Episode 474
What if the very things you think are helping your child are actually shaping them away from who they naturally are?
In this episode, Nicole explores how Human Design can completely transform the way we understand children, parenting, and relationships. Rather than focusing on “fixing” behavior or pushing kids toward who we think they should become, this conversation invites a different perspective—one rooted in curiosity, individuality, and energetic design. Nicole shares why children are some of the greatest mirrors for our own growth and how parenting can reveal the conditioning we may not even realize we carry.
You’ll hear the first three things Nicole looks for when reading a child’s chart, how different energy types experience the world, and why understanding a child’s profile can change the way you guide, encourage, and communicate with them. She also shares personal stories about her own son and the surprising ways Human Design shifted her perspective as a parent.
This episode goes far beyond parenting. It’s ultimately about learning to see people differently—without judgment, comparison, or projection. Whether you’re raising children, leading a team, coaching clients, or simply trying to better understand yourself and others, this conversation offers a powerful lens for building deeper connection and helping people become more fully who they are.

Episode 474:
Hello, and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design. I’m your host, Nicole Laino, and we are talking about a topic today that we actually don’t talk about very much on this show. And I’m really excited to do it. And the reason I’m excited for this and the reason we don’t talk about it so much is this show is for entrepreneurs. The mainly, I don’t want to say that it’s only for entrepreneurs, but that is our main part of our audience. So I do try to keep the content pretty in the neighborhood of how could this relate to your business?
But we’re going to talk about parenting today, and I want you to see. And the reason that I decided to do this is because parenting one is such a mirror for us. If you are a parent and you’re not looking at what your kids are saying or how they’re acting and seeing them as mirrors for you, then you’re missing out on some of the most powerful personal development work that you will ever get. But it’s also, I want to show you how the parenting lens and the way that we look at parenting for human design is very much about relationships. It’s how the chart functions between two people, how we see people through the chart. And I think kids are such a valuable lesson because they’re not conditioned yet. For the most part, they’re going to be conditioned by their friends.
They’re going to be conditioned maybe by you a little bit, but they are pretty clean coming into this life at least, certainly cleaner than we are, because all of life’s experiences are put on us. So people wonder, you know, if I’m not living my design, why can’t I? Well, you’re conditioned to not live your design and be gentle with yourself, because pretty much nobody is, except maybe this generation that’s coming up right now where they have parents who have a tool like human design, where they can actually train them or guide them and parent them to actually be themselves. So what this episode is going to be really about human design obviously changed my parenting. I do this for a living. It should change my parenting.
But it’s also, it’s changed every relationship in my life, from my team and my business to my Husband to my mom to friends, every single person, even the people I don’t know, I look at it very differently. Why? Because of human design. Because human design and what we’re going to kind of be touching on here is human design is a lens. It is a way that we look at people and relationships that we have. When we look at it through a lens of human design, we see people differently. So that’s why it is so powerful in coaching relationships. It is why it is so powerful in your life, for your own sense.
Because when you start to look at yourself through the lens of your human design, the stories we’ve had about whether something in us is good or bad or helpful or attractive or not starts to fall away. And we actually get to the essence of something, which is it just is. And that’s where we all need to get to is, can we just be okay being ourselves? Can we just be okay and accept these things that we are, and not just accept them, but learn to love them and see them as gifts and see them as all part of our unique, divine design?
Now, this is exactly why it’s so important in parenting, because I think one core thing about human design as well, I’ll just say this is I think we all know that we’re different, people are different, but at its core, human design is not just showing us that we are different, which is like an abstract kind of concept. It’s an abstract concept to say that we are all different. So it’s showing us not just that we are all different, not that abstract concept, but it’s showing us specifically how we are different. So you might just have a good understanding. If you’re a reflector, you know that everybody is super different than you, like, at their core, that you operate very differently. So that’s going to have an effect on you.
And I want you to think about if you’re a reflector listening to this, or if you’re a projector or a manifestor, where you are part of, like, a real minority as far as energetic types, how helpful would it have been for you to know that when you were a kid or when you were a teenager? I know if I had this when I was a teenager, wow. I can only imagine it could have had a sense of pride in who I was. Not so much shame, which I definitely walked with. I did not feel like I fit in. And if I had known that I’m kind of not meant to. I’m like a lot of people, but I’m very different. And we all are this is how we can learn to appreciate ourselves. So this is why it is so important with kids, right?
