Centers

Mutation
When you think of centers you think of the nine geometric shapes in the bodygraph. Sometimes
they are colored in, other times they are not. They connect to each other via channels. But you
probably don't think of MUTATION. Yes, the centers are a deeply mutative and mutating
element.
The first thing to understand is that the centers are an evolving process and that the human
species is mutating through the evolution of the centers. We have evolved from the 7 to 9
centered being. And the 9 centered being is currently evolving through the mutation of the solar
plexus.
Secondly, the centers act as mutative hubs that redistribute energy in the context of its specific
qualities. Through this redirection and collection of energy they are constantly mutating and
being mutated by their surroundings.
Evolution from Seven to Nine Centered Beings
Many systems use the idea of centers or hubs to represent the human
being. The most well know is the Hindu Chakra system but there are
others, for example the eleven centers in Kabala. No matter what the
system, they all share in common the idea that we have central hubs
of energy within us.
In terms of numbers of hubs, nine is not a common
number. Many systems have human configurations
using seven hubs, which was the number of planets
visible to the naked eye.
Prior to 1781 the human as we know it did indeed have
seven centers. This date coincides with the discovery of
the Planet Uranus on March 13th, 1781 by Sir William
Herschel.

Hindu Chakra System

Since 1781 humanity has been expanding from the

Saturnian cycle of 28.6 years to the Uranian cycle of 84
years. The transition did not happen over night since these things take a long
time but 1781 was the mid point. It started the transformation with the Cross of
Planning in 1610.
This meant that humans on average started living longer lives. In the Saturnian
Cycle you were an old person by the time you were past 30. You were probably
even a grandparent by then since you started bearing children right out of
puberty. By the time you were 15 you were a full blown adult.

Kabala Tree of Life

In the Uranian Cycle this time frame has been greatly expanded. In fact you are still a young
man or woman until after 30. You aren't considered old until your late sixties (if that), and the
date is being pushed back more and more.
Humans have always been different from the rest of the animal kingdom due to the extended
length of time we depend on mothers for nourishment and protection. The time of helplessness
and vulnerability for human children is much longer than any other animal. With the new
Uranian Cycle, this time is even longer.
Unfortunately we still have remnants of the Saturnian belief system of when we should become
grown up and self sufficient, which results in people who aren't ready being put under pressure

to "get their act together". The truth is that children and young adults today aren't designed to
come into adulthood into well after their thirties or even into their forties.
So this transformation from 7 centers to 9 centers has created a deep mutation in what it means
to live, not only within our bodies but also in the way we actually live out our lives.
The Rave
In human design the 9 centered human is called a "Rave". But this is misleading. We actually
haven't fully developed into a Rave yet. Even though we have 9 centers we are still in a midpoint
between the 7 centered being and a fully developed 9 centered being. For the full mutation to
happen our Solar Plexus has to fully mutate into an "aware" awareness center. Right now it is an
awareness center but it isn't fully developed.
Fully mutated Raves will not begin to come until 2027 with the transformation of the solar
plexus. It is possible to see glimpses of what these Raves will be like, but any examples we see
today are only transitional elements and we have no idea what a Rave will really be like. People
with autism, people with prostrate cancer and "Indigo Children" are part of this transformation.
Our current situation is similar to the juxtaposition profile in that we are carrying a little bit of
the previous stage as well as a little bit of the next stage. Our new form is new to us and it won't
be until well after 2027 that we fully understand how to use our bodies to their new potential.

Genetic Imperative
Do you spend the majority of your time
trying to get laid? If you are like most
people, your answer would be no. You'd say
that there are more important things in life
than the base element of satisfying your
sexual desire with anyone who will oblige.
But on a genetic level your main purpose in
life is....well, get laid. Seriously, though,
your genetic imperative is to stay alive by
reproducing your genetic material via a
baby. And not just live for yourself, but for
the whole human race. You may die but
your genes have no plans of dying, so they
focus all their energy on getting you to
reproduce with as much diversity as
possible. It's not personal. It's survival.
If you dont make more, you die out. Every living thing does everything in its power to make
more and its never personal. The genes recognize that sameness is a dead end street and we
have worked sameness out of our biological system over millions of years because it is proven to
be detrimental. The narrower the gene pool; the more negative mutations take place. So the
genes become attracted to diversity. Culturally we seek similarity, as in Jews only marrying Jews
for example, but this is just another survival technique. Within that structure there is always an
allowance for diversity, the most basic one being that it's not cool to marry your direct genetic
gene pool (like for example your sister!).

So this genetic imperative can be a problem, since on a genetic level opposites attract but on
another level it is very hard living with somebody who is totally opposite to you. This is what we
call love/hate. What you really like about somebody half of the time you hate about them the
rest of the time. Your genes are saying "Yes!", your mother is saying "He's not one of us!". And
you are just plain confused.
Audio:

What does this have to do with centers? Well, Genetic Imperative is lived out through our open
centers.
Every one of our open centers is attracted to what is different, regardless of the consequences.
And all the while our mind is making up all sorts of reasons why or why not we should be doing
what we are doing, which can really get confusing.
For example, if you have one emotional person with one non-emotional person there can be this
deep love/hate interaction on the emotional level that causes all sorts of chaos and heartache.
Yet the genetics are loving it.
Strategy as Key
The term Not-Self stands for unhealthy behavior resulting from the genetic imperative. Genetics
don't care so long as they reproduce. You could live your whole life incorrectly, in the Not-Self,
and still satisfy genetic imperative.
The True-Self stands for healthy behavior resulting from living your strategy. With True-Self
behavior your open centers aren't just blind genetic imperatives but places to be wise. Our
potential wisdom via these open centers represents our outer authority, but it can never become
our decision-making process. That is always our inner strategy.
To honor Type, Strategy and Inner authority is the only way towards Self; it is the mechanical
conversion of what we really are. In this way we will not avoid conditioning, but we will find the
conditioning that is correct for us. The mutation will happen no matter what, but it will be a
much more harmonious experience.

Now that we have covered some of the overall concepts, lets look at the Biology of the Centers.

Stomach, Heart, Gall Bladder, Thymus
Gland

Sacral Ovaries, Testes

Spleen Lymphatic System, Spleen, B-Cells

Plexus Neuron Network, Nervous System, Lungs
Root Adrenal Glands
As you know the nine centers represent psychological elements (such
as emotions, for example) but you probably aren't as aware that they
are deeply rooted in the physical body. This distinction between
psychology and physical body is of course irrelevant since the two are
inseparable. But scientifically, especially in western science, we are
very ignorant as to how the physical and psychological meet, let
alone the spiritual. Human Design clearly shows the connection.

Biologically the majority of centers belong to the endocrine and

nervous system or are closely connected to them. The nervous and
endocrine systems act together to regulate physiology. The endocrine
system is a collection of glands scattered throughout the body that
secrete chemical messages in the form of hormones. These signals
are passed through the blood to arrive at a target organ, which has
cells possessing the appropriate receptor.
In addition to the classical endocrine organs, many other cells in the
body secrete hormones. Myocytes in the atria of the heart and
scattered epithelial cells in the stomach and small intestine are
examples of what is sometimes called the "diffuse" endocrine system.

Here is a chart of the

endocrine system in
females and males.
Can you connect the
Centers with the
corresponding
endocrine gland?

If the term hormone is defined broadly to include all secreted chemical messengers, then
virtually all cells can be considered part of the endocrine system, which means that the physical
parts of the body associated with the centers are deeply influencing every part of our body
through the constant relay of messages.
Key Points:

All bodily events are influenced by the endocrine milieu:

There are no cell types, organs or processes that are not influenced - often profoundly by hormone signaling.

All "large" physiologic effects are mediated by multiple hormones acting in concert:
Normal growth from birth to adulthood, for example, is surely dependent on growth
hormone, but thyroid hormones, insulin-like growth factor-1, glucocorticoids and several
other hormones are also critically involved in this process.

There are many hormones known and little doubt that others remain to be discovered.

Biology - Keep it to yourself

Just because the head center has a relationship with the Pineal Gland does not mean you need
to tell people that. It is probably a good idea you don't go into the biology when you are showing
somebody their chart, regardless of the temptation to impress them with how much cool (and
basically useless) info you have crammed in your brain.
Knowing the biological relationship has very little impact on whether a person will live their
strategy and honor their authority, which is the only important thing. In fact, if you go into great
detail about the biology of the centers, it will probably distract and confuse them. Don't do it.
KISS - keep it simple.
The goal in this course of showing you the biology is just to give you an idea of the background
behind centers so that you understand how they concretely connect to the body. The biology
gives useful insights into the psychological characteristics of the centers, which can be very
useful when looking at a chart.

Since it is not your information, it is different from what you know normally. And because of your
genetics, difference is attractive. Therefore you find this information attractive and intriguing,
and you spend time thinking about it. This means you are thinking about things that dont
belong to you. People spend lifetimes wasting their time trying to process information that has
no use to them. They do it simply because it is irresistible and they aren't living their strategy.
The brain is structured so that its capacity for storage is infinite. It doesn't mean you have
access; it just means it keeps on storing. You take all this stuff in every moment of every day
and it gets stored in the head center.
This is in-spiration - you are in-spiring. You are taking in the movie of your life and storing it
infinitely in the space within your brain - the deep gray areas. And it builds up a pressure
because you're designed to take it in and process the consciousness field. It is a breathing in and
a breathing out.
So it is a pressure that literally generates mental anxiety. This anxiety is one of the three fears:
1.

primal fears of the Splenic system

2.

anxiety of the mind and the Ajna

3.

nervousness of the Solarplex system and the nervous system itself.

