This gate of the Throat Center says,
'I think'.
It is not the Opinions of 17 that speak but the mechanical capacity for Detail which communicates.
The Throat center associated in our biology with the Thyroid Glands,
is our center for metamorphosis.
This channel is the perfect illustration of this function.
What is a visualization at the mental level is concretized in the Throat,
opinion manifests as words.
It is through this gate the things (formulas) are given their names.
The fixing of names is the foundation of the Maia.
The 62nd gate is manifestation through detail.
This drive for detail can become compulsive.
In order for the Collective to understand its world,
everything must have a name.
The quality of the opinion is always dependent on the ability to detail the concept logically,
not on the concept itself.
'I think' is not 'I do'.
The concept of how things should be organized must face the crucible of testing,
repetition and experimentation.
This is the gate of the development of language and the common ground for sharing the Human experience.
CAUTION, PATIENCE AND DETAIL PRODUCE EXCELLENCE OUT OF LIMITATION.
