G Center ↔ Sacral Gate 2 ↔ Gate 14

Channel 2-14: The Channel of The Beat

Channel 2-14 is the Channel of The Beat, formed by Gate 2 and Gate 14 across the G Center and Sacral. The keeper of keys — direction-of-self powered by life-force commitment.

What is the 2-14 channel?

The 2-14 channel forms when both Gate 2 (G Center) and Gate 14 (Sacral) are defined in a chart. When both gates are activated, the channel is complete: current flows between the two Centers and both become defined. If only one of the two gates is activated, it is a hanging gate, not a defined channel — the design is drawn to people who carry the missing gate.

What does the Channel of The Beat mean?

The keeper of keys — direction-of-self powered by life-force commitment. Channel 2-14 belongs to the Knowing Circuit, part of the Individual Circuit group, whose keynote is empowerment.

Which gates and centers form it?

Gate 2 sits in the G Center; Gate 14 sits in the Sacral. See Gate 2 and Gate 14 individually, or the channels overview for how the Individual Circuit fits with the other six circuits.