The moment you allow the mind to be the authority for your life you bring on this anxiety. The
mental anxiety can be reconstructed in so many ways, endlessly - over your whole life. When
you're afraid of something mentally and allow it to control you, then you cannot get rid of it
because you can never confront it. Since it's just mental you can change into any shape and
color.
This does not mean that if you live your design and honor your authority that the pressure will
go away or the anxiety will subside. It will always be there. It serves a purpose. But it won't
control your actions and that is a huge difference. Your life will unfold not based on the anxiety
of your mind but based on the correctness of your actions. What is inside your mind will not
become reality outside. It will remain a pressure, sometimes an anxiety, but it will never become
a concrete reality.
Because you want to get rid of that pressure as fast as
possible, on the logical side (63-4) you are going to come up
with solutions that blow up in your face. Meanwhile, on the
abstract side (64-47) something nags at you from the past
and until you make some kind of sense of it, it will stay there
as a pressure bothering you. The individual channel in the
middle (61-24) can simply drive you crazy with a mystery that
keeps coming back to torment you.
The outer authority of the mind can be extraordinary, but the
mind is absolutely useless as an inner authority. An open
center will always be attracted to what it is not and the open
head center will always try to answer or resolve mental
pressures that aren't theirs. So the trick is to appreciate the question without feeling the
responsibility of solving it. A riddle for riddle's sake. And all the while you are living your strategy
so externally your life is really fine, despite all the confusion, mystery and doubts passing
through your head. By the sheer power of your living your design those anxieties will become
less and less powerful.
Head and Root Centers - Pressure Sandwiches

The Head Center and the Root Center are both pressure centers, But they're
different. The Root Center is a motor, so its fuel is different than the Head
Center. The Head Center is just a mental pressure without the motor to back it
up. The mind is caught in an intellectual sandwich, and it's a non-motor
sandwich: Head Center above creating the pressure to think and Throat Center
below to externalize the thoughts.
Because the head center is not there to give the mind motorized pressure, the mind itself is not
designed to do anything active. It's designed to manifest communication through language, not
action. The authority for action is always some place else in your design.
This is different to the root center. Adrenaline pressure is very different from conceptual
pressure. If the root center says move, you better move fast! And the adrenaline is there to help
you. If the head center says move there is no motor to jump you into action, so don't get fooled
into thinking you need to do anything. If you follow your real authority and strategy it will all
work out ok.

Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland is located in a small bony cavity
at the base of the brain. A stalk links the pituitary to
the hypothalamus, which controls release of pituitary
hormones. The pituitary gland has two lobes: the
anterior and posterior lobes.
The pituitary gland is widely referred to as the
"Master gland" because its hormonal secretions have
as their target organs other endocrine glands (like
the Pineal Gland, for example). The pituitary gland is
the point of convergence--and coordination--of the
body's two great integrative mechanisms, the
nervous and endocrine systems.

Ajna Center - Who's the boss?

We already know that all the centers are directly related biologically to the nervous and
endocrine systems. And just like the pituitary gland is a "Master Gland" in relation to these
systems, the ajna also plays a central role within the other centers, acting as a central hub.
However, the fact that your mind is deeply connected biochemically to the rest of you gives a
false sense of power to the mind. The importance given to the mind in our society is very
obvious but less acknowledged is the chaos this can create.
Don't let this talk about the Pituitary Gland being a master gland fool you into thinking the ajna
center is a Master Center. Just because it plays a huge role in recording what is going on does
not mean it is all powerful and the boss. It is an observer, the scribe of the castle. It is not
driving the car. And because of it's inseparable connection to all the other centers it can cause all
sorts of problems when not used correctly. It is the main hub of Not self strategy. In many ways
the ajna center can easily be the enemy.
The connection of the pituitary gland to the rest of the body is why the mind can express the
characteristics of the other centers. It can seem emotional, splenic, egoic, or an expression of
our identity. We experience our bodies and the interaction of our bodies with the rest of the
world largely through the "mind's eye". But this does not mean the ajna center is the boss. Our
boss is always our strategy and inner authority, which is unique to your design.
Who's driving your car?
It is a scientific fact that whatever you think, say and do is initiated long before the neo cortex
and self reflected consciousness has anything to do with it. All awareness of our thoughts
happen in the deep gray areas of the brain milliseconds BEFORE we are even aware of the
thought, let alone have decided to act on it.
Ajna Awareness (what we call mind) is not a creative event; it is a reactive one. The awareness
comes AFTER a long chain of biochemical processes that take place before one is consciously
aware of anything. Through the pituitary the neo-cortex gives you updates to what is happening
in your physical life. But it is not creating or guiding that life.
For example, your body might make a liquid check to see how much water you have inside you.
After checking it sees it is low and decides to go get some water. As a courtesy to your you it
lets you know almost immediately after it decides. But be very clear: When you say to yourself,
"I'm going to get up and get a glass of water" you are kidding yourself. You didn't decide
anything. You were informed. The decision was made way before you even knew you were
thirsty!
Thus Human beings are not creative; we are reactive. It is not that we can't create wonderful
things, but that creation is actually a reaction to something. Whether we are creative directly or
creative in reaction to something might seem like an irrelevant point, but it is important in
showing that the mind isn't running the show.
Understanding the correct role of the ajna is the key to waking up. The pituitaries give us the
illusion of being in control because they give us intense awareness of our physical body and it's

interaction with the world. The ajna works so quickly in passing us

information that we think it is the one actually making the decision.
But being able to associate with what is going on does not mean you
are controlling what is going on. We only have the illusion of being in
charge.
Imagine you are driving a car on a racetrack. You are enjoying taking
the turns. The engine is revving under you. You can see the turns and
the car appears to turn when you move the steering wheel. You are in
control. Now what if you were told that the steering wheel was
disconnected and the car was really being driven by remote control?
You only thought you were in control. It sounded and felt like you
were driving the car but it only felt that way. Just because you can
see what is happening from the driver's seat does not mean you are
the driver. That is what the mind does. It allows you to look through
the driver's eyes. But be very clear: Let your strategy guide you and
honor your authority. They drive your vehicle. And they are not your
mind.

often it is just because they are living, or maybe even merely sitting
next to, a person with a defined ajna.

They aren't even aware of what is happening but their mind is being
conditioned and they feel twice as certain as the defined ajna next to
them. Temporarily, of course. They themselves will realize that their
certainty is an illusion the moment they are out of the influence of the
defined ajna, at which point it will all fall apart for them.
And it get's to a point where it just happens all the time, regardless of
whether their mind is in the aura of a defined mind. This creates deep
insecurity inside the undefined ajna.
The defined mind is what establishes the parameters of the vanity of
our process whether it is logical, abstract, or individual. The brilliance
of your mind will not save you. It will only make you terribly certain.
No matter whether the mind is open (pretending to be fixed) or
defined ( truly fixed), it is still an illusion of control. The strategy and
authority is the only way to live a healthy life, regardless of what
certainty the mind has in that.

The result is not easy. You can turn left by following your strategy and your mind can be giving
you a million reasons why it is better to turn right. And they might all make sense. But your
mind is a back seat driver. It is here to tell you the million reasons. Let it. But follow your
strategy. The more you do it the more you will be ok with the endless stream of information your
mind gives you, all the while not letting it upset you or control what direction you take in life.
So now do you See?
There is a major transition that took place in humans that is very different from other creatures,
including other other mammals. That mutation was the development of the human neo-cortex
and its capacity for self-reflective consciousness. But more than that, the mutation that took
place in the larynx would allow humans to communicate at a very sophisticated level - the more
sophisticated the sounds, the more memory necessary, the more conceptualizing taking place.
Just like with your computer (we're not computers, but we do compute).
We have already gotten under control the splenic, animal, need for survival of the form. Humans
are doing pretty good at proliferating our form, as our population explosion shows.
We are now in the second stage of building the visual Maya. Our Ajna-related sense is rooted in
the eyes. The mind is visual - hence lies the trap. Biologically, the Pineal and Pituitary Glands
work very closely with light, and in terms of the centers, the mind is here to establish the visual
Maya, which cannot exist in darkness. Until we establish the visual Maya there's no way to get to
the third stage, which is emotional spirit consciousness, rooted in the solar plexus. But that is
another story.
The way in which we perceive the world and give the world its name and attributes is through
the eyes. We have a spectrum that is available to us visually - but it is very limited. We do not
see radio waves; we do not see electromagnetic waves. Most of the wavelength information that
exists in the universe we don't see. Our capacity to see is physically limited, which means that
the conceptualization of the Maya is limited. Because of that, the mind alone has no way to be
able to guide us in our physical life. It's too limited, which of course is yet another way of saying,
follow your strategy and authority, which is never the mind.
So let's say it together:
There's nothing more joyful, more painful, more useless, and more powerful than the mind.
FOREVER.
Now put the Head and Ajna together:

And following your strategy won't make that change. But it will allow you to enjoy the mind for
what it is good at: processing information, telling the story as it sees the landscape go by, being
a good passenger, just like you.

Throat Center

Defined: 71%

metamorphose and transform

Thyroid Gland
The thyroid gland is located in the neck.
Follicles in the thyroid secrete hormones.
Stimulation from the anterior pituitary
gland causes production of thyroid
hormones. Almost all body cells are targets of thyroid hormones.
Anything to do with the metamorphosis of the body is regulated by the thyroid
gland. The gland is a regulator of all body functions. These include controlling the
overall metabolic rate, growth and development,
sexual development, calcium regulation and bone
production.
An under productive or over productive thyroid leads
to all sorts of metabolic or developmental problems
such as mood swings, weight control, irregular body
growth, body temperature control and energy levels.

The
thyroid
gland has

Throat Center Duality

The Throat Center at its biological level is a duality, seen in the two
Thyroid lobes. You can further subdivide that duality into four
parts, as seen in the parathyroid glands.

The basic binary is:

(a) communication
(b) manifestation.
Each of those can be paired again:
(i) communication or manifestation that is defined
(ii) communication or manifestation that is undefined
We'll see this in more depth when looking at the gates (see below).
Above and Below the Throat
When looking at the Ajna center we saw how it was
biologically connected to all other body functions. But
we also saw that it's role was to watch what was going
on only and not make the decisions. It was
an Awareness Center. The throat center on the other
hand, does influence the rest of the body. As can be
clearly seen in the role of the Thyroid Gland, the throat
center is a Gearbox, a regulator. It isn't the fuel since it
is not a motor, but it regulates the speed at which the
fuel is burned.
Also notice in the bodygraph another interesting visual
cue: the positioning of the ajna to the throat. It gives
you insight into how the bodygraph works. Really you
have two parts to the bodygraph: everything above the
throat and everything below.

all comes out and becomes one through the throat. The
Throat has direct access to six other centers! All roads
lead to the throat and those roads are short.

The Throat has eleven gates, more than any other center, and only one biology: the Thyroid. The
throat, despite it's ability to harness many input streams, is focused on one simple thing:
regulating the flow of energy. Remember how the thyroid regulates our body's temperature. To
do that is must be in constant communication with the outside energy levels and the inside
energy levels.
The sacral center also regulates energy, but as any pure generator knows, it can easily get
stuck. This is not the case with the throat. The throat is a master at finding the perfect energy
level. We all need to go through a metamorphic process. That is what it mean to be alive.
Without the metamorphic energy (via action or voice) all generators would perpetually be stuck
and all the other types would simply be lifeless.

