SELF
Without awakening, self is always a duality and struggles between the true (nature) and Not-Self (nurture or conditioning). Self can only truly be experienced as differentiated uniqueness.
The Self manifests out of the G center. This center is the core of our separateness and at the same time our connection to the totality. The G center has eight gates. The Higher Self is silent but out of these gates it can find expression. These gates form two great crosses in the zodiac.
The four oppositions and their keynotes:
1. 1 / The Creative - Self-expression; 2 / Receptive - Direction of the Self
2. 7 / The Army - The role of the Self in interaction; 13 / Fellowship of Man - The Openness of the Self in interaction
3. 46 / Pushing Upward - The Determination of the Self; 25 / Innocence - The Spirit of the Self
4. 10 / Treading - The Behavior of the Self; 15 / Modesty - The Rhythm of the Self
