Right Angle Cross of Explanation (49/4 | 43/23)

Right Angle Cross of Explanation (49/4 | 43/23) 

The itinerant prophet addressing the principles behind necessity by pointing out what basic needs must be satisfied for all to survive; sensitivities to those in need. (Gates 49-4-43-23)

You are a ragged itinerant prophet, barefoot, dragging a shadow that contains humanity’s final checklist for survival. You walk through barren villages, starving cities, crumbling tribes, and with a hoarse yet indisputable voice proclaim: “To stay alive, these things must be done.” 

Gate 49 is the hexagram of Lake over Fire—the gate of rejection (principles), law of necessity, last resort, civil unrest, platform, organization, attraction, awareness potential and spiritual rituals, the ideal form of transformation is based on higher principles, not power struggles. Knowing what the community needs in terms of people and things. Gate 49 is part of the integration synergy channel, this channel is a sensitive design, connecting the emotional center (Gate 49) and the sacral center (Gate 19). Belonging to the tribal (willpower) circuit, support is its keynote. Acceptance and rejection, marriage and divorce, and the principles followed by the final revolution are the results influenced by emotional cycles in a hierarchical tribal structure. Because Gate 49 places you at the top of the hierarchy, you need others to obey you, and this need transforms into various modes, including how you use power to decide to accept or reject someone, or whether they can access your resources, or they have to rise up for themselves or others, promoting reform. Facing people (or animals) and their specific needs, whether you are sensitive or dull depends on whether they comply with the principles you set. In other words, those who get your permission to enter the circle must be willing to support you and the principles you set, and the rest are excluded. Your idea is to change and transform the overall society, especially focusing on food and food distribution issues. When people are full, there is no need to start wars. If needs are met, revolution has no necessity, otherwise revolution becomes a necessary evil, though reluctant, but still must be done. And you are the one who makes the decision, you decide to accept or reject, you decide what road we take to satisfy the other end of the demand. You fear rejection and worry about unexpected consequences, which make you tense. 

Gate 4 is the hexagram of Youthful Folly—the gate of formulation, pleasure, acceptance, irresponsibility, deceiver, temptation, transcendence, logic protects us from doom, energy to bluff through despite ignorance, freedom from punishment. Answers and formulas are only possibilities. Gate 4 is part of the logic channel, this channel is a design of a mind full of doubts, connecting the logic center (Gate 4) and the head center (Gate 63). Belonging to the collective understanding (logic) circuit, sharing is its keynote. Gate 4 detects where the problem is, and these problems stem from doubts about the future, finding formulas, forming logical answers. Each answer or formula only represents a hidden possibility, which must finally be tested with facts as evidence. This also means our answers may or may not be what people are looking for. We need to use our intelligence and awareness to judge suspicious parts. The pressure of doubt or suspicion will continue throughout life, however, we need to rely on our inner authority for guidance, to invest our spirit in the right problems, and wait for the appropriate timing to share answers. In the end, the formulas and answers you find are to answer questions from the surrounding crowd, you rarely find answers for your own life and problems, providing solutions. If you understand and accept the fact as it is, you can freely let answers come and go in your mind until the right time appears, problems naturally emerge, and someone will come to ask us, and our sharing will benefit others. If there is no Gate 63, you may spend a lot of time constantly looking for inspiring questions to answer, or feel your life will be forever chaotic and become anxious. 

Gate 43 is the hexagram of Lake over Heaven—the gate of insight, patience, dedication, expediency, stubbornness, development, breakthrough, listening to the inner voice, perfectly establishing a new order to continue existing achievements. Expressing and transforming inner truth into unique viewpoints. Gate 43 is part of the structuring channel, this channel is the design from genius to freak, connecting the logic center (Gate 43) and the throat center (Gate 23). Belonging to the individual (knowing) circuit, empowering others is its keynote. Gate 43 represents the inner ear, referring to listening to your unique inner voice. Through spontaneous breakthroughs, finding new perspectives, it transforms reasonable inner awareness into personal insights. The viewpoints you propose have no factual evidence, but can still be clearly argued, although these arguments may sound ridiculous at first and completely beyond the scope recognized by family and social people. But as long as at the right time, you have the ability to intellectually shape this unique and mutation-inducing awareness. After the concept is complete, it must through Gate 23 in the throat center, let the hidden mutation occur, this may be an unprecedented, brand new viewpoint. For you, the most difficult thing is to listen, or truly listen to what others say. This is not your fault, nor does it need correction, all this is due to your innate genetic factors, a self-protection effect to avoid excessive external influence. Gate 43 fears rejection. Especially when you cannot explain your ideas, or worry about being too strange and suffering rejection, you may feel anxious in your mind. Therefore, if lacking Gate 23, how to express your breakthrough becomes your difficulty. 

