It is in the Sacral that the potential for mutation is empowered.
This is a gate of confused energy,
confused in the sense that it is unsubstantiated,
like the individual insight,
it is unique and has to find its form.
Mutation can operate in two basic ways.
The simplest is the direct mutation through reproduction.
The Sacral is our center of fertility.
It is associated in biology with the Ovaries in a woman and the Testes in a man.
The potential of mutation is deeply connected to our reproductive process and is an essential ingredient for our continued survival.
The 3rd gate not only generates potential mutation but it determines what genetic material we inherit from our parents' genetic pool.
This is Generational mutation.
The second form of mutation is through the fulfillment of the Knowing circuit.
Individual expression that through example changes and mutates those who have contact with them, this is Cultural mutation.
THE FUNDAMENTAL CHALLENGE OF INITIATION IS TO TRANSCEND CONFUSION AND ESTABLISH ORDER.
Gate 3.1: Synthesis.
Difficulties can only be overcome when all the pertinent factors have been analyzed.
Exaltation:
The understanding that confusion is natural and must always exist before clarity can be achieved.
An innate knowing that order will emerge from confusion.
Detriment:
The reliance on intellect at the expense of intuition can lead to unnecessary frustration.
The inability to know that order will emerge and the drive to find this knowing elsewhere.
Gate 3.2: Immaturity.
The unrestrained acceptance of guidance.
Exaltation:
The unrelenting energy for growth will eventually triumph.
The energy and potential for individual mutation.
Detriment:
Internal instability which both accepts and rejects authority simultaneously.
Energy and potential that is conditioned by others leading to instability.
Gate 3.3: Survival.
The ability to recognize and distinguish between fertile and sterile in their various manifestations.
Exaltation:
In reproduction, the ability to choose the best mate.
An innate knowing of what is sterile and what is fertile where the mutation is specifically biological and dependent on collaboration with others.
Detriment:
The perverse denial of evolutionary standards.
An innate contrariness which refuses to mutate.
Gate 3.4: Charisma.
Innate quality which attracts valued guidance.
Exaltation:
Physic attunement that magnetizes nurturing.
A psychic energy which attracts nourishment and ensures ordering.
Detriment:
Mars in detriment, where the demands of ego lead to rejection.
Confused energy that needs nourishment but is generally rejected.
Gate 3.5: Victimization.
When actions designed to overcome confusion alienate others.
Exaltation:
The courage to stand by one's convictions.
The unique energy of individuality to withstand confusion.
Detriment:
The Earth in detriment, where victimization leads to appeasement and suffering.
Confused energy which is dominated by the ordering power of others.
Gate 3.6: Surrender.
The ultimate maturity to recognize when struggle is futile.
Exaltation:
As its light sustains, so life goes on.
The innate acceptance that ordering is a process, not a problem.
Detriment:
As darkness overwhelms, life can seem worthless leading to depression and the sense of hopelessness.
The overwhelming power of confused energy can lead to depression.
