28. Aura Type in Summation

Speaker A: 00:00:00

It's very natural when we first come into human design, when we are being confronted with the limitation of our form based on our aura type as well as our undefined and defined centers, it's very natural to have a moment of feeling a bit victimized by our aura type, right? This is why the Saturn Return is such an important and pivotal moment in all of our development.

Whether we find human design before, during or well after it.

The Saturn Return is about reckoning with the limitations of your form, which ultimately offer the potentiality for you to live as yourself in the most aligned and satisfied, peaceful, surprised or successful way.

But there's first has to be this moment, and it could be a moment, or it could be multiple years of surrendering to and oftentimes a sort of mourning or grieving process.

Welcome to the Living Your Design Podcast. I'm your experimentor Kelsey Rose Tortorice.

This podcast is an audio only release of the full length in depth Human Design Foundations course I've been teaching over the last several years.

It is a no bullshit, comprehensive, embodied introduction to the human design system that will challenge your ego mind and support you in your process of reuniting with the unique wisdom of your body.

In episode one, I speak a bit about the process that led me to releasing this course for free free in podcast form, and I offer a few notes that might be useful to contextualize and clarify what you'll hear in this episode and beyond. I recommend giving that short intro episode a listen if you haven't yet.

The LYD podcast is part of a larger living body of work, a growing archive of my teachings about consciousness through the languages of astrology and human design, hosted in an online community space where I stay in orbit with my students, mentees, alumni, peers and collaborators.

For more information about how to connect with me and tune in to my archives and ongoing live teachings, including how to access the original LYD course, complete with videos and slides. Stay tuned to the podcast or check out patreon.com/KelseyRoseTort. Thank you for tuning into my transmission of Living Your Design.

It's a deeply personal and somewhat vulnerable share that I feel honored, humbled and excited to release into the world. I hope that it helps you remember and come home to yourself.

So Aura Type Considerations in summation here, some takeaways to go from this type section. Here's what we'll be talking about. We'll do a review of type categorization. We'll talk about this idea of reality creation by type.

What does each type contribute to reality I want to talk about the grass is greener, complex, very natural, cross type signature potentials. In other words, how do non manifestors access peace and do they? How do non projectors access success and do they?

And or some aura type universalizations. Again, just some kind of things that we can each take away from the experience and the dilemma and the contradiction of each of the four aura types.

Starting with this type categorization, we have these categories. Each type has something in common with two other types, something different in common with two other types.

So starting with a very obvious one, generators and manifestors are the two energy beings. The energetic aura and functions are based on a motor center.

Projectors and reflectors are non energy beings, what I sometimes have referred to as awareness types. Their functions have nothing to do with motorized energy, even though some projectors do have defined motor centers.

So one way of categorying the types is splitting them in half according to Generators and manifestors are the energy types, Projectors and reflectors are the non energy types. Then we have this idea of generators and projectors being naturally interpersonal.

They are naturally interpersonally tuned in their auras tune into the auric realm here on Earth in other auras. How does life force come to and through you? On an other auric level, that's generators and projectors.

These are auras that seek relationality to some extent. They're more susceptible to interpersonal conditioning and less so to the program, AKA the transits.

While manifesters and reflectors are more collectively tuned in, less interpersonal and more attuned orally to the collective themes as they're coming through the transit field, coming through the evolution, the unfolding of the story that is the program. Less susceptible to interpersonal conditioning and more to the program.

So manifestor, in my belief and in my experience, manifestor urges are coming from the program. Manifestors kind of default live in this relaxed void space. But when manifestors show up to initiate, we're the motorized throat of the collective.

We're the portal for the program to come through human form. Manifestors are these conduits from 5D, other dimensional, whatever you want to call it, realms and energy to come through.

The manifester is the third dimensional conduit that brings that through. And it's the program that's feeding that through the manifestor. We get it from our internal cues inside our closed aura.

The reflectors are not making anything happen, it's more neutral. Reflectors rather are simply showing conveying what it is that's already happening both in the transit field and in the environment.

