The other thing is the mysterious pull, the genetic imperative. This genetic imperative to be attracted to what one is not. Let’s take the example again, because it’s a nice one, of this 16th gate. The 16th gate operates unconsciously so this person has to it. Somebody comes along with the 48th gate and makes an electromagnetic connection, this dynamic of attraction and repulsion, this spark. Here you have depth meeting skill in the Channel of Talent, and this person is mysteriously pulled into that. And yet, all along they don’t know why. They don’t know what’s pulling them to that. And in many ways they do not even know how they’re being influenced, they are simply attracted to that force.

Of course, it becomes something that the mind gets disturbed about. And when the mind gets disturbed, which is every other second in most human beings, then the first thing it does is explore the not-self for some kind of reason in order to make a decision that has nothing to do with anything. Oh, the sweet dilemma of what it is to be ignorant.
