GATE 2

Gate 2 - Direction of the Self

Located in the G Center, the energetic core of love, direction and identity.

Gate 2 is called many names - Allowing -The Way of Orientation - all based on the energy of this gate being the receptive - yin of feminine energy.

This is what can take us into the shadow - Richard Rudd calls it Dislocation - I think of it as Disorientation, we believe we are looking inside at our gifts and strengths, but we are not oriented to receiving.

As a result we are simply “busy” doing, fixing, and caretaking things that are not ours - exhausting ourselves, and often those around us.

It reminds me of an experience I had in childhood

...around a “grown up” party game.

I didn’t understand the game at all as a young child. But there is a reason it stuck with me all these years… this is how it played out…

All the women went into a room and were asked to come out one at a time. The rules of the game were “secret” my younger sister and I were told.

The men were waiting in the Living Room - with a blanket.

As each woman came out, she was instructed to sit in the middle of the floor. She was told they would place a blanket over her head. They had chosen something that they wanted her to take off. If she figured out what that was and took it off, she won the game.

None of the women figured it out. Why? Because the allusion was that the woman needed to “Undress.”

But the truth was - it was the blanket. All she had to take off was the blanket.

This is how our mind works however. We go to a place of familiarity - even at high cost.

Points to Contemplate:

  • Where in my life am I trying to force clarity instead of allowing it to emerge?

  • What would it feel like to trust the next step, even if the full plan isn’t visible?

  • Have I been silencing or dismissing my inner knowing in favor of logic, strategy, or others’ opinions?

  • If I stopped trying to figure it out, what would I naturally be drawn toward?

GATE 2 DIRECTION OF THE SELF

SHADOW

in its shadow …

THIS GATE BRINGS THE ENERGY OF CONFUSION, DISORIENTATION, OR AN OVERWHELMING PRESSURE TO “FIGURE IT ALL OUT". WHEN ALL ALONG, YOU HAVE THE ANSWER. IT JUST SEEMS TOO SIMPLE, TOO EASY.

THE ENERGY OF THIS GATE MAY LEAD YOU TO FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING - THAT SOMEHOW, AT THIS STAGE OF LIFE, YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A MAP.

BUT THIS GATE DOESN’T WORK WITH MAPS. IT WORKS WITH TRUST. AND WHEN TRUST IS DIFFICULT TO ACCESS, THE RESULT IS OFTEN PANIC, INERTIA, OR CHASING SOMEONE ELSE’S PATH BECAUSE YOU CAN’T SEE YOUR OWN.

THERE’S A DEEP GRIEF THAT COMES WITH NOT KNOWING - AND NOT BEING ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY.

EMOTIONAL IMPACT

The Gift -Allowing

It is ironic that we fight the Gift of this of Gate 2. It is truly a gift - the openness to receiving.

This is not sitting back and waiting on things to just line up and come to you. It is not a passive, do-nothing way — on the contrary. I feel this is one of the most challenging things we can learn to do - surrender - in a way that allows clarity to arrive without force.

When this energy is honored, you feel a shift to your inner voice. You begin to feel aligned with something larger than logic. You stop pushing. You start listening.

This is the ultimate quiet power — the ability to follow your own internal navigation system, even when the road isn’t visible to anyone else.

This is where direction becomes devotion

1. Create spaciousness for intuitive direction.

Gate 2 is about feminine receptivity — not passivity, but a deep inner alignment that allows direction to arise organically. Instead of pushing, allow. Create white space in your schedule. Rest. Walk. Journal. Clarity will come when you stop looking for it and start listening to it.

2. Trust that you don’t need to know the entire path.

This gate teaches that you don’t need the whole map to begin — just the next right step. When Gate 2 is activated, the “how” isn’t your job. The “what” and “why” are. Follow what feels right even if you can’t explain it yet.

THE HIGHEST EXPRESSION

IN IT’S HIGHEST EXPRESSION, GATE 2 BECOMES A BEACON - A STILL POINT THAT RADIATES EFFORTLESS GUIDANCE. THIS IS THE ENERGY OF ALIGNMENT WITHOUT NEEDING EXPLANATION. YOU BECOME THE EMBODIMENT OF DIRECTION, NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PLAN, BUT BECAUSE YOU’VE STOPPED BETRAYING YOUR OWN RESONANCE. OTHERS FEEL IT. YOU FEEL IT. AND THE WORLD BEGINS TO SHAPE ITSELF AROUND YOUR CERTAINTY.

Final Thoughts

This is not a week to force clarity. It’s a week to move gently. To create space. To let your body show you where yes lives. One practice: slow down long enough to notice when something pulls you forward versus drags you under. One truth: direction isn’t always loud. Sometimes it whispers.