But remember, for both, for all these forms of conditioning, whether it's more interpersonal generators and projectors, or more impersonal collective reflectors and manifestors, it's still a form of conditioning.

And each type has their own strategy for tapping into what makes me different, what sets me aside from both my primary and secondary modes of being conditioned, whether primary or secondary for you is the interpersonal Auric conditioning field or the transit program conditioning field, which is swapped based on these two categories. Then we've got this other way of categorizing the types where the projector, who we previously categorized as being with the reflector. Right?

The awareness type versus the energy types, the generator and the Manifestor. Well, the projector is an awareness type or a non energy type that is still a solar being.

So we've got this solar orientation having a fixed life force, an essence that is emitted out of you with some consistency, that is the generator manifestor in the projector versus our only lunar being, the reflector, whose aura functions in a way that does not have any fixed life force emitting out, but rather receives life force that colors its experience and allows for its auric functionality. Two ways so far of just kind of summing up, universalizing these ways of understanding the types in relation to each other. Here's another one.

We have this spectrum of personal to impersonal auras. The least personal aura is the reflector. It's the least personal because it has no fixed personal life force.

It's this neutral process of sampling all the energy and reflecting it back out. And then we have the Manifestor aura, slightly more personal than the reflector because the manifester has a fixed life force within itself.

But it's impersonal in that it's not really designed to be personally affected by the influence of the other. It's meant to influence the other through its connection to the transit field.

Then we have the Generator, who is out here in the conditioning field of the interpersonal Auric conditioning. But it's more personal than the projector because for the generator, the question is still who am I? Right.

For the Generator, it's still about knowing themself. Whereas for the projector, they understand themselves, they know themselves through knowing the other.

So of the two interpersonal auras, the manifester is more personal because it does have a fixed life force. And then we have the two more naturally personal auras.

But the generator is less personal than the projector because it's engaged in its own solar knowing versus the projector peers into the other in order to come into tune with awareness of its own solar knowing.

This idea of reality contributions, I think a lot about the intersection of, you know, law of attraction and reality perception having an effect on our lived, manifested reality.

I'm often sort of in my undefined Ajna, processing through the ways that the no choiceness and the surrender of human design does and doesn't, can, can't intersect with this other thing that I just know on some level to be true, that our perception does create our reality. So this was just a little thought experiment.

It's, it's, it's not complete, I don't think, but a thought experiment and process that I thought I would share. How I tend to think of what each type's sort of contributions to reality are. Pure generators are reality carriers.

Manifesting generators are reality curators. They're both carrying reality, the custodians of life force, right?

But manifesting generators also have the initiatory mechanic, the ability to curate the energy as they carry it, curate the reality around them as they carry it, versus the generators. The pure generators are these pure custodians, these vessels for carrying reality. Projectors are the reality clarifiers, right?

They peer into it and they offer with their awareness this potential guidance that can clarify how the pure and manifesting generators are carrying and curating reality. Manifestors actually create the reality, right?

Go into the void space, become these conduits for how the program is being delivered to all of us here on Earth. And manifestors create new directions for new iterations of new ripples in reality through initiation.

The difference here between creating reality and curating reality, right? Manifestors go whole new reality over here. Then manifesting generators go around.

They're already out there in the reality carrying it with the pure generators, but they can kind of clean it up a little bit, make it more efficient. And really, projectors have a big role to play in that efficiency as well. And then reflectors, reality checkers or collectors through their sampling.

The word I really like is assessors. They assess reality. Kind of feeding into the grass is greener complex. That I'll talk about more specifically in a moment.

I just want to name and acknowledge that all of the types are conditioned to be all of the other solar types. I don't think any of us are really conditioned to be reflectors, at least at this point in time.

But reflectors are conditioned to be all of the three other types. Generators are conditioned to be manifestors and projectors. Manifestors are conditioned to be generators and projectors.

Projectors are Absolutely conditioned to be manifestors and generators. The conditioning of homogeneity says that we should all be manifesting generators, right?

