Bambaji on Human Design on Substack

I bring human design gates to life through story, through pattern, and through lived expression. If you’re studying human design or you’re exploring your own chart, this story may help you recognize the energy in your real life.

Meet Peg, who bakes with a sourdough mother older than the street she lives on. She’ll tell you there’s no secret to good bread — only turning up, in the body you’ve got, and loving the thing until it rises.

Meet Vince, who runs the door at The Electric Ferret. He’s all friction and not the least bit sorry about it — because the heat he keeps at the threshold is the very thing that makes the room behind him warm.

Meet Lulu, she sets the Saturday cryptic crossword under the name Magpie. She’ll never force an answer into a blank square — because the answers worth having arrive on their own, usually when you’re somewhere ridiculous, and always with a click.

Meet Mungo: the old film editor who never forces a story into shape. He lays the pieces out, makes the tea, and waits — because the picture only ever arrives when it’s good and ready.

Samson is the strongest creature in the valley, the most willing, and by a distance the most taken for granted. He will pull anything you ask — which is exactly why somebody has to make sure he is left, now and then, entirely alone.

Gate 59 is The Gate of Sexuality.Francesca has made one hundred and forty marriages and not one by accident. She is no schemer, whatever the county says — she simply walks into a room, finds the wall between two lonely people, and takes out the one brick that lets them through.

If your Human Design foundations are done — Living Your Design, Rave ABC’s, Rave Cartography — and you’re ready to actually read a chart rather than read about one, this is for you.In this video I share what Analyst Training (ATL1) really is: what we cover across the 64 gates and their circuits, who it’s for, and why it can’t be learned in a weekend. I’m honest about AI too — I use it for slides and to tidy up my Gatecrashers, but never to create readings — and I share how I teach: as a storyteller, giving each gate a character (yes, Gate 6 is a nightclub doorman!). It’s serious work, and it’s a lot of fun — out loud, together, with homework and plenty of laughing along the way.ATL1 begins Tuesday 8 September 2026 — Tuesdays & Fridays, 19:00 CET, live on Zoom and recorded for you to keep, with a PDF of a selection of the slides. It’s twelve 90-minute classes, and the first of five modules on the road to Analyst Certification. It’s for those who’ve completed the foundations; not done those yet? I teach them too — just ask.I like to meet my students before they commit, to be sure we’re a good fit. So if this stirs something in you, comment below if you’d like to chat. It would be lovely to have you in the room. Would you like to join me? If you are interested, please follow the link to my website that is given below.https://bambaji.com/

Gate 29 is The Gate of Saying Yes.Trevor is a genie, and in eleven thousand years he has never once been allowed to say no. He is about to discover that the only yes worth giving is the one he could have refused.

Gate 4 is The Gate of Youthful Folly.Otto is the man the village asks about the weather — and the only soul in it who will tell you, in writing, exactly how sure he is. It took a marquee in a duck pond to teach him that an honest “maybe” is worth a great deal more than a confident “I promise.”

Gate 7 is The Gate of Role of Self.Cedric is a goose who has never once asked to be in charge of anyone, least of all humans. He simply notices which way the village is already trying to go, and points — which, in Upper Bottomley, is apparently all it takes to be elected leader.
