So as per my personal chart I have Gate 11 activated.  Gate 11 is known as the gate of ideas. 

Some key points to this gate are as follows: 

• The need to share ideas
• A requirement to asses the idea before action is taken.
• The need to be stimulated through the streaming of ideas and share what needs to be shared and let the rest just pass away.

I have found that in reflecting on the events of my own personal life, the constant stream of ideas has been a constant, sometimes to my own detriment.

To illustrate, here is what often happens;  I will be chatting with someone about some creative project they are working on and my mind will automatically start working out a plan to monetize the idea.  I can go from 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds.  Sometimes these ideas aren't desired by the person I'm talking to.

So, part of the working within the idea stream of Gate 11 is learning to let these ideas flow without being actioned but simply recognized as an idea.

Gate 11 is also known as The Gate of Harmony.  This harmony is often found in some of the streamed ideas that reflect memories of the past.   With these past ideas,  I can often use them to create or associate them with bigger ideas and even move those ideas into a belief system of my own or help others with their belief systems based on my ideas.

To assist in avoiding the stress of having to many unresolved ideaS, It has been suggested that a " Idea's Journal" is kept.  The concept of this journal is to allow a person to write down their ideas and then come back to them at a later time when they have taken the chance to breath and focus. 

As  part of this journaling process, I have also found that it allows me to decide what ideas are worth me concentrating on or who to possibly share the ideas with so they can action them instead.  

On the shadow side of this gate is the feeling of being unseen, unheard of or simply misunderstood.

These concepts are often manifested in the tendencies  to withdraw or hide my true self or play small to avoid standing out.

I have noticed that, especially when criticized,  that is a prevalent action in my life.  With this information I can empower myself to not let these negative thoughts overwhelm me.   

I hope these thoughts provide some clarity into your life or gate 11 if you have it.
