What Does It Mean To Be A Manifesting Generator In Human Design?
UNIQUE MANIFESTING GENERATOR QUALITIES
Manifesting Generators are Generators that have a connection to a defined throat/manifesting center. They’re a hybrid of the Generator type and the Manifestor type. Essentially becoming a Manifestor in waiting—able to initiate and make things happen easily, but only after listening to a gut response.
With this connection, Manifesting Generators can initiate more than the average Generator and get new projects started with enthusiasm. Manifesting Generators can be a hybrid of a steady, determined worker and a pioneer forging new paths.
Manifesting Generators are multi-passionate people who like to do lots of different things all at the same time. Manifesting Generators are meant to give energy to what is calling them most at the moment and know that when they start to feel resistance to something, it’s time to move on.
The Manifesting Generator path is the least linear of all the energy types because they are made to do a lot of different things in this lifetime that all contribute in their own way to individual and collective growth.
Manifesting Generators can move fast and pivot quickly. Sometimes Manifesting Generators can expect the world to meet their pacing. It’s important for them to practice patience while others who naturally move slower get on board with their changes.
Or, if surrounded by people who are critical of the multitudes that they hold, Manifesting Generators can begin to judge themselves for an inability to focus on "one path." It's deeply important that Manifesting Generators unhook from external and self criticism that judges what is innate.
Shared Qualities with Generators
Generators and Manifesting Generators make up about 70% of the population and have many shared attributes because of the magnetic nature of their aura powered by the defined Sacral center.
The original human design founder laid out 4 energy types of which Manifesting Generators were a subtype of Generators.
In contemporary Human Design, we speak of them as separate energy types, however their aura functions the same by drawing in the outside world to them in order to elicit a response.
The key difference between Generators and Manifesting Generators are that Manifesting Generators have a defined throat center in their circuitry which is outlined in the next section.
Manifesting Generators have powerful and magnetic auras that can create their own energy and momentum. With a defined Sacral energy center, they have consistent access to a regenerative inner life force.
This creates a consistent, steady, energy output when they use their energy in aligned ways. They are doers, builders, and problem solvers who can sustain steady momentum forward.
It's important for Manifesting Generators to feel lit up and satisfied by what they put their energy into by saying YES to things that are a YES for them and saying NO to things that are not a yes.
Of course, life is a dance of giving and receiving, so it's understandable that you may have to do things that don't feel like a holy hell yes sometimes—like taking out the trash or doing the dishes.
There's a maturity that's needed to understanding that sometimes the big Yeses over-ride what might seem like small nos.
A big Yes might be having a home that feels clean, supportive, calm, and inspiring. In that context, taking out the trash, while maybe not the most enjoyable, is part of your Yes.
What is most important for the Manifesting Generator is that they are not abandoning their inner authority in a way that drains them. When Generators do things just because they can or “should,” their powerful energy can become depleted.
The amount of things Manifesting Generators commit to that act against their authority will determine the overall health of the energy system.
Think of the Manifesting Generator energy system as a boat that when closed and operating as it should can float on water forever. One small (energy) leak here and there might not be a big problem.
It's when there are lots of little leaks or maybe one to two bigger leaks, you can find yourself under water.
Doing something only because "it's the right thing to do" will not work for both the Generator or those in its circle who they're trying to show up for. Minimizing energy leaks allows Generators to take back their power.
The more a Manifesting Generator can understand where they are leaking energy, the more they can call back the full force of their inner power.
The Manifesting Generator aura is magnetic drawing others into their energy field which is why they never need to worry about missing out on life.
When you follow your curiosity and say yes to the things that fill you with joy, you will pull in more opportunity toward you.
If you're a Manifesting Generator, but consistently feel low energy, that’s a sign that something in your world is out of alignment and draining your life force.
Where are there areas in your life that you can reclaim your personal power by making different choices?
Manifesting Generators seek to feel satisfied most in life, but the mind will never be able to determine what satisfies. It’s only when something has been presented externally and Manifesting Generators feel lit up by it and follow that response, that satisfaction will truly come.
Because the Manifesting Generator Aura naturally pulls in, there's not much force that's required for a satisfying life. They need not go out and find something outside of themselves, but rather honor their response to what is already present.
MANIFESTING GENERATOR TWO-PART STRATEGY
THE RESPONSE
“Waiting for an internal response” is a key strategy for Generators which is not the same as the Projector’s “waiting for an invitation.” Generators can generate a response to anything in the environment.
In a world that tells people to go out and make things happen, energetic generators can feel like "waiting to respond" can be a death sentence. But, Generators are in constant communication with the world, looking out at what is in front of them and saying “yes this is for me” or “no that’s not for me.”
And the “waiting” isn’t passive. It’s not about sitting around waiting for life to happen around you—actually it’s the opposite. It’s understanding that life is always happening and the more engaged and conscious you are of what’s naturally around you, the more you’ll have to respond to.
Remaining open and trusting that the universe is here to guide you towards what will light you up, allows your aura to be magnetic and attract in new possibilities.
When you approach life in this way, you are in constant response to the universe responding to the flow of life every moment of every day.
Generators seek to feel satisfied most in life, but the mind will never be able to determine what satisfies. It’s only when something has been presented externally and Generators feel lit up by it and follow that response, that satisfaction will truly come.
THE INITIATION / MOMENT OF TRUTH
For Manifesting Generators there's an added process for initiating. Moving forward happens in two phases. First, there's a gut response that says "yes" to something outside of themselves. Then, once they get started and taste the action, there's a moment of truth.
"Do I want to continue on?"
The moment of truth is important because not everything is for Manifesting Generators to finish. In some moments, Manifesting Generators are meant to be a catalyst for others, and in other moments they are meant to follow through to the end.
Manifesting Generators also move much faster than Generators who lack a motor-to-throat definition (defining characteristic of Manifesting Generators) which is why this added layer of consent and commitment comes in. Their energy will move quickly driving efficiency towards anything that is a full energy Yes.
Whenever a Manifesting Generator is forcing themselves to stay in something because they think they "should," they are acting out of alignment. Once they find inner certainty, they are the most determined at the table with the never-ending supply of energy to make things happen.
Medicine for Manifesting Generators:
Trust yourself, trust your path. Manifesting Generators have the least linear paths out of all of the energy types. Can you release the need to defend your choices when you know something is right for you?
Some may call you flighty, flakey, or scattered, but there is strength in your adaptability and ability to change from one thing to another. Celebrate your flexibility and honor your desire to try many things and have many hobbies. Manifesting Generators tend to focus on breadth over depth when following their own inner cues.
Let go of and pull your energy out of situations that are mostly draining and depleting. We want interconnected reciprocity in life, where there are times where you will give and other times where you might take, but if something is consistently depleting and draining your mental, emotional, or physical health, this is the first big opportunity to reclaim your power.
Manifesting Generators move quickly and their pace can sometimes over-ride their inner knowing. Make sure to check back in with your authority (decision making center) for resonance and give yourself a beat before responding.
Notice when you’re trying to force things to happen because you think it’s what you “should” be doing instead of responding to what’s in front of you and moving from there. Less force, more interconnection.
