Ready to talk about money?
Do I have your attention?
The first question I hear from Generators and Projectors entering into the Human Design experiment is, ‘but if I’m waiting to respond or waiting to be invited, how am I going to make a living?’’ The mind’s biggest fear, “If I let go of x,y & z, how am I going to sustain my life?”
We are falsely conditioned to believe that if we don’t sacrifice our energy towards what society tells us we should be doing, we won’t be supported.
Did some of your earliest bits of conditioning consist of parents arguing about money? Maybe your family couldn’t afford the things you really wanted? Did you start getting pressured to figure out what you want to do when you grew up in your early ages? Are you constantly flooded by advertisements that are filling your minds with thoughts of “if I have a lot of stuff, I will be happy?” You are not alone.
How many of us have felt frustrated, bitter, angry or disappointed within our work environment and justified this experience by saying, ‘but the money is good?” Or, “but the promise of a better tomorrow is there?” Or, “This is the only place/person that will hire me?” I’m inviting you to start to break through this BS propaganda.
We’ve been subscribing to the belief that money can make us happy, but what is the version of happiness we are being sold? Maybe when buying something that is pretty or shiny there is a happy feeling for a few seconds, but what about later when the dopamine wears off and the reality of the unsatisfying life situation settles back in?
Happiness can be fleeting, but satisfaction? Success? Peace? Surprise? These are states of being that can start to permeate into our very essence so that when we feel frustrated, bitter, angry or disappointed it’s not a punishment. It’s simply a noticeable signpost that we are out of alignment and the readjustment is not that difficult. The shame and guilt combined with all of these not-self themes begins to soften and it becomes easier to recalibrate.
While going through the 7 year de-conditioning experiment with the support of The Human Design System, the cells in our body turn over so that ever single part of us is vibrating with this expansive sense of love and acceptance that broadcasts out to everything and everyone we connect with. We become true vessels of love, continuously giving and receiving this pure expression.
Human Design has a fundamental principle, if you live correctly, the energy that is needed to support your life will come through that correctness. This does not mean that you get the life your mind thinks it wants or that society tells you will bring happiness. It means you get the life that will bring you deep satisfaction, success, peace or surprise on a cellular, embodied level your mind can’t imagine is possible.
Do you have energy to look at the Human Design Auric Type of Generator? If you’re a Generator, do you realize that you have this consistent life force within you (your defined Sacral Center) that is here to be engaged and experiencing satisfaction with what it is generating or building? When you have an expansive or positive response to something, the energy you put in continues to feed and nourish you with the satisfaction that it brings.
On the other hand, if you are initiating from one of the mind’s stories that we can recognize when looking at the themes of openness in the Human Design BodyGraph, is that experience bringing the same level of satisfaction? Is it frustrating?
Say someone told you what to do instead of asking and then you tried to engage your energy out of fear of speaking your truth, does that feel satisfying? Or are you feeling frustrated? Does this nourish your energy in the same way? Or is it depleting, exhausting and frustrating?
Money is simply a means of exchanging energy. If you’re depositing your energy into something that isn’t bringing energy back, is this sustainable? If one of the mind’s stories is driving the energy to be invested in something from a place of lack or scarcity, is this continuing to fuel that story? If energy is invested in building that doesn’t offer energetic reciprocity, where does the energy to sustain it come from? Coffee? Stimulants? Adrenaline? Disassociation? Does this take a toll on the physical, emotional and energetic body?
On the other hand, do you notice what happens when the precious life force energy that is your defined Sacral Center is pleasantly engaged with building after it’s been honored and asked and responded with an “ah huh” feeling of expansiveness? Can we grow an openness to meeting the world as it comes to us and start to invest energy only in what brings satisfaction in return?
Since money is energy, the Generator receives energy by the way it engages with life; if there is satisfaction in the way the energy is being used to generate, there will be an equal amount of satisfaction in the money/energy that is received in return.
When we look at the Human Design Auric/Energy Type of Projector, the story shifts a bit. Here there is no consistently defined Sacral Center and there isn’t the same generative/building capacity. Where a Generator is here to deeply know themselves so that they can know and trust in their response, a Projector is here to see and know the other so that they can guide when invited.
We know that a Generator needs to be asked yes/no questions to turn on the response and get the energy on and building what feels satisfying; so who’s doing the asking? This is the beauty of the symbiotic relationship between a Projector and Generator.
When invited, the Projector can ask questions through what they see, and the Generator can respond with energy that is turned on or not.
The key here is WHEN invited. A Projector is here to be a Guide. Because the aura is absorbing and penetrating, recognition and invitation gives the Projector an opening to deeply take in the other and see what questions need to be asked to help them align.
In order for the Projector’s life to have the experience of success, there has to be a level of system mastery. it is the role of the Projector to learn the way things work so they can be recognized for their ability to guide one person at a time.
If the Projector doesn’t have that consistent Sacral energy, how do they receive money/energy? Through being recognized by the other for their system mastery and gift of guidance. The correct other will see and recognize the Projector, they will specifically want THEM and offer a direct invitation.
The invitation might feel nice, but it’s important to remember discernment. Go to your inner authority, trust it tell you if you are truly being recognized for your uniqueness. Do they see you for your gifts and abilities? Are they offering energetic exchange that nourishes you and feels successful?
The potential gift of guidance within a Projector is hugely valuable to the correct other - when it’s been invited and there’s mutual recognition. As the Projector’s foundation solidifies, the ability to ask for energetic (monetary) compensation that brings success and gives spaciousness for rest while still living in a way that feels correct becomes easier. Asking might not even be necessary, sometimes it’s simply offered. Anything less than this is no longer acceptable. The energy just comes, it comes through invitation and recognition.
On the other hand, if the Projector is trying to insert its energy when it hasn’t been invited and recognized, then the conditioning taken in as they deeply focus into the other will not be healthy for them. It will deplete their precious energy instead of nourish it and leave the Projector feeling deeply bitter.
If you are a Projector coming to the experiment, be very patient with the de-conditioning process. The process is not overnight, it’s 7 years of de-conditioning minimum. It takes time for re-alignment and it’s a delicate process. Let go of the illusion of what life is ‘supposed’ to look like and become open to receiving YOUR life in all of its perfect uniqueness.
I invite you to patiently breathe into this and keep yourself engaged with studying whatever lights you up as life guides you back onto the successful path intended for you.
As the de-conditioning process unfolds, it might be that what the mind thought it wanted out of life begins to shift. The illusionary dream of what the mind thinks will make it happy slowly starts to transform as the process of aligning with the body brings more and more satisfaction, success, peace and surprise into the life. The mind learns to trust, accept, watch and love.
Happiness isn’t found out there, it radiates from inside. It is birthed from a deep acceptance, love and trust in our Selves and in our bodies to bring us exactly the life we came here to live while receiving exactly the energy it takes to sustain it.
The Human Design System is a tool that helps us release the frustrating conditioning of what our lives are supposed to look like and experiment with a practical roadmap that helps us get our lives. OUR lives; in their perfect, colorful, divine uniqueness. Are you ready?
