Gate 35 · Change & experience
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 35 · Change & experience and where it sits in the bodygraph.
In the bodygraph, gate 35 sits in the Throat centre and, together with gate 36, forms the channel of changeability: the road from emotional hunger to lived experience. The tradition describes this theme as a collector of experiences: the point is to try, live it and move on rather than to own or repeat. In the personality it often shows as conscious boredom with routine and a pull to novelty; in the design it is an unnoticed knack for turning up where something is happening. The system also names the flip side: after a rich run of impressions comes a sense of already knowing this, and the pause here is part of the rhythm rather than lost pace. Which of your changes happened for the experience, and which were an escape from boredom?
