Manifesting Generators make up one third of the population, and luckily these beings exist. The contagious energy of the Manifesting Generator, along with their ability to do a thousand things at once, is as admirable as it is overwhelming. A faster version of Generators, Manifesting Generators possess some initiating power that comes from their Defined Throat directly connected to a motor. This means that Manifesting Generators have no problem communicating and manifesting what they feel.
This way of operating may be natural for them, but it can leave some other Energy Types confused with so many different desires emerging at the same time. For this reason, Manifesting Generators can be interpreted as people who change their minds all the time and are not trustworthy. In reality, Manifesting Generators are the butterflies of the Energy Types, always in mutation and evolution.
Their presence is a blessing in the world because of their life force. Unlike their closest Energy Type, Manifesting Generators have the ability to constantly reinvent themselves and more easily let go of what no longer serves them to pursue something new.
On the other hand, these balls of energy, when dissatisfied, deal not only with frustration but also with anger. This combination of apparent inconsistency and sudden bursts of anger makes Manifesting Generators the most volatile type in the eyes of other Energy Types. That is why it is so important to know how to love our Manifesting Generators, who are so often misunderstood.
Here are 5 tips to make a Manifesting Generator feel truly loved.
1. Accept Your Manifesting Generator’s Rhythm
A Manifesting Generator operates at a frenetic rhythm. They wake up, jump out of bed, and are already ready for the day. They can keep up this rhythm without breaks until, completely physically and mentally exhausted, they hit the bed and fall asleep right away. When living in alignment with their Design and Purpose, Manifesting Generators don’t want to, can’t, or shouldn’t slow down.
So asking a Manifesting Generator to calm down, go slower, eat less, or go to bed earlier will only leave them frustrated. Other energy types might think Manifesting Generators live on the edge, working too hard, always busy with activities and little rest, but that is their natural programming. Asking them to behave differently is telling them they are wrong.
Accept your Manifesting Generator’s rhythm. Don’t fall into the temptation to try to keep up with them unless you are also this energy type, and don’t ask them to slow down to your pace. Respect their unique and fast way of exchanging energy with the Universe.
2. Don’t take their frustration personally.
Like their Generator counterparts, Manifesting Generators feel a lot of frustration when they are out of alignment with their true self. Moreover, they are used to always being active and doing everything well and quickly. When this doesn’t happen, their frustration comes with flashes of anger from their Manifestor design, and there is a strong tendency to “push everything aside” or “unload” on others.
Keep your boundaries clear about what is acceptable, but don’t take these behaviors personally. They will happen, and at those times it’s best to give your Manifesting Generator space or respond with patience and love. Listen to them, validate their frustrations, and remember it’s nothing personal against you. As Manifesting Generators, they will quickly focus on something else.
3. Cultivate Their Taste for Diverse Activities
If your Manifesting Generator decided to learn crochet last week and signed up for water polo classes this week, don’t despair or criticize them. They really are like that, jumping from one interest to another. Although they may maintain some constant interests, that will not be enough and they will always seek more. This makes Manifesting Generators fantastic versatile beings, capable of integrating into various groups and less afraid of making mistakes in what they do.
The Manifesting Generator’s passion for life means they need to try and experience everything and be constantly busy with different things that stimulate them and ignite their Sacral energy. An idle Manifesting Generator is a frustrated Manifesting Generator. If you see them lost and with downtime, suggest different activities.
On the other hand, if you notice your Manifesting Generator constantly starting new things only to drop them soon after, invite them to use their Strategy and Authority to determine if it is truly something they want to engage in. Sometimes the urgency to stay busy is so strong that the Manifesting Generator doesn’t use their inner decision-making power and jumps straight into the first thing that catches their eye.
4. Allow Your Manifesting Generator to Skip Steps
The speed at which they operate allows Manifesting Generators to skip steps. They are the type of people who get frustrated when, in school math problems, they have to write out all the calculations even though they immediately figured out the answer.
Manifesting Generators like to ignore the instruction manual, preferring to start doing and learn along the way. This means that often, Manifesting Generators will make mistakes that others might see as avoidable if they had been more calm and discerning. Naturally, the tendency is to reprimand Manifesting Generators for skipping steps, but that doesn’t help and only causes conflict. Manifesting Generators know it’s easy to want to occupy themselves with other things, so they prefer to finish a task as quickly as possible. Don’t waste time trying to convince them to do everything by the rules; they will get frustrated.
In relationships, you might also find a Manifesting Generator skipping steps. If their Sacral is lit up, the Manifesting Generator doesn’t need more indicators and will find all expectations that follow social conventions a big bore. Your Manifesting Generator knows what they want and how to follow it. It’s up to you to decide if you want to skip steps with them (use your Strategy and Authority) but don’t criticize them for wanting to do so.
5. Ask Them Simple Yes or No Questions
Like Generators, Manifesting Generators make decisions from their Sacral center, and since this center only works by instinctively responding with a Yes or No, it’s best to ask simple questions. Open-ended questions confuse a Manifesting Generator who will try to find logic where it doesn’t belong.
Moreover, a Manifesting Generator, being fast-paced, needs simple questions so they can focus on the Sacral center to give the answer and then quickly move on to whatever else is stimulating them. In fact, the Sacral center of Manifesting Generators wasn’t made to stay still; it was designed to live in constant response and subsequent initiation. Since no one can respond to something they weren’t asked, don’t hesitate to ask your Manifesting Generator many questions, but remember to keep them binary (“Do you want A or B?”).
Manifesting Generators are perhaps the most misunderstood Energy Type in Human Design. That title usually goes to Manifestors, but the truth is that Manifesting Generators are often in limbo, not being pure Generators and lacking many of the key characteristics of Manifestors. Because they don’t fit well anywhere, it’s easy to attribute flaws to them that are actually just their most genuine traits, which should be appreciated and loved as they truly deserve.