Getting Attention
Since the throat center is the center of metamorphosis and
metamorphosis creates distinction, the throat center also regulates how
visible we are in the world. Noise and movement, both key throat
attributes, get you noticed (for good or bad).
For example, if you are looking for an animal in the forest you might not
notice it until it moves. Or in the classroom the child who grows slower
or faster than the other children is noticed. In terms of noise it is
obvious that it gets attention. If you are sitting in a movie theatre full of people, the only person
you'll really notice is the one who is talking. And there is a good chance that they have an open
throat that is being pumped up by all the defined throats around them!
A defined throat is designed to get attention (good or bad) in their fixed way. An undefined
throat is here to be flexible in how they get attention. Both need to follow their strategy. Only
then will they get the attention that is correct.
People with open throats can become obsessed with attracting attention, just like people with
defined throats can spend a lifetime trying to stay out of the way. This is a distortion of their
natural talents. The moment you are conditioned by attracting attention is the moment you dont
see the possibilities on either side of the coin.
Open throats can attract attention but they can't control when or how. Defined throats can
attract attention but it can be lots of the wrong attention if they don't act correctly.
Defined or undefined, the only important thing lies in whether you take decision making away
from the mind. With an open throat if your life is focused on getting attention, then you get
sick. However, if you are correct with an open throat and attract people then its beautiful. With
a defined throat if you are correct then you will get attention that won't hit you over the head.

songs.

Metamorphosis and Pressure

Even though the throat connects directly to more centers than any other center,
there are two centers it does not directly connect to: Head and Root. This
means no direct access to pressure! When we looked at the head center we saw
that we're living in a pressure sandwich - the mental pressure above, the
adrenaline pressure below. But the throat is not directly connected to that.
What does that mean? It means that manifestation is oblivious to pressure. Otherwise, we would
all run ourselves to death from the pressure, like a balloon letting its air out.The head and root
pressures stimulate the other centers, which then find their outlet via the throat. But the act of
metamorphosis does not happen under pressure. Imagine pressuring a flower to blossom! And
the joke is? That so many of us are running around under great pressure to manifest. It is a sad
joke.

Your Voice(s)
The primary nature of the Throat Center is to speak, not manifest. Out of the 11 gates only 3
are manifesting gates (35, 12, 45). We have 11 tongues. Articulation began in the 12th gate.
The ten other gates represent the primary tongues of humanity where all the languages that
ever existed fit into one of those ten gates. There are very few gates that are Gates of Primary
Action. Then you have gates of Secondary Action.
If you have a gate in the Throat, and it doesn't matter if the Throat is defined or undefined since
that's just about consistency, that gate is your voice. It's the only voice that you can rely on. It
doesn't mean that that voice isn't going to be conditioned if it's an active gate in an undefined
Throat. Obviously, somebody else or some planet is going to have to hook up that Throat.
Looking at a Rave chart is about seeing the Self and the Not-Self. Everything about looking at
the Throat is seeing your voice and the not-voices.
If you don't have the 45th gate, every time you say, "I have," it's not your voice. You're not here
to talk in terms of what you have and what you don't have. That belongs to somebody who has
that voice and they are probably sitting right next to you! If you don't have the 56th gate and
you're saying, "I believe," you're being conditioned by somebody.
If you're living a conditioned life, you get the problems of that conditioned being. The same thing
is true that if you live out a conditioned voice, you have to deal with all the consequences of that
voice and you may not be equipped to do so. If you're constantly speaking in a voice that
doesn't belong to you, it ultimately is going to do damage to your Throat.
The only people who are free of that are those who have absolutely no activation whatsoever in
the Throat - a true rarity, by the way. It is not possible for them to have any voice of their own
and they live under a different condition.

The Liver
The liver, located in the upper right side of the abdomen, acts as a
filter to remove toxins and waste products from the body. It stores
nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and iron, and also plays a role in
managing levels of certain chemicals in the body, such as cholesterol,
hormones, and sugars.
The liver helps the body digest food and break down toxins by
producing a substance called bile, which is stored in the gallbladder.
Other important functions of the liver include processing hemoglobin
and producing blood-clotting factors. A healthy liver filters blood
smoothly.

Monopole Song
(To the tune
Toplady,
The liver can be damaged by a number of different factors, including
usually for the hymn excessive alcohol intake, cancer, genetic liver disorders, or infections
Rock of Ages)
such as hepatitis C.
As the day requires

As the left requires

So are north and

monopoles!

When the liver cells are damaged, they cannot function well and may
die. Some of these cells may grow back, but if the injury is severe,
scar tissue may form. A buildup of scar tissue on the liver, called
fibrosis, slows down the liver's ability to circulate blood and remove
toxins.
Magnetic Monopole
The magnetic monopole resides in the G center and is similar to a
magnet with only one pole, and all that pole does is attract. It creates
a reference point around which all else revolves. Without this internal

pull we would have no sense of differentiation.; my body versus your

body. Without it we could feel totally connected to the universe. We
would feel at one with the totality.
The monopole creates the illusion that each cell is separate from
each other, even though each cell is a tiny fragment of the greater
pattern. Just like the liver is constantly filtering the blood and
separating what is not us (the toxins) from what is us (vitamins and
minerals), the magnetic monopole separates us from the totality.
It is not about saying the toxins are bad and the vitamins are good.
Those toxins are actually very good for other creatures in the world.
And the vitamins would kill them. That is the beauty of differentiation.
There is no blame or shame. It is just about saying, "This is me, that
is you." To know the difference and to honor it is a wonderful thing.
Love

Sigmond Freud has a

defined G. He is
designed to have a
fixed direction
through the channel
of the creative and
mutative role model.
This is especially
powerful for him
since he also has the
cross of the Sphinx.

Differentiation. allows for love. There is love of humanity, self,

inanimate objects, the universes, the body - and all these aspects are
regulated by the magnetic monopole and the G center. Of course the
opposite is true too. There are many forms of hate. Without
differentiation. there would be no room for this duality. Me and you,
up and down, it only works when there is a monopole pulling you to
you and me to me. Without that, there would be one universal love
but nobody (NO BODY) to experience it. The vast ocean of love needs
creatures to swim in it :)
Direction
If there is no differentiation. then there is no direction. If all is one
then there is nowhere to go. With differentiation. there is a reference
point. "I am going straight in relation to that." The G center acts as a
compass. It creates left, right, up, down through the differentiation. of
the self.
Self
This is the easiest to understand. If we are all one then there is no
"you" and "me." There isn't even a "we." There is just the "itness" of
being. No mind, no identity, no body. Just existence without any
distinction between you and the totality. That might sound appealing
to you if you are into meditation and enlightenment, but our bodies
are built to have differentiation. You can't have both. Either you exist
as a human in the body or you evaporate into the "one-ness", in
which case there is no "you" to experience that anyway.

Open G
If you do not live your strategy you distort this process and do not
find your place. You break the sacred circle. You will live in the wrong

Julio Iglesias is
arguably the most
successful love song
singer in the world.
One journalist writes,

place, eat the wrong food, and love the wrong people. The list is endless. This will be the case
for both defined and undefined G centers.
For an open G center, however, place is exceptionally important because it will condition them
more than a person with defined G (internal consistency in love, direction and self). First of all it
is not easy to find your place if you have an open G, yet to find the right place(s) is crucial
because it will determine the quality of love, direction and identity.
The first thing to understand is that the right place isnt one place since there are different
places for different things. The open G is not fixed. They can have different variations of love,
direction and identity. To understand that is to see it as a strength and not a weakness. They
shouldn't try to be consistent like people with a defined G.
Secondly, finding the right place usually is a process of elimination through finding the wrong
places. It always comes down to living your strategy. When you truly give up trying to control
the process the place finds you. And places you never would have considered turn out to be
actually very good for you. Likewise, places you thought were good turn out to be horrible.
Therefore by using your strategy you will find those places that will allow you to express a
consistent identity within the situation. It is important to understand that the identity is fixed
only within the situation. There needs to be a flexibility for the open G.
A lot of people feel uncomfortable with having an undefined G Center. There is a stigma attached
to that because they think they don't have a 'Self'. Remember that to live in the world means no
center. remains undefined for too long. It's always getting hooked up by people and transiting
planets. And an open G does not mean you don't have a magnetic monopole holding you
together either.
The difference between defined and undefined is that one is fixed and the other is inconsistent.
The inconsistency makes them wise about the other. For example, if you have an undefined
Splenic system or undefined Ajna, you have no fixed awareness, but because those centers are
open you are here to be aware of awareness. Somebody with an undefined Self is here to be
aware of Self, to be able to identify Self, because it gets to experience Self in all of its
possibilities through its openness. In this case Self means identity. The same is true for love and
direction.
All an open G means is that direction and love is inconsistent - not absent. The defined Self has
very little recognition of the nature of Self at all. What you are, you live. It is the undefined Self
that has this capacity to recognize the nature of Self. What is the right direction? What is the
healthiest identity? The open G center be wise in that.
Wrong Place, Wrong People
One of the ways for the undefined Self to recognize the nature of its life is to see clearly that
everything for it must be initiated by others. Because something is initiated by others does not
mean that you owe them or you are bound to them. If you go to a restaurant with somebody
and don't like the restaurant, you're with the wrong people because they will take you to the
wrong places.
If somebody takes you to a place you like, you don't have to hold onto them for dear life
because you hope that they will take you to other places that are good. You can always go back
to that place yourself the second time. And there are many people in life who can take you to
places.
The burden of the undefined Self is the burden that "I do not know where I am going and I do
not know if I can hold onto love." Yet, everybody in the world is here to offer them all those

things. Everybody is here to offer the undefined Self a direction, a form of love, and because of
that they have a real gift. They've got all the flavors. They're a unifying force. All undefined
centers, when wisdom emerges out of them, they become unifying forces. They help the other to
understand. An open G center reflects the defined G center and this can be very helpful for
everyone.

