31. Sacral Authority

Speaker A: 00:00:00

Your sacral response is unique in many ways, and one of those ways is in regards to how is your sacral defined.

The definition that you carry in your sacral center is unique to you and it's going to color the way that your sacral response shows up, the types of things that you tend to respond to, how your sacral response is filtering everything else in your life, your definition and the conditions that come in through your openness.

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 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 youg 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.

Sacral Authority... We've spent so much time already getting to know this center through understanding the generator design and looking at the Sacral center on its own way earlier in LYD.

So this is just a revisit and sort of a summation of the Sacral center, the Sacral energy in the non Emotional Generator, what is sometimes referred to as a Pure Generator, just to really hammer in the Sacral through this additional lens now of the Authority or the Sacral Generator or the Pure Generator. So we will once again revisit the defined Sacral.

We will talk about how this authority is an authority that does not come from an awareness, but rather from pure energy I'll share a brief introduction of some variations within sacral authority based on the channel or channels that define the sacral. And we'll have a quick word on being a non emotional generator. Specifically, 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 that provides consistent fuel and unconditional fuel which makes one available for life.

This is the body's main power source, the engine that powers up all of the life force within the body. If you have a defined sacral, this makes you a generator. This includes manifesting generators.

This gives you access to consistent life force energy that wants to be expended in ways that feel good. It gives you the experience of being sort of revved up and ready to go.

It means that your body is able to give you cues that you have the energy where it wants to to be directed and when the expenditure of energy is complete. When used in satisfying ways, the energy in the sacral center is regenerated.

And people with a defined sacral center are designed to be available to respond to life. And the sacral center fuels the response or doesn't fuel the response for what your body is not available for.

The sacral center is what is responsible for the open and enveloping aura in all generators which pulls life towards the generator for you to respond to. Generators do not have to push or force, only respond.

And so when we're talking about sacral as an authority center, so specifically for our non emotional generators or our pure generators, sacral authority generators, everything having to do with the sacral becomes the form's authority structure, authority system.

This gut response of yes or no based on what there is energy available for offers the generator correct orientation to everything in their inner and outer worlds.

This gut yes or no, this sacral response now becomes something that carries significance and importance beyond the strategy of response, which is a strategy that extends to emotional generators as well.

But for our sacral generators, our pure generators, for whom the sacral center is also the authority, there's additional importance here because that sacral yes or no carries information with it in regards to anything and everything in your life.

For sacral authority, you can find your truth in any given moment by being presented with a yes or no question and feeling, and maybe sometimes hearing how your body immediately responds from your gut.

So now we're talking about response, not just as the thing that shows you the next thing that your body is moving towards and meant to do or use energy on now, we're also talking about response as the ultimate authority of the body.

If you're in your mind and you're not sure whether you actually enjoy your work or not, when you hear that question, do you enjoy your work, is the body going mm or mm, mm? And I, I do literally mean those sacral sounds, right?

Or some kind of sacral sensation that is indicative of that feeling and sound or the retraction.

So very powerful for the pure generator to have an awareness of the gut, the visceral gut response to literally anything it's presented, it doesn't have to be only a yes or no question. You know, it could be you come into contact with another person and you notice that you have a gut reaction in one way or the other.

The sacral center is pure energy, no awareness.

So in the solar plexus authority lecture, I spent quite a bit of time kind of teasing out the difference between the energy in that center and the awareness and how they both play a part in the process of arriving to clarity. For the emotional authority being, but with the sacral, there's no awareness here.

This isn't an intelligence having to do with having any kind of awareness. This is a purely physical, energetic intelligence. That awareness has really nothing to do with. The awareness watches this intelligence.

But is not this intelligence. Your inner authority has nothing to do with awareness.

Your inner authority has to do with the faucet of energy turning on, lighting up that fire burning in your belly or not. It is intelligent, right? It doesn't lack intelligence. It's just a form of intelligence that has nothing to do with awareness.

You still have awareness, right?

