I thought this was an interesting play on words from the Yi...

I decided I want to use half of my vacation next year to do an intensive retreat at The Monroe Institute. The retreat is Robert Monroe’s original, flagship program on the “exploration of human consciousness” called, “Gateway Voyage.” It’s a foundational course, using brain-wave entrainment and meditation-like techniques to explore deeper dimensions of consciousness.

If I book 6 months out, I save $400. So I found two dates that put me in that range. Unsure of which one to choose, I asked Yi:

“Gateway in April?”

Yi: 36.4>55

“Entering into the left belly,
Catching the heart of brightness hidden.
And going out through the gate from the courtyard.”

I took this as a definitive “yes!” I’ve heard the use of the word “arrow” as what’s “entering into the left belly.” We can focus much like an arrow with our consciousness. I feel like to catch “the heart of brightness hidden” is like being able to use consciousness in a more self-actualized way, with purpose and more mastery. The heart of brightness hidden could be consciousness itself or spirit. “Going out through the gate from the courtyard” sounds like consciousness moving into another dimension, such as consciousness that is generally localized to this reality and frequency moves beyond it to another.

From wikiwing:

“Another choice to go into the dark, this time perhaps by way of emotions and ‘gut feelings’. A story: going into the darkest place, getting to the heart of the thing – maybe both what threatens the light and the nature of the hidden light itself – and getting out again. Taking what you grasped at the heart of things, maybe motivated by it. Often the escape itself is key: the most important thing is to get out of this dark place unscathed.

36 zhi Hexagram 55: the decisive moment. Voluntarily enter into the darkness to apprehend the heart of it; decisively take this new awareness out into the world.“

55 has a zenith-like feel—seeing from a higher vantage point or a larger perspective. Dekorne calls it “Expansion of Awareness.”

The fan yao, 55.4, adds an interesting layer.

From wikiwing:

“At Feng you are screened
Sun at noon, seeing the Dipper.
Meeting your hidden lord,
Good fortune.'

“It's dark, but you can see the Dipper - including the pole star. You can orient yourself.

Meeting your hidden lord, your Yi lord - as in the name of Hexagram 36, Ming Yi, Brightness Hidden/Wounded. A hidden lord: someone/ something from the dark, not an obvious ally, something you fear.“

All of 55.4’s “experiences” in wikiwing are really insightful. Rosada has a really interesting take on this line that makes it feel a bit synchronistic for me:

“I was curious about the work of Abraham Maslow, the psychologist who is particularly known for his Hierarchy of Needs table which describes the needs a person must fulfill before they can "self-actualize" as in become the creative person they were meant to be. His work caught my interest when I recognized that his various "levels" corresponded to the chakras. I asked the I Ching what was Maslow's core message or insight, what did he intend his work contribute? I received 55.4 - 36 - again an example of this hexagram line describing a doctor who shows what needs to be healed.” (Rosada)


I just had a flash of insight that connects “gateway” and consciousness with the Law of One material’s information on “the gateway to intelligent infinity.” I just had this image of its location in the third eye or crown, which brought me back to 36.4’s leaving the gate[way] through the courtyard. I see an image of a soul or consciousness opening the door or leaving the gateway of intelligent infinity to higher realms—in that, opening this gateway is a major step in the spiritual path of awakening.

Concerning chakras and “levels,” the 4th line is the place of the heart; entering the left belly is either the sacral or solar plexus chakras; and leaving the gate from the courtyard is the third eye or crown chakra.

36.4 also gave me the idea that maybe some part of me may be actualized or healed. Or maybe I might discover hidden talents through exploration of different dimensions of consciousness. Maybe through this training I would be “catching the heart of brightness hidden,” which might be the infinite intelligence of the Infinite Creator.

All food for thought. Just wanted to add this to the record. After the retreat, I’ll have an even better idea of what this means and will update.

If anyone is interested in the Law of One material’s search index, you can find it here:

You can search “intelligent infinity” or even certain historical figures, like FDR or Hitler.

Well my first thought is you uncover that this Ra is a crook, a fake, posturing as someone or something he isn't and you leave when you find that out.


I mean who is he really ?

