35 - 36: The Channel of Transitoriness

a Design of a ‘Jack of all Trades’

This is an emotional manifesting channel that defies Logic’s caution and restrictive patterns. It will try anything and everything, whether of instrinsic value or not, to get things moving into the direction of a new experience.

Background: As the creative channel for the Sensing Circuit, this channel has a talent for seeking adventures and involving others in them. It finds expression through gate 35’s need to manifest change as in ‘been there, done that, what’s new?’. The emotionally-charged 36th gate perceives its inexperience as inadequacy, and so draws those with the channel of Tranitoriness into seeking experience, occasionally by engendering a crisis just to get things moving. Through this restless desire to explore the depth and consequence of our capacity to feel (emotion), our species matures and evolves and our gene pool expands, ultimately resulting in progress for the Collective. This is learning through experience for the sake of future generations. To be inclined to seek adventure and you can inspire others to join you on your journey. To see things through experience (especially emotional experiences). Adventures providing you a depth of wisdom over time as you go through life, learning that feelings are transitory and your advice to others will be “seize the moment”!

6. Justice

The inevitable survival of right.

Align with the exaltation of: The knowledge and attendant faith that the powers of darkness eventually destroy themselves. 'Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.' The correctness of crisis when it arises out of pure feelings.

Align with the exaltation of: The ability to prepare for and anticipate decline through the accumulation of secret or privileged information. The realization that knowledge both covert and esoteric is necessary, if one is to be prepared for crisis and change.

Avoid the detriment of: The tendency in recognizing the strengths of the opposition to accept the inevitability of decline and rather than resist, to offer one's services to guarantee survival. The double agent. Crisis knowledge that is available to others for a price.

3. Transition

The point at which decline has exhausted its power.

Align with the exaltation of: The ability to establish a new order out of the ashes of the old. The emotional depth to endure crisis and embrace change.
