22. The Manifestor (Part 1)

Speaker A: 00:00:00

The Auric function for manifestors is not about carrying life force, but rather initiating life force.

Essentially, manifestors bring the impulse, and in bringing the impulse, manifestors create ripples in the pond of the Maya that life force then responds to and initiation, which is not response, happens from an internal urge. The process of energy moving up and towards the throat to be expended is a very different type of energy usage.

Then the sacral energy happens in these spurts which are usually in human design referred to as urges and urges come from inside of the body, not response.

Speaker A: 00:02:26

In this section on the Manifestor we are going to talk about the mechanics of what makes a Manifestor based on center definition, which is being a non sacral with a motor to the throat. We'll Talk about the aura of the manifestor closed and repelling the manifestor strategy to inform the manifestor's signature.

We'll discuss what is even is peace, as well as the not self theme what is anger and what are the mechanics around peace and anger for the manifestor. We will talk about again my conceptualization of the vehicle's fundamental prerogative, which for the manifestor is to initiate.

And within this we will look at the natural state of rest for manifestors. And then the urges that come through as the exception to that default state.

And woven throughout will be many other concepts clarifying aspects of these as well as in addition to these topics, a review of manifestors. So these are the aura type basics that we've already visited. Manifestors make up about 9% of the population have a closed and repelling aura.

Sometimes you'll hear people describe the manifestor aura as pushing or impacting or magnetic. Magnetic as in there's two sides to a magnet. One magnetizes and one repels.

Manifestors experiment with the strategy of informing manifestors experience themes of peace and anger. And manifestors can have three authorities. We have emotional manifestors, splenic manifestors and ego manifestors.

And again, the mechanics of a manifesto always have an undefined sacral. And one or more of the non sacral motors connected by channel to the throat also doesn't have to be a direct line to the throat.

Any of the three motors can be connected by way of the spleen or the G, or both the spleen and the G. It doesn't have to be one of these direct channels of motor to the throat. So let's revisit these two components mechanics for a manifestor as an aura type come from two qualifiers. One, manifestors are non sacral, right?

If they had the sacral definition, they would be a generator and having motor to throat definition. We talked a significant amount about manifesting generators within the generator lecture because manifesting generators are generator types.

But we'll talk a little bit more about manifesting generators in order to compare and contrast the experiences that manifestors and manifesting generators as the two beings that have consistent motor to throat definition.

We'll talk about what the manifestor and the manifesting generator have in common and we'll revisit what they don't have in common because of the mangen's sacral definition.

So beginning with the first of those two qualifiers being non sacral, the manifester is the first of the three non sacral types that we are diving into. Let's talk about being non sacral. Again, let's revisit it. The sacral center is the most powerful motor center in the body.

It is the source of vitality, creative life force and sexual energy. It is the only motor center which provides the consistent and unconditional fuel that makes one available for life.

In other words, the sacral is the body's power source. In the last lecture for the Generator, we reviewed the qualities, the experience of having a defined sacral center.

And now let's revisit from our earlier lectures on the motor centers, what we discussed about the experience of having an undefined sacral center. So we already know this pretty well by this point. It makes you a quote non sacral.

You're in the 30% of the population that is a projector, manifestor or reflector. It means you have a life force that is inconsistent. Non sacrals borrow and and amplify sacral energy from others.

Borrow is not the best word because it's not actually taking away. The sacral being doesn't have to give up their sacral energy, right?

But we temporarily experience sacral energy through the amplification of it from others and or in the transits in alignment with our strategy and authority. The undefined sacral person is not designed for regular or consistent expenditure of energy.

Rather, instead, and especially this is the case with the manifestor, inconsistent bursts of energy for non sacrals. Your body does not experience satisfaction at the expenditure of energy, nor does it cue you when you are done expending. Energy.

Response mode, which is typically fueled by the sacral, will be exhausting for the non sacral types. Energy or non energy types, because those people, those beings, these auras, do not have consistent energy for response.

Therefore, being non sacral means you are not consistently available for life. However, life force exists within all of us. All of our definition is life force, right? Any channel that you have is life force.

Any gate that you have is the potential for life force. The sacral, though, is the power source for that life force to be powered up, to be active, to be energized.

We talked in the Generator lecture about how because the sacral center is so powerful, its effect on the entirety of the aura is so immense.

And this is why all sacredly defined beings have a aura that is at least to some extent very similar in that it is open and enveloping because of the energy coming from that sacral.

That means that the absence of definition in the sacral center is also going to have an immense effect on the aura of the Non sacral types, all types experience life force generators are the carriers of this life force and that is their auric function.