Because if you have children, we all want them to be powerful individuals, right? We want them to grow up to be the best version of themselves. We want them to feel empowered, to be who they are and that they are loved exactly as they are. But we also might view them as a second chance at our own lives. Not consciously. I’m not saying that we mean to do this to our kids, but. But we can do that. We can, like, think about how you might be guiding your kid. You might be thinking about, well, here’s what I wished I had when I was your age. Here’s what I would do. But remember what we just said. You’re different, right? Even if you have lots of similarities, there are ways that you are different than your kids or than the kids in your family.
And it can really be helpful if people are open to receiving it. The parents have to be on this, particularly with small kids. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t start guiding the nieces and nephews and people in your lives, their kids, without telling them that you’re doing it. You can just honor who they are, right? Or honor the fact. If you’re looking at them and you can think, if you’re hearing somebody call their kid lazy in your mind, you might be thinking, I wonder if they’re a projector. I wonder if they’re just not lazy at all. Or maybe they’re a manifestor and they genuinely are tired because they aren’t actually doing what they want to all day and they’ve had to conform so much and it’s draining them. That’s why they’re not motivated.
Like, you can start to be somebody who’s curious about that kid in a different way. You don’t have to know their chart, although you can run it, which I do. I run charts on everybody run the birthday and I see if it changes much during the day, if I don’t know the exact birth time. But you get an idea. A lot of times you can nail down type. Most of the time can nail down authority, although that can change. And profile, there might be some swings in the profile if you don’t have an exact birth time. But think about how much you are narrowing it down, though, if you know that they might be 3, 5, a 3, 6. Or if you have those choices, 3, 5, 3, 6, 4, 4, 6. Like, what if those are your choices? Right?
That’s actually telling you a lot about that kid, right? They’ve got a three in there somewhere. They are either a three personality or they have a three phase in their six line which is going to give them that trial and error kind of path for at least part of their lives. How powerful is that? So what I’m saying here is I don’t think that anybody is intentionally looking to condition their kids. Everybody, I think, has for the most part. If you’re listening to this show, everybody listening to the show. Let me clarify. Every single person listening to this show, if you have kids or you have kids in your life, you are a well meaning adult, but you also have the potential to be conditioning all the same. Why? Because you’re well meaning.
And I see this a lot with parents where they’re looking at their kids and they’re like, this kid has no direction or this kid, you know, I didn’t have these opportunities and she’s not taking advantage of them. I keep telling her, you know, she’s just got to get up and do it and you’re not really looking at the kid. Now there is a fundamental problem of just thinking that, you know, what is best for them and not being curious and asking questions about how they could be more motivated and all that. We’re not going to get into all of that in this episode. But there is just this inherent sense of like, well, this is what I would do or this is what I wished I had and that is conditioning.
And even though you have that kid’s best interests at heart, you might be steering them wrong. So today, what I’m going to break down in this episode, I’m going to break down the three things I look for. First. There’s obviously every time I look at a chart, I’m looking at it very differently. Because in episodes like this, the limitation is to break it down into just a couple of things. When obviously the whole chart has a whole story that it is telling about an individual because there are so many pieces in. But what I can give you are the three things that I look for first, where my eye goes to first. A lot of times when I’m looking at a child’s chart and usually I’m working with the parent and the parent is my client.
I do this a lot with my one one clients where they have their kids charts or they have a thing going on with their child and they’re curious so I run a chart, but I’m always looking at both of their charts at the same time and we’re going to get to that. So what I’m going to tell you today the three things that I look for first when working with kids and the key question that sits at the heart of the whole thing. So it’ll be three things and then I kind of have these question that is at the heart of all of it that I’ll talk to you about at the end.
Okay, so before we get started, if you are someone who is interested in guiding people with human design, if you are interested in knowing how this all works on a human level outside of just the information, and really being able to understand how to integrate this with people and guide yourself, then please download our new free guide, which is called the Coach’s Guide to Human Design. You can just DM me the word “COACH” on Instagram. I’m @nicolelainoofficial. We will sign you up and get it over to you right there in the DMs or go to nicolelaino.com/coach and you can download it right from our website. Okay, so let’s get started. So there’s three things that I look for first when I’m working with a child’s chart. Now the first one’s going to be kind of obvious. I am looking at their type.

So what type of energy do they have? This is going to tell you a lot. This is going to tell you potentially how they behave in school or how well they can sit through a class. And there’s going to be different issues that come up with this. So a projector child might be more able to sit still in class for longer than a generator child if that generator child hasn’t had ample exercise time to burn all of that energy off or if they’re older. Again, I think that sometimes that’s why kids who are generators can do a little bit better too when they change classes because there’s like this things to respond to. Like the sacral gets kind of lit up again before they go to their next class.