Spiritual experiences aren't really goals in themselves, they are by products and from what I can see in 5 minutes is these people are hooked on spiritual experiences. I don't blame them, it's enjoyable but I don't know if it really is growth it could just be a trap of a kind.

Also if it's only accessible to people who can pay up a lot of money how genuine is it ?

Hey Trojina,

Thanks for the reply. Ra has nothing to do with the Gateway Voyage. I was just making inferences from studies concerning the gateway to infinite intelligence, because of the play on words. The Monroe Institute leads this program. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and Barbara Brennan both supported this. KB isn’t alive anymore. Brennan has written on this. These modalities have actually come out in CIA top secret releases. All verified for their validity. I’ll have to find the site to share when I have my iPad. 30 pages of material on the Gateway Voyage, including scientific explanations. I add that not to prove anything. I only shared because of the use of the word “gate” and the Yi reading.

And you’d have to read all the material to make a sound judgment on the Ra material. Ra is actually a social memory collective. I believe the channelings are definitely real and actually happened.

Yes I think the problem is nowadays everyone in the street is claiming to channel something or another, and I mean that literally so when I read this


“I am Ra. The Law of One, though beyond the limitations of name, as you call vibratory sound complexes, may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the Infinite Creator"

I thought it was just another one and the trademark is when they say things like "..name, as you call vibratory sound complexes..." as if the being they are channelling doesn't know what a name is . But I see this was done years before channelling became a widespread hobby.

There is of course on our earth plane most certainly right and wrong, don't have to look far to see that and the whole philosophy of 'there is no wrong' I would think came into or feeds the darker side shall we say and I would be suspicious of.


But as you say I'd have to read much more than that to judge for myself.

Hi thisismybody,

"Gateway in April?"
36.4 to 55 ~ Jackpot! A healthy, balanced ego is strong enough to let itself go.

Two of my friends actually met during an internship at Monroe ~ they loved the program there ~ and, they've been spiritual practitioners ever since.

I'm excited for your Voyage!

“Entering into the left belly,
Catching the heart of brightness hidden.
And going out through the gate from the courtyard.”

So, moving into the heart center (xin - in chinese refers to the conjoined sensitivities of both the heart and mind ~ in relationship to each other like wind and waves)

To find the Illuminated Spirits hidden behind your ego (taking-up ~ or lying down in ~ the witness position)

And make this your basis for seeing/greeting the world (through your newly opened third eye)

The eighth wing of the i-Ching opens with:

"In antiquity, the sage's composed the Yi so the Illuminated Spirits could give them mystical assistance, and so from this came about the creation of the stalks."

This says, to me, that the source and its illumination are to be found *presently* in the still and silent place ~ at your sovereign center ~ high above your story-layer ~ before images and words even come into being

One of the great things about the Monroe Institute program, from what I've heard, is that it gives you a lab-like environment, purposely designed, so that you can directly discover for yourself:

"You are not your Story ~ but, rather, you are the Awareness of your Story."

And that, from what I hear, is only the beginning of the Journey...

Good Luck!

“Gateway in April?”
Yi: 36.4>55
I took this as a definitive “yes!”

The line is an ominous warning about finding out something bad about someone, and then quietly making your exit. Take it as a Big No.

Trojina,

I totally understand where you’re coming from with the channeling “craze” that’s on the move. The work done by the three individuals involved in the Ra material is worth looking into. My feel on it is that it’s legitimate, mostly due to the ideas that come out that feel very true to me.

About the no good or evil thing: The idea is that we all return to the Source, whether we’ve chosen a negative polarity or positive polarity path. The “Law of One” is that we all, all of creation, comes from the One. “Evil” and terrible acts are definitely committed. Ra goes into great depth about this, calling it the “path of negative polarity/service-to-self.” They say we all have a choice between the two. It’s part of our Logos. The Fool card actually represents this choice, according to Ra. Book IV goes over the Tarot in great detail, focusing on its archetypal base. This, in itself, if you work with Tarot, is really worth looking into.

