This idea of letting go and allowing our life to take us where it may can be scary at first. Most of us grow up without a strong realization of who we really are. Our energy fields are influenced by others around us, and we don’t always know what is our personal truth versus what we’ve been told to believe is Truth. We often lose touch with our authentic self. We worry that if we let our inner authority take control, maybe we are somehow doomed to be broke or lonely.
The Generator’s Chart Generators have tremendous sustainable energy, and they are the only type designed to work. But they must find the right work and the right life force opportunities in order to feel happy. When Generators are doing the correct work, they turn on their Sacral motors and have a powerful source of energy available to them. Generators will feel frustrated if they do not find the right work and the right expression of their life force energy. Frustration, however, is a natural part of the Generator process, and Generators must understand the energy of frustration in order to attract new things to respond to. Basically, the Generator is designed to lead a happy, fulfilling life when they let life show up for them, as opposed to going out and making life happen. Generators, and all types who must wait, do well to set an intention and then wait for evidence in their outer reality that it is time to take action and that the direction is correct.
The fear of the Generator, the “doer,” is that if they just sit and wait, nothing will happen. But the geometry of the Generator is that when they stop and wait, something shows up very quickly. Generators are always dancing with and responding to life.
The Generator’s Strategies: Wait to Respond and Know Thyself There are two strategies Generators can use to address/equalize their weaknesses. They are: wait to respond and know thyself.
The Generator will feel pressured to initiate and follow through, but in reality their strength is on the follow-through only, not the initiation. Initiating is for Manifestors. Most Generators find that life can feel very frustrating when they try to act as if they can initiate.
They are told to “just do it” or “make it happen.”
The Generators are the ones “doing” all the work (or at least they should be). When Generators learn to respond instead of initiating, then they liberate themselves to do the work they love and free their energy in ways that most Generators can not even imagine. Waiting can feel most unnatural. But the Generator who waits and then responds to the right work will free themselves to do the work they love for a lifetime, or until something even better for them to respond to shows up.
Generators are the only type who can find clarity simply by responding to yes or no questions. If you are a Generator, ask someone you trust to sit down with you and ask you a series of yes or no questions about a situation you may be wrestling with.
You see, Generators are designed to be
masters. When the Generator has plateaued and feels frustrated, it means they are getting clear about what they want, and an opportunity to go to the next level will show up soon. At that point, all the Generator will have to do is respond. The key for the Generator is to not quit when they feel frustrated. Listen to the Sacral. It is uniquely designed to place the Generator in the right place at the right time. Sometimes it will not respond to quitting, even when the Generator is feeling very frustrated.
