Genesis 1:26 doesn't say "Let ME make man in MY image."
It says: "Let US make man in OUR image."
US. OUR. Plural. Not one God. Multiple divine beings creating humanity as a collective act.
You ARE made in their image. Not metaphorically. Architecturally.
You have 9 energy centers in your Human Design bodygraph. Modern systems call them "chakras" or "energy receptors," but that's shallow language for something far more sacred.
These are living divine intelligences.
Ra Uru Hu—the founder of Human Design—said during his mystical encounter in 1987, he could hear the voices of his centers speaking to him. Not his thoughts. Not his personality. The centers themselves had voices.
Who was speaking? The gods. Learn more about The Nine Centers →
For too long, Human Design has mixed pantheons randomly—Greek, Roman, Vedic, Egyptian—creating confusion and diluting the sacred architecture.
I am restoring coherence.
The ancient Greeks understood divine hierarchy. Their pantheon is complete, consistent, and forms the foundation of Western mystery traditions. Each god has a defined domain, a specific function, and a clear voice.
When you understand which Greek gods govern your centers, you understand WHO is speaking through you.
INFECTED (Monkey Virus Active)
Modern frameworks want you to believe you need to "transform" through invented frequency levels (Shadow → Gift → Siddhi).
That's not how this works.
There are only two states:
HEALTHY (Antivirus Active)
You don't need to evolve. You need to CLEAR THE STATIC. When you follow your Strategy & Authority (silencing the monkey mind), the Nine Officers can finally speak.
APOLLO
The Head Center (Crown)
The god of light, truth, prophecy, and the sun. He illuminates what is hidden and brings clarity to confusion. In your Head center, Apollo governs inspiration, the pressure to know and understand, and the questions that arise from divine curiosity.

Truth, Illumination. Mental Clarity. Inspiration. Prophecy.
WHEN APOLLO SPEAKS (Healthy)
"My mind is clear. I only engage conscious activity of my truth."
IF YOUR HEAD IS DEFINED:
Apollo speaks consistently through you. You generate your own questions and inspirations. Trust his voice. Don't let others convince you their questions should be yours. Apollo's pressure is YOUR divine curiosity—honor it.
IF YOUR HEAD IS OPEN:
You amplify others' Apollo energy. You're wise about which questions truly matter and which are just monkey noise. Don't take on everyone's mental pressure as your own. You're here to be wise about inspiration, not to figure everything out.

KRONOS