But when they’re really little and they’re in elementary school where they’re just kind of in the same room all day and going out for recess and all of that, but they’re kind of captive in a room, I don’t like, that’s probably not the best choice of words, but you know what I mean? They’re glued to this one seat most of the day, looking at the same faces and the same teacher and all of that, that can be a bit more of a challenge. A projector child might have an easier time sitting through class, but they might have a Harder time getting through the entire day. And when they do get through the whole day, then they might be really tired.
Or like a manifesto child might have a hard time with all of the rules in school and that will stretch probably for their whole lives. They’ll have trouble with rules in their company. If they get hired by a company, there’s going to be these inherent things that they have to get really comfortable with. And we have to try to find ways for them to find alignment in these structures that we’re asking them to participate in. Right. But at the core of what type is telling us is that type of energy. But it’s also telling us how do they make their way in the world? What are they here for? And let’s dig a little bit deeper in there because when I say that, I’m almost like, well, it’s not really like what they’re here for, it is what they’re here for.
A projector is going to be here. A projector is naturally going to want to focus their energy on like one person and maybe tell them what to do. They might be a little bossy in a different way than a manifestor is kind of bossy. Like a manifesto is just going to do things. They’re going to like, declare or inform. This is what I’m doing. And there’s going to be kids that naturally follow that. And then some of them are really going to want to be alone a lot of the time. So just understanding how you honor who the kid is. And if they’re a generator or a manifesting generator, that kid’s going to need some exercise. That kid is going to need time to blow off that steam.
These are going to be those kids that like, you don’t know how they still have energy at the end of the day. Like, wow, look at them go. And all of these things have benefits and challenges, right? I have a projector child. It is a very pretty calm home that I have. I don’t have a rambunctious kid that was always like, you know, wasn’t a typical boy in the way that boys are described. A lot of times that they’re always bouncing off the walls and they’re running and fighting. My kid doesn’t do that. He has little bursts of that and then he’s like, I need to go chill now. That’s wonderful.
On a day to day, most of the time you’ve probably heard me talk about Disneyland and amusement parks and things like that where it’s like, oh, you pay to get in at $300 to get in person to this park. You’re kind of like, I want to get everything that we can out of this. My kid’s tired. He does not have the stamina that a lot of other kids have that the generator kids have. And he gets super cranky. So for me, knowing that was kind of life changing. I wouldn’t have meant to be a bad mom, but I probably would have been in Disneyland, when we go on, like two rides, we get there, we’re there maybe an hour, and he’s saying, I’m tired.
If I didn’t know that he was a projector and understand his need for rest and honor his energy stores, then I probably would have been like, you’re not tired. We just got here. Because I’m not tired, right? Because I would have said, I’m old. I’m almost 50. How is it that I’m not tired and you’re tired? Like, that probably would have been where my mind would have gone. And I probably would have said some of those things, and I wouldn’t have thought I was wrong. I might have been nice about them, but I might have been like, maybe we just got here. Come on. And instead I was like, you know what? He doesn’t have the energy stores that I do. So, yeah, we need to rest a little bit, right?
And maybe that makes me a bad mom, because I would have said the other things if I hadn’t known about human design. But we all have our paths to finding our highest self and our highest parent, and human design was mine. But type also gives you their signature and their not self theme. It gives you their alignment theme and how this kid is going to succeed or feel like they’re on their path and what are the signals for them. Not so. If you have a generator kid, and they are frustrated all the time and they’re pissed that they’re really meant to be. Like, my son has some friends that are generators, and they’re some of the happiest kids because they don’t have anything that the rest of the world has, right? They don’t have anything that the grownups have. They don’t have bills.
They don’t have a care in the world, right? These kids are taken care of. They are very loved. And they have all of this energy, and they’re just like, life is great, you know? And they’re yelling and they’re having so much fun, and they’re like, what are we doing next? They’re so happy. If they were frustrated, the majority of the time, then something would be wrong. So it’s your way in with your kid or with the kids that you have in your life to be able to see when things are not right with them. They may not even know it, they may not be able to tell you, but it gives you a path for inquiry. How can I ask them about this?
