Generator: energy that switches on in response

The Generator has a defined Sacral center — a large supply of energy for work and creativity. It has no start button: the energy comes when something in the world gets a living response. The sacral response is a bodily "yes" or "no", often a sound: "uh-huh" or "un-un". The mind can't control it, so it is more honest than any argument.

A Generator wants to finish what it starts, so a wrong start costs it dearly. Work and relationships without a real "yes" slowly wear it out and lead to frustration, while the right ones bring satisfaction at the end of the day.

Profile 1/3: Investigator / Martyr

The conscious line 1 — Investigator: needs a solid foundation: studies a subject in depth until feeling secure. Not knowing brings anxiety; knowing gives support. The unconscious line 3 — Martyr: learns through trial and error. Bumping into things isn't failure — it's how they find out what works and what doesn't.

How the two fit together

A 1/3 tests ideas, values and people, and much of it fails the test — that is how it finds out what is truly reliable. Life gets more interesting after forty, when the world is seen whole. In relationships the third line is unconscious here: the mind wants constancy while the body runs from it, so such people suit relationships with space and novelty, meetings and short partings.

The first line wants to study a subject down to its foundation first. A Generator, though, needs things to start with the body's response. So research becomes truly its own once the body has said "yes" to the subject itself — then there is energy to dig all the way down.

The third line wants to try new things, but a Generator who rushes into experiments on its own doesn't get access to its energy and may not cope. It is different when an attempt starts with a response: then there is enough strength for mistakes and for finishing the job. It helps when someone asks: "Do you really want to try it? Will you see it through?"
