Circuit: Individual - Knowing
Channel: 8-1 Channel of Inspiration -
The Creative Role Model

With Gate 1, you have a deep desire to express yourself in this world. You need to
express yourself through your purpose, and you do best when you are immersed in
“doing your own thing.” When you are following your purpose with conviction, you
naturally attract attention from others.
With this, it may be challenging for you to understand that your power lies in your
creations and that, in fact, what you create is your purpose and your purpose is what
you create. Creating from your Authentic Self and individual insight is your
contribution to this world.

Journal Prompts:

What have I been holding back on creating?

time.

time, what you are here to bring forth will make sense, and the world will be ready to
receive it.
Your challenge lies in waiting for the right time to share your innovation with the
world. Bringing clarity and conciseness to your idea will take time, so trust that you
will receive the insight that you need to cultivate your offering at the right time.

With Gate 4, you receive many ideas and answers to other peoples questions.
However, your answers are only possibilities, and you need to formulate them further
with truth, facts and evidence. This Gate pushes you to be patient when you don’t
understand something and to wait for the right timing to manifest whatever your idea
is, as it needs to be substantiated before you share it with the world.
Your challenge lies in learning how to manage your mental anxiety that comes up
when you do not understand something, and giving yourself enough mental space to
receive your answers.

Journal Prompts:

alignment with who you truly are. At the highest expression of this Gate, you will
be unrushed in life and in complete flow, providing an example to those around
you of what it looks like to be patient, confident and in complete flow.
Your challenge is to stay connected to your own healthy and stable internal

insights into how to fix things, as well as letting go of the need to help others when it
