One of the most significant issues with any system, including Human Design, is the vocabulary and jargon used to describe its elements. Invariably, a bigger picture is left out, and then it’s up to the students of a system to ask questions that require deeper reflection and greater honesty from the system.
It’s a common problem that many Human Design students are made to feel disempowered and “lesser than” by the description of their type. In this world, the “doers,” who are understood to be the energy types (Manifesting Generators, Generators, and yes, Manifestors), are seen as more important and more powerful than the “be-ers,” or the non-energy types. In a society where the visible and palpable products of action are given higher value over invisible processes like insight, compassion, and imagination, Reflectors and Projectors are going to be made to feel like unwanted children. However, this perception that productivity has more value than process stems from the culture at large, rather than the Human Design system itself.
Your Human Design type describes how your energy flows and interacts with others, and with the world. It represents your aura and the traits that come from how your energy flows. However, your Human Design is not the entirety of who you are. It is one lens, one way of accessing your psychological, physical, and even spiritual profile, and there are others. We are composed of many different attributes that any single system cannot describe, as they originate from various systems. We are layers and layers deep. We are uniquely complex. When we say “I am a Reflector, or a Projector, or a Generator,” we are really referring to how our energy works, and how it needs to work so that we can thrive.
You have to dig deeper, into your personal Human Design chart itself, to uncover the gifts you were born with. As I mentioned, we are not just defined by our Human Design chart. We possess many attributes that various systems can highlight.
Here’s a fascinating truth: who we are is our core consciousness, and that is our Soul. Our Soul is not part of any system or modality that we use to understand ourselves; instead, it utilizes those systems to help us know who we are and to keep us on our path — our life purpose, or our dharma. Our choice of Human Design type, astrology, and psychological profile, among others, orients us to behave in specific ways and to be interested in certain things. These attributes and profiles also equip us with the talents and aptitudes necessary to fulfill our purpose, guiding us in specific directions to achieve our goal.
Please don’t feel restricted by your Type – who you came here to be and what you need to focus on is going to be driven by your Purpose, and assisted by your Type. Your power, like every Type’s power, comes from your Soul — your core consciousness. Your brilliant Soul will use all the circuits that you are wired with, including your Human Design, to create your right life. If any of us has any power, it is the power that comes from fully utilizing all the tools and resources we were given.
