Gate 5 — Waiting — The Miracle of Natural Rhythm

Full breakdown

Fundamental attunement to natural rhythms. Waiting as an active state of awareness.

Gate 5 is the gate of Waiting. The 5/15 channel is universal to every form of life on this planet. Rhythm is the miracle of being — the miracle of life itself. Every time I work with people who have gate 5, I tell them the same thing: "Pay attention to your life, and once you can spot your natural rhythm, make it permanent." If you happen to notice that every day at four o'clock you love taking a siesta and need an hour to rest, and you've realized that this rhythm matters for your life — fix it, turn it into a ritual, make it a habit. For concentration to work, you need the right patterns. When you understand that this is your ritual, that this is your natural rhythm, then you're using your energy the right way. For gate 5, it's very important to hold to rituals, to recognize your natural rhythms and lock them in. In this form of waiting, fixing your natural rhythm is itself an active state of awareness. It isn't awareness in itself, but it's one of its forms. When you follow your natural, constant rhythm, everything becomes possible, because the energy flows correctly. And when the energy is right, everything becomes possible within the logical process.
