A design of a Manifestor is here to have Impact.
Living like a Manifestor
Type, Strategy and Authority are the top 3 priorities for working with the Human Design system. Manifestor is a Type with it’s own Strategy, there will be different Authorities though – Splenic, Ego, or Emotional.
It’s a pretty big deal to be a Manifestor on Earth, as there are only 9% statistically speaking.
- Whilst the Manifestor is the ignition and impact-starter, the person who generally gets the ball rolling and has a direct, non-verbal, connection with the Universe
- The other types work as the builders (Generator-types) the guides (Projector-type) and the calibrators (Reflector types).
Manifestors are truly here to live unapologetically as themselves! However, gosh, did this society try to fit them into a box!
A Manifestor is here to have impact, ignite, and to be the “spark”. They may connect to times in the past where they simply felt “called”, or “moved” to do something… and they couldn’t even really put it into words?
It’s been called a “Manifestors Spark”, and it doesn’t always work through words!
It is “non-verbal”, it’s a feeling, or, its more than that. I don’t exactly know, my design type is a Projector! However, when Manifestors know something, they just know it, and no matter how much the people around them like it or don’t like it, Manifestors will find a way, somehow, to experience their freedom.
The universe moves Through Them.
Sometimes, the universe really MOVES.
Especially if we haven’t been listening to our inner intuition, it might feel like life is “throwing us around”. But truly, the subtlety of the Manifestors impact is sometimes LARGE… and sometimes barely perceptible.. but it is there.
There are certain people in your life whom are surely never the same again after meeting you!
Manifestor Themes: Anger & Peace
Anger & Peace… Love & War? As a Manifestor, their unique themes in life are Anger and Peace. These two feelings are like companions and guideposts. It’s not necessarily correct to live a life that they will “never feel anger and only feel peace!”. Well, I’m not going to say its impossible. But mostly, its about reducing judgement around these feelings. They are themes of life, they may simply be present throughout your journey, and it doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with the Manifestor if they have these feelings.
Human design represents a return to understanding Mechanics of the Universe, as they say: Mechanics of the Maya (the illusion).
When we feel anger, it is simply inner energy/fire/ignition/impact that didn’t get a chance to release.
- It may happen when someone tells you “No.” without discussion.
- It may happen when your freedoms to be who you were truly designed to be on Earth “feel” like they are taken from you.
- Anger isn’t always a choice! It can be a symptom that something inside, wanted to come out. Maybe, it’s a warning light, to attend to somethinig inside of us or to use our personal power to keep learning how to create safe environments for ourselves to expend that beautiful, creative energy.
As a Manifestor, their design is here to be a co-creator with the universe in a unique way.
It might even feel lonely at times.
But, the more the Manifestor and others around them align, they will notice marvelous things happening, and more and more synchronicities which remind them that no, they are not alone, actually the Universe is co-conspiring with them!
The Manifestor may have begun already, but if not – it’s definitely recommended that they BEGIN to play with their connection to the universe! It’s sooo wonderful! If you are a Manifestor or if you know a Manifestor, how can we open ourselves up to play and connecting with the unexpected, the new, the creative impulses of the universe?
Manifestor’s often enjoy literally speaking to the universe:
- “Universe can you help me with this?
- “Can you do X, I really need X right now!“
- “Can you please solve my problems for me and help guide me to allow that to happen?”
- “Where would you have me go, what would you have me do, what would you have me say, and to whom?“
- (this last one, I remembered from Gabrielle Bernstein. I never quite resonated with this sentence, but it indeed screams Manifestor talking to the universe!
See what happens!
Particularly, speaking out loud is very useful. If the Manifestor has a car, that is a great time to talk and converse with the universe, and really pay attention to what feelings they receive, or what funny synchronicities they see.
Again, it may take a little while to keep growing their connection to their intuition and their connection to the universe. It can get severed as a child. However, I kind of sense that even if there are aspects which society may have betrayed them in… there was always a part of them that stayed free, no matter the hurt. There was always a part of them that remained true to themselves, a part of them that remained that innocent inner child!
Strategy: Inform before Initating
Since the Manifestor design became an Adult, they can do whatever they want to do! 😛 (right?…….)
However, no matter how strong the message, feeling, calling or spark from the universe is to do something from their inside… sometimes, they need to appreciate and respect the world around them by the simple act of Informing!
The founder/revealer of the Human Design system was a Manifestor, Ra Uru Hu. Following this Strategy of Inform before Initiating, can bring a whole lot more peace into their life – it is said!
It is not about asking permission, it is simply helping the world around them to get ready for their impact.
Once they get a feeling that something is right, once they get a knowing, it might be quite exciting or even overwhelming. They say, it takes practice to pause and inform, but it might help a lot!
Informing helps the world get on board, it helps prepare others and clear the way. It also helps Manifestors feel any inner resistances from others before they initiate, which may prompt them to do it in new way (or just do it when those people aren’t looking! 😛 I’m joking).
The only people they generally need to inform are those whom the initiation will affect.
It can be big or even small things: like if the Manifestor is out and they see something amazing for dinner: informing means texting the household before purchsing (not asking permission) but saying: “I saw this amazing food for dinner, I’m buying it now and will be home around 7). Fast forward to 7, the Manifestors household is all ready to begin eating 🙂 peace!
It sounds simple, but something “silly” like getting dinner (and the Manifestor feeling inspired, and thinking they are doing something beneficial) can be misconstrued by the best of us!
There have been examples where someone did something similar and found an amazing dinner, but didn’t text the household. They initiated but didn’t inform those who would be impacted. Thus, when 7pm came around and the Manifestor came home with unexpected dinner, their partner was upset because they had spent the last 3 hours cooking something because they didn’t know the Manifestor bought dinner. The partner is kind of frustrated as they wished they spent that time doing something else important. In this scenario, the partner might feel frustrated, the Manifestor might not feel appreciated, and might feel anger.
Again, it’s a small scenario, but it emphasizes that informing can sometimes help other people keep up. Because, maybe it’s not even about the Manifestor, perhaps that initiation was really the Universe wanting to give their partner those 3 hours to focus on some other task, to bring even more peace and satisfaction into both the individuals lives. It’s interesting to contemplate.
Of course, there are times when its not appropriate to inform, such as if someone was in an abusive situation and they were planning to leave… or leaving a job which would not be appropriate to tell them before you knew and were doing your official notice. So, be reasonable about it.
Human Design is not designed to be “black and white”. Actually, I love the way that Karen Curry Parker puts it: “Human Design is like training wheels to get back to our inner flow, once we find our flow again, we might not even really look at the chart much, unless it feels right”
But, it does sound like it can be kind of intense sometimes. Human Design talks a lot about “societal conditioning”, and the “deconditioning journey”. This is referring to how, sometimes, society wants us to become like “over-performing, non-feeling robots”. Anything that taught us to be less of who we are, and more of who we aren’t, is called “conditioning” in Human Design.
