Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, my name is Corinne Oflin and you're
listening to the CalmEntrepreneur podcast.
I am a USA Today bestsellingauthor, non-profit executive and
organizing nerd with over 20years' experience running my own
small businesses.
I teach entrepreneurs,solarpreneurs and small business
owners like you how to organizeyour business, find more time
(00:21):
and deepen your alignmentpractice to experience more calm
and confidence every single day.
If you're looking for thatintersection between practical
business advice and spiritualgoodness, then you're in the
right place.
So sit back, relax and let'sdive into this week's episode of
the Calm Entrepreneur podcast.
Welcome, welcome to the CalmEntrepreneur podcast.
(00:43):
I'm your host, corinne Oflin,and this is episode 29.
Before I drop into this week'senergy type, i wanted to do a
little bit of a review abouthuman design in general, just in
case you haven't picked up anyof the other earlier episodes in
this series.
If you have been listening,then this will be review, but I
encourage you to listen anyway,because repetition is a huge
(01:05):
part of learning And eventually,if you hear things repeated,
they get locked into yourknowledge base and that's where,
like you know, trueunderstanding happens.
So if you'll bear with me foranother minute or two, i would
like to review some tenets ofhuman design.
So human design is thiscomprehensive self-discovery
(01:27):
tool.
It's the most profound thing Ihave found for this
contemplative journey, i thinkever.
It exists to help us navigateour energy and find our way
through our lives byunderstanding how to be our
authentic selves and how to makedecisions that are in alignment
for us and our purpose.
(01:48):
It is incredibly personal, andwhat I mean by that is that it
shows us how we are truly, trulyunique, and this couldn't be
more valuable to us asentrepreneurs.
I think that one of the risksthat we have as entrepreneurs is
trying to figure out the key byfollowing what everybody else
is doing.
And when you understand that,through human design, we must
(02:13):
follow our own path and must notfollow the crowd, that we must
empower ourselves, when you peelback the layers of your design,
it's inevitable that you'regoing to begin to peel yourself
away from the pack, and that issomething that I think has
really drawn me to share thiswith all of you, because I feel
(02:36):
like it is the key to thatconfidence.
It is the key to that value ofmy own initiatives, my own ideas
, my own push to do the things.
It kind of helps you drop awayfrom that self-consciousness and
that worry that you're doing itwrong or that you're going to
(02:56):
fail because we're not meant tobe doing the things like
everybody else.
I mean, i think that enough ofus have chased the things that
everybody else is doing longenough to know that a lot of the
times it doesn't work.
And when we really do, sit withthat need to trust and that
(03:18):
yearning to trust and then justtake that leap.
That's where we find the powerin what we're doing.
So I think that that's why Iwant so much to share this with
everyone in the world.
But I do think thatentrepreneurs need this so well,
so deeply, because when we goonline, we're served all these
(03:42):
ads about.
Here's the thing that allbusiness owners must know and
here's the seven steps to doingthis thing, and here's the three
keys to unlocking worlddomination.
And I think it's going to workfor some people, but it's not
going to work for most people.
And I think that there's thisline that we have to walk before
we figure out what's going towork for us.
(04:03):
And I really do believe thathuman design can be the key to
trusting ourselves in makingthose kinds of decisions.
So there are five types inhuman design, and the type is
your energy signature, it's youraura, it's one of the ways in
(04:25):
which we're unique And eventhough there's only five types,
there's so much else going on inthe human design system that
one of the easiest way to dropinto human design is by.
The first thing you will learnis your type, and when you learn
your type, you learn yourstrategy.
So there is the type, there isstrategy, there is our
(04:50):
definition, there's our profile,there's our inner authority,
there's our self and not selfthemes and there's something
called the incarnation cross,which speaks to our purpose.
So those are the main elements.
There are seven main elementsthat are present in everyone's
chart, which, in human design,is called the body graph, and
(05:12):
each of those seven things areinformed by the 64 gates which
are lit up.
They're defined or open, basedon all the planets and celestial
bodies and where they were atthe moment of your birth and a
little bit before you were born.
It's an incredible and profoundsystem, and what I want to
(05:34):
reiterate is that it's meant forcontemplation, it's meant to be
something that you can use tolook within, it's meant to be
something that you can use toheal yourself and to learn to
know yourself, and I thinkthat's truly what it is that
draws me so deeply to it,because in the short time that
I've been coaching other peopleon their design and coaching
(05:56):
them by their design, it's beenproof that there is an awakening
in store for each and every oneof us.
So if you're curious aboutyourself and you're eager to do
some looking within and reallytapping into who you are and
what that means, and how you canmaster your energy by
understanding and working withyour conditioning, this is
(06:20):
something that I really do urgeyou to explore, and you can do
it for free.
You can get a body graph on mywebsite.
There's lots of places onlinethat you can get your body graph
chart, your human design chart,run for free.
So please do that and learnabout your strategy and your
type.
For a lot of people, this is aton of information, and I even
(06:43):
in writing out my notes for eachof these episodes.
There's just so much depth andit's easy to get really
overwhelmed, but you don't needto have all of the information
to start using the informationthat you have.
So I really do want to inviteyou to listen to these episodes
(07:03):
And, if you're curious about thepeople in your circle, you can
start with the one that is aboutyour type.
But I think there's so muchvalue in listening to all the
different types because it helpsexplain how different people
operate in different ways andwhy.
So I just I love it, i love it,i love it.
(07:25):
But human design can be like arabbit hole and a half, so
there's really a lot to explore.
So if you choose to open thedoor to discover your human
design, listen to this episodefor a simple 101 kind of a guide
for the first things that youcan dig into without really
going too far down and gettingoverwhelmed.
(07:46):
But again, if you wished formore, you can reach out.
If you want a chart readingsession or you want to explore
coaching by your design, or youwant to just drop into our
community and ask some questionsabout your chart, that's free.
You're welcome to do that.
I'll put a link to all of thatstuff in the show notes.
So over the next few episodesI'm going to be covering the
different aspects of humandesign and we're going to talk
(08:08):
about type strategy andauthority.
So, as I said earlier, thereare five energy types in human
design and they are called themanifester, the manifesting
generator, the generator, theprojector and the reflector.
And the things thatdifferentiate the types are the
way that each type exchangesenergy with others, as well as
(08:28):
the way that you use your energyto move about your everyday
life.
And each type has their gifts.
And each type has theirstrengths, and each one of us
has our part to play in theworld.
We all have all of the chart,and I want to make this super
duper clear, because there's notype that is more desirable or
(08:51):
better than another type.
Each has qualities that makethem special and unique, and
understanding your type isreally what this is all about.
So the more we dig into how thedifferent types interact with
each other, the more it'll beclear that we pick up on the
(09:11):
energy of other people that wespend time with and that we have
access to all the chart forthat reason, because it's energy
right.
So the position of the planetsas they transit the sky and the
people that we spend time with,whether that be in a coffee shop
or under the same roof whereyou live, it impacts the way
that you feel and interact withenergy, and I want to really
(09:35):
stress that we all have all thechart And this is something that
Karen Curry Parker, who is mycoach in quantum human design.
She really does make sure tostress that whenever she has the
chance, because it's reallyeasy to run your chart and look
at the places on your chart.
Because when you look at yourchart the body graph what you're
going to see is a whole bunchof blank space and colored in
(09:56):
spaces, and the colors don'tmean anything.
People can design the charts tobe whatever There's.
Usually there's two colors.
One is your conscious designand one is your unconscious
design.
It's your personality and yourdesign.
The colors are irrelevant.
What's important is whether ornot something is colored in.
If it's colored in, it isdefined and you experience that
(10:20):
energy in a consistent way, andif it is not colored in, it is
open or undefined.
You still experience all ofthat energy, but you experience
it in a variable way.
But it's really important tounderstand that everybody has
all of the chart.
In human design It's theopenness and the definition is
what differentiates all of us.
So when you look at your chartand you see the places that you
(10:43):
have colored in and defined, itis not correct to say that you
quote don't have this part ofthe chart, okay.
It just means that youexperience that energy in a
different way than the placeswhere you do have the definition
, and I can't stress that enoughbecause it's one of those
things where it's kind of likein astrology, for example, which
(11:05):
is part of human design.