Crosses of Love and Direction

The eight gates in the G center make up two crosses: the Cross of the
Sphinx and the Cross of the Vessel of Love. In the wheel these gates
are equal in distance to each other. The G Center. is magical because it
pulls the entire wheel together into a core, just like the monopole pulls
us together into a core.
The G center gates play key roles in the wheel. The eight G gates are
the leading gates of the eight houses of the I Ching. These lead gates
provide the basic foundation, the lower trigram, that the following seven
gates along the wheel share in common. These eight gates also touch
all 12 zodiacal signs. As seen in the Vessel of Love, all of the gates are
cusp hexagrams that cross zodiacal lines.
Cross of the Sphinx
13 - Direction Looking Back
1 - Place in the Now
2 - Direction
7 - Direction Looking Forwards
The Cross of the Sphinx is about direction. Literally what that means is
that if you take all the G Centers on Earth and you add them all up with
all of their Monopoles, what we're doing is we're holding ourselves in
line to love and we are following the direction of love. That direction of
love is to return to the whole. If you are looking for the place within
every single human being that is there to touch God as a totality, it is
within the G Center. and it does not matter whether that's defined or
not - that's not the point. Everyone has a Monopole - we are all part of
the direction of love. When looking at the Sphinx you see the physical
direction of the totality as it moves through space. This is the direction
of mutation.
If you look at the arrangement of the Sphinx gates in the G center you
can see Shiva's three pronged staff. This is the Neptunian symbol or a
pitchfork. Because of the Sun/Earth configuration there are 4 times a
year when people are born with this cross. These people maintain our
direction in the world. Without them we'd be lost. Also, every 165 years
we get a very special generation who are born with Neptune in the
Cross. This time it was in the late 1967 until mid1970 when the planet
Neptune was in the 46th gate. The planet Neptune rules the Sphinx and
thus our direction. The people born between 1967 and 1970 who had
the Cross of the Sphinx are empowered by Neptune out of the Sacral to
generate mutative direction.

Cross of the Vessel of Love

10

Love of the Self

Universal Love
Love of the Body
Love of Humanity

This Cross of the Vessel of Love holds four different ways of how the
Self can love. This is not to be confused with other forms of love.
Other ways are sexual love that exists through electro-magnetic
connections, that is, where one person has one gate in a channel and
another person has another, or love of what you don't have, as in
attraction to a defined or open center.
In the Vessel of love we're talking about the love that has to do with
our direction, and it is the higher love that guides our place within the
totality. Each of the gates is a component of the Vessel and clearly
show how the G center creates differentiation.
The 15th gate is the outside of the urn or the Vessel. It is the outer
surface and what you have contact with. It is love of Humanity.
The 46thgate is the Gate of the Flesh that creates the internal walls
of the Vessel. It is love of the body. The 25th gate is the Gate of
Blood and this is what fills the Vessel up. It is universal love.
The 10th gate is the Gate of the Behavior of the Self or the Gate of
Nature, and this is the lip of the Vessel out of which the life is poured.
This is love of the self.
The Sphinx cross connects three centers but the Vessel of love
involves five different centers and brings in awareness and the Ego.
This means that love has a much more extensive network within us
than direction does. The real difference is being generated by the 10th
gate because it opens up in several different ways, opening up into Integration. It all pours out
from the love of the self.
G Center Conclusion
Hopefully you see now that the main function of the G center is to orient us in space, whether
that be in relation to Love, Direction or Self. The G center draws a circle in the huge universe
and says, "Everything within this circle is me and everything outside this circle is not me." It is
the creation of place. Every time the liver removes a toxin from the body it is saying "You do not
belong in this circle."

Audio

Ego Center
In the section on the G center we see how the G center concerns our general direction in relation
to the rest of the world, especially related to love and identity. We also see in the section on the
head center how the head center concerns the direction of our intellectual consciousness. The
ego center also effects our direction. It concerns our direction on the material plane - everything
from how fat we are to how much money we have in our bank account to how many children we
are sending to college.
The ego is unique in that it is the only center with an actual circuit named after it and
surrounding it, and thus the Ego Circuit and the ego center are completely entwined. As you
know it is all about financial security for the tribe (i.e. family, business, community, etc). The
ego allows us to prove our worth on the material plane to the tribe.
So if you have an open ego center ask yourself: in what ways are you trying to prove yourself on
the material plane to the tribe (i.e. your family, your job, your community). Is it with your car?
Is it with your body? Is it with the long hours you work? Is it with the diplomas you hang on the
wall? How are you wasting your energy trying to prove (or improve) yourself for the tribe?
If you have a defined ego center you can ask yourself the same questions, although the pressure
is not as strong as somebody with an undefined ego. But we all feel the pressure. It is built into
us with the Channel of the Materialist (21-45). Regardless of whether you have the channel, it is
a tribal energy that we all feel and are exposed to.
Once you ask yourself what you are trying to prove, you can then ask yourself if you got into it
correctly. Did you live your strategy? More importantly, this will make you aware the next time
you feel the pressure so that you live your strategy.
Biology

The Ego has four different biological affiliations,

much more than any other center. In spite of it
having the second fewest gates after the head
center, it has a massive biological role. It is the
exact opposite of the throat center, which has many
gates but only one biology. Here we have few gates
but several biologies.
What does this mean? Basically, the throat performs
one biological function to many areas, namely,
metamorphosis of our whole being. The biology is
metamorphosis and the area is everywhere via the
many gates.
The heart center on the other hand performs several biological functions in an isolated area,
namely, the material plane. The biology is varied (which we will look at below) but the area is
focused on material well being. For the throat center the metamorphosis of material well being is
only one of 11 of it's gates (gate 45). It is also focused on the metamorphosis of ideas (gate
56), the metamorphosis of emotional experiences (gate 35) and so on. For the ego center the
only focus and output is via the 45th gate and it is about saying, "I have." Or "I don't have."
The ego center focuses it's energy (it is a motor) on the improvement and accumulation on the
material plane, and this involves a large part of our day, using a large amount of our energy. The
throat center via the 45th gate then plays the role of expressing that and metamorphosing it
into sound and movement.
Let's look at the ego center gate by gate to get an overall understanding of the ego qualities.

21 - The Gate of Control

The function of the heart is to pump blood around the body. The heart's ability to contract is due
to the presence of cardiac muscle in its wall which can work continuously without fatigue. The
cardiac muscle is self-exciting. This is in contrast with skeletal muscle, which requires either
conscious or reflex nervous stimuli. The heart's rhythmic contractions occur spontaneously,
although the frequency or heart rate can be changed by nervous or hormonal influences such as
exercise or the perception of danger.
The 21st gate relates to this heart muscle.
That's why the mantra of the 21 is to be in control. If they can't
control their lives then on a very basic level they lose control over
how their heart pumps, which obviously can cause major
problems. If people with the 21 are in control of what they eat,
what they wear and where they live, they keep their heart healthy.
Bringing it back to the ego center overall, control is a major element of the ego center.
Undefined egos can feel they aren't in control of their material direction. Defined egos can feel
they need to control the material direction of others. Both can cause problems if not entered into
correctly. Control issues are rampant in the world and they have a lot to do with people not
understanding the mechanics of the ego center.

26 - The Gate of the Egoist

The 26th gate relates to the thymus gland, which belongs to the endocrine system (like so many
other centers) and is located in the upper anterior portion of the chest cavity. The thymus plays
an important role in the development of the immune system in early life, and its cells form a
part of the body's normal immune system. They are the
famous T cells.
This gland creates a direct connection between the Ego
and the Splenic system, both via the Channel of the
Transmitter (26-44) and biologically, and is one of the
most essential health channels.
In the development of the foetus,
the ego related biologies develop
before the splenic related biologies. Basically, there is an ego in a foetus
before there is a spleen. The ego thymus designs the immune system and
keeps on working on that immune system until the child is three years old.
Then the thymus gland takes up the responsibility of defending the immune
system. From the 44th gate we have the release of B-cells. From the 26th
gate we have the release of T-cells. These are killer cells - their job is to kill
things that invade the system.
The 26th gate is the Gate of Memory. It is the completion of the instinctive memory process and
its completion within the ego. In other words, this is ego memory. But ego memory can be
manipulated: "The fish was this big!" There may indeed have been a fish, but it's size, given the
nature of the 26th gate, is open to over-exaggeration.

The T cell is a virus' worst nightmare

This is the ego's capacity to reach out and make contact with the community. As such, this is the
Gate of the egoist. In business terms, this is the Gate of the Marketing Person - the ability to be
able to go out there and say, "This is the best damned car you have ever encountered, and I'm
going to give you the best damned price you've ever had with the longest guarantee. I swear my
own daughter uses this car and it is incredibly good. Now, will that be cash or ...?" Exaggeration
can become lies. But that is the fine line that the Egoist treads.
This process, don't forget, is about our immune system. It's sometimes good for your health to
be an egoist. It is like the T-cells. When they see a health problem they bombard the threat with
complete exaggeration until it is annihilated. Nothing is held back. The person buying that car
willingly recognizes that they are being exaggerated to. But they like the idea of buying the best
car. It is good for you and your family to have the best car. It duplicates what your T-cells are
doing all the time: keeping your and your family alive in the best possible way. The car owner
can then turn to their friends next door and say, "This is the best car, and the salesman gave me

the best deal." And if the car breaks, don't worry, they've got the best mechanic in town to take
care of it.
Bringing it back to the ego center overall, the ego loves the feeling of getting ahead, that they
are doing well and their family is doing well. And if it involves a little bit of exaggeration (ego
inflation), then so be it. The ego likes to feel good about itself. The defined ego knows this and in
the ideal world they can even make others feel good. But the flip side often happens: the
defined ego makes others feel bad.
The undefined ego does not consistently have this energy to boost their ego, which can result in
lack of feeling good about themselves - loss of self worth, the feeling that their car is less than
adequate etc.

51 - Gate of Shock
The 51st gate is associated with the gallbladder, a pear-shaped organ that stores bile (or "gall")
until the body needs it for digestion. The bile is released when food containing fat enters the
digestive tract.
This is the gate of shock because it is the gall of a fool to
leap into the void. The 51 is part of the only non-tribal
channel in the ego center - the Channel of Initiation (5125). It is the way in which the ego empowers the
Universal Love of the 25th gate. Without Universal Love,
the heart turns to stone (gall bladder stones).
Imagine someone having the gall to jump from the 51st
gate out of the tribal element into the unknown and
finding their self (G center) on the other side. This is
part of the Individual Centering Circuit. This Channel of
Initiation is a very grounding channel. And on this side it
is fueled by the gall energy of the ego center.
Bringing it back to the ego center overall, the ego is
not an awareness center, nor is it particularly subtle. It
is full of gall, which is powerful enough on the biological
level to digest almost anything you put in your mouth.
On another level, the ego is able to get you through
pretty much anything. It has the gall to do that.
The undefined ego is always uncertain whether they
have the ego to accomplish something and this creates insecurity and lack of worth. They are
always trying to prove they can accomplish what they set out to do, putting great pressure on
their heart, stomach and gall bladder. Think heartburn, ulcers and heart attacks.
The defined ego knows their strength better than the undefined ego, but they can be reluctant to
use it. Or they overdo it and become overly competitive, which causes problems too.

