There are 6 subdivisions that categorize both the conscious and the unconscious of the profile. And these categorizations (behavioral identity, projected attitude, limited perspective, aspired to role, bonding strategy, securing strategy) are all rooted in the 6 role gates.

These gates are the 10, 7, 1, 13, 59, and 27

At the bottom of the page are the Role Gates and their lines.

If you really want to understand profiles deeply, you need to understand these 6 role gates and their lines. For example, to get insight into the 4/6, look at all the 4th and 6th lines of the role gates (By extension but to a lesser degree, if you look at all the lines of the 64 hexagrams you can get an insight into the lines in the profiles).

If you look at those gates and their lines in the Rave I Ching you will get a really deep understanding of the basis of profile. Remember that the 64 hexagrams because of their mathematics are related to the genetic code. And because of that everything is connected to each other in its genetic continuity.

There are 64 1st lines, and they are all 1st lines. They have a basic thing in common. So it doesn’t matter where your 1st lines are, the reality is that through genetic continuity they have a deep connection to each other because they operate in a very similar way.

Genetic Continuity

Any line in a gate shares a Genetic Continuity with all other lines of the same number in the 64 Gates. In the totality of the Gates, or Hexagrams, you are seeing 64 interpretations of the same energy. In this sense, all hexagrams have a structural relationship to each other.

For example, all first lines have a relationship to each other. They share a similar function in acting as the foundation of their hexagram structure. Likewise, all 2nd lines share a continuity, and so on. So in essence, you can look at any line and get an idea of how all the other similar lines work in the other hexagrams.

This is useful when looking at Profile. If you have a 3/5 Profile, for example, you can look at all the 3rd and 5th lines in the 64 Gates and get a great understanding of how a 3/5 Profile works since they are connected through Genetic Continuity.

The Six Role Gates

There are six primary Role Gates whose keynotes resound more strongly that the other gates. All gates have useful minor keynotes for looking at Profile, but these six gates act as major keynotes.

The Lines of these Role Gates provide themes for understanding the structural values of similar Lines in other Hexagrams. As an example, the names associated with Profile are derived from the tenth Gate of Behavior (2/4 is a Hermit Opportunist).

In the self study section of the profiles each profile has a chart like the 5/2 chart below. The Personality and Design Profile will have Major keynotes and then each profile variation will have minor keynotes. Listed here are only the major keynotes. Bellow is an example of the 5/2 profile:

The Gate numbers that the corresponding keynotes connect to are as follows:

Lines of the Role Gates
