34. Self-Projected Authority

Speaker A: 00:00:00

When you give yourself the opportunity to express freely and authentically and you listen closely to what you hear yourself say, then you're able to also provide direction to yourself and that direction to self that you're able to glean from hearing truth come through your own voice. That is your authority. That is your personal truth.

Welcome to the Living Your Design Podcast. I'm your experimentor Kelsey Rose Tortorice.

This podcast is an audio only release of the full length in depth Human Design Foundations course I've been teaching over the last several years.

It is a no bullshit, comprehensive, embodied introduction to the human design system that will challenge your ego mind and support you in your process of reuniting with the unique wisdom of your body.

In episode one, I speak a bit about the process that led me to releasing this course for free in podcast form and I offer a few notes that might be useful to contextualize and clarify what you'll hear in this episode and beyond.

I recommend giving that short intro episode a listen if you haven't yet The Lyd Podcast is part of a larger living body of work, a growing archive of my teachings about consciousness through the languages of astrology and human design, hosted in an online community space where I stay in orbit with my students, mentees, alumni, peers and collaborators.

For more information about how to connect with me and tune in to my archives and ongoing live teachings, including how to access the original LYD course complete with videos and slides. Stay stay tuned to the podcast or check out patreon.com KelseyRoseTort. Thank you for tuning into my transmission of Living Your Design.

It's a deeply personal and somewhat vulnerable share that I feel honored, humbled and excited to release into the world. I hope that it helps you remember and come home to yourself.

Self Projected Authority... Self Projected Authority is an authority that exists only for projectors.

So in the last lecture, Ego Authority, we started to really distinctly talk about the differences between Ego Projected Authority, which goes through the G, and Ego Manifested Authority, which typically goes from the ego to the throat. That's the last iteration of manifestors, right? Because now we've covered all of the non sacral motors.

This is the first of two authorities that we'll look at that are distinct to the projector or a type. And this one is based on the G center, the center for self.

So sometimes you'll hear this one called G Projected Authority or just G Authority, but typically it's referred to as Self Projected Authority. These are projectors who have the G defined to the throat.

So we'll revisit the mechanics of a defined G. We'll talk about an inner authority that's based on the direction of self, G being expressed through the throat. And we'll look a little bit at the variations on G authority for projectors based on which of the 3G to throat channels that projector has defined.

This is an authority based on the G center. The G or self center, is the identity center of the body graph. It deals with our sense of self direction, direction in life and love.

It is based on resonance.

The G center is the location of the magnetic monopole, which is the force that holds together our personality and our design and drives our trajectory through time and space. So I tend to think about the G as like a magnet that kind of pulls us along where we're meant to move. Based on resonance.

I always bring up the word resonance. So we're magnetized towards what we resonate with, and we kind of stay on those geometry lines, those lines of our personal sacred geometry.

So if you have a defined G, you have a fixed and consistent sense of self. You have a fixed and consistent sense of who you are, where you're going, and what you love. This is not motorized though, right?

For the ego projector, there's a willpower behind that. For the G, there is not a fixed will behind that, but there's something a bit more subtle that's fixed, that sense of clarity, of resonance.

G define G. Beings have a specific and consistent flavor and personality. And an awareness of this fixed sense of self can differ based on whether this person has definition that's conscious or unconscious.

But generally speaking, there's a consistency to your identity and the direction you move in life.

If you have a defined G, and if this defined G is your authority, which means it is not defined in connection to anything below the G, it's defined to the throat, and there's nothing below the G defined because otherwise you would have an authority that we covered up to this point.

If your G center defined to your throat is your authority, then all of these concepts that we've just reviewed about what it means to have a defined G, this fixed sense of self and trajectory through space and time, all of these themes in connection with their being expressed through the throat, that sensation becomes the ultimate inner authority that offers correct orientation to everything in your inner and outer worlds.

When the G to the throat is your authority, and this is called self projected authority, G center authority, or more commonly known as self projected authority.

This authority is specific, as I've just mentioned, to the connection of The G center to the throat center, and thus the process of internal resonance being externally expressed. I think that on the last slide I said that there's three channels that connect the G to the throat.

tually four. There's also the: 1020

They can also connect to the 57 in the spleen and the 34 in the sacral. But if you had those gates, you would be a splenic or sacral authority.

So just correcting myself from on the last slide, there's actually four potential channels that would give someone G or self projected authority. When there's no definition below the G. But the G connects to the throat through any of these four channels.

These are projectors who, upon being invited, will find their truth in noticing what they say from the heart, from a place of resonance with their highest self and with their life's direction. And I have in parentheses here the other heart.

