Gate 64“The Gate of Confusion”
Confusion before completion, divine transition
Summary
Gate 64 is confusion that precedes understanding: a stream of images, memories, and impressions looking for order. It fuels imagination and the eventual extraction of meaning from experience.
In alignment, it accepts confusion as transitional and waits until the pieces line up. In distortion, it tries to force conclusions, creating mental clutter and premature certainty. The practice is patience: capture the images, then let time and reflection do their work.
