The Channel of Exploration

Gate 34 (Power) sits in the Sacral Center with the hexagram name The Power of the Great. It is a potent and impressive source of energy that empowers individuation. Two qualities distinguish it from the other eight gates in the Sacral: its asexuality and the unavailability of its power to others. Though admired and even sought after, your energy is simply not available to others. It must remain pure in its power and always accessible to you as you seek to be independent and unique, act on your convictions, and triumph, which means to survive as yourself.

Gate 10 (Behavior of the Self) sits in the G Center. it as the most complex gate in the G Center and the gate of the love of oneself. Gate 10 initiates behaviors as roles from deep inside that lead us to accept, honor, and love ourselves. Gate 34 provides the sustaining power or inner strength to stand by the convictions that form our belief in and acceptance of ourselves.

As the creative channel for the Centering Circuit, Channel 34-10 exerts its influence over all other circuitry in the design. this as one of the most powerful channels in the BodyGraph. Your self-empowerment affects every aspect of your design. Your conviction to love yourself influences all your interactions. Your behaviors set the tone for how you operate in every circuit.

Without the Spleen's direct intuitive guidance (through Gate 57), The teachings warns that this relentless power to act may become an unhealthy, meddlesome, and misdirected energy. You may feel lost in your own momentum, expending energy that serves no one.

a specific not-self expression of this channel: "I'm going to be like this whether you like it or not. You can be any way you please, just don't interfere with me and my way." This rigid and unsatisfying not-self expression sounds selfish and self-centered. The guidance and timing of your Sacral's responses are what make it possible to follow convictions in satisfying ways and without guilt.

Your enveloping Generator aura combined with the Channel of Exploration can attract a great deal of attention. Whether or not this attention is positive, with its true potential for empowerment and mutation, is completely dependent on your willingness to patiently attune to your responses.

As an electromagnetic definition between two people, the channel brings an Individual flavor to relationships, which can lead to breaking of old molds or traditions and a quest to explore new territory. The Channel of Exploration describes the kind of world Individuals would most like to be a part of, where everybody is able to live their uniqueness without dealing with resistance and interference from others.

If people with strong Collective or Tribal ties are joined together by this connection but do not understand the power of response, their relationship could provide some unexpected challenges. The Collective and Tribal sides want conformity and connection. Channel 34-10 wants independence and self-focus.
