In my preceeding post I started with a video from a Human Design creator. Who talked about how a Generators energy in life 'builds' the life around them. It started me thinking, if the same could be said of non sacral types and if not. How would we describe how the non sacral type operates? The normal model of how we interact. Get a job, find a partner, settle down. Is applicable to pretty much everyone in this world I think. Manifestors and Projectors still get jobs and have children. So how would we describe their position other than "building"?
To talk about this subject. To think it through. I have been using actors Human Design charts. The characters of specific actors I have found to be the same as the Human Design chart of the people playing them. I could write theories as to why this is. But I feel that would be redundant. The pattern is unbelievably clear in my view.
It is also clear many times before running the charts if you know what to look for.
To contrast against the Generator then. This post will focus on Projectors. Using actor Projectors to gain insight. Then the next post will talk about Manifestors and probably wrap up the post.
Going through my list of saved chart. There are LOADS, loads of Generator type. In my saved list under 'Andrew' there are five names. Just that one name. All Generators. I have to scroll quite far before I find many Projectors. And the Projectors I have found are themselves several times more than the smattering of names I have that are Manifestors.
Anyway, here is the list:
- Captain Jean Luc Picard played by Patrick Swayze in Star Trek The Next Generation.
- Deanna Troi played by Marina Sirtis in Star Trek The Next Generation.
- Ensign Rowe played by Michelle Forbes in Star Trek The Next Generation.
- Captain Benjamin Sisko played by Avery Brooks in Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
- Lucifer played by Mark Pellegrino in Supernatural.
- Six played by Tricia Helfer in Battlestar Galactica.
- Moraine played by Rosamund Pike in The Wheel of Time.
- Robert Picardo as 'Doctor' in Star Trek Voyager.
- Hercules played by Kevin Sorbo in Hercules the Legendary Journeys.
- Teal'c played by Christopher Judge in Stargate SG-1.
I would say that these characters all have more of a 'heroes journey' than the Generator characters in these TV shows. We do not see a great deal of 'heroes journey' from Miles O'Brien or Julian Bashir. We see heroic feats. But their story does not revolve around those things. Their story is very much the life they are trying to build. Julian and his efforts at romance. Miles as chief engineer and his various adventures with his war history and his family. The same with Neelix, or Seven of Nine or Captain Janeway. These characters do have journeys and sometimes they are classic hero journeys. Like Worfs. But it is rare.
Benjamin Sisko, Hercules, Teal'c and Doctor are all on a very classical heroes journey. We do not really see them struggling with dating in the same way as the Generator types. Such as Tom Paris and B'elanna in Voyager. We see them go on a heroes journey that sometimes, but not always, eventually includes a partner. Benjamin Sisko kind of 'fell' into this romance with Cassidy Yates.
A similar thing with Deanna Troi. Deanna is a perfect example of a Generator. It is what Generators do in their ideal world with a Projector. They put her on the bridge as a counsellor and telepath and she proves her usefulness by reading people in general.
This classic Projector pattern of managing the Generators energy is very strong here. In Supernatural, the main two characters are very male Generators. Lucifers character is technically an angel. So he has to rely on free will (unlike demons). He has enormous power, fantastic power in the first five seasons. But since free will cannot be abridged, he works by manipulating them. By being on the side lines and manipulating their energy.
Teal'c's character. Although classic hero. Is very often in a guidance position. The crew are often asking him questions to which he replies often humorously. His character precisely apes Hercules in that when he goes to live alone he gets in trouble for helping out with everyones problems. Defending people from gangs and such like that. Or you see the other SG team members going to see him when he is meditating for spiritual guidance, as happened a few times.
Most of these characters at some point or other. Articulate their struggle in a way that sucks people in to a kind of heroes journey narrative. Ensign Rowe and Jean Luc Picard in Picard Season 3. Having to fight for recognition. The Doctor has to fight for recognition and rights as a hologram. Teal'c often has to confess to some deep dark secret in his past. Which is not precisely the same thing. But the whole journey of expressing "I feel this, this is important", is relevant. And it is not the same as the more physical victories the Generator characters have. Such as Julian Bashir when he settles down with Ezri Dax.
What it seems to me here is that while the Generators have a defined real world goal. Captain Janeway wants to get home. Julian Bashir wants a girlfriend and a successful career. Data wants to become human. Even if it sneaks up on them. For the Projector characters. They kind of 'just are'. But then they have to undergo a fight that they usually didn't choose. Doctor does not struggle to specifically get a girlfriend or career. But then he is put upon to defend his right to self determination.
In the Manifestor section I am going to make the point that in these shows they do often settle down, but the other half of them has to tolerate the eccentricities that come from their particular "mission". That the other partner (as being relevant to "building a family") seems often to do more of the work. (Like Jordan in Scrubs with Dr Cox, even though the thing was played as a joke of her being so difficult. If you actually take what happened. She is the one that worked on him).
I am not even sure what the pattern is here with the Projectors. As regards to family life or career. Things you "build". Very few of these characters even have those things. The point here seems to be their ability to relate to others and the "heroes journey" they are on.
