S2E39: Human Design Knowing Circuit Inner Truth & Innovation

In this episode, I cover the Knowing Circuit in Human Design which is  the energy of bringing change, mutation, new directions, and evolution to others. I talk about what it means to have this energy and how it influences careers, relationships, and your impact on the world. Whether you know circuitry or not, this episode is for you.

I’ll explore how the environment and others in your life with activations in this circuit influence you, and share insights on how to relate to those with a lot of this circuitry while honoring your own design.

Transcript

In today's episode,

I'm going over the knowing circuit,

Which is a subcircuit of the individual circuit in human design.

The knowing circuit is the energy of bringing change,

Mutation,

New directions,

And evolution to others through being an example of authentic living in yourself.

I'll go over what the circuit is,

How people that have a lot of activations in the knowing circuit impact others,

As well as the emotional themes related to this energy and how it can be impactful in business.

Whether you have a lot of knowing circuitry in your chart or not,

This episode is definitely for you because you are impacted by it through other people and through planetary transits.

Welcome to Heart Centered Human Design,

The show that empowers heart-centered entrepreneurs to use human design and emotional intelligence to create meaningful success,

Work-life balance,

And transform their passion and purpose into impact and prosperity.

I am your host,

Vanessa Human Design Mentor and Business Coach,

And I love sharing this information with you so that you can embody your design,

Be on purpose,

And fulfill your potential.

So here we are another episode about circuitry.

And remember that circuitry is how the energy runs through your human design chart.

Now you're going to have some circuitry in the chart defined,

Meaning this is consistent energy for you.

It's what you broadcast out into the world and other people pick it up from you.

And you're going to have some undefined,

Which means this is energy that you are taking in from others that you are designed to become extremely wise about.

And you can think about defined as your nature and undefined as your nurture,

Where you are learning from your relationship with other people and also through planetary transits.

Now the knowing circuit is a subcircuit of the individual circuit.

I went over the entire individual circuit a few episodes back,

And this is the last of the subcircuits of the individual circuit that we'll be covering.

Now the individual circuit is focused on mutation,

Transformation,

And the knowing circuit specifically is about inner knowing.

This is individual knowing.

It's inspirational,

Intuitive.

This energy is also very moody and it can be extremely creative.

There's no logic in the knowing circuit.

It doesn't rely on patterns of the past or expectations of the future.

It doesn't rely on external validation.

It's very much about just knowing what it knows and it doesn't need proof about what it knows.

Now the thing with knowing is there can be a lot of conditioning around this because we have been so conditioned to rely on logic to know what we need to know.

And the logic circuit,

We will cover this in future episodes.

People that have a lot of logic in their circuitry can actually benefit from this because oftentimes people are like,

Well,

You're smart,

You're logical,

And you're meant to make logical decisions,

Which doesn't actually work in human design because in human design,

You're meant to follow your strategy and authority,

Which isn't always logical.

Now,

When somebody has a lot of knowing in their chart and not a lot of logic,

There can be some conditioning here around not being able to explain what they know because they don't know how they know what they know.

They just know.

And I really encourage parents,

Look at your children's charts and see,

Do they have a lot of knowing circuitry?

Because these are the kids that sometimes get in trouble because they got the right answer on the test,

But they weren't able to show their work.

And in truth is they just knew what the answer was,

But it wasn't a logical thing.

And I think it's so important for people to understand that there are so many different ways of knowing,

Not just logic,

And they're all equally valid.

They're just very different.

So this is another example of how beneficial human design is when you understand your own design and the design of your loved ones to really get how they operate differently from what is,

You know,

Considered the norm or what we have been conditioned to believe is correct.

So the knowing circuit is really about personal truth and innovation through individuality.

This is very different.

This is part of the individual circuit,

And it's very different from the collective circuit,

Which is very much about like looking for patterns in the past and the future and sharing what they've learned or the tribal circuit,

Which is more about supporting your loved ones and your tribe.

Knowing energy,

Like I said,

Doesn't always make sense to others.

The energy can be really ahead of its time.

This works in pulses.

This is this is channeling energy.

Things just kind of download and come through in the most random times that cannot necessarily be predicted.

And a person with a lot of knowing circuitry is going to know stuff,

And they are not going to know how they know it,

And they might have a really hard time explaining it.

This is also the only circuit that encompasses all three of the awareness centers.

It goes through the Ajna,

Which is mental awareness.

It goes through the spleen,

Which is instinctive awareness.

It also goes through the solar plexus,

Which is emotional and spiritual awareness.

All of the other circuits may cover one or two of these,

But none of them cover all three.

Now let's talk about the high and low expression of this energy.

And remember,

Our goal is to get to the high expression of the energy that we have defined,

Or of the wisdom that we are gaining in aspects of the circuitry that we may not have defined.

