Ego Projector

Ego-projected authority is a rare kind of Projector: the Heart is connected to the G center by the Channel of Initiation (25–51), and no motor is connected to the Throat. A strong identity center is surrounded by open centers, and it's easy to get lost in that openness.

How the type and the authority work together

The Heart is the motor of the will: you either have the will to do something or you don't. So when deciding it helps to be "selfish" and ask yourself: "What do I want? What's in it for me?" The key to your own life is the Projector strategy: waiting for your people, who recognise you and invite you.

How to make decisions

Wait for recognition and an invitation. When it comes, ask yourself plainly whether you have the will for it and what it gives you. While you wait, prepare and study what you'll be able to guide others in.

Traps

  • Promising more than your will supports and overloading the Heart.
  • Agreeing out of duty rather than desire.
  • Getting lost in the open centers and living other people's goals.

Projector: directing other people's energy

A Projector can't build up energy on its own: the people around it provide it, and with that energy it carries out its program. Competing on strength with Generators or Manifestors is almost impossible for it. A Projector often goes through a crisis: it admits it won't beat others at their game — and that is exactly when it discovers its real gift. It sees where others can fulfil themselves, like a coach standing off the pitch and correcting the team's game.

This gift works only after an invitation. Advice nobody asked for, however accurate, is more likely to meet rejection than recognition. When a Projector is invited and valued, it gets results while spending far less energy than others.