But all of the other three types have an auric function that has to do with the lack of that open and enveloping aura, the lack of that ability to respond for life. And it's not lack, right?

This is the correct design, the correct functionality for the other types is that there is not consistency for being available to life. There is not consistent energy to fuel your life force. There's a more limited capacity for sharing your life force.

If you are a non sacral and you share your life force in a way that has to do with your experience of amplifying the sacral motor. And each of the non sacral types, the way that I conceive of it is guide life force in their own way.

So as we go through the aura types of the manifestor, the projector and the reflector, we'll look at what is the unique way that the manifestor type, for instance, in this lecture, has an effect, has impact on the life force of the planet. The second part of these two qualities that make a manifestor a manifester, we have being non sacral.

And now let's get into having motor to throat definition. So revisiting the throat center. Some of this we've looked at before. The throat is the manifestation center of the body graph.

Remember, all roads lead to Rome roam being the throat center, head and ajna circuitry and definition is moving to the throat to be expressed externally.

And everything below the throat, the G, the ego, the sacral, the spleen, the solar plexus and the root, the pressure, the awareness, the resonance from those centers, the energy from those centers is moving up to the throat to be expressed. And the throat center is the release valve for all of that.

The throat deals with communication, self expression, manifestation and all interaction with the exterior world through verbalization and externalizing. The throat is where the pressure that begins at the head and the root is eventually released for those who have a defined throat center.

And so this is gonna be the case for all manifestors. Although defined does not mean motorized. So we'll look at that distinction in a moment.

But as a reminder for everyone, with a defined throat center, you have a consistent way of using your voice, expressing, acting and externalizing a consistent way of operating through the functionality of this manifestation center of the release valve. Depending on the centers and channels connected to the throat, people with a defined throat have a certain things to express consistently.

Although you may always feel able to talk and express, you don't always need to. It's easy to do too much with a defined throat because so much energy is always moving towards your throat.

The narratives of not self in your undefined centers are going to try to hijack that expression capacity that you have. And defined throat center people will use strategy and authority to determine when and what to externalize.

Now a motorized throat is something different that we've touched on. But let's look at it a little more closely.

Everybody who has a defined throat has a consistent way of using their voice, expressing, acting and externalizing.

But if your throat is defined through a connection to any of the motor centers, or if any of your motor centers have a connective circuitry that eventually gets to the throat and out in the definition, then this expression, this consistency of expression consistently has power as well. It's an impacting expression.

It's literally an energized expression that pushes because it's powerful, it pulls energy from inside of your body and pushes that out into the world. The throat is the manifestation center. So again, manifestation in human design is not about dreaming things into reality.

Manifestation in human design is the mechanical function of energy, power moving from the throat, from the internal world, through the throat into the external world and actually manipulating, changing, pushing the Maya, pushing the the external world. Manifestors move the Maya with their impact. That's a phrase that I first heard from John Martin, a long time human design experimenter and teacher.

He's a 6:2 splenic projector.

He talks about how in his like main manifestor lecture, which you can easily find online if you want, he talks about how manifesters are the only type that actually move the Maya. They move the energy in the external world. And that is a result of this mechanic of having motor to the throat. It's also a result though.

So for the manifesting generators you have this powerful impacting expression capacity. But the manifesting generators have an enveloping aura, not a pushing, impacting, close repelling aura.

So the pushing of the Maya is happening to an extent that is very different in the manifester body than in the manifesting generator body. Because the manifesting generator body has impact. The language, the use of the throat has energetic impact.

But on an auric level, which is a more significant level than center and channel definition. The shape and the function of the aura shows up in a much more significant way than than the aspects of the aura.

Minute aspects of the aura in any type that carry the frequency of the channels and the center definition. Manifestors are non sacral so manifestors are not consistently available to respond to life.

The Auric function of the manifestor is not about carrying life force, but rather initiating. Manifestors create ripples in the pond of the Maya that lifeforce then responds to.

So while what's happening, what's coming through the throat in both the manifester and the manifesting generator is motorized and has fuel to it. The manifesting generator aura is open and enveloping, so it's actually moving around what's happening in the Maya. It hugs it and envelops.

And the manifester aura is pushing and repelling. So it's actually moving the Maya. So there is a distinction there. And this is connected to manifestors being non sacrals.

So we've talked about this already, but let's revisit it now in the context of this impacting aura. Because of the throat motorization, Manifestors are non sacrals. They are not consistently available to respond to life.

Manifestors are the only non sacral energy type projectors and reflectors are considered to be non energy types in that their Auric function has nothing to do with the expenditure of energy. Manifestors function does have to do with the expenditure of energy. Manifesting is expending energy through the throat.

