Channel 28-38 · Struggle

A channel is a bridge between two gates, and defining one wires two centers together. Here's the keynote for Channel 28-38 · Struggle and the structure behind it.

Channel 28-38, Struggle, links gate 28, Risk & meaning, in the Spleen with gate 38, The worthy fight, in the Root. The tradition reads this pairing as a seeker of meaning through effort: life feels full when there is something to fight for, and a little empty when everything comes too easily. The Spleen's instinct here answers the question of whether it is worth it; the Root's persistence carries what was started to the end. It usually shows in the tasks you choose: the difficult attracts you when there is meaning in it, and the easy but hollow repels. The system suggests saving this persistence for your own meanings rather than other people's battles. What are you fighting for right now, and is the fight yours?