How can I maybe get this kid that’s kind of frustrated and maybe ask them what would make them feel really good and get them back on their path and get them back into their alignment? Energy, where things are going to feel right for them, where things are going to flow for them. And if they’re consistently frustrated, then that’s something to look at. Right? So that’s the first thing, Type. And I mean, we could go on. I could do a whole course just on kids and their type, but we only have so much time here. The second thing that I look at is profile. So profile is telling us who they are, what type of energy do they have, what does their path kind of look like?
Are they going to be more of a doer and someone who’s getting their hands into everything, or are they going to be more of somebody who is like super focused and is maybe guiding energy? Or are they going to be a trailblazer? Or are they going to be somebody who is like constantly changing and how do I support this type of path? Right, so that’s what type does. Profile, though, is who they are, what role are they playing? How do they make their way through life? What are they here to do? So the reason I have profile in there is I do think that this is the easiest thing to spot in kids. I think that this is the simplest way to help them and know what to give them or know what to encourage them on.
Of course, these are all human traits, right? We research things, we study, we have natural talents, we. We try things, we get our hands dirty, we get in the mix, we make friends, we make connections, we learn to speak and kind of put our thoughts out there. And then we have a different form of leadership. That’s the six lines through like a human lens, right? So these are human traits, these are human things. We’re all going to have some mix of them because most likely they will have at least one of all the lines throughout their whole design. But what their profile is, their actual personality profile, it is going to tell you what is the dominant theme for them. So it will tell you a lot. It’ll tell you what their way is.
How do they make their way through this life how do they live out an aligned projector? How do they live out as an aligned generator? Or what is that going to look like for them? Profile, I think for everybody, just one of the most actionable pieces of human design because it does tell you very much about the doing. Some things are very much about the being. But profile is really telling you about the doing. It’s telling you about how you fulfill your role, what your role is, and how you fulfill it in this life. So if you’re a three line and you are researching everything and you’re afraid to try stuff, then that is going to really hinder your progress in this life. You’re going to have to learn.
And if your kid has a three line, it’s going to be really important that you change their relationship to failure, that you teach them that taking action and just trying things is so important. And the truth is that if you don’t beat that out of them, they will probably have that. They will probably have that. We know our design, we speak our design, we live our design. Until something teaches us that it’s not safe, it’s not welcome, it won’t get us what we want, or we’re bad or wrong for being that way. Right. So if you don’t get in their way, they will most likely, if you have a three line kid, they won’t have a problem with trying things. It will be a very natural thing for them.
Your job is to not get mad when they break stuff, because they’re going to break stuff. You know, I look at my husband is a three line and there’s all these stories of like the calamities that he caused when he was a child. Like he drove a car into the house when he was a child, like put the car into gear, into neutral. We’re talking in the 80s or late 70s and you could still do that. That would be very difficult to do now. But before you had to like put your foot on the brake to actually shift the gears in a car, he did that and he drove the car right into the house. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. He had like some sort of angelic beings around him because he was always okay.
But he did all sorts of things that kids aren’t supposed to do. To me, I just look at him like it’s such a three line thing. So he didn’t have a problem with that. And thankfully his parents really just treated it. They let it roll off. You know, they were like, we need you to stay safe. But like they had this sense that he would be okay. And that he was okay. And thankfully they didn’t make him feel bad for all the ways that he screwed up, which there were myriad of ways that he screwed up throughout his life, but it’s actually part of his magic now. So profile is telling you how to parent that kid. Like really how to parent that kid.
And with a three line too, you might say, you know, like, there might be some study that you want to do. There’s always a balance to everything. The emphasis is going to be on this is your magic. But we’re also human beings who need balance in our lives. So a three line is going to probably. They can be a little bit pessimistic because things go wrong. They need to learn a little bit of optimism. They need to have a little bit more of like, maybe they do need a little bit of a foundation. They don’t need a foundation like a one line needs a foundation. But that’s a good lesson to learn for them and you start to understand what are their lessons and then what’s like just good parenting of balancing them out.
And I think profile really tells you that, and it tells you what their personality profile is and then what their design profile is. What’s the balance that we’re creating within this human being? Right. So if they’re a 3, 5, it’s going to be different than a 1, 3. That’s going to be a different three line expression and. And it’s going to be a different person. Right. So if they carry one of the projected lines, if they are a 2, you may have lots of ideas about what that kid is good at and what they should do. And the projection field is. You’re going to want to impose that on them. They have to accept it. They have to say, I want to be chosen for that. And that can be a lesson in restraint for the parent.
