I was walking along the seaside, on a beautiful, sunny spring day, trying to get a glimpse of some sea lions. I had a binocular that was rather useless, but in the end, any reason to get out of the house and somewhere near nature is a good reason. And as I was walking, I saw some steps that were going down the seashore and looked like going straight into the water. The investigator in me had to find out what exactly I was seeing, and how come, why were those stairs there. So, I forgot about the sea lions and went straight there. Indeed, there were these concrete stairs, with a steel handrail. They looked sturdy, complete and on purposely mounted there. However, their end went directly under the water, and there was algae everywhere, so I couldn’t see if and where they ended. For sure, they ended at some point, but even though the water was crystal clear, I could not see much.

I felt an urge to go one step further, try out and see how deep the stairs went. The water seemed nice, but on a second thought, it was still April, and the water barely gets to 20⁰C in August. The car was rather far away, so a wet walk back to it was out of the question. I kept staring at it for a few good minutes, with my had spinning around the reasons why it was there and what was it intended for. The curiosity was high, but the means were not there, so I had to just accept it as I saw it and move on.

Looking again at the stairs’ picture, back home, a revelation came to my mind: so, this is how a channel made out of conscious and unconscious gates looks like! You can clearly see its beginning, you see what it is and what it is made out of, on the conscious side everything is visible, out in the open, but on the other side, the design one, you can only imagine and assume based on the visible portion. It is there, it continues, just that it is no longer accessible in an easy way to the mind. The unconscious gate is one of faith, where things are rather left to work as hoped for. The only thing you can do with an unconscious gate is to believe in its direction and try to get glimpses of it. You can try to dive in the subconscious, and there are numerous ways to do that, however your mind will always have to translate in a comprehensible way what it has just seen. The subconscious, the design, is not plain and simple for the mind, it doesn’t speak to it in a direct language, but rather in a symbol encrypted way.

I had this question in my mind for some while now, about these double-sided channels. I read a lot about completely conscious or completely unconscious channels, but no clear information about the combined ones. How did they act like, how did they feel like and how exactly do they manifest in our lives?

I have two channels like this so I was more than interested to see what they meant and how they could be used. One of them is 9-52, the Concentration Channel. Gate 9 is defined on the personality side, while I have the 52 on the design. I can multitask, contrary to some texts that I read, but I have to thank to some extra design for that and sometimes even to my not-self. I can multitask only when I have already done that job lots of times before, when it is a repetitive action, a no-brainer that puts my mind to rest more than to work. But I remember about my University years and a subject very dear to me: The Theory of Elasticity and Plasticity. The level of mathematical calculations could have been easily compared with rocket science! It wasn’t about rockets, but it rocked my mind an entire semester. It was very much in the research direction, splitting an element into thousands of pieces and understanding every bit of it. Turning and testing everything on all sides, going more in the depth of the material, and testing it again to see how much could be loaded on it. My 5/1 profile and my mind loved this! I solved all the extracurricular problems, did all the extra homework, and started learning for the exam. And I remember now, how I would sit still for 3-4 hours in a row, being totally absorbed in the process, with nobody around me, no noise, no radio, nothing else in my sight except for the papers and the drawings. After studying, I would suddenly get so tired and sleepy, that my body would just faint to sleep then and there, with my head on the desk. After 30-45 minutes of deep, refreshing, sleep, I would be able to go on with studying, for another couple of hours, before I would fall asleep again. I didn’t even remember to eat that much, it was as if my mind was totally absorbed in the learning and calculating process that it wasn’t even there, in the body, anymore. I was not aware how I would have looked like from the outside, because I was not aware of my capability to stay still for such a long time, if the subject was interesting enough. I just knew I had to focus on the subject but had no clue on how my body would comply with being so taken out of the picture. Probably it was finally getting some rest from all the previous multi-tasking!

There is saying: whenever the question is asked, the answer is there. I had a question, and this stair was there 🙂