It's initiating through the throat by pushing energy through the throat. Maybe pushing's not the greatest word here. That's not what it feels like for me as a manifester.

It feels like just allowing energy that's already there to come up and out through my throat. But as I allow for that to happen, I'm essentially taken over with energy that moves through my body from my motor centers up to my throat and out.

And then from there it pushes, it moves the Maya.

But because we are non sacrals, even though our auric function has to do entirely with our motor definition and our motor to throat definition, we do not have consistent availability for life. So therefore we don't have availability to respond and we don't have these, this energy moving up and out of the throat consistently.

It's inconsistent. The motor centers that manifestor manifestors have operate inconsistently.

They do not operate all day every day, which can be the case for a generator. The Auric function for manifestors is not about carrying life force, but rather initiating initiating life force.

Essentially, manifestors bring the impulse. And in bringing the impulse, manifestors create ripples in the pond of the Maya that life force then responds to.

And initiation, which is not response, happens from an internal urge.

So manifesting generators and pure generators are consistently expending Energy and the energy that manifesting generators and pure generators use is being consistently powered up by the sacral, which again operates in this yes or no response, which happens as a result of touching energy outside of it. It's a very different type of energy usage for the manifestor in that yes, it is inconsistent. That's a big part of being non sacral.

But also the process of energy moving up and towards the throat to be expended is a very different type of energy usage than the sacral. Energy happens in these spurts, which are usually in human design, referred to as urges. And urges come from inside of the body, not response.

The sacral center operates in responding to the outside world.

The other centers moving to the throat, which is the mechanics of the manifestor, happen from this internal cue that then moves up through the body and out of the throat, kind of summing this up.

The mechanics for the manifesto as an aura type come from being non sacral, which means inconsistent energy, inconsistent availability for life with an auric function that affects, impacts, filters and guides life force in a specific way.

And having motor to the throat definition, which means manifestors manifest energy through the portal of the throat center, the closed and repelling aura. This is what we're going to talk about next.

This idea of not being consistently available to respond to life and having an Auric function that is about taking energy from inside and manifesting it outside through these urges. And the functionality of the closed aura is about protecting that process, protecting the limited energy of the manifestor.

Manifesters are the only type with a closed aura. The closed aura of the manifestor is designed to protect the manifestor from having to engage with outside forces.

The manifester does not have the energy non sacral to deal with outside forces not available to respond. Nor does the manifester have the genetic imperative to engage with the outside world. The manifestor is designed to be moved by these internal cues.

And the closed aura protects us from the external forces so that we can be driven, we can stay connected to these internal cues.

The closed aura serves to support the manifestors need to follow their own authority and timing, both in these cues, which are initiation, but also in rest. And it pushes obstacles out of the way, preventing interference from the outside world.

The auras not only close, it also repels, which is a word that most manifesters tend to feel away about when first learning about their aura. And there are people who will try to like, kind of pretty up that language.

The example that I shared on one of the first slides of this unit about the aura Being kind of like a magnet, it repels on one side and magnetizes on the other. I'm still kind of playing with that because, you know, the. The aura itself does repel.

But I think that when a manifester's initiation is correct for someone, it. It feels different. I wouldn't.

I don't think that it feels magnifying in the same way that a generator aura does, or generator aura literally pulls things towards it. Manifestor aura doesn't pull things towards it.

But when a manifester initiates, when a manifestor creates space through repelling, for some people, that spaciousness that's created is something that calls to them. It's something that they want to experience.

They want to be in the space that the Manifestor creates when it pushes its aura, when it pushes with its aura.

Because that space that the manifester is pushing, repelling aura creates, is space in some cases for new possibility, and sometimes that is new possibility that other types want to be invited into or want to respond to, or want to be initiated by. So this repelling part of the aura, it happens in order to make space around it for the Manifestor to move freely and independently.

Everywhere you go, there's generator energy coming in to hug, right?

If 70% of the population are generators and the sacral, the defined sacral, creates an open, expanding, enveloping aura, then anywhere a Manifester goes, where there are people, they're going to come into these open and enveloping auras that are swarming everywhere, wanting to reach out and touch it. And for the Manifester, that in most cases isn't going to feel very good, because the Manifester just wants to move at its own pace.

And I'm not talking about the mind of the manifester, I'm not talking about the believed preferences of the manifester.

I'm talking about on an energetic level, a bioenergetic field around the Manifesto, the aura is pushing repelling energy away from it so that it can be free again from these outside forces. This space and pushing also creates aura level impacting through the Manifesto's initiations.

The manifester aura has to push because again, limited energy. The manifester aura is designed to make impact, but does not have the consistent power of the sacral center to keep impacting.

