Gate 4 - Youthful Folly

Gate of Formulization - Logic Protects us From Misfortune

The energy to beguile and succeed despite ignorance. Freedom from retribution. An answer, a formula, is only a potential.

This Gate is part of the Channel of Logic, A Design of Mental Ease Mixed with Doubt, linking the Ajna Center (Gate 4) to the Head Center (Gate 63). Gate 4 is part of the Collective Understanding (Logic) Circuit with the keynote of sharing.

Gate 4 applies mental awareness to questions fueled by doubt about the future; it formulates logic's answers. Each answer, each formula, is only a potential, which must eventually be tested and substantiated by facts. That means that our answers may be the ones people seek, and they may not be. We use our mental intelligence and mental awareness to judge what looks suspicious. The pressure of a doubt or suspicion can last a lifetime, however, and we need to rely on our Authority to guide us to the correct question(s) on which to concentrate our energy while we wait for the right timing to share our answers. Ultimately, the answers we formulate are to be applied to questions that come from people around us. Rarely if ever can we formulate answers that provide solutions to our own questions about our life. Understanding and accepting this truth can bring the comfort of letting answers come and go in our mind, until the time is right for one to be brought to the surface by being asked to share it for the benefit of others.

If we do not have Gate 63, we may spend a lot of time looking for the next inspirational question we can answer in order to resolve the lack of logic and chaos of the mind.


Line 6 - Excess
Repeated and conscious abuse of norms will not escape discipline.

Exaltation: The development through experience of techniques to apply self-restraint. The potential in a logical process to recognize when the understanding is not complete and have the patience to wait out the process.

Detriment: The gall to accept punishment as the price of excess. Despite recognizing the incompleteness a lack of patience with the process.


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.
