If you have a gate defined (either red, black or a combination of the two) it means you have consistent access to this energy either as a gift or as a lesson to learn. If it is black (or a combination of red + black) this is part of your conscious energy and probably something you’re more aware of than if it’s all red. All energy has the potential to be low vibration or high vibration. When we are in our shadows it is because we have not yet transformed that energy into its gift state. I have put next to the description whether the energy is generated, projected or manifested. This can change with some of them depending on whether or not it’s part of a channel (defined all the way through to the center on the other side) or a hanging gate (not part of a channel). There is a lot of projected energy possible in our charts whether we are a projector or not and I think it can be super helpful to know where this lives and where we may need to wait for recognition or the invitation there even if we are not “Projectors”. Here are the energetic flavors represented:

Projected: Wait for the invitation and/or recognition for optimal expression of these energies / to be in the most flow.

Generated: Wait to respond to something in your outer environment + listen for your Sacral response (and/or your correct authority) to move forward in these energies. If you’re an Emotional Authority (your Solar Plexus is defined) then wait to ride your emotional wave.

Manifested: Inform the people who will be affected before you take action.

SHADOWS, GIFTS + HIGH VIBES

In contemplating the gifts and high vibrations you can bring them more into focus, into embodied reality. And, I think by pondering what they mean to you, letting them marinate, you can find great meaning. Similar to dream work or tarot it’s important to think about how they hit us individually. There are many interpretations of these energies dating back to the I’Ching, find yours, find where it resonates in your being, what words and tools are your doorway in. If you want to dive much deeper into the nuances of each energy, I highly recommend this book. You would read the key with the same gate number.

The Shadow is the low vibration we want to transmute in this life. The gift is the frequency we’re moving into. Our Shadow is the seed of our transformation, through its transmutation we embody the heart centered wisdom of the Gift. When we accept and integrate our shadow we open the door for all manner of new creativity, purpose and possibility in our life. We literally change our DNA. The highest vibrations are considered enlightened states, it is not something we seek to attain but by simply contemplating the highest vibration as a possibility for ourselves, holding that space, we operate less from shadow and move more and more into the high vibe energies.

Check out The Meeting Ground to explore the gates that have the most profound influence in your chart. This is plenty of information here for you to deeply contemplate and find the truth for you (if you do not choose to purchase the above recommended book). I recommend bringing the low vibrations/shadows of these Gates through Deconditioning. And, additionally, looking for ways to support each individual gift energy, like working with or creating a new affirmation. Look to all of the other supportive content inside The Collective (like Energetics) for supportive allies on your journey.

These are the elements (with the focus of The Meeting Ground) that I have found most fascinating, informative, and healing on my own journey and I can’t wait to see how they serve you, as they continue to serve me. This is life work, we will always be peeling back layers, finding deeper awareness and greater well being, should we choose.

The Gates include the Keynote that Ra Uru Hu channeled in quotes under the name of the Gate. These words are initiations, see how they land with you. And, I will keep the quotes in italics from The Kwan Yin Book of Changes referenced in the footer.

I’m always adding new support to Gates so check back in as you circle back around in your exploration. I’m always doing more research and finding more allies + ways to pull threads and support the exploration of these energies. It is ever evolving. ;)

Quoted Resource in italics: Diane Stein, The Kwan Yin Book of Changes
This is a book focused on the feminine, matriarchal, Mother Earth lens of these energies as so much is interpreted through the masculine and patriarchal POV... I believe it gives a nice balance. That being said, all language can be imbibed in whatever way serves you. It is not all meant to be taken literally. Associations laid out below.

Wisewoman: sage, scholar, healer (Crone or Hermit in Tarot)
Priestess: channel and liaison to Goddess (High Priestess in Tarot)
Mother: mother, leader (Empress in Tarot)
Daughter: a woman seeking wisdom from another woman (The Fool in Tarot)
Spiritual Woman/Superior Woman: all of us, women who seek deeply
Matriarchy: all women, community, sum of her parts, fate creators (The World in Tarot)