Because just to be really clear, when people say the heart center in human design, if, if it's coming from like source material, we're talking about the ego. Traditionally, the ego is referred to as a heart center. But I tend to think of both of these centers as their as heart centers.

I tend to think of it as like we have two heart centers. One is that edgy one that I describe in the ego. It's energized, it's some heart motor.

And the other one is just this place where we filter our connection to love through. We build a sense of self around what we love. Harmony, love, direction. That's what exists in the G center.

So these are projectors speaking from the unenergized heart, from the place of resonance with their highest self and with their life direction. And as I mentioned in the ego manifested authority section, there's some similarity with this authority with self projected authority.

An ego manifested authority. Because we're talking about aspects of heart, either self or will being expressed through the throat. That is what the authority is about.

The difference, aside from the most obvious difference of aura type, is that the ego manifestor is initiating when expressing their motorized heart, while the G projector is attuning to their direction while listening to the way that their true self's resonance is carried in their voice. There isn't power behind it. For the ego projector, it's just this process of expressing who am I listening for? Who am I?

As you hear the truth of who you are coming through your Throat. That's something different than the ego motor that's exerting its will through its expression. And there's power behind that.

For ego manifested authority, everything you need to know is in what you say. For G authority, the self speaks and you listen. For G projectors, self projected projectors listen to what you say when the mind is not interfering.

Once again, when relying on an authority that has to do with expression via the throat, it's important to pay attention to and to trust what you hear yourself say when you're in the flow before the mind interferes or aside from the interference of the mind, this might be the first thing that you say just intuitively what comes up first as you notice your sense of self providing the direction to what's being expressed. Or it might be the thing that you find yourself continuing to say despite the rationalizations of your mind that interject and interfere.

Just as we've been discussing with each of the previous non emotional authority centers, there are in your case with G authority, especially a lot of undefined centers below your authority, right? Lot of open center, not self narratives that are competing with the truth of your inner authority.

And again, according to this kind of hierarchy or process of elimination, this is a more subtle frequency. The G, you're amplifying stronger frequencies through the root, spleen, solar plexus, sacral and ego.

The five centers that are defined undefined below your authority. And so all of those not self open center narratives try to hijack your mind. The true self authority comes from your voice in the flow.

The throat can also be expressed through behavior movement in a direction. So there may be some room to play here with whether your authority actually requires verbal expression or not.

Although typically it is said and taught that the authority for the self projected projector is specifically about what you say. So for example, not really about what you write and journal or type. Now you might experiment with that and find that to be untrue.

But I'm just passing on to you what's typically taught, and you know it is. The G is always connected to the throat through one of those four channels with this authority.

So it is not the G on its own, but the G being expressed through the voice. However, there are some people who have been experimenting with this authority in the human design community who have been.

It's either it's their own or they're teachers of human design who have been working with others with this design who say that it can also be a directional thing and a movement thing that doesn't necessarily need verbal Expression.

Some G projectors report that in their experimentation, sometimes they just notice themselves kind of moving in a direction, being sort of magnetically, again, the magnetic monopole pulled in that direction. And the throat is not just about verbal expression. Right? Manifestors initiate without necessarily having to speak.

This is very much a potential place for G projectors to experiment as well. What direction do you move in through your behavior? Not necessarily only through your voice.

However, noticing the frequency of truth in your voice is the best place to start to develop this awareness. Soundboarding is going to be a concept that we see throughout the rest of the lectures on authority as well.

Because soundboarding is a concept usually referred in reference to environmental authority, which is mental projectors and lunar authority for reflectors. But it can also be very helpful here. So what is soundboarding?

Self projected projectors can benefit from having trusted advisors who are willing and able to listen to them process verbally. However, the self projected projector does not need advice. That's why advisors is in quotes. Advice is more likely to activate the mind, right?

Because now you're in your thinking place. Rather you need. As a self projected projector, you need to talk and hear yourself talk.

It might be helpful to have your advisors, your soundboarding crew tell you what they hear you say first and. Or when you are most tuned into your truth.

So like as somebody who listens from speaking for myself, as someone who listens intently to what I'm hearing, and I tend to listen for voices of not self when I'm listening to people talk.

As someone who's like educated in human design and a fifth line, kind of always thinking about like practical solutions to things and universalizing and summarizing what I'm experiencing or what someone else is saying. I might be helpful for some of the self projected projectors in my life as a soundboard because I'm.

