The Five Ways of Being

An Introduction to The Five Ways of Being (Type)
By Eleanor Haspel-Portner, Ph.D.

The Five Ways of Being or Five Types
Five basic distinct Ways of Being or Types describe how energy predisposes you to respond at certain times in certain ways. Dr. Eleanor Haspel-Portner, Ph.D., did research on over 45,000 people. The research showed that Five Types statistically measure different energy patterns. Each Way of Being or Type filters your perceptions and each has its own unique strategy. Yet, that is only a portion of the whole picture when it comes to understanding your Self. You have more than one Way of Being!

You have the capacity to respond in accord with all five types. If you want to learn the strategy of only one type, you’ll benefit most by learning the strategy of a Manifesting Generator, because you most likely function as a Manifesting Generator a good part of the time. However, remember that your pattern of energy is as unique as your fingerprint. Thus, it is important to learn and understand about your own unique pattern.

When Eleanor Haspel-Portner, Ph.D. looks at your Noble Sciences Sacred Synthesis™ Energy Chart, she reads how you make decisions, how you experience your unique energy flow, and where and how you are vulnerable and sensitive to other people. Because you function on multiple layers of awareness at all times the way you align your energy is important for your health. Your best strategies for aligning your unique energy can be seen in your Noble Sciences charts based on your birth information.

As a start for yourself right now, learn about the five basic energy patterns and self-reflect on what you already know about yourself. Mind Maps of the Five Ways of Being give you a quick reference tool along with descriptions in this document.

The Five Ways of Being or Five Types are:

The Manifesting Generator or Anticipatory Responding Initiator

Represented by the letters MG
As a Manifesting Generator, you use a complex strategy that involves both instinctive responses to things and active initiation of things so they manifest congruently for you. In order to achieve this goal, instinctive responses must be clear and you must then envision how your responses are likely to play out. If your considered path feels congruent, proceed. However, if upon envisioning your path, you feel doubtful and confused, you reconsider your path to maximize success.

As a Manifesting Generator you learn and grow. This process is part of your learning process challenging you to become the most you can be and to manifest your life purpose. Always attempt to balance between your Inner Self and Outer Self, your internal instinctive responses, and your cognitive transformations or modifications of responses that shape your life. Finding balance is part of the complex process of living.

Manifesting Generators integrate functioning to know and feel at ease within the Self. It’s natural to take charge or attempt to take charge of things. Personal empowerment is human potential lived fully. You are likely to be Manifesting Generators at some point in how you function. Rely upon this energy flow in making decisions to live an aligned life.

The Manifestor or Active Initiator

Represented by the letter M
The Manifestor actively initiates things to make them happen. As a Manifestor, you feel actively enlivened when you accomplish things you want to do, i.e., when you work toward your goals. For the best possible outcome, initiate or start things when you feel clear about what you are doing. Recognize that when you act precipitously or impulsively, you sometimes cause turmoil.

As a Manifestor when you do not let others in on your plans, you are likely to meet surprise and encounter resistance to what you want. In other words, you may meet some angry feelings when you act without clarity, impulsively, and without informing others.

You are likely to function as a pure Manifestor only about eight percent of the time. Thus, allow receptivity when appropriate, and make sure you take time to self-reflect and consider consequences before taking action.

The Generator or Responder

Represented by the letter G
Generator responses are instinctive, but they always involve human intelligence in assessing a situation. Be clear about your feelings so you know how you want to proceed. If you feel hesitation, wait for inner clarity.

When you feel indecision your Generator energy keeps you from taking a clear path because your feelings and instincts operate on many layers of awareness. Frustration arises when elusive feelings make your various options and choices appealing for different reasons.

If you find yourself busy, without knowing why, it may be the generator energy in you contributing to your sense that you are “spinning your wheels.” In general, indecision is most likely a result of a conflict between instinctive responses and what your mind interprets as a “should.” When you are uncertain of your decision, wait until your responses align in all parts of yourself. Empowerment often builds internally before it manifests in action. When in conflict or uncertain about your direction, confusion and frustration are natural and understandable.

Ask yourself new questions and live with more focus by deepening your ability to hear and listen to your inner voice of wisdom. Awaken to your Self so you hear your instincts and communicate with your higher mind at the same time. You are likely to function as a pure generator about a third of the time.

Projector (Self-Recognition of Inner and Outer Perceptions)

Represented by the letter P
Your Projector energy activates inner stirrings that are ready to connect what your inner voice knows when properly recognized and acknowledged. To gain clarity, Projector energy turns inward. You benefit as a Projector when another person (or situation) invites recognition of what lies beneath the surface of your awareness.

Validation from another person who recognizes your sensibilities and abilities gives you energy because it adds momentum to continue your process instead of supporting natural doubts or diminishing your process. The Projector component is more introspective than activating.

Reflector (Open Sensitivity)

Represented by the letter R
The open Reflector part of you receives information from cosmic forces and from other beings openly with few predetermined filters. You are highly sensitive to all that is around you on all levels. When most positive, you experience “being in the flow.” When negative, the Reflector part of you may feel overwhelmed by information and thus, powerless.

During sleep you generally function as a Reflector. During this phase of consciousness you move into the “cosmic soup” where all humanity merges consciousness as one being in unity. You do not remain a Reflector Type in your integrated functioning.

However, by paying attention to your areas of comfort, i.e., where, when, and with whom you feel most at ease and most aligned as you move through your day and through each Type or Way of Being, you are most likely going to be able to identify when and how these Types function in you, i.e., how you change during your day.

You never remain constant in Type over any six-month period. You reflect the breathing living organism of the cosmos of which you are a perfect reflection within your self. By knowing one, you know all. By knowing all, you know one. Know yourself. You are the universe.

About Noble Sciences
Noble Sciences mission is to verify and scientifically document the Multidimensional Human Design knowledge created, developed, and researched by Eleanor Haspel-Portner, Ph.D. Noble Sciences Sacred Synthesis™ evolved from work begun at Rave Life Sciences in 1999 by Eleanor, Marvin Portner, M.D., and Ra Uru Hu who partnered with Eleanor and Marvin with the intention of verifying the Human Design System.

Based on the statistical research completed on over 45,000 cases, Eleanor expanded the Human Design System correcting some of its erroneous hypotheses, expanding its calculations, and verifying additional layers of consciousness, and their ways of operating in developing human personality. Multidimensional Human Design, Unified Life Sciences, and Noble Sciences Sacred Synthesis™ are documented using social science research tools and are a proprietary system. Eleanor has not authorized any teachers or licensed the use of her system to date.
