The Channel of Surrender

Gate 44, the Gate of Alertness, remembers patterns for living that have successfully provided for material needs. This is integral to survival intelligence: consistently trustworthy, instinctually alert in every moment, with spontaneous relationship recognition. Gate 44 controls the way Gate 26 acts in terms of selling, defending, and fighting for the Tribe. This is where Tribal propaganda is found.

What you remember or transmit shapes the Tribe's material orientation, strengthens the Tribe's ego presence and power, and allays fears by remembering successful patterns. The Spleen is not a motor; you look to the Heart Center's will to fulfill whatever transformation you instinctively know needs to become reality.

Gate 26 is where memory is manipulated. The past is selectively remembered, used to persuade or distract from fears. The line between truth and lie blurs. Potential and possibility become reality and are sold to the public. You are a natural salesperson expected to exaggerate, with innate ability to manipulate memory and ego energy designed to withstand rejection.

The bargain shifts on the left side of the Ego Circuit. Where Channel 21-45 says "I will do this for you if you do this for me," Channel 26-44 says "I am selling this amazing new gadget, and if you want it, it's yours for only $12.95." You are the entrepreneur, part of a team where all members must be paid.

Transmitters intuit which form of persuasion will effectively relay their message. They can spontaneously adjust advertising or sales pitch to meet changing markets and situations. Using their nose or sense for what people need, they assess others instinctually, match them with products, jobs, or ideologies.

This channel's creative gifts are valuable for filmmakers, sales representatives, graphic designers, advertising executives, politicians, and diplomats. The channel often works best when you wait until the market recognizes your gifts, your Tribe pledges its support, and you're asked to promote yourself or your product on their behalf.

As the only direct link between Heart and Spleen, this channel maintains one of the main health networks in the body. Gate 26's connection to the thymus gland links immune function with ego strength. Your integrity in selling to the Tribe affects your physical heart's health.

If something doesn't smell right about a person or project, don't engage. Your nose knows before your mind does. In exchange for this work, you demand fair compensation, a healthy balance of rest and work. You are not designed for eight hours a day in an office. You can accomplish more in compressed time than most do all day.
