In this month’s podcast, I’m talking about the Human Design Incarnation Cross or Life Purpose of Eden. Both myself and my dad have this incarnation cross or Life Purpose. Read the show notes for details, or listen to the podcast for more.

This month I’m talking about living out our Life’s Purpose by discussing the Human Design Incarnation Cross of Eden.

A Life Purpose, or incarnation cross is known as such because it is the sum of your top 4 gates in Human Design.  These gates create a kind of added-up vibrational frequency.  Your incarnation cross is made up of: –

This frequency is somewhat similar to your Primary Energy Center, or Primary and Secondary Energy Centers through your Akashic Records work.

Your Energy Centers represent around 50% of your expression of energy from the Soul.  This energetic expression is eternal and the same life after life.

The sum of the top 4 gates in your Human Design Chart represents a theme or Life Purpose for how your energy may best be expressed in your present life.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could just receive a download of what to do, or a letter or even an email? 

Unfortunately – or, perhaps wisely – consciousness and its’ marriage with matter is a little more complex than that.

Think of your Life Purpose or Incarnation Cross Human Design meaning as a frequency, a way of being, and also a guide.

What you do with it is then totally up to you.  You can ignore it completely, perhaps choose to take on some aspects of it, or even live in totally the reverse polarity of your Life Purpose!

What might be most useful in a podcast like this are some examples of how a Life Purpose can be lived out, or not.

I’m going to talk about my dear dad who passed away in 1983 when I was 19.  This is to demonstrate how applying the frequency of your Life Purpose can go.

In Human Design, there are 192 possible Life Themes or Incarnation Crosses for a Soul to live out on planet Earth.

This may seem like a small number of themes for 8 billion people and counting!  Yet there are many other factors in play: –

We both have the Life Purpose or Incarnation Cross of Eden.

You can think of us as souls that originated from a very high vibrational place where negativity is not such a common factor as it is on Earth.

Now, here we are, incarnated on Earth trying to decipher the incarnation cross of Eden meaning.

Dad had a rough start as a kid.  His dad had to fight in World War I when he was young and came back wounded.

His dad (my paternal grandad) had been gassed in the trenches and lost a lung.  He also lost most of his hair.  When he came home he was almost unrecognizable and died quite young, leaving his wife a war widow.

My dad’s mother had problems of her own, and my dad incarnated quite late into her life.  He was what used to be known as a ‘menopause baby’, which in those days was seen as quite a shameful thing.

His mum struggled to care for him as a child.  So his aunt Nell, his mother’s sister, lived next door.  She had not been able to have children and would make sure he had a bath once a week and a cooked meal. 

This was usually fish and chips.

He worked hard as a young man, becoming a production engineer in aviation design.  He even earned his physics degree in night school by teaching other students. 

By the time he met my mum, he was reasonably established.  They both enjoyed their professional lives for the first 8 years or so of their marriage. 

My mum and dad became young house owners and took care of his mother until she passed by having her live with them.  Not too shabby!

My dad had become aware over the years that he was definitely not living in Eden.

As a family man, he decided to create an Eden of his own, by finding a place where we could camp, boat, and fish every year during the school holidays.

He and his best friend restored a boat they bought for £20 (British pounds), it sailed beautifully and lasted for years.

We had a houseboat and then a caravan at the Newtown River on the Isle of Wight. 

I would get very excited about the holidays every year, because it seemed like Eden to me, too.

My dad would talk a lot about living on the Isle of Wight as an idyllic place, he always enjoyed it and would live his time there fully present with us, rather than worried and distracted.

But then he wouldn’t enjoy his life or his job for the rest of the year.

In one sense, he did live out Eden in his life part of the time, but he struggled to create a balance for himself and us.

It was hard for him to leave the happiness camping and sailing gave him, and return home to work and normal everyday family life.

As you might imagine, this was stressful for my mum and often for us as children. 

Seeing my dad hunched at the end of the dining table, smoking cigarettes every night, and grumping about his job wasn’t the best model of a parent. 

But, in that day and age, it was better than some.

He would have liked to work with wood as a job or even become self-employed as a wood carver.

