects at the core of our
being, and linking us with Higher Beings in the totality as well as with our physical form.
It is from this plane of existence that all human activity emerges. In Tarot, the Yetzirah
world corresponds the to suit of Swords.

The Assiah World – The World of Biological Form (The 25-Gate Biological Matrix)
- Earth
The Assiah world is the world of Earth. In the zodiac it corresponds to the sign of Taurus
and to the second house. Gate 2, located in the Self-Center, represents the fixed sign of
Taurus. Gate 2 (all yin) in the I-Ching is keynoted: “The Gate of Higher Knowing: The
Receptive (Receptivity as the primal base through which any response is determined. The
root of action”). (The Rave I-Ching, Jovian Archive. 2001. p.1). Gate 2 has powerful
receptive energy. It drives the Self, integrating the animal nature to the higher purpose of
our existence. In Tarot cards, this world is represented by the Bull and appears in both the
World and in the Wheel of Fortune cards as the Bull in the Taurus sign.
In Design this world relates to the 25-Gate matrix, the world of our biological form and
functioning. Without our physical and physiological organism we would and do cease
existence on the earth plane. When in the perfect flow biologically and mentally, we
move without effort and in perfect health. It is from this plane of biological form that we
manage our vehicle and how it moves in the physical world of earth. In Tarot, the Assiac
world corresponds the to suit of Pentacles.
The Fifth World – The World of Integration
Beyond each separate world is a plane of consciousness that transcends and integrates the
worlds. This world is a world in which comprehension is beyond the mind of a human; in
this realm, we live with a sense of the flow of all being and one with it. In this dimension,
we live consciously in all the realms and in a vibration of unity. Part of the purpose of
knowing and learning the Multidimensional Human Design System is to enter this realm
of existence with total trust in our form and using it as an instrument in harmony with a
greater purpose. By recognizing that our form exists and crosses dimensions of time and
space and by recognizing the structure of our design we are able to learn our strategy for
functioning in this worldly dimension while in form. The Multidimensional Human
Design tools allow an individual in a very simple way to access their functioning
consciousness energetically and with almost no words. The realization of the dynamic
quality with which activity in our matrices turn on and off allows us to be more than one
way in the world and within ourselves; thus, the one moves to two to three to four and
ultimately to more than itself into the five. It is in that world of integration that wholeness
exists. The four 64-Gate Matrices function as this fifth world. They operate together
turning on and off during a period of time in harmony with the universe and with the
celestial bodies. Once we access this rhythm, we become one with this process and can
rest comfortably within our Divine Self.
Working with the Multidimensional Human Design System
Working with multiple layers and calculations of the Body Graphs of an individual often
prove to be simpler than working with just the Solar Body Graph. To begin your own
exploration of this complex and yet easy to use system, look at your own
Multidimensional Charts along with those of family and friends. Initially, look at whether
Type changes from layer to layer. Then, using the Lunar Minute Postnatal design, fill in
all gates that are activated in this one Body Graph. This composite design can show you
the actual functional Type of the individual.
22

Noble Sciences, LLC. 2009. All Rights Reserved. www.noblesciences.com
When someone changes from a Manifestor to a Generator as I do in moving from my
Solar to my Lunar Prenatal/Natal design, Type rings true on a different level of one’s
being. For me, being a Solar Manifestor did not explain sufficiently why I do not usually
take action or initiate actions; being a Lunar Generator instills in me a need to wait for an
internal response on a spiritual level of my being before I know what action to take. Once
I recognized this pattern and energy in myself, I could understand why I have always had
a sense of timing in what I do and seem to take action at the right time in the right way
for myself. This pattern showed me how I move in the flow of my own spiritual being.
Sometimes, a Reflector in the Solar Body Graph becomes a Manifesting Generator or
vice versa. Some individuals never gain a Bridge to a Center even in their complete
composite. Some individuals never change Type. By looking simply at what Gates turn
on and off, a very simple tool becomes extremely powerful with minimal interpretation.
After looking at whether Type changes from one 64-Gate design to the next, look to see
how the person looks when seen through the 15-Gate matrices. Often in the sleep layer of
one’s design there is no definition at all, i.e., the person becomes a Reflector. If the
person had Sacral definition in the 64-Gate layers and loses it when they sleep, it is
significant in terms of how information about their own responses carry forward from
day to day. In addition, Portal Gates tell you if the person moves easily through the
different worlds and at which level of their own being. Play with this information always
asking yourself, what world it is in and how it might translate in the individual’s
experiences in the waking world.
Next, look to see if the Sacral Center and the Ajna Center are defined. If they are both
defined in someone’s composite, this person has a spirituality and a drive to understand
the cosmos in ways that move the information to a higher octave than just ordinary
reality. It shows someone who is a seeker. It also shows potential as a Channel of
information from guides and beings on other planes of existence. This information takes
you into the 33-Gate matrix and lets you know how the individual translates information
from instinctive survival levels of their being into higher understanding through
cognition. Someone with both the Sacral Center and the Ajna Center defined are designed
to be the alchemists of information for the collective.
Look also at the Incarnation Crosses for the Sun and Earth in the Solar degree charts and
for the Moon in the Lunar degree charts. Read these four Incarnation Crosses and look at
all gates related to them in the design. Also, look at all variants of these Crosses to find
gates that relate to them so you can read nuances of energy.
By using these simple steps in a structured systematic way, you can glean a great deal of
insight and knowledge about how a person functions; in addition, you can see what they
came in to accomplish as their life purpose in this Incarnation.
Leave the 25-Gate matrix alone for the time being. It is far from documented in clinical
and biological verification. Use it only as a peripheral guide in terms of how it functions.
For example, if someone always has the Solar Plexus Center defined to the Heart Center,
23

