It is a deep need to express oneself.
This gate demands attention.
This is potentially an extremely creative gate but this is not a creativity rooted in awareness but in its unique direction.
Individual expression,
like individual insight can only be fulfilled through interaction with others.
The role of this creativity is,
‘doing your own thing’ and when and if the creativity attracts attention,
it may become an example for a new direction for others.
Regardless of this potential,
the drive to express one’s individuality to others isn’t always appreciated.
This gate and its relationship to its harmonic gate 8:Holding Together,
can best be expressed through the relationship between the ‘Artist’ (1) and the ‘Agent’ (8).
When in harmony,
this channel contributes creative direction to the collective.
Tension can arise in this relationship when the Artist wants to be their own agents or when the Agent knows better than the Artist.
