Introduction

Welcome to a compelling deep dive into one of the most infamous minds in true crime history—Ed Kemper. In today’s blog post, we'll analyze the inner workings of Kemper's psyche through the unique lens of human design, a system that provides insights into human behavior by examining energy patterns and attributes. I'm your host, Corrine Araujo , and I’m thrilled to have you join us as we discuss this gripping topic with my special guest, Rachael Earl, a 2/4 Emotional MG with the Angle Cross of Eden.

In This Episode We Talk About:

True Crime & Human Design

The beauty of human design lies in its ability to offer new layers of understanding to already complicated human behaviors. When applied to true crime, it allows us to explore events, motivations, and life stories through an energetic and often revelatory lens. What new details emerge when we apply a human design filter to true crime cases? As we look into the life of Ed Kemper, we hope to uncover significant insights about his actions and thoughts.

Meet our Special Guest

Rachael Earl, who first connected with me through this podcast’s launch, brings an incredible wealth of knowledge to the table. A true crime enthusiast with a background in both animal science and, intriguingly, a deep understanding of human design, Rachel's perspective brings a holistic view to our discussion. She shares, “One of the ways I taught myself the system was by looking at charts of high-profile serial killers. It gave me a neutral lens to see how energy manifests itself when used in very dysfunctional ways.”

Kemper’s Early Life and Crimes

Born on December 18, 1948, in Burbank, California, Ed Kemper quickly became notorious for his horrific crimes. Interestingly, Kemper has a 5/2 sacral manifesting generator profile with a completely open emotional center—a trait that played a profound role in his interactions and actions. As Rachel observed, “His mother was a sick, angry, hungry, and very sad woman. I hated her, but I wanted to love my mother. And I watched the alcohol increase, I watched her social life drop off, I watched her get very bizarre.”

Kemper’s chilling acts can be better understood when examined through his human design chart. His conscious sun is in the 11th gate, tied to obscurities and illusions, while his conscious earth sits in the 12th gate, dealing with emotions and communication. How these energies conflicted within him becomes evident when you examine his life story—from being institutionalized at 15, to the manipulative and horrific murders he committed.

Dysfunctional Conditioning and Traumatic Triggers

Trauma is a visceral response that manifests as an external behavior. Kemper's childhood was riddled with abusive and dehumanizing experiences. Locking him up in a basement, away from his family, shaped a young mind already susceptible to dark fantasies. Rachael highlights, “The 2/14 channel is deeply related to the Bardo process and the transition after death. Kemper's fascination with death and his death games with his sisters became a way to normalize it for him, reducing its emotional impact.”

The Energetic Pathways of Kemper’s Actions

In one particularly insightful analysis, Rachael draws attention to the frequency and energy dynamics within Kemper's human design chart. His completely open emotional center led to an exaggerated sense of others' emotions, which he often could not handle. This trait likely contributed to his emotional numbness, making it easier for him to commit such vile acts without visible remorse.

Social Systems and Failures

Our discussion also touches on the systemic failures that allowed a person like Kemper to fall through the cracks. Despite numerous red flags, he received inadequate psychological help, often being mishandled by the systems that were supposed to rehabilitate him. “The system isn't realistic with development from 15 to 21. These are crucial years where he's supposed to be exploring his identity and intimacy, and instead he was caged up like an animal.”

Conclusion

We cannot look away from the stark realities and complex factors that lead individuals down dark paths. As we continue to explore true crime stories through the lens of human design, it becomes clear that societal intervention and compassionate understanding are essential. The narrative of Ed Kemper serves as a grim reminder of the interplay between individual traumas and systemic neglect.