Because a fully defined body graph is a manifesting generator. And also, you know, homogeneity says create, initiate, manifest and sustain. It says we should be able to do both.

So we're all conditioned to be all of it. And if we had to boil it down to what one type are we all conditioned to be, I would say manifesting generators.

However, and also manifesting generators and pure generators and projectors are all very much conditioned to be manifestors to engage with life force in ways that are not conducive to the their vehicle's intelligence. No type except manifestors are designed to initiate.

And even though manifestors are undefined sacrals, deeply conditioned to be sacral beings, sacral beings and projectors alike and reflectors are all conditioned to initiate and impact, whereas the initiators and impactors manifestors are conditioned to wait and to overly consider the other, to perform an openness to try to be available beyond our capacity. Generators, the only type that is here to sustain work and creation and energy expenditure are conditioned to work beyond their capacity.

And for purposes other than their satisfaction, reflectors are quite literally conditioned to buy all of it, all of the time. So this is all just kind of feeding into this idea here. I want to talk about the grass as greener complex.

It's very natural when we first come into human design, when we are being confronted with the limitation of our form based on our aura type as well as our undefined and defined centers. It's very natural to have a moment of feeling a bit victimized by our aura type. Right?

It's sort of an, in my opinion and experience a bit of a necessary part of the process of deconditioning and eventually accepting the limitations of your own form to be a little pouty about the fact that you have these limitations. And this is why the Saturn return is such an important and pivotal moment in all of our development.

Whether we find human design before, during or well after it.

The Saturn return is about reckoning with the limitations of your form, which ultimately offer the potentiality for you to live as yourself in the most aligned and satisfied, peaceful, surprised or successful way. But there's first has to be this moment.

And it could be a moment or it could be multiple years of surrendering to and oftentimes a sort of mourning or grieving process. And I have myself very much so experience and watch many others experience from the place of mind, feeling sort of victimized by the limitations.

I have felt very victimized by a lack of recognition as a manifestor, by a lack of ability to consistently show up and generate as a manifester.

I know all non manifestors have moments where they really believe that things would be easier if they could just initiate because there's this fallacy that the manifestor is more in control, which is not the case.

I just want to pay homage to the fact that I do think this is a part of our natural process to look at where the mind feels victimized by the limitations of our form. But I also want to acknowledge that the grass is not actually greener. This is what it is to be alive, right?

To be human is to face an existential dilemma. The dilemma of I am God, but I am stuck in human form and in my human form I have limitation. I am eternal and yet I am temporal.

This is the human condition.

Limitation of physical reality is the human condition, condition that is both a source of suffering and also the entire point of being incarnated, of fragmenting ourself off from the timeless, spaceless, physical less nature of consciousness and our eternal connection and of selfness in oneness. The point is to incarnate and to experience this illusion of separation in the form of the embodiment in your specific aura. It's intentional, right?

The intentional illusion of separation. And so to face your.

Your personal dilemma, which is largely having to do with the limitation of your form based on your aura type, but has so many different nuances and complexities and uniqueness to it based on all the other aspects of your design to grieve your mind's projected life and identity is valid, worthy, acceptable and necessary to some extent.

We don't want to bypass, we don't want to repress the anger, the frustration, the disappointment and the bitterness that we feel about the limitation of our form, because those not self signatures show up to clarify to us what the limitation of our forms is. Ignoring it does not do the trick.

You know, when you feel victimized, feel victimized enough so that you can move through it, honor and transmute that limitation in the grief or victimhood that you might feel, feel as a part of your process of surrendering to and embracing that limitation. Because that's a part of the process here, right? And what this makes me think of is whether your solar plexus is defined or not.

The story of the evolution of humankind and of consciousness in human form is where moving from, we've already evolved from Splenic, our most ancient awareness center, to Strategic ajana mental awareness. And now we're in process of evolving to operating from this more sophisticated, evolved awareness that is the solar plexus center.

