Removing conditioned blocks and
resolving ‘not self’ behavior using
Human Design, WaveMaker and Core
Dynamics
Types
Each type develops unconscious behaviors that
begin as a child and continue through life. We
call these ‘not self’ behaviors.
We must always look at Type first to understand
the underlying not self theme that is at work.
The first step in the deconditioning process is to
make the client aware of the not self behavior
and the insidious grip that it has on their life.
We will review each Type and the typical not self
behavior.
The Not Self Manifestor
The Manifestor needs assistance in undoing this conditioning by beginning
to resolve the fear of being controlled and also by realizing that they are
here to initiate and manifest what they want in life and that resistance is
just part of the process. By informing they can remove as much resistance
as possible and put others at ease without being passive.
Note: Often Manifestors are surprised to learn that they are in fact
Manifestors and because of the life long suppression, it can take them a
long time to get in touch with their power.
You can empower Manifestors by telling them that they are here to
“impact” others. This is a very powerful statement to make to a Manifestor.
Deep inside their dream is to have an impact on as many people as possible
in their life.
When they make a decision it is imperative that they make a list of all the
people that their decision will impact and then inform those people. This
simple technique will enlist support from people rather than resistance. If
they make a decision and take action before informing those key people
then these people will feel ignored and run over.
If the Manifestor has a defined Solar Plexus then most likely they will need
to be debugged for being impulsive. This is a HUGE problem for emotionally
defined Manifestors and gets them into trouble in their lives over and over
again. Learning to wait out the wave before making a decision is likely the
only way a Manifestor will become a success in this life.

The Not-Self Pure Generator
In their vain attempt to manifest or initiate without waiting to respond to
what life will naturally bring them they generate immense frustration at the
resistance they meet and often simply give up. Having not waited to begin
something according to their strategy they rarely stick at anything long
enough to achieve the mastery that is their potential as a natural builder.
Most end up being enslaved doing work that is unfulfilling.
Our world has been conditioned by Manifestors and so all other types are
trying to behave as Manifestors by initiation and going after what they think
they want.
A Generator’s design is very different than a Manifestors in that they do not
have a connection in their circuitry connecting one of the four motors to the
throat. The throat center is the center of manifestation and the ‘gear shift’.
It’s metamorphic.
If a Generator enters into something correctly then they move through
stages of perfecting or development. They need to know that it’s when they
get stuck in a certain place that metamorphous is about to happen and to
not jump ship because of frustration but to wait for the metamorphous.
When a Generator initiates the energy gets stuck and can’t move forward.
When a Generator initiates they are giving over their ‘authority’ to the mind.
The mind thinks it knows what it wants but the mind has no connection to
the sacral which is where the truth resides.
The Not-Self Pure Generator
In order for a Generator to know what is truly correct for them the sacral
must be asked or initiated so that it can respond. It is in the sacral
response where the truth lies.
A Generator must begin the process of giving up ‘mental concepts’ of what
they think their life is supposed to look like and begin to surrender to the
correctness of their response. They must let go of attachment and
expectation.
The good news for a Generator is that they can in fact begin to experiment
with their sacral response immediately.
Many Generators may have a difficult time getting reconnected to their
sacral response because of the years of suppressing it or denying it. In
some cases it was conditioned out of them since early childhood and
therefore they never developed a relationship with their sacral response. All
blocks to entering into the experiment of listening to their sacral response
must be removed. These might include:
– The fear of losing control of their life.
– The fear of the unknown.
– The fear that nothing will happen in their life and their survival will be in jeopardy.
– The fear that I have to do or initiate for anything to come to me or happen in my life.
– The fear that no one will ask them.
– The fear of letting go.

The Not Self Manifesting Generator
Such a being will always try to initiate and manifest, and when
he/she meets resistance they will smash through it again and again
leading to a damaged body and eventual ill-health. They suffer from
both impatience and aggressiveness, and they have both anger and
frustration in their life through their inability to wait and respond to
their sacral sounds.
Their purpose in life is to find work that they love with the ability to
demonstrate their gift for efficiency (knowing which steps are
unnecessary).
Manifesting Generators do not want to hear that they need to wait
to respond in order for life to work for them. This is the last thing
they want to hear.
Manifesting Generators typically aggressively ‘go after’ life and do a
tremendous amount of initiating. The are like race horses with
blinders on and absolutely focused on the end result.
It is very difficult and very challenging for a Manifesting Generator
to slow down long enough to wait and listen to their sacral
response.
The Not Self Manifesting Generator
There is a tremendous amount of suppressed anger in the MG which
has developed over a life time of dealing with the resistance they
create.
Things just never move fast enough for a MG.
They need to learn the value in waiting to respond and developing
patience.
The key difference between a Pure Generator and a Manifesting
Generator is that the MG does have a circuit connection between a
motor and the throat and because of this they do not go through
stages of frustration and perfection. Rather they get frustrated and
angry when things don’t happen their way or fast enough.
The goal with a MG is to get them to accept that waiting and
responding is best for them and then to learn patience. And to
debug any underlying cause as to what is keeping them from being
patient. Often impatience is just a habit.
They can be debugged for all the same things as a Pure Generator.

