Why are the Sphinx locks about direction and the Vessel of Love locks about holding together?

Because the two crosses of the G Center carry the two functions of the magnetic monopole. Ra describes the monopole as doing two things: it holds us together, and it orients us in our movement. The Vessel of Love, Gates 10, 15, 25 and 46, is the holding together side. He says plainly that it is not about direction, it is about keeping things together, which is why the Vessel keys name the cycle and shape how people live together: the Way, the Temple, the Nature, the Pattern. The Sphinx, Gates 1, 2, 7 and 13, is direction. He draws it as a trident, 7, 1 and 13 with the 2 below, where the monopole sits, and says that for a Global Cycle the Sphinx shows not only where humanity goes but the movement of all life. So when he reads a cycle, he reads the Vessel keys for the social texture and the Sphinx keys for where the program is heading.

This is not a fact, not medical advice and not a promise of healing. It is part of the cosmology Ra Uru Hu, who founded Human Design, left behind, and nobody knows exactly how it will unfold.