40 - The Gate of Aloneness

The 40th gate is related to the stomach. Generally, the stomach's primary function is not the
absorption of nutrients from digested food; this task is usually performed by the intestine. The
main job of the stomach is to break down large food molecules into smaller ones, so that they
can be absorbed into the blood more easily.
The human stomach is a highly acidic environment maintained
by the secretion of hydrochloric acid. The stomach's interior
can secrete 2 to 3 liters of gastric fluid per day.
The 40th gate is part of the Channel of Community. This is
where church potlucks and community fundraisers happen. It
is all about food and making sure the tribe has enough of it.
Like all ego gates, it is also about the bargain. Nothing is free
with the ego center. This gate says, "I'll work to get money if
you buy the food and cook it." And if the bargain is not fulfilled then there will be consequences,
regardless of whether that is taking out the garbage or helping build the community church.
Take for example the true story of an air force bomber pilot in the German Air Force. During the
second world war he got shot down over the Ukraine and broke his hip when he hit the ground.
He walked, sometimes dragging himself, across the 1,700 miles of enemy territory to get himself
back to his village in Germany. By the time he arrived the war was over and the Germans had
lost. Upon arrival at his village the villagers stoned him because he didn't win. "How dare you
come back. You did not win," the villagers yelled. This is the harsh retribution of the ego circuit.
The 'I' comes out of the contraction and the process of releasing the acids in the stomach to
break down the food. The more food in the belly, the more bile needed and the bigger the ego.
When there is no food, the acid sits there and gets expressed in other ways. When you don't
come through on the bargain it is like not giving food to the stomach. What is essential to the
tribe is that the belly gets filled.
Bringing it back to the ego center overall, nothing is a free ride with the ego. If you get a
present from a person with a defined ego, they expect something in return, no matter what they
tell you. Overall the ego is not subtle. It is like the acid in the stomach. The ego is concerned
with very basic biological needs like food and a strong immune system. It can't afford to be
subtle. The ego is here to assert its motor power to accomplish this.
Open egos feel a lot of pressure to fulfil the bargain. If they made a promise incorrectly they will
not have the will power to fulfil the promise, resulting in problems to do with the heart, stomach
and ultimately overall health. The defined ego can put others under pressure to prove
themselves, which can also result is problems.

Conclusion
The ego has a very specific biological association with each of the four gates: heart, stomach,
thymus, gall bladder. It's out of these four biological variations that the sum total the ego
possessiveness of 'I' is expressed. This particular 'I' is a tribal identity - it's the ego identity that
says, "I am the hunter (21). I am the fool (51). I am the egoist (26). I am the provider (40)."
We know that the throat center has only one gate for the tribe and community to express itself with the possessive "I have" or "I don't have" of the 45th gate. The 45 is a Primary Gate of
Action since the channel has a motor connected to a throat. It is the manifestation of the heart

in the world. To have heart is something very different from love - it is a sense of communal
concern. The needs of the tribe are dictated by the needs of these biological elements to keep
the heart beating.
The tribe screams, "My child is sick. Don't tell me about your health programs for the future."
Real caring and healing is nurtured in the tribe. This is the nature of its heart - to be concerned
about the well-being of the tribe, and the well-being of the tribe is a possessive well-being.
We have difficulty with the ego because our mind is not comfortable with it (notice the tribe has
no mental channels or gates). The ego is very blunt, almost crude from the perspective of the
mind. Nor is the ego an awareness center, another thing that can make it appear "unaware".
The ego is here to hold our societies together so we feed each other and support each other.
There is no ego in the knowing circuit, or logic and abstract collective circuit. Logic doesn't build
communities and the abstract is always running away from them. The individual only cares about
itself. Thus the ego process of feeding the tribe is not logical or collective. You do what you have
to do to feed your family and community, regardless of whether it makes sense mentally,
logically or ethically. The ego is here to care about humanity on the grass roots level.
The ego is a motor to make sure that our communities stay alive, that our bonds stay alive, that
our products are sold, that there childcare, and there is protection, etc. People with defined egos
need to feel secure and involved in these areas. People with undefined egos need to realize that
they will never feel as secure as someone with the defined ego in these areas. Both need to live
their strategy in order for it to unfold correctly.

Sacral Center

Defined: 70%
Undefined: 30%
Biological correlation: ovaries, testes
Type of Center: Motor
Function: vitality, sexuality, fertility, persistence
Defined: can respond with the Sacral voice, consistent access to vitality,
reliable access to energy and sexual identity, pure creative potential waiting to
put into action through response, life is about finding healthy ways to work of
sacral energy, needs to learn to be patient.
Open: does not need to build anything. does not fall under the pressure to be
as productive as others and simply enjoys life. works more as a specialist for
short periods of time, usually guiding others in how to work.
Not Self Strategy of defined sacral : doesn't wait to respond but initiates
and depletes their energy and gets stuck.
Not Self Strategy of open sacral : easily enslaved to overdoing things,
never knows when enough is enough, no fixed sexual identity, about
experiencing life and lifestyle; not about work, cannot sustain a consistent
workload, exhausted by other people's energy, gets carried away (sex, sleep,
food, work, anything).

Ovaries and Testes

Audio

In our trip through the glands of the endocrine system we now

come to the ovaries and testes, which are technically both
called gonads. Most people don't realize it, but both man and
women have gonads. The gonads are the main source of sex
hormones.
In males the gonads, or testes, are located in the scrotum.
They secrete hormones called androgens, the most important
of which is testosterone. These hormones tell a boy's body
when it's time to make the changes associated with puberty,
like penis and height growth, deepening voice, and growth in
facial and pubic hair. Working with hormones from the pituitary
gland, testosterone also regulates the production of sperm in
the testes.
A woman's gonads, the ovaries, are located in her pelvis. They
produce eggs and secrete the female hormones estrogen and
progesterone. Estrogen levels determine when a girl begins
puberty and also has an impact on breast growth and
accumulation of pubescent body fat around the hips and thighs
(often much to her horror!). Estrogen and progesterone are
also involved in the regulation the menstrual cycle and fertility.
Also, hormones related to our sexual organs play important
roles. Testosterone is responsible for muscular strength.
Female hormones allows us to feed our young and care for
them for a protracted time.

Fertility

The endocrine system

Because the sacral center is related directly to reproduction it

is literally the power to impregnate things with fertility. This
can be specifically about the fertilization that will result in
human life but most of the time this theme of procreation is
much broader than simply making babies.

For example the Channel of Mating (59-6) is a design of intimacy that of course can create a
baby, but if you have this channel it doesn't guarantee you'll spend your life making babies.
Having this channel actually has little bearing on how many children you will have. Nor does a
defined or undefined sacral center determine how much sex you have in life.
The fertility is a much broader theme that effects everything in life. It allows a new business
partnership to flourish, it gives the lively buzz to a diner party, or it simply provides an energy of
abundance to your day to day life.

The fertility of the sacral is the ability to create the energy you need to live. Without our ovaries
and testes we would not reproduce and die out. Without our sacral center we would stop
generating life force and we would also die.
Genetic Role
Sacral Center has a quality that it shares only with the g center, namely they are the two centers
that house the six role gates (can you remember them?).
In terms of the role of the Self, we have four gates in the g center - The three Sphinx gates that
bring out roles of direction (the 7th gate of a logical role of Leadership, the 13th gate of an
abstract role of being a Witness, the 1st gate of the individual role of being an Example), and the
one gate from the Cross of the Vessel of Love (the 10th gate of the role of Behavior in the
World). These are about how we move through the world in our body as unique vehicles
separate from each other.
In the Sacral Center we have the other two role gates, but these are not roles of the Self in the
world but rather they are genetic roles: the 59th gate generates who we bond and mate with,
and the 27th generates how we take care of that bonding. Thus the sacral center determines the
basic roles for the foundation of our communities, influencing the quality of our sexual
relationships and the nature of why and how we bond with others.
The Only Type Center
The sacral center is the only center in the whole chart that is tied to a Type. The generator and
the sacral center are one and the same. Since 70% of people have a defined sacral, you can
automatically deduce that 70% of the world are also generators. This is a special relationship. It
is further evidence of the importance of the sacral center. Most of us are here to generate life.
Most of us are only here to find power through response.
Audio:

Sacral Voice
The sacral center is similar to the throat in that it has it's own voice. The sacral voice is the "Uhuh", the "Mmmm", the "Arrgg!", and the "Hmm..". The sounds are very primal and don't give
much room for explanation. People are afraid sometimes to use them because they are so crude.
If your partner asks you if you love them and you respond from your sacral, "Uh-Uh" (no), it is
brutal. There is no beating around the bush. It is not
mental so there is no room for reason or
intellectualization. The mind can say all sorts of crap
like, "How can I love you if I don't know what love is."
But not the sacral voice. It is a trinary of yes or no and
there is no explanation. Often a generator will respond
with the sacral and then people will go, "But why?
Explain yourself. That doesn't make sense." If the
generator falls into the trap of trying to explain
themselves they will do it from the mind and who knows
what will come out. It won't be the sacral truth.
Sometimes there is no response, either with the sacral
voice or otherwise. This is because the sacral is not
ready. It is simply a time to wait.
Energy Vortex
If you look at the gates in the wheel you can see that
the sacral gates form a loose triangle. This is an energy
vortex. If you could really see the nature of the sacral
center you would see a vortex field of energy that forms
a spiral.
Within the center you also have a powerful merging of energies within the circuits. So you have
the connection between the 9 and the 5, and you have the connection between the 29 and the
42, and the direct connection between the 14 and the 3. There's also a movement across
between the 27 and the 59, and the 34 comes in too.
This creates a powerful vortex of energy the literally vibrates from the moment a generator is
born until their last breath.
Likewise, this is the vortex that all non-generators are surrounded by and conditioned to be. It is
a deep pull and if they do not live their strategy they will get into situations where the energy
burns them up. It is like putting rocket fuel into a moped. It goes really fast, but eventually the
cylinder (throat center) burns out.
Conclusion
The sacral center can't be discussed without tying it in to the generator. It is a generator world
because so many people have a defined sacral center. The sacral is similar to the throat in that it
has it's own voice.
The Sacral Center is a center of availability. Each gate carries a theme of availability except for
the 34th Gate, which is the gate that is busy sampling what the other sacral gates are available
to. Each of the 8 gates responds to a basic need of the homo-sapiens for survival and evolution.
It starts with us being available to pro-creation and nurturing (59th and 27th gates) and goes
out from the tribe into the collective via the format gates and the tantric gates.

