Thyroid Gland
The thyroid gland is located in the neck. Follicles in the thyroid secrete hormones. Stimulation from the anterior pituitary gland causes production of thyroid hormones. Almost all body cells are targets of thyroid hormones.
 The thyroid gland has four parathyroid glands. |
Anything to do with the metamorphosis of the body is regulated by the thyroid gland. The gland is a regulator of all body functions. These include controlling the overall metabolic rate, growth and development, sexual development, calcium regulation and bone production.
An under productive or over productive thyroid leads to all sorts of metabolic or developmental problems such as mood swings, weight control, irregular body growth, body temperature control and energy levels.

Throat Center Duality
The Throat Center at its biological level is a duality, seen in the two Thyroid lobes. You can further subdivide that duality into four parts, as seen in the parathyroid glands.
The basic binary is:
(a) communication
(b) manifestation.
Each of those can be paired again:
(i) communication or manifestation that is defined
(ii) communication or manifestation that is undefined
We'll see this in more depth when looking at the gates (see below).
Above and Below the Throat
When looking at the Ajna center we saw how it was biologically connected to all other body functions. But we also saw that it's role was to watch what was going on only and not make the decisions. It was an Awareness Center. The throat center on the other hand, does influence the rest of the body. As can be clearly seen in the role of the Thyroid Gland, the throat center is a Gearbox, a regulator. It isn't the fuel since it is not a motor, but it regulates the speed at which the fuel is burned.
Also notice in the bodygraph another interesting visual cue: the positioning of the ajna to the throat. It gives you insight into how the bodygraph works. Really you have two parts to the bodygraph: everything above the throat and everything below.
 The six centers connected to the throat and the throat gates in the wheel. Because the hexagram has a relationship to the codon structure, gates that are next to each other in the wheel they have a similar information base at the genetic codon level. |
The ajna and head play the role of collecting information and processing it into awareness. But this has nothing to do with motors since they are miles away from any motor. They sit above the throat observing the body. Below the throat is where all the juice is flowing. It is full of action and energy. That is where we have the 4 motors and everything that goes with them.
The throat acts are the regulator for these two parts. It all comes out and becomes one through the throat. The Throat has direct access to six other centers! All roads lead to the throat and those roads are short.
The Throat has eleven gates, more than any other center, and only one biology: the Thyroid. The throat, despite it's ability to harness many input streams, is focused on one simple thing: regulating the flow of energy. Remember how the thyroid regulates our body's temperature. To do that is must be in constant communication with the outside energy levels and the inside energy levels.
The sacral center also regulates energy, but as any pure generator knows, it can easily get stuck. This is not the case with the throat. The throat is a master at finding the perfect energy level. We all need to go through a metamorphic process. That is what it mean to be alive. Without the metamorphic energy (via action or voice) all generators would perpetually be stuck and all the other types would simply be lifeless.

Getting Attention
Since the throat center is the center of metamorphosis and metamorphosis creates distinction, the throat center also regulates how visible we are in the world. Noise and movement, both key throat attributes, get you noticed (for good or bad).
For example, if you are looking for an animal in the forest you might not notice it until it moves. Or in the classroom the child who grows slower or faster than the other children is noticed. In terms of noise it is obvious that it gets attention. If you are sitting in a movie theatre full of people, the only person you'll really notice is the one who is talking. And there is a good chance that they have an open throat that is being pumped up by all the defined throats around them!
A defined throat is designed to get attention (good or bad) in their fixed way. An undefined throat is here to be flexible in how they get attention. Both need to follow their strategy. Only then will they get the attention that is correct.
People with open throats can become obsessed with attracting attention, just like people with defined throats can spend a lifetime trying to stay out of the way. This is a distortion of their natural talents. The moment you are conditioned by attracting attention is the moment you don’t see the possibilities on either side of the coin.
Open throats can attract attention but they can't control when or how. Defined throats can attract attention but it can be lots of the wrong attention if they don't act correctly.
Defined or undefined, the only important thing lies in whether you take decision making away from the mind. With an open throat if your life is focused on getting attention, then you get sick. However, if you are correct with an open throat and attract people then it’s beautiful. With a defined throat if you are correct then you will get attention that won't hit you over the head.
Bob Dylan  The singer Bob Dylan has a fixed way of getting attention and his signature voice reflects that. One radio broadcaster said, "Dylan's voice is as annoying as the sound of an espresso machine." Love it or hate it, he can't change it. For him he'll get recognized by sticking to his way of expressing. |
Cher  The singer Cher has a inconsistent way of getting attention. One journalist said, "Cher jumped on to each new musical fad looking for an audience." This is an open throat way. She can easily change her voice style and has successfully done many cover songs. |
Metamorphosis and Pressure
Even though the throat connects directly to more centers than any other center, there are two centers it does not directly connect to: Head and Root. This means no direct access to pressure! When we looked at the head center we saw that we're living in a pressure sandwich - the mental pressure above, the adrenaline pressure below. But the throat is not directly connected to that.
What does that mean? It means that manifestation is oblivious to pressure. Otherwise, we would all run ourselves to death from the pressure, like a balloon letting its air out.The head and root pressures stimulate the other centers, which then find their outlet via the throat. But the act of metamorphosis does not happen under pressure. Imagine pressuring a flower to blossom! And the joke is? That so many of us are running around under great pressure to manifest. It is a sad joke.
Your Voice(s)
The primary nature of the Throat Center is to speak, not manifest. Out of the 11 gates only 3 are manifesting gates (35, 12, 45). We have 11 tongues. Articulation began in the 12th gate. The ten other gates represent the primary tongues of humanity where all the languages that ever existed fit into one of those ten gates. There are very few gates that are Gates of Primary Action. Then you have gates of Secondary Action.
If you have a gate in the Throat, and it doesn't matter if the Throat is defined or undefined since that's just about consistency, that gate is your voice. It's the only voice that you can rely on. It doesn't mean that that voice isn't going to be conditioned if it's an active gate in an undefined Throat. Obviously, somebody else or some planet is going to have to hook up that Throat. Looking at a Rave chart is about seeing the Self and the Not-Self. Everything about looking at the Throat is seeing your voice and the not-voices.
If you don't have the 45th gate, every time you say, "I have," it's not your voice. You're not here to talk in terms of what you have and what you don't have. That belongs to somebody who has that voice and they are probably sitting right next to you! If you don't have the 56th gate and you're saying, "I believe," you're being conditioned by somebody.
If you're living a conditioned life, you get the problems of that conditioned being. The same thing is true that if you live out a conditioned voice, you have to deal with all the consequences of that voice and you may not be equipped to do so. If you're constantly speaking in a voice that doesn't belong to you, it ultimately is going to do damage to your Throat.
The only people who are free of that are those who have absolutely no activation whatsoever in the Throat - a true rarity, by the way. It is not possible for them to have any voice of their own and they live under a different condition.