However, through a job loss situation found himself in a career where he was a production manager for a sewing thread and embroidery silk manufacturer.

I think he found having to be the fulcrum between management and the shop floor quite hard.  Another way, if you like, in which some of his light of Eden was extinguished.

When we have the Life Purpose or Incarnation Cross of Eden (myself included here), it can be hard to grow up in a world where most people don’t have the time, money, or focus to learn how to shine from their inner light.

This isn’t as yet a planet where people have the time or energy just to enjoy the bliss of existence. 

This may sound rather poetic, yet it is one way that the Incarnation Cross of Eden can be interpreted.

The real key to living the Life Purpose of Eden is to focus on the internal experience of life as a light – literally to find the light within.

Energetic resonance will spread this experience to others if we can manage or allow it. 

It’s impossible to influence others’ internal experiences other than through resonance anyway.

If we can make that internal shift as ‘Edenists’ – at least for some of the time – we’ll be closer to living out our Incarnation Cross of Eden for ourselves, and radiating the light of Eden out for others to see.

Becoming a mentor as a parent is probably the biggest role we didn’t realize we would need to do.

I used to get asked to mentor people new to computers at work all the time, even when they were just typewriters with a fancy screen.

When you are put in a mentoring role, how can intuitive guidance help you?

This podcast is about becoming a Mentor.  There are many times when we are called to become mentors, even when it’s not our specific calling and we are not sure how to go about it.

To be honest, this podcast came about because I wasn’t really sure what I was going to talk about!

I asked my Spirit Guides for some help, and they immediately directed me to Caroline Myss’s beautiful Archetype Deck and told me to select 6 cards.

I channeled this student-mentor archetype cycle with Caroline Myss’s beautiful Archetype Cards.

These cards contain powerful channeled archetypes.

Think of archetypes as a collection of thoughts from our collective mind that create an ideal way of being, even a role model.

Archetypes can also be negative or shadowy since we have shadows too.

In this case, though, I am working with the positive aspects of each archetype in the cycle.

This is the information that came through this month from my Guides and from Caroline Myss’s cards.

Download the supporting Show Notes here on PC/MAC, these include pictures and channeled information from the cards drawn>>

What I discovered, on pulling the 6 cards that I was given, is that becoming a Mentor is a cycle. 

How do we become a Mentor in the first place?

Most of us begin as students. Sometimes, in school or college, a teacher directs us to mentor others.

Sometimes mentoring someone (even if we didn’t really want to) can lead us to magical places on the journey where we didn’t realize we could even go.

For me, mentoring people on Wang typewriters when I worked for the children’s Commissioning Editor at Channel 4 television ultimately led me into a teaching and training career.

At the time, I just read the manual because I wanted to make sure I could save my typed work!

So in that cycle, the ‘teacher’ was new technology.

In this 6-step Archetype Cycle, the cards that were chosen by my Guides were: –

The channeled information that came through from this card is that a Mentor is a Student in disguise. 

Wisdom is received and embodied.

The Student learns and applies the knowledge.

The Eternal Student is born.

As goes that saying,

when the Student is ready, the Teacher appears.

I’ve had the benefit of many different and unusual teachers on the journey so far.  When we work with a Teacher or Mentor, it’s very important to let them take us under their wing.

A good Mentor relationship is synchronistic and empathic, with a give-and-take of information so that both people can grow in the relationship.

Two classic archetypes showing this quality of relationship are demonstrated in the famous movie The Karate Kid.

Taking away the information you have received, you begin to move onwards and upwards to achieve a goal.

Perhaps you will move into a new life stage, or even create something.  Anything you learn or embody, in order to take things further, there needs to be some kind of personal growth.

Joseph Campbell’s magical journey ensues, where the mountain is never the same mountain on your return, and the river is never the same either.

On the way, you may grow through personal acts of heroism, or meet with other people who show you the same.

Remember, on any spiritual journey, you may also encounter monsters! These can simply be roadblocks that are intended to help you to grow.

The Light Attributes of this card are passion and devotion.  Unbridled appreciation of someone or something–we may have experienced that.

