8-1 Channel & individual expression
“The 8-1’s Contribution is Expressing Individual Evolutionary Direction
There is a very powerful verbal gift here and they are the real expression, along with the 43-23, the 23rd gate and the 8th gate, they’re the real expression of individual processes.
The 23 expressing the individual mind where the 8 expresses the individual evolutionary direction. That’s what that contribution is all about.
So think about what happens to somebody with the 8-1 when they don’t mutate somebody else.
They’re bitter. They’re just bitter.
“I gave them all this good stuff.”
And of course the moment you’ve got an 8-1, what you have if it’s a pure projected element is a verbal gunslinger. You have somebody who talks first.
The moment that you have somebody whose Throat is connected to the G Center and they’re speaking first, you know that they’ve worked for half an hour beforehand to figure out what they want to say.
And then finally they blurt it out and it’s not what they wanted to say and then they’re in trouble.
The other thing is the gift is to be able to explain oneself.
Now, what happens to most people when they try to control their speaking from the mental plane is that they focus on one pattern or one structure.
In other words, they say, “I’m going to explain it this way. I’m going to talk about this, and this, and this, and this.”
And they think that’s going to be successful for them in being able to explain themselves, when in fact, the recognition that they need is not about their pet explanation.
The recognition that they need is for their capacity to explain—to explain.
What that means is when somebody comes up to them and initiates them, somebody comes up to them and says, “What do you think about the Kosovar situation?” blah, blah, blah.
In that moment that they get initiated, that’s the moment that they have real power. That’s the moment that they have influence.
Now, the fact of the matter is that they weren’t prepared for that question. They were prepared for something else.
But you see, they’re designed to be explainers and their real recognition comes not from trying to tell somebody their favorite explanation, but waiting to be respected as an explainer so that eventually they’re going to be asked for their pet.
It’s all about being able to explain.
Somebody with the Self connected to the Throat can never figure out, can never organize, can never plan what their explanation’s going to be.
They can’t. It’s not about that.
It’s about realizing that you’re there to explain and that basically you can explain just about anything —just about anything— IF you wait to be recognized. If you wait to be asked—whatever the program happens to be.”
