THE MANIFESTING GENERATOR

"Moment of Truth"

A Manifesting Generator has a defined Sacral connected through any sequence of active channels to a defined Throat.

Alternatively they have a defined Sacral and at least one of the three motor centers Heart, Emotions, or Root connected through any sequence of active channels to the Throat.

You are a potential powerhouse and bundle of energy combined but require the tight rein of patience before you can release your consider­ able resources effectively.

You "MG types" make up an estimated 33 percent of the world's pop­ulation at winning of the two previous types, yet distinguishable with your own unique markings.

I call you the MG because you're a classic human vehicle in your own right, impressive in motion when you've found your speed.

You have the built-in guidance system of the gut response (as de­scribed in the Generator type) but the subtle distinction is this: you can initiate and make things happen, but only after honoring that Genera­tor gut response.

In effect, you are a Manifestor in waiting.

The vital difference that sets you apart from Manifestors and Gener­ators exists in the moment of truth between a gut response and actually manifesting.

I call this "being in the gap."

It's in this gap that you first need to taste the action to confirm an initial gut sensation.

In a basic example, if you're an MG type and a friend asks if you want to go for a walk, you get an "uh huh" positive response and get up from your seat.

This is where you enter the gap between response and manifesting, because it's when you get to the front door (tasting the action) that you actually find out the walk isn't happening for you (moment of truth) and give up on the idea.

Whereas if you were a Generator, once you'd decided to leave that seat and head for the door, you'd be committed and on that walk whether you liked it or not, carried by momentum.

This is the sub­tle but significant difference in action.

So what I tell Manifesting Generators is to view the process like this: respond by listening to your gut, find the moment of truth by putting your toe in the water, and then, if there is clarity to your conviction, make it happen.

When you do make it happen, when you're off and committed, you're powering forward with Manifestor zeal.

You've a faster gear change than a Generator.

You can go from 0 to 60 mph in four seconds and leave burn­ing rubber on the road.

You actually have many speeds and, unlike Generators' you can stop once you've engaged your energy because your manifesting side allows you to correct course midstride.

You'll also be constantly looking for the next challenge, forever on the lookout, for­ever restless.

I wouldn't be surprised to find you trying to keep several plates spinning, but your focus is best applied to one project at a time.

I always have fun imagining a Manifestor, a Generator, and a Mani­festing Generator in the same room.

This is not typical, but it's a likely scenario:

* Whooooosshhh, there goes the Manifestor, out of the door, telling…  no one.

The Generator looks up from his seat, wondering quietly about when things are going to start happening for him while flipping through a magazine.

But the frustrated MG is all antsy and pacing the room, waiting for the red light to turn green.

When it does, and when he gets a clear gut response and affirms his moment of truth, there's no see­ing him for dust.

The Generator, seeing the same green light and having his clear gut response, looks in the mirror, checks he has everything, starts to build his momentum, and then goes out there to give it his all.

My experience of Manifesting Generators is that they are always restless, fidgeting, tapping their feet, ready to engage with anything at a mo­ment's notice.

If this is you, you're an intense fusion, tom between a compulsion to manifest and waiting for the right moment, tom between the ­ need for all conquering action and the surrender of having to wait.

Once more, you must learn to wait for the green light from life itself.

*John, my friend of thirty years, always got into relationships that didn't workout.

He'd fall madly in love and have passionate affairs, and then the next dramatic step would be an inexplicable separation.

]ohn is a Manifesting Generator and would view his role in relationships as being the one to make the first move.

With his natural urge to manifest, he'd fail to wait and would jump in with both feet.

In that respect, he'd act like a pure Manifestor.

I explained to him the process required for a Manifesting Generator in all things, including relationships, but he seemed to think that persistence would ultimately payoff.

So he lurched from one disaster to another until, after a failed marriage and costly divorce, he was ready to give upon ever­ lasting love.

One evening, on his way home from work, he detoured to a health food store, but he'd left his reading glasses at work and found himself squint­ing at the labels on the shelf.

That's when fate sent an attractive woman shopper to his side.

"You seem to be having trouble. Can I help?" she asked.

John was able to feel his instantaneous gut response as a "yes."

It was while she was reading the labels to him that he applied his moment of truth in the gap between response and action.

As he chatted and laughed(tasting the action), he felt the clarity to proceed.

One thing led to another and they are now happily ensconced in a partnership of real strength.

John responded, then manifested the relationship.

From the Human Design point of view, he was not seeking any intervention at the vitamin shelf section and so he was able to respond naturally.

I'm pleased to say that he is now happier than I've ever known him to be.

The temptation within relationships for you MG types is to break the ice and make things happen.

But you're going to get it right only when you've not done the chasing and you're with a person who elicits a clear gut response from you.

Now I can hear all the men and the women who like to be wooed moaning that this can't be right.

I'm not advo­cating that all men deliberately avoid women, waiting for the vitamin shelf woman to enter their world, but I am imploring you to listen to your inner guidance system.

So, men, if you see a woman across a crowded room, check out your gut response.

If it's a "yes," make the approach and start chatting (tasting the action) and then you'll know (moment of truth) whether to proceed.

A relationship founded on that clear beginning will bring about settled harmony.

You can always observe MG types hovering on the sidelines, determining their moment of truth.

When they allow themselves the patience to find inner certainty, there is no one more determined, unstoppable, and fully committed.

They are a blessing to have on your side, manifest­ing without the volatility and unpredictability of a Manifestor.

In the workplace, a Manifesting Generator is striving to find that balance between the Manifestor and Generator aspects.

The Generator part enjoys committing to projects that require huge, sustainable energy.

The Manifesting part likes to forge into new territory and launch new proj­ects.

You MG types must be given freedom and flexibility to break new ground and reach new heights.

You are, in that respect, a tricky employee to understand, a hybrid of workhorse and pioneer.

Ideally, you'll be a respected high flyer, an executive, or someone who has the indepen­dence to operate freely.

MG children are a potential handful as they grow, struggling to find the balance between their lawless manifesting wants and sustainable generating power.

They are as torn as the elder MG types and really do need parental advice on exercising patience in their restlessness.

Par­ents are best advised not to scold them for the chaos they are liable to cause as they flit between this and that.

It can be easy for a child to escape the Mind and understand the Sacral response.

I've seen it happen with parental coaching, quieting temper tantrums.

It can be confusing for parents.

Don't be surprised if you ask your son or daughter if they want to go to the cinema and they scream,

"Yes, yes, yes!" in gut response, only to sit grumpily in the backseat of the car as you pull up outside the local Imax (tasting the action/moment of truth) and say: "I don't want to go now!"

Such infuriating indecision comes with the territory and needs to be understood.

Such episodes happen not just with children but also within the work­place and relationships.

Manifesting Generators must be tired of hear­ing the complaint:

"You said you wanted to do this twenty seconds ago!"

That was then. This is now.

Know that when they commit to something, there is always the prospect of a change in direction when that moment of truth dawns.

That moment between response and manifestation means

every­thing for these types.

It is the confirmation or rejection.

But, mark my words, when there is absolute clarity and they're marching forward with purpose toward the right relationships and right openings, they are quite brilliant at all they do.
