Sources

Every footnote in the book, with its source resolved to a link. The book’s claims are meant to be checked; this is where you check them.

The book carries 83 footnotes, all in the Appendix. Each entry below shows the citation and its resolved link: an archived permalink where one exists, the live source otherwise (being archived), an on-site cross-reference for internal pointers, a book listing for the cited volumes, or “(no public source)” where the citation has no public URL. Links still marked for archiving will be swapped for permanent archive.org / archive.today permalinks before they are relied upon.

    Ra Uru Hu, email to professionals and teachers, May 2008, scanned and preserved at ra.uru.hu/scan20190227/. The email was circulated in the Human Design Austria documentary archive in February 2019 as supporting evidence for Ilse Sendler's correction of Lynda Bunnell's 2017 anniversary claim that "Ra established the International Human Design School (IHDS) in 1992."

Ra introduced me to the HDS at the early stages of its development. Ra was curious about the way I looked at the system. I suggested that it could be used for therapeutic and medical aspects of physicality. It was a very fruitful period of exchange and supplementation. In 1994 Ra encouraged me to teach the first health course I developed, he was present in the lecture hall and listened intently." Archived

    Haspel-Portner, The Science of Human Design, "Introduction and History," page 1. The 1996 reference in The Mountain Astrologer magazine cited by Haspel-Portner was the first English-language print exposure of the Human Design System to a general astrological audience. The entity Haspel-Portner refers to as "New Sunware America" is rendered in the 1993 contract preserved in Chaitanyo's archive (and treated in Chapter Four of the main text) as "New Sun Services America." The naming variance is consistent with either an evolution of the entity name across the 1993--1996 period or the coexistence of related entities under similar designations. Retailer listing