Because regardless of whether you are defined in the spleen or the ajna, we know if you have sacral authority, you're not defined in the solar plexus, but you still have access to the functionalities of all three of these awareness centers, either in your own form, as a part of your consistent frequency, or through your experience of the movie of your life, through your conditioning and awareness, whether instinctual, mental or emotional, splenic, ajna or solar plexus adds color and context to your experience as a sacral being. But you are not designed to operate based on the conditions of your awareness.

Your gut, your sacral acts as an anchor and a filter for those awarenesses to always be coming back, to be filtered through. It's that gut response that is your truth in any and every given moment.

The energy for response is non negotiable when defined in the awareness centers. The sacral will fuel a response that contains those fixed awarenesses.

So in other words, if you have a defined spleen, your sacral response holds the intelligence of your defined spleen within it. Right?

Your sacral response takes the information from your spleen and communicates it to you through sacral response, because that is your anchor when undefined in the awareness centers, the sacral fuels a response that filters the conditions of those awarenesses.

So it takes what, whatever you're receiving through your undefined awareness centers, and it orients you to them in the way that is correct for you through sacral response.

All of this is a formulaic, drawn out way of saying something simple, which is while you have access to great expanding awareness, it is the sacral sensation that guides you, not your awareness. Your sacral response is unique.

So if you have a defined sacral, that means that at least one of these nine channels coming off of the sacral is defined in your body. And you could have multiple channels defined. Your sacral response is unique in many ways.

And one of those ways is in regards to how is your sacral defined.

The definition that you carry in your sacral center is unique to you and it's going to color the way that your sacral response shows up, the types of things that you tend to respond to, how your sacral response is filtering everything else in your life, your definition and the conditions that come in through your openness. Now, this is just a brief overview. You can learn more about the specific channels that define your sacral if, if and as and when.

That is of interest to you.

If you have sacral energy for it, if there's a response to dive into that a bit more, then you can google, you can buy a book on the gates and the channels. You can learn more if you have one of these channels that is the sacral connected to the root.

So these three at the very bottom of the body graph, these are called the format channels. These are very powerful channels because it's the ignition and then the engine fueling that ignition so your vehicle is both ignited and fueled.

el to carry on. When you have: 2750

Your response is directly connected to your instinctive awareness and vice versa.

viously visible, and then the: 3410

This is a manifested channel, a manifesting generator channel. So you are a manifesting generator. This is a fuel which immediately moves to initiate an impact.

and the: 3410

ribal channels, which are the: 2750

off of the sacral, that's the: 5342

The gut feeling of the sacral, as well as its cues of satisfaction and frustration ensure correct navigation through the conditioning that takes place in your openness.

Your authority is ultimately about what feels good to use your energy on and what the immediate gut feeling is in response to any situation and any yes or no question.

The sacral response or lack of response is inherently inclusive of the wisdom of all of the other parts of you present in your definition without you having to think about or dissect them.

And something to know about the sacral center as well, especially in relation to the solar plexus authority, which we spent quite a bit of time digging into leading up to this, is that part of the reason it takes time and many words to really articulate what solar plexus authority is about is because it is this always shifting, changing, complex thing. Sacral authority is not operating over time.

Sacral authority operates in the moment, and so there's not any kind of vast deep meaning behind your sacral response.

This potentially can help you surrender to the sacral response rather than caught up in the mind trying to understand it, or trying to deny it, or trying to find the rationalization in it. There is none sacral authority. It's not an awareness center. It's especially. It's not an emotional awareness center.

It's not about that depth which doesn't mean that you don't have a ton of depth available to you. What this means, what having sacral authority means, is that that depth is not your guide. That depth is filler, it's color, it's enrichment.

But your truth, your guide in any and every given moment is the gut sensation, the gut experience that you're having. And it's not necessarily something that's going to be true over time. It has nothing to do with the passing of time.

Sacral authority, the sacral is yes or no, what's correct for you right now and what isn't correct for you right now. What you get a sacral response for today may not be what you get a sacral response for tomorrow.

What lacks lighting you up sacrally today might light you up sacrally tomorrow or even later this afternoon.

So it's not that it isn't profound, it is profound in its ability to filter and align you to your correct experience, your correct timing, your correct geometry. But there's nothing to think about with it. There's nothing to simmer in with it. There's not any great meaning that needs to be placed on it.

