Mutation
When you think of centers you think of the nine geometric shapes in the bodygraph. Sometimes they are colored in, other times they are not. They connect to each other via channels. But you probably don't think of MUTATION. Yes, the centers are a deeply mutative and mutating element.
The first thing to understand is that the centers are an evolving process and that the human species is mutating through the evolution of the centers. We have evolved from the 7 to 9 centered being. And the 9 centered being is currently evolving through the mutation of the solar plexus.
Secondly, the centers act as mutative hubs that redistribute energy in the context of its specific qualities. Through this redirection and collection of energy they are constantly mutating and being mutated by their surroundings.
Evolution from Seven to Nine Centered Beings
 Hindu Chakra System |
Many systems use the idea of centers or hubs to represent the human being. The most well know is the Hindu Chakra system but there are others, for example the eleven centers in Kabala. No matter what the system, they all share in common the idea that we have central hubs of energy within us.
In terms of numbers of hubs, nine is not a common number. Many systems have human configurations using seven hubs, which was the number of planets visible to the naked eye.
Prior to 1781 the human as we know it did indeed have seven centers. This date coincides with the discovery of the Planet Uranus on March 13th, 1781 by Sir William Herschel.
 Kabala Tree of Life |
Since 1781 humanity has been expanding from the Saturnian cycle of 28.6 years to the Uranian cycle of 84 years. The transition did not happen over night since these things take a long time but 1781 was the mid point. It started the transformation with the Cross of Planning in 1610.
This meant that humans on average started living longer lives. In the Saturnian Cycle you were an old person by the time you were past 30. You were probably even a grandparent by then since you started bearing children right out of puberty. By the time you were 15 you were a full blown adult.
In the Uranian Cycle this time frame has been greatly expanded. In fact you are still a young man or woman until after 30. You aren't considered old until your late sixties (if that), and the date is being pushed back more and more.
Humans have always been different from the rest of the animal kingdom due to the extended length of time we depend on mothers for nourishment and protection. The time of helplessness and vulnerability for human children is much longer than any other animal. With the new Uranian Cycle, this time is even longer.
Unfortunately we still have remnants of the Saturnian belief system of when we should become grown up and self sufficient, which results in people who aren't ready being put under pressure to "get their act together". The truth is that children and young adults today aren't designed to come into adulthood into well after their thirties or even into their forties.
So this transformation from 7 centers to 9 centers has created a deep mutation in what it means to live, not only within our bodies but also in the way we actually live out our lives.
The Rave
In human design the 9 centered human is called a "Rave". But this is misleading. We actually haven't fully developed into a Rave yet. Even though we have 9 centers we are still in a midpoint between the 7 centered being and a fully developed 9 centered being. For the full mutation to happen our Solar Plexus has to fully mutate into an "aware" awareness center. Right now it is an awareness center but it isn't fully developed.
Fully mutated Raves will not begin to come until 2027 with the transformation of the solar plexus. It is possible to see glimpses of what these Raves will be like, but any examples we see today are only transitional elements and we have no idea what a Rave will really be like. People with autism, people with prostrate cancer and "Indigo Children" are part of this transformation.
Our current situation is similar to the juxtaposition profile in that we are carrying a little bit of the previous stage as well as a little bit of the next stage. Our new form is new to us and it won't be until well after 2027 that we fully understand how to use our bodies to their new potential.
Genetic Imperative
Do you spend the majority of your time trying to get laid? If you are like most people, your answer would be no. You'd say that there are more important things in life than the base element of satisfying your sexual desire with anyone who will oblige.
But on a genetic level your main purpose in life is....well, get laid. Seriously, though, your genetic imperative is to stay alive by reproducing your genetic material via a baby. And not just live for yourself, but for the whole human race. You may die but your genes have no plans of dying, so they focus all their energy on getting you to reproduce with as much diversity as possible. It's not personal. It's survival.
If you don’t make more, you die out. Every living thing does everything in its power to make more and it’s never personal. The genes recognize that sameness is a dead end street and we have worked sameness out of our biological system over millions of years because it is proven to be detrimental. The narrower the gene pool; the more negative mutations take place. So the genes become attracted to diversity. Culturally we seek similarity, as in Jews only marrying Jews for example, but this is just another survival technique. Within that structure there is always an allowance for diversity, the most basic one being that it's not cool to marry your direct genetic gene pool (like for example your sister!).
So this genetic imperative can be a problem, since on a genetic level opposites attract but on another level it is very hard living with somebody who is totally opposite to you. This is what we call love/hate. What you really like about somebody half of the time you hate about them the rest of the time. Your genes are saying "Yes!", your mother is saying "He's not one of us!". And you are just plain confused.

What does this have to do with centers? Well, Genetic Imperative is lived out through our open centers.
Every one of our open centers is attracted to what is different, regardless of the consequences. And all the while our mind is making up all sorts of reasons why or why not we should be doing what we are doing, which can really get confusing.
For example, if you have one emotional person with one non-emotional person there can be this deep love/hate interaction on the emotional level that causes all sorts of chaos and heartache. Yet the genetics are loving it.
Strategy as Key
The term Not-Self stands for unhealthy behavior resulting from the genetic imperative. Genetics don't care so long as they reproduce. You could live your whole life incorrectly, in the Not-Self, and still satisfy genetic imperative.
The True-Self stands for healthy behavior resulting from living your strategy. With True-Self behavior your open centers aren't just blind genetic imperatives but places to be wise. Our potential wisdom via these open centers represents our outer authority, but it can never become our decision-making process. That is always our inner strategy.
To honor Type, Strategy and Inner authority is the only way towards Self; it is the mechanical conversion of what we really are. In this way we will not avoid conditioning, but we will find the conditioning that is correct for us. The mutation will happen no matter what, but it will be a much more harmonious experience.

Now that we have covered some of the overall concepts, lets look at the Biology of the Centers.
