03 – 60 – Mutation
The Channel of Mutation links the Root Center to the Sacral Center through the Gate of Acceptance (60) and the Gate of
Ordering (3). The potential for evolutionary change that comes through this unpredictable, mutative and melancholic channel
depends on one's capacity to accept limitation (Gate 60) and transcend the confusion of new beginnings (Gate 3).
Background: Gate 60 is the hub of all evolutionary possibilities, while gate 3 is always reaching for what is new and potentially
viable, one possibility at a time. The underlying current or frequency governing this adrenalized generating Channel of
Mutation is the format energy of Individual Circuitry. Its potent, on/off pulsing energy, associated with melancholy, permeates
the way those with channel live out their unique designs. This is an energy that also conditions or deeply affects everyone
around them.
Personal: Your key to living with this melancholic process, a mechanical moodiness, is to avoid trying to reason it away. It is
better to remain patient and alert as you wait for the new mutation to arrive on the scene through you. Time spent alone with
your muse, when the pulse o mutation is off, can deepen and enrich your inner journey. Although you can't always see it,
something is stirring underneath and what is not yet ready to emerge continues to gestate and grow. This endless movement
from chaos to order to chaos is the nature of the format energy as it always engenders the possibility for something new to
come into the world. You only have to accept the limitation inherent in not knowing when this change (this pulse) will happen,
and surrender to your Sacral response to bring the energy of change to all of us.
Interpersonal: Like music, mutation takes place suddenly, unexpectedly, in the gaps or the spaces between the pulses, or
notes. It forces everyone to adapt or change, or be left behind. Those with the Channel of Mutation feel the pressure to bring
innovation and renewal to their lives, jobs, families and the world around them. The Root Center's constant pressure creates
inner tension during the times when the on/off pulses off and seemingly nothing is happening. This is experienced on a
chemical level in the body as melancholy. As agents of mutation and change, Individuals may find themselves trying to give
reasons for their moods, and getting caught in the discomforting, shadow place themselves which they normally tend to avoid.
If they give in to this shadow, or do not wait of the correct response, the pressure to change the way things are done can lead
to deep personal frustration and depression, as well as instability and chaos in this around them.
28 – 38 – Struggle
I think one of the most fascinating channels for me, because I am an integration person, is the 28/38. This is an incredible
force. First of all, think about integration. When somebody has integration they‘re really caught up in their own trip. These are
the most deeply selfish beings that exist. They‘re totally into their own trip. It‘s not their fault, by the way, but what to do.
They‘re focused on their unique in-the-now survival. You meet a 20/34 when they’re doing something, it’s very, very hard to
get their attention. I‘m into my thing and I‘m into my thing now and I’m lost in that.
And the fact is that when you look at this within the nature of human sexuality, for example, the nature of caring, you see that
this is totally absorbed in oneself; totally, totally absorbed. I care for myself; I care for my own existence. But the moment you
bring the 28/38, this totally self-absorbed selfish individuality, and specifically the 20/57, suddenly is ready to pay attention
to the other, is suddenly ready to care for the other. And why, what magic does this bring?
I‘ve watched it all my life. I have this channel in lover‘s children; I’ve seen it in every possible way. The 28th gate, particularly,
I’m a 20/57/10 and the 28th gate in my life is one of those things that is there wherever I look. I have nothing in this channel,
so I‘ve had a very interesting process in looking at that and watching that over the years. And you look at this 28/38, this
force, this is the Channel of Struggle. People often forget that Human Design is a deep, deep, deep dualistic system that every
single channel can be understood by its opposite. This does not have to be the Channel of Struggle. But it struggles for
something. This is what gives life its meaning. The meaning of life is not derived from the pattern or the experience. This is
what we do over and over and over and over and over again, because it is the plane that we‘re on. This is something deeper
than that. This is what gives life its meaning. There is an inherent, not so much search here, but a demand, in a sense, that
existence is more than just being born and dying, that there‘s something else. And this is what the 28/38 brings. It brings
this incredible struggle to find purpose.
