Ring 1 — Source
Definition
Ring 1 is the first navigable ring — the Portal of ingress. Where consciousness enters manifestation. The Wheel of Fortune (Position 10) sits here; Source is the ungoverned root governor that turns everything. Ring 1 also touches Ring 7 of the previous cycle (the octave return) — Ring 7’s aligned output becomes Ring 1 material for the next cycle.