People will look at their needlechart and they'll say I don't
have anything in the seventhhouse or I don't have anything
in Aries, and that might be true.
That is not the way that youspeak about your chart.
In human design, you have allof the chart.
So I think I've made thatabundantly clear.
But, as you do, if you dochoose to dig into more
(11:29):
exploration of the chart, it'llbecome so much more clear and
you'll learn the language of theway human design works so that
you can lay that foundation andmake sure that you understand
what it is that is being talkedabout.
And again, this is one of thosethings about language In human
(11:49):
design in particular.
This is one of the first timesthat I've come across a system
that uses language that we alluse, but they assign definitions
to things that might raise yourhackles, and the caveat there
is that, i think in 99% of thecases so far where I've come
(12:11):
across a word that was used todefine something, the definition
of the word wasn't necessarilywhat I was assigning to it, so
the meanings aren't necessarilylike.
The meanings are the meaningsI'm trying to like.
A definition means that youhave something to find.
It's not better than or worsethan openness, it's just
(12:32):
different, right.
But we might think that ourdefinition is our chart and we
might look at the chart andthink, oh my gosh, this is my
chart, this is who I am.
And that is also not true.
You are not your chart, yourchart, as Karen Curry Parker.
She describes it perfectly.
She says your chart is not you,you are not your chart.
Your chart should be viewed as acurriculum.
(12:55):
This is what you're here tolearn, this is what you're here
to do, this is what you're hereto explore And this is how
you're meant to do it.
And your chart shows you all ofthose things.
You can choose to ignore theaspects of your chart.
You can choose to embrace theaspects of your chart, and as
(13:17):
you do those things, you willexperience life in different
ways.
And so there's so much there.
But it's really important thatwhen you start to dig into human
design or quantum human design.
There's a difference betweenthe two, and one of the vast
differences between the two isactually the vocabulary, the
(13:37):
language that is being used inthese systems.
It's vitally important that youdon't take it at face value and
that you do dig in, because weoften jump to conclusions
because of the meanings that weassociate a certain words, and
it's actually larger than thatAnd it's more nuanced than that.
All right, thank you forbearing with me through that
(14:00):
very long introduction, but thisepisode we're going to talk
about the Manifestion Generator.
So the Manifestion Generator isa combination, kind of a type.
They have parts of theManifesting type, manifestor
type and the Generator type.
They are like Manifestors inthat they have this internal,
(14:21):
non-verbal creative flow thatmakes super fast connections to
inspiration, like they arechanneling information and they
are under pressure to createfrom the ideas that are coming
in.
But, unlike Manifestors, theManifesting Generator cannot
initiate.
That is something that only theManifestors can do.
(14:42):
Instead, the ManifestingGenerator has to wait.
They get that sacral response,they get that full body, yes,
and it gives them that yeah,yeah, yeah, i want to do this
thing, and that's what makesthem a Generator type, but they
must wait for that externalthing out in the world to tell
them that it's time to act, andtiming is what's key for the
(15:07):
Manifesting Generator beforethey actually do any initiating
In quantum human design.
The Manifesting Generator iscalled the Time Bender because
the way the ManifestingGenerator works is done very,
very quickly And they actuallyaccelerate timelines because of
the way that they work.
One of the things thatManifesting Generators do very,
(15:28):
very well is they multitask.
These are the people who have100 tabs open on their computer
browsers and they have nineprojects going at one time and a
thousand ideas in the hopperwaiting to be chosen.
And the Manifesting Generatorhas an energy that is considered
open and enveloping, just likethe Generator types, and this
(15:48):
makes them magnetic, it makesthem a receiver for everything
that's going on around them Andit also makes them really easy
to connect with other people,which makes them just like a
Generator.
And the thing that makes theManifesting Generator different
from a pure Generator is that intheir body graph, the
Manifesting Generator has aconnection from one of the four
(16:09):
motor centers to the throat, andthis gives the Manifest and
Generator a unique energy aboutthem that is lightning-fast and
very impactful and veryinspiring to the people around
them, like the Generators theManifest and Generators because
they have that defined sacredcenter, they have to burn
through all of their energyevery single day in order to be
(16:32):
able to rest.
They cannot start the next day.
They can't wake up tomorrowfully charged and ready to go if
they did not burn everything uptoday.
And this is not burnout, thisis burning up, this is expending
all of that energy.
And because they have thesacred definition, these are the
people who arefollow-throughers.
The sacred is this non-stopmotor.
It's a self-generating motor,it doesn't need to be
(16:55):
replenished, it's this endlesssupply.
So the Manifest and Generatorsare the follow-throughers.
They're the people who can notonly start the projects, but
they can see them through tocompletion.
The challenge with this energycomes from that follow-through
nature, because everyone elsearound the Manifest and
Generator can also see that inthem.
(17:16):
They can see that you're a doer, they can see that the Manifest
and Generator is going to getthings done.
And that puts them at risk ofbeing used by other people,
because they're going to say yes, of course I can take that on,
of course I can do that thingAnd, depending on how their
conditioning presents, theymight be a people pleaser That's
(17:37):
a risk that comes with thistype of energy So they can fall
into the trap of being takenadvantage of and getting roped
into projects that theyotherwise would not have had any
interest in and they would havesaid no to, and this then drops
them out of alignment Andthat's where we get some
frustration, we might get someresentment, we might get some
anger, and it makes lifedifficult for the Manifest and
(17:59):
Generators.
So, in the process of exploringyourself, if you are a Manifest
and Generator, you would wantto explore the places where you
are sacrificing yourself inorder to see to the needs of
other people before your own.
And this is not to say that youshould not be serving other
people.
You should be serving peoplefrom a place of service, not
martyrdom.
You should not be sacrificingyour well-being in order to
(18:23):
serve someone else's because theenergy exchange is going to be
off in those cases.
Manifest and Generators are hereto break the mold.
They are here to push thelimits.
They are here to explore thatline, that leading edge of what
we think is possible, and theircreativity is expressed in a way
that pushes humanity forward.
The Manifest and Generatorsmake up the largest portion of
(18:46):
the population in human design,with over 33% of the world being
this type.
And this makes sense when youthink about it, because the
world needs to continue to pushand expand and to grow and to
build, and the Manifest andGenerators are the builders.
They're the ones who movequickly enough to have that as
(19:07):
part of their purpose.
But, again, the Manifest andGenerator cannot initiate
anything.
And this is not to say that ifyou are a Manifest and Generator
, that you can't start something.
You can do that, but you do soagainst your energy type, you do
so against your strategy, andso it would be actually easier
and you would actually have moreflow if you followed your
(19:29):
strategy.
So you should not initiate as aManifest and Generator.
When acting according tostrategy, the Manifest and
Generator would wait to respond,and I touched on this when I
spoke about the Generator types,because this is something that
these two types share, and thefirst time that I heard about
the strategy of responding, itdidn't make any sense to me Like
(19:51):
this is one of those words.
It's like to respond, like whatdoes that mean?
And I am a Manifest andGenerator type, so I was really
confused about what it meant torespond because I don't have the
weight for anybody to do thingsLike.
I have control over my scheduleand my decisions to do things
right.
That's not what it's about.
(20:12):
But now that I understand whatit means to respond, it makes
perfect sense And it kind ofdrops into this magical place
where it feels like somethingfantastical is happening around
me.
So the way that the strategyworks for the Manifest and
Generator is they're thinkingabout doing something right.
They come across something inthe world and it lights them up
and you get this full body,sacral response and this fire is
(20:34):
lit And you get this full body,yes, to do something, to learn
something, to do whatever, butremember that the Manifest and
Generator cannot initiate.
Their strategy is to respond.
So once that thing has lit meup and I know that I want to do
this thing, i have to wait forsomething in my external reality
(20:54):
to reflect that back to me, sothat I know that the timing is
right and then I can act And Itrust me.
I know that this sounds bananasto somebody who, if you are,
someone who is not familiar atall with human design and you
know, i'm new to human designand I know a lot of my listeners
would then possibly have beencoming along with me to this,
(21:20):
because a lot of the clientsthat I've worked with like, okay
, so tell me about this thing,karen, and, like you know, make
it, make it not sound bananas.
And oh my God, i don't know howto make it not sound bananas,
because it's one of those thingsthat you really just have to
experience, but it is.
