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 4/1: Opportunist / Investigator

The conscious line 4 — Opportunist: lives through a network of relationships. Opportunities come from friends and acquaintances, so a stable circle of people is their main resource. The unconscious line 1 — Investigator: needs a solid foundation: studies a subject in depth until feeling secure. Not knowing brings anxiety; knowing gives support.

How the two fit together

For the fourth line every acquaintance is a potential opportunity. But a Generator shouldn't grab everything friends offer: each option is worth running through the response. It works well when someone close goes through the options with questions: "Want this one?" — "Un-un." — "This one?" — "Uh-huh."

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.