And this is a species thing, this is not a individual thing. So this applies to you, whether you're defined in the solar plexus or undefined.

That we're shifting operating systems from the mental plane to the emotional plane.

And the emotional operating system requires that we honor all the parts of the emotional process which include feeling sad, defeated about the limitation of our form, regardless of what vehicle we're in, regardless of what aura type we are embodying.

So allow yourself to feel it, allow yourself to move through it, but don't for a second get that confused with there being any truth in the idea that another type has it easier than you. And it would all be much better if only you could initiate, if only you could work like a generator.

I want to talk about this idea of, you know, manifestors being designed for peace and peace alone. Generators for satisfaction and satisfaction alone, projectors for success, reflectors for surprise.

The way that I tend to orient to this is through this, this simple idea here. Align to your signature, the rest will follow. As a manifestor, if I am chasing satisfaction or success, I am going to deny myself of my peace.

But as a manifester, if I align to my peace and prioritize my peace, I will get to experience the versions of satisfaction and success that are available to me. Within the realm of my prioritization of peace, I will get to experience satisfaction through amplifying the satisfied generators sacrals around me.

I will get to experience success just like projectors experience success by living as themselves. I will get to experience the success of living as myself, the success that's available to me in the limitation of my own form and my own embodiment.

But those things only come to me when I understand that satisfaction and success are not the point and that chasing them is a distraction from my peace.

As a generator, if you go chasing peace thinking, oh, I just need to rest more, oh, I just need to get everything off my plate, you're going to end up with this pent up, unsatisfied, frustrated sacral, right? The generator's version of peace is a part of satisfaction, right?

The feeling at the end of a day where you've used up all your energy and you feel so deeply satisfied because it was fucking fun and it felt good to use that energy up in the ways that you did. That's how generators come into peace.

But if generators try to prioritize some homogenized idea of what peace is and are just hell bent on, you know, whatever that looks like, like all the meditation, all the vacations and are denying their sacral mechanic expenditure of energy, then it's going to be a fake peace, you know, it's going to be a frustrated frustration under the guise of peace.

So for generators aligned to your satisfaction, prioritize your sacral satisfaction and you will find all the success that's correct for you and you will experience peace underneath the umbrella of satisfaction just as you're designed to projectors. You know, peace and peace feels like it's a part of projectors becoming at peace with awaiting correct and aligned invitations and recognition.

So aligning to peace might be a part of the process of aligning to success for the projector, but chasing satisfaction, it's gonna make you be this manipulated, non defined, undefined sac being who's just chasing recognition and success rather than allowing it to come to you. It's going to put you in a stuck on the on position trying to initiate, trying to generate.

And the success that you're designed for that comes through people recognizing you as you are will be out of sight, right?

So for the projector, aligning to success, success as living as yourself will give you the satisfaction of functioning as yourself as a projector and the peace that comes along the way with that.

And same for reflectors, reflectors for you, it's about being surprised by the peace, satisfaction and success that you come into, that you observe, that you sample and that you amplify through not being attached to any of those iterations, any versions of those things, or any iterations of those things that come through you that you are meant to sample temporarily. And then lastly, I want to share another kind of little thought experiment that I posted on social media not that long ago.

It's a little bit of a wordy intro here. But for me, when I look at what is like I told multiple types that, you know, you're, you're inherently contradictory in your being.

This, that is a universal universality to all of us.

Because even in the intentional illusion of separation that is our embodiment in limited form of a fragment of wholeness, we are all still also these eternal beings. This, this shared consciousness that experiences all of the above.

And so there's aspects of each kind of the dilemma or the contradiction that goes with each type, primarily the potential suffering of each type and the flavor of surrender and acceptance that when accessed for each type brings more freedom.

There's aspects of each of those Four unique sort of lessons that are grander in the context of each type of, but that are universally applied to some extent to all of us. So I just want to pay a little homage to that sort of way of thinking here. Here's the very wordy sort of title.

Things that are a functional Auric promise and necessity for each aura type, but that are also an ideal and a lesson for each of us to universally engage with in more subtle ways.

