Reflection of the week: Coming off the roof

One of the things that has become increasingly clear to me about Human Design is that it came into the world as a revelation, and that I enjoy it most when it remains a revelation in my own personal experience. There is very little in Human Design that I have grasped intellectually and that has ultimately remained that way once I have lived it for myself. My experience always seems to reveal something more about the information - something my mind could never have arrived at on its own.

This is very much the case with the theme of coming off the roof as a 4/6 profile. Everything I had heard and learned about it turns out to be quite different, experientially, from what my mind had imagined it would be.

As a 4/6 profile in Human Design, the image of being on the roof has always made sense to me.

Between 30 and 50, I began to see how I was somehow drawn to observing life without fully participating in it. The funny thing is that I wasn’t quite aware of it. My fourth-line personality, so to speak, was on a different trip - still largely convinced that I could rule my own existence and caught in the illusion of control.

As the years passed, however, that illusion began to crumble, very slowly. I started to see how much of what I had considered to be my own way of being was actually an expression of conditioning - conditioning that had deeply affected my life, my body, my nervous system, my muscular armoring, my neural pathways, and so on.

Life on the roof between 30 and 50 brought me into contact with all kinds of opportunities to observe the depth of conditioning and its profound impact on the body, particularly through the various therapeutic settings and experiences I took part in.

And by the time I had become more or less aware of this, the descent from the roof had already begun.

I wasn’t ready for it at all. There was no sense of finally reaching some moment when I would “flower” - hell, no. It felt much more like:

“I can finally see how much dirt, mud and dust I’ve accumulated. It’s still sticking to me like a second skin - and now I feel pulled back down into the same mud pool again… what the f..k???”

So this is more or less where I find myself today, and from here I would like to introduce you to the way I am approaching Human Design: not simply as a fascinating system, but as a GPS for our process of awareness.

This shifts the emphasis from acquiring knowledge about Human Design to actually engaging in a process of awareness - and such a process requires experience first.

That is why the Embody Your Design process I am offering, beginning on January 18, 2027, is oriented first towards experience: meditation techniques, ecstatic dance, and an exploration of the conditioned stances that were laid down during childhood. Human Design then comes in as a lens through which we can accompany and make sense of that experience, rather than as the starting point.

If this speaks to you - or if you find yourself accompanying others as a parent or therapist - this process offers a hands-on, experiential approach. The online meetings create space for meditation, dance and exchange, bringing experience directly into your life rather than keeping Human Design at the level of knowledge.

If you are curious about my teaching style, I’ve also put together a 7-hour introduction to the nine centers of the Bodygraph on Udemy (https://www.udemy.com/course/human-design-beyond-the-bodygraph/?referralCode=B7327E69007C074A1A77). It can give you a good taste of how I bring what I see through my own experience, rather than simply regurgitating existing knowledge.

If the experiential process of Embody Your Design appeals to you, send me an email or WhatsApp (atashdirk@gmail.com or whatsapp +32484229260) and we can set up an introductory conversation to see whether this is something we might engage in together.

Thanks for reading me!

Dirk