Our response is our selectivity. It is an economical quality. It doesn'tt have us squander any
energy, except for what we have availability and capacity to respond to. The sacral is powerful.
Enough said.

Root Center
Defined: 68%
Undefined: 32%
Biological correlation: adrenaline gland
Type of Center: motor, pressure
Function: pressure, drive, stress, kundalini
Defined: is here to have a consistent internal way of processing
pressure. is not here to let others pressure them into anything.
Open: can allow themselves to be conditioned by other
people's pressure but need to be very careful that they follow
their strategy to get the correct pressure.
Not Self Strategy of defined root : is hard on others who
can't deal with stress, puts others under unnecessary stress.
Not Self Strategy of open root : lets stress rule their life,
either by being addicted to the adrenaline rush or by constantly
shying away from it and working hard to get rid of it (usually in
a state of stress!).

Audio

Adrenal Gland
The adrenal, or suprarenal, gland is paired with one gland located
near the upper portion of each kidney. Each gland is divided into an
outer cortex and an inner medulla. The cortex and medulla of the
adrenal gland, like the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary,
develop from different embryonic tissues and secrete different
hormones. The adrenal cortex is essential to
life, but the medulla may be removed with no
life-threatening effects (that we know of).
The outer part, the adrenal cortex, produces
several steroid hormones that can be
categorized into three classes:
mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and sex
hormones.
The first maintain electrolyte balance, i.e. salt
and water levels in the body (this is why you
pee your pants when scared!).
The second produce a long-term, slow
response to stress by raising blood glucose
levels through the breakdown of fats and

proteins; they also suppress the immune response and inhibit the inflammatory response.
Basically, glucocorticoids regulate the body's response to stress, metabolism, and the immune
system.

"Aarrr!!"
Finally, the sex hormones, well, they increase your chances of having sex! These hormones are
secreted by the innermost region in both sexes by the adrenal cortex, but their effect is usually
masked by the hormones from the testes and ovaries. In females, the masculinization effect of
androgen secretion may become evident after menopause, when estrogen levels from the
ovaries decrease.
The inner part, the adrenal medulla, produces catecholamines, such as the well known
adrenaline (a.k.a. epinephrine). Adrenaline increases blood pressure and heart rate when the
body experiences stress.
Fight or Flight
Stimulation of the cortex by the sympathetic nervous system causes release of hormones into
the blood to initiate the "fight or flight" response. This is most familiar aspect of the adrenal
glands. Imagine you are walking in the forest and a large bear pops out from behind a bush.
Your eyes perceive the image of the bear; your brain integrates the information and decodes the
image BEAR! Immediately your sympathetic nervous system, in response to the information that
a B-BEAR!! is standing in front of you sends a message to the adrenal medulla; the adrenal
medulla releases adrenaline into the blood. This hormone has a number of target organs. It
causes your gut musculature to stop peristalsis; your pupils to dilate; your circulatory system to
start sending plenty of oxygenated blood to your limbs. Thus, when you turn and run as fast as
you can away from that B-B-BEAR!!! you are putting maximum effort into the escape. (Good
luck!)
This process is very useful in short bursts to remove you from immediate danger. But increased
levels of stress over long periods of time can be harmful because of the extra work this
heightened state puts on the body.

Remember the Pressure Sandwich?

In the section on the head center we talk about mental pressure. Now we are looking at the
other side: physical pressure. This is yet another duality of being alive. The human body is
where the duality comes to meet. In this case the duality is between two pressures, and that's
what keeps us moving along. This pressure sandwich is a stress-anxiety sandwich, stress from
below and anxiety from above.

We are never free of these two centers of pressure, but don't forget we are designed to be
between them. The other thing to notice is that it is designed to pass. As you can see in the
mechanic of the adrenal glands the pressure is not designed to constantly be there. Otherwise
we would simply burn out.
This means it's just passing through, both from above and below. Stress is part of us and it is
very useful to push us to the next stage, but it is not something that belongs to us technically it's just a temporary state.
To understand this is very important. It means that all stress in your life will never last forever. It
is not designed to. The person with the open root center can easily forget this. And then they
stress themselves out trying to get rid of the stress! The mantra of the open root is "Are you in a
hurry to be free of the stress?"
The open root center thinks that if they don't do something to get rid of it then it will never
leave. Instead they should remain aware of the pressure and even use positively, but never let it
control them. And even if you have a defined you, if you are not living your strategy you are
always taking on stress that is not right for you.
If you don't interfere with it, it isn't going to disturb you. Stress and anxiety are not bad. They
are essential fuels for our whole living process. The things we don't like the most - fear, stress,
pain - this is what makes us human. It's what drives our consciousness and body. The mental
anxiety is not bad nor is it good, it's both - always. It's just another this and that, but it's a fuel
for awareness.
Likewise, stress is not good or bad, it is simply a pressure. That pressure can make you jump to
it when needed or it can stop you from ever feeling relaxed. The difference is in how we are
interact with it. If you don't hold onto it ("I'm so stressed out, I need to finish this report or the
world will end..." vs. "I'm following my strategy and that's that") then it has a very useful place
in our lives.

The Caffeine of Life

The Root Centrex is a big time motor with one and only purpose: to
pump out stress (the adrenaline gland literally produces stress
hormones). And these get pumped up to three places: Spleen, Sacral,
and Solar Plexus. We can easily see the correlation with the three
types of hormones discussed above:
mineralocorticoids (water regulation - solar plex)
glucocorticoids (immune system - spleen)
sex hormones (kundalini - sacral)

station for these processes. And they're all fueled with stress energy. way.
This is where the juice is for our health (spleen), our sex (sacral) and
our emotions (stored in our body's water). The root center is like
caffeine. It can get you going in the morning, but it can also be
addictive and destabilizing if abused.
Format Energies
The format energies are the three channels connecting the root to the sacral.
They are very powerful. The mere fact that they are connecting to motors makes
this easy to see. Any time there is a format channel in a person's chart, that
energy will govern the frequency that person has. Even if you see a gate
activated in the format structure, you know that this aspect is going to strongly
affect the energy of the whole being.
These three different energy formats represent the three different ways in which
we operate in the world as energy systems.

Every gate out of the Root Centrex can be a place for depression, just like one of the major side
effects of stress is depression. This is especially true for the format energies, the three channels
going from the root to the sacral. These are three archetypes of potential depression. This is a
physical phenomena, so the depression is deeply rooted in the body (lethargy, low sex drive,
body weight, sickness), although of course it effects the mind too.
Therefore, the formats are the three different ways in which stress and the resulting depression
operates.

Both pressure centers (head, root) work the same way: they have two collective gates and one
individual gate that connects them to another center. The two pressure centers are linked to
each other through the column that passes through the centrex of the body. Therefore, any
activation in the formats has a connection to the mental process. This is partly why depression
can happen so easily.
Live the Pressure Correctly
The trick with the root center is to understand what kinds of pressures you are built to deal with.
The gates and channels defined in a root center will determine the pressure themes. They can be
a positive aspect of your life or the cause of stress and depression.
For example, somebody with the 53rd gate is under great pressure to start things. The stress in
their life revolves around what they start, don't start, how it is started etc. These people need
variety, they need to feel like they are starting things that lead to maturation. ANd if that doesn't
happen because they can't start anything or it starts wrong, then they can get depressed. Of
course the only way they will start anything correctly is by living their strategy.
All the open channels and gates (and even the open center) is a place where the stress of the
world can get to you. If you don;t live your strategy you will attempt to deal with the stress in
unhealthy ways. You might try to get it over and done with (in a stressful way). You might drug
yourself up with coffee to keep up, or drug yourself down with alcohol to artificially reduce the
feeling of stress. There are many ways that aren't healthy. There is nothing wrong with the
coffee or alcohol, but it needs to be in accordance with the strategy.
Conclusion
The root center is very much about speed. Of course your type, authority and definition plays a
large part in how fast you move. A triple split emotional projector should work slower than a
single definition splenic manifestor. But the root center will have an impact on how much
pressure they are under to get something done.
If you have a defined root center then the pressure is consistent and thus your speed at getting
things done will be more consistent. If you have an open root center then the pressure is
inconsistent and therefore you won't always feel the same pressure to do something.
Of course life is full of different levels of external pressure. The pressure to change a baby's
diapers is different than the pressure to get a new pair of shoes. But internally, the defined root
center will have a less erratic pressure field. The open root center in general will feel under more

pressure, especially if they are not aware of the ability for the open root to take on the pressure
conditioning from others.
In general, the defined root is designed to deal with more pressure than the undefined root. But
in the end it always comes down to living your strategy, which will always give the right amount
of pressure for your design.

Splenic Center
Defined: 53%
Undefined: 47%
Biological correlation: lymphatic system, spleen, B-Cells
Type of Center: awareness
Function: body consciousness, intuition, instinct, taste,
survival, fears about survival that keep us healthy.
Defined: fixed way of body consciousness to stay healthy, can
be spontaneous, can trust gut feeling, gives sense of well-being
(feel-good) to others, fixed way of processing fear, leads to a
sense of security. best treated with allopathic medicine
(conventional western medicine).
Open: open to unspecific fears that can result in not feeling
good, can become addicted to the feel good that others may
bring; the fear is never theirs - it comes from outside.
Spontaneity can kill them, must pay attention to health, must
give the immune system a chance to learn, can be a wonderful
diagnosis tool because it picks up on disease patterns of others,
as long as it learns not to hold on to them (makes a great doctor
but a terrible nurse). best treated with alternative (non
chemical) medicine.
Not Self Strategy of defined spleen : ignore their instincts
in the moment, let their mind or other people's emotions
overwhelm their instincts.
Not Self Strategy of open spleen : are you still holding on to
things that are not good for you? Can become dependent on
relationships or habits to get the feel good splenic connection.

The Body's First Line of Defense

The elements of the immune system, called Lymphatics, are
positioned throughout the body as organs, ducts, vessels and
nodes (interestingly, the only place they aren't found is in the
central nervous system, which relates to the solar plexus). 28%
of all the cells in the body are lymphatic!