It is really something else.
So if you are a Generator typeand that means that you're a
Generator or a Manifest andGenerator and you allow yourself
(21:43):
to live by your strategy andfollow the yes, but wait to
respond, you'll see what I mean.
This is synchronicity, this isserendipity, this is those
strange coincidences that pop upwhen you find yourself saying,
oh my God, that is so strange.
I was just talking about this,i was just thinking about this.
You know, i was just journalingabout this this morning and
(22:04):
here it is showing up in thisrandom place.
Right, it can show up in anyway And it doesn't need to be
specific at all.
Like, the way that it comes isnot specific.
It could be totally random, itcould be something very small,
it could be a commercial on theradio, it could be a billboard
on the road, it could besomebody around you saying
(22:25):
something to you that clicks.
The only requirement is thatit's external.
It cannot come from within.
And this is really kind offrustrating for the
generatotypes because whentrying to figure out how to
solve a problem or how to make adecision about something, the
manufacturing generator can'task themselves should I do this
thing, yes or no?
Because the yes or no has tocome from outside.
(22:47):
So one of the strategies for amanufacturing generator or a
pure generator because they alsohave the defined sacral is to
have somebody ask them yes andno questions.
And this can actually be donedeliberately.
There's something called thesacral sessions that we can do,
and it's something that I can doas a coach for you.
But you could also write yourquestions down and hand them to
(23:11):
someone else and have them askthe questions And, as the
manufacturing generator, youwould then have that impulse,
that instinctive initialresponse.
That's the sacral giving youthe yes, no, and that is
something that is unique to thegeneratotypes.
In manufacturing generators andin generators, the initial hit,
(23:32):
the sacral response, is almostalways a uh-uh or uh-huh.
It's quick and it's a bodysound.
It's not in your head.
The exception to this ismanufacturing generators would
potentially some people do, somepeople don't have a certain
channel defined in their charts,which then would change that
(23:53):
sound to something else.
Again, i'm not going into theweeds on this one.
So the yes no can bemanufactured by making other
people ask you yes, no questionsthat you could actually write
down and say hey, here's a list.
Please ask me these questionsso that I can solve this dilemma
that I'm having.
The only caveat is that theclarity cannot come from within.
(24:16):
You can't ask yourself yes, noquestions.
I've tried it.
I've asked other manufacturinggenerators and other
generatotypes And it's thisconundrum that we have.
It's like I don't understand,but the reason is because when
you do that, the answer iscoming from your head, not from
your body, so it's really justsomething else.
So, as a manufacturing generator, when you're listening to your
(24:38):
body and responding according toyour strategy, there's going to
be this yes, no to everything,and it's important to know that
if the answer is no, it doesn'talways mean no forever.
It might just be no for now,and this can change at some
point in the future.
It could be like in an hour, itcould be in a month, it could
be in a year, but because themanufacturing generator is now
(24:59):
paying attention to the inputfrom the external world, they
will be ready for that thingwhen it comes back and confirms
yeah, okay, i told you no backthen, but now it's a yes, and
the reason for this has to dowith divine timing.
It's divine timing is in playAnd when the energetics are
(25:20):
right and the universe is signalto you is now it is time, it's.
There's really no other way toknow that unless you've
experienced it.
So if you are a generator or amanufacturing generator out
there who has experienced this,i would love to hear from you.
You can email me or drop intoour community.
(25:41):
I am enthralled with thesestories because it's magnificent
to see it, because once youunderstand that it actually is a
thing and it's not just thisweird coincidence, then you
start to chase it and you startto wait for it and you start to
like, really try to.
You know manufacturing theopportunities, but you're really
(26:01):
aware how many of theseopportunities there are to get
that alignment, confirmation inreal time, and I have several
clients who are manufacturinggenerators who have experienced
this as well, and theconversations we have when it
happens like we can't help, butlike pick up the phone and call
(26:22):
each other because we have tohear it to those voices, and
it's like, oh my God, you won'tbelieve what just happened.
I was, and we're marveling athow spectacular it is when you
truly surrender and trust Andthen the universe proves it
right back to you.
The universe has got your backAnd this is the universe has all
of our backs, regardless ofyour strategy and regardless of
(26:43):
your type.
But for the manufacturinggenerator and the generator, the
, the sacral kickback and thatresponse, confirmation happens
right there.
It's visible.
It's visible.
You could see it and you feelit, and it feels like magic.
So for anyone out there who isnot sure what to make of this, i
(27:04):
urge you to run your chart andyou could do it for free again
on my website.
There's other websites outthere.
You could do it on.
Learn your type, read aboutyour strategy and play with it,
test it, give it a week, forceyourself to live by your
strategy for seven days and thenreport back to me, because it
doesn't take seven days.
You're going to have that.
You're going to have instanceswhere your type is speaking to
(27:26):
you, your strategy is speakingto you and your energy is going
to respond because you're payingattention to it and you're
learning how to read your bodyfor it all.
That is something that so far,for me and my clients and my
friends and my family, that isthe thing that has cemented the
truth of human design for a lotof people that have been newly
(27:46):
initiated into the power of thissystem.
Many of the people who I haveinteracted with come into human
design with curiosity, becausethey've heard me talk about it
and I'm so lit up about it Myexcitement is contagious.
Maybe they just check it outbecause they're unsure of what
(28:06):
to think, and maybe they're likeme and they're born skeptical.
But I'll tell you that simplylearning strategy and type is
enough.
It's enough to break open thatwindow.
It's enough to rip off the doorbecause as soon as you start
paying attention to it, you seeit.
If you are human design curious, i really do urge you to dip a
toe in and see what you think ofit.
(28:27):
It's not a divination tool, it'snot a fortune telling device.
It's a contemplation tool.
It's an inner work tool.
It's shining a light on you tohelp you understand you.
It's just powerful If you'reable to look within, you are
(28:48):
automatically on a growth path.
There's no way to look withinand not grow.
I don't know of another path togrowth.
You have to look within andhuman design really does give
you a roadmap.
Right, it's a blueprint, it'san energy blueprint.
Karen Curry Parker talks aboutit as a template.
(29:09):
You know it's our curriculum,it's a way forward and it's just
, it's profound.
So when you are not operatingaccording to your strategy, the
emotional theme shows up.
Right, and for a manufacturinggenerator, the emotional theme
is two parts.
They have the manifesting partand the generating part.
They have frustration and angerAnd if you recall the
(29:33):
manifestors, emotional theme wasanger and the generator type
was frustration.
And in this way they are trulythe manifesting.
The manifesting generator istruly the hybrid, like in this
one way in their emotionalthemes, because the manifesting
generator has that internal,nonverbal creative flow That is
(29:54):
a direct line, that is a channelfor inspiration.
Right, you're connected tosource and there's this pressure
to channel all this energy andto create.
And so the manifestinggenerator is moving so quickly
that when they are interrupted,when that energy flow is cut,
they stop channeling.
But it's still coming, itexplodes out of them and it
(30:15):
looks like anger.
And it's not actually anger, itjust presents as anger.
It's not directed at a person,it's just the way that that
energy looks when it breaks,when that flow is broken.
So part of the manifestinggenerator strategy to be
proactive against that flowbeing disrupted is to inform.
And if you recall themanifester, the manifester's
(30:39):
strategy is to inform.
And this is informing peoplewho will be impacted by the
actions that you're going totake.
And ironically, the manifesterand the manifesting generator
doesn't want to inform.
It goes against their nature toinform and that comes out of
fear of being controlled andhaving their autonomy taken away
.
But informing is not asking forpermission, it's straight up
(31:02):
letting people know what's aboutto happen so they can leave you
alone and let it happen.
But the manifesting generatoralso has the theme of
frustration And the frustrationtheme comes from the generator
types.
Like generators, manifestinggenerators have to learn how to
read frustration when they feelit, because they have a pattern
(31:22):
where there's this.
The learning curve for amanifesting generator is a stair
step pattern.
You can picture a stair steplike a graph paper or whatever
you want to look at, likethere's a plateau and a level up
and a plateau and a level upand a plateau and a level up.
And when a manifestinggenerator is about to level up,
(31:44):
when their skill set or theirproject or their business or
whatever they're working on isabout to experience growth,
right before that happensthere's a plateau.
