How Generator and Manifesting Generator frustration affects the collective energy field

August 10, 2021 Rachel Lieberman

At various points in my life, I have worked at jobs that I did not enjoy, or where I did not feel valued, or where I wanted to be doing something else. Another word for this would be - frustration. My energy was not feeling fulfilled by that particular outlet.

Before I found Human Design, I thought that by showing up every day, doing my work, and doing it well, I was still an asset to the organization. I couldn’t understand when I was passed over for promotions, excluded from the inner circle, or in at least one instance, let go.

I thought I was hiding it so well! I was so good at what I was doing and outperformed almost everyone naturally. How could they not feel that I was as valuable as I did? Couldn’t they see that if they gave me more responsibility, different tasks, or more support, I would get out of my frustration and become an ideal employee?

I can now see that this thinking was pretty delusional. Why? Because when a Sacral Being is not energized, they pollute the energy field, bring the collective life force down, and, as I said to a friend the other day, “poison the nest.”

SO, WHAT IS HAPPENING?

As Generators and Manifesting Generators, we literally generate life force from the Sacral motors in our bellies. This creates the collective energy field that we all live in. 70% of our human population are Sacral Beings! That’s a lot of life force energy.

I think of life force as the basis for the energy field we live in. In terms of our energy for doing things, it’s the water we are swimming in, the web of movement, creativity, and desire that connects us all together. It doesn’t matter if you have a defined Sacral or not - everyone is living in the creative environment generated by the Sacrals of the world, because they are ready to go every day, full of energy looking for an outlet that feels satisfying.

If you’ve ever been around a Generator or MG who was frustrated, down, or not enjoying what they were doing, you probably felt it.

WAIT, IS THIS SACRAL FRUSTRATION, OR EMOTION?

I’ve also been pondering the difference between the frustration that comes from the Sacral and the emotion generated by triggers and emotional waves. They are related! But how are they different? Both are potent and both can be felt by others (especially undefined Solar plexes and Sacrals) but emotion is about awareness and Sacral energy is about doing. When we feel emotional energy, it sends us a message. When we feel Sacral energy, it motivates us to move (or not).

Emotional energy can bring us up and down, it can help us connect and it can cause us to react. It is also a field that we inhabit and can have an effect on the room. However, Sacral energy operates on a more primal level, animating us with juicy life force and making us feel inspired and energized or pulling us down and stopping us in our tracks.

WHY DO GENERATORS AND MG’S THINK WE CAN HIDE?

I remember being in a very negative place in my last job and being gently confronted by my Projector boss, who clearly picked up on my frustrated energy field. I was taken aback because in my mind I was acting completely normal and was still “performing well.” She wanted to know - was I happy? Did I still want to do this? What did I need to change? I denied all of my frustration and assured her everything was okay because I didn’t really know what I wanted. She made it clear that she did not believe me, but left it alone.

Looking back, why did I always feel that I could hide? Honestly, I think it’s because we aren’t as sensitive to our own frustration as others (particularly Projectors, Reflectors, and Manifestors) are. It’s the classic thing of the fact that as humans, we cannot easily smell our own shit 😂. It’s not our fault, it’s just the mechanics of how we are.

Our actions don’t actually belie the energy behind our actions, which is an important lesson for us as Generators and Manifesting Generators. Because we are here to be energized and inspired by what we’re doing, it’s particularly clear to others when we are not acting from that place.

Additionally, our frustration is felt in the collective energy field and has a profound impact on those around us.

HOW DO WE HELP OURSELVES THROUGH THIS?

The most important thing is to not judge yourself. Frustration is part of how we are wired. We are not supposed to eliminate this from our lives, we are supposed to use it as an important indicator that we need to make a change.

Taking some time to reflect, connect with others who can help us see what might be causing our frustration, and allow ourselves some space from the issue is very helpful, even if it’s just a few minutes or an hour.

If you want to hear how I worked with this in my own life recently, check out this blog entry.

HOW CAN OTHERS HELP US THROUGH THIS? IF YOU’RE NOT A SACRAL BEING, HOW CAN YOU HELP?

If you’re noticing that a Generator or MG is frustrated, it can be good to:

let them know that you can see they are frustrated
let them know that they have options and list those off
create a gentle space to allow them to consider their options
talk about what might have led to the frustration
help them see what they are excited about doing and how this will benefit everyone

LET’S CREATE AN UPLIFTING ENERGY FIELD

Since we all share a collective energy field, we’re all in this together! I dream of a world where the majority of Sacral Beings are dedicating their time and energy to things that they love and the Manifestors, Reflectors, and Projectors know how to help us redirect when our frustration starts to bring down the room. We all deserve to feel uplifted!