Lymphatic vessels form

a circulatory system that
operates in close
partnership with blood
circulation.

The major parts of the lymphatic system are the bone marrow,
spleen, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and the tonsils. Other
organs, including the heart, lungs, intestines, liver, and skin
also contain lymphatic tissue.
The lymphatic system circulates a watery clear fluid called
lymph. This fluid distributes immune cells through the body. The
word "lymph" in Greek means a pure, clear stream - an
appropriate description considering its appearance and purpose.
While the lymph nodes filter the lymph, the spleen, at the upper
left of the abdomen, filters blood. Together they create a
constant screening network that few harmful foreign microbes
can escape.
Killer Cells
The two major classes of lymphatic immune cells are B cells
which grow to maturity in the bone marrow, and T cells which
mature in the thymus (see the 26th gate in the ego section for
info on the thymus and T cells).
B cells create constantly evolving antibodies to fight against the
onslaught of external threats. The process is one of ongoing
mutation and requires extreme vigilance by the immune
system.

Organs and tissues of the

immune system dot the
body in a protective
network.

These antibodies circulate in the blood and lymph streams, attaching to foreign antigens and
thus marking them for destruction by other immune cells, especially the deadly T-cells.
The Health Center - working 24/7
The splenic center is what literally keeps us from being eaten up by the millions of harmful
bacteria, fungus, and microbes floating around. The spleen is the body's washing machine and
watch dog combined.
The effectiveness of keeping harmful microbes out is based on how aware the spleen can
remain. If it misses a second, it opens the door for millions of harmful elements to take hold of
the body. That is why the spleen is an existential awareness - awareness in the now.
It is crucial for a person with splenic authority to trust their instincts in the now; it is the
healthiest thing they could do. In fact, it is the only thing that keeps them alive. When a splenic
person ignores their instincts (usually by listening to the mind or emotions) they are telling their
spleen to stop doing it's job.
What is healthy for us may not make sense
intellectually or can cause emotional
conflict. Take for example an animal right
activist whose instincts tell them to start eating meat. Do they trust
their instincts or stick to what they think and feel is right? If they
have splenic authority and want to remain healthy the answer is a big
fat steak, medium rare!

B cells become
plasma cells, which
produce antibodies
when a foreign
antigen triggers the
immune response.

Splenic authority needs to be honored no matter what! If you are

splenic you need to accept that right now. And now. And now, and
now...

Fear
Every gate in the spleen is associated with a specific fear. A defined spleen is attuned to all of
the fears of each splenic gate, with the gates of the defined channel(s) being the most
dominant. Also, all the fears are basically a fear of not surviving.

Defined/Undefined
A person with a defined splenic center is not healthier than an undefined splenic center. As we
have seen with the other centers, your health can be impacted by many things and in many
areas, regardless of definition. It is all about following strategy and authority.
Defined or not, the spleen keeps all the other centers healthy and free of harmful external
elements. If it is undefined it might do it less regularly, but it will still do it as much as you need.
Of course, living your strategy is the deciding factor.
What can happen to somebody with an undefined spleen is that they might come into contact
with a defined spleen and all of a sudden feel a little sick. The undefined spleen's washing
machine gets turned on and the body starts it's cleansing process, which initially might release
the dirt from the cells into the lymphatic system, much like dirt from clothes going into the
water.
Likewise, the undefined spleen might pick up the aspects of the other person that are not
healthy, which could also make them mirror the symptoms. The open spleen can be wise in this
way.

Design of Forms

Two Healers - Both Splenicly Aware

All living organisms beyond the

In terms of the splenic awareness, lets look at it through
single cell have a splenic
examples of two kinds of healers.
awareness (no ajna or solar
plexus)
First are the open spleen people who instinctually channel
what is wrong with you by taking it in themselves. They
are intuitive healers who use their open spleen to take in
illness and learn about it.
They often have a large repertoire of healing modes
depending on the need. Holistic healing works in this way.
This is like a person with an open ajna being able to read
your mind or take in many different ways of thinking.
The second type is the defined spleen. They also use their
instincts but instead of being open to your illness, their
style is to push their health onto you. As long as they are
healthy this works.
Traditional western medicine works in this defined spleen
way but it is not limited to this. A holistic healer with a
defined spleen could channel their own health into the
other person. How they do that practically varies greatly.
This is similar to the defined ego that boosts other
people's ego.
On the patient side, open spleen people can use
homeopathic and holistic forms of medicine more
effectively because of their sensitivity. Defined spleens
might need something more powerful.
If you have a defined spleen, you have a strong immune
system that's working, provided you live your strategy.
The moment that illness really comes to the surface, your
immune system is already overloaded. These are people

who carry things around inside of them for a long time before it comes to the surface. And when
it does it hits hard.
Also, the child with the open spleen needs more time to recover from minor colds etc if they are
to be become healthy adults. Children with defined spleens can get very ill quickly or run very
high temperatures, scaring the hell out of their parents. Of course, they recover quicker too.

Hooked on Feeling Good

If you've got an undefined splenic system you don't have an internal feel good mechanism that
is consistent. Since the 'feel-good' hormones are pumped by the defined spleen, there's this
sense of not quite feeling right when the spleen is not activated. The lymph fluid isn't draining
consistently and thus you feel more prone to threats. There are many fears connected to the
spleen because of this instinctual awareness of ill health possibilities.
With the open spleen, because you don't feel good you're a sucker for anybody that's going to
hook up your splenic system. Undefined splenic people should not get lost in the need to have
their spleen connected, despite the temptations. That knee-jerk need for the feel-good is
dangerous unless they're really aware.
Who you take in in your life is dependent on where your authority is, not dependent on how you
connect mechanically to someone. In order to accept somebody in your life there is a place of
authority within you that says that this is correct or not - that's the criterion - not simply getting
the definition. For the open spleen there will be a mechanical attraction to the defined spleen
regardless of whether that person is good for you. Living your strategy will guide the mechanics,
not the other way around.

Three Awareness Centers

The spleen (awareness in
the now) can be
overpowered by the mind
(awareness over all time).
The mind in turn can be
overpowered by the solar
plexus (awareness in a
wave)

Solar Plexus Center

Defined: 50%
Undefined: 50%
Biological correlation: kidney, prostate, pancreas, complex
neuron network of the solar plexus, nervous system, lungs
Type of Center: motor, awareness
Function: seeing our fears through nervousness, experiencing
the gamut of emotions: moods, desires, sensitivity.
Defined: no truth in the now, spontaneity can kill you, clarity
comes over time, waiting out the wave is always the inner
authority, the emotional wave is part of your life you can never
get rid of it. Depth and perspective as qualities of emotional
wisdom.
Open: avoids conflict, dont rock the boat, tries to lead a
secret life, takes in lots of emotions until it bursts, empathic,
avoids all emotional decisions, emotions always are conditioned
by its surroundings, doesnt identify with the emotions, can be a
loose cannon, lies to itself about its secret life, seeks the high
end of the wave and avoids the low.
Defined Not Self Strategy: try to live in the moment and
ignore their emotions over time, let their mind or other people's
emotions overwhelm their own emotions.
Undefined Not Self Strategy: Are you still doing whatever it
takes to avoid truth and confrontation?

Second Brain
There is a vast network of nerves surrounding the
esophagus, stomach and intestines of such complexity
that it is called the "second brain." It's real name is the

enteric nervous system and it has more neurotransmitters than anywhere else in the entire

Central Nervous System

nervous system.
Very little is know about this area, but what was once dismissed as a simple collection of relay
ganglia, scientists now recognize it as independent of the brain proper--i.e., having a mind of its
own.
The enteric brain expresses itself nonverbally in visible "gut reactions." The "full" feeling of
satisfaction, the "sick" feeling of nausea, the urge to vomit, and abdominal pain. It is the central
hub of the solar plexus center around which the other solar plexus elements (kidney, prostate
etc) are coordinated.
Central Nervous System
The central nervous system runs through the brain, spinal cord, and an enormous network of
nerves throughout the body, especially right under the skin. It's the control center for the entire
body. The body uses information it receives from nerves to coordinate all actions and reactions.
The nervous system is made up of thin threads of nerve cells, called neurons, that carry
messages back and forth, similar to telephone wires. Humans have about 100 billion neurons in
their brain alone.
Sensory nerves send messages to the brain through the spinal cord in the backbone, motor
nerves carry messages from the brain to the muscles and glands.
When a neuron is stimulated -- by heat, cold, touch, sound vibrations or some other message -it generates an electrical pulse that travels the full length of the neuron. When it gets to the end
of finger-like points at the end of the neuron, the electrical pulse triggers the release of
chemicals that carry the pulse to the next cell. And so on and so on and so on.

The chemical trigger is one of the reasons why the solar

plexus is such a biochemical entity, going up and down in
it's wave, not for any particular reason but merely due to
the body's chemicals.

Prostate
Located in the male pelvis the prostate belongs to the
endocrine system. It has thousands of tiny fluid-producing
glands that secrete prostatic fluid, the main component of
semen.

Just like prostatic fluid carries the sperm cells in semen, the
solar plexus envelops the fertility of the sacral center. If you
are an emotionally defined generator, you respond with the
sacral center but it has to be carried along by the emotional
process. The response and emotional experience flow
together.

mutation the that solar plexus is undergoing in the 55th
gate via the amino acid Histidine. Autism in children is also
another indication of this mutation.
Pancreas
The pancreas produces enzymes that break down food and
secretes hormones that affect carbohydrate metabolism.
The emotional process is very connected to our eating.
When not following your strategy this can create stomach
problems and eating disorders
Kidney and Lung
The kidneys and lung both cleanse the body. The kidneys
cleanse the blood, turning impurities into urine. The lungs
take in clean oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. One of the
best ways to eradicate negative emotions is through correct
breathing.

