Gate 47 · Making sense
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 47 · Making sense and where it sits in the bodygraph.
In the bodygraph, gate 47 sits in the Ajna and, together with gate 64, forms the channel of abstraction: a stream of images from the past searches for meaning. The tradition is frank about this theme being demanding: the mind here tends to chew over what has been lived, and the sorting can feel heavy. What matters is how the system turns that around: making sense is a way of working rather than a breakdown, and the picture really does come together, later than you want it to and often suddenly, from one detail. In the personality this shows as conscious questions about what it all was for; in the design it is background inner work running on its own. The pressure to find meaning is no command to answer immediately. What that you lived through has already settled into a picture, though it once looked disconnected?