The Not Self Projector
As with all types that are not Manifestors, Projectors also
try to manifest or initiate, and upon meeting resistance
become bitter and resentful as they end up having to
compromise. As a non-energy type – having no
consistent access to energy – no motor to throat and no
sacral definition - they often find themselves exhausted.
They are always trying to be seen by people who simply
do not recognize their ability to guide.
Projectors are here to guide others.
The not self behavior is to try and get seen or
recognized.
They have to learn to let go and allow the recognition to
come to them. It does not work for them to pursue it.
When they try to get recognized they meet nothing but
resistance.
They have felt ‘not seen’ in their lives and have become
bitter because of this.
The Not Self Projector
They are very sensitive to the other and are mostly focused on the other and this is
fine except when they interfere without being invited.
They are here to understand the other so it is normal for them to be focused on the
other. Through understanding the other, they understand themselves.
But if their motivation for taking care of the other is so that they will get attention or
get recognized then they will simply become bitter.
Another area for the Projector to resolve is ‘compromise’ – they tend to have an
attitude that they will not get the life they really want so they compromise in their
relationships and jobs by “settling”. Settling is a HUGE problem for the Projector.
They need to be debugged for:
– Trusting that they will get recognized and invited when the time is right.
– To stop looking outside for validation and recognition.
– To stop trying to attract attention.
– To stop initiating the conversation.
– To not offer suggestions or opinions unless invited.
– To trust that the right relationship, job, life will be offered to them at the correct time.
– To know and trust that they do not have to settle or compromise.

The Not Self Reflector
These types can become the most lost of all, left feeling disappointed with others and
woefully dejected by the resistance they meet in trying to initiate or manifest.
Instead of being the hub of a community they often end up feeling left out. They
have to endure constant identification with other people’s emotions/stress/anxiety.
Their potential is to reflect everything around them with perfect equanimity.
Reflectors are not more vulnerable than the other designs even with all 9 centers
open. They are, in fact, the most resilient.
The undefined centers are not a handicap if they are operating correctly. In fact the
open centers can be the deepest windows of wisdom.
If the Reflector knows their design clearly then they are absolutely protected from
identifying with anything at all.
Because their chemistry magnifies everything and everyone, they have the potential
to see everything that is really happening in a way that no one else can.
They filter the general consciousness field.
The role of the Reflector is to be one with the totality. There greatest gift is to read
others.
They have the opportunity for a mystical life that most of us cannot know.
The have a special connection with the moon and in a way they represent the moon
on earth.
The Not Self Reflector
They are open and vulnerable however (but with resilience)
They must not identify with what they are mirroring because then
they will easily get lost and confused.
They must be careful not to become dependant on those around
them and be very careful about who they allow into their inner
circle.
They need to maintain their wonder at life – this is what it means to
be a reflector. But they so often find the world disappointing.
They need to become comfortable and unattached with each
moment of reflection.
They do need to be in the heart of the community so that they can
learn from all those who are around them.
They are here to learn that there is no good or bad in the world -
just different.
The Not Self Reflector
It’s important for Reflectors to have time alone to shake off the
conditioning that they are exposed to on a daily basis.
The fears:
– Can I be myself?
– Who am I?
– Worrying about having a fixed identity
– All the worries and fear from all 9 open centers (which we will cover
next)
– The fear of being invisible.
They need to become comfortable with the lack of fixedness in their
design. They flow and change with the cycle of the moon and with
the auras of those around them.
It is key for a Reflector to reflect their truth rather than the pain of
others.
They can be very distracted with all those open centers or develop
the potential for great wisdom.

The Ultimate States of Acceptance
and Transcendence by Type
If you are a Manifestor, you may be beginning to remember the
fire that burns deep within you – the fire that you have probably
allowed so many people to dampen.
If you are a Generator or a Manifesting Generator, you may
feel completely liberated to learn what you have always suspected
about yourself – that you are not designed to be a ‘go-getter’, and
as you relax. Things happen more smoothly.
If you are a Projector, you may feel a sense of relief that you do
not have to ‘do’ anything in order to get the recognition that you
know you deserve – that you have only to wait and your invitation
will come.
If you are a Reflector, you may have finally understood why you
feel so different from everyone around you and you may well be
excited to learn more about your extraordinary Design.
Life Codes and Attitudes
Below are the five Life Codes and the five Attitudes matched to each of the
five Human Design Types:
Type Life Code Attitude
Manifestor Proactive Courtesy
Manifesting Generator Responsive Patience
Generator Responsive Resilience
Projector Interactive Faith
Reflector Digestive Trust
If our attitude is correct, we create positive chemistry, and if not, we
create negative chemistry. Each of the five Types therefore has a
positive and negative theme associated with them.
The open centers are not you! They are simply how you experience the other and the
environment.
Not-self strategies get developed as a protection mechanism. A protection against the
openness and the mental interpretation of the (painful) experience.

judgments of others and come to peace with the fear of authority.
Let go of judging yourself and others. Challenging authority.
SPLEEN
Net result is wrong people in their lives. They are dependant on the other
to the point of being totally blind as to the negative impact of the other on
their life.
Summary of the Spleen Center:
The Spleen center is our oldest awareness center, our body consciousness.
It’s frequency is in the now and its fears are about survival.
The main themes of the Spleen center are: health, feel-good, survival, fear
Biologically, it relates to the lymphatic system, the spleen and the spleen
cells.
The function of the Spleen center is to keep us healthy and alive.
A defined Spleen has to honor their gut feeling to stay healthy.
An undefined Spleen has to pay attention to its health. It can never be
spontaneous.
The Golden Rule of the undefined Spleen is: Spontaneity can kill you.
The spleen is intelligent. It has had millions of years of development.
Instinct, intuition and judgment.
