HEXAGRAM 39 OBSTRUCTION
Possibly my most favorite part of my Design is this Gate 💕
“We move to the 39th gate and we come to the individual process.
Whenever we are dealing with the stream of Emoting, whenever we are dealing with this individual stream that operates through the solar plex system, we know that this is the stream in which we are going to have the metamorphosis or the mutation taking place that will open up the potential to release the spirit consciousness that lies within the solar plex system.
We know that the event itself is keyed to the 55th hexagram, to the sixth line. Keep in mind that the 55.6 is a potential which operates correctly when it is being fueled by the 39th gate.
The 39th gate, as a fuel, is going to make its contribution to this metamorphosis that is going to take place inour emotional process.
The 39th gate is the gate of Obstruction, and it is the gate of provocation.
It is the energy to provoke or not. In sexual terms, this theme is about teasing. This energy provokes in order to find the right spirit.
This is one of the gates that could be best understood through the negative.
That is, provocation is there to find out who can not be provoked. If you try to provoke somebody and they are not provoked, that spirit is correct for you.
If you can provoke somebody, that spirit is not correct for you.
The provocation tries to find the right potential for that fuel to feed, to find the right spirit.
All of that can be very confusing because the 55 is in the wave. What appears to be the right spirit on Monday will not be the right spirit on Tuesday.
In the archetype of how this gate functions, the provocation is
there to find the right spirit because, once linked to the correct spirit, there is the potential to emote, the potential to bring out the individual spirit and the capacity to bring mutation to manifestation, to bring it to everything else.
The individual is responsible for mutation in the plan. This is inherent in their design.
You also have to see that there is no metamorphosis of the emotional system other than through the individual process.
The individual can only have impact on the tribe or the collective when it is truly in the right spirit, what most people confuse with the term 'enlightenment.'
Most people confuse this pathway with this term.
The individual mutative force that is in the right mood, this spirit is infectious because it is there to move the mutation through the totality.
The energy mechanic is the impulse which is rooted in the 3/60, in the pulsing energy to eat. It is about what you eat.
One of my favorite statements for 39's is when somebody comes into your life, imagine if you have to eat with them.
Would you really like to eat with them? 39's know that better than anybody else.
Adults never really get that, but if you ask children about the people around them, "Who do you want to eat with?" this is very revealing because they tell you spontaneously.
If you look at this stream and you look at the 12th gate which says caution and meditation in the face of temptation, you see that the 12th gate manifests the individual process in the throat.
It is the gate of caution. It is important to withstand the temptation to do. It is better to meditate and back away from acting.
In the 39, we find the fuel for this process.
The heading above the lines says: The value of obstruction in provoking analysis, assessment and reevaluation. It is the very fuel for that caution.
That is what provoking is all about.
Provoking is a deeply selective process.
It is a very important process.
What is so difficult for people who carry this energy is that, because they automatically are provocative, and given the nature of the world, they get so many people who are provoked by them.
Because they are not the right spirit (not everybody is the right spirit),
these people end up disliking the very value, the very essence of what they are.
All of these themes can be seen in the first line in the foundation.
What is successful in provocation once, in terms of the spirit, may not be the next time due to the emotional wave on the other side.
The 39 people themselves have to recognize why they are provoking.
The 39 is a fuel, and it is not aware.
So, they realize that they provoke naturally, and if they accept that, what they are only looking for is for the response of people who are not provoked by them (what I call the right spirit).
In other words, if you have a certain kind of habit, like if you like to tap your feet while you are eating and you have somebody sitting beside you, and every time you are tapping your feet, the other person starts going "Ahem."
This means that you are provoking them; thus they do not have the right spirit. Don't eat with them. If somebody else is there and doesn't mind your tapping, then you have found the right spirit. Period.
It is not sophisticated. It is simply the recognition that those aspects of your nature are provocative to some.
Only the people to whom it is not provocative are for you. To provoke “efficiently" comes back to your own recognition.
If you carry the 39 energy within you, you have to recognize that people who are not provoked by you, in whatever situation, are right for you in that moment, in that time.
They carry the right spirit. They may not next time because this energy is directed to the emotional field, to the wave.
So, it may work one moment and may not work the next.
What you do discover over time is who is generally always provoked and who is generally not always provoked by you. Then you have succeeded.
The whole success for a 39 is to keep on provoking. In order to be yourself, you have to be provocative with the recognition why the provocation is there so that you are not uncomfortable when people do not like your trip.
The worst thing for any individual is somebody who says, "I don't like the way you are doing that. Change it."
This is very difficult for provocative people because they will always have people around telling them,
"Don't provoke me." This is like telling the sun not to shine. They 39's are what they are and that is their beauty.
So many gates have ways of deeply knowing what is correct for them. It is in their genetics. The gift of the 39 is to provoke.
Otherwise, we do not have a way to get enough people together who are carrying a good spirit. The good spirit comes from acceptance, like in The Troubleshooter; the wisdom of a 39 saying, "That is where the problem is," this being a provocation.
If you are a problem-solver and you have people in your life who accept your advice, that is the right spirit for you.
If they don't accept your advice,
they are not the right spirit for you.
The Martian people in the 39 try to insist that others respect their advice. The key to 39 is to continuously provoke.
I continue to shock people. It is my design. You have to continue to be what you are. It is just the recognition of the value of these things.
Of all people that I know, 39's are the most uncomfortable with the nature of their energy because they do not like the negative results of their provocation.
Too bad; this is the only way to learn.”
PS Pics after this first one are my Gate 39 and John’s Gate 55 and our electromatics together (all in the lower 1/2 of the bodygraph) - we are constantly provoking and looking for the spirit in each other 🙃 and it do be needing a break at times. That’s when my 3rd line that easily breaks and makes bonds steps into the arena 😋
