The Fire of Desire
Gate 30 in the Solar Plexus carries the emotional pressure of desire, yearning for new experiences and the feelings that accompany them. This Collective Sensing gate creates the emotional fuel that initiates new experiential cycles.
Clinging Fire
The I Ching name 'The Clinging Fire' refers to the intensity of emotional desire that attaches to what it wants to experience. Gate 30 connects to Gate 41 in the Root to form the Channel of Recognition, emotional desire meeting the pressure for new beginnings.
