Powerful emotions and unique insights aren't for everyone.
Standstill is the only gate in the Throat that is specifically about not doing.
It is a gate of social caution,
of wariness about the collective.
This is one of the three gates (40,33) of Aloneness.
Since this is the gate of the mechanical expression of the Emoting Stream,
its caution is naturally rooted in its mood.
'I try' is its voice but it is always a maybe,
depending on the mood,
the spirit.
The individual always faces resistance and it is natural to be hesitant about social interaction.
This gate is a destiny of 'familiarity bringing contempt'.
The individual has its greatest impact as a stranger of consequence;
releasing its awareness in the proper spirit and then withdrawing.
As a Throat mechanic,
this gate has the capacity to be extremely articulate (when its in the mood).
The power of Cultural Mutation is the mystery of Standstill.

through the channel of Openness,
leads to successful mutation and the emergence of a new social form.
