Cosmic Secrets

When was the last time you seriously contemplated your own state of consciousness? A year? A decade? Never?


Now is the time to ruminate, examine, and discover your best self through the workings of the human design system. With clear explanations and concise instructions, Cosmic Secrets reveals the five different personality types and how to decipher which one you are. Once you understand your own inner workings, you can begin to use the included strategies to optimize your daily interactions and live your best life.


Consciousness is a state of being that we often take for granted. But true consciousness—and all the multidimensionality that comes with it—is the key to unlocking a deeper and more meaningful relationship with our own personalities.


Here to guide the way is author Eleanor Haspel-Portner, PhD, whose groundbreaking study—encompassed for the first time in Cosmic Secrets—is the only scientifically documented work on the Human Design System.


Discover the system's basics, its theoretical groundwork, and how to apply that knowledge to its five different personality types. Once you discover which type you are, you'll learn concrete ways to optimize your personality and live your most authentic and successful life.


Sharing her own personal journey of discovery, Haspel-Portner helps readers develop a more profound understanding of their personalities and how the endless facets of consciousness affect them daily.


A stunning blend that encompasses the study of chakras, astrology, Human Design, the tree of life, developmental psychology, and I Ching, Cosmic Secrets urges you to go beyond basic psychology and dig into the true nature of self-growth.

Eleanor Haspel-Portner, PhD, earned her doctorate from the University of Chicago and has additional training as a Jungian analyst, sex therapist, hypnotherapist, and psychic. Prior to her postdoctoral clinical training at Rush-Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, she taught college for three years.


Haspel-Portner has been a clinical psychologist in private practice since 1974. In 1996, she was introduced to—and asked to scientifically validate—the Human Design System. Having expanded the system into a comprehensive model, she decided to introduce her results to the world in Cosmic Secrets. Also the author of Marriage in Trouble: A Time of Decision, Astrology Essentials, and Second-Degree Reiki: A Workbook, Haspel-Portner continues to use her work to bridge the gap between psychology and consciousness in order to inspire others to discover their authentic selves.


She and her husband, Marvin Portner, MD, currently live in Pacific Palisades, California.