Anyway, the idea is that though we choose between negative or positive polarity (service to others), all entities eventually return to God or the Source, even those that commit heinous acts. Supposedly, after a great amount of evolution and use of intelligent infinity/energy, when we reach the 6th density, we are no longer negative or positive polarity. Our learning/understanding of creation, God, the One becomes such that we’ve sort of healed our distortions in consciousness so that we find no need to commit evil acts or have power over others or any other distortion.

Back to the “gateway” idea being about the third eye... I found an except that mentions this, or the “indigo ray,” in subcategory “energy centers”:

“...The indigo ray, though precious, is that ray worked upon only by the adept, as you would call it. It is the gateway to intelligent infinity bringing intelligent energy through. This is the energy center worked upon in those teachings considered inner, hidden, and occult, for this ray is that which is infinite in its possibilities. As you are aware, those who heal, teach, and work for the Creator in any way which may be seen to be both radiant and balanced are those activities which are indigo ray.”

Radiofreewill,

Thank you! I agree. That was my instinct. I’m curious about this “heart center” or “xin”... And “mystical assistance” —so the Yi was created in the way that God/s gift man, or like Odin was gifted the runes after 9 nights hanging upside down from a Yew tree...? Divination feels like a way to channel through the “gateway of intelligent infinity,” if you ask me. Aren’t we also channeling?

From the Ra material:

“14.32 Questioner: Where did the information come from that Edgar Cayce channeled?

Ra: I am Ra. We have explained before that the intelligent infinity is brought into intelligent energy from eighth density or the octave. The one vibratory sound complex called Edgar used this gateway to view the present, which is not the continuum you experience but the potential social memory complex of this planetary sphere. The term your peoples have used for this is the “Akashic Record” or the “Hall of Records.”’

So, Edgar was using Awareness of the Story so that he could help people... I feel 55 in all of this. I have this image of the way a sun rises and sets—only at the culminating point, we’re able to slip out beyond ordinary reality...

A few more things about the “gateway” mentioned in the Ra material. I also include an excerpt about wind and fire and healing. While I was reading the material, concepts on primordial wind and fire/earth and water came up, which reminded me of the Yi...:

“17.18 Questioner: Then if the entity Jesus was fourth density and there are Wanderers on the planet today who came from fifth and sixth density, what was it that Jesus did that enabled him to be such a good healer and could these fifth- and sixth-density beings here today do the same?

“Ra: I am Ra. Those who heal may be of any density which has the consciousness of the spirit. This includes third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh. The third density can be one in which healing takes place just as the others. However, there is more illusory material to understand, to balance, to accept, and to move forward from.

“The gate to intelligent infinity can only be opened when an understanding of the instreamings of intelligent energy are opened unto the healer. These are the so-called Natural Laws of your local space/time continuum and its web of electromagnetic sources or nexi of instreaming energy.

“Know then, first, the mind and the body. Then as the spirit is integrated and synthesized, those are harmonized into a mind/body/spirit complex which can move among the dimensions and which can open the gateway to intelligent infinity, thus healing self by light and sharing that light with others.

“True healing is simply the radiance of the self causing an environment in which a catalyst may occur which initiates the recognition of self, by self, of the self-healing properties of the self.“

6.1 [...]
“Ra: We proceed now with the third area of teach/learning concerning the development of the energy powers of healing.

“The third area is the spiritual complex which embodies the fields of force and consciousness which are the least distorted of your mind/body/spirit complex. The exploration and balancing of the spirit complex is indeed the longest and most subtle part of your learn/teaching. We have considered the mind as a tree. The mind controls the body. With the mind single-pointed, balanced, and aware, the body comfortable in whatever biases and distortions make it appropriately balanced for that instrument, the instrument is then ready to proceed with the great work.

“That is the work of wind and fire. The spiritual body energy field is a pathway, or channel. When body and mind are receptive and open, then the spirit can become a functioning shuttle or communicator from the entity’s individual energy of will upwards, and from the streamings of the creative fire and wind downwards.

