The Projector Experiment Part 2: A Conversation with Mike Litven

In this episode, James sits down with Human Design analyst Mike Litvin for a wide-ranging conversation about what it means to live your design as a somatic, embodied practice.

Mike is a 6/2 emotional Projector with power view. He's on the Left Angle Cross of Alpha. In addition to his Human Design work, he is a writer, cartoonist, publisher, and mystic. He lives in Santa Fe, NM.

He and James met at the first High Desert Human Design Conference in 2021 and spent years as neighbors in Santa Fe, logging countless hours of conversation that probably should have been recorded. This is their first time doing exactly that.

Topics covered:

• Mike's origin story with Human Design and the role of aura in deepening the experiment
• What projector recognition actually feels like from the inside — and why it has nothing to do with the words someone is saying
• The not-self trap of trying to make things happen as a projector
• What waiting really means — and what it definitely isn't
• Attention hygiene and why doom-scrolling hits Projectors differently
• Triple split mechanics: why variety, movement, and different locations matter
• The Generator's experience of Projector recognition — James tracks the mechanics from his own side
• Sacral response beyond the grunt: how to read genuine generator alignment
• Why Human Design stays an intellectual system for so many people and what it takes to move past that
• The somatic piece of the experiment
• HD-informed therapy and where Mike's practice is heading
• Living the experiment long enough that the system just comes with you
