Cross of planning
16-9-37-40
If you want to really have a grasp of the Cross of Planning, look at its four arms. The four arms—this is one of those exercis- es for you in terms of your own knowledge & development, how come it‘s got that name, is a good question. Why does it have that name? And the moment you ask that question look at the four arms, because the four arms tell you something.
But not only that, look at it the other way around. Each of these four gates now has a new keynote that you add to your list of keynotes for a gate. And the keynote you can add is ―planning.
In other words, the 40 is about planning, and the 37 is about planning and the 16 is about planning and the 9 is about planning. Those are aspects of planning.
So, if we look at that we can see for example that if we start with the 16, the 16 is all about the development of skills. And it‘s all about identification. It‘s a logical process of moving into the future to develop the skills for the future, to be able to apply the skills for the future, and to be able to apply patterns for the future.
If you look at the 9th gate, the 9th gate is all about the preponderance of the small; it‘s all about detail work.
We have been living in a global cycle of planning.
We have been living in a global cycle of planning. And in this global cycle of planning, which has been going on since 1610, it‘s going to end in 2027, this has been the Cross that all of us have been living through thematically on the largest possible scale. And it tells you about what this part of the cycle in this round has been all about—the development of skills, the perfection of our detail work, the advent of science, the advent of education, all of these things, and the power of community.
And remember, if you look at the 40/37, not only is it about the obvious things, the marriage bond, the bargain, but the underlying theme of the 40/37 is the building of communities, the building of physical infrastructure, the schools, the police departments, the military establishments, all of those things can become concretized out of that 40/37. Each of them is about planning.
The PROFILES of the Cross of Planning
- If it‘s going to be a 1/3 Cross of Planning, you know no matter how much attention is paid to trying to figure out what the plan should be, there‘s going to be mistakes. It‘s one of the magical things about realizing that profiling starts with mutation. In other words, it‘s not possible to start with a solid foundation. We would not have life. We start with foundations that are shaky. We start with foundations under the pressure of mutation: the 3 under the 1.
- Now, that‘s very different than being a 2/4 planner. The 2/4 says: “I don‘t plan; leave me alone. Are you crazy? Me? I don‘t want to have anything to do with advancing civilization. You‘re nuts. I‘ll watch it on TV, ok” It‘s not like saying, ok, here‘s the Cross of Planning, to assume for a moment that this person will plan anything unless there is the call. And the call comes from somebody they know. And they respond to that call correctly; then maybe, yes, they‘re going to get into fulfilling what they‘re here for.
- Think about what that‘s like to be a 3/5. Everybody expects you to have a plan. “I‘m in trouble, Harry, how do I get out of it?” Everybody expects you to have a plan. And of course, you‘ve got a personality that‘s going to make mistakes. “Ah, well, what I think you should do is go that way”. And of course, the person comes back with a broken arm and you‘re in trouble. “That plan didn‘t work; ok let‘s move on to the next town and see if we can get a job planning somewhere else”.
These are very different beings. And the 4/6, the 4/6 doesn‘t plan anything. They sit around watching everybody plan for them. And they say “That‘s a good plan, yes, very good”. Everybody‘s different. And the moment you step beyond the 4/6 there‘s no more plan. The Cross changes; boop—over.
The 1/3 Cross of Planning with the Personality Sun in the 9th Gate in the 1st line; a 1/3. You‘re not going to get this whole sense of planning. That‘s one of the things about telling somebody about their Incarnation Cross. “It‘s the Cross of Planning, but. You‘re not responsible for the plan and you‘re really only doing a part of it and it‘s not really important. Do me a favor, forget this, live out your design, ok? It‘s easier, it‘s easier”.
That 9th gate has a focus that is so obsessive. But we know about the 9th gate that if you don‘t have the 52nd gate that‘s an obsessive focus that‘s shifting all the time and leads to depression. And here you have a 9th gate planner “I have to focus on the plan”. You meet people like this; they‘ve got to focus on the plan.
I know people on this Cross who have their Sun there and that‘s all they do. They focus on the plan. Nothing ever happens; they focus on the plan. Now, if you look at that in their lifetime in terms of them personally you say (sound). All the people around them say “Yeah, you plan all the time and you do nothing”. But you see, from the larger perspective they‘re not supposed to do the other stuff. They‘re only supposed to be focused on the details of the plan, not about actualizing the plan, not about expressing the plan, not about living out the plan, not about doing anything like that.
