Center in Human Design
Ajna
Conceptualization, mental awareness, information processing
- Function
- Conceptualization, mental awareness, information processing
A fixed way of thinking and forming concepts.
When defined
Ajna is defined — your mind works in a particular scheme and arrives at conclusions steadily. You can rely on your way of conceptualization; others come to you for clarity. The temptation is to overplay being “the one who is always right.” Remember: even a fixed mind is a tool. Decisions are made by the body's authority, not the mind.
When open
Ajna is open — there is no single fixed way of thinking. You can see a problem from many angles and synthesize opposing points of view. This is huge wisdom — if you learn to live without the need to always be certain. An open Ajna is a space for different truths.
Not-Self & Wisdom
Not-Self: Pretending to be certain about something you are not certain about; clinging to ideas to look competent.
Wisdom: Knowing that you don't need an answer to every question. Mental flexibility is your gift.
