Projector Recognition - The thing I'll never shut up about
Hi, I'm back with some very specific Human Design Thoughts
If you’ve read anything about Human Design, then you’ll know that understanding and working with strategy and authority is the cornerstone of your individual Human Design experiment.
The strategy commonly given for Projectors is to BE INVITED. If you google Projector strategy, you’ll get pages and pages of information about the invitation. And yes, the invitation is critical! However, when you focus on the invitation, it can be easy to gloss over the fact that a proper invitation REQUIRES CORRECT RECOGNITION.
Recognition is the precursor to the invitation!
There is no correct invitation without first understanding and moving through correct recognition!
Recognition has nuance, it has finesse. First — a Projector must recognize themself. Being a Projector can feel frustrating; unnecessarily complicated/existential (how do I get invited to my own life?), or at worst, like a curse (at least this is how I have experienced it at many times during my life) - we are non-energy beings in an absorbent (but piercing) aura bubble. We do not create energy, we see it and guide it in others.
The gift of the Projector is sight, as Projectors are future-oriented beings. Unlike the Manifestor who creates portals with their repelling and impactful aura, we are activated through invitation. Our gift on the whole as Projectors is to understand how to make things better — we’re here to make things more efficient, to guide others into their own destiny, to help people see new possibilities, but mechanically we’re not connected to power like a manifestor or generator is because we are not given a defined sacral (generator) and we cannot have a motor directly linked to the throat (manifestor).
Since Projectors do NOT have direct access to energy, our efforts to create impact fall flat without recognition and subsequent invitation. While we *can* share our sight without invitation, it is not advised.
When Projectors force themselves into an interaction, it floods the PROJECTOR with energetic residue that then needs to be cleaned out to create a clean connection on the next go-round. It’s like putting diesel in a non-diesel engine, you will regret it and it will be a mess to set it straight again.
To be invited we must be seen/recognized CORRECTLY. To be seen we must see ourselves. You can see why Ra said Projectors were the most messed up aura type, it really is quite a process.
A fully realized Projector is a Projector who’s been invited to direct the energy of others. If you want to dive deeper into my thoughts on the Projector - I recently published an article on medium all about this.
What are your burning Human Design questions? I’d love to answer them in a subsequent newsletter!
Enjoy this new moon happening on the 21st
until next time,