“The healing ability, like all other, what this instrument would call paranormal abilities, is effected by the opening of a pathway or shuttle into intelligent infinity. There are many upon your plane who have a random hole or gateway in their spirit energy field, sometimes created by the ingestion of chemicals such as, what this instrument would call LSD, who are able, randomly and without control, to tap into energy sources. They may or may not be entities who wish to serve. The purpose of carefully and consciously opening this channel is to serve in a more dependable way, in a more commonplace or usual way, as seen by the distortion complex of the healer. To others there may appear to be miracles. To the one who has carefully opened the door to intelligent infinity this is ordinary; this is commonplace; this is as it should be. The life experience becomes somewhat transformed and the great work goes on.“

Thank you for the replies!

Do you disagree with what I think is the meaning of the line?

Or do you disagree with the characterization of the group that this line implies?

I disagree that the line means to express a definitive “no-go” in terms of my situation.

Update to this old thread...

This is fascinating to me, and so I’ve been meaning to update for a long time.

I did not do the Gateway Experience. Instead, a last minute kind of download had me book an Ayahuasca retreat in Peru in April 2019. I did meet the darkness described in 36.4, the heart of darkness. I had been healing a heart chakra block a year before this post, but in April 2018 a major relationship experience occurred surrounding humiliation and betrayal.

While in Peru, during my 3rd aya ceremony, I experienced a very strange sensation in my heart. It continued to increase in intensity with the drumming that was happening. The drum was like a heart beat. So as this went on, I started to feel as though my heart was being scrubbed. It was brinking on painful, but mostly just very uncomfortable. During this experience, I was told that I had a “scorpion sting” in my heart. It was from an early childhood trauma surrounding an experience of betrayal. It had never healed, but stayed as frozen consciousness, until I experienced a similar feeling betrayal, which opened it up in April 2018. But when it opened, it was like a wound that had festered. There was rage within it. Over time, especially as my consciousness rose around it, I saw it as an apple with a rotten spot and a worm in it. Weird, I know.

Now, 3 years later, I have experienced further healing of this old heart trauma, fully released and cleansed through forgiveness, plant medicine, intensive healing work, and a kundalini awakening last Nov that blew the door off my heart. This has been a major healing journey. But, what fascinates me about the reading and the line 36.4 is that the Yi knew where I’d be going and that it would lead me to the exact cause of what was injuring the light. Mind-blowing. So, it was essential that I go, or find a way to get to this “heart of darkness” in order to heal it. Just goes to show Yi speaks to things we cannot readily understand, except in hindsight. What it revealed about 36.4 is that this is truly a line that is what it sounds like. There is injury or promise of potential injury. It isn’t something to just skate over. There’s something toxic in need of imbuing with light. It either refers to a current injury or affliction, or that you are dealing with something or someone that could inflict a serious kind of injury that will darken your light.

Lastly, I’ll add that the heart of darkness in 36.4 wasn’t just the experience of betrayal that caused injury to my light—it was also my response to it. I had suppressed/repressed a kind of rage that who knew a child could ever feel. And I did so because the unconditional love I felt caused me to bypass and make my experience of anger part of my shadow because I couldn’t hold those feelings of love and rage simultaneously. So, another side to 36.4 is the shadow within that may rear it’s ugly head when we can’t properly cope with a situation.

So handle 36.4 with major care and attention. It isn’t something to ignore. It has real consequences. :)

Hex 36 carries the nuclear energetics of Hex 40 all the time directing matters towards loosening and relief though challenging experiences targeted to 'forgive excesses and pardon offences'.

Line 4 carries a sense of finding the right road. It stands at the gateway of our outer world heralding a path that leads towards something that is greater. This path stands at the threshold of inner world /outer world connection an involves making difficult choices when the consequences of not taking a certain path can be considered as a worse choice. This path and the things that need addressing in the dark are not always pleasant to face. You may well express it much stronger than this.

At the place of 36.4 the alternating hexagram is 55 Abundance and so there is a sense to eventual good coming forth. This is supported by knowing that 36.3 has given you the internal resolve to be resilient and move beyond the afflictions that have gathered within. The inner world and outer world act in unison and call out to you from the deep heart of your Hidden Brightness.

Remember too that the shadow of Hex 36 is Hex 29 which Karcher names 'Repeating Pit / Ghost River' this hexagram carries the strong urge to confront your fears.

It sounds like you have had quite a journey in the last 3 years. I'm glad to hear that your canoe is still afloat and that you have such a story to tell.
