The Channel of Exploration - 10/34, links the G Center through the 10, the Gate of Treading, to the 34, the Gate of Power in the Sacral Center. Here we have a channel that strongly empowers behavior.
The 10th gate is the gate of behavior, and the 34th, the gate of power. This is therefore the empowerment of behavior, or the behavior of empowerment. Remember that Human Design is a dualistic system, and these terms can always be inverted.
This is a generated channel. What this means is that as long as these people are responding, their power is behaving correctly and their behavior is always perfect. This is what it means to follow one’s convictions.
The 10th gate is the gate of the love of self. When you follow your natural responses, you become centered in your convictions, no matter how unusual they are. Out of this behavior, comes the love of oneself.
People with activations in the Centering Circuit have an aura that creates a kind of vortex around them. It is this power of Centering that can draw so much attention to themselves. Whether this attention is positive or negative always depends upon whether they are waiting to respond.
People with this definition have a very fixed behavioral pattern, meaning they are comfortable and solid within themselves (if they live their design). This channel is part of the Individual circuit so 10/34's have a tremendous capacity of being able to empower others to also feel comfortable and solid within themselves. In other words, they empower others to follow their own behavior - whatever it happens to be.
This channel beautifully expresses the core of what individuals would like in the world. Every individual would really like to be able to live their own behavior without interference. At the same time, of course, they would like to empower everybody else to live their own behavior without suffering the interference of others.
The upshot of it is that these 10/34 people play a vital role by re-empowering in others their own sense of uniqueness. The not-self of this channel would be a bit rigid about this. Something like:
"I'm going to be like this whether you like it or not. I'm just going to be like this, this is my behavior. However, I think it would be really healthy for you if you are always like that. Yes. And if you stay like that and I stay like this, we're not going to have a problem."
You have finished the Individual Centering Circuit. Next: Collective Circuit.
