Without nourishment and caring,
nothing can survive,
particularly a Human Being,
who is so vulnerable for so many years.
This is the mirror of the pure sexuality of the 59th gate.
This is a gate that is both a fuel and an expression of sexuality.
Through definition the power of the Sacral to move us is initiated.
The drive to nourish is also in its polarity,
the drive to be nourished or cared for.
This need to be cared for,
driven at the Sacral level can lead to all kinds of Sexual health problems.
If it is accompanied by a lack of values from the harmonic gate 50,
serious problems are possible.
When the possibility of values and the expression of caring come together,
we have the Channel of Preservation,
a design of Custodianship.
Those who preserve and protect.
This is the gate of compassion,
the power to care for the weak,
the sick and the young and can be impressively altuistic in its manifestation,
as in the case of Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