The feeling when you're on theplateau feels like you're not
moving And that's going to befrustrating for somebody like a
manifesting generator who isused to operating on a really
(32:06):
really high speed.
For many generators andmanifesting generators, the
impulse when you get to thatplateau is to quit, because it
is just so frustrating to stopthat forward momentum.
So the trick here for themanifesting generator is to
really understand what flavor offrustration they're
experiencing, because sometimesit actually means it's time to
(32:27):
quit.
But you can't just quit becauseif you're making the decision
to quit, you get that full body.
Yes, it's time to quit,whatever this thing is, you
still have to wait for somethingexternal to respond to, to give
you the okay to quit.
But the other side of thatfrustration is don't quit too
(32:47):
soon, because this isn'tactually time to quit.
What you're feeling is it'stime to level up.
It's interesting because when amanifesting generator or a
generator quits too soon, andthis is a pattern.
This is something that theyneed to heal.
They need to understand thatthis is something that will
happen for them.
It's the unbalanced expressionof the generator types, because
(33:13):
what's happening is they'remissing opportunities and they
are not growing.
And, as you can probablyunderstand, that's going to make
things worse, because it justcauses more frustration, because
now it's a different type offrustration, because not only
are they out of their creativechannel, but now they're looping
through this poor decision ofquitting and starting something
new.
And then this pattern is goingto continue of quitting when you
get frustrated because nothingis going to feel right, because
(33:35):
you're not seeing it through.
So for the manifestinggenerator, who has a thousand
tabs open and a hundred projectsgoing, who was doing so many
different things at the speed oflight when things plateau and
slow down, they really just needto understand that that is
their energy building ahead ofsteam so that they can push
through to that next step ontheir growth path.
(33:56):
And another thing that'simportant to outline when it
comes to manifesting generatorsis this whole idea of
multitasking.
The manifesting generator ismeant to experiment and to try
and to do all the things thatthey want to, because they are
lit up by these things, becausethey are seeking proficiency in
any number of avenues.
But not all of these things aremeant to come to fruition.
(34:19):
Not all of these things aremeant to become like mastery.
They're not meant to bemonetized.
Not all of these things aremeant to provide value in any
way to anyone, except for themanifesting generator themselves
.
And all of this goes back tothe fact that they are a sacral
person, which means that theyhave to burn off all of this
(34:41):
energy every single day.
And that's why they're doingall the things that they do,
because it is in their naturenot to burn out but to burn up
all of their energy and to go tobed spent, so that they can
start the next day completelyrecharged.
That's why they are theperennial multitasker.
You know, forever and alwaysright.
They have such an intenseamount of energy that they are
(35:04):
actually working to depletethemselves so that they can rest
.
And it's really important forthe manifesting generators to
have those pathways, thoseoutlets, in order to be able to
operate according to theirenergy type.
One of the most importantlessons for myself after
learning that I am amanifestation generator is truly
understanding and deeplyaccepting the fact that this
(35:28):
multi-passionate,multi-hyphenate thousands of
projects going at once person isnot flaky.
I am meant to move from thingto thing as it lets my fire And
then once the fire is out, it'sout no more.
The book is closed and we'regonna put that book in the
donation bin because we're notgoing back to it.
We're done.
(35:48):
And I'll tell ya, there is alot of guilt and a lot of shame
associated to this facet ofbeing a manifest generator,
because society tells us that weshould complete everything,
that we should see thingsthrough And if we don't, we're
flaky.
And I think that that issomething that needs to be
addressed more fully and can bespoken about when we understand
(36:08):
more about our design.
Because when you discover thatyou are meant to dabble, you are
meant to bring some things tofruition and you are meant to
just try some things and thenmove on, the relief that comes
with that is profound.
And it's part of thatdeconditioning process to really
understand that it's in yournature as a manifest generator
(36:30):
to try things and to abandonthings, because it isn't always
about completion, it's aboutspending your energy.
And that brings me to the lastpiece that I wanted to unpack
with the manifesting generators,and that is authority.
There are many different typesof authority in human design,
but there are only two that youwill find with manifesting
generators, and this has to dowith the fact that all
(36:53):
manifesting generators will havea defined sacral And, because
of the hierarchy of the wayauthority is discerned through
the centers, there's only oneother center that can overpower
the sacral and that is theemotional soloplexus, and so
either you're going to have, onyour body graph, emotional
authority or the sacralauthority for the manifest
(37:14):
generator.
So when you have your emotionalsoloplexus in your body graph,
to find that means that you haveto identify your emotional wave
, and you must allow time forwriting out your emotional wave
before you make the finaldecision on something.
But you still have to wait forthat external input before you
can act.
Emotional authority will havethat lit upness, right, and that
(37:38):
full body, yes, but they can'tknow if it's truly a yes unless
it's a yes over the course oftime of their emotional wave,
and the emotional waves differfrom person to person And there
is a way to track it, toidentify what yours is.
But once you know what that is,you can then wait it out.
And if you are a yes and itstays a yes over the course of
(38:02):
your emotional wave, then whenthat external thing comes in and
qualifies it for you, then youknow you can act.
But if at any point over thecourse of your emotional wave
the answer becomes a no, then itis a no or a not now.
And the interesting thing aboutthe emotional authority is it's
not like you have to wait overthe course of your emotional
(38:23):
wave for every single decisionbecause you can make dinner
reservations without having towait for your emotional wave And
you can go grocery shopping orpick clothing off the rack
without having to wait for yourwave.
But for the larger decisions inlife, things that are going to
have more impact for you, youneed to ride your emotional wave
through that decision.
Because if you're wobbly on theyes or the no over the course
(38:44):
of your emotional wave and youdon't listen to it and you say
yes anyway and you do your thing, the interactions that you're
gonna have with this thing overthe course of your life, with
the thing, is gonna mirror thatwobbly thing.
It's gonna be kind of shaky inthe way that you experience it.
So it is really interesting tostart to identify the emotional
(39:05):
wave, because the emotional waveso this is another one of those
things where the word is kindof has a meaning.
That isn't necessarily themeaning.
The emotional wave is not aboutfeeling happy or sad over the
course of your day because ofinteractions that you have with
people.
Like, for example, you could behigh on your emotional wave and
have a fight with somebody andbe totally bummed out about that
(39:27):
, but still be high on youremotional wave.
Or you could be low on youremotional wave and have the most
exuberant experience and stillbe low on the emotional wave.
The emotional wave moves on itsown, regardless of what's
happening around you, and beingable to tap into that and
understand that that's a thingfor you.
When you have the emotionalauthority, it can be super,
duper powerful.
The other authority thatmanufacturing generators could
(39:50):
have is the sacral authority,and this would be a
manufacturing generator who hasan open emotional solar plexus,
so they wouldn't have thatdefinition there.
But when a manufacturinggenerator has the sacral
authority, they are respondingto things with that full body,
yes, and they're operating withthe awareness to prevent the
interruption of their flow rightBy informing, and then they are
(40:12):
waiting for that external thingto confirm, so that external
thing that they can respond to,that lets them know that it's
time to act on the yes right.
And the trick for this, formanufacturing generators, is to
trust and to truly understandwhat your body is telling you.
Okay, so to review, in thisepisode we went on an
(40:32):
exploration of what it means tobe a manufacturing generator.
We talked about the differencesbetween a generator and a
manufacturing generator beingthe connection to the throat.
We talked about the strategy ofthe manufacturing generator
being the same as the generatortype, which is to respond, but
because they also have themanifestor in them, they must
(40:53):
also inform before they act andlet the stakeholders know that
things are gonna be happeningright.
And we touched on theauthorities that a manufacturing
generator would have, and thoseare the emotional authority and
the sacral authority, and howthose two things differ from
each other, and the importanceof following your authority
while following your strategy byyour type, and just how
(41:14):
powerful that can be when itcomes to really understanding
how your energy works and thenharnessing that so that you can
change the world.
So I hope that you enjoyed thisepisode And if you're
interested in all, in runningyour human design chart.
You can do so at my website,which is free.
There are other places out onthe web that you can do it as
well.
If you're interested in havinga conversation, you can hit me
(41:36):
up in the community And again,i'm gonna link to all that stuff
in the show notes.
But that's all I've got for youthis week And thank you for
listening and I hope you forgreat week.
