Global Cycle Locks & Keys

Global Cycles facilitate evolution by conditioning humanity to see and behave in specific ways. Since 1615 we have been empowered to sacrifice our individuality to work together in building a world-wide society, however, the themes are currently changing in drastic ways.

As we move through 2027 we will continue to transition from tribal support and hierarchal control to personal authority and individual empowerment. This shift will permanently alter public education, business, mental health, relationships and more. We hope you enjoy our running exploration of the changing themes below.

Lock & Key CHANGES

Global cycles of evolution are caused by the movement of our Solar System as it orbits the Milky Way. Each cycle transmits a specific background frequency that lasts approx. 412 years, conditioning humanity to behave and see the world in specific ways. While we have tracked the visible changes of the stars over huge lengths of time through the ‘Precession of the Equinoxes,’ we have not had the tools to map the internal changes that humans experience until now. The Human Design Synthesis offers a way to observe the changing neutrino themes that dramatically shift human evolution and awareness. 

As microcosms of the Solar System, humans are intimately and personally connected to the cycles. Each of our individual G-Centers lock onto the new frequencies, or keys, shifting our personal reality from the inside out. Integration over time creates communication and behavioral changes that allow us to work together in new ways, eventually aligning the external world to our new way of being.

The 8 locks are the gates of the G-Center: 10, 1, 46, 7, 15, 2, 25, and 13. They never change, creating the basic foundation of human identity that is flavored by the changing keys. During a cycle shift, the locks release the current keys in order to lock onto the next. We are currently working our way through the eye of the needle, as we release Cross of Planning to lock into Sleeping Phoenix.

Cross of Planning (1615 – 2026)

In 1615 we entered the Cross of Planning Cycle, bringing the tribal bargain that created loyalty and support within communities. This background frequency allowed us to work together in building and maintaining a global society by conditioning us to give our authority away. Our lack of authority enabled us to conform to homogenized systems in order to gain resources for our families and communities. 

The Cross of Planning keys are gates 9, 32, 40, 62, 16, 42, 37, and 61.

Sleeping Phoenix (2027 – 2438)

2027 brings the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, conditioning humanity with themes of individuality and self-empowerment. As we continue through time we will see our old ways begin to stop working, removing the emphasis from tribal support, logical details, and collective talent. We will accept and allow difference as we begin to discover and live our unique individuality. 

The Sleeping Phoenix keys are 34, 57, 59, 53, 20, 51, 55, and 54.

No one alive has lived through what is happening now, and it has never been more important to find inner authority, or the ability to decide as yourself. Embodiment is the last ark and only answer, however, we can attempt to mentally understand the changes by contemplating the keynote description of the locks and keys below. Let’s work together to align with the changes instead of blaming them on ourselves.
