This is the gate of maximizing the potential of beginnings through expansion.
This is also the gate of bringing things to a close,
so that the next step can be taken.
The power to complete a cycle is the heart of the growth process.
One thing at a time is its mantra. Here, in this Format,
is the core of the Abstract process.
Since there is no Splenic Center activation in this circuit,
the cyclic process can be unhealthy and is always dominated by the presence of fear.
Without the Spleen,
the recognition of the essential value of the now is missing and yet for the stability of the abstract way,
it must be accepted as essential.
We exist in the now anyway, despite our perspectives.
The change of the cyclical process is not the goal.
The 'grail' is the experience.
The abstract Being must be absorbed in the experience of the now,
in order to reflect on the experience later.
The potential of Growth is its power to mature through completion of each cycle.
THE EXPANSION OF THE RESOURCES WHICH MAXIMIZES THE DEVELOPMENT OF FULL POTENTIAL.
Gate 42.1: Diversification.
Exaltation:
The ability when surplus resources are available to extend one's activities beyond their normal scope.
Growth through expansion particularly when defined to the root.
Detriment:
A tendency when surplus resources are available to centrifugal application.
Decadence.
Too much expansion can lead to decadence.
Gate 42.2: Identification.
Exaltation:
Recognition and acute capitalization of trends.
Power for growth through participating in trends.
Detriment:
An ascetically motivated withdrawal in times of progressive change.
Growth which stops in reaction to trends or change.
Gate 42.3: Trial and error.
In times of increase, mistakes are a natural part of the process.
Exaltation:
The energy and assertion to turn mistakes into advantages.
The power to accept mistakes as part of growth.
Detriment:
A moodiness, that in error may succumb to brooding and unnecessary caution.
Mistakes give power to moodiness and caution.
Gate 42.4: The middle man.
Exaltation:
The quintessential manifestation of the mediator.
The maturity to bring growth through mediation.
Detriment:
Where the gift to establish and maintain relationships is ill-suited in this position to
act in mediation where harmony must take a back seat to pragmatism.
A lack of maturity where the power to harmonize distorts mediation and limits growth.
Gate 42.5: Self-actualization.
Exaltation:
The fulfillment and actualization of purpose as a natural path whose reward is a healthy sense of self,
rather than the power and influence that naturally follow.
Growth that is self-fulfilling and naturally leads to influence.
Detriment:
Self-actualization as a strictly inner experience that may demand or result in a reclusive nature.
Inner growth that empowers reclusiveness.
Gate 42.6: Nurturing.
Exaltation:
A natural and instinctive nurturing of others.
The power to share the process of growth with others.
Detriment:
A restrictive and malefic materialism that is self-alienating and encourages aggression.
The refusal to share the benefits of growth with others.
