GATE FORTY

The Gate of Aloneness

HARMONIC GATE: 37

CIRCUIT: TRIBAL (EGO)

DELIVERANCE.

There are three gates that are knows as the gates of social caution - this is one of them. I know that sounds very fitting right now.  Never fear all of the gates are behaviours that have lasted the test of time because they are required to the human species. The energy of this gate is part of the channel of community (37-40), yet this is the lonely side. This is the gate that fuels the tribe with will power and motivation, yet the person carrying it can feel as though they are the lone wolf. This is the energy of being separated from the group or the family (which is sometimes necessary to be heard, seen, or to follow one’s conviction).

This is the tipping point between struggle and liberation. The struggle of knowing you are a part of a tribe but feeling like an outsider, feeling like the one who is always standing alone in the crowd, the one with all the willpower carrying everyone else along, but in that there is a point at which one can become liberated from that need to be supported by the tribe. This is the person who says I know this looks bad but in 5 years time you will thank me for standing up for us in this, even if you cannot see it now. 

With this gates energy you may feel very lonely in general which in many cases drives them to reach out to others. This need to connect and to do so never quite shake the sense of loneliness. So this energy may find themselves focusing on the lack of connection rather than the actual connection, often feeling the most lonely with the people they love or in large crowds. No matter how much attention and love they get, they will feel alone to some level. Awareness is key. If you have this energy and are aware that this is simply who you are and not the direct result of someone else's behaviour you can rest easy with your feelings of aloneness and know its not for a lack of people who love you, it is in fact because you hold the willpower of the tribe to get up and get going so it feels like your going it alone.

Being alone and loneliness may be illuminated in your world if you have this gate activated constantly, or while this gate is in the transits.

How do you cope with that feeling of being alone?

*The way I translate the gates is a mixture of Human Design source material; textbooks, transcripts, audios & second generation HD material, integrations from IRL, client sessions, mentoring & personal experience.