But think about what happens to them in the pressure of their lives where everybody is saying, “What‘s the matter with you? I‘ve been hearing you in this story about this plan that you have to do this thing. You‘ve been telling me this story for 20 years. Yes, it‘s a great plan. What are you going to do with it?” ―Well, I‘m still working on the details. I‘m not ready yet. I haven‘t figured it all out. I‘m still studying”. It‘s a different being.
… this is the beginning of impersonal vi- sion. This is about seeing yourself as a cell rather than being a complex organism.
In other words, it‘s really about us seeing our place. And in seeing our place recog- nizing that so many of the things that have disturbed us in life are because we want to have the same experience in each of the four arms of our Cross that we only get out of one. In other words, there‘s always a part of us that says, ―But, but, but, wait a minute now. Is this all I get to do in my job? Is this it? What about the other stuff? That looks like fun. Rather than just planning it, I‘d really like to try it for awhile. Is that ok? “No, no you‘re not equipped for that, you‘re not designed for that. No, no, no it‘s not ok. And if you try to do that you‘re going to see it‘s not ok, it‘s not going to work for you
“ That‘s when surrender really means something. That‘s when surrender says, boy, am I glad I don‘t have to worry about that, that I just can be myself and it‘s all ok.

Cross of Penetration
the Cross of
Penetration is all about just what it
says. In other words, it is about
the penetrating capacity. And
again, whenever you see a name of a Cross, and remember you‘re going to have duplications with Right Angles and Left Angles, but it‘s very important that you add that keynote into your library.
In other words, each of these four gates is about penetration. They just are. The 53rd gate starts experiences. The 54th gate, The Marrying Maiden, is the gate of ambition. It‘s all about penetrating one‘s way into the hierarchy, climb the ladder. The 57th gate is The Gentle. The Gentle is this very, very powerful intuition that penetrates to the core. And of course, the 51st gate is an initiating gate. It is a gate of leaping into the void. It‘s the gate of shock. And again, this is a penetrating gate.
So, you‘ve got these four gates of penetration. And of course, what the penetration is, is different. The theme of penetration is going to be different in each of these gates. They can go from the mundane to the sublime. You can deal with the 53 and it can be the most mundane penetration, just to be able to start your clock. And you can deal with the sublime. You can literally penetrate the void. You can break through the sky and stick your head to the other side and see the glory of aware- ness.
It‘s all about this deep, deep potential to penetrate. And the themes of penetration are going to be different depending on where is the Personality Sun, what is the underlying theme that‘s at work. If you‘re somebody like me with your Personality Sun in the 51, you‘re in the Quarter of Initiation, in a gate of initiation. But the mo- ment you go over to the other side, the penetration is no longer about the initiation. It‘s intuitive penetration. It‘s different.
It is the penetration of penetrating awareness. It is about the ability to be able to figure out through mutation how to survive, how to be aware in the moments so you can be alive. All of these basic things operate out of that 57. And the 57 is more potent than any of the gates in this Cross because it is a gate of integration and it‘s going to interact differently. And it has a different capacity because it does form three channels, and not one.
The Quarter of Duality: The 57th Gate
And you‘re dealing with a 4/6. You‘re dealing with a 4/6 variation of the Sun in the 57th gate, the 57th gate of duality, to use your intuition to penetrate the mystery of duality. There‘s a lot of sex in that statement. It‘s built into that.
The whole theme of duality is about our fertility and our bonding with the other. Make babies, says this Quarter. You built the house and the church and the school in the last Quarter and now you‘ve got to fill it up. Fill it up with children and work- ers; fill it up. And go through the mystery of the bond. And go through the mystery of the two becoming three. All of that is built into this Quarter of Duality. And here in the 57th gate, this deep concern about the survival of duality. This is a place where in this Quarter the understanding of our basic nature gets discovered. The most mundane duality, man/woman, and the most exalted dualities that we are the by- product of the yin/yang, that the totality is dualistic, that our genetics are binary, that the computer we use is binary, and you go on and on and on and on and on, here is where the binary gets exalted. And the penetration to the binary is here.
Now obviously, living in an age in which delusion rules and that we see that one of the first themes of delusion ruling is that the delusions get stripped away, that the Cross of Penetration becomes something important for us. It‘s another job, if you will. It‘s another job that‘s there in all of these various departments and says, ―Wait a minute now; our job here is that we‘ve really got to penetrate this, we‘ve really got to get to the core of this,‖ and this is one way to go.
