The Daily View


Gate 52 - Keeping Still (Mountain)

Gate of Stillness - Focused and Channeled Energy

Temporary and self-imposed inaction for the benefit of assessment. Concentration benefits from stillness and withdrawal. A passive rather than active energy.

This Gate is part of the Channel of Concentration, A Design of Determination, linking the Root (Gate 52) to the Sacral Center (Gate 9). Gate 52 is part of the Collective Understanding Circuit (Logic) with the keynote of sharing.

Gate 52 is energy under pressure that is focused on assessment, the raw power to concentrate. There is a passive tension in this connection from the Root Center that is looking toward Gate 9 for an outlet. Once the 52nd gate finds something it deeply identifies with, something worthwhile to channel this energy toward, the tension is balanced between the Root Center's pressure to keep us moving forward, and Gate 52's power to help us sit still and concentrate. Before this balance is reached, however, we can find ourselves vacillating between restlessness and depression, bouncing from one thing to the next, unable to find the self discipline to withdraw once again into our stillness and concentrate.

There is no physical outlet within Gate 52 that can direct or relieve this passive tension within us except to focus it. Without Gate 9, it is difficult to know what activity or details to concentrate it on.


Line 1 - Think before you speak

Exaltation: The pause that is so profound that it leads to silence. The pacification of energy that leads to stillness.

Detriment: Speaking first and living with the consequences afterwards. Energy that cannot be stilled.


The Daily View reflects the impact the Sun (70% of the neutrino influence) is having on humanity as it moves through the Gates and Lines of the Mandala. Transits are potentials that you can witness in others and the world around you, and, if correct for you, as you follow your individual Strategy and Authority, may become a part of your experience as well.
