Manifesting in Human Design
“What I’ve tried to show you is that conditioning is everything. So that if you fail, don’t feel bad. You failed against a great enemy, against a great force. It is a great force. It holds the planet in thrall. It really does. But to stand within yourself, to begin to discover the beauty of what it is to be you, to begin to make decisions in a way that is correct so that you can begin to align yourself to what works, to begin to see that so many things that you thought you needed to be concerned about, you didn’t have to be, to begin to liberate yourself from the pressure that you place on yourself on the mental plane instead of just living and breathing your life. In that living and breathing of your life, being able to develop a perspective so that you truly can see.”
In Human Design, it has been said by some that there are two ways of Manifesting when it comes to your Personality Nodal Variable (your bottom right arrow and the direction it faces). That some of us should make detailed lists of what we want to call in (Specific Manifesters) while others should take a more abstract view (Non-Specific Manifesters). This idea is separate from being a Manifestor energy type.
I absolutely believe that we all have the ability to co-create whether we able to initiate as a Manifestor Aura or not. That being said, I personally believe, for all of us, it’s really about focusing first and foremost on how we want to feel, and if that includes a detailed list, great, if a detailed list stresses you out or feels out of resonance, that’s fine too, cast a broader net. It’s about whatever is going to get you in felt sense coherence with your desired future. And regardless of whether we make detailed lists or not, we always need to be open to something better than we could have imagined. In doing that if often comes down to the energy, feeling, vibe you are looking for rather than getting into the specifics (though I do both).
In addition I think how we manifest by Design comes down to several other elements within our bodygraph and unique energetics. The more I’ve researched it, I see that the Specific vs Non Specific Manifester concept is a distillation of the Perspective Variable by what seems like a select few and not necessarily the true expression of the energy.
The Variable is really indicative of how we take in our surroundings, how we are meant to see. If the arrow faces left then we have a more focused view, right, a more periphery. So, could we make a more detailed list around what we want to manifest if our arrow points left, maybe, but it’s a rather broad interpretation and I personally don’t think it matters. If anything I think its limiting to think this way. I think what matters more is your intention, how you want to feel, the deeper meaning of your desires and the energy you’re broadcasting + grooves your greasing every day.
Energy
We are all existing in the quantum field co-creating our reality. And when we take steps like: getting out of our own way, standing in our power and existing in a place of gratitude, etc.. we have the ability to align with our desires. There are infinite possibilities. And they are all out there for the taking, floating around in the field waiting for you to ask + be in a position to receive and hold the container. One way we can see this reflected back is in the Strategy for Generators and Manifesting Generators. We are Responding to life, to the plethora of options that present themselves and it is our job to tune in to our bodies (not our minds) to know what is a yes for each of us.
Much of what we can do to align is in the deconditioning of the Not Self, working with our unique energetic aura, Strategy + Authority, transmuting low vibrations, leaning in to our definition (our consistent truth), as well as some other key elements in our chart which you can find in The Collective. As we come more and more into alignment with our true authenticity, we are more available energetically to align with our desires regardless of which way our arrow faces or what kind of list we create.

As this concept still seems to be gathering momentum I felt called to comment further here and in a podcast here. ✨
