WHAT ARE PROJECTORS?
Projectors: giving double vision a whole new meaning
Projectors are they’re newest type, having arrived in 1781 according to Ra. They are here to be humanity’s guides by sharing their wisdom with us.*
Projectors are kind of like the project managers of the world, because they are really “seers.”
They have crystal clarity, for both themselves and others.
This means they can look at a situation and be like, “Um, yeah, this could be done in a MUCH better way.”
It also means that Projectors are here to know and be themselves, because this is the only way they can get recognized for who they truly are, and share what they are here to share.
*Something REALLY cool to know… the more we as humanity need a certain type, the more they will be born onto the planet. This is why projectors started popping up – we needed them to move forward. Starting in 1781, our bodies began to evolve from a 7-chakra system to a 9-chakra system, and we will not totally understand how to adjust to this until 2027. Projectors are here to guide us through this process.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “WAIT FOR THE INVITATION”?
An invitation is when someone has made it clear to you that they are going to recognize and accept the energy of your wisdom.
It is energetic, and does not have to be a literal physical invitation.
A big misunderstanding projectors have is they think they have to “wait around” a lot until they’re invited. No! It just means that before you try to share your energy with someone or something, you have to make sure they’re the right place to put it.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN I’VE GOTTEN THE INVITATION?
An invitation can be a lot of different things, but like every energy type, it all depends on how you enter the action.
Some examples of invitations:
Someone following you on social media or joining your mailing list
A colleague asking you to be on their podcast/write a guest blog post
Someone signing up for tutoring from you
A job posting online that you can apply to
Someone coming to work for you (this is an ongoing invitation for you to give them tasks)
A person straight up asking you what they should do
Jenna Zoe has a fantastic video where she covers the most FAQ that projectors have regarding the invitation.
(I know it’s a little long, but ABSOLUTELY watch all the way through. She shares some really important things!)
WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE INVITATION? WHY CAN’T I JUST DO THE THING?
Listen: Projectors have a Projected Energy. Their aura is like a laser going into other people – which means their energy depends on how it is received in order to be used successfully.
So if people cannot give a projector somewhere to put the energy of their wisdom (i.e. they’re not receptive to it), that wisdom can come off as unsolicited advice.
Which, and I don’t know if you know this, most people really hate.
Also, projectors are so new to the world as a type. They haven’t even been around for 250 years. The rest of the world often doesn’t know how to deal with them – or how to appreciate them.
They’re kind of like the expert consultants who try to come in and change things in a company… while the employees who have been there from the beginning will say, “Who the HELL are you, and why should we trust you?” The employees don’t see the consultant’s value because they don’t know the consultant.
This is where the projector’s not-self theme of bitterness comes in.
Projectors will get very upset or feel shut down, because they KNOW they have important things to give, but no one is recognizing it.
What’s really going on is the projector is putting their energy into things where it cannot be fruitful – because they’re not giving it to the people who can recognize how important it is.
This leads to:
Giving up
Feeling blocked, feeling resentful, or unloved
Starting to devalue their wisdom and capabilities (lacking self-love, confidence, etc)
The oh-so-familiar OH MY GOD, I’LL JUST DO IT MYSELF, SINCE CLEARLY NONE OF DUMBASSES KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!
To avoid this, projectors must Wait for the Invitation, or rather, recognize the right invitation.
If you do not wait for the correct invitation, you are going to feel like you are pushing, like you are forcing things. It’s going to feel tough and heavy.
If you wait for and accept the right invitation, you will experience the awesome YEEHAW of when something lands. You will feel your signature of success.
The key: You gotta hold onto your energy until you find the invitation that feels right, and then release it full force!
That way, everyone wins.
ONE NOTE: NOT ALL INVITATIONS ARE ABOUT ADVICE
I was recently talking to a projector friend about what her ideal partner would look like.
She was struggling a little bit, because she wanted to date, but the last guy she was with had broken her heart when she felt she showed who she really was.
I noticed that throughout the conversation, she kept saying things like,
“I want to be valued.”
“I want to be appreciated”
“I want him to love me so much for ME.”
See the common theme here? Recognition.
This is so important to projectors – whether they can put words to it or not.
She had never had true recognition or acceptance in her relationships… because uncoincidentally, she’d always felt like she had to hide her true, witchy, woo-woo self in order to get the people she dated to feel like she was “acceptable.”
But all that did was lead her to date people who didn’t appreciate her for who she actually was.
This is why it is so important for projectors to wait for the invitation. In my friend’s case, this means finding a relationship she could unleash her full, awesome energy onto.
Maybe for you, it’s finding a fulfilling job.
Or making new friends.
Or running for freaking office (pour one out for our projector pal, Barry O).
Remember: you can do ANYTHING. You can manifest, you can bring your dreams to life, you can build a business, you can find love. You just have to honor your energy and wisdom first.
Then, you watch the magic unfold.
Are you a projector? Does this resonate with you? Do you feel like you’re getting recognized, or is it time to put your energy somewhere else? Is there anything else you want to know?