Nurturing their natural talents without necessarily forcing it on them. That’s a balance. Letting that kid have their time alone and not making them feel bad for it. Recognizing I have a five line son, I have a five line husband, and I’m a five line. Understanding that we are projecting on each other all the time has been such a lesson for me. And I’m not always passing because I’m human, but I’m reminded constantly because this stuff is in my being of how I operate. It’s like I recognize sometimes where my standards are really high for my son, and it’s because I’m projecting on him what I think he can do. And a lot of times with fives we forget how young they are. I know that was done to me and it wasn’t done on purpose.
There is a old soul maturity to a five, particularly a five in the front and a personality five. There’s going to be an old soul, potentially sort of maturity to these kids, but they are kids and it’s important to remind ourselves of that. And I have to do that. I’m pretty good at it now. When he was really little, though, that was hard. I’d be like, oh, my God, he’s two. Sometimes I forget like, just how little he is. It’s easier now that he’s a bit older because we can have a conversation about it. But, oh, you are projecting on a baby if they are five. You are absolutely projecting that baby and you don’t mean to. It didn’t make me a bad mom. It made me in the program.
I was getting sucked into the energy of it and not being aware of it. And that’s what we want to create in our parenting through human design, is to be able to remind ourselves of the things that are important for that particular kid. Right now, the third piece, you might be like, oh, she’s going to talk about authority. Yeah, not really. Authority is important. I think it’s hard to teach kids authority. It’s important for the parent to know. But I actually look for one other thing before I am like, really digging into authority. So, like, my son is a splenic authority. I want him to trust his instincts. We have to work through some fear stuff because fear is a really big theme for him. And we work on building courage. There’s a lot of this stuff. He also has a one line.
So this is where we get layered, right? Because it’s how everything in the chart is interacting. If you have a teenager, maybe where you’re explaining to them what their design is, then I would get into authority because you want them and you do start seeding this when they’re small, trying to get them to make decisions through their authority and helping them trust themselves in that way. So you want sacral kids to feel like they are getting answer from their body, getting answer from their belly, getting answer from a place inside of them, not from a way that they’re thinking about it or what other people are doing. We want to empower them to do that. We want emotional authorities to take their time with the answers that they give and with the decisions that they make. We want to start that.
But that’s not the thing that I look at necessarily. First I look Right to the center of the chart. The third thing that I look at first in a chart is I look at the G center. And I look at. Because to me, that says so much about a child. Do they have an open G or do they have a defined gift? If they have, is their identity more open, where they have to try lots of things on. I’m going to guide that kid so much differently than a kid that has a defined G center, who probably already has a really good sense of who they are and their own sense of identity. And I want to just make sure that’s in the strongest, most high expression that it can be.
But I see this all the time with kids who have an open G center. I do think that those kids are often. And this kind of brings me to my key question. So I gave you the three things that I look at. Type, profile, G center. That’s like the first things where my eye goes first when I look at a kid’s chart. Do they have an open G center? Sometimes that’s even the first thing I just look at it. It’s like, is that colored in or is that white? And what type are they? What profile are they? And then I can kind of work with the rest. And everything else comes under because this is where we get susceptible. I can’t tell you it’s this one thing. It depends on the chart.
So the key question I’m asking is how does this child’s chart differ from mine or from the parent, or how is it the same? These are the two things I’m looking at now. There’s going to be very clear things that I’m looking at. It’s going to change with every chart. The spleen might not be the biggest thing that we’re looking at, but in that family, it might be. This might be the only kid with an open spleen. And everybody has a defined spleen. They might be really attached. They might have a hard time letting go of mom and dad. There’s all of these things that come into play when you ask these two questions. But how does this child’s chart differ from mine? Let’s start with that one.
So the G center thing that I was talking about, why I look at the G center is I do find that, like, parents like easier than where we differ, right? So if you have an open G center, I have one person in my life that comes to mind where her whole family, they’re all open G center. They all have an open G center. Nobody has definition in their G center. And she is 100% open there not a gate defined in her g center. I think her husband is like that too. But two kids, husband, wife, Nobody has a defined g center. They have this very adventurous life where they’re, like, living overseas and they’re doing all these things where they’re kind of nomadic.
And that is such an open g center thing that I think works for all of them so much because of this openness in who they are and the place that they’re in. The g center is about environment. Where do I feel like myself, and can I allow that to change? Where we have difficulty is when we have a difference. So a defined g center parent, open g center kid, that parent’s experience of self and environment and place is going to be very different fundamentally from the child’s. So when we start asking the questions like, what would I do? Or what do I wish somebody did for me? Or how did I lead myself through this? Those answers are not going to lead that child to their aligned path. They’re going to lead them to what you wish you had, your supposed aligned path.