I'm just there to listen, you know, I'm an emotional being, so I know myself the importance of kind of just needing to move through a process without necessarily necessarily attaching to the pieces, right? So similarly for the self projected projector, talking and kind of letting everything kind of come out.

And the idea is that ultimately the self projected projector will start to notice a feeling or a tone in their voice that over time you can recognize and discern to be your true voice rather than your mind being expressed. But it can be useful for these sound borders to just literally like board the sound back to you, reflect the sound back to you that they hear.

So if you get lost in your mind, you might Have a friend that's able to say, well, this is what you first said, or this is what you've been saying about the direction you want to go in, about who you are and where you're going, or as I was starting to say and then dropped off about myself as someone who has learned to kind of hone in on frequency and can myself kind of feel the difference between distorted expression and true expression, I could be someone who I'm not listening to give advice to a person, because again, advice is mental and advice is homogenized. But rather I can let the person know what I heard them say when I thought when I heard the frequency of truth. Right? And.

Or I can let someone know what I heard them say when it sounded like that was solar plexus, not self or root, not self, et cetera, et cetera. So this is what soundboarding is. It's having a being that can listen and either just for the sake of listening so that you can hear yourself and.

Or to be able to reflect back to what it is that you said when you were speaking from the truth. Self projected projectors what makes you feel like you. Where do you know that you're going?

With a defined G, especially as a projector, you are probably often a source of direction for others. All of the channels that define the G have something to do with direction.

And all of the channels that define the G to the throat specifically have something to do with expressing directionality. So these are people who speak in general, they speak about direction. And especially as a projector, these are people guiding others.

So G projectors tend to be someone who is often a source of direction for others.

But with all of your undefined centers below the G, it is easy for you, for your own sense of direction to be drowned out by all of that amplification.

When you give yourself the opportunity to express freely and authentically and you listen closely to what you hear yourself say, then you're able to also provide direction to yourself and that direction to self that you're able to glean from hearing truth come through your own voice. That is your authority, that is your personal truth. Let's look at the channels here. So your voice and your direction are unique and distinct.

There's four different channels that could define your G to your throat. Authority. And as we've talked about with all of these little previews to channels thus far, if you.

If at some point it feels organic for you to do so, you might get some more insight and nuance into how your true authority expresses itself. And you might find ways to resonate more clearly with exactly what it is in you. What this g throat connection is for you.

And therefore what exactly it is that's being invited in you when you're truly recognized.

And beyond the channel level, for everyone, not just G projectors, but including G projectors, there are many, many differentiated nuances below the surface level of your design, below the channel and centers level of your design. And all of those nuances are accounted for in your process of attuning to self. That's carried forward by strategy and authority.

So there's, there's many other aspects of yourself that we don't see in the body graph alone. That when you align with your strategy of invitation, when you trust your self projected authority, those things are carried through that process.

And it's your own personal experimentation with strategy and authority that are going to help you develop an awareness of your own unique process with G authority that's going to have to do with all of these aspects of your design and of your life. This orientation to G authority is just the beginning. And it's a ticket for your mind to the ride of passenger consciousness.

So just being clear that like we don't need to think, this is all mental fodder that I'm offering right now, but when it's correct for you, you'll hear yourself, you'll hear a frequency in your voice and or you'll feel, feel yourself just organically moving in the direction of learning more about it. But for now, just a very general brief introduction to these four channels.

Perhaps there's something here for you to find resonance within, immediately or down the line. If you have the 1 8, this is an individual channel. This is called the channel of inspiration. A design of being a creative role model.

If you have the: 1020

The 731 is a collective channel. This is called the channel of the alpha. A design of leadership. For good or bad, this is about logical understanding.

circuit. And if you have the: 1333

This is called the channel of the prodigal. A design of a witness.

So if and when it feels correct for you, go and learn more about your specific channel that makes you a G projector or I suppose it's possible to have two of those channels, but personally I've never seen that closing in here on this sort of summation of the G and its expression through your throat as the filter for your openness and the spokesperson for your definition, self expression as your anchor.

When you speak about yourself from that place where you feel a gentle but clear resonance that cuts through the chatter of your mental pressures and worries when you notice your truth as it is coming out of your mouth, that is your inner authority. That is you. Your authority is ultimately about who you are and where you're going. It is who you've always been.

It is where you've always been going and nothing, even your own mind can get in the way.

Listening to your energy authority is how you learn, remember to accept, celebrate and enjoy this trajectory that you've always been and always will be on.

As you lean into that most connected and clear voice, you will notice yourself successfully operating according to the truth of who you are and attracting and welcoming in more and more aligned recognition and Invitations.
