The Elephant in the Room:
There’s an ancient parable about blind men and an elephant. Each touches a different part and insists he’s found the truth. One feels the trunk and calls it a snake. Another grabs the leg and swears it’s a tree. A third touches the side and insists it’s a wall. They’re all right. They’re all wrong. None of them sees the elephant. For years, I had no choice but to live like those blind men. I had my massage therapy training, my exercise certifications, and my spiritual practices. Each was true. Each was powerful. But they existed in separate compartments, never FULLY integrated, never really speaking to one another. Until I began exploring Human Design… I’m a Triple Split Splenic Projector with a 2/4 profile, a configuration that appears in less than one percent of the population. When I first heard about my design, something shifted. My spleen has always been my compass. It’s the still, small voice that knows truth before my mind can rationalize it away. In massage therapy school, I learned to trust my hands. I was trained to feel tissue density, to sense where the body held tension, to recognize patterns of dysfunction. That training taught me something essential: the body speaks a language that precedes thought. It knows things the conscious mind hasn’t yet articulated. When I began studying Human Design charts, I realized I was using that same skill set. I would study a chart—any chart, whether it belonged to a spiritual leader, a historical figure, a presidential candidate, or a client—and something in me would simply know. Not intellectually. Intuitively. My spleen would recognize the pattern, the blueprint, the design. This is what it means to honor the gift of intuition. Einstein said it: “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” I was learning to honor the gift. Intuition without verification is just opinion. So I would set of to test it. I explored hundreds of Human Design charts. I looked for connections and differentiations. I cross-referenced what I felt to be true with what neuroscience was discovering about the nervous system, what scripture revealed about human nature, what various theological traditions taught about consciousness and design.
