This is the gate of Contraction,
captured in the traditional Chinese image of the gardener,
In his garden in the Autumn cutting back his plants.
In terms of our genetics, the 41st gate is the only 'Initiator (start) Codon'.
It attests to the importance of the Sensing Circuit and this Stream of Feeling in particular.
This gate fuels the potential to recognize.
This recognition is through feelings.
The fuel gates of this Circuit (64 & 41) are very similar.
The 41st gate can contain all the possible range of feelings,
yet, as in the mental process,
it is only one feeling which will be of value.
There is also a parallel between the three channels connecting the Root,
to the Solar Plexus and the three channels that connect the Root to the Spleen.
The Channel of Judgment (58/18) is a mirror of this Feeling Stream.
The focus of this stream is to recognize (to judge abstractly) through a single feeling.
However,
judgment is conditioned by the frequency of the now;
recognition is conditioned by the wave.
It is never immediate.
It is always a process.
Patience is the great virtue of the Emotionally defined.
