Gate 64 · Confusion & images
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 64 · Confusion & images and where it sits in the bodygraph.
Gate 64 lives in the Head centre and, together with gate 47, forms the channel of abstraction: the pressure to make sense of the past meets a mind that builds a picture out of images. The tradition is frank about this theme's starting state, calling it confusion: a kaleidoscope of memories, faces and scenes turns before the inner eye with no obvious order. And it turns the verdict around at once: this is the first phase of thinking rather than a malfunction, and the images are supposed to spin before they settle. In the personality the theme shows as conscious stretches of fog in the head; in the design it is background work of memory running without the will's involvement. Clarity arrives on its own, and rarely on schedule. Do you notice how a story that circled in your head for weeks one day simply falls into place?
