So Empowering This helped to clear so much of my Projector-ness。 So many questions answered。 This is one book I will be going back to often to get more insights。 Thank you for writing this book！

Let me begin by stating that initially I had no idea why I picked up this book。 My first encounter with Human Design a few years ago had damaged me immensely （along with a couple of other factors coming together at that time）。 It put so many new bad labels on my already weak perception of myself， it just had to go to hell。 And it did。Why then read this book？Because the voice in me that I learned to trust in my years of recovery told me: "Read it。 You need to make peace with this system。""Becomin Let me begin by stating that initially I had no idea why I picked up this book。 My first encounter with Human Design a few years ago had damaged me immensely （along with a couple of other factors coming together at that time）。 It put so many new bad labels on my already weak perception of myself， it just had to go to hell。 And it did。Why then read this book？Because the voice in me that I learned to trust in my years of recovery told me: "Read it。 You need to make peace with this system。""Becoming an empowered Projector" reconciled me with the Human Design system and my design。 It made some very good points that rekindled my thought process and made me see things in a different way。 I got my old notes out， had a fresh look at my Human Design books - and discovered that I finally had the capacity of understanding what all of this meant for me。 But I also understood its limitations。Human Design is the framework of how this body and mind work in this life。 Like astrology it's a blueprint for how the system I'm working with operates。 If I use the tools I have at hand correctly， I can be of great service to the world and every being and thing that is in it。 And this in the end is why we're here: to be of service。 If I choose to use my tools in an improper way， the whole system will crash （if I try to use my computer for baking bread it won't end well。。。）。The thing is （and Human Design does not relate this）: my design is NOT ME。 "I" am / my self is not a projector - my body is， my tools are。 I am pure consciousness choosing to use this vehicle in this life to be of service。 My body and my mind （my tools） are being conditioned by my design， my astrology and my general circumstances （people， places， society， etc。）。 If I choose to identify with the lables the conditioning attaches to myself problems arise。 If I identify with being a projector they will sound like:- how can I ever live with not having all the energy I want？- how can I ever be ready for waiting to be recognized？- why can't I just live a happy and fullfillung life like everybody else？You can also identify with your nationality （I am german）， your job （I am a dentist）， your name， your family， your eductation， social status， money etc。 But in reality all this is not you。 It is only temporary， it will all pass。 No later than once you die all these labels are gone。So why worry？ Why not just use the tools you have been gifted and put them to proper use？We need people like Evelyn to open our eyes， because we're essentially unwilling to surrender to WHAT IS and what cannot be changed。 You can change nothing about the fact that you have been born a projector。 It won't go away。 So all you can do is accept the fact and look at what you CAN do。 And why this "projectorness" NEEDS to be in your life。 Once you learn to surrender （and Evelyn points out the importance of surrender at least twice） and use your tools properly you will stand in awe in front of the riches you have been given。 They do not lie in material success， status， cars， houses， an instagramable life and this might come as a shock if you've lived firmely rooted in the material world。 They lie in the feeling of pure bliss of just being yourself and doing what you love。If god / source / the universe would have wanted you to be any different， he / she / it would have chosen another person to do your job。 You have been chosen because you're the best person to do it。There is nothing wrong with waiting。 You've got all the time in the world。 This life is just one schoolday in your soul's learning process that spans aeons。 What you cannot accomplish now you will accomplish another time。 What we need to learn is to really， truly， deeply TRUST our path and that we're being guided in the proper direction。 Always。 Also when we perceive ourselves as doing nothing。 Right now I am in a waiting period。 My studies and my learning process have brought me back into contact with my intuition and I just know in my heart that it is correct for me to wait now。 While I'm waiting， I notice how I am energetically worked with， how things change in me on the inside， while on the outside I use my time for learning as much as I can about systems I am being pulled to。 Books cross my way at a speed I have never known before。 I allow myself to devour knowledge and I LOVE it。 And whenever god / source / the universe （I phrase this widely， so you might recoginze yourself in it， but to me its God） presents me with the chance of being of guidance for somebody and I am being allowed to try my new knowledge and integrate it any further。Accepting what I can do with my tools as a projector has broadend my vision of what I could accomplish in this life。 I finally have a vision to follow， but it is not me choosing the path。 