Channel 17-62

Background: As the gate of the right eye, Gate 17 visualizes the patterns while Gate 62 translates them and manifests the detail through words. Gate 62 is responsible for the creation of language, the means by which we name, organize, evaluate, communicate and give meaning to what we see and experience. Whatever Channel 17-62 can successfully organize into its own internal picture, it can understand; what it can't integrate into its own perspective in this way, it will not understand. Gate 62 is also one of three gates in the design of mammals that connects to humans, in this case with Gate 17. Such inter-species connections led to the domestication of animals, which in turn led to the organization of sustainable communities. This particular connection also enhances the training of animals by connecting them to mind, to higher cognition.

Personal: Your mind is constantly busy organizing details into your own mental filing system, always making adjustments to your "big picture" by fitting what others think or say into it. This is how you keep a constant vigil on your internal patterns. All new data has to be logically organized and integrated to fit your perspective.

"With constant pressure on your Throat Center to speak, you will find you derive satisfaction and a sense of release by sharing your opinions in great detail, or explaining what you do or do not understand about something. In both instances, it is particularly important to pay attention to your timing and the receptivity of your audience. You have a highly sought-after gift for logically organizing things such as business groups, events, projects and other people's spaces, yet you may not be particularly interested in keeping your own space neat and in order.

Interpersonal: People with the Channel of Acceptance have a built-in foundation for teaching or presenting information to others. They have a gift for effectively translating detailed visual patterns into language, as formulas, theories or hypotheses, so that they can be tested for viability. Waiting to be invited to speak ensures the successful timing, effectiveness and clarity of their sharing, and decreases the possibility ofmeeting resistance or merely boring others with unasked for trivia. Logic naturally stands its ground. Debate and argumentation, fundamental forms of criticism and friction that are necessary for logic to scrutinize an existing pattern, remain a common source of stress-inducing interactions between people, especially if taken personally.
