(The Gate Of The Role Of The Self)
Gate 7:
The Army.
The Gate Of The Role Of The Self.

For 'good' or 'bad' the design of leadership.

Incarnation Cross:
Left Angle Cross of Sphinx 3.
The 7th gate is part of the Sphinx Cross.
It is a gate of logical direction.
This is the gate of the role of the Self ininteraction.
The Channel of the 'Alpha' is a design of Leadership.
It is the Understanding Circuit which leads us into the future.
It is a rule of all forms, that only logic,
only the tested and established patterns,
can be followed with any certainty.
Below in the line keynotes,
it is clear how the nature of these leadership roles are dtermined.
What is significant,
is that the Self is unaware.
The role is genetic and mechanical and it does not respond to a concept of role.
An Authoritarian will always be one,
regardless.
However,
the conditioning power of this gate is enormous and has had profound effects on our collective history.
The 31 may have the Influence but the direction and role of the 7,
is all too often the power behind the throne.
Bill Clinton with his 31 and Hillary Clinton with 7.2,
or Nehru's 31 and Indira Ghandis' 7.2 are classic examples of democratic role conditioning.
