Human Design: Let’s talk the Open Head Center

Let’s talk from Defined Head to Defined Head

No offense. But we have to talk about our responsibility as Defined Heads – especially, if we are Mental Projectors. Open Heads are known for asking unnecessary questions. Their mind is occupied with lots and lots of stuff which doesn’t really matter. At least, Ra Uru Hu said so, and Humans Design folks say so.

“He who thinks great thoughts, often makes great errors” Martin Heidegger

I have apprehended Open Heads as quite useful and beautiful – when they are not pretending to know something. Because they are ALWAYS asking the right questions, if we are just open to listen to them.

We have to encourage them, no laugh at them and tell them how stupid they are, by asking such things. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. (Ok. I admit it, there are stupid questions, but these are those questions intentionally asked to make the inquirer look smart.)

But an Open Head is not like that. It asks exactly what we need to hear to help us refine our outlook.

Open and Defined Heads work together as a Team

But there is another side to it.

An open Head Centera is quiet sensitive to mental influences, for the good or the bad. They take in whatever you say to them, think it through and then occupy what have been said. And this is when we are dealing with opinions.

I’ve seen so often, how my words could really make a difference, and when what I just say out of mindlessness becomes the opinion of someone else. Which is of course not a good thing.

“Even while they teach, men learn” Seneca the Younger

I do not want to talk manipulation and easily engineered public consent, which is an Open Head issue.

But I’ve seen in Human Design Groups this lack of confidence, which comes with the knowledge of knowing that your Head is not defined. There is great social pressure arising as well; now that this world of hard labour becomes more and more a world of knowledge workers. The struggle is real.

Let’s imagine a perfect world

But let’s imagine a perfect world where everyone lives as authentic as possible. Let’s imagine how perfectly defined and open Heads could cooperate. Instead of some weird competition of intelligence, we could refine and gain so much wisdom and knowledge. I love, when open Heads ask challenging questions. Because they always find something I would have considered as not relevant- to be honest, I would have never asked that question. But by answering it, I can download so much more information- because intentionally it would have been out of my possibility to consive.

We need each other to operate correctly.

Love, Leni