Gate 23 is the hexagram of Mountain over Earth—the gate of assimilation, evangelism, self-defense, individuality, splitting, assimilation, fusion, simple alchemy/supreme state: essence/gift: simplicity/shadow: complexity/repressive tendency: taciturn/reactive tendency: fragmented, eliminating intolerance, transcending morality. Awareness and cognition to accept diversity. Unique insights open the door to mutation. Gate 23 translates inner awareness into language expression. It transcends morality, accepts diversity, has the ability to cross mental tolerance levels, opening the possibility of mutation for this world. Through what the assimilation gate expresses, it can trigger new ideas for us. Here, you can finally say “I know” through a unique voice. Whether you know or not, everything you express always attracts others' attention, while also placing you in looking inward from outside. Those potentially very different insights that will bring transformation need you to clearly communicate their essence. For others, if your unique insights are truly valuable, you must wait for the right timing to say, and express in a simple, clear, understandable way. Otherwise, you may be misunderstood as a madman or monster. In addition, an important point is that you can only talk about what you really know. In time, everyone will recognize your genius, and you will get others' affirmation. If lacking the conceptualization process of Gate 43, you may feel anxious about not being able to convey clearly, and thus be misunderstood or rejected. 

[The 23-43 structuring channel] Independent, the design from genius to freak, projector channel (knowing circuit), challenging existing structures and patterns, subverting the past, establishing new structures, thoroughly changing everyone's perspective on things, triggering mutation. Having the ability to develop skills and ideas to improve efficiency. How to clearly and concisely explain innovative insights, again and again, until everyone understands, is their life lesson that can be continuously refined. The challenge is to let go and no longer control, let the mind's ideas operate in their own way and timing. When the timing passes, there will be a lack of presence, or feeling alienated, even rejecting one's unique awareness. May turn a deaf ear to others' opinions (mechanism to protect insights). The individual mind always feels like an outsider, waiting for invitation to propose unique awareness. Structuring channel. You seem to have a third eye, keen psychological assessment and observation, publishing unique insights enough to change the world's appearance, must use a rounded way to resonate with people, can make good use of timing and your unique voice to convey your superior insights. This is a individual channel about personal mind, Gate 43 is good at cracking existing affairs, reorganizing and reconstructing, expressed through Gate 23, people who can't understand new concepts will treat you as a freak, those who can will regard you as a genius, the key to understanding lies in your expression and eloquence; your contribution is to break old patterns, show new patterns with higher efficiency. 43-23 is the structuring channel, connecting Gate 23 “Gate of Spitting Apart” in the throat center and Gate 43 “Gate of Breakthrough” in the Ajna center. This is a channel expressing individual mind. Gate 43 breaks existing understanding, re-understands and rebuilds, then expressed by Gate 23. 43-23 is also called channel of genius to freak, their unusual views reflect their unique perspectives, occasionally, outsiders' opinions on their ideas, 43-23 people will reject listening to avoid influence. But this does not mean they really know something, just “what they said”. Sometimes they really know, but other times they don't. About the freak and genius of 43-23, it means the insight and expression range of 43-23 people have great possibilities. A person said something, does not guarantee he expressed it in an easy-to-understand way. The title “freak” is usually due to “poor communication”, not “wrong understanding”. When the things expressed by people with activated 43-23 channel are successfully understood by others, 43-23 people will be called geniuses, but if they can't be understood, they seem to become freaks. People with activated 43-23 must learn two important skills: “speaking skills” and “patience”. Speaking skills are to reach the audience, but because 43-23 is a projector channel, patiently waiting to be recognized to get an audience “ready to receive the message that must be heard”. The “knower” ability of 43-23 can structurally empower others. This channel is always structuring, and its final gift is to make everything more efficient. What these 43-23 people need to be understood is: if they can explain to you how to be more efficient, they can make you mutate and evolve. The greatest contribution of people with 43-23 channel is: to increase our acceptance of those different from us, and recognize the role they play in transforming our old patterns and values into newer ones. 

You possess an almost pathological sensitivity to lack; the mere scent of hunger, cold, or fear compels you to speak, often at the worst possible moment. You did not come to comfort the world; you came to tear it open. You point only to “necessary principles”: who must be accepted, which resources must be rejected, which old orders must be overthrown so that everyone can live to see tomorrow. Like Kali you swing the sword of wisdom, stringing severed heads of the obsolete into a rattling necklace, so that everyone who hears the clatter remembers: no revolution, no survival. 

Your greatest terror is not being misunderstood, but being dismissed as mad while the warning still goes unheeded. So you learn to breathe before the insight bursts out; you learn to wrap thunder in stories, in silence, in a glance, turning blurted revelation into language that can actually be heard. Because you know that when the principle finally lands, the entire tribe is reborn in the instant you open your mouth. 

Kali descends once more, licking the blood of the old age with her black tongue, announcing the Quarter of Initiation: through mind purpose is achieved; the observer shall return. You are the merciless prophet who stands atop the ruins and makes everyone finally understand what “necessary” actually means.