We are still sometimes going to be in the low expression,

And that's okay.

But knowing and understanding the difference between the low and high expression can actually help create a shift for us.

So in the high expression,

People that have a lot of knowing circuitry in their chart are deeply intuitive,

They're innovative,

And they trust themselves.

They empower others by being an individual example of uniqueness.

By simply being themselves and following their own inner flow,

Others are empowered and inspired by them.

Now the thing with the circuitry,

They may never know when or how they've inspired somebody else,

And they're okay with it.

They don't need to know.

They don't need that outside validation.

They are just naturally putting this energy out.

Others are picking it up from them,

And they're being empowered and inspired in a positive way.

People with this circuitry embrace being different,

They trust their inner knowing,

They trust their way of thinking and living and creating,

And they're not trying to force themselves into some form of logic or some form of operating that they've been conditioned to.

That is not actually correct for them.

And they are often misunderstood,

And they're okay with that.

They understand that they are here to bring change,

They're here to bring mutation,

Things that are new and different,

And sometimes it's going to take a little bit of time for the tribe and the collective to actually embrace that.

Now in the low expression of this energy,

People with a lot of knowing circuitry can really struggle with self-doubt,

And they can feel really pressured to justify how they know what they know.

And of course,

This is something that comes through.

It's not logical,

So they cannot necessarily explain or justify it.

They may feel isolated,

They may feel that they're too different,

That nobody understands them,

And as a result,

They may really not trust their own process.

And this works the other way too,

Because if they don't trust their own process,

That will lead to that feeling of isolation and being different.

They can also experience a lot of frustration when others resist their insights,

Because others may not be ready for them yet.

And as always,

The solution is to follow strategy and authority,

Which will help them move in their own direction,

In alignment,

True to who they are.

Now remember,

This is individual energy,

And all individual energy operates in pulses.

Nothing is happening,

Nothing's happening,

Nothing's happening,

And then boom,

Out of nowhere,

Something happens.

Some kind of a knowing,

Some download,

Something comes through,

And the mutation begins.

So there can be this feeling of being stuck while there's nothing happening,

Until that breakthrough occurs.

And there can also be that feeling of melancholy that is inherent in individual energy,

When nothing is happening.

So it's so important to remember that the melancholy is actually that creativity bubbling up underneath,

And it's almost like momentum is building for that breakthrough.

Knowing circuitry and individuality is very much about deep inner alignment,

No external validation necessary.

And this can feel somewhat lonely to people,

Because they are very different.

And learning to embrace your uniqueness,

And the fact that you are here to bring change,

Is absolutely essential.

You are different.

Technically,

We are all different.

But those with a lot of individual circuitry can sometimes be resisted by the tribe and the collective for the change that they bring,

Until eventually that change settles in,

And then they're celebrated.

And ultimately,

The collective and the tribe do look to the individual as the guiding agent that brings change.

Even though people with a lot of collective and tribal circuitry may not be aware of that,

And may not quite be ready for the change that the individual brings,

But they do eventually open up to that individual for the mutation,

The initiation,

And the change that they bring.

The collective and the tribe can also be very suspicious of the individual in the beginning,

Because they don't always like change.

And the collective likes to rely on logic,

And the tribe likes to rely on traditions.

The individual does not rely on either one of those.

So there can be some suspicion there.

And again,

It takes time for the changes that the individual brings to be fully absorbed and embraced by the tribe and the collective.

So in previous episodes,

I've gone deep into each one of the channels.

We're not going to do that today,

Because the knowing circuit is very big,

And there are a lot of channels here.

So we're just going to cover the individual streams that we have here,

And we're going to start with mental knowing.

This is channel 6124,

That runs from the head to the Ajna,

And channel 4323,

That runs from the Ajna to the throat.

And this is about a creative mental process.

It can turn out to be really efficient in structuring and communicating its knowing when it relies on right timing.

So with the knowing circuit and individuality in general,

Timing is absolutely essential,

Because when a mutation or a change is brought forth,

When it is premature,

That's going to bring up a lot of resistance.

But when it comes in the perfect timing,

It's going to bring a lot of celebration.

Now,

The head center is a pressure center,

And it is this pressure to bring forth the individual knowing the inner truth and the inspiration,

And then conceptualizing it into the Ajna and communicating it out through the throat.

Both of these channels are projected,

And what that means is that they do need to be recognized and invited in order to land well.

And a lot of time when people don't understand this circuitry in their chart,

Or even if you're a manifester,

Or if you are a type that's not a projector,

You're going to likely have projected channels,

And they're always going to require recognition and invitation in order to truly land.

So the temptation here is to not wait for the right timing,

To just blurt out this brilliant inspiration that you had that might make sense to you,

But it doesn't make sense to anybody else yet.

