Generators aren't worker bees. That whole "drone on for other people" mentality? That's the not-self talking. Generators are 70% of the population, and they're here to build—but only what lights them up.

This episode breaks down what it actually means to be a generator: the defined sacral center (a powerhouse motor that can go and go), the strategy to respond rather than initiate, and why you're like a commuter rail that has to sit for 10 minutes before it can turn around. Once you say yes to something, you're locked in. You'll finish it even if it drains your money, sanity, and mental health. So you better be selective about what you say yes to.

Also covered: why movement matters, why you should fall into bed exhausted, why questioning that alumni event might unravel your entire social circle, and why half-assing human design gets you half-ass results. This isn't something you do "on the side" while staying in a job you hate or a relationship that's wrong. Deconditioning takes time, but it won't happen if your life is full of obligations you don't want.

Perfect for:

  • Generators learning to honor their sacral response
  • People questioning why they're always exhausted but not satisfied
  • Anyone stuck in obligations they don't want
  • Business owners who work in 3-day bursts then rest 3 days
  • Generators ready to decondition from "shoulds"

Keywords: generators human design, defined sacral center, respond not initiate, generator strategy, deconditioning from shoulds, life force energy, people pleasing generators, boundaries energy, fall into bed exhausted, commuter rail metaphor, closet obligations, half-ass responding, worker bee myth, pure generator vs manifesting generator

So let's get into the aura type four generator. Generator is the majority of the population comprising about 70% of the population. This will be quick and dirty. I have extended videos on my YouTube channel . 

Generator is a one of the aura types. Now of that 70%, it is roughly broken down into two types of generators. Pure generator and manifesting generator. What makes a generator a generator is they have a defined sacral center. A sacral center is one of the nine centers in human design. 

And do not confuse the sacral center with way you, what you might know about the chakra system. Again. If you're completely new to human design, I would check out my 1 0 1 video. That I placed on my YouTube channel. The chakra system is been blended into human design. So do not use a direct correlation between solar plexus or sacral or root. Any of that do not do a direct correlation from that. 

Into human design, something. I think people should mention more, . So ultimately the generators are here to build. In , old fashioned human design people call them the worker bees. They're not really the worker bees because that denotes people just droning on. 

And fundamentally the whole concept is that. The world is the way they are. It is. Because you have a number of generators that have been trained by what they call not self to build what they don't want. The whole concept. You just get up, you go to a job, you do what you have to do, your pay, your bills, you die. 

That is the generator. Generator has traditionally just kind of existed for other people. And so the thing about the generator that makes them the generator, in addition to being the majority of the population, Is that sacral? Define what they call that defined sacral. So the defined sacral is a powerhouse. 

It is a motor center. It can go. So other types do not have that defined. So they may have inconsistent access to their energy. Generators build manifestors initiate. , Projectors guide and coach and reflectors. Are very rare. They're 1% of the population they are an observer to whatever is going on in society and reporting back. So that sacral center in a generator is very powerful. And can build big things. , Each generator has what they call an authority . Authority is your decision-making generators. Have two types. 

Emotional authority or sacral authority, whether or not they have their solar plexus to find. But if you want to go up at level, which is what this introduction is for that generators have a strategy and that strategy is to respond. Rather than initiate. What they're doing is they're drawing things into their environment, people and various stimulus. 

So they can respond to it. They have a yes, no response to life. And I'm a generator. And I will say that I'm still learning this because it is a body knowing and a body response that we have unlearned as we've gone into more of a head-based society we moved away from us as a body beings. 

Please note that this is not intuition. Intuition is , very different intuition his higher self and the way that I think about intuition. Intuition conform the forum of signs and come to the forum. Of intuitive downloads. And, energy is changing. We're moving into the age of Aquarius. 

What is a sign? What is response? I actually think even human design as a system is changing. That's my personal opinion.

And, Ultimately what the types are when someone says you're a generator or you're a manifesting generator, or you're a. Manifester. It represents. The energy field that's around you, what people traditionally call auras, and that aura really draws people to you or repels people from you. And it speaks before you do, when you walk into a room, . It's energy. 

The generator has like a magnetic pole. It draws others into that energy field. And the concept of the generator is if you're living your life, right, you will draw into your life what you need when you are responding to the things you should be responding to. And when I say should, I mean, things that light you up, I do not mean things are an obligation. 

And yes, that is everything that is degrees. That is obligations. That is work. That is partners. That is friendships. That is, , events that his family obligations it's fundamentally deconditioning from the way we have been trained as a society to operate. So you can go into human design or. In and out as much as you want if human desire, but if you're very selective with it, you're not really going to get the full benefit of it. Because if you're half ass responding to life, you're going to have ask at results. 

My human design, 1 0 1, a series on YouTube is going to give you the more fundamental components of generator here is a little bit more off the cuff stuff that I learned as a generator in the last couple of years that I've been operating as one. 

One sacral response is not as obvious in certain people versus others. I was in my mid forties, early forties before I learned of human design. So I've got a lot of deconditioning. Come from the Northeast where you do things a certain way. I come from a certain academic background. So there's a lot of deconditioning on what you should and shouldn't do. 