Now, if you are sacral authority, then you are a non emotional generator, right? So let's just contextualize that a bit. Being a non emotional generator, you actually experience emotions in a heightened way, right?

So there's something kind of weird feeling about calling undefined solar plexus people non emotional because you are actually absorbing and amplifying the emotional energy around you. So some might say you're in, you're deeply emotional.

But as I've hammered in many times that you, that you're experiencing as deeply emotional when you're amplifying and absorbing emotional energy around you is a part of your trip which is not removed from you, right? Because you're experiencing those emotions from the very unique vantage point of yourself.

And that is something that is unique to you and yours, right? It is your trip, their emotions, your trip, right? Or the transits, your trip, or the electromagnetic connection within the context of your trip.

So it is, I don't want to say it's not your emotional experience, it absolutely is.

But it's not an emotional experience that is a part of your unique frequency and thus that you can anchor to as a representative of your truth, because it is not consistently you. However, you do experience emotions in a heightened way, which was the original point of this slide.

Consider the intensity of the emotional energy for the defined solar plexus person, right?

We just talked about this in the last lecture, if you're watching this in linear order, hence why the solar plexus is the first authority center in this hierarchy or this process of elimination.

And then consider the intensity of that sensation inside of an undefined solar plexus person whose energy body is absorbing and amplifying, such as yours, if you have sacral authority.

So you know, we talked about how anyone with a defined solar plexus, they might even have also a defined sacral or also a defined spleen or anything else defined in the body graph, but the cues that the defined emotional person gets from their other defined centers, it's not that they don't matter, it's not that they're meaningless, it's just that they get swept up in this always shifting and very intense and primary experience of emotionality.

Okay, so us emotional beings, we get taken by our emotional wave in such a way that we, we are consumed by that emotional process so that anything outside of it, without taking that emotional process into consideration, is irrelevant.

You also get taken into these emotional waves, whether they're happening for you by transit or, or happening for you via the conditioning field of other auras. You get swept up in these emotional waves as well.

And this makes you extremely empathic, deeply sensitive to the feelings of others, and thus can make it real, real easy for you to try, for your mind to try to deny and avoid the truth of your own sacral authority and attempts to negotiate with the emotional beings, with the emotional energy around you, and with the experience that you might be having in getting distracted from your own truth by being swept up in this emotional wave. And this is the, the work of your conditioning in your solar plexus when this happens.

So a reminder of the not self strategy, the not self voice for the undefined solar plexus is am I avoiding truth or confrontation?

It might feel selfish to honor your sacral authority when you are in this experience of feeling kind of swept up or consumed by the emotions around you. But this narrative that it is selfish comes from your not self mind and will lead you to frustration.

Honoring your sacral authority is the most selfless thing you can do because it puts you in the energy, in the places, in the times, in the relationships, in the circumstances where you're able to honor your most satisfying and aligned gift of one of a kind life force to the world.

And anything else compromises and distorts your frequency and, and the way that your frequency is conditioning the people and the environments around you.

So bottom line here is that being non emotional essentially means that this potential authority center that is the solar plexus is the most kind of overpowering sensation in the body graph. Thus it is the first in this process of elimination or hierarchy.

And when you have a design that is amplifying that energy rather than creating and putting out its own version of that energy, it's even louder. And this is something that's going to apply to every authority from this point on, right? You have the loudest, heaviest authority center.

Undefined, okay?

And so you're very susceptible to getting distracted from the truth of your own authority because there's this other potential authority that is meant to run other people's lives, is meant to be someone else's anchor. But you experience it so strongly in your own form.

It's not selfish for you to feel that, acknowledge those feelings and that sensation and that loudness without actually feeling obligated to get swept up in that wave. In fact, it's extremely selfless for you to put your own sacral truth first, because your joy and your frustration are conditioning the world.

The most selfless thing that you can do is get to know yourself. Right? Generators are here to know themself. What lights you up and move in that direction, always over and over again, a quote from a projector.

Amy Ruth, you think it's selfish to follow your passions. It's selfish to live in pain and suffering and be conditioning the rest of the planet with that potency.

You are the most powerful being on the planet. Build your heaven on earth so we can all marinate in that bliss. That's for all generators.
