Channels

Channels are our life force. Theyre what carry energy from one center to another. Unlike
centers, in which the expression of energy or information is general, a channel is a more
specific expression of the energy and information of the 2 centers it runs between. For
example, in the picture below, a channel runs between the G center (the center of
direction) and the Ego center (the center of willpower). Someone with this channel in their
design is someone whose direction in life is empowered by their will. The result is
someone who is able to leap in front of others and be the first to do something. Its part of
individual circuitry which is about empowerment. This channel empowers competitive drive
in others. Its called The Channel of Initiation and it connects gates 25 and 51.

Circuitry

Each channel is part of a different circuit (shown below on left). The 3 types of circuitry are
Tribal, Individual, and Collective. Then there are 4 channels that are not part of any circuitry
called Integration Channels (shown below on right). Click on the pictures to enlarge them
(All circuitry and channels have been color-coded for the purpose of this post.)

Tribal Circuitry:

Ego Circuit (red)

Defense Circuit (orange)

Individual Circuitry:

Knowing Circuit (yellow)

Centering Circuit (green)
Collective Circuitry:

Understanding Circuit (blue)

Sensing Circuit (purple)

Integration Channels (light blue, olive, lavender and pink, in the diagram on the right)

Tribal - Channels of this group of circuitry give us the ability to survive the material plane.
This is something we cant do on our own. We need support from our tribe (family, people
at work, etc). Support is the keynote for tribal circuitry. In order for tribal channels to
work properly, they must be supported and support in return. Tribal Circuitry breaks down
into 2 circuits:

Ego Circuit - Channels in the Ego Circuit are an expression of the energy that allows
us to support and be supported by our tribe both emotionally and in terms of
monetary compensation and other physical resources.
Defense Circuit - This is considered a minor circuit because its only 2 channels.
Unlike the Ego Circuit, the Defense Circuit has to do more with the biological
functions of the tribe like producing offspring (Channel of Mating) and ensuring their
survival (Channel of Preservation).

Individual - Channels of this circuit group carry a good deal of creativity and give us the
ability to bring something new and different into the world. They operate with random
pulses which are what bring this creativity. In between these pulses, we experience
periods of downtime which manifests in us as a feeling we call meloncholy. This
meloncholy can sometimes feel uncomfortable, but If we allow ourselves to be with the
meloncholy rather than try to escape it, we can tap in to the next pulse of creativity, which
can inspire, empower, and even mutate (change) others. Empowerment is the keynote for
Individual Circuitry. It also breaks down into 2 circuits:

Knowing Circuit - These channels carry meloncholic periods punctuated by pulses of

sudden knowing and creativity. Verbalizing this knowing is not easy for the Knowing
channels, but being able to do so can result in empowering others with a completely
new approach to something.
Centering Circuit - This is another minor circuit. These are slightly more seflish than
the Knowing channels, but with good reason. This self-centeredness empowers
others to love and stand up for themselves.

Collective - Unlike Tribal channels which are focused on a small, tight-knit group of people
and are not concerned with time, or Individual channels which are focused on being alone
and in the present moment, Collective channels are focused on all of humanity all
throughout time and whats beneficial for the largest group of people possible. Its goal is to
gain a clearer perception of where humanity has been and where its going in order to
share the information with others and provide safety and predictability. Sharing is the
keynote of Collective Circuitry. Its 2 circuits are both major. They are:

Understanding Circuit - Also known as the Logic Circuit, this is an expression of

energy in us that is focused on the future and gaining a clearer perception of where
humanity is going. It does this by noticing patterns, experimenting with these
patterns and sharing the results with others so they can get a better idea of what
might happen next.
Sensing Circuit - Also known as the Abstract Circuit, this is an expression of energy
in us that is focused on the past and gaining a clearer perception of where humanity
has been. It does this by having and collecting experiences, trying to make sense
out of them, and sharing them with others.

Integration Channels - These 4 channels are not part of any type of circuitry. They are
most similar to Individual channels in that they are made up of 4 gates that are part of
Individual Circuitry. However, unlike the Individual channels which want to be understood so
they can empower others, the Integration Channels are not interested in being understood
and only wish to empower the self. Self-empowerment is the keynote for Integration. They
are the most selfish channels we have. This selfishness is the basis for human survival.

Channel Type Construct

Theres another way to classify channels and thats by Channel Type Construct.
Examples of it are shown below.

Generating Channels (red)

Manifesting Generating Channel (orange)

Manifesting Channels (yellow)

Projected Channels (green)

Generating Channels are expressions of energy in us that require something external to

respond to. Generating channels define the Sacral, thus only a Generator (or Manifesting
Generator) will have one of these channels. There are 10 of them.

The Manifesting Generating Channel is an expression of energy in us that can bring

something into form but only once it responds to something external first. There is only
one of these channels and only a Manifesting Generator will have it.

Manifesting Channels are expressions of energy in us that dont need anything to respond
to. Theyre ready to bring things into form on their own. Manifesting Channels directly
connect a motor (Ego or Solar Plexus) to the Throat. If your design contains Manifesting
Channels, youre either a Manifestor (if your sacral is undefined) or a Manifesting Generator
(if your Sacral is defined). There are only 3 of them.

Projected Channels are expressions of energy in us that need to be recognized by others

and invited. Any type except Reflectors can have one of these channels, but if your design
contains only Projected Channels, you will either be a Projector (if none of them connect
any motors to the Throat) or a Manifestor (if they connect a motor to the Throat in some
way). There are 22 of these.

Below is a brief description of each channel. When reading the part about what centers the
