This Gate is part of the Channel Logic, A Design of Mental Ease Mixed with Doubt, linking the Head Center (Gate 63) with the Ajna Center (Gate 4). Gate 63 is part of the Collective Understanding (Logic) Circuit with the keynote of sharing.

The suspicion or doubt of Gate 63 is merely a pressure; it is the readiness to pay attention to and question what feels insecure until it can be understood and evaluated in terms of our future security. Doubt arises when we sense an inconsistency or weakness in the existing patterns moving life forward. This is an essential ingredient in the understanding/logic process, and logic is the common thread that flows through and connects all life forms on the planet. The doubt of Gate 63 can be directed out into the world, or focused inward, inappropriately, on our lives and choices. Our doubt becomes an urgency to formulate a question that addresses something that isn't clear to us. If we don't get an adequate, logical and workable answer to our question, pressure in the form of suspicion continues to build. Our focus on the future, with an ability to see patterns that exist in the present, means that if something appears weak and does not stand up under the scrutiny of our logic, or if it does not insure society's future, we will reject it for another pattern. When we are part of a group engaged in long-term planning, our aura will contribute this pressurized fuel for formulating an answer to the brainstorming process of projecting possibilities into the future. Without Gate 4, mental anxiety can arise as our need to have an answer to life's pressing questions.
