Gates
I Ching: Preponderance of the Great
Totality, risk
The energy of passion and conscious struggle for your goal. These gates are associated with the need to understand or find the meaning of life. People who are always willing to take risks to find the meaning of life. Summary of the Gates in Rave Chart Structure: Center: Spleen Circuit: Knowing The Channel of Struggle (28-38) Quarter (III): Duality Deity: Minerva Physiology: Kidneys Additional notes: no This Gate is associated with the need to understand or find the meaning of life. They have the potential to know what is worth fighting for and what is not. Driven by the fear of the transience of life (fear of death), these people are ready to take any risk that allows them to feel alive. As long as they listen to their intuition and follow their strategy, there is no such thing as a real risk for them. This is the Gate of the need to find purpose or meaning in life. Without an active 38th Gate, such people usually flutter from one to another in search of the meaning of life. And with 38, perhaps a person will rest and find meaning in one thing.

The desire to be effective manifested in the application of energy to detail. The intuition to potentially apply energy to detail. Venus in detriment. The aesthetic appreciation of planning that may have no real application. An intuition for detail without the potential for application. Line 2 Shaking hands with the devil. Distasteful alliance.

The intuitive capacity of the game player to provoke struggle amongst others. Sun in detriment. The breaking of alliances with trusted forces to align with more powerful forces and its attendant destabilization of the whole. The intuitive recognition in times of struggle to know when alliances must be broken and its destabilizing effect on others. Line 6 Blaze of glory.

Perseverance, struggle
The energy of struggle, which is necessary for sustainable survival and is perceived as the meaning of life. People who are at their best when fate turns against them. Summary of the Gates in Rave Chart Structure: Center: Root Circuit: Knowing The Channel of Struggle (28-38) Quarter (IV): Mutation Deity: Vishnu Physiology: Adrenal glands (adrenaline glands) Additional notes: no Such people love to "fight" and are always ready to defend their independence. They are under pressure to fight what fate brings in order to gain a sense of value and purpose in life. They need to feel carefree and can get very depressed if they don't do something that makes them feel like their life has real value. Since the 38th is the Gate of Deafness, such people can be very stubborn - by Design they are not supposed to be strongly influenced by others. Such deafness is a kind of protection from external pressures and influences that can damage their sense of purpose in life. Without the 28th Gate, these people need to be careful not to waste their energy and health on an unloved business or a useless struggle with things and people that are incorrect for them. The 28th Gate brings awareness of what is worth fighting for. Lines — six stages of development of this energy and possible extremes in its manifestation: Line 1 Qualification. Tempering opposition based on the circumstances. Neptune exalted. A psychic attunement that guarantees proper action. The psychic gift of knowing when and how to fight. Mars exalted. The tendency to oppose as a general rule. The drive to fight as a general rule. Line 2 Politeness. Opposition that does not transgress normal codes of behaviour. Pluto exalted. The value of discretion. The energy for the intuitive awareness for discretion. The Moon in detriment. An over-politeness that is both servile and obviously superficial and defeats its very purpose. The energy for over-politeness in times of struggle. Line 3 Alliance. Sun exalted. The ability to sustain through integration with similar forces, thus ensuring the vitality to persevere. The energy to integrate with others in times of struggle. The Earth in detriment. Selfish alliance which saps the energy of one's partners, in order to ensure personal vitality. The energy to selfishly use others in times of struggle. Line 4 Investigation. Analysis which strengthens opposition. Pluto exalted. The detective who develops or the insider who accepts a joint opposition whose success can only be based on trust. The energy to recognize who can be of value in times of struggle. Mars in detriment. The aggressiveness in opposition that prejudices investigation and limits trustworthiness. The power of adrenalin to provoke aggressiveness. Line 5 Alienation. A stage in opposition when one is totally isolated. Saturn exalted. The ambition and concentration to endure. The energy to stubbornly fight alone. Pluto in detriment. Alienation experienced as painful confinement that by its very nature blinds one to the possibility that there are those at some point who may come to one's aid. The energy for stubbornness is so strong that it is difficult to recognize, that there are others that can help in times of struggle. Line 6 Misunderstanding. Opposition without basis. Saturn exalted. Eventual crystallization which clears up misunderstandings. Energy which attracts misunderstanding, and the stubbornness to face opposition. The Earth in detriment. The recognition that misunderstanding is at the root of opposition but the insistence, that it is the misunderstanding of the opposing forces. Where misunderstand- ing is at the root of struggle, the energy of stubbornness to insist and maintain one's position. 28 — 38 The Channel of Struggle A Design of Perseverance in the Face of Challenges Root Center It is the center of adrenaline pressure and a powerful Motor that motivates us to be physically active.
