Thanks Randy for your great description of what self projected authority is.
Your comments on a strong sense of identity are very true and it is
important to recognize him. I notice that what upsets him most is when he
feels he stands for something and he thinks that we don't see that. It is
unfortunate that at only 14 he feels bullet proof and feels his identity is
in question if we are not keen on allowing boundaries more suitable for a 18
year old. No matter how important his identity is his safety is also
paramount so the struggle goes on. It was great to hear about the
cockiness though and your description of talking is also helpful - similar
to a reflector and mental projector. I wonder why there isn't much material
on this in the LYD material. Are these types of authority quite rare?
Trust us to have both in the one family!

Sorry that you felt a bit slighted by my lack on immediate reply. It wasn't
from lack of appreciation, just my process of mulling and thinking before I
knew what I wanted to say. You and others have been very generous in
sharing your knowledge on this. Your support is very much appreciated from
this very far corner of the world....isn't the internet great. Without it I
would be totally cut off from the HD world.

Thanks Janice also for your input. Your reply prompted several others and
was very helpful too. It is the first time I have used this forum so it was
nice to get something back in answer to my query.

Regards

Christine

Hi, Genoa. Your response below has me intrigued. So I need to be sure that I

know what you mean.

Are you referring to where I explain how the young self-projected person
sometimes appears to be too self centered, and therefore possibly viewed as
overly confident or cocky when you say that this discussion seems to always
take place within the non-sacral beings' conditioning by Generators? This
being because the appearance to which I am referring would be from the
perspective of Generators? Because in my mind, it always is to some degree.

This begs for more discussion.

Regards,
Randy Coleman

[HDCommunity] Self Projected Authority - Part II

You know, it's kind of funny how these things work. My spam filter kicked
out yours and Genoa's responses to this and I had to dig them up from the
server's hundreds of other junk emails in order to read them. This is why I
changed the posting subject. Again, so strange.

Another thing is that I forgot probably the most important thing about
self-projected authority. It goes like this; When they speak in the moment,
they speak their truth. Always listen to what your son says when he is just
blurting something out of his mouth. This will give you an exact insight
into what he really feels at that moment. Be prepared, though. As you know,
he can say some fairly incredible things, especially when upset. But this
speaks volumes about he really feels at that moment. So, the next time you
are speaking with your son and he seems to be responding spontaneously, make
a mental note. Also when he says some really off the wall type things when
he is mad, know that he means them at that moment. Though he will probably
want to take some things that he says back later, you get to understand what
he truly felt in that moment.

I have two daughters, one a self-projected 15 year old and the other a
younger emotional generator. This insight helps us to understand that when
our 15 year old blurts out something either just off the cuff, or when she
is upset, we know that in that moment that is exactly what she really feels.
On the other hand, our little emotional generator can say some fairly wild
things, especially if she's down about something. But we know that that is
just her mood speaking and she may not actually mean any of it. The contrast
between the two is amazing.
