Channel 26-44: The Channel of Surrender
Channel 26-44 is the Channel of Surrender, formed by Gate 26 and Gate 44 across the Heart (Ego) and Splenic. Alertness in service of the egoist — the trickster channel of memory and sales.
What is the 26-44 channel?
The 26-44 channel forms when both Gate 26 (Heart (Ego)) and Gate 44 (Splenic) 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 Surrender mean?
Alertness in service of the egoist — the trickster channel of memory and sales. Channel 26-44 belongs to the Ego Circuit, part of the Tribal Circuit group, whose keynote is support.
Which gates and centers form it?
Gate 26 sits in the Heart (Ego); Gate 44 sits in the Splenic. See Gate 26 and Gate 44 individually, or the channels overview for how the Tribal Circuit fits with the other six circuits.
