But it’s these qualities that begin to give you a real insight into the way in which these things are communicated. And of course, it’s being communicated by a not-self mind that’s doing it strategically in order to be able to improve its own life. The same thing is true of the abstract. That is, the 35th gate, perhaps one of the most powerful voices that we have, literally. It is the gate of progress, it is the expression of the experiential way in the Throat, it is the voice of I feel or I don’t feel, and it’s “I feel good because…” or “I don’t feel good because…” or whatever the case may be.

But its voice, because this is the experiential way this is one of the most important voices we have, this encourage/discourage voice. This voice that can encourage you to keep on dealing with the program, that life is what it is, but keep on, to encourage you to continue in the process; or to discourage you, to encourage you to go into something, or to discourage you.

But the same thing is always true of quality. It’s not the words. The words can be the same. “It’s quite an adventure,” can be said by the 35. And it can say that encouragingly or discouragingly and it’s just the same thing, it’s the same words. And they will have a totally different effect. Obviously, the moment that you have a Throat gate that’s open to the emotional system, it’s open to the volatility of the impact of the emotional conditioning on that voice.

And of course, we know that emotional voices, when they’re connected to the Solar Plexus Center, are voices that are going to roll through their particular binary, being encouraging voices when the wave is sustaining it and discouraging when it’s not. Again it’s about the same things, usually about the same person.

It’s one of the things you see sexually in terms of the difference between the 12 and the 35, the 12 says it didn’t work between you and I because of me, and the 35 says it didn’t work between you and I because of you. And that encouraging and discouraging can be devastating or could be enormously productive. And of course, as long as it’s tied to the emotional wave of the not-self you know what’s going to happen. The same person will get both the encouraging and discouraging voice depending on the situation.