I'm just sitting back relaxing and letting god / source / the universe choose the direction， presenting me with courses of study， books and people。 You can say I'm properly doing nothing while getting ahead at the speed of light。Did the Human Design system or this book do this for me？ No。 And this is why I can't give this beautiful piece of Evelyns heart the full rating。Human Design （and Evelyn's book） excells at being a signpost of how to properly use your tools。 If you choose to accept and follow your design， meaning your strategy and authority， if you take a look at your activated gates， your channels， your definition， etc。 this system can be a true road map for you。 It can show you the way， it can tell you which potholes to avoid， it can even guide you to recognizing your darker potentials， your shadows。 But it doesn't offer you the tools to work with them。 And that's the crux of Human Design: it presents you with the facts of who you "are" in this life and leaves you to deal with it。 To a beginner the system appears to be immensely complicated and there seems to be no way in hell you can ever figure this out by yourself - all awhile you're under the impression that you NEED to figure it out else you will be never be happy。 So you go ahead and buy the *very* expensive sessions and courses the system has to offer。Something that really didn't sit well with me was the tremendous upselling that is going on this book （and Human Design in general）。 And isn't this something a projector isn't meant to do？ To be pushy？ Still the author pushes her own and Karen Curry Parker's courses and sessions on every other page。 This is something I strongly dislike about the whole system。 It abuses projectors as cash cows。 They're prone to not knowing who they are and what they are going to do with there lives and Human Design uses their desperation to milk them。 There are numerous expensive offers for projectors on the main Human Design website alone， becaus you know， they need more information than everybody else。。。I don't think there is somehing wrong with having somebody explaining your chart our teaching you the basic concepts。 But whenever I see the amounts of money that are involved with this I feel disgusted。 I know people need to live and the HD training is expensive to begin with， but the good feeling of helping others should never come at this price rate。In the end Human Design offers only you a framework of what you can and can't do in this life。 But you'll have to do the healing yourself。 You cannot pay someone to heal you or stop the hurt。 This is a huge misconception of our time: we hurt， we pay for somebody to take it away。Take responsibility for your own life， take responisbility for your hurt。 You can heal yourself。 And there are so many beautiful ways to do so， try as many as you can to find the one you love。 To me it was the science of Yoga that started me on my healing journey。 I owe my life to it （and my Vedanta teachers who opened my eyes for what is real and what is not）。Find a systems that puts you at peace， that fills you with silence and joy。 Once you're peaceful you'll realize what TRULY is you。This book keeps telling you: be happy， wake up happy。。。 But you can't make happiness happen。 You need to discover that is has always been inside of you。 Human Design won't tell you how。 And this is where "Becoming an empowered projector" falls short。 It cannot empower you， you can only empower yourself。 It tries very hard and that's where it gets repetitive。 The same concepts are being presented again and again， the same wording is used and it gets old by the second time you heard it。 The multitude of lists and tips in the later half of the book repeat themselves too many times。Remember: We as projectors are here to make sense of systems。 YOU can make sense of Human Design。 If you're new and feel lost， get a reading of your chart and then start from there。 Human Design: The Definitive Book of Human Design， The Science of Differentiation can help you a lot with further interpretation。 I also loved The Gene Keys: Unlocking the Higher Purpose Hidden in Your DNA which presents a very different look at Human Design gates。 It helped me alot to understand my full potential / tools。The biggest flaw I see with Human Design is that it leaves a higher power （consicousness / god / source / the universe） out of the equation。 And that's why this system won't fill the empty space you feel inside yourself。 You will continue to hurt if you cannot find the missing part to your heart inside of you。 The way can only lead inside。As Evelyn puts it: Heal yourself first。 And then put your tools to work。Can this book be an important dooropener on your way？ Yes， definately， if you allow it to make you think。 I'm glad I read it and thank Evelyn for all the work she put into it。 Today， I'm glad about discovering Human Design， I'm glad that it crashed me down， that it broke all the concepts I had about myself and through years of self inquiry is leaving me with what I essentially am （especially without an defined G center）: nothing and everything。 In essence: pure consciousness。As it is written on the temple of Apollo at Delphi:I warn you， whosoever you are， you who wish to know the secrets of Nature， if you do not find within yourself that which you seek， neither will you find it without。 If you ignore the excellencies of your own being， how do you intend to value other excellencies？ Within you is hidden the treasure of treasures。 Man， know thyself， thus will you know the Universe and Gods。 。。。more