you might address digestive issues with that person. But, this material if far more
advanced than can be described in this brief paper.
Draw on your knowledge from your own experiences of the layers described in this
paper. Use your knowledge from the symbolic images the multiple Body Graphs present
to your consciousness. Design is a tool that uses archetypes of the collective
consciousness of our being and provides the mind with a way to grasp the elusive aspects
of functional consciousness. To attempt to formulize or to categorize people takes the
unique power of this tool and brings it into a limited perspective. Each person is unique
in the Multidimensional Human Design System and by looking at the internal patterns of
each person’s functional psyche; one has a true psycho-physiological fingerprint of that
person.
Conclusion
The Multidimensional Human Design System emerged out of research aimed at
validating the Basic Human and Mammalian Design Systems. As in any early scientific
field, the material presented to date is hypothetical although much of it has sound
statistical validity and reliability as well as clinical documentation. The theoretical basis
of the Multidimensional Human Design System spans psychological, physiological,
esoteric, and philosophical fields as they integrate in a structural model; this model seems
to hold substantially up through 6 years of clinical experience and testing. This field is
new with only a handful of individuals embracing and using it extensively. As other
individuals and professionals open to the power of this tool, it can grow and expand in
ways we cannot even comprehend at this point in time. The Multidimensional Human
Design System formulates a model of personality theory whose breadth and depth go
beyond any one discipline. In addition, it seems to hold up to biological as well as to
psychological scrutiny.
As humanity increasingly functions in one world with one consciousness, it is essential
that we develop tools that move beyond cultural limitations to embrace our Divine Self.
Only when the truly empowered Self moves each individual can inner and outer harmony
prevail.