However, sometimes love can turn into obsession, or be self-destructive.  Perhaps many of us have experienced that, too.

In the cycle of the student becoming the mentor, the journey of loving another is really about discovering Self-Love.

As we learn to love ourselves, we have to naturally go through the experience of having both an open and closed heart in order to know the difference.

The understanding is that we are all one, essentially, in the Universe, we are all entangled, so loving others is always ultimately a lesson about the Self.

I remember after my very first Kryon Conference, and experience of channeling, my oldest child was very small at the time, just a toddler.

Going home afterward, and thinking about that particular channeling, Lee Carroll, who channels Kryon, had used the word responsibility over and over again.

I realized at that moment, the depth of responsibility in taking on a very small infant and helping to grow them to adulthood.

The urge to grow something new, whether it’s becoming a parent, creating a project, idea, or even a movement, or writing a book, once we’ve learned to open our hearts, we need to expand our sense of love.

There also needs to be an understanding that karmically we are always tied to what we create on this planet.

The irony of that is that, at some point, whatever it is we’ve created needs to be let go. 

Whether that’s a child that grows into an adult, or whether it’s something that we’ve finished with, in order to create something new, we need to leave it behind.

The next card that comes up in the Student-to-Mentor journey is the Scribe card.

This card is about preserving knowledge and information. 

Recently I received some interesting information about how to feel freer with information.  Rather than ‘preserving’ information, just ‘stewarding’ it.

So, in the spiritual sense, we don’t own any knowledge and information. 

We take it on, process it, and find a way to re-transmit it in a way that is more helpful for a particular person or group of people.

Yet this information really doesn’t belong to us, it belongs to everyone as a whole.

So, any knowledge, experience, and resources–once we have achieved the Great Ascent, we’ve learned to love ourselves and we’ve created something new.

From those experiences, our knowledge and resources become crystallized into something we can transmit to others.

This is when we start to put together our own body of work, just in our mind, or through actions we take, or even written down.

That is when we are able to begin to transmit this knowledge in useful ways and share it with others.

Almost the final card in this cycle, as you will see, is the Poet Card.

The Light Attribute of the Poet Card is that we express Soul Insights in symbolic language.

What is interesting about the Spiritual Journey, is that when we’ve reached a certain point in our evolution, and we’ve had the Desert Period, we’ve had the Dark Night of the Soul.

We have worked through many things in our life, and our Soul becomes able to spontaneously express our crystallized knowledge, wisdom, and experiences.

At this point, the Poet is born!  Maybe we even start involuntarily mentoring other people, and then we realize that we’ve been on this cycle all along.

The truth of the matter is, that being in the cycle of being a Mentor and/or a Student has no beginning and no end.

If we can keep the student’s mind, it means that we’ll all have the opportunity to become a Mentor, over and over again.

The way I like to put it is that, in life, we’re all on the same bus, but we ride the bus in different seats. 

We all have different perspectives that we can offer to everyone else on the same journey.

This week’s podcast (more links at the bottom of this post) discusses an aspect of Kryon’s 4th Cosmic Law, what you learn spiritually carries over from one life to the next.

The law is

Everything that you learn spiritually in one expression carries over to the next.

This week I was guided to open the Akashic Records of the Gaian Crystal Cave for this podcast.  If you have followed any of Lee Carroll’s work with Kryon then you will have heard Kryon mention the Crystal Cave often.

It’s a location on the planet where we leave and return during the two winds

When we pass through the crystalline cave we record our activities here on a crystal, so that when we return we can collect them again.

 I opened the Records of the Gaian Crystal Cave and a Lord of the Akashic Records moved towards me and flipped open a book with fairly long list, since my question was

What exactly do we carry over as spiritual teachings/learnings from one expression or incarnation to the next?

This week’s podcast (link at the bottom of this blog post) lists each item that is carried over from one expression or incarnation to the next and also contains a few hints and tips to help us with these during the Spiritual Journey.

I mentioned a book in this podcast – Lee Carroll has written many books including the very well known Indigo Children.  Here’s some recommended reading from him to get you started including Amazon Links.