They basically reject what you say,

And then you feel that bitterness,

Which is actually the not-self theme of the projector,

Or in this case,

Projected channels.

There is deep mental processing here that does not rely on logic.

You can receive downloads of truth that you may absolutely not be able to explain.

You can struggle if you are forced to articulate what you know before you are ready.

Again,

This is all about divine timing,

And we can fall into the trap of that pressure to answer to people that want to know how you know what you know,

And you know what?

You just know,

And you can just say that.

It's just an intuitive hit,

And that's all I can tell you.

The high expression of this part of the chart is clear innovative insights that bring change and transformation,

And the low expression,

Again,

Is feeling misunderstood,

Struggling with the mental pressure,

Doubting their own insights,

And sharing what they know prematurely.

Moving on to the empowered knowing of direction,

And this energy starts off in the root center with channel 63,

Which brings pressure and change for innovation and mutation from the root center driving stamina into the sacral center,

The energy resource.

This then empowers the direction of the 214.

It brings these resources and gives direction to resources,

And that is through the G-center,

And then that creative,

Innovative,

Resourceful energy is expressed out through the 1A channel in the throat center.

This energy is expressed very creatively,

And the 1A channel is actually the leadership energy of the knowing circuit.

So anybody that has the 1A defined,

There is definite leadership energy here.

It is a really innovative and creative way of expressing resources,

Expressing direction,

And expressing knowing for everybody else,

And the high expression here is really allowing yourself to trust the process,

Allowing space for change to emerge in its own timing,

And in the low expression,

There can be a lot of frustration here.

So we do have two generated channels,

The 63 and the 214.

Anybody that has either one of those channels is naturally a generator or a manifesting generator,

And that frustration,

When they feel really stuck,

There can be this resistance to the unpredictable nature of this energy,

And remember,

Frustration is the not-self theme of generator and manifesting generator types,

And of course,

With the 1A,

It's a projected channel,

So this energy does need to be recognized and invited in order to be really impactful,

And when that energy is not heard or it's delivered in the wrong timing,

There can be that sense of bitterness.

So moving on to empowered instinctive knowing on the left side of the chart,

This starts off in the root center and moves to the spleens through channel 2830,

Which is known as a channel of struggle,

But it's also about really being tenacious,

About fighting for the good fight,

Fighting the right fight,

Fighting what really matters,

That brings meaning and purpose into your life,

And then that is expressed out through the 5720,

Which moves from the spleen center through the most intuitive gate in the entire chart of the 57 to the throat center in the 20,

Which is about contemplation and in the now.

So this is that in-the-moment,

Authentic,

Individual,

Knowing,

Intuitive expression in the now.

In the high expression,

This is unwavering self-trust,

Really trusting your intuition,

Having the courage to walk your own path,

To fight the good fight,

To fight the meaningful fight,

The fight that will actually really bring purpose into your life and the lives of others.

And in the low expression,

There can be some fear of the unknown here,

There can be fear of purposelessness,

And there can also be that habit of just fighting for the sake of fighting without actually picking the right fights.

When we're talking about the 3828,

I always like to say,

You gotta really pick your battles and know what is correct and meaningful to fight for and just drop all the rest.

And then the last one here is empowered emotional knowing.

This is the emotional side of the chart.

These two channels make up the individual emotional wave,

And I have done entire podcast episodes on this wave.

I will be sure to link them in the show notes if you want to check those out.

Now,

This starts off with the adrenalized emotional wave of the 3955.

This is the most melancholy energy in the chart,

And it is also incredibly creative.

This entire stream is incredibly,

Incredibly creative in a beautiful and emotional way.

Now,

With this emotional knowing,

This is about being provocative and provoking spirit and abundance in other people through that 3955.

And then the social openness of the 1222,

Which happens to be the only social channel in the entire individual circuit.

Now,

With this stream,

Both the 3955 and the 1222,

They can be extremely moody.

And the moodiness,

Like it's really important to be in the right mood when you're going to be social,

When you're going to be around others,

And when you share your gifts.

When you are not in the right mood,

That's actually the time for you to be on your own,

To spend time alone in your creative endeavors,

Doing what you love and really allowing that creativity to bubble up so that when you are in the right mood,

You can share it with others.

Now,

This is the individual emotional wave.

This can have high highs,

Low lows.

It can be fairly flat in between.

The spikes and the dips don't necessarily last very long,

But they can be quite intense.

And again,

The melancholy aspect of this is part of being an individual.

So whether you have these waves or whether you have a defined emotional solar plexus or not,

The melancholy will be there in those in-between periods when it feels like nothing is happening.

And then all of a sudden,

There's a breakthrough and we break out of the melancholy.

Of course,

Here in the actual individual emotional waves,

This can be exacerbated and there can be these periods of these really spiking up and then spiking down.

And again,

I go into a lot more detail about this in the episode about the individual emotional wave.

