Motivation in Human Design doesn’t mean what we think it means.
It is not what motivates us or drives us.
It is not how we make decisions.
Projectors & Motivation
The messenger of Human Design spoke about how using Motivation as a signpost is especially important for Projectors.
Why?
Projectors connect with others through invitation.
An invitation is not a willy-nilly off-hand comment. It is as sacred as inviting a vampire into your home.
This means recognizing who this person is and formally and intentionally inviting them into your aura and to guide you. Projectors are here, after all, to guide. (And please don’t mix that up with lead – not the same.)
Some creative people have extended this vampire analogy to say that Projectors are energy vampires. (We all know that a vampire must be invited in to enter your home, yeah?)
It is true that Projectors are not energy beings, like Generators/Manifesting Generators and Manifestors. Projectors are here to be conditioned – conditioned correctly – and that includes receiving energy from the people who are right for them.
Who’s right for them?
People who recognize them as who they are and invite them. And people who then the Projectors, through their own internal radar, decide if they are, at this time, right for them. A Projector may be a pure Individual (only has Individual channels) and someone believes they are here to support them is not recognizing them. Individual are here to empower, which is very different from “support”, the keynote of the Tribal Circuitry. This is a simplistic example, mind you.
Correctness is not a reflection of value or worth. It is not a reflection of how “good”, “bad” or any other descriptions you can give a person. It’s simply alignment, which is the right people, at the right time, in the right place.
So back to why Motivation is an important signpost for Projectors.
Projectors are not here to respond as their way to navigate life. That’s the Generators and Manifesting Generators and they can respond to external stimuli pretty much all the time. Note that this doesn’t mean it’s a yes for them all the time. They too have an internal radar to know if the decision is a yes or a no. Or a “not sure yet”.
And decisions are what take us down our path in life. Decisions can take us off track, decisions can get us back on track.
If you’re living out your Strategy—what you’re getting is this constant affirmation. That’s why I call them signposts. They keep on reminding you that you’re doing a good job.
For non-energy Types, it’s one of the most important things of all. If they don’t have their signposts, they’re desperate. After all, energy Types living out their Strategy moment-by-moment have more opportunities for affirmation than non-energy Types. And you have to see that for the non-energy Type, that when they’re operating correctly, if they’re a Projector it doesn’t mean they’re going to receive an invitation all the time. And yet, if they’re operating correctly and they do go through their process and the invitations come, as each invitation comes there’s this, ―Yeah, it works. That’s what signposts are all about. – Ra Uru Hu
(Not to make it even more complex – decisions we think we are making are actually what’s surfaced from an inner guidance system and this system relies on our frequency being correct – it’s kinda of an egg-or-chicken scenario, except not – an instant and yet moment-by-moment manifestation loop.)
We use signposts to track whether we are on our path or not. Signposts are resistance and the not-self theme and Signature for each of the four Aura Types. Resistance may be posting what the mind thinks it’s a delicious post on social media, only to lose it entirely.
Invitations for Projectors don’t come all the time so they may not get these signposts as readily. That’s why Motivation as a signpost for Projectors is so important.
What is Motivation?
To understand how, let’s find out what Motivation is.
Motivation is what comes out of us, when we share with other people. It is part of our Outer Authority. Our expression.
We can observe if it is in transference or not. Transference indicates a shift of our signature or home frequency. A shift means that how we are taking in information and processing it is off. This affects our decisions, because we are distorted. Note the transference and pause. Pause and don’t jump into a decision.
Important to remember – Motivation will transfer. It’s like seeing the contrast to finetune our understanding of what our Motivation is, to be attuned to our frequency. We become more and more aware of when it is in transference. This awareness is part of the “training” of the mind to see without distortion. For us to sit at the back of our vehicle, and be. See as the Passenger Consciousness.