Hey there, my name is Corinne Oflin and you're
listening to the CalmEntrepreneur podcast.
I am a USA Today bestsellingauthor, non-profit executive and
organizing nerd with over 20years' experience running my own
small businesses.
I teach entrepreneurs,solarpreneurs and small business
owners like you how to organizeyour business, find more time
(00:21):
and deepen your alignmentpractice to experience more calm
and confidence every single day.
If you're looking for thatintersection between practical
business advice and spiritualgoodness, then you're in the
right place.
So sit back, relax and let'sdive into this week's episode of
the Calm Entrepreneur podcast.
Welcome, welcome to the CalmEntrepreneur podcast.
(00:43):
I'm your host, corinne Oflin,and this is episode 29.
Before I drop into this week'senergy type, i wanted to do a
little bit of a review abouthuman design in general, just in
case you haven't picked up anyof the other earlier episodes in
this series.
If you have been listening,then this will be review, but I
encourage you to listen anyway,because repetition is a huge
(01:05):
part of learning And eventually,if you hear things repeated,
they get locked into yourknowledge base and that's where,
like you know, trueunderstanding happens.
So if you'll bear with me foranother minute or two, i would
like to review some tenets ofhuman design.
So human design is thiscomprehensive self-discovery
(01:27):
tool.
It's the most profound thing Ihave found for this
contemplative journey, i thinkever.
It exists to help us navigateour energy and find our way
through our lives byunderstanding how to be our
authentic selves and how to makedecisions that are in alignment
for us and our purpose.
(01:48):
It is incredibly personal, andwhat I mean by that is that it
shows us how we are truly, trulyunique, and this couldn't be
more valuable to us asentrepreneurs.
I think that one of the risksthat we have as entrepreneurs is
trying to figure out the key byfollowing what everybody else
is doing.
And when you understand that,through human design, we must
(02:13):
follow our own path and must notfollow the crowd, that we must
empower ourselves, when you peelback the layers of your design,
it's inevitable that you'regoing to begin to peel yourself
away from the pack, and that issomething that I think has
really drawn me to share thiswith all of you, because I feel
(02:36):
like it is the key to thatconfidence.
It is the key to that value ofmy own initiatives, my own ideas
, my own push to do the things.
It kind of helps you drop awayfrom that self-consciousness and
that worry that you're doing itwrong or that you're going to
(02:56):
fail because we're not meant tobe doing the things like
everybody else.
I mean, i think that enough ofus have chased the things that
everybody else is doing longenough to know that a lot of the
times it doesn't work.
And when we really do, sit withthat need to trust and that
(03:18):
yearning to trust and then justtake that leap.
That's where we find the powerin what we're doing.
So I think that that's why Iwant so much to share this with
everyone in the world.
But I do think thatentrepreneurs need this so well,
so deeply, because when we goonline, we're served all these
(03:42):
ads about.
Here's the thing that allbusiness owners must know and
here's the seven steps to doingthis thing, and here's the three
keys to unlocking worlddomination.
And I think it's going to workfor some people, but it's not
going to work for most people.
And I think that there's thisline that we have to walk before
we figure out what's going towork for us.
(04:03):
And I really do believe thathuman design can be the key to
trusting ourselves in makingthose kinds of decisions.
So there are five types inhuman design, and the type is
your energy signature, it's youraura, it's one of the ways in
(04:25):
which we're unique And eventhough there's only five types,
there's so much else going on inthe human design system that
one of the easiest way to dropinto human design is by.
The first thing you will learnis your type, and when you learn
your type, you learn yourstrategy.
So there is the type, there isstrategy, there is our
(04:50):
definition, there's our profile,there's our inner authority,
there's our self and not selfthemes and there's something
called the incarnation cross,which speaks to our purpose.
So those are the main elements.
There are seven main elementsthat are present in everyone's
chart, which, in human design,is called the body graph, and
(05:12):
each of those seven things areinformed by the 64 gates which
are lit up.
They're defined or open, basedon all the planets and celestial
bodies and where they were atthe moment of your birth and a
little bit before you were born.
It's an incredible and profoundsystem, and what I want to
(05:34):
reiterate is that it's meant forcontemplation, it's meant to be
something that you can use tolook within, it's meant to be
something that you can use toheal yourself and to learn to
know yourself, and I thinkthat's truly what it is that
draws me so deeply to it,because in the short time that
I've been coaching other peopleon their design and coaching
(05:56):
them by their design, it's beenproof that there is an awakening
in store for each and every oneof us.
So if you're curious aboutyourself and you're eager to do
some looking within and reallytapping into who you are and
what that means, and how you canmaster your energy by
understanding and working withyour conditioning, this is
(06:20):
something that I really do urgeyou to explore, and you can do
it for free.
You can get a body graph on mywebsite.
There's lots of places onlinethat you can get your body graph
chart, your human design chart,run for free.
So please do that and learnabout your strategy and your
type.
For a lot of people, this is aton of information, and I even
(06:43):
in writing out my notes for eachof these episodes.
There's just so much depth andit's easy to get really
overwhelmed, but you don't needto have all of the information
to start using the informationthat you have.
So I really do want to inviteyou to listen to these episodes
(07:03):
And, if you're curious about thepeople in your circle, you can
start with the one that is aboutyour type.
But I think there's so muchvalue in listening to all the
different types because it helpsexplain how different people
operate in different ways andwhy.
So I just I love it, i love it,i love it.
(07:25):
But human design can be like arabbit hole and a half, so
there's really a lot to explore.
So if you choose to open thedoor to discover your human
design, listen to this episodefor a simple 101 kind of a guide
for the first things that youcan dig into without really
going too far down and gettingoverwhelmed.
(07:46):
But again, if you wished formore, you can reach out.
If you want a chart readingsession or you want to explore
coaching by your design, or youwant to just drop into our
community and ask some questionsabout your chart, that's free.
You're welcome to do that.
I'll put a link to all of thatstuff in the show notes.
So over the next few episodesI'm going to be covering the
different aspects of humandesign and we're going to talk
(08:08):
about type strategy andauthority.
So, as I said earlier, thereare five energy types in human
design and they are called themanifester, the manifesting
generator, the generator, theprojector and the reflector.
And the things thatdifferentiate the types are the
way that each type exchangesenergy with others, as well as
(08:28):
the way that you use your energyto move about your everyday
life.
And each type has their gifts.
And each type has theirstrengths, and each one of us
has our part to play in theworld.
We all have all of the chart,and I want to make this super
duper clear, because there's notype that is more desirable or
(08:51):
better than another type.
Each has qualities that makethem special and unique, and
understanding your type isreally what this is all about.
So the more we dig into how thedifferent types interact with
each other, the more it'll beclear that we pick up on the
(09:11):
energy of other people that wespend time with and that we have
access to all the chart forthat reason, because it's energy
right.
So the position of the planetsas they transit the sky and the
people that we spend time with,whether that be in a coffee shop
or under the same roof whereyou live, it impacts the way
that you feel and interact withenergy, and I want to really
(09:35):
stress that we all have all thechart And this is something that
Karen Curry Parker, who is mycoach in quantum human design.
She really does make sure tostress that whenever she has the
chance, because it's reallyeasy to run your chart and look
at the places on your chart.
Because when you look at yourchart the body graph what you're
going to see is a whole bunchof blank space and colored in
(09:56):
spaces, and the colors don'tmean anything.
People can design the charts tobe whatever There's.
Usually there's two colors.
One is your conscious designand one is your unconscious
design.
It's your personality and yourdesign.
The colors are irrelevant.
What's important is whether ornot something is colored in.
If it's colored in, it isdefined and you experience that
(10:20):
energy in a consistent way, andif it is not colored in, it is
open or undefined.
You still experience all ofthat energy, but you experience
it in a variable way.
But it's really important tounderstand that everybody has
all of the chart.
In human design It's theopenness and the definition is
what differentiates all of us.
So when you look at your chartand you see the places that you
(10:43):
have colored in and defined, itis not correct to say that you
quote don't have this part ofthe chart, okay.
It just means that youexperience that energy in a
different way than the placeswhere you do have the definition
, and I can't stress that enoughbecause it's one of those
things where it's kind of likein astrology, for example, which
(11:05):
is part of human design.
