"I know what to do... so why can't I do it?"
A common question by private clients is why they are unable to do something when they know what to do.
They have the strategy and the authority said yes.
So what holds them back?
What holds YOU back?
Some of these reasons can be traced back to the fear gates inside of Human Design. The gates (64 numbers you see in your Human Design chart) have multiple meanings. In this booklet, we're concerned with the meaning in regards to fear.
Inside this booklet, you'll explore:
Ancestral and generational fears: carrying the burdens of survival and being encoded with the memories of traumatic events that came from previous generations. This includes your direct bloodline and the stories of your religion, culture, and communities.
Mental anxieties and the "what if" loop: the self-talk that echoes in your mind and replays events from personal experiences. This includes moments of being rejected or believing all of your efforts are for nothing.
Relationships with others: emotions are multi-faceted and have led to war, violence, marriage, intimacy, etc. This includes the existential fear of whether your life has a purpose and if you are worthy of your relationships.
💡Note that this booklet is not about eradicating fear, forced forgiveness, or blame. The exploration of fear is bringing these fears into your awareness and acknowledgment before anything can be "done" about them.
My experience with ancestral fears
Ancestral fears are based on the splenic center part of the Human Design chart.
When I was a child, my parents would tell me that if I didn't eat every grain of rice, I'd grow chin hair for every grain I left on my plate.
I did this for 25 years until a friend pointed out that I always cleaned rice off my plates.
Only rice.
During my Human Design journey, I learned that this fear stems from my ancestors who lived in poverty. They survived wars, famine, and family members who passed too early. They survived the violent invasions and massacres of our people in the motherland and fled to safety.
My parents didn't understand the culture of why Americans never took "the last slice of pizza" because, in their homeland, they couldn't fathom leaving any food on their plate.
They had conditioned me to clean my plate because where our family descended from, they never knew where the next meal would come from.
Ever since this conditioning came into my awareness, I became cognizant of overeating or enforcing the "clean your plate" mentality onto my children. I consciously decided to do what I could to decondition this primal fear from not just my body but for my descendants, too.
Or to those reading this book, especially since these experiences aren't specific to me.
Look through your ancestry, whether cultural, religious, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.. You will find histories that required those before you to survive.
Those memories are stored in the splenic center, the center of ancestral and generational trauma.
This is just one example of what the splenic center can reveal.
The Gates of Fear also explores the anxiety-fueled fears of the ajna center and the relationship-based fears in the emotional/solar plexus center.
