Manifestation

Human Design + Astrology 10-04-2022

This week I’m addressing a misconception within Human Design, manifestation. Manifestation gets a lot of play these days. And yeah, of course. It’s a rad concept. And also an incredibly privileged one. The idea is that through manifestation we can create the future we want. Sure. But this idea of manifestation is not the same as what manifestation means in Human Design. 

When it comes to being a Manifesting Generator or a Manifestor in Human Design, this doesn’t mean that only you experience the idea of being able to manifest and all the other design types do not. Manifestation in Human Design speaks to the way opportunities come about and how you engage with these opportunities. We are open to recognizing the right possibilities for us when we live as much as we can in alignment. And this can be in very small ways. It is not so much a mindset or practice, or a making of lists or vision boards. This recognition is based not only on energy type, strategy, and authority, but connects to other parts of your chart like defined centers, gates and channels. It goes deep.

For me, this perspective differs from the misguided pop culture assumption that if you aren't manifesting the life you want, you are not trying hard enough. Not deconditioning enough. Not improving enough. 

Supportive tools should be supportive, not an achievement. 

This struggle perspective of manifestation is a pretty privileged one. And so is living in alignment actually. It's pretty hard to live in alignment and make decisions through trust and boundaries when you are struggling to just survive in a system that doesn't support the majority of the people it claims to serve. Poverty is manmade and wow are we overachievers in that respect. 

For both Manifestors and Manifesting Generators the strategy is to respond. This means that yes, opportunities are always arriving to both types. But actually, it’s all a lot more nuanced than that. Also and more importantly this means that ALL energy types are able to manifest, or recognize opportunities. In terms of Human Design the most significant factor to manifestation is to live in alignment with your design, even just a little bit. Whatever your energy type, you can manifest, it will just come about differently for each of us depending upon your type and what your chart reveals.
