Where this face sits on the wheel

The Christ Consciousness Field belongs to the Quarter of Duality. Four gates correspond to it:

The image

The idea of "love thy neighbor" is very old — it was known in ancient China. But it was in this field that it became part of humanity's programming. And it isn't about pacifism. It's about non-threatening competition: instead of destroying your neighbor and taking their territory, you can live side by side, work together and grow. You don't have to love your competitor — it's enough to recognize their right to exist and cooperate, because it benefits you both. Politically this was a truly revolutionary step.

The primal fears

This field holds the primal fears — the ones that push a person to become intelligent:

  • 18 — the fear of authority: hence the wish to test and correct, to weed out false leaders.
  • 48 — the fear of inadequacy: hence the thirst to learn and seek depth.
  • 57 — the fear of tomorrow: a fine intuition that listens to the vibrations of life and turns anxiety into understanding.

And at the center is 46: love of the body and the luck of being in the right place at the right time. Here success comes not through struggle but through serendipity. When you respect the body as a temple, you understand that it can't be abused or used however you like.

How it shows in a chart

If your conscious Sun or Earth is in one of these gates, the theme of peaceful rivalry, learning and overcoming fear through knowledge is strong in you. You may be the one who improves, tests and investigates — and the one who gets lucky simply by being where they're meant to be.

The same applies, more quietly, to any other Personality activations in these gates. But a single face never describes a whole person: it matters whether these gates are defined, which center they sit in, and what is in the Design. A gate in an open center, for example, gives an unstable theme that doesn't operate all the time.

And one more thing. Wherever we have Personality activations is where the mind most easily hands its power to outside forces — and the Faces of the Gods set the frame for exactly that false authority. Knowing about the faces doesn't free you by itself. What frees you is living by your own strategy and authority: then you can see this force without handing it the wheel.

The crosses of this face

The Christ Consciousness Field is about being able to compete and grow side by side without destroying the other. And about the fears that push us to become wiser.
