What Does it Mean To Be a Manifestor?

If you are a Human Design Manifestor, you’re here to receive big downloads of inspiration and share them with the world.

You’re content to fly solo most of the time and you hate being interrupted, especially when you’re frenetically creating.

People think you’re stubborn, lazy or aloof (especially when you were a kid!) but you don’t mean to be. You’re just super in-your-head all the time, what with all the big ideas streaming in.

Your most wished-for sensation is to have peace. You just want to be left in peace to be able to freely create without feeling judgment, fear, paranoia or vulnerability.

Manifestors are extremely prone to people-pleasing. We are especially vulnerable to being conditioned out of sharing our fantastical, whimsical, deliciously energizing ideas.

That’s because some of our ideas were too wild, too progressive, too “out there” for the people in our lives to accept, especially when we were growing up.

Moreover, Manifestors carry the energetic imprint of ancient royalty. We were the kings and queens of the earliest civilizations. They called the shots. They told the masses what to do. They sat back eating grapes while they watched the laborers build their ideas into reality.

We still carry that energy! Even though we’re just your average Joes and Janes, we haven’t shed the imprint of being in charge.

Which is why we hate being told what to do, and we feel let down when we don’t get to be the ones in charge.

And so, for a lot of us, anytime we shared our big ideas or dared to lead, our parents, teachers and friends probably furrowed a brow at us. Or said, “There is absolutely no way we are going to build a rollercoaster in the backyard, and you better stop acting like you’re in charge around here!”

All along we might’ve been feeling out of place, unaccepted, or like we don’t belong. That ‘square peg in a round hole’ thing our college professors said to us.

So, oftentimes, when we’re adults who’ve lived our whole lives trying to fit in, trying to accommodate society, trying to ‘be normal,’ and then we learn we’re actually royally-energized Manifestors, we can go through an identity crisis.

We may reawaken to childhood dreams, urges and desires, lamenting all the creative ideas we’ve had which never got to seethe light of day.

This can be really hard to grapple with. So if you’re just finding out you’re a Manifestor and you think you could use some support making sense of all your creative energy and power, please reach out for support!

I’ve been where you are, and it was dark and lonely and upsetting,for a few months. Having a Manifestor mentor in my corner during that time would’ve been a huge help, but I had to figure out how to get to a place of calm, peaceful satisfaction on my own, which is why I’m here to help you now.

Manifestors need space to simply ‘be,’ which is why you have a big, dense and repelling aura. But don’t freak out. That sounds terrible, but that aura is there to keep you safe.

Our aura acts as a protective energetic shield surrounding us. It’s there to keep others — who may try to dissuade us from initiating them into something new — won’t knock us off our path.

To let folks into your orbit, imagine you’re a V.I.P. club surrounded by one of those red velvet ropes. Send one of your big, imposing bouncers out to the crowd waiting to get in, so he can raise your red velvet rope to give a few very important people access to your sphere.

Make sure that person is trustworthy and supportive and will love or like you no matter what crazy idea you come up with next. We Manifestors try too hard sometimes worrying about whether people will like us. Stop that. They’ll love us or hate us, and that has to be okay. The ones who love you will be loyal and dear your whole life.

You may get tired easily, especially after birthing a new idea. Your energy for creating can seem frenetic; manic, even, when you’re in the midst of a big juicy urge.

But afterwards? You’ feel depleted. So take naps, or lie-downs.

Remember: it takes a lot of battery power to get others on board with cool stuff no one’s ever tried before. It requires an immense amount of enthusiasm, passion, and inner belief in yourself and your ideas to pull a stagnant, numbed society along toward accepting one of your fresh, rejuvenating, brilliant creations.

So, pro tip, before you go fully building that new spaceship, or online course, or youth athletic program, try this:

INFORM YOUR AUDIENCE!

Informing is the Manifestor’s key to ease and flow. I get it — you hate being on the hook to explain yourself to anyone. That’s not what informing is all about.

Informing is simply removing the friction that could, and probably will, arise in the future if you birth something without mentioning what you’re up to.

The thing is, we Manifestors are so in-our-heads that people can already tell when our wheels start turning with a new idea. They just have no idea when it’s gonna land, or how big of a splash this one’s gonna make when it does.

So, to ease any potential tension and remove any possibility of upending your household or workplace, just tell the people what you’re thinking about.

Who knows? Maybe some Generator out there will help you actually build it, so you don’t have to knock yourself out making it all by yourself!