So part of the reason why the Manifester is so impacting, why the Manifester's aura pushes, is because we only have the urge, we only have the moment of the urge to make the impact, and then that energy goes away, and then it's time to rest. It's time to move back to that default of rest. There's not like with a manifesting generator, for example.

Manifesting generators can make impact, but then they have the sacral motor to continue to curate the energy around them with their impact, with their language. The manifester with the closed aura without the defined sacral does not have that consistency.

So when the manifestor moves, when the manifestor initiates, all the impact happens, right then it's like a big, big bang of impact. And then the manifestor, the. The self manifestor, the correct manifesto will retreat, will go back to the default state of rest.

The manifestor's aura is closed, as in is not designed to be penetrated or to be in response, but rather to honor cues from inside of the aura and to resist all else. Here's a quote from Ra, who reminder was a manifestor himself. The manifester's aura is closed and repelling. Think about that.

A closed aura is the exact opposite of the generators. The generator has an open, enveloping aura. The manifestor has a closed, repelling aura.

As a matter of fact, as you approach a manifestor, the impact of his or her aura is that your aura compresses. Auras have a prana, a life, a breath. They're not fixed. They expand and contract. And the moment that you meet a manifestor, your aura contracts.

So that's a part of the repelling that happens when generators bump into each other. It's like, I don't know, squishy's the word that just came to mind. I don't know that it's actually squishy, but it's like there's a give.

There's a give. When a generator bumps into each other, when the majority of the population bumps into each other, there's a giveaway.

When those same auras bump into a manifester, there's not a give. You hit this brick wall energetically.

And so it makes sense, it's not personal that the aura of others contract when it hits the manifestors, however, and we'll.

We'll be feeling into this theme as we continue to explore the experience of the manifestor through strategy, through authority, through conditioning, through peace and anger. But I'll mention now that that experience of having an aura that repels, that other people experience contraction around is isolating.

It's isolating for the manifestor.

And typically the conditioning for the manifester is around being conditioned to try to distort that mechanical absolute, to try to stop oneself from having an aura that pushes and repels because it feels ostracizing because it can threaten people, because it. It is isolating, because it gives this sense of I don't belong.

Because when the generators are walking around bumping into each other and there's a give in their auras and then they hit a manifestor, that manifestor feels different. And oftentimes that manifestor doesn't feel safe. The manifestor has a aura that historically has a predatory, a potentially predatory angle to it.

And generators feel that. They feel that closed offness. And it can really feel like a threat. It repels. So a little bit more on the closed aura here. I found this.

There's a lot of human design Facebook groups.

I don't spend much time there, but I was doing a wider search a while back as I was seeking to more deeply understand mechanically, like, what is it that closes the Manifestor aura? Which I guess this is an okay moment to mention that the mechanics of the generator form are so simple because they are so based on one center.

And the sacral center itself, its mechanics are very simple. As we get into the mechanics of all the other aura types and we ask questions like why is the manifestor's aura closed and repelling?

Why is the projector's aura penetrating and absorbing? Why is the reflector's aura sampling like Teflon? We can understand the why when we understand the function of those aura types.

But seeing clearly the shape and feel of the aura becomes a little bit less simple because it's not coming from one simple center mechanic.

That's been my thought process as I've questioned through my open head and undefined aja and played with the ideas of how do we arrive to these aura shapes? Where do they come from? I have landed through a lot of consideration and some research on that.

The why is not as simple with the non sacral types as it is mechanically clear and simple with the generator. But in my process of arriving to that understanding, I found this. And I liked it. It's just a pretty succinct explanation.

Another explanation of why the Manifestor aura is closed. So I don't know who runs this page, but it was just posted from whatever like admin account runs this page. The human design zone.

Manifestor's aura is closed precisely because they are the only people on the planet who did not come to succumb to influence. They came to impact. It is closed so that you would not get through to them with your advices as a creature with a dependent aura.

So this is coming from the same excerpt here. This person added in parentheses yes, everyone except Manifestors has an aura that is dependent on external factors.

An aura that functions in a way that everything that is correct for it will, one way or another, come from the outside world. So this is about 90% of human population.

Noting the variations in percentages, what RA taught has changed because the configuration of planets that define centers and thus offer type in human design has shifted in the past 40 years since Ra first started teaching human design. 35. 40 years. And so at first it was always 8% manifestors. Now sometimes it's closer to 10.

If we look at the actual calculations based on the transits that we know have happened. I digress. So this idea here. The Manifestors are the only people on the planet who did not come to succumb to influence. Succumb to influence.

This is not a negative connotation. This is literally the design of the other three types.

