The Understanding Circuit is conditioned by this Format Energy.
It determines the proper frequency for all of the circuit's components.
Focus and concentration is the theme of this circuit.
The 52nd gate, not ironically, is about stillness.
More specifically,
it is about focusing and channeling energy.
It is the fuel of passive rather then active energy functions.
All of the Format gates which arise out of the Root center are potentially sources of depression.
In this gate,
when there is no focus for energy,
the depression is a result of restlessness.
The stillness is enforced by the mechanic of the gate.
This lack of focus leads to tension.
With this theme of stillness,
the energy can be projected as anti-social in its manifestation.
The lack of active energy leads to withdrawal.
Concentration benefits from withdrawal.
TEMPORARY AND SELF-IMPOSED INACTION FOR THE BENEFIT OF ASSESSMENT.
Gate 52.1: Think before you speak.
Exaltation:
Harmonic relationships which give support for the fulfillment of any task.
The capacity of the Self to confront any challenge through extreme and harmonic relationships.
Detriment:
Alienation engendered through exaggerated claims.
The capacity of the Self to alienate others through extremes.
Gate 52.2: Concern.
Exaltation:
Modesty and right action result in enduring standards.
The capacity of the Self to accept its extreme nature as correct.
Detriment:
Where the Sun's actions are natural,
the Earth's are contrived,
though given the power of this position,
the same effect can be expected.
The capacity to use the extreme nature of the Self to influence others.
Gate 52.3: Controls.
External enforcement of inaction.
Exaltation:
The ability by its very nature to understand restraint with the potential in acceptance,
to use the period to redefine strategies.
The energy for acceptance in inaction.
Detriment:
A deep dissatisfaction with controls that disturb tranquillity,
leads to emotional withdrawal and affects vision.
The pressure of restraint disturbs tranquillity.
Gate 52.4: Self-discipline.
Exaltation:
Perfected self-discipline and restraint that deals easily and wisely with impulsive temptations.
The energy for restraint which recognizes the value of stillness and focus.
Detriment:
Though responsive to the need of a principled control based on the understanding of conditions,
there is a tendency due to its natural expansiveness,
to doubt and restlessness.
Restless energy and doubt in the face of restraint.
Gate 52.5: Sensitivity.
In times of inaction, the often important ability, to explain one's position.
Exaltation:
The often terse but exceedingly accurate statement.
Where inaction and focus can lead to detail.
Detriment:
A convolution whose enigmatic nature is normally misunderstood with unpredictable circumstances.
Where too much inaction can lead to a loss of focus, and not to detail.
Gate 52.6: Self-defense.
Exaltation:
A harmonic and balanced attunement that is at ease regardless of the situation.
The lack of pressure in times of stillness.
Detriment:
Delusion as a substitute for genuine tranquillity.
Given the positive nature of this position,
the delusion may be just as effective as the 'real thing'.
Where the pacification of the energy is extreme,
pressure real or imagined does not disturb the stillness.
