Like its mirror,
the 38th gate of the Fighter
(they are in exact opposition in the Zodiac),
Obstruction is a combative fuel.
Sometime between the birth of Buddha and Jesus,
the Solar Plexus Center began to evolve into our third
Awareness center.
The Awareness of the'Spirit'.
Rarely experienced in our time,
Emotional Awareness is our collective destiny.
The energy to provoke is an essential ingredient It is in the design that the individual must fight,
is provoked and must provoke to find the spirit.
The provocateur is seeking out the spirit,
trying to provoke it into expression.
Since this gate is always looking for its spirit,
this fuel also gives it the energy to persevere,
to deal with the moods that this process releases.
With this energy, whoever you can provoke is not for you!
The journey is towards the spirit.
This channel is a Design of Moodiness.
The mood swings,
from hope to pain,
is the energy of the Solar Plexus and not its potential awareness.
Patience is the key.
If the mood cycle is not seen for what it is,
the wave frequency of the Solar Plexus,
then a result may be 'eating' disorders.