But it’s a very different path that kid is on. And I think that is really important to understand. So that’s one of the reasons why g center I go to first, because it’s such a fundamental part of who that child is and how they navigate purpose and direction in this world. That’s what parents want to give to their kids most is purpose and direction. They want them to have a sense of purpose. They want them to have a sense of identity. And for those kids that are open there, they’re not going to have that all the time. They have to feel safe for that to be something that comes and goes, that changes. They have to feel safe for it to be like, yeah, I did that for a while, but now my path feels like this.
And to follow that the way that it’s meant to be for them, which can be really triggering for the parent who is like, that’s not really how you should do it. You should really, like, you know, you’ve been going on this path for a while. You should stick with it. It’s the worst advice you can give that kid. So how does the child’s chart differ? And then how is it the same? I think it’s very interesting to look at the sameness in the chart. Where do you have commonality? And there will be some. Typically, it could be a gate. It could be a channel. These could be just centers or a profile. Like, my son and I are Both five ones. But my husband and he are both projectors.
And I’m the outlier in the type area, and my husband is the odd man out in the profile area. And I see it completely how my son and I are the same in our five oneness. Oh, my goodness. And my husband certainly sees it. He’s like, oh, my God, he’s exactly like you. But he’s not. He’s not exactly like me. He’s exactly like me in certain ways, and then he’s just like my husband in some other ways. The focus that the two of them have, their stillness, that projector quality of being able to see things on a deeper level. Highly, highly perceptive. And while I’m perceptive, I work at it. That’s not my natural, like, talent. I have a different way of perceiving things than they do. I’m perceiving through all the things that I’ve done and the things I’m responding to.
They are just feeling it. They don’t have to work at it. They just have to be chosen or be tuned into that person or that project or process or whatever it is that they’re seeing. A clearer, more efficient path. That’s what they do. So the sameness in the chartwhat I think is interesting about that is this is where kids can really be like a mirror of you. You’re gonna see if you have the same type. You’re gonna see how beautiful that type is, and you might see how annoying that type is, or you might see how difficult that type is because you’re seeing it through the kid. You’re seeing it play out in front of you like a little movie, like a little example living right in your house. But this is where the magic is.
So again, it’s this lens that you’re looking at life through human design has changed every single relationship in my life. Not because I know everybody’s chart, but because I recognize that fundamentally, we are all different. And when I see people, that doesn’t mean I like everybody. It doesn’t mean I’m super excited to hang out with everybody. Hell, no. But I am appreciative of the differences. And I don’t immediately assume that everybody should be like me, think like me, act like me, move like me. And I don’t pass it through that judgment filter of being like, well, I would have done it like this. I instead look at them and I say, oh, well, maybe they’re built different than me. And I wonder if they’re a manifester. I wonder if they’re a projector, I wonder if they’re a reflector.
And sometimes I play that game not so I can label them, but so I can start to. And this is, I think, what makes me a good, if not great, human design reader and coach is that I have made such a practice of observing people, whether I know their charts or not. And certainly the ones I know, their charts, I’m observing. But just observing people and recognizing the differences in how people move, in how people work, in the way that they’re functioning. If I see somebody who is angry, a lot like angry, I do notice that I don’t see a lot of angry projectors. It doesn’t mean that they don’t get angry. It comes out of them differently. They’re more pissed about things. There’s a different essence to it. There is a different energy to it. It’s not a scary energy.
Usually when a projector is mad, their anger comes out differently. Their anger comes out in hurt. Their anger can come off in defensiveness. Their anger can come off in bitterness. Absolutely. But if I see anger, like real hot anger, I don’t know if I’ve really been wrong about this, where I’ve felt it. And I know instantly, I’m like, that’s either manifester or manifesting generator. Because even the generators, their anger has a much more good natured feel to it. It feels frustrated. You feel their frustration. You don’t feel the boiling anger like you do from a mani gen or a manifestor. So we don’t want to make people feel wrong for being who they are. They’re out of alignment. So I hope that this helped.
I hope that you guys see how this system, you know, when you start to look at it as a method for guiding people, as a method for guiding your kids. And whether you’re guiding or not, it’s deeply understanding people and having not just an acceptance, but an appreciation for how we are all different and that the world needs all of us. It just needs us in our highest expression. So rather than thinking they should be different, it’s how can I guide them to the highest expression of who they are? Because the world needs it.
