The Illusion of Incompleteness
From Laetitia -
✨ Any undefined gate can create a sense of incompleteness for Mindy ✨
“You look at your Design. Look at the gates that are hanging there in the centers [blue arrows].
Now, there you have something to look at. They're hanging there from those centers and you can imagine them as some kind of lounge lizard with its tongue dangling waiting, breathlessly, longing for the other side.
Those gates where you have activation and you don't have anything on the other side; there is always this thing there. This illusion of incompleteness, this illusion that something is missing and I have to have it.
And if I don't get it then there's something wrong with me, so I want it. Look at those gates you have hanging, look at what's at the other end. “I want it. It should be mine, I deserve it. I need it, I'm going to chase after it, and I'm going to make it happen.””

✏️ This is one of the most basic principles of mapping the not-self, of understanding our openness. There are however, quite some differences depending on where the gates are, whether the active gate on the other side is hanging or dormant, for example, or where in the bodygraph it is located.
When you look at bridges for example, we speak about the hierarchy of the openness that is conditioning the not-self.
