12 - 22: The Channel of Openness
a Design of a ‘Social Being’
Openness in Channel 22-12 is dependent on the ebb and flow of the emotional wave or mood. It creatively voices or cts out the moodiness, melancholy, passion, romance and drama of the individual emotional wave. There is a quality of restraint in the 12th gate that governs the 22nd gate’s openness, limiting it to social interactions with people who appear to have the most mutative potential;
Background: The literally miraculous qualities of articulation, that developed through the mutation of the larynx 85,000 years ago, set the stage for humans to not only communicate their intelligence but to emotionally impact others with the quality of their voice. The Channel of Openness is the social channel of individual circuitry, yet it is guided by a ‘when I am in the mood’ orientation (emotional wave) that is not focused on being either social or friendly. Individuals are generally less interested in mating (Tribal) or sharing (Collective) than they are in creating a receptive environment for their potential to bring a transformative new awareness to the Collective and the Tribe. The key for people with this manifesting channel is to wait until they feel like interacting socially. If forced into social situations when on the low ebb of their wave, they can be misunderstood, become angry and abrupt, and fail to empower others. Such social failure, repeated over time, can lead to anti-social behavior and isolation.