Sometimes we realize we have been slimed by energy. Maybe you felt creepy vibes from a person or place. Perhaps you just feel off and can’t put your finger on it? Here’s some things to work with and check, so that you can de-slime yourself. Everyone deserves a clean aura!

All is well in your world; you are growing and glowing and then – shazam.

You interact with somebody else or get a creepy vibe from a location and you feel ungrounded. Your previously high spirits have just dropped into your boots.

Up until that point in the day, all was good in your world, until THAT happened.

Now you feel emotionally drained, perhaps even physically unwell. Maybe you have been slimed by energy?

You have no idea where all this cruddy energy came from.  

You need a time out, maybe even a day out, or more – simply to regain your balance.

One of my main areas of study has been about the nature of our energy fields. I have studied how our auras or personal energy fields can affect each other.

The energy of other people can affect our mood and sense of wellbeing. Even planetary transits or energy field disturbances can affect our auras.

One thing I have learned for sure is that people can hook into other people’s energy. With bad intentions or just through extreme need, this act can change a person’s resonance or vibration.

Our energy fields can be conditioned by contact with other people’s auras.

In two different energy modalities I have studied are the EMF Balancing Technique, and Human Design.

Both modalities study human energy field interaction in depth.

In the EMF Balancing world, as a practitioner, I have worked with the electromagnetic field surrounding the human body.

When we create a relationship with someone else, we create a quantum energetic phenomenon called the Third Lattice.

This Third Lattice is a balance of all of our energies, ideas, thoughts and emotions about the other person, mixed up with their energies as well.

Think of the Third Lattice as the energetic representation of both of your energies or fields. When we have a relationship with a person, we form an energetic attachment to them.

These attachments are created in our minds and include connections to our mental body through our (thoughts). We also create attachments through our emotional body (feelings).

Multiple Third Lattices can be worked with and cleared. Energy work can sometimes help us to improve a relationship, or release an attachment to a person, place or thing.

If you are sensitive to energy, or more empathic than most – then you may other people’s energy as you walk into a room or meet a new person.

From the perspective of Human Design, we merge with someone else energetically as soon as we get closer than 30 feet away.

Our original Design is conditioned by the energetic aura that the other person radiates from their aura.

This is why we ‘vibe’ with some people, and immediately feel uncomfortable or take a dislike to others.

Here are 3 general ways in which other people can consciously or unconsciously drain energy from someone else: –

1.  Energetic Vampirism – yes, it does exist!

2.  If Someone who needs uplifting – you feel this and help them – even though you are pretty exhausted yourself.

3. A fan of another person, such as a celebrity. It’s not called ‘stalking’ for nothing!

As I trained to become an Akashic Records reader, I was taught not work in the energy for too long. I kept my readings to 30 minutes for the first 6 months, and all was well.

As a new reader, if I went over the half hour reading limit, I felt very drained energetically.

Over time as a reader, I began to understand my own limits and to learn how to avoid over-giving. Giving energy to others can sometimes be a bad habit too.

As you read the rest of this article, be aware that we ALL have energy fields and very specific vibratory rates. Everyone is on the journey of learning to balance their Personal Energy. 

I am quite sure that I have taken another’s Chi or energy whilst working with other energy teachers in an unaware state.

I can honestly say that I’ve never intentionally been an energy ‘vampire’, but who can say for sure what happened when I’ve been out of present awareness?

I’m quite sure that in my younger years I took other people down in resonance to make myself feel better.

Some examples of this are: –

If you interact with someone and you have been slimed by energy, then check for the following: –

Either way, a breathing space won’t hurt.  It may be that you have some healing to do also.

Think of ways that you can set good boundaries with the person and act on your ideas.  

I’ve created a special PDF and podcast to support you with this process.

As we all continue to grow and learn on our spiritual journeys, more people will awaken to their Personal Energy.

Along with this growth in awareness comes a deeper responsibility to the self and to others.

Keep working on your own spiritual growth and share what you learn. It can only benefit all of us in the long run.

It’s a good idea to do the work and clear your chakras and aura if you believe you have been slimed by energy. Use your experiences as a resource for future interactions.