Glossary of Jungian Terms
Anima and Animus
The personification of the feminine nature of a man’s unconscious and the masculine
nature of a woman’s unconscious. Anima and animus generally manifest in personified
form as figures in dreams and fantasies, in the irrationalities of a man’s feeling and a
woman’s thinking. They are two of the most influential regulators of behavior.
“Every man carries within him the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that
particular woman, but a definitive feminine image. This image is fundamentally
unconscious, an hereditary factor of primordial origin engraved in the living organic
system of the man, an imprint or ‘archetype’ of all the ancestral experiences of the
female, a deposit, as it were of all the impressions ever made by woman… Since this
image is unconscious, it is always unconsciously projected upon the person of the
beloved, and is one of the chief reasons for passionate attraction or aversion.” (The
Development of Personality, CW 17, p. 198)
“In its primary ‘unconscious’ form the animus is a compound of spontaneous,
unpremeditated opinions which exercise a powerful influence on the woman’s emotional
life, while the anima is similarly compounded of feelings which thereafter influence or
distort the man’s understanding (‘she has turned his head’). Consequently the animus
likes to project itself upon ‘intellectuals’ and all kinds of ‘heroes,’ including tenors,
artists, sporting celebrities, etc. The anima has a predilection for everything that is
unconscious, dark, equivocal, and unrelated in woman, and also for her vanity, frigidity,
helplessness, and so forth.” (The Practice of Psychotherapy, CW 16, par. 521)
“The natural function of the animus (as well as of the anima) is to remain in [their] place
between individual consciousness and the collective unconscious [q.v.]; exactly as the
persona [q.v.] is a sort of stratum between the ego-consciousness and the objects of the
external world. The animus and the anima should function as a bridge, or a door, leading
to the images of the collective unconscious, as the persona should be a sort of bridge into
the world.” (Unpublished Seminar Notes. “Visions” I, p. 116)
Archetype
“ The concept of the archetype… is derived from the repeated observation that, for
instance, the myths and fairytales of world literature contain definite motifs which crop
up everywhere. We meet these same motifs in the fantasies, dreams, deliria, and
delusions of individuals living today. These typical images and associations are what I
call archetypal ideas. The more vivid they are, the more they will be coloured by
particularly strong feeling-tones… They impress, influence, and fascinate us. They have
their origin in the archetype, which in itself is an irrepresentable, unconscious, preexistant form that seems to be part of the inherited structure of the psyche and can
therefore manifest itself spontaneously anywhere, at any time. Because of its instinctual
nature, the archetype underlies the feeling-toned complexes [q.v.] and shares their
autonomy.” (Civilization in Transition, CW 10, par 847)
25
© Unified Life Sciences. 2005. All Rights Reserved. www.unifiedlifesciences.com
Noble Sciences, LLC. 2009. All Rights Reserved. www.noblesciences.com
“Again and again I encounter the mistaken notion that an archetype is
determined in regard to its content, in other words that it is a kind of
unconscious idea (if such an expression be admissible). It is necessary to
point out once more that archetypes are not determined as regards their
content, but only as regards their form and then only to a very limited
degree. A primordial image [q.v.] is determined as to its content only
when it has become conscious and is therefore filled out with the material
of conscious experience. Its form, however, … might perhaps be
compared to the axial system of a crystal, which, as it were, performs the
crystalline structure in the mother liquid, although it has no material
existence of its own. This first appears according to a specific way in
which the ions and molecules aggregate. The archetype in itself is empty
and purely formal, nothing but a facultas praeformandi, a possibility of
representation which is given a priori. The representations themselves are
not inherited, only the forms, and in that respect they correspond in every
way to the instincts, which are also determined in form only. The
existence of the instincts can no more be proved than the existence of the
archetypes, so long as they do not manifest themselves concretely.” (The
Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, CW 9, I, pp. 79f.)
“… it seems to me probable that the real nature of the archetype is not capable of being
made conscious, that it is transcendent, on which account I call it psychoid [q.v.]” (The
Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche, CW 8, p. 213)
Consciousness
“When one reflects upon what consciousness really is, one is profoundly impressed by
the extreme wonder of the fact that an event which takes place outside in the cosmos
simultaneously produces an internal image, that it takes place, so to speak, inside as well,
which is to say: becomes conscious.” (Basel Seminar, Privately printed, 1934, p. 1).
“For indeed our consciousness does not create itself– it wells up from unknown depths.
In childhood it awakens gradually, and all through life it wakes each morning out of the
depths of sleep from an unconscious condition. It is like a child that is born daily out of
the primordial womb of the unconscious.” (Psychology and Religion: West and East, CW
11, pp. 569 f.)
Mandala
“Mandala means a circle, more especially a magic circle, and this form of symbol is not
only to be found all through the East, but also among us; mandalas are amply represented
in the Middle Ages. The specifically Christian ones come from the earlier Middle Ages.
Most of them show Christ in the centre, with the four evangelists, or their symbols, at the
cardinal points. This conception must be a very ancient one because Horus was
represented with his four sons in the same way by the Egyptians… For the most part the
mandala form is that of a flower, cross, or wheel, with a distinct tendency toward four as
the basis of the structure.” (Commentary to Secret of the Golden Flower, CW 13, par. 31,
mod.)
26

“ Mandalas…usually appear in situations of psychic confusion and perplexity. The
archetype thereby constellated represents a pattern of order which, like a psychological
‘view-finder’ marked with a cross or circle divided into four, is superimposed on the
psychic chaos so that each content falls into place and the weltering confusion is held
together by the protective circle…At the same time they are yantras, instruments with
whose help the order is brought into being.” (Civilization in Transition, CW 10, par 803).
Psychoid
“Soul-like” or “quasi-psychic”
“ … the collective unconscious… represents a psyche that … cannot be directly
perceived or ‘represented,’ in contrast to the perceptible psychic phenomena,, and on
account of its ‘irrepresentable’ nature I have called it ‘pscyhoid.’” (The Structure and
Dynamics of the Psyche, CW 8, p. 436)
