Are you a Generator, Projector, Manifestor or Reflector? This is just one of the many layers within ‘Human Design’, which is a new-age pseudoscience for self-discovery that is fascinating to say the least. I had my mind blown learning about it for the 1st time from my good friend Fares Bdeir, who also spoke to me in depth about the ‘Law of Attraction’ and how it led him to NFTs - a topic he’s extremely passionate and knowledgeable about. Human Design combines various modalities from ancient eastern philosophies (Kabbalah, I Ching, Hindu-Brahmin chakra system), quantum physics (neutrinos) and astrology to help people understand their types based on their energetic imprint. It was founded by Alan Krakower during a mystical experience he had in Ibiza in 1987! While I remain a skeptic when it comes to any pseudoscience, I always like to approach new modalities with a curious mind and I strongly believe that things don’t have to be necessarily right for them to be useful. Especially in the constantly evolving realm of psychoanalysis, the ‘science’ is usually inconclusive at best or hubris at worst - so it’s far more useful to find a narrative that resonates well to live the best versions of ourselves. For example, the infamous Myers-Briggs assessment that's based on Carl Jung’s personality types has been shown to be highly inconsistent and inaccurate in recent studies. I think It is equally important to take any psychoanalysis (scientific or otherwise) as a directional tool and not get too attached or culty about it, especially when there's no shortage of exploitative therapists, psychiatrists, healers and everything in between.
