How to Be Satisfied

Generators, also known as Builders, represent approximately 70 percent of the population and function as the primary life-force energy of the planet. They are defined by a defined Sacral Center, which acts as a powerful motor generating sustainable energy for work, creation, and reproduction. The Generator’s role is to engage with life through sustainable building and maintenance, finding their true identity and purpose through the work they love.

Generator and Manifesting Generator

Generators are designed to respond to life. Their power comes from the sacral “yes” — when they wait to respond, they align with satisfaction and sustainable energy.

Frustration arises when they initiate instead of respond. It signals they’re out of alignment with their sacral truth.

MG’s have both Generator and Manifestor traits. They’re designed to respond quickly, often skipping steps, and need freedom to move fast and pivot.

Like Generators, MG’s must respond first. But they also need to inform others of their actions to reduce resistance when shifting directions.

Pure Generator Dynamics

  • Aura: Generators possess an open and enveloping aura that acts like a magnet, establishing a field of “availability” that naturally draws people and opportunities into their embrace so they can respond.
  •  
  • Strategy To Respond: Their correct way of engaging with life is to wait for things to come to them rather than initiating action from the mind. When a Generator initiates, they encounter resistance and frustration.
  •  
  • Sacral Sounds: The Sacral Center communicates its moment-to-moment availability through primal, guttural sounds such as “ah-huh” (yes) or “uhn-un” (no).
  •  
  • Honoring these sounds allows the Generator to access their enormous power correctly.
  •  
  • Signature and Not-Self: The signature of a correct Generator is Satisfaction, a deep sense of well-being derived from using their energy effectively. Their not-self theme is Frustration, a signpost that they have veered off course by initiating or overextending their energy.
  •  
  • Mastery and Plateaus: Generators are designed for mastery through a step-by-step process,. They frequently hit plateaus where they feel “stuck”; if they entered the process correctly through response, they have the power to persist until a breakthrough propels them to the next level.

Manifesting Generator (Express Builder) Dynamics

The Manifesting Generator is a variation of the Generator Type, comprising approximately 33 percent of the population. While they share the same defined Sacral Center and enveloping aura, they possess a motor connected directly to the Throat Center.

 

The Archetype of Efficiency: MG’s are designed to move quickly from response to manifestation. They have a unique gift for seeing which steps in a process are essential and which can be skipped, resulting in extreme efficiency.

 

The Dilemma of Speed: This efficiency creates a tendency toward impatience. MG’s often move so fast that they miss essential steps and are forced to go back and redo them, which leads to intense frustration.

 

Archetypal Definition: The only “true” or pure Manifesting Generator connection is the Channel of Charisma (34-20), which connects the Sacral power directly to present-moment action.

 

Strategy Nuance: Despite their manifesting potential, MG’s must follow the Generator Strategy to respond. They must wait for a stimulus to respond to before their manifesting energy can be used correctly; otherwise, they meet the same resistance as a pure Generator.

Common Mechanical Requirements

Sleep Habits: Both types must completely exhaust their daily supply of Sacral energy before they can achieve restful, regenerating sleep. If they go to bed without burning off their energy, they wake up unrefreshed.

 

Emotional Authority: Approximately half of all Generators (pure and manifesting) have a defined Solar Plexus, meaning their Strategy is to wait for emotional clarity over time. For these individuals, there is no truth in the now, and they must wait for their emotional wave to settle before honoring their Sacral response.

 

Decision Making: For both types, the mind is not an authority but a passenger. Decisions must be made through the Sacral response (or Emotional clarity) to ensure the vehicle navigates its correct geometry in the world.

Ra Uru Hu The Founder The human Design System

“Born Alan (Robert) Krakower in Montreal, Canada April 9, 1948. He disappeared in 1983 and re-emerged as Ra on the Island of Ibiza and began a process of mystical deconstruction climaxing with his encounter with the “Voice.” Titled ‘Uru Hu’ by the “Voice,” Ra’s encounter and education lasted from January 3-11, 1987.”