People will look at their needlechart and they'll say I don't
have anything in the seventhhouse or I don't have anything
in Aries, and that might be true.
That is not the way that youspeak about your chart.
In human design, you have allof the chart.
So I think I've made thatabundantly clear.
But, as you do, if you dochoose to dig into more
(11:29):
exploration of the chart, it'llbecome so much more clear and
you'll learn the language of theway human design works so that
you can lay that foundation andmake sure that you understand
what it is that is being talkedabout.
And again, this is one of thosethings about language In human
(11:49):
design in particular.
This is one of the first timesthat I've come across a system
that uses language that we alluse, but they assign definitions
to things that might raise yourhackles, and the caveat there
is that, i think in 99% of thecases so far where I've come
(12:11):
across a word that was used todefine something, the definition
of the word wasn't necessarilywhat I was assigning to it, so
the meanings aren't necessarilylike.
The meanings are the meaningsI'm trying to like.
A definition means that youhave something to find.
It's not better than or worsethan openness, it's just
(12:32):
different, right.
But we might think that ourdefinition is our chart and we
might look at the chart andthink, oh my gosh, this is my
chart, this is who I am.
And that is also not true.
You are not your chart, yourchart, as Karen Curry Parker.
She describes it perfectly.
She says your chart is not you,you are not your chart.
Your chart should be viewed as acurriculum.
(12:55):
This is what you're here tolearn, this is what you're here
to do, this is what you're hereto explore And this is how
you're meant to do it.
And your chart shows you all ofthose things.
You can choose to ignore theaspects of your chart.
You can choose to embrace theaspects of your chart, and as
(13:17):
you do those things, you willexperience life in different
ways.
And so there's so much there.
But it's really important thatwhen you start to dig into human
design or quantum human design.
There's a difference betweenthe two, and one of the vast
differences between the two isactually the vocabulary, the
(13:37):
language that is being used inthese systems.
It's vitally important that youdon't take it at face value and
that you do dig in, because weoften jump to conclusions
because of the meanings that weassociate a certain words, and
it's actually larger than thatAnd it's more nuanced than that.
All right, thank you forbearing with me through that
(14:00):
very long introduction, but thisepisode we're going to talk
about the Manifestion Generator.
So the Manifestion Generator isa combination, kind of a type.
They have parts of theManifesting type, manifestor
type and the Generator type.
They are like Manifestors inthat they have this internal,
(14:21):
non-verbal creative flow thatmakes super fast connections to
inspiration, like they arechanneling information and they
are under pressure to createfrom the ideas that are coming
in.
But, unlike Manifestors, theManifesting Generator cannot
initiate.
That is something that only theManifestors can do.
(14:42):
Instead, the ManifestingGenerator has to wait.
They get that sacral response,they get that full body, yes,
and it gives them that yeah,yeah, yeah, i want to do this
thing, and that's what makesthem a Generator type, but they
must wait for that externalthing out in the world to tell
them that it's time to act, andtiming is what's key for the
(15:07):
Manifesting Generator beforethey actually do any initiating
In quantum human design.
The Manifesting Generator iscalled the Time Bender because
the way the ManifestingGenerator works is done very,
very quickly And they actuallyaccelerate timelines because of
the way that they work.
One of the things thatManifesting Generators do very,
(15:28):
very well is they multitask.
These are the people who have100 tabs open on their computer
browsers and they have nineprojects going at one time and a
thousand ideas in the hopperwaiting to be chosen.
And the Manifesting Generatorhas an energy that is considered
open and enveloping, just likethe Generator types, and this
(15:48):
makes them magnetic, it makesthem a receiver for everything
that's going on around them Andit also makes them really easy
to connect with other people,which makes them just like a
Generator.
And the thing that makes theManifesting Generator different
from a pure Generator is that intheir body graph, the
Manifesting Generator has aconnection from one of the four
(16:09):
motor centers to the throat, andthis gives the Manifest and
Generator a unique energy aboutthem that is lightning-fast and
very impactful and veryinspiring to the people around
them, like the Generators theManifest and Generators because
they have that defined sacredcenter, they have to burn
through all of their energyevery single day in order to be
(16:32):
able to rest.
They cannot start the next day.
They can't wake up tomorrowfully charged and ready to go if
they did not burn everything uptoday.
And this is not burnout, thisis burning up, this is expending
all of that energy.
And because they have thesacred definition, these are the
people who arefollow-throughers.
The sacred is this non-stopmotor.
It's a self-generating motor,it doesn't need to be
(16:55):
replenished, it's this endlesssupply.
So the Manifest and Generatorsare the follow-throughers.
They're the people who can notonly start the projects, but
they can see them through tocompletion.
The challenge with this energycomes from that follow-through
nature, because everyone elsearound the Manifest and
Generator can also see that inthem.
(17:16):
They can see that you're a doer, they can see that the Manifest
and Generator is going to getthings done.
And that puts them at risk ofbeing used by other people,
because they're going to say yes, of course I can take that on,
of course I can do that thingAnd, depending on how their
conditioning presents, theymight be a people pleaser That's
(17:37):
a risk that comes with thistype of energy So they can fall
into the trap of being takenadvantage of and getting roped
into projects that theyotherwise would not have had any
interest in and they would havesaid no to, and this then drops
them out of alignment Andthat's where we get some
frustration, we might get someresentment, we might get some
anger, and it makes lifedifficult for the Manifest and
(17:59):
Generators.
So, in the process of exploringyourself, if you are a Manifest
and Generator, you would wantto explore the places where you
are sacrificing yourself inorder to see to the needs of
other people before your own.
And this is not to say that youshould not be serving other
people.
You should be serving peoplefrom a place of service, not
martyrdom.
You should not be sacrificingyour well-being in order to
(18:23):
serve someone else's because theenergy exchange is going to be
off in those cases.
Manifest and Generators are hereto break the mold.
They are here to push thelimits.
They are here to explore thatline, that leading edge of what
we think is possible, and theircreativity is expressed in a way
that pushes humanity forward.
The Manifest and Generatorsmake up the largest portion of
(18:46):
the population in human design,with over 33% of the world being
this type.
And this makes sense when youthink about it, because the
world needs to continue to pushand expand and to grow and to
build, and the Manifest andGenerators are the builders.
They're the ones who movequickly enough to have that as
(19:07):
part of their purpose.
But, again, the Manifest andGenerator cannot initiate
anything.
And this is not to say that ifyou are a Manifest and Generator
, that you can't start something.
You can do that, but you do soagainst your energy type, you do
so against your strategy, andso it would be actually easier
and you would actually have moreflow if you followed your
(19:29):
strategy.
So you should not initiate as aManifest and Generator.
When acting according tostrategy, the Manifest and
Generator would wait to respond,and I touched on this when I
spoke about the Generator types,because this is something that
these two types share, and thefirst time that I heard about
the strategy of responding, itdidn't make any sense to me Like
(19:51):
this is one of those words.
It's like to respond, like whatdoes that mean?
And I am a Manifest andGenerator type, so I was really
confused about what it meant torespond because I don't have the
weight for anybody to do thingsLike.
I have control over my scheduleand my decisions to do things
right.
That's not what it's about.
(20:12):
But now that I understand whatit means to respond, it makes
perfect sense And it kind ofdrops into this magical place
where it feels like somethingfantastical is happening around
me.
So the way that the strategyworks for the Manifest and
Generator is they're thinkingabout doing something right.
They come across something inthe world and it lights them up
and you get this full body,sacral response and this fire is
(20:34):
lit And you get this full body,yes, to do something, to learn
something, to do whatever, butremember that the Manifest and
Generator cannot initiate.
Their strategy is to respond.
So once that thing has lit meup and I know that I want to do
this thing, i have to wait forsomething in my external reality
(20:54):
to reflect that back to me, sothat I know that the timing is
right and then I can act And Itrust me.
I know that this sounds bananasto somebody who, if you are,
someone who is not familiar atall with human design and you
know, i'm new to human designand I know a lot of my listeners
would then possibly have beencoming along with me to this,
(21:20):
because a lot of the clientsthat I've worked with like, okay
, so tell me about this thing,karen, and, like you know, make
it, make it not sound bananas.
And oh my God, i don't know howto make it not sound bananas,
because it's one of those thingsthat you really just have to
experience, but it is.
