Decrease

The seed of all human experience — a restless fantasy that decreases everything to its essential desire. This gate initiates new emotional journeys through imagination, dreaming possibilities into being before circumstances catch up.

The shadow is empty dreaming — living entirely in a fantasy world of what could be, constantly unfulfilled because you never actually initiate the experience you desire.

Living in a dream world to avoid the rawness of reality. Imagination becomes escapism when it refuses to engage with what is actually happening.

The creative tension of standing on the threshold of a new experience. Anticipation savours potential without grasping at outcome.

You become a source rather than a seeker. Reality emanates from your being — you are the origin of all experience.
