Gate 53:
Development
(The Gate Of Beginnings)
Gate 53:
Development.
The Gate Of Beginnings.
Channel:
53/42 - Maturation.
A design of balanced development.
Harmonic Gate:
42 - Increase.
Center:
Root.
Circuit:
Sensing.
Astrological Position:
"15° 07' 30" - 20° 45' 00".
Zodiac Symbol:
Cancer.
Incarnation Cross:
The Right Angle Cross of Penetration 2.
This is the fuel of the maturation process.
The Sensing circuit is all about transition and change.
The 53rd gate of Development is the fuel of steadfastness.
It is the energy to start a new cycle regardless of the changes that its brings.
Like the other Format gates out of the Root,
this gate carries the potential of depression.
The pressure is to begin and ultimately complete a cycle,
but without definition to the harmonic gate, 42,
there is only stress and frustration.
This is an energy which is always seeking new beginnings.
The entire Sensing Circuit demands patience.
The pressure to begin is not an awareness.
It is a mechanic.
The pressure rides a wave.
It is always present.
The intensity to start one moment will fall away in the next moment.
Wait and See.
There is no sense starting what one is not going to finish.
This defeats the entire purpose of the Abstract process.
DEVELOPMENT AS A STRUCTURED PROGRESSION THAT IS BOTH STEADFAST AND ENDURING.
Gate 53.1: Accumulation.
Exaltation:
The dissolution of old forms but not at the expense of valued components that will be retained and transformed.
The pressure to begin something new, not fromscratch but based on the foundation of the old.
Detriment:
Development hampered by criticism and the tendency to withdraw rather than make
use of these experiences. The difficulty in starting something new because of the
criticism that accompanied the old.
Gate 53.2: Momentum.
Success breeds success.
Exaltation:
The protection of early success nurtures further achievement.
The pressure to start something new based on past success.
Detriment:
A tendency with early success to haste and imprudent action.
The pressure based on success to be impatient for something new.
Gate 53.3: Practicality.
Exaltation:
In its most natural position,
the concentration on avoiding conflict to ensure protection and continued development.
The pressure to eliminate conflict in order to develop.
Detriment:
The unconscious provoking of conflict that logically threatens security and development.
Energy which provokes conflict and threatens development.
Gate 53.4: Assuredness.
Exaltation:
The ability to maintain the strength of one's individuality in complex and often awkward situations,
that ensure continued security and development.
The pressure to maintain one's individuality in confused beginnings.
Detriment:
The persistent difficulty with embarrassing or awkward situations where normal emotional reactions may prove detrimental.
Individual pressure for beginnings that creates awkward and sometimes embarrassing situations.
Gate 53.5: Assertion.
Exaltation:
The power to grow.
The capacity of the Self to grow through experiencing the extremes.
Detriment:
An over-assertiveness,
that rather than applied to maintaining support in the face of opposition and isolation,
may actually strengthen the opposing forces by its attitude.
Where the energy for beginnings attracts the very forces that can abort them.
Gate 53.6: Phasing.
Exaltation:
The successful utilization of the completion of a stage in development,
that by its evident success and value can be used as an example to attract support for the next stage.
The energy to attract support for beginnings based on the success of the past.
Detriment:
A tendency in this position, to hide success,
in the perverse fear that the success will either create excessive demands or supporters of the original process will end
their support upon completion.
The pressure to hide beginnings in fear of losing past support.
