Human Design Academy By Ra Uru Hu: Part 22 - Openness, Conditioning, and the Aura Field in Relationship

Part 22: Openness, Conditioning, and the Aura Field in Relationship

(Advanced Teachings Inspired by Ra Uru Hu)

"You’re not here to fix your openness. You’re here to witness what it shows you.” — Ra Uru Hu

🔹 What is Openness?

In Human Design, openness refers to the undefined centers in your chart. These are the areas where you take in life — where you are receptive, where you are not fixed. And this openness is where you meet the other.

You’re not here to become what’s in your openness.
You’re here to see what’s passing through.

But the homogenized world teaches you to try and fill those spaces — to be consistent where you are not, to prove, to seek, to compensate.

In relationships, this becomes the source of distortion.

🔹 The Aura is the Delivery System

Every human aura is a field of frequency. When two people come into each other’s aura, there is a full body transmission. Definition meets definition. Openness meets openness. And the result is conditioning.

You pick up their defined Throat? You feel pressured to speak.
Their defined Ego conditions your undefined Ego? You try to prove yourself.
Their Sacral buzzes through your openness? You think you're energized when you're not.

This is not mental. This is biological.
Your body is literally responding to the other person’s field.

And the conditioning is intense.

🔹 Why Relationships Feel So Personal

You think you're hurt by your partner.
You think you’re insecure because of something they did.
But what you’re often responding to is mechanical.

It’s not about love.
It’s about aura.

That partner may be lighting up your undefined Solar Plexus — and you become emotionally overwhelmed.
Or they activate your undefined Spleen — and suddenly you feel addicted to them, even when it’s not healthy.
Or they plug into your undefined Identity — and you lose your sense of direction.

You feel all of this in your body, and you think it's emotional.
But it’s design.

🔹 Conditioning Isn’t Bad — It’s Essential

Ra never taught that conditioning was “wrong.”
He taught that you cannot avoid it.

What matters is whether or not it is correct.
Whether or not it is aligned with your trajectory.
Whether or not your Authority allowed the relationship to unfold.

When conditioning is correct, it teaches you.
It shows you who you are by showing you who you are not.
It pushes you toward your unique geometry.
It reveals your themes of openness — not so you can fix them, but so you can witness them.

You’re not here to resist conditioning.
You’re here to see through it.

🔹 Open Centers: The Relationship Traps

Let’s walk through the biggest relational traps people fall into based on open centers:

Open Head: Getting lost in the other person’s doubts and questions.
Open Ajna: Trying to mentally agree to be loved.
Open Throat: Desperately needing to be heard in the relationship.
Open G Center: Seeking love and direction through the other.
Open Heart (Ego): Trying to prove you’re worthy of love.
Open Solar Plexus: Avoiding confrontation and hiding feelings.
Open Sacral: Saying yes to intimacy when you don’t have the energy.
Open Spleen: Holding on to people who are not good for you.
Open Root: Feeling pressure to resolve the relationship prematurely.

This isn’t personal. This is mechanics.

Until you learn to see the difference between what’s you and what’s not you, relationships will always be confusing.

🔹 The Gift of the Passenger

This is where Ra was so profound.
He didn’t want you to fix your relationships.
He wanted you to see them.

To see how your not-self mind tries to control the experience.
To see how your openness gets hijacked.
To see how aura tells the truth before your mind ever can.

Your job is not to protect yourself.
Your job is to be aware.

To be the Passenger.
To notice what moves through you.
To observe what your body feels.
And to act only from Strategy and Authority.
