Behind the image of family and community, the ego circuit is all business. It is the business of making and maintaining families and community - distributing and spending money. If you look at the channels you'll see it is all ruled by the ego.

There is no sacral here so there is no generative quality. The sacral center is the prerequisite for existence. However, if it were not for tribal circuitry, we would not be able to look after ourselves. This circuit is a manifestor. Thus the theme of the ego circuit is to manifest; to go out there and be busy, so that you can come home and rest.

Because there is no sacral, the two streams that go from the root all the way to the ego center are projected streams (54-32, 44-26 and 19-49, 37-40). The Ego circuit is desperate to be recognized. It is waiting to be recognized in order that it can be in control of the manifestation.

Side Note: One of the unusual things about the Ego Circuit is that it only has one entry into the throat (45-21). This has two important implications. One, it only has one voice and, two, since the ego center is a motor it has a direct possibility to manifest.

The Individual and Collective Circuits have more than one voice (can you count them?) and the the channels involved are a mix of types. What does it mean that the Tribe has such a narrow outlet? Think of the unique and very fixed ways different tribes express themselves. For example, a tribe might all dress in the same way. This is not like the many ways the Collective and Individual voice themselves, where there are more outlets of expression.

This voice is the 45-21, the Channel of the Materialist. It's all about making the right deals that will guarantee the right kind of support, that in turn will make enough money to feed, clothe, build and entertain the community or family.
