Preponderance of The Great
(The Gate Of The Game Player)
Gate 28:
Preponderance of The Great.
The Gate Of The Game Player.
Channel:
28/38 - Struggle.
A design of stubbornness.
Harmonic Gate:
38 - Opposition.
Center:
Spleen.
Circuit:
Knowing.
Astrological Position:
"02° 00' 00 - 07° 37' 30"
Zodiac Symbol:

Incarnation Cross:
The Right Angled Cross of the Unexpected.
The Spleen is the home of our oldest and only existential awareness,
our body consciousness, the 'gut' feeling.
The 28th gate is a conceptualizing gate,
the first step of any awareness process.
The potential of intuition is to know in the now,
whether it is of value to struggle or not.
Where the mechanical fighter will not listen, the game player must.
The fear of this gate is of death.
The challenge is life itself.
The development of intuitional potential is based on trial and error.
Being a part of the Knowing Circuit,
this is a deeply individual process.
The risks are always taken alone and so are the consequences.
The individual in society is the key to direction,
but that role is fraught with difficulties.
Any change in direction is the direct result of Mutation,
the Format (3 / 60) of this circuit.
If the mutation is going to be successful and replace the old with the new,
the Tribe and the Collective must be convinced of its value.
The knower who does not know what knowing to fight for,
or how to fight for it,
will face enormous resistance.
THE TRANSITORINESS OF POWER AND INFLUENCE.
Gate 28.1: Preparation.
Exaltation:
The desire to be effective manifested in the application of energy to detail.
The intuition to potentially apply energy to detail.
Detriment:
The aesthetic appreciation of planning that may have no real application.
An intuition for detail without the potential for application.
Gate 28.2: Shaking hands with the devil.
Distasteful alliance.
Exaltation:
A means, however unsavoury, that is justified by its end.
When the game turns to a struggle,
the intuitive acceptance of any alliance in order to win.
Detriment:
The anxiety engendered by sacrificing higher principles when there is no guarantee of success.
The risk in sacrificing principles when there is no guarantee of victory.
Gate 28.3: Adventurism.
Unfounded risk taking.
Exaltation:
A basic conservatism that even in adventurous acts is necessarily prudent.
An intuitive caution in risk taking in times of struggle.
Detriment:
Here a perverse manifestation of Jupiter's expansiveness where risk taking is rationalized and failure ensured.

The ability through whatever means to keep one's grip.

The application of knowledge to exploit opportunities and usually for the greater good.
A depth of intuition at its best in struggle and often of value to others.

The application of intelligence to hold on,
exclusively out of self-interest.
A depth of intuition that is stubbornly selfish in its capacity to hold on.
Gate 28.5: Treachery.
The abuse of trust.
Exaltation:
The manipulation of the collective,
that while pitting one faction against the other,
does not directly support or reject either.
The intuitive capacity of the game player to provoke struggle amongst others.
Detriment:
The breaking of alliances with trusted forces to align with more powerful forces and its attendant destabilization of the whole.
The intuitive recognition in times of struggle to know when alliances must be broken and its destabilizing effect on others.

Sacrifice rather than capitulation to the law of deterioration.

Regeneration and renewal no matter what the price.
The deep intuitive drive to win no matter what the cost.