The other big thing to know about generators is that. We are like a ship. I am living in the Boston area and we have a commuter rail. And what happens is the commuter rail. It goes from the suburbs to Cambridge. I'm sure people know Cambridge, Harvard and MIT is. And it'll sit there. Before it turns around and goes back and it has to sit there for a good 10 minutes. I was gonna say 20 minutes. It probably felt like a lot when I was a kid. But it has to sit there before it could turn itself around. And that's what a generator is. And so a generator has to be , really careful about what they say yes to in business and in life. I have learned this the hard way as a business owner. 

There are things that I've entered into. That I should do it this way, or I should offer this in my business or even getting , some of my degrees that I got, I was a couple of. Feet in. And then the thing with the generator is we're designed that once we start something, we finish it. And that's going to depend on the gates. You have. 

Not everyone has that design. I have that design, but generators as a whole, we build things. So when we start down a path, We are going to stay on that path at the detriment, our, of our money, our sanity, our body, our mental health. Because we need to finish what we start. I don't want to say robots, but we're generator, bunny thinking energy, Energizer bunny. Right. That's kind of what a generator is. When a generator is really lit up. 

And doing what they love. They can go for very long periods of time. Without a break. A generator is still a human. This is not a workaholic mentality, but there are generators and I'm one of them who are business owners. We. Have our own schedule and there'll be days I worked for three days in a row and then three days I don't work. 

It's very difficult to explain to people who do not. Work for themselves because people who are subscribed to those Monday through Friday mentality and you're off at five o'clock and it's just people don't understand you. And it's. It becomes very challenging when you start to really embrace your design and embrace human design because the people that are just not in sync with you just fall away. 

The generator is the powerhouse. The generator has a defined sacral. The generator is 70% of the population. The generator is here to build the generator. , Is here to respond to life. And the generator has, two types of authority, emotional authority and sacral authority. 

And. In theory, when the generator is lit up by life, they are in joy. Then the right opportunities and the right people will find the generator on their path. They don't need to worry about looking for things. Some things to just keep in mind, our generators should have , very strong boundaries on their energy. 

On their priorities , and check any kind of people pleasing. This is going to depend on your chart. This is going to depend on your gender. This is going to depend on your upbringing. and also on your profile lines . . Because the generator has such a power force energy. They're going to get roped into projects. People are going to see their capabilities. And so you need to be really careful about honoring that boundary 

Number two, you're still physical being. And so honor that you have a human body, you need, you have needs, you need to rest human design does not supersede functional medicine or nutrition, or some people have, autoimmune conditions, aging, they might be pregnant. You know, at the time of the month or whatever, if you need to rest, you need to arrest. 

I also honor the moon cycles when it comes to my energy. So I don't mean my personal moon cycle. The macro, like the moon in the sky. , I'm channel of rhythm and human design. So again, this is a generic statement that applies to 70% of the population. Your nuances are going to be in your chart. 

If you think you're doing something because you should, this is subtle. It's a subtle, and I'm not saying this is easy. Just check that. There are times when we have certain social obligations we follow through. Anyway. But I often, when I really started to question myself for this, there'd be an alumni event. I was like, , you should go to that. So you can network with people or. 

You should go to this thing. Someone would find me. Invite me to their kid's birthday party. And I was like, why am I doing this? Like, I don't want to go. So maybe then it starts to question, do I really care about having this person in my friend anymore? Do we have anything in common anymore? 

He just, you really started to unravel your life a bit when you start to question, but ultimately think about it as a closet. When you have a bunch of stuff in your closet that is no longer for you, it could be relationships and obligations and stuff in your calendar ways you're draining your life force energy. 

You're not allowing the universe to bring you more things. Because we have a lot of physical energy movement is really important to us. I have found that when I started to really honor my life force energy, I had a lot more energy. I got out of bed like this morning, I'm recording this podcast at sunrise. I got at a bed at five o'clock. I did not go to bed super early last night. So sleep is important, but I'm just saying that. 

If I don't go to the gym, I need to walk for at least one and a half to two hours a day. So you really want to use up that life force, energy and generators should fall into bed. 

Exhausted. Just to put it in perspective, human design would have exploded now, but it's been around since the nineties it's been around since before technology it's been around since before social media. So what is a response now is a response, a digital ad. Is it an email? Is it an intuitive download now that as we're heading into the age of Aquarius? 

Is it. Physical knowing, is it an email you get? Is it like an inspiration you get on social media? Understanding that subtle response is. Something that is going to be individual to each. And that's something that you're really going to start to learn. If you are a generator and you start to live as a generator, it's going to take time. 

But it will not happen if you fill your life with obligations that you don't want. And then you say, , I'll just do my human design on the side. It doesn't work that way. The humor job you hate. If you're in a relationship that is not for you. If you're living in an environment that you dislike, you have to find ways to find the things that you enjoy, even in that life and find ways to move out of that life. 

Because otherwise you're just going to be repeating that cycle and nothing is really going to change. I have a separate video on my YouTube channel. That video was recorded a long time ago. That has visuals. I'm sure that the. , Information I'm sharing on the podcast and the information I'm sharing on that video are actually complimentary. It's not going to be the same information. So check that out.