It is really something else.
So if you are a Generator typeand that means that you're a
Generator or a Manifest andGenerator and you allow yourself
(21:43):
to live by your strategy andfollow the yes, but wait to
respond, you'll see what I mean.
This is synchronicity, this isserendipity, this is those
strange coincidences that pop upwhen you find yourself saying,
oh my God, that is so strange.
I was just talking about this,i was just thinking about this.
You know, i was just journalingabout this this morning and
(22:04):
here it is showing up in thisrandom place.
Right, it can show up in anyway And it doesn't need to be
specific at all.
Like, the way that it comes isnot specific.
It could be totally random, itcould be something very small,
it could be a commercial on theradio, it could be a billboard
on the road, it could besomebody around you saying
(22:25):
something to you that clicks.
The only requirement is thatit's external.
It cannot come from within.
And this is really kind offrustrating for the
generatotypes because whentrying to figure out how to
solve a problem or how to make adecision about something, the
manufacturing generator can'task themselves should I do this
thing, yes or no?
Because the yes or no has tocome from outside.
(22:47):
So one of the strategies for amanufacturing generator or a
pure generator because they alsohave the defined sacral is to
have somebody ask them yes andno questions.
And this can actually be donedeliberately.
There's something called thesacral sessions that we can do,
and it's something that I can doas a coach for you.
But you could also write yourquestions down and hand them to
(23:11):
someone else and have them askthe questions And, as the
manufacturing generator, youwould then have that impulse,
that instinctive initialresponse.
That's the sacral giving youthe yes, no, and that is
something that is unique to thegeneratotypes.
In manufacturing generators andin generators, the initial hit,
(23:32):
the sacral response, is almostalways a uh-uh or uh-huh.
It's quick and it's a bodysound.
It's not in your head.
The exception to this ismanufacturing generators would
potentially some people do, somepeople don't have a certain
channel defined in their charts,which then would change that
(23:53):
sound to something else.
Again, i'm not going into theweeds on this one.
So the yes no can bemanufactured by making other
people ask you yes, no questionsthat you could actually write
down and say hey, here's a list.
Please ask me these questionsso that I can solve this dilemma
that I'm having.
The only caveat is that theclarity cannot come from within.
(24:16):
You can't ask yourself yes, noquestions.
I've tried it.
I've asked other manufacturinggenerators and other
generatotypes And it's thisconundrum that we have.
It's like I don't understand,but the reason is because when
you do that, the answer iscoming from your head, not from
your body, so it's really justsomething else.
So, as a manufacturing generator, when you're listening to your
(24:38):
body and responding according toyour strategy, there's going to
be this yes, no to everything,and it's important to know that
if the answer is no, it doesn'talways mean no forever.
It might just be no for now,and this can change at some
point in the future.
It could be like in an hour, itcould be in a month, it could
be in a year, but because themanufacturing generator is now
(24:59):
paying attention to the inputfrom the external world, they
will be ready for that thingwhen it comes back and confirms
yeah, okay, i told you no backthen, but now it's a yes, and
the reason for this has to dowith divine timing.
It's divine timing is in playAnd when the energetics are
(25:20):
right and the universe is signalto you is now it is time, it's.
There's really no other way toknow that unless you've
experienced it.
So if you are a generator or amanufacturing generator out
there who has experienced this,i would love to hear from you.
You can email me or drop intoour community.
(25:41):
I am enthralled with thesestories because it's magnificent
to see it, because once youunderstand that it actually is a
thing and it's not just thisweird coincidence, then you
start to chase it and you startto wait for it and you start to
like, really try to.
You know manufacturing theopportunities, but you're really
(26:01):
aware how many of theseopportunities there are to get
that alignment, confirmation inreal time, and I have several
clients who are manufacturinggenerators who have experienced
this as well, and theconversations we have when it
happens like we can't help, butlike pick up the phone and call
(26:22):
each other because we have tohear it to those voices, and
it's like, oh my God, you won'tbelieve what just happened.
I was, and we're marveling athow spectacular it is when you
truly surrender and trust Andthen the universe proves it
right back to you.
The universe has got your backAnd this is the universe has all
of our backs, regardless ofyour strategy and regardless of
(26:43):
your type.
But for the manufacturinggenerator and the generator, the
, the sacral kickback and thatresponse, confirmation happens
right there.
It's visible.
It's visible.
You could see it and you feelit, and it feels like magic.
So for anyone out there who isnot sure what to make of this, i
(27:04):
urge you to run your chart andyou could do it for free again
on my website.
There's other websites outthere.
You could do it on.
Learn your type, read aboutyour strategy and play with it,
test it, give it a week, forceyourself to live by your
strategy for seven days and thenreport back to me, because it
doesn't take seven days.
You're going to have that.
You're going to have instanceswhere your type is speaking to
(27:26):
you, your strategy is speakingto you and your energy is going
to respond because you're payingattention to it and you're
learning how to read your bodyfor it all.
That is something that so far,for me and my clients and my
friends and my family, that isthe thing that has cemented the
truth of human design for a lotof people that have been newly
(27:46):
initiated into the power of thissystem.
Many of the people who I haveinteracted with come into human
design with curiosity, becausethey've heard me talk about it
and I'm so lit up about it Myexcitement is contagious.
Maybe they just check it outbecause they're unsure of what
(28:06):
to think, and maybe they're likeme and they're born skeptical.
But I'll tell you that simplylearning strategy and type is
enough.
It's enough to break open thatwindow.
It's enough to rip off the doorbecause as soon as you start
paying attention to it, you seeit.
If you are human design curious, i really do urge you to dip a
toe in and see what you think ofit.
(28:27):
It's not a divination tool, it'snot a fortune telling device.
It's a contemplation tool.
It's an inner work tool.
It's shining a light on you tohelp you understand you.
It's just powerful If you'reable to look within, you are
(28:48):
automatically on a growth path.
There's no way to look withinand not grow.
I don't know of another path togrowth.
You have to look within andhuman design really does give
you a roadmap.
Right, it's a blueprint, it'san energy blueprint.
Karen Curry Parker talks aboutit as a template.
(29:09):
You know it's our curriculum,it's a way forward and it's just
, it's profound.
So when you are not operatingaccording to your strategy, the
emotional theme shows up.
Right, and for a manufacturinggenerator, the emotional theme
is two parts.
They have the manifesting partand the generating part.
They have frustration and angerAnd if you recall the
(29:33):
manifestors, emotional theme wasanger and the generator type
was frustration.
And in this way they are trulythe manifesting.
The manifesting generator istruly the hybrid, like in this
one way in their emotionalthemes, because the manifesting
generator has that internal,nonverbal creative flow That is
(29:54):
a direct line, that is a channelfor inspiration.
Right, you're connected tosource and there's this pressure
to channel all this energy andto create.
And so the manifestinggenerator is moving so quickly
that when they are interrupted,when that energy flow is cut,
they stop channeling.
But it's still coming, itexplodes out of them and it
(30:15):
looks like anger.
And it's not actually anger, itjust presents as anger.
It's not directed at a person,it's just the way that that
energy looks when it breaks,when that flow is broken.
So part of the manifestinggenerator strategy to be
proactive against that flowbeing disrupted is to inform.
And if you recall themanifester, the manifester's
(30:39):
strategy is to inform.
And this is informing peoplewho will be impacted by the
actions that you're going totake.
And ironically, the manifesterand the manifesting generator
doesn't want to inform.
It goes against their nature toinform and that comes out of
fear of being controlled andhaving their autonomy taken away
.
But informing is not asking forpermission, it's straight up
(31:02):
letting people know what's aboutto happen so they can leave you
alone and let it happen.
But the manifesting generatoralso has the theme of
frustration And the frustrationtheme comes from the generator
types.
Like generators, manifestinggenerators have to learn how to
read frustration when they feelit, because they have a pattern
(31:22):
where there's this.
The learning curve for amanifesting generator is a stair
step pattern.
You can picture a stair steplike a graph paper or whatever
you want to look at, likethere's a plateau and a level up
and a plateau and a level upand a plateau and a level up.
And when a manifestinggenerator is about to level up,
(31:44):
when their skill set or theirproject or their business or
whatever they're working on isabout to experience growth,
right before that happensthere's a plateau.