They are literally designed to engage with and be influenced by other people on the planet or outside influence, I should say, because reflectors are more designed to be influenced by transits. But that's a topic for later. But the Manifester is the only one of the four aura types who.

Our aura is literally not meant to engage with outside influences, at least on an Auric function level. So Manifestors have openness, right? Manifestors receive conditioning, deal with the not self in our undefined centers.

We experience our movies through our openness based on transits and interpersonal conditioning, similarly to how every other type does.

But our Auric function has nothing to do with being conditioned, with taking in or touching energy outside of us the way that it does for all other three types. The basic Auric function of the Manifestor is not meant to be influenced externally. It comes from these internal cues.

We live on the generator planet. Think about it. Nothing in the nature of Planet Earth functions in initiation.

Any plant grows in response to water and the sun, animal populations change and migrate in response to weather conditions and insects, etc. The manifestor's aura is closed because it is the only mechanical opportunity to initiate an influence in this world.

And then they go on to say, Heard about the butterfly effect. The butterfly is a manifestor, of course. Such an aura will repel everything that comes to it.

I'll talk more about the butterfly effect on another slide. Getting into the Manifestor strategy. Informing. Informing is not a mechanical strategy. As mentioned in the intro to type section.

Typically strategy for the other types is a mechanical thing that the body already does.

And by quote, using our strategy for projectors, reflectors and generators especially, it's really not that we're using the strategy so much as that we have the strategy in mind in order to surrender to watching how the body already moves. But this is not the case for the manifestor. RA called it a fake strategy. Alaq has called it artificial. I've heard RA in recording say it's made up.

Don't tell anyone, but it's made up. Manifestors are the only aura type whose function, whose auric function does not require.

The Other is not here to succumb to influence, but rather to influence. And in fact the manifesto needs to be protected from the Other in order to influence and not be influenced.

Informing is essentially a way of dealing with the Other that minimizes resistance. So we'll break this down a bit. Here is a quote from RA on this idea of the manifestor strategy of informing being unnatural.

Strategy is an incredible thing. It gives us a technique, an ability through seeing the mechanics, to navigate correctly in the illusion. That is what strategy is about.

We have to teach manifestors this strategy because it isn't natural for them. Strategy for manifestors is a way to protect manifestors from themselves and to protect everyone else from them.

Manifestor children must be taught to ask permission as their strategy. This is how they avoid being punished for what they do. This is how they get along in their environment and integrate with others.

The adult strategy for a manifester is to inform, which is a great freedom for the manifester who leaves the parental household and no longer will ever want to ask anyone or anything for permission.

Yet at the same time, if adult manifestors are going to be able to integrate into society, if they're going to be able to have any kind of social dynamic in their lives, manifestors are going to have to learn how to inform. Otherwise it's going to be very difficult. We're going to talk more about informing.

I'll share a bit about my personal experience with it as a manifestor, but I want to note two more things in regards to this. So RA says that with Manifesto children they need to be taught to ask for permission.

I have not spent much time, I mean I do have Manifesto children in my lives, but I have not spent significant time with them because they're out of town family and I do observe some of my friends manifester children mostly online.

So I, I'm just clarifying that to say, like I haven't had much personal experimentation with this, but I, I do personally there's very, very little that I tend to poke at when it comes to things Ross said. Usually if I Don't agree with it.

I just kind of let it go and, and imagine that I will understand it from a different angle, another at another point. But as a manifester I just, I feel a little repelled by the idea, I suppose, that kids should ask for permission.

I'm going to add nuance to this and kind of walk it back after I say it. But for me it's been a challenge to decondition my tendency to ask for permission.

I have been very conditioned, or I should say my conditioning often takes on the shape of me asking for permission rather than informing.

So I'm just have a curiosity around why we teach manifester kids to ask for permission when that is potentially the crux of their not self as an adult.

As an adult, asking for permission can often feel like trying to get the external world to corroborate with our internal cues, which isn't how it works. It's not mechanically correct for manifestors.

I probably wouldn't have included this if I didn't have a manifester friend who has two manifester kids and has voiced multiple times that she does not agree with the idea of teaching manifestor kids to ask for permission either. She teaches her kids to inform. Now when I think about this again, I'm not a mother. I haven't done much work with kids, young kids at least.

When I think about how could manifest your children inform in a way that allows for the parent to still have an authority to the degree of keeping the child safe, keeping the child alive, because that's a necessary aspect for parent child relationships, right? Or for authority figure, external authority figure child relationships.

And when I imagine what it what might feel most correct for a manifestor kid, which I have once been in a way that does not negate the necessity of having parental parameters, I think about it being informing in a flavor that has preferences tied into it. So for example, instead of saying can I go outside informing the parent I'd like to go outside.

