‘The root of awareness. The 50th gate is, in that sense, where all awareness is nurtured because it is, like the sixth gate, a gate of fusion. It fuses all the processes that are going through the splenic center: the stream of taste, the collective logical process, the stream of intuition, the individual process and the stream of instinct, the tribal process. Each of those three streams is rooted in the 50th gate which produces an awareness frequency. The sixth gate produces an emotional wave. There are six of them.
These six awareness frequencies are at the beginning of our awareness process and literally the root of it. The 50th gate, The Cauldron (a nice image, this big melting pot of all these different possibilities), is the gate of values which establishes the law within the tribe, which, in essence, is the law and the values of our cultures and our civilization. This is our oldest and most ancient awareness. Here, in the 50th gate are the frequencies that lead to what we call awareness.
The gate of values. The potential here is to be responsible, or not. Every single gate out of the splenic system is a gate of primal fear. The primary fear of the 50th gate and the fear that is at the heart of all awareness is the fear of responsibility. The potential here is to be responsible or not, and the awareness potential is values. This is the tribal law giver. The laws of the tribe are rooted in this existential awareness. This is the channel of the law. It establishes the law in the tribe, in the community and in the culture. One of the things to recognize very clearly in the way in which we come together in our civilization is that this is all being dictated by the frequencies that originate in this 50th gate: the world we live in, the lives that we share with each other and the way that we share those lives.’

Biology
Innate Immune System
Components of the Innate Immune System
- Physical barriers: Skin, mucous membranes, and cilia
- Chemical barriers: Antimicrobial peptides, enzymes, and acidic secretions
- Cells:
- White blood cells (leukocytes): neutrophils, macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells
- Platelets
- Complement system: A series of proteins that activate and destroy pathogens
How the Innate Immune System Works
Recognition: Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on immune cells detect conserved patterns on pathogens, called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).
Activation: PRR binding triggers a cascade of events, leading to cell activation and cytokine release.
Effector functions:
- Phagocytes (neutrophils and macrophages) engulf and destroy pathogens.
- NK cells kill infected cells and tumor cells by recognizing a lack of ‘self’ markers, or an overabundance of ‘non-self’ proteins. (I love this terminology!)
- Complement proteins form a membrane attack complex to lyse pathogens.
- Cytokines recruit and activate other immune cells and stimulate inflammation.
The Innate Immune System provides immediate protection against infection, initiates the adaptive immune response, clears away dead cells and debris, and prevents the spread of pathogens throughout the body.
Potential
To be responsible or not. A fusion of the three streams of splenic awareness (taste, intuition, and instinct).
Gate 50 is the master gate of the spleen, representing the core of the way it operates. As the root of intelligence, it fuses the three splenic streams into an awareness that guides the defense circuit (the only awareness that directly contributes to the tribe).
50 is the tribal law maker that establishes what principles of care are necessary for the group. As part of the defense circuit, this side (27-50) is about how we nurture our children into adulthood. It establishes its values in the now by generating our ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs,’ which then become the source of moral conditioning for children.
‘We did not sit down in conclaves and decide at the mental level what was right and wrong. What is right and what is wrong is determined extistentially in the now. Period.’

Cross of Planning Application
Once we establish our values, we can be perceived as responsible by following them. However, our values change in the now, so anything that has been established as a long-term law can become obsolete or incorrect in the blink of an eye.
For example, many company leaders have embraced and implemented AI systems within their organizations. They’ve been conditioned by values that promote efficient, cost-cutting innovation because it helps them remain competitive. But unfortunately, information moves fast today, and their splenic values can change instantly. Existential awareness can be very confusing when their own mind expects them to ‘be responsible’ by upholding their own established values.
They might know that they have to roll back on AI, and that can be completely correct for them and their company, but they still run the risk of being labeled irresponsible.
In reality, companies that stand against AI are gaining traction. The collective continues to dig up and share information about the unsustainability and irresponsibility of using AI, and their voices matter because they are the consumer.
Check out what brands like Polaroid and Heineken had to say about AI in their marketing this week.
The Cauldron
The cauldron is full of the laws and values of cultures and civilizations. The foundation is called the immigrant, because an immigrant comes to a new land with the ability to fill their cauldron. They can begin the process of learning a new place, gaining values, and earning the resulting success.
The etymology for the word “cauldron” comes from Latin, originating with caldārius, meaning “hot”. This evolved into Late Latin caldāria (“cooking pot”) and then into Anglo-Norman French cauderon, which became the Middle English word caudron or cauldron in the 14th century.
Speaking of ‘hot,’ the values produced by this gate define when and how we defend ourselves. I love the natural killer cells of the innate immune system because they recognize ‘non-self’ cells and destroy them by releasing enzymes that induce a self-destruct sequence in the target cell.
NK cells are a perfect representation of this gate. It’s like a father who, frustrated by the futility of explanation, allows his son to go into the world to gain the experience that will annihilate his ignorance. NK cells are also linguistically ironic for HD experimenters, because inner authority helps us respond to not-self humans and experiences from a place of alignment and protection.
Fear of Responsibility
Humans without inner authority can run very hot from this gate. They can become violent in their defense of what they think is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ because they are controlled by the mind. They do not accept that humans do not know what they do, and they blame themselves and others for Life and the things that happen.
The fear of responsibility generally looks like the inability to be accountable for one’s actions, – or – being overwhelmed by the perceived responsibilities of life and taking care of those they love. It locks us out of individual creativity, which hinders the ability to uphold values or provide for the tribe in the first place.
It’s not even our job to hold ourselves together, yet everyone’s shoulders are up to their ears because they think it’s their responsibility lol. But, taking true responsibility is as simple as being able to communicate what you witness, because you are passenger consciousness and that is your only job – to witness as yourself.
Corruption is the inability to witness as yourself, which automatically disrupts the ability to communicate what has been seen. This fear skews what is happening from the inside because the mind assumes that it already knows what is happening, and in its assumption, misses what happens altogether, including the body’s response.
If we can help the mind grow in its ability to witness and communicate, it will gladly accept its responsibility and stop attempting to control things that it’s not here to control.
Group Evolution
Groups made up of individuals rooted in their own authority create true order as agents of Life’s self-organization. They know that individual integrity is the foundation of every tribe. They allow each human to contribute from their uniqueness, without the need to control themselves or each other, which allows the space necessary to take responsibility. Each member trusts Life, self, and others, creating balance and harmony as both individual and group needs can be met. Groups with authority will end our desperate scramble to maintain outdated hierarchies, while failing to care for ourselves and each other. And let’s not forget that a hierarchy is a hierarchy, whether it’s a father to child or boss to employee.
As a key gate in our wellbeing, gate 50 has shown me that it’s becoming more vital by the day to embrace and allow individual inner authority. I feel the Sleeping Phoenix will demand it, and the tribe is attempting to accept this transition.
You can ask yourself:
- Can I watch life without narrating it?
- Does my mind allow spontaneous knowing about what is right or wrong now? Do I act on it?
- Do I repress my creativity and individuality to maintain perceptions within a hierarchy?
- Do I recognize and trust Life’s organization?
- Do the groups that I participate in value individuals and their inherent authority?
Have you had any interesting events involving the concept of ‘responsibility’ over the last 6 days?
What are you holding onto about it? Can you let it go?
