This Gate is part of the Channel of Openness, The Design of the Social Being, linking the Throat Center (Gate 12) to the Solar Plexus Center (Gate 22). Gate 22 is part of the Individual (Knowing) Circuit with the keynote of empowerment.
Gate 22 combines the potential for emotional openness through listening, with a social grace and charm that is highly attractive to others, when it is in the right mood. When our mood changes, however, a dramatically different and sometimes antisocial side of us may emerge. Our emotional awareness matures over time as we become comfortable with moving into our depth along the emotional wave. By allowing our depth to mellow with age in the company of our creative muse, we refine our timing and release our truth precisely when society is ready for it. Recognizing and acting on that timing is dependent on honoring our mood. Our openness, and our attentiveness to what is essential and new for others, are gifts of grace which even impact strangers.
Those who carry this gate listen to others until they complete what they are saying, making what they have to say naturally come second. This is grace in action, as well as the key to our own empowerment. In fact, it is our responsibility and privilege to use our social listening skills in a way that makes change available to others. Without the 12th gate, we may know what we feel, but not how to express it verbally. Because silence makes us nervous, what we fear most is that there is nothing worthwhile to listen to.
Exaltation: The ability to accept and enjoy a subordinate position. The emotinal awareness to enjoy a subordinate position.
Detriment: The inevitable humiliation that comes with claiming a first class seat with a second class ticket. Where the emotional energy challenges the awareness and can result in humiliation socially.
The Daily View reflects the impact the Sun (70% of the neutrino influence) is having on humanity as it moves through the Gates and Lines of the Mandala. Transits are potentials that you can witness in others and the world around you, and, if correct for you, as you follow your individual Strategy and Authority, may become a part of your experience as well.
