Gate 44 · Patterns & instinct
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 44 · Patterns & instinct and where it sits in the bodygraph.
Gate 44 lives in the Spleen centre and, together with gate 26, forms the channel of transmission: instinctive memory meets the ability to carry it to others. The tradition reads this theme as a nose for patterns: the capacity to recognise in an instant how something usually unfolds, in a person, in a group, in your own history. In the personality it shows as conscious reading of people and a feel for other people's talents; in the design it is a bodily sense of having seen this before that fires at first meeting. The system suggests treating such signals as data to check rather than a finished verdict: instinct shows a familiar outline, and the person in front of you is always more than the outline. Which repeating storylines does your instinct recognise fastest?
