“Think about the open center. And I'm speaking of the entirely open center, because this gives us an opportunity to actually look at open centers. There is not a lot of material available on open centers as a matter of fact.

When you're looking at an open center that has a gate in it, it's already deeply aligned to that center's process. Regardless if that is a dormant or an active gate. Just one gate. Let's look at my emotional center. I only have one active gate in my emotional center, it's dormant. It's the 49th gate. It's unconscious. And even though it's the only gate, even though it's in an open center, even though it's an unconscious gate, I have a fixed emotional theme built into me.

You turn on my emotional system and I will either accept you or reject you, because that's the wave.

Emotions for me have always been framed in that context, because it's my only theme. It's how I open up to the emotional wave. I always open up through my 49, always consistent. And if there were other gates and so forth and so on, the moment that you have a gate that's there in any center, it already is deeply part of the generic.

But these centers here, NO activations, there is no thematic. None. So what that means is that the way in which they take in the other and the way in which it's amplified, they have no predetermined way to deal with it.

In other words, you take in exactly what you're given and amplify it back. You take EXACTLY what you're given and you amplify it back. So important. I mean it's what makes these open centers so interesting as fonts for wisdom.

In other words, my open sacral, totally open. What that means for me in essence is that if anyone defines my sacral, I am only amplifying THEM. Nothing else. It's THEM. Nothing else. Just them.

And of course in that, if I'm not identified with that, is extraordinary learning, because it's learning that it's absolutely objective! You take someone with a totally undefined G, same thing! In other words, when they take in someone else's identity, they take in THAT identity! And that's their GIFT! They take it in and they can see it for what it is. In the same way that I can take in the sacral and see it for what it is, without having prejudice!

I mean, when you have a gate, immediately there is a prejudice! You know, immediately there is an angle. Immediately there is a built in theme. And it distorts the way you see the whole! In other words, I don't have the same purity of understanding of the emotional system that's open in me than I do of the sacral. Because with the emotional system still, even though it's so open, I still have my unconscious theme. And I'm always qualifying what I take in from the emotional plane through that theme, filtered through that theme.

So when you're looking at a centre that is entirely open, it represents at the awakened level a real opportunity for wisdom. Because it's really a perfect teacher for you. But obviously within the context of the Not-Self it's not like that at all as a matter of fact it can feel very very uncomfortable! Swimming is what I call it. People with totally open centers, they end up swimming around in the centers being defined by others. They don't really have anything to latch onto, because they don't have their own theme! I mean they don't! They just sort of float around in it. Kind of. You know, because they can't FIX on it. It makes them quite different in the way in which they amplify it back.

It does not mean that they avoid the strategy. But it does mean that their strategy, their Not-Self strategy, is gonna be determined by the way in which they're influenced. In other words, the Not-Self strategy if you have an open Splene, is going to be impacted by somebody giving it a theme. Somebody in your life that sticks the 18 there or sticks the 50 in there. And all of a sudden you're gonna frame that strategy of holding onto things that aren't good for you, so you'll hold on to authorities that aren't good to you. Or you're gonna hold on to challenges to authority that aren't good for you. You know, or whatever the theme that it happens to pick up.

You don't really have a discernment. I mean, the Not-Self can really get lost.

The other thing is, because you're dealing with awareness centers, because you are dealing with centers that are fear centers, there is an a fear that can exist here. In other words, it's neither an afraid or not afraid. It's too stupid to know it SHOULD be afraid. I don't mean that to be insulting.

You know. It's just like me in my open sacral. I am neither available nor not available. But I'm too stupid to know what availability is! You know, it just doesn't work!It's beyond either or.

I mean it's just simply beyond that. It swims around. It doesn't really HOOK! And so there is a real advantage if you're ok. But it's not an advantage if you're lost in a resistance world. And people who are dealing with a lot of resistance, if you have a totally open center, it really becomes the source of your dilemmas. It really does. And so for someone with the undefined splenic system, it isn't about if holding onto somebody is bad for them or not. They may not even recognise that they're actually holding on to anything! It's not their theme! And they don't have a theme in it!

You know, the moment you've got a splene and and you've got a gate, you already have a theme for you holding on to bad things.

You know, if you've got the 28th gate, your theme is: I'm holding on, because when I'm through this, I'll find purpose. I'm holding onto this terrible thing, because you see that in the 28.2, you know, shake hands with the devil. I'm holding onto this terrible thing, because it's gonna bring me my purpose. You already have a theme!

But when you have a center that has no activations, there is no theme. So it's a difference.

And again, you know, part of what we're gonna do always, in terms of analysis, and we're gonna see that when we get to the keynoting part of this program, is that we need to have point and counterpoint.

You know, yes, we need to see definition. Yes, we need to see activations. Yes, we need to be able to layer that. But at the same time we also need to be able to see what's not there.

We also have to know the value, the power, the impact of what's not there. So that ultimately, by the time we get down to doing keynoting, we can bring these things into balance.

Here is what's there as a keynote, here is what's not there as a keynote. And so you get to see the juxtaposed forces.”