And the child understanding that the parent is going to be able to respond in a way or inform back perhaps if they're a manifestor in a way that honors the urge that the kid is having, but also honors the necessity of the parental role in the situation. So this is extra.

I certainly do not have any qualifications or much experience to be able to speak with a confident external authority on manifester kids because I have not worked with them, but I have been one and I have grown up feeling like it is very difficult to get out of the habit of asking for permission disconnected from the kid idea. But coming back to the idea of informing being a strategy to protect, protect others from manifestors.

Alak, one of my teachers who is also a manifester emotional manifestor, he one there was a time that he talked about what informing was from this lens of manifestors being the predator. There was difficult for me to hear at first, but over time I sat with it and it, I and I watched it and it started to feel very true to me.

It was true to my mechanical experience. Alak says that manifestors are the predator.

And because of the closed aura, because other types bump up against the closed aura the and feel that it's different. The other types have a sense of I can't control this thing, I can't predict this thing and this thing is going to impact me.

So informing for the manifester is a practical way of letting people know. And these are a locks words coming up here. Yes, I'm the predator, yes I could eat you, but don't worry, I've already had my lunch today.

So yeah, I just wanted to share that anecdote. It's like the, the other types can feel into each other who's safe for me, who's not.

And it's not that that's completely out the door when it comes to manifestors because other types still have their strategy and their authority to help them guide correct engagement with a manifestor for them. But because you know, a lot of the world isn't operating according to strategy and authority.

When a lot of people hit that closed manifestor aura, there's just an automatic threat because the not self world wants to control everything and manifestors cannot be controlled. And people feel that when they bump up into the manifester.

And so the manifester makes things a little bit easier for themselves and alleviates the resistance and the feeling of threat that others might have from them that might then turn into resistance. And trying to control the manifestor by saying this is what's happening, it puts everyone at ease.

I'm going to do this now, I'm going to move in this direction tomorrow I'm going over here. Letting people know what's happening inside your closed aura so they have a heads up.

This is the direction my aura is about to be pushing in, helps to put them at ease, which helps them to then humanize the manifestor because they can't feel the human inside of the manifestor the same way they can feel the human inside of the types that give a little, right? The generator and even the projector and projectors have their own version of ostracization.

But projectors and generators can certainly connect orally very deeply. Projectors and projectors can connect orally very deeply. Generators and generators have the give.

So when we're Talking about the 90% of the world that is projectors and generators, when they hit up a manifestor, not only does it feel different, but it also can feel like a threat. So informing is a way to put everyone at ease, which in my experience just allows for more ease of flow all around.

So if informing is not the mechanical strategy, what then would be the mechanical strategy? Right. And so we know informing is the strategy for manifestors.

It is the strategy and it is the strategy on, you know, kind of a learned mental plane. We have literally Ross strategized through his own experience as a manifestor. What do I have to do to alleviate resistance?

But that's a different use of the word strategy than the way that strategy shows up for the other aura types. So just revisiting the definition of strategy that I offered in the generator lecture that applies to the other three aura types.

Strategy is the way of your vehicle, form or body asterisk. Except for the manifestor. Except for the manifestor, Strategy is actually not mentally strategical. It's the most organic, simple practice.

And you, you, as in your mind, your personality, aren't actually doing it. Your body does it. Your mind tries to interfere according to your undefined center conditioning.

Following your strategy is really just a tool to help you gain awareness that this is what your body already does so that you can surrender to it. Strategy helps you to watch the quote problems rather than to engage with them or get locked into them. Now, except for the manifesto. Right?

So the reason I'm asking this question, if we know the strategy for the manifestor is to inform, and that is the practical strategy that helps us stay in our signature of peace, which is true, but it's not actually the organic way of the body like it is for the other types. As a manifestor, it has been fruitful for me to explore the question of what then is the organic way of my body?

If it's not informing, because it's not informing is a coping mechanism, then what is it?

And mechanically, the function of the manifester is to initiate it is this non sacral, this inconsistent motor to throat pushing of energy, expressing of energy, literal manifestation, which in human design means initiation. I also like to play with different ideas, like I have different ones come to mind that I'll play with for little bits at a time.

These are some of the ones that I've played with.

I like to play with these ideas for ways of engaging with my Auric function, or I guess watching my Auric function, calling in, honing allowing my Auric function that aren't based on my interaction with the other.

Because the strategy of informing for manifestors is based on my interaction with the other, which for the manifester is not even about my Auric imperative, right?

