The awareness potential is the instinct to adapt in the now without losing continuity.
This is the gate of Duration,
where all of our instinctive imprinting is rooted.
By its nature,
it is extremely conservative.
Where the Sensitivity Stream is social and communal,
the Instinctive Stream is social and individual.
Rooted in the Splenic system,
it is first and foremost about individual survival on the material plane.
It will not rush to embrace a revolution,
but if it succeeds and is established in the general community,
then it will instinctly adapt,
maintaining its basic nature.
This is the potential awareness of what can or cannot be transformed.
It is the brake on the drive of the 54.
What is transformed and stored as instinctive memory,
determines the ultimate strength of the Ego.
Each gate of the Splenic Center has an underlying fear, here,
it is the fear of failure.
It can be a gate of prolonged indecision,
the conservative reliance agonizing over the risks of being driven towards transformation.
