This is the energy of limitation itself.
This gate is the pulsing pressure to mutate.
In terms of the collective,
the Knowing Circuit is the experimental field where mutations can develop that may or may not be of benefit to the whole.
This possibility of mutation is grounded in the release of limited amounts of energy.
This limitation,
the pulse,
manifests as power bursts rather then sustained flows.
Knowing, is there and it is not.
The mystery of music,
as Miles Davis the jazz composer noted,
is in the space between the notes.
It is in the 'space' that mutation takes place.
Acceptance of limitation is the heart of this process,
otherwise this energy can manifest as chronic depression.
THE ACCEPTANCE OF LIMITATION IS THE FIRST STEP IN TRANSCENDENCE.
Gate 60.1: Acceptance.
Exaltation:
The ability to maintain inner harmony when confronted by external limitations.
Harmonic energy that can deal with external limitations.
Detriment:
The drive for diversity, that when limited can become restless and agitated.
Restless energy when confronted with external limitations.
Gate 60.2: Decisiveness.
Exaltation:
The understanding of the nature of limitation,
to accept its restraints when necessary and thus be able to take advantage of opportunities when they arise.
Energy which can adapt to restraint.
Detriment:
An adaptation to restraint that becomes habitual and maintains the nature of the limitation even when it no longer exists.
The energy for adaptation that can get stuck without eventual mutation.
Gate 60.3: Conservatism.
Exaltation:
Enlightened self-interest,
that naturally handles restrictions and limitations ensuring identity and security.
The energy to maintain identity and security despite limitations.
Detriment:
Ego gratifying self-interest that ignores limitations and suffers predictably.
Energy which ignores limitations and pays the price.
Gate 60.4: Resourcefulness.
Exaltation:
The reasoned and intelligent maximization of potential within limitations.
The maximization of potential within limitation.
Detriment:
A tendency in times of limitation to seek the inner meaning of the restriction rather,
than using its gifts to find a harmonic application within the limitation.
The former leads to withdrawal and the latter to transcendence.
The energy to know rather than accept limitation at the expense of possible mutation,
leading to depression.
Gate 60.5: Leadership.
Exaltation:
The awareness that the destruction of the old limitations simply creates new ones.
This results in behavioural patterns that demonstrate this understanding through actions and enhances leadership potential.
The energy to handle a lifelong process of dealing with limitations.
Detriment:
Where the natural desire for expansion,
when limitations are essential,
creates confusion from the top.
Expansive energy that cannot handle limitations.
Gate 60.6: Rigidity.
Exaltation:
The intuitive intellect to recognize when absolute rigidity is essential but with innovative applications to lessen its severity.
A fixed energy that is unusual in its capacity for restraint.
Detriment:
The dogmatic,
principled and carefully reasoned understanding,
that is uncompromizing in its severity and often coldly brutal in operation.
An uncompromizing and severe acceptance of restraint.
So uncompromizing that the restraint may become unbearable and lead to chronic depression.
