When you’re looking at the nature of the Sacral, what I really want you to see are two things. The most important thing is the magnetic power of the Sacral aura.

When I teach advanced courses in sexuality, I talk about the Sacral in terms of the theme of availability. The Sacral has nine themes of availability. That can be availability in the sexual sense, but it’s also about the availability to the other.

Remember, everything about being Sacral, because you’re here to respond, is ultimately about the other. And it doesn’t have to be personalized. It’s whatever that’s on the outside that you’re going to be able to respond to.

Think about the power of the Sacral. I have absolutely no activations in the Sacral, I have a totally open Sacral. Every Sacral being in my life does this to me; I can’t escape it. And Sacral beings don’t understand that. If they really understood the attractive power of that Sacral Center, they would never manifest. It’s a waste. You’re pulling everything to you, which means you’re pulling the opportunity of response to you. It’s always being pulled to you.

But it’s being pulled to you very specifically. It’s being pulled to your themes. It’s being pulled to your theme of what you’re going to respond to. That’s where you’re available, that’s where you’re designed to respond. And that is the condition upon which you’re going to live your life.

The Sacral World of Frustration

I love Generators. I understand the magic that is there in them, it’s just an obvious thing. But the reality is that their minds are the great garbage cans of the world. Because you have to understand something about the Sacral. The Sacral says, “I’m available over here, this is where I’m designed to respond.”

And the mind says, “No, I want to be over here. I don’t want to respond to that. I don’t want everything that I say ‘yes’ to, to be about this and this direction” because mind is in there saying, “I could do this, this and this.” When they’re going through all that, they end up being, what all Sacral beings end up being, is deeply, deeply frustrated, and ready to quit. Quit their relationships, their jobs, their city, their life. “I’ve had enough, I’m exhausted.”

I live in the Sacral world of frustration and I don’t like it. I amplify it. When a not-self Generator steps into my aura, it is not pleasant. It smells of frustration, of suffering. I know that pain. I live it out as an amplification.

Before I had this knowledge it was a torment for me because that’s not me. I don’t suffer. I’m not frustrated. And that’s what’s out there. And all of that comes back to the mind, and the mind gets in the way and says, “Yes, yes, yes, but I want this, I need to do that, I have to do this, I have to do that. It’s all very nice, it’s all going to come to me, but I don’t believe in it. In the meantime I have to go make a living.”

Surrender to the Experiment

Until you get to the point where you surrender to the experiment, you’re only going to begin to discover what is really there for you. The Sacral, more than any other force, specifically gives it to you. It’s laid out for you. All you have to do is surrender to it.
