In the original I'Ching,
the Marrying Maiden referred to was based on a legend of a concubine that eventually became the Empress of all of China.
This embodies the idea of rising up,
moving up the ladder.
This is a gate of Drive.
Since this gate is a fuel of the Ego circuit and that its inherent meaning is Ambition,
it can easilly be dismissed as a very mundane energy.
It may be suprising then to discover that the most mystical line of the 384 of the Rave I'Ching is 54.4
Enlightenment/Endarkenment.
It may appear to be an irony,
but it is not.
Only when one has mastered the instincts to operate on the mundane plane is transformation possible.
This gate fuels the drive to transform.
In biological terms,
it is associated with the body's liquid production.
The significance is that it is through the liquid medium that memory is stored and transported!
This Instinctive Stream is all about memory.
INTERACTION IN ITS MUNDANE SOCIAL CONTEXT BUT ALSO ONE'S MYSTICAL AND COSMIC RELATIONSHIPS.
Gate 54.1: Influence.
Exaltation:
The ability to achieve influence through secret relationships,
anywhere from the private adviser to the Satanist.
Ambition energized through secret relationships which fuel influence.
Detriment:
A socially misguided insistence on formal recognition of a relationship,
that in terms of influence,
will diminish its power.
Ambition which demands formal recognition limiting influence.
Gate 54.2: Discretion.
Exaltation:
The wisdom once a relationship is formally recognized to restrain the temptation to take advantage of past informal interactions.
The energy of restraint fuels ambition.
Deteriment:
Recognition, in the formal sense, seen as a licence to take advantage of informal knowledge.
A lack of loyalty.
Ambition energy which can fuel disloyalty.
Gate 54.3: Covert interaction.
Exaltation:
The ability when stymied in formal relationships to use secret or purely informal channels,
when it is the only resort.
The drive when blocked to use secret means to fuel ambition.
Detriment:
The insistence that formal channels,
no matter how frustrating,
can be overcome by the power of attraction.
The energy of ambition when blocked will fuel the power of attraction to overcome the obstacle.
Gate 54.4: Enlightenment / endarkenment.
Here,
in this most mystical of positions,
there is neither an exaltation nor a detriment,
for in truth,
they are the same.
Exaltation:
The Alpha and Omega.
The end and the beginning.
There is no description possible.
Each planet will manifest this energy uniquely with absolutely no guarantee that its effects will even be perceived.
However,
the potential is always there.
The fuel for transformation at its purest level.
No polarity.
No specific planetary accent.
