The Right Angle Cross of Explanation 2
The very fact that an insight is unique and individual requires,
that its expression be able to communicate its essence to the collective.
The purpose of individuation is to leave the door open to mutation.
If an insight is truly of value to others,
it has to be successfully communicated.
This gate is about eliminating intolerance.
In an intolerant world,
the individual cannot survive.
When the possibility of insight and the drive for assimilation come together,
are connected,
defined,
we have the Channel of Structuring,
a design of Individuality,
from genius to freak.
If the individual can express their insight clearly to the collective,
they will eventually earn the collective's respect.
If they cannot clearly express their insight,
they will be shunned and dismissed as outsiders or freaks.
This description is of course the extreme of the polarity.
This is the voice,
that says,
'I know (whether they do or not).'
