One of the most significant challenges with any system, including Human Design, is the vocabulary and jargon used to describe its components. Often, this leads to important aspects being overlooked, and it is then up to the students of the system to ask questions that foster deeper reflection and greater honesty from the system.
Many Human Design students often feel disempowered and inferior based on the description of their type. In our society, the “doers”—comprising the energy types (Manifesting Generators, Generators, and Manifestors)—are often viewed as more important and powerful than the “be-ers,” or non-energy types, the Reflectors and Projectors. This perception, where tangible results of action are valued more highly than the invisible processes of insight, compassion, and imagination, can make Reflectors and Projectors feel like outcasts. However, it’s important to note that the belief in productivity being more valuable than process originates from broader societal views rather than the Human Design system itself.
Your Human Design type explains how your energy flows and interacts with others and the world around you. It represents your aura and the characteristics that arise from this energy flow. However, your Human Design does not encompass the entirety of who you are. It is just one perspective, one way to understand your psychological, physical, and even spiritual profile. We are made up of many different attributes, and no single system can fully describe us, as we draw from various sources. We are complex beings with multiple layers of complexity. When we refer to ourselves as a Reflector, Projector, or Generator, we are specifically talking about how our energy operates and what it requires to help us thrive.
To uncover the gifts you were born with, you need to explore your personal Human Design chart more deeply. It’s essential to remember that our Human Design chart does not solely define us; we possess many attributes that various systems can reveal.
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 limited by your Type. Who you are meant to be and what you should focus on is guided by your Purpose, with your Type playing a supportive role. Your true power, like that of every Type, originates from your Soul—your core consciousness. You already have everything you need, including your Human Design, to create the life that is right for you. If any of us holds power, it is in fully utilizing all the tools and resources we have been given.
