Embodiment
Look at your chart and see which channels you have coming out of your Root Center.
You will only have defined channels if your Root is defined, and so are the possible connected centers (Spleen, Sacral, Emotional). If you don't have a defined Root, you won't have any channels. However, it doesn't mean that this energy is completely absent for you. Another person with the opposite gate as one of your defined gates can energetically complete the channel when you are together. We see this often in powerful partnerships.
Channel Details
Channels can be Generated, Projected, Manifested, and Mani-Generated.
They are also associated with your different circuitry: Individual, Collective, Community, or Integration.
ROOT TO SACRAL
42 – 53 – Maturation
Generated / Collective Circuitry
The Channel of Maturation — 42-53 links the Sacral through the 42, the Gate of Increase, to the 53, the Gate of Development in the Root Center. This is one of the format energies and it is an abstract, sensing format energy.
The way of experience is first to just live — to live each experience fully — go straight through the experience, and when it’s over then you can turn around and look back. Maturation can happen through any single experience; it doesn’t require repeats like the logical process.
This is a Generator channel — one of response — and here, the 53-42 when it responds, is responding from the beginning, through the experience, and to the completion. How long will that take? Anywhere from a few seconds to several years! It depends on the experience.
Consequently, it’s important for people with the 53-42 to be very clear in their responses or they can find themselves caught in extended projects that they might lose interest in over time. A right response leads to the right experience over the right time frame.
03 – 60 – Mutation
Generated / Individual Circuitry
Higher Intuitive Function: CLAIRCOGNIZANCE (Knowing Circuit)
The Channel of Mutation links the Root Center to the Sacral Center through the Gate of Acceptance (60) and the Gate of Ordering (3). The potential for evolutionary change that comes through this unpredictable, mutative, and melancholic channel depends on one's capacity to accept limitation (Gate 60) and transcend the confusion of new beginnings (Gate 3).
Background: Gate 60 is the hub of all evolutionary possibilities, while Gate 3 is always reaching for what is new and potentially viable, one possibility at a time. The underlying current or frequency governing this adrenalized generating Channel of Mutation is the format energy of Individual Circuitry. Its potent, on/off pulsing energy, associated with melancholy, permeates the way those with this channel live out their unique designs. This is an energy that also conditions or deeply affects everyone around them.
Personal: Your key to living with this melancholic process, a mechanical moodiness, is to avoid trying to reason it away. It is better to remain patient and alert as you wait for the new mutation to arrive on the scene through you. Time spent alone with your muse, when the pulse of mutation is off, can deepen and enrich your inner journey. Although you can't always see it, something is stirring underneath, and what is not yet ready to emerge continues to gestate and grow. This endless movement from chaos to order to chaos is the nature of the format energy as it always engenders the possibility for something new to come into the world. You only have to accept the limitation inherent in not knowing when this change (this pulse) will happen, and surrender to your Sacral response to bring the energy of change to all of us.
Interpersonal: Like music, mutation takes place suddenly, unexpectedly, in the gaps or the spaces between the pulses, or notes. It forces everyone to adapt or change, or be left behind. Those with the Channel of Mutation feel the pressure to bring innovation and renewal to their lives, jobs, families, and the world around them. The Root Center's constant pressure creates inner tension during the times when the on/off pulse is off and seemingly nothing is happening. This is experienced on a chemical level in the body as melancholy. As agents of mutation and change, individuals may find themselves trying to give reasons for their moods, and getting caught in the discomforting, shadow place themselves, which they normally tend to avoid. If they give in to this shadow, or do not wait for the correct response, the pressure to change the way things are done can lead to deep personal frustration and depression, as well as instability and chaos in those around them.
09 – 52 – Concentration
Generated / Collective Circuitry
Higher Intuitive Function: SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS (Angelic Circuit)
What we are dealing with is the Channel of Concentration. And the concentration, in a sense, aspects are derived from both the activations, but what it becomes is something else. This concentration is not sitting still. But keeping still is an aspect of concentration, though they are not the same thing. To be still doesn’t mean that one is necessarily concentrated at all. Show me somebody with the 52nd gate that does not have the 9th gate, and I will show you somebody who, in sitting still, is not concentrated. They’re uncomfortable and irritated. It’s something else.
It’s the same with the 9th gate, this Taming Power of the Small, the potential that is fulfilled through detailed attention to all aspects. But that’s not concentration. That’s an energy potential. It isn’t necessarily focused. This Channel of Focus and Concentration is a Design of determination. We always think that the channel is the gates. If you ask people to describe a channel for you rather than dealing with the keynote and the Design of the channel and elaborating on that, they will talk gates. They’ll either describe it with the accent on one end of the system or the other end. But it’s the channel.
This is the format energy to concentrate. And of course, that concentration is more than intellectual concentration; we’re talking about an energy format, to concentrate things, to bring them closer together. And it is a determined energy. It builds momentum. You notice that when you first begin to have to study when you’re in school and you’re studying for some kind of examination. What you notice about that is that the concentration isn’t there until there is a point where somehow you’re lost in it. You get lost in it. Everything gets honed into what that determined focus is going to be. And this is an energy that’s driving the whole logical process, the whole pattern process.