Biology and Emotions

The basic task of the solar plexus to help detoxify the body with its motor capacity. It moves
everything along so that is is processed correctly and the waste is passed outside the body. The
solar plexus processes and discards three main elements:
solid mater via intestines (channel 41-30)
fluid via kidneys (channel 19-49)
gases via the lungs (39-55)

The word emotion (e-motion) means to move things forward so they can be eliminated in the
end. If the motor for some reason is not allowed to run this way it no longer gets things out and
the waste builds up in the body.
A defined solar plexus center processes these elements more regularly than an undefined solar
plexus. The open solar plexus might not always have access to the motor's energy, but if they
live their strategy they will be able to process it eventually.
This concept of the emotions as a forward moving motor is important. If you are not able to let
go of the past due to some emotional block, the solar plexus motor can not do it's job correctly.
Things get blocked and your system becomes toxic.
If a person, regardless of solar plexus definition, stores or
remains focused on old anger, grief, shame, feelings of guilt etc.
over a long time then the emotion does not move forward but
rather inward (in-moting). If they don't spit out, breathe out,
defecate, pee, sweat, or release the negative emotions via tears
then they do not allow the emotions to be moved forward in
their process. This damages the organs involved and results in
illness such as asthma, stomach ulcers, stones in the kidneys,
gas in the guts and so on.
An emotionally defined person needs to process their own
emotions correctly, by neither venting them too quickly or
keeping them in too long. A person with an undefined solar
plexus needs to be aware of the emotions around them so that
they don't get trapped in an emotional process that is not theirs.
Half the population on earth has a defined solar plexus and goes
up and down in an emotional wave. The other half of the world,
with their open solar plexus, simply amplify this wave because
they don't understand the mechanics! And they are driven
blindly by these forces.
The open solar plexus people usually end up doing two general
things:
1. They do whatever they can to avoid the emotional wave. This means not speaking what they
really think or avoiding dealing with a situation that could cause an emotional reaction. It leads
to all sorts of compromise, miscommunication and eventually leads to even more emotional
problems. As we saw above, to avoid emotions can cause blockage of the body.
2. They amplify the emotional wave from the people around them. This results in emotional
outbursts and issues. But the emotions aren't theirs. It is like taking somebody else's medicine.
Not a good idea.
Usually the open emotional people bounce between these two extremes. The clear open solar
plexus person is able to feel the emotions within them and be able to see who is giving them
those emotions. They do not run away from the emotions, nor do they let the emotions push
them into making decisions or saying things. They simply watch and share what the other
person is feeling, giving them the time and space to ride through the whole wave. This is
compassion.
The defined solar plexus people tend to live in a world of shame and blame. They are ashamed
of their emotional outbursts and they blame others for their emotions. "It's your fault I'm sad."
When ashamed, they try to hold their emotions in and stifle the feelings, resulting in health
issues. The emotions usually come out anyway but in a more distorted and destructive way.

Or the defined solar plexus person acts immediately on the first feeling that hits them. This
spontaneous action creates emotional chaos when the feeling moves into another point in the
wave. If they are happy they marry you, if they are sad they diverse you.

A Wave
The emotional center goes up and down in a biochemical wave. This wave can be a few seconds
long or several years. A defined solar plexus will have millions of waves intertwined. Each circuit
has a distinct wave style. The three streams are the tribal, individual and collective, with the
keynotes Need/Passion/Desire respectively. Furthermore, each channel has minor emotional
keynotes:
Tribal:
59/6 IDLE/STALL
19/49 NEED
49/37 RACHET/SNAP
Individual:
12/22 PASSION
55/39 SPIKE/LOCK
Collective:
30/36 DESIRE
30/36 CRASH/EXPLODE

The (49/37) is the ratchet/snap wave. Ratcheting is two steps forward and one step back. Like a
car stuck in snow or ditch, rocking back and forth to build momentum to get out of the spot. If
you say something they feel is insensitive you may not get a reaction in the moment. It takes
time to build, to ratchet up to a point of snapping. They take it in and sit with it but inside it is
building up, and then with no real event of consequence, maybe a slight transgression or look,
they snap. Their emotions explode.
The 59/6, although tribal, is an exception. It works as an idle/stall stall energy. In this case the
crash is a stall. For example, since this is the channel of intimacy, stalling creates the pleasure of
orgasm. It is the reopening and the returning on of the motor that floods the being with pleasure
after a slow build up to climax. This channel is an exception becuase the 6th gate actually
embodies all three of the other wave energies.
Individual
The individual (55/22) passion is vastly different from need. Need is need in the basic sense. If
you want to see what human being really need in this life then go to the source of need (19) and
youll see the need for proper resources, shelter, god, food, and partner is all there. If you do not
have this it immediately creates problems in the tribe.
But passion is not about need. Passion is rubbing two sticks together and building a fire thats so
hot, it cracks the rocks underneath. Passion does not burn like an immediate fire like desire.
Passion often starts very cool. This is a channel of emoting and putting the emotion out. The 3955 is born theatrics like Marlon Brando. It is about getting the emotions out.

The wave of the individual is spike/lock. It is difficult to read the emotional quality of the
individual. Almost all are operating in a lock state. The nature of where that lock is goes back to
the very beginning of their process in this life. Individuals dont really wave, they spike and when
they spike, they lock.
If a 39-55 child has a traumatic experience when they are young they can end up with a locked
frequency at a certain level and may stay slightly below or above this level that is considered a
norm and it is very hard to read them.
The passion and its connection to the lock are at the very mystery of romantic love. The passion
can build to such a point that one is locked into that passion. This is where you have the
tradition of unrequited love. You spend a lifetime enthralled and adoring somebody you can
never have and yet not feeling unfulfilled.
When you are dealing with individuality and mutation, there is a deep potential for depression.
This is a deeply creative process leading up to the 12th gate. It is possible for individuals to be
locked into deep spikes and never recover. There are many examples of creative beings who get
locked into deep melancholies and depressions.

Collective
Desire (30/36) is not passion and doesnt have a chance to grow. Desire must never be confused
with need. It is one of the mysteries of the human experiential way that beneath the motor
there is no consciousness. It is just a motor and part of the magnificence of the choicelessness
of being.
The collective way shows us that we have no choice but to go from inexperience to experience,
driven by desire. There is no choice at all. What is so dynamic in the nature of desire is that this
is the crash and explode wave. There is nothing like the explosion at the end of a crash wave.
Not all of this has to be so dramatic. Many emotional beings regardless of their level of
awareness begin to recognize the impact of their emotional field one way or the other. Many of
these beings feel guilty for being emotional. The solar plexus center is one of the great binaries.
It has horror and the absolute of the pleasure that it can bring. Unfortunately there is so much
not-self emotional, no truth in the now blundering on the planet and we all have to live with the
aftermath of it.
The process of desire is never about satisfaction. It can never be satisfied. Satisfaction is logical.
Its in the 18-58. You can never be satisfied if you are ruled by desire. It can only bring you
more desire. Without it we would still be hunter/gathers. The desire drives us forward at a great
pace.
Emotional Mastery
There is no way to master your emotional system.
It is much more powerful then you are. You cant
make it do what you want. It is fun to look at all
this stuff and understand how it works. This
doesnt mean you can change it. The point is to be
clear, both for defined (clear of their own
emotions) and undefined (clear of the emotions of
others).

c Stanton

Those that have gone through a seven year deconditioning process have a level of smoothness in
the vibration of the wave they put out into the
consciousness field. An open emotional being
encountering this wave recognizes this is a wave
that doesnt have to be avoided. It doesnt trigger
that. It is where every emotional being has a right

to be.
Emotional beings are here to know the pain and pleasure of need, passion and desire. To be
correct when you ratchet, snap, spike, lock, crash and explode. Then its not just right for the
individual, but for all those that have to deal with that being. Emotional beings are told in any
analysis of their design to only trust what you feel. It is important to recognize that the awake
emotional being transforms the planet we live on and changes the frequency.
Half the generators are emotional. This is the emotionalization of frustration. It is a thick soup
that we can barely get through. All you can do is follow your line of geometry and see where it
takes you. Its one by one. One emotional person at a time coming to grips with what it means
to be an emotional being.

This is an enormous transformation that is not selfish because every emotional being that
transforms themselves transforms a piece of the environment. Anyone that comes into their aura
is affected. All it takes is a slow acceptance of the time it takes for de-conditioning.
It's Time
Emotional beings have a problem with time. They fear they are
going to miss something. Its not that they are thinking this; its
the pressure they feel from the motor. It wants to release. The
magic for anyone that is emotional is if you are acting correctly,
slowly but surely your emotional system will begin to get it. It begins to see the advantages.
Emotional beings have a different type of potential awareness then anyone else because of the
nature of the frequency. A splenic being grasps everything in the moment. A mental being is
stuck with everything forever. The emotional person goes through the wave process. The focus
remains the same, but the focus goes through a complete spectrum and nobody grasps
circumstances and the other better than an emotional being. It is what they are made for if they
wait.
Communication and Awareness
The emotional system has the ability to communicate on a deep level. We are not at that point
of solar plexus development just yet. We feel emotions from others but it is still a fuzzy
communication. The rave children who will be born after and around the year 2027 will literally
be able to communicate through the solar plexus.
Any emotional being moving through the spectrum with the same focus can grasp things at a
profound level that may not be able to be articulated as a concept (yet). But that understanding
is still powerful. They don't sense the spontaneity of a splenic hunch, which can also be gone in
an instant. It is a depth of feeling unlike any other quality that human beings can have. It is
profound clarity.
The magic of clarity is the joke. Clarity is not the
same as the truth and clarity can never be 100%. It
can only be 99% clear. The magic of emotional
awareness and the potential of spirit consciousness is
to understand that there is a potential at any
moment for the game to change entirely. With the
emotional process you can't be 100% sure of
anything since the wave is a moving energy.
When an emotionally defined person to understands
this and lives it, they are truly powerful, deep
beings. The people with open solar plexus can
partake in that depth if they also understand the emotional mechanic and where it is coming
from.

Not Self Open Centers

Audio

All centers, defined or not defined, have not self strategies that are the result of us not
understanding the mechanics.
A person with with splenic authority has a defined spleen and is designed to be spontaneous.
Their not self, however, is always punishing themselves for their inability to make plans in the
future, all the while ignoring their instincts in the now.
The open centers have very powerful not self energies that can destabilize us and make us
unhappy. This audio will cover the not self elements of open centers, focusing on the specific
insecurities of each open center.
Below you can see the questions to ask yourself. They address the core issues that the not self
open centers face. A good exercise is to try living the extremes of these to see how it effects
you.
For example, if you have an open solar plexus, watch what happens when you avoid all truth and
confrontation. Then try the other way: watch what happens when you face all truth and
confrontation. It helps to find the balance and dispel fears.

An example of splenic authority:

Questions for Your Undefined Centers

Open Head Center

Are you still trying to answer everybody elses questions?
Open Ajna Center
Are you still trying to convince everyone that youre certain?
Open Throat Center
Are you still trying to attract attention?

Do you still have something to prove? (i.e. are you smart
enough, successful, sexy, etc.)
