The Channel of Structuring (23-43)

What it means

The Channel of Structuring links the Ajna's sudden insights with the Throat's need to explain them. It produces original, unexpected knowing that often arrives fully formed.

The challenge is translation. Said too early or to the wrong people, the insight sounds strange; said when someone is ready, it sounds like genius.

The two gates

• Gate 23
• Gate 43

Its circuit

It belongs to the Individual circuit, the circuitry of mutation. Its energy is unique to the person, comes in pulses, and empowers others by example rather than by sharing.

Channel 23-43 is the Channel of Structuring: a design of individuality, from genius to freak. The Channel of Structuring links the Ajna's sudden insights with the Throat's need to explain them. It produces original, unexpected knowing that often arrives fully formed.

Which centres does the Channel of Structuring connect?

It connects the Throat centre, through Gate 23, Assimilation, with the Ajna centre, through Gate 43, Insight. Having the channel defines both centres.

What if I only have Gate 23 or Gate 43?

Then it is a hanging gate, half of the channel. The Channel of Structuring completes whenever a transiting planet or another person activates the other gate, for as long as that lasts.