The feeling when you're on theplateau feels like you're not
moving And that's going to befrustrating for somebody like a
manifesting generator who isused to operating on a really
(32:06):
really high speed.
For many generators andmanifesting generators, the
impulse when you get to thatplateau is to quit, because it
is just so frustrating to stopthat forward momentum.
So the trick here for themanifesting generator is to
really understand what flavor offrustration they're
experiencing, because sometimesit actually means it's time to
(32:27):
quit.
But you can't just quit becauseif you're making the decision
to quit, you get that full body.
Yes, it's time to quit,whatever this thing is, you
still have to wait for somethingexternal to respond to, to give
you the okay to quit.
But the other side of thatfrustration is don't quit too
(32:47):
soon, because this isn'tactually time to quit.
What you're feeling is it'stime to level up.
It's interesting because when amanifesting generator or a
generator quits too soon, andthis is a pattern.
This is something that theyneed to heal.
They need to understand thatthis is something that will
happen for them.
It's the unbalanced expressionof the generator types, because
(33:13):
what's happening is they'remissing opportunities and they
are not growing.
And, as you can probablyunderstand, that's going to make
things worse, because it justcauses more frustration, because
now it's a different type offrustration, because not only
are they out of their creativechannel, but now they're looping
through this poor decision ofquitting and starting something
new.
And then this pattern is goingto continue of quitting when you
get frustrated because nothingis going to feel right, because
(33:35):
you're not seeing it through.
So for the manifestinggenerator, who has a thousand
tabs open and a hundred projectsgoing, who was doing so many
different things at the speed oflight when things plateau and
slow down, they really just needto understand that that is
their energy building ahead ofsteam so that they can push
through to that next step ontheir growth path.
(33:56):
And another thing that'simportant to outline when it
comes to manifesting generatorsis this whole idea of
multitasking.
The manifesting generator ismeant to experiment and to try
and to do all the things thatthey want to, because they are
lit up by these things, becausethey are seeking proficiency in
any number of avenues.
But not all of these things aremeant to come to fruition.
(34:19):
Not all of these things aremeant to become like mastery.
They're not meant to bemonetized.
Not all of these things aremeant to provide value in any
way to anyone, except for themanifesting generator themselves
.
And all of this goes back tothe fact that they are a sacral
person, which means that theyhave to burn off all of this
(34:41):
energy every single day.
And that's why they're doingall the things that they do,
because it is in their naturenot to burn out but to burn up
all of their energy and to go tobed spent, so that they can
start the next day completelyrecharged.
That's why they are theperennial multitasker.
You know, forever and alwaysright.
They have such an intenseamount of energy that they are
(35:04):
actually working to depletethemselves so that they can rest
.
And it's really important forthe manifesting generators to
have those pathways, thoseoutlets, in order to be able to
operate according to theirenergy type.
One of the most importantlessons for myself after
learning that I am amanifestation generator is truly
understanding and deeplyaccepting the fact that this
(35:28):
multi-passionate,multi-hyphenate thousands of
projects going at once person isnot flaky.
I am meant to move from thingto thing as it lets my fire And
then once the fire is out, it'sout no more.
The book is closed and we'regonna put that book in the
donation bin because we're notgoing back to it.
We're done.
(35:48):
And I'll tell ya, there is alot of guilt and a lot of shame
associated to this facet ofbeing a manifest generator,
because society tells us that weshould complete everything,
that we should see thingsthrough And if we don't, we're
flaky.
And I think that that issomething that needs to be
addressed more fully and can bespoken about when we understand
(36:08):
more about our design.
Because when you discover thatyou are meant to dabble, you are
meant to bring some things tofruition and you are meant to
just try some things and thenmove on, the relief that comes
with that is profound.
And it's part of thatdeconditioning process to really
understand that it's in yournature as a manifest generator
(36:30):
to try things and to abandonthings, because it isn't always
about completion, it's aboutspending your energy.
And that brings me to the lastpiece that I wanted to unpack
with the manifesting generators,and that is authority.
There are many different typesof authority in human design,
but there are only two that youwill find with manifesting
generators, and this has to dowith the fact that all
(36:53):
manifesting generators will havea defined sacral And, because
of the hierarchy of the wayauthority is discerned through
the centers, there's only oneother center that can overpower
the sacral and that is theemotional soloplexus, and so
either you're going to have, onyour body graph, emotional
authority or the sacralauthority for the manifest
(37:14):
generator.
So when you have your emotionalsoloplexus in your body graph,
to find that means that you haveto identify your emotional wave
, and you must allow time forwriting out your emotional wave
before you make the finaldecision on something.
But you still have to wait forthat external input before you
can act.
Emotional authority will havethat lit upness, right, and that
(37:38):
full body, yes, but they can'tknow if it's truly a yes unless
it's a yes over the course oftime of their emotional wave,
and the emotional waves differfrom person to person And there
is a way to track it, toidentify what yours is.
But once you know what that is,you can then wait it out.
And if you are a yes and itstays a yes over the course of
(38:02):
your emotional wave, then whenthat external thing comes in and
qualifies it for you, then youknow you can act.
But if at any point over thecourse of your emotional wave
the answer becomes a no, then itis a no or a not now.
And the interesting thing aboutthe emotional authority is it's
not like you have to wait overthe course of your emotional
(38:23):
wave for every single decisionbecause you can make dinner
reservations without having towait for your emotional wave And
you can go grocery shopping orpick clothing off the rack
without having to wait for yourwave.
But for the larger decisions inlife, things that are going to
have more impact for you, youneed to ride your emotional wave
through that decision.
Because if you're wobbly on theyes or the no over the course
(38:44):
of your emotional wave and youdon't listen to it and you say
yes anyway and you do your thing, the interactions that you're
gonna have with this thing overthe course of your life, with
the thing, is gonna mirror thatwobbly thing.
It's gonna be kind of shaky inthe way that you experience it.
So it is really interesting tostart to identify the emotional
(39:05):
wave, because the emotional waveso this is another one of those
things where the word is kindof has a meaning.
That isn't necessarily themeaning.
The emotional wave is not aboutfeeling happy or sad over the
course of your day because ofinteractions that you have with
people.
Like, for example, you could behigh on your emotional wave and
have a fight with somebody andbe totally bummed out about that
(39:27):
, but still be high on youremotional wave.
Or you could be low on youremotional wave and have the most
exuberant experience and stillbe low on the emotional wave.
The emotional wave moves on itsown, regardless of what's
happening around you, and beingable to tap into that and
understand that that's a thingfor you.
When you have the emotionalauthority, it can be super,
duper powerful.
The other authority thatmanufacturing generators could
(39:50):
have is the sacral authority,and this would be a
manufacturing generator who hasan open emotional solar plexus,
so they wouldn't have thatdefinition there.
But when a manufacturinggenerator has the sacral
authority, they are respondingto things with that full body,
yes, and they're operating withthe awareness to prevent the
interruption of their flow rightBy informing, and then they are
(40:12):
waiting for that external thingto confirm, so that external
thing that they can respond to,that lets them know that it's
time to act on the yes right.
And the trick for this, formanufacturing generators, is to
trust and to truly understandwhat your body is telling you.
Okay, so to review, in thisepisode we went on an
(40:32):
exploration of what it means tobe a manufacturing generator.
We talked about the differencesbetween a generator and a
manufacturing generator beingthe connection to the throat.
We talked about the strategy ofthe manufacturing generator
being the same as the generatortype, which is to respond, but
because they also have themanifestor in them, they must
(40:53):
also inform before they act andlet the stakeholders know that
things are gonna be happeningright.
And we touched on theauthorities that a manufacturing
generator would have, and thoseare the emotional authority and
the sacral authority, and howthose two things differ from
each other, and the importanceof following your authority
while following your strategy byyour type, and just how
(41:14):
powerful that can be when itcomes to really understanding
how your energy works and thenharnessing that so that you can
change the world.
So I hope that you enjoyed thisepisode And if you're
interested in all, in runningyour human design chart.
You can do so at my website,which is free.
There are other places out onthe web that you can do it as
well.
If you're interested in havinga conversation, you can hit me
(41:36):
up in the community And again,i'm gonna link to all that stuff
in the show notes.
But that's all I've got for youthis week And thank you for
listening and I hope you forgreat week.