So manifestors, even our, our strategy has to do with dealing with other people's reactions to us and dealing with other people's discomfort with our aura. And as an aura type that is not here to be influenced by the other, it kind of bugs me that my strategy is about keeping others at ease, right?

And I think that is mechanically, it makes sense mechanically, that that would kind of bug me, right?

So as a manifesto, I want to know what's this, what's the strategy that I can surrender to just for myself, just for watching my own aura move and surrendering to the way that my own energy and my Auric function plays out. So here are some of the ones that I've played with. Simply have fun, do what I want. And I think that works quite well.

So inviting other manifestors to play with that. I also like the idea of wait for the urge, right?

Because everybody else's strategy has a wait in front of it, a wait to respond, wait for the invitation for projectors, wait a lunar cycle for reflectors. And for the manifestor, there is a lot of waiting. There actually is a lot of waiting as we have inconsistent urges that come from our motor centers.

They're not always turned on. I have talked about a little already and I have another slide on this, that the default state for manifestors is rest manifestors as all non.

As is the case for all non sacrals, the default state is to be at rest. And a manifestor moves when an urge comes, interrupts that rest, and moves the manifester into action, into initiation.

So there is actually quite a bit of waiting in the manifestor experience. So I've played with the idea of waiting for the urge as a strategy as well.

I think maybe it's not as important of a thing for manifestors as the idea of wait to respond or wait for the invitation, for example, because for the other types, they are conditioned to initiate and manifestors do initiate.

So we don't really have to like tell ourselves to wait for the urgent, but then we get conditioned to think we have to be available to respond all of the time to overly value invitations that come from others.

When invitations that come from others and things that we respond to as manifestors, they're always going to compromise the sanctity and integrity of the actual urge moving through us. Because the correct functionality for a manifesto is to from nothing uninfluenced by the outside forces, be moved internally. Right?

And so I have found it useful to think of this idea of wait for the urge, because similarly to how a generator like it can behoove a generator to practice just stopping so that they can relax into the experience they're having and see what the sacral wants to respond to in this moment, rather than moving from undefined root pressure conditioning or whatever the conditioning is, it can behoove a generator to just sit still, still for a moment and see what is my sacral actually wanting to respond to right now.

I think similarly for a manifester, it can be useful to stop moving from a place of conditioning, which is often that non sacral, not knowing when enough is enough stuff, so that we can just relax, let all that extra energy get out of our bodies, attune to our own frequency, and then wait until we just naturally move helps me to honor my natural state of rest as a non sacral.

And another thing that I have played with and that I tend to keep in mind as a strategy for me that's not necessarily about putting others at ease, is to relate, connect and respond in my own time and on my own terms.

So it's not that like I can't respond to text messages, or I can't respond to social media comments, or I can't accept invitations to hang out with friends, or invitations for certain work collaborations.

But if I give myself the time to wait for the urge in how I relate, respond, connect to others, to their invitations, to the way they speak to me, then I give myself the opportunity to enter that connection, that relationship, that collaboration, whatever it is, in a mechanically correct way. Because I allowed myself to do it when I got the urge for it and how I got the urge to it.

So in my own time and on my own terms, that's been really useful for me because for quite a while in my deconditioning, there was a phase where I was like very aware of how uncomfortable response felt for me. And it feels like it was just a necessary part of my process and.

But I did get a bit dogmatic about it, like, oh, if I didn't initiate it, then it won't feel good for me, There's a truth to that. But if I take off the pressure to respond or not respond and I Just give things space, kind of just consider everything as information.

If I don't move reactively right, then it gives me the opportunity to just have all the information move through my life, inside my closed aura and see perhaps I will move towards these things on my own terms. But let's talk about informing because it is our strategy and it is hugely important in keeping our peace. Informing is not demanding.

I did not experience this, but apparently many manifestors go through a phase where they learn about informing and they just start making demands. Informing is not demanding. Informing protects our autonomy as manifestors. And autonomy is deeply important and crucial to the manifestor mechanic.

In informing protects our autonomy, again, by letting people know this is what's happening so that they feel at ease, so that they don't try to interfere with it. But our informing is not meant to compromise other people's autonomy.

Other people have their own strategy, their own response, their own authority, their own process. People are not supposed to just bend at the pushing aura of the manifester, right? The manifester informs. This is what's happening.

We create the ripple in the pond, but then all the energy around all the water in the pond is going to respond in a way that is correct for them or not respond in a way that is correct for them. So informing is not demanding. Informing is letting people in on what's about to happen because they don't know.

Most manifestors do not realize how much of a closed book we are because it's not a conscious decision to be closed off as a manifester.

In fact, there are many cases in which manifestors probably wish that we weren't closed off because then we wouldn't have to inform and we wouldn't ha. We wouldn't move through the world making impact accidentally all the time.

