THE PROJECTOR MANIFESTO
1. Recognition from others can only come after I first recognise myself.
Self-recognition of my value and my worth is the bedrock of becoming an Empowered Projector. I will never attain recognition as long as I am seeking it out of desperation and validation. The moment recognition will come is the moment I stop caring whether it will ever come at all.
2. The invitation is necessary to preserve my energy.
I do not initiate my insights onto others without first receiving their consent. I sit within my own awareness and understand the right people will ask for it to be shared. I do not waste my time or energy sharing truth onto deaf ears. I do not go fishing for invitations and trust that those which are correct will find me.
3. I understand that who is in my life determines my life.
The ultimate question as a Projector is “who is the other?” I realise that the mechanics of my absorbing and penetrating aura means I take in the conditioning of the other on a deep level. I do not have relationships in my life which serve no purpose — they must always be based on recognition and a fair exchange.
4. I am at my best in one-on-one relationships.
I am aware of the dense conditioning of Pentas and WAs; I cannot be recognised for my uniqueness in groups. I accept the limitations of my aura whilst simultaneously recognising my inherent gift: my capacity to directly penetrate the self and identity of the other through locking into their magnetic monopole. I do not take this responsibility lightly.
5. I invest in my education because I recognise my value is in my intellectual resources.
The more I learn through the mastery of systems, the more I enhance my ability to guide energy. I dedicate time to studying what I am drawn to and understand that this will pay off as recognition and compensation in the future.
6. I cannot afford to be introspective.
When I am too focused on myself, I tend to get lost and more confused. I learn who I am through the other — the other mirrors back to me parts of myself through similarity and contrast. I understand that to be able to “see” correctly my focus must be projected OUTWARDS. I cannot see others clearly when it is directed inwards towards myself.
7. Where I place my attention is everything.
My attention is precious and valuable as a Projector; others may try to take advantage of it. When a situation or a relationship does not serve me, I choose to pull my attention back and redirect it elsewhere. I understand that my attention can be addictive to others, which may have no correlation or true recognition for who I am.
8. I never work for free.
I do not have the consistent energy to output with no reward. I do not have a sacral centre which regenerates every time I go to sleep. I respect my time, energy, and worth by charging a fair price for what I have to offer. I need to feel that there is a correct exchange of energy, which may be monetary or otherwise.
9. Bitterness is built into my chemistry and can be used as a signpost.
When bitterness arises, I understand it is communicating to me that I need to make readjustments to how I expend my energy. Sometimes invitations need reassessment; sometimes the invitation has been withdrawn. I use it as a tool to help me realign with my needs and where I am at.
10. I allow life to come to me.
I understand there is no instant gratification from this process as a Projector. I trust in my own timing; I am here to enjoy life and savour the luxury of time in between invitations. I recognise I do not have to “do” anything and can allow myself to be present in each moment. I cultivate patience and relish the process in the meantime.
