A Guide for Generators and Manifesting Generators
It can be all too tempting to try and make things happen in life. One of the most common traps that Generators and Manifesting Generators fall into is trying too hard to make something happen.
This is especially true if you are in the void space between what was and what will be. That interim time and place where you are leaving behind what is finished or not working and what is next has not yet emerged. It is a time where you wait with patience and a willingness to be open to whatever is going to reveal itself.
If you are a Generator or Manifesting Generator then this aligns perfectly with your Strategy ( the correct approach to life according to Human Design Type). The Strategy for Generators and Manifesting Generators is to wait to respond to what life brings your way.
To respond as a Generator or Manifesting Generator means that you surrender to life. Your human design strategy is to let life come to you. Then when opportunities show up in your world, you will have a response to them.
This response is felt in your gut as a sacral YES [uh-huh] or a sacral NO [uh-uh]. You cannot control how your Sacral responds. The Sacral centre either responds by lighting up or not. Every cell in your body will come alive or not.
Waiting to respond can feel too slow, but this is the way we can ensure that flow state is in our life. Alignment is much more powerful than force. Alignment is sustainable, resilient, and creative. When we live in alignment with our Strategy we wait until the next right steps reveal themselves to us and the circumstances of life are in alignment with our personal movement and truth
“Waiting… But its the only way to break through the barriers of the patterns of behavior that conditioned us from the very beginning. It the only way, waiting.”
Mary Ann Winiger
Any time we are thinking in a linear way, we can be sure that we’ve veered off the path of surrender. This is when the not-self mind takes the role of the “driver” and tries to control our experiences through our intentions and the mental decisions we make. Our minds will struggle to understand and make sense of how we are supposed to move through life without mental decision-making.The mind may think it knows what you/it wants, however is not the place from which we are designed to make decisions from.
Do You Really Want What You Think You Want?
What is your mind trying to control or create?
In order to tap into the limitless possibilities that the universe have to offer, as Generators and Manifesting Generators we need to be very clear on what we desire and what we want to come into our lives. Getting clear on our desires allows us to attract what we want through our expansive, all embracing auras which bring us things to respond to. However, these desires can be detrimental and limiting to us if we spend too much time thinking of them as a destination that we must reach. Focusing on the destination mentally is what gets us off track. Let the mind surrender.
The trick is to hold a vision of what we would like, what I call the ‘ingredients’ and then surrender to allow life/the universe to deliver the goods in whichever form is right for us. More often than not it is something way better than what the limited mind could imagine. Allow what comes next to evolve naturally and organically
Ultimately, when we surrender we are returning to remembering that there is something larger at play which is accessible to us when we sink into our bodies, follow our Strategy and listen to our Inner Authority ( which is never the mind). We have to let go of how our mind thinks we should live our life and shift to truly, deeply knowing ourselves and following our inner guidance.
Strategy offers us a correct way of engaging with life and Authority shows our unique process of coming to the truth within.they are a means of moving through the Maia and aligning your consciousness with the movement of your life. To become the “driver” of one’s life, involves an awareness of things as they are, it’s about accepting what is, embracing life as it is and not as we necessarily want it to be. In this way, we surrender and flow with life
What is life presenting to you?
Are there things to respond to that you/your mind have or are dismissing?
To see what life has in store for us, witnessing the unfolding of life as it happens, is an active state where you are alert and receptive to life in the present moment. It is about trusting in life and honouring your true nature while moving through the world in a space of acceptance and surrender. For a Generator or Manifesting Generator, surrender is our optimal state of being
“I know the moment that you’re living correctly as yourself, you’re going to get it all. You’re going to get it all. You’re going to get what’s for you, which means you’re really going to get it. Because that’s the point.” – Ra Uru Hu