So there's going to be four things here, one for each aura type that I consider to be a functional Auric promise and necessity for that aura type, but that within it holds lessons and ideals that each of us can universally engage with in more subtle ways for the ones that are not our type. Beginning with the reflector.

Here, the functional Auric promise and necessity for the reflector aura is sampling through openness with resilience, gaining wisdom through change and fluidity, being an oracle, knowing truth from distortion. This is the functional Auric promise for the reflector as well as the necessity for the reflector to align to in order to function correctly.

This is what the reflector is designed for.

Sampling through openness with resilience, gaining wisdom through change and fluidity, being an oracle through their openness, knowing truth from distortion. And this is what the sampling and resilient aura of the reflector ensures. It is the base octave of the reflector experience.

And for the other 99% of us, this is a quality and aspect of being that is available to all of us wherever we have openness. Your undefined centers, channels and gates are all there to do this. To taste the flavors of life that aren't you. To sample them and let them go.

To watch your body's ability to discern truth from the Maya. The functional Auric promise and necessity for the manifestor for the closed aura is to protect the vehicle's sacred directive.

I talked multiple times about manifestors being these conduits that get this sacred divine cue from the program field inside of our closed aura to initiate. We are the vessels for the beginnings of whatever the program is unfolding. It happens through the manifester form.

The closed aura protects that directive that the manifestor gets from the Ethereum. This is what the manifestors closed and repelling aura does automatically and without any effort or will.

It is a non negotiable of what is happening on an Auric level for manifestors always. And this is a sentiment available to every person, regardless of your type. You can honor and surrender to your body's wisdom.

You can protect the Vehicle's sacred directive. You can protect the directive of the generator vehicle to carry and be the custodian of this life force.

You can protect the sacred directive of the projector vehicle to await clear recognition, true recognition, and then be selective in when you offer based on that invitation. You can protect the vehicle's sacred directive for the reflector vehicle by remaining detached as you process through the lunar cycle.

Allowing and watching your strategy and your authority is what for all of us is what protects the vehicle sacred directive. It protects your own life's Auric intention. Living your design, AKA following strategy and authority.

For the projector, the Auric lesson, the Auric function and necessity is value your own uniqueness, awareness and expression enough to reserve your genius for only the appropriately timed and worthy appeals.

The projector aura only functions correctly when the projector inside of that aura values their own uniqueness and awareness and expression enough to reserve the offering of that genius for only the appeals, the petitions that are correctly timed and valued. The projector aura feels and sees deeply into whatever it's pointed, whatever it's focused on.

But its offering of awareness is too potent a serum to be offered to just anyone.

When the circumstances are ripe for projector worthy insights, the invitation will come with ease, the projector will barely have to lift a finger, and the medicine will be deeply transformative and valued. So how does this sentiment apply to all of us?

Each of us, regardless of orotype, benefits from reserving our own sacred medicine for the correctly aligned moments and situations, the ones that arise within and around us, through ease and self respect. And we can do that which is in some ways synonymous with protecting your own vehicle's sacred directive right by honoring our strategy and authority.

For the generator, the functional Auric promise and necessity for generators, that can be a lesson to the rest of us is generously offering, expressing and sharing your life force, but only in the ways that feel good as fuck. Generators make the world go round. They are the blood of the human collective body.

Their open and enveloping auras are designed to carry them and their expansive life force wherever they go, as long as it's bringing satisfaction. The regenerative property of the sacral is lost when the energy is exploited or forced.

So this is just the the nature, the organic way for the generator. And each of us has a role in our fractals and collectively that makes life force flow.

Generators are the actual blood, the actual life force, regenerative life force, the custodians of that life force. But all the other non sacral types have a role to play in how life force is expended and moved through and circulated through the planet as well.

So each of us has a role.

However, when we when we ignore our own body's prerogative and in sacrifice to a conditioned sense of obligation, the ease, joy, and clarity of aligned connection to all life is blocked. Foreign.
