Gate 13 · Listening
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 13 · Listening and where it sits in the bodygraph.
In Human Design, gate 13 stands in the G centre and is called the listener: near this theme people find it easy to talk about themselves, and you find it easy to keep what you hear. In the channel with gate 33 the collected stories turn into experience that can be shared. With a personality activation the role of confidant is usually conscious; in the design it simply happens: fellow travellers open up to you about things they have kept from those closest to them. The tradition sees the gift of a witness here, the ability to notice a shared pattern in other people's stories and hand people back the meaning of their experience. Secrets stay secrets along the way; keeping them is part of the gift. Which stories reach you most often, and what do they say about the listener people see in you?
