Gate 61 · Inner truth
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 61 · Inner truth and where it sits in the bodygraph.
In the Human Design tradition, gate 61 sits in the Head centre and, together with gate 24, forms the channel of awareness: the pressure to know meets a mind that returns to a thought until it settles into place. The theme of this gate is inner truth: the questions about why everything is arranged this way that no reference book answers. In the personality it shows as a conscious pull toward mystery, the big questions, the workings of the world, what lies past the edge of the known; in the design it is night tides of thought arriving uninvited. The system suggests dropping the deadline on such questions: some of them exist as a source of inspiration rather than as tasks. Which big question has travelled with you for years, and what does it give you even while staying open?
