Gate 29 · Commitment

There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 29 · Commitment and where it sits in the bodygraph.

In Human Design, gate 29 lives in the Sacral centre and carries the energy of commitment: the strength to say yes and hold to the choice until the end. In the channel with gate 46 that persistence joins the body's love of the process itself: once drawn in, it can carry you across long distances. As a personality activation it registers as readiness to sign up for serious things; in the design it is stamina that carries you through the middle stretch where many turn back. The tradition points at the entry: the strength of this gate opens on a yes said from response, and stalls on a yes said out of politeness. That is an observation to experiment with, no rule. What can you agree to with your whole self, and which of your yeses go through gritted teeth?