You know, it's sometimes it's exhausting to have an impact that is constantly pushing and moving things because people are reacting everywhere in our wake and that creates more things for us to deal with, right?

So we don't realize manifestors were very just like in our own lane, in this closed bubble, like after our peace, in our own process, we're the most independent of all of the types and we take for granted that that's the case. We don't realize our impact on others because others do not impact us the way that we impact them.

So it's like impossible for us to conceive of the extent to which people are impacted by us and our impact is unpredictable to them. So informing is a courtesy that we offer to let people in on what's about to happen to them.

And I bring up this idea of courtesy, I think, with two things in mind. One, what I've already talked about, which is helping to put other people at ease, which in turn supports us and allows us to be more at ease.

But I also bring up the word courtesy for this other reason, which is this might sound a little more like pinchy than I mean for it to sound. Welcome to listening to a manifestor talk. But we don't owe informing to anyone. As a manifester, it's a courtesy. It's not our mechanical strategy.

It doesn't always feel correct for us. It takes energy that we might not actually have. You know, sometimes I find myself informing and it's part of an urge, but that's not always the case.

Sometimes I do not want to be in process with anyone. I don't have energy for that. And I still inform as a courtesy because I want the people in my life to be at ease around me.

I want to pay people the courtesy of letting people know what's about to happen. Coming back to this idea of what's about to happen, this is going to be different based on the manifestor's authority.

Whether they're an ego manifestor, splenic manifester, or emotional manifestor, the feel and the timing of this will be different. But generally speaking, manifestors, we're not any more in control of what's happening than the other types.

It's just that we get the cue from inside while everybody else gets the cue or the invitation or whatever it is from outside. So when we're letting people know what's gonna happen, we're not saying this feeds into, not demanding. We're not saying, I want this to happen.

You know, we're saying, oh, it. This seems to be what's happening. Oh, I am going over here. We're just kind of narrating.

That's how it feels to me, just kind of like narrating my process as I go. Informing is an acknowledgment of both our impact and our closeness.

So this courtesy that manifestors can pay to others of informing them is an acknowledgement that, hey, I know I have impact.

I know that the way I move through the world affects those around me in a bigger way than the way some of the other aura types move through the world. And it's an acknowledgement that you can't read that right.

And so if you're a manifester, fresh to the system, you might not be ready to acknowledge your impact and your closeness because again, inside of this bubble, behind this brick wall, inside of this closed aura, we don't realize the level of our impact and we don't realize that we're closed. So if it doesn't resonate with you right now, then don't inform. You know, again, it's a courtesy.

When you start to see the mechanics of your closed and repelling aura, then when you. Then you'll start to notice it might be useful to the people around me and thus to myself for me to offer this courtesy.

So don't respond, manifestors to my talking about informing. You inform on your own terms if and when the urge arises for you to start playing with it and experimenting with it.

Informing is a way to put others at ease, which allows them to consider or remember the manifestor's humanity. You'll hear oftentimes manifestors talk about, or people talk about how inside of this closed aura, we're very sensitive.

Manifestors are sensitive beings who as children tended to be.

I'm getting emotional thinking about it, talking about it as children tended to be ostracized because of our closeness, because of the threat that we posed, parents trying to control us, punishing us more, more harshly than other children were punished, teachers doing the same, authority figures, peers doing the same. Part of the anger for manifestors comes from, I guess, one way to phrase it.

The way it's showing up for me in this moment is like feeling like I have to advocate for my humanity. But I spent quite a bit of time in my deconditioning there, like, feeling kind of victimized by that.

And eventually, as I watched the mechanics, as I observed other manifestors in the way that they felt to me, as I considered in retrospect, the way that people in my life have loved me and felt threatened by me, or loved me or felt threatened by me, I've been able to watch the mechanics of this without feeling victimized by it. I've been able to come to a place where I see that my instinct to feel that I need to advocate for my humanity is not anyone's fault.

It's mechanically what happens that my aura pushes. And I don't have to blame anyone or take personally that that happens.

But what I can do to put others at ease is just let people know, hey, I'm not going to hurt you. This is what's happening. Hey, I'm open to this. I'm moving in this direction. Here's what I'm about to do.

You can maybe come along or you can politely move out of the way. Because this is what's happening and I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to steamroll you.

But I'm doing this because this is where my body's moving me. You're getting the manifester download from an emotional manifester, so there's a lot of emotions wound up in it.

I see it from many different places depending on where I am in my emotional process. And overall, the clarity I have on all of this has a lot of depth and a lot of dimensions to it as an emotional manifestor.
