The Complete Rave I'Ching by Ra Uru Hu
Gate 24:
Returning
(The Gate Of Rationalizing)
Gate 24:
Returning.
The Gate Of Rationalizing.
Channel:
61/24 - Awareness.
A design of the thinker.
Harmonic Gate:
61 - Inner Truth.
Center:
Ajna.
Circuit:
Knowing.
Astrological Position:
"07° 37' 30" - 13° 15' 00"
Zodiac Symbol:
Taurus.
Incarnation Cross:
The Right Angle Cross of the Four Ways.
The Return is a conceptualizing gate. Individual conceptualizing is a complex process.
The role of the mental individuality is to find a way to communicate a unique awareness to the Collective mind.
Before any attempt at communication is possible,
the inspiration must be given a rational form.
The word rationalizing often has a negative conotation attached to it which is a projection of the collective on the individual.
The Return is just that,
returning over and over again,
what is poetically called pondering,
until the energy is transformed into a rational form.
In the symmetry of this circuit, there are three gates of Awareness potential;
28: The Risk Taker and 55: the gate of the half empty or half full cup, Abundance.
The design to rationalize is a risk and a test of the Spirit.
There is no proof, logical collective or experience,
abstract collective,
there is only the potential that what has been rationalized may be a true knowing.
THE NATURAL AND SPONTANEOUS PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION AND RENEWAL.
Gate 24.1: The sin of omission.
Transformation that requires retrogressive periods before renewal can take place.
Exaltation:
The will to triumph and in this case the faith that the end justifies the means.
Inspiration that demands a reassessment of past thinking before a rational concept can be established.
Detriment:
Self-delusion which unnaturally justifies periods of retrogression.
Inspiration that leads to an irrational focus on what is past.
Gate 24.2: Recognition.
Exaltation:
The proper and spontaneous adaption to new forms.
The potential gift of conceptualizing spontaneously.
Detriment:
The vanity to see transformation as a personal achievement rather than a socially supported or natural phenomenon.
The mental vanity that the gift of conceptualizing spontaneously can produce.
Gate 24.3: The addict.
The powerful attraction of regressive forms.
Exaltation:
The ultimate though difficult triumph over regression.
The difficult but possible task of overcoming irrationality.
Detriment:
Addiction and regression legitimized by success.
Irrationality maintained and legitimized by success.
Gate 24.4: The hermit.
Transformation that can only take place in isolation.
Exaltation:
The discipline and focus that assures renewal.
Aloneness enriches the potential for rational thought.
Detriment:
The tendency in isolation to live in a fantasy world.
Aloneness encourages the potential of illusion or delusion.
Gate 24.5: Confession.
The courage to admit the mistakes of the past.
Exaltation:
The practical value of starting with a clean slate,
symbolized by the New Moon.
Rational correction that opens the way to new possibilities.
Detriment:
The tendency to try to minimalize past mistakes through rationalization;
turning confession into justification.
Irrational justification of past mistakes.
Gate 24.6: The gift horse.
The possibility of being deaf when opportunity knocks.
Exaltation:
The conscious participation in a process that prepares one for easy identification of opportunity.
Identification and focus with the rational thought process.
Detriment:
Innate suspicion which leads inevitably to lost opportunities.
Often irrational suspicion that distorts the focus and can lead to missed opportunities.
