Manifestor Characteristics
Manifestors are powerful initiators with a closed, repelling aura that naturally creates impact. Unlike other types, you don't need to wait for external cues to take action. You're here to initiate, catalyze change, and make things happen. However, your power can be intimidating to others, which is why informing is crucial.
Strategy: To Inform
Your strategy is to inform those who will be impacted by your actions BEFORE you act. This isn't asking permission - it's giving a heads up. Informing creates peace in your relationships and allows your manifestations to flow smoothly.
How to Apply
- •Inform people who will be affected by your actions before you act
- •Share what you're going to do, not ask if you can do it
- •Keep people in the loop about your plans and movements
- •Notice how informing reduces resistance and anger
- •Practice informing even when it feels unnecessary
- •Use informing to maintain your freedom and autonomy
Common Mistakes
- ⚠Acting without informing and creating resistance
- ⚠Asking permission instead of informing
- ⚠Over-explaining or justifying your actions
- ⚠Waiting for others to give you the green light
- ⚠Feeling controlled and rebelling against informing
Manifestor Authority
Manifestors can have Emotional, Splenic, or Ego authority. Your authority is your inner decision-making compass that guides which manifestations to pursue.
Emotional Authority
Wait for emotional clarity over time. Never make decisions in the heat of emotion. Ride your wave and decide when you have perspective.
Splenic Authority
Trust your instant, in-the-moment gut instincts. Your spleen speaks once - listen to that first hit of intuition.
Ego Authority
Listen to what your heart wants and what serves your personal desires. Make commitments only when your heart is truly in it.
Not-Self Theme: Anger
When Manifestors aren't living according to their design, they experience anger. This anger arises from feeling controlled, restricted, or meeting resistance. It's a sign you're either not informing, not following your authority, or trying to force things.
Signs of Not-Self
- • Chronic anger or rage
- • Feeling controlled or restricted
- • Meeting unexpected resistance
- • People blocking your path
- • Feeling misunderstood
- • Rebelling against authority
Solution
Return to informing and follow your authority. Notice where you're not giving people a heads up or where you're pushing against resistance.
Signature: Peace
When Manifestors inform and follow their authority, they experience peace. This peace comes from moving through life without resistance, maintaining freedom while keeping others informed. You feel at peace when you can initiate freely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to inform as a Manifestor?
Informing means telling people who will be impacted by your actions what you're going to do BEFORE you do it. It's not asking permission - it's giving a heads up. For example, 'I'm going to the store' rather than asking 'Can I go to the store?' This creates peace and reduces resistance.
Why do Manifestors need to inform?
Your closed, repelling aura naturally pushes energy outward and can catch people off guard. When you inform, you prepare others for your impact, reducing resistance and allowing your manifestations to flow smoothly. It maintains your freedom while keeping others in the loop.
Can Manifestors have sustainable energy?
No, Manifestors are non-sacral beings without access to consistent life force energy. Your energy comes in bursts for manifestation, followed by necessary rest periods. Trying to maintain Generator-level productivity leads to burnout and anger.
What's the difference between informing and asking permission?
Informing is a statement: 'I'm going to...' Asking permission is a question: 'Can I...?' Manifestors don't need permission to act - you inform to keep peace and reduce resistance. You're telling, not asking.
Why do Manifestors experience anger?
Anger arises when Manifestors aren't living according to their design - usually from not informing, meeting resistance, feeling controlled, or trying to sustain energy they don't have. Anger is your indicator that something is off alignment.
