The Complete Rave I'Ching by Ra Uru Hu
Gate 38:
Opposition
(The Gate Of The Fighter)
Gate 38:
Opposition.
The Gate Of The Fighter.
Channel:
38/28 - Struggle.
A design of being stubbornness.
Harmonic Gate:
28 - Preponderance of the Great.
Center:
Root.
Circuit:
Knowing.
Astrological Position:
"09° 30' 00 - 15° 07' 30".
Zodiac Symbol:
Capricorn.
Incarnation Cross:
Right Angle Cross of Tension 4.
The Root is a Pressure Center, not an Awareness.
The Fuel to fight, to struggle is an energy.
The Stream of Intuition begins in this gate.
The channels which connect the Root to the Spleen,
are by their nature difficult while at the
same time being healthy.
The Spleen is a center of underlying fears.
This fuel to fight is the essential energy necessary to combat our fear of death.
This channel is about the struggle to know that life is of value.
Since this is a fuel of the Knowing Circuit, the
struggle ultimately is individual.
Often the fighter is shunned as an outsider and their struggling,
deeply misunderstood.
Through the 38th Gate,
we have the pressure to challenge,
met in the 28th Gate, by the willingness to play.
Through the definition the game playing can become very serious,
even life threatening, see 28.6 Neptune in detriment.
Here, it is the stubbornness which can overcome the odds.
Remember that the Splenic center is our center for well being.
To have this definition, to be stubborn, to struggle,
is ultimately healthy.
If it is your design,
then struggle is the only way to know.
