The Channel of Materialism is unique in the Body Graph.
It stands alone as a single channel,
self-enclosed unit.
It is the only outlet for the two Streams of Awareness,
which determine the nature of the Ego;
its strength and its will.
In this sense,
it rules our Tribal life.
Biting Through is the power for life on the material plane.
It is a great conditioning force in the world.
To have this gate in your Design,
demands that you control,
where you live,
what you wear and what you eat!
This gate can never afford to have a boss leaning over their shoulder.
This is the gate of the 'hunter/huntress' and it is their ego drive to dominate.
If this gate had a voice,
it would say,
'I control'.
If it is in a situation where it does not control,
its power can never be fulfilled.
This channel is keynoted as The Money Line.
For the 21,
if they are not in control of how they make their living,
they are always far from success.
THE NECESSARY AND QUALITATIVE FOUNDATION THAT IS A PREREQUISITE TO ESTABLISH THE COMMON GOOD.
Gate 48.1: Insignificance.
Exaltation:
An instinctive recognition of what is practical and deserves attention.
A taste for recognizing what is practical and deserves attention.
Detriment:
An ego tendency to apply energy to trivial considerations.
A taste for trivia.
Gate 48.2: Degeneracy.
Exaltation:
The awareness that to successfully establish a new form one cannot neglect the
most positive attributes just to accommodate inferior elements. This would lead to
deterioration. A confidence in awareness to resist inferior influences.
Detriment:
The misguided urge for harmony that degenerates when associated with inferior
values into decadence. A lack of confidence in awareness that invites interference
and decadence.
Gate 48.3: Incommunicado.
Exaltation:
Symbolized by the 'no Moon' phase,
where the potential of light is unrecognized,
unavailable and unknowable.
The redeeming value is in the transience of such a stage which can give strength to those so afflicted.
Where the development of taste and depth is a long term process.
Detriment:
The profound anxiety when a profound intelligence is forgotten in the wilderness.
The tendency in a long term process (development of taste and depth) to anxiety.
Gate 48.4: Restructuring.
Exaltation:
The good sense to take advantage of restriction on short term activity to assess the
situation and restructure for long term goals that will facilitate development when activity resumes.
The awareness that depth and its possible expression will face restrictions with a resulting taste for short term projects.
Detriment:
A resistance to restructuring on speculation,
with the tendency when activity resumes to have to do so anyway.
A taste for long term projects that will be frustrated
in restraint.
Gate 48.5: Action.
Exaltation:
The natural urge to apply energy to action.
A taste for action.
Detriment:
An overreliance on the need for protection that in times of social,
renewal is obsessed with the details of planning at the expense of action.
Insecurity with one's depth that can fail to take action.
Gate 48.6: Self-fulfillment.
An undiminishable resource.
Exaltation:
The valued center,
that as it gives,
it receives and thus can continue to give.
A depth and potential talent that is of value to others.
Detriment:
A tendency to superficiality, that though generous and nurturing,
will lack the inspirational quality that can transform its gift into a common currency.
Where the depth is limited the taste will be superficial and affect the quality of the possible talent.
