This question has occupied me for half my life. In this blog post, I take a critical look at the question of meaning with the help of Human Design. Let yourself be inspired and form your own opinion.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Human Design: A framework for more orientation?<\/h2>\n
In a highly complex world, we often look for structure in order to gain security. Systems such as Human Design provide orientation and help us to better understand our own identity. Many people hope that human design will provide answers to life’s big questions, especially in uncertain phases of life or when choosing a career. But how helpful are these answers really? Do we really understand our identity or do we identify with something we only seem to be? <\/p>\n

Vitality or limitation by Human Design?<\/h2>\n
I keep asking myself this critical question: Is Human Design \u2014 especially the interpretation of one\u2019s life purpose through the Incarnation Cross<\/a> \u2014 a help or a limitation? Does Human Design give us security, or does it prevent us from opening ourselves to life in its spontaneity? Perhaps we don\u2019t need a system at all if we trust that life naturally leads us in the direction of our authentic unfolding.<\/p>\n

The Human Design book \u201cThe Book of Destinies”<\/h2>\n
The book The Book of Destinies \u2013 Discover Your Purpose by Chetan Parkin and Carola Eastwood*<\/a> describes 192 Incarnation Crosses<\/a> that are said to provide insight into a person\u2019s life purpose. These crosses are said to influence our nature from birth. Although I see this Human Design book as a valuable source of inspiration, the question remains:
Do we really need a predefined meaning of life? Or is this search rather an expression of our mistrust in life itself?<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Questions you can ask yourself:<\/h3>\n
– What sense does it make for me to ask about the meaning of life?
– Is the meaning of life given to me from the outside?
– Is life itself perhaps the highest purpose?
– Is a purpose in life necessary to live a fulfilled life?<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Science vs. the question of meaning<\/h2>\n
From a scientific point of view, the question of the meaning of life is irrelevant. Science describes and explains phenomena without assigning meaning to them. However, every scientific process requires a subjective observer. Therefore, science can never be completely objective. <\/p>\n