This energy is extremely creative,

Extremely talented.

Like all individual energy,

It's very acoustic.

So there is potential for great musical talent here.

This is another great thing in the emotional lows or those periods of melancholy is listen to music,

Play music,

Do something to music.

Maybe it is dancing,

Write music.

Music is a huge aspect of the creativity that lives in these two channels.

So if you have these defined in your chart and you don't play an instrument,

I invite you to experiment around.

Maybe there is something that you've been wanting to learn.

You may have an incredible talent for something that you have not even tried yet.

So definitely check it out.

Check out some instruments and let me know in the comments,

Are you going to learn a new instrument?

Do you play one already?

I would love to hear about your experience with music if you have either one of these channels.

So again,

High expression,

There's emotional depth here.

This is extremely artistic,

Like emotionally fueled artistry.

There is spirituality and personal transformation here.

And in the low expression,

You might feel overwhelmed by the emotional waves and you might be struggling to find the right outlet for your emotional expression.

Now talking a little bit more about the emotional aspects of the knowing circuit.

And remember this flows through the entire circuit.

This energy does come in pulses.

There is that melancholy when the pulse is off,

Which is then relieved when the pulse comes on and that creative knowing comes through.

Melancholy is actually the fuel for the creative genius that is inherent in the knowing circuit.

And it's important to really learn to honor your own cycles.

When you're in those down cycles,

Take your time alone,

Play around with your creativity,

Listen to some music.

This is an essential part of the creative process.

And of course,

There is going to be that feeling of being different and being misunderstood by people that do not have a lot of knowing or individual energy in the chart.

They can be concerned about not fitting in.

And also,

Of course,

The pressure to explain what you know when you don't necessarily know what you know.

So if somebody is pressuring you,

Just let it go.

You do not need to explain your knowing.

You just want to wait for the right timing to share what you know with the right people.

They can always be the challenge of trusting your own inner knowing,

Even when other people don't understand it.

And having that awareness that this is how your knowing comes through and it's okay,

Others don't need to understand it,

And just trusting that it will be accepted in the right time is really helpful here.

Now,

When it comes to relationships,

Again,

People with a lot of knowing circuitry,

Individual circuitry,

Can have that feeling of being deeply misunderstood by others.

And if you are in a relationship with somebody that has a lot of individual circuitry,

Knowing circuitry,

It's really important to understand this about them.

They are going to need space for their individuality.

They're going to need space for their deep personal processing.

They're extremely,

Extremely creative.

And you may not always understand what comes through for them when it comes through for them.

It's still important to be supportive of them,

Even if you don't understand that.

Because people with knowing circuitry work best in relationships with people who actually appreciate their uniqueness and celebrate it rather than trying to change them.

Now,

When it comes to business and career,

People with a lot of circuitry are really well suited for innovation,

Creativity,

And transformation.

They're not going to do well being micromanaged or being required to follow conventional strategies because their success actually comes through their unique insights in doing things differently.

Now,

In your own business,

If you have a lot of this circuitry,

Following other people's cookie cutter strategies is not the right way for you.

You have to discover your own innovative,

Unique way,

And then share that with others.

Because rather than you following what other people are doing,

You're actually going to lead through your own innovative and creative solutions.

This energy is great for entrepreneurship.

It's great for spiritual work,

Spiritual businesses,

And all kinds of creative industries.

So remember,

If you have a lot of knowing circuitry in your chart,

It's so important for you to trust your inner knowing,

Even if it doesn't make sense yet,

To give yourself time and space to allow these insights to emerge naturally.

Because remember,

This energy does come in pulses.

And to embrace your uniqueness,

Because it is one of your biggest gifts.

And if you don't have a lot of knowing circuitry in your chart,

That is totally okay.

You're unique and special in a very different way.

And it's important for you to respect people that do have a lot of knowing circuitry in their chart.

They're not always going to have proof or be able to explain what they know.

They just know it comes through in a pulse.

There's no logic behind it.

And their insights can often be incredibly groundbreaking.

You want to be open to their innovation,

Even if it does seem unusual and strange at first.

It just might turn into something incredible.

And you can also learn from their ability to trust their intuition over the logic that we have all been conditioned to trust.

And then some additional tips for business and emotional intelligence.

You want to create environments that allow for deep and unconventional thinking.

You want to recognize that the best insights often come through solitude and introspection.

In those melancholy periods,

Spend time alone,

Amazing stuff can come through.

Trust the creative process and remember that it moves in pulses.

This is not linear steps.

This is not logical energy.

It just comes through in its own divine timing.

I'd love to hear how this episode landed for you.

Did you learn anything new?

Were there any aha moments about your own knowing circuitry or the circuitry of a loved one?

Let me know in the comments.

I love to hear from you.

Thank you so much for listening.
