Channel 13-33: The Prodigal (Design of a Witness)
This is the channel of the witness: what you experience and take in, you collect and process, and later pass on as experience. The theme includes others confiding their stories in you, sometimes even strangers, and listening belongs to it as well. Wisdom can grow out of what you take in and out of your own experiences, wisdom that can be passed on as advice and guidance. The timing of sharing matters, because not everything wants to come out right away; your Authority can show you when the moment has come. Because you take in a lot, you may need time to process it, and that includes retreat and being alone. This time for yourself is part of the channel.
The two gates
Gate 13: The Gate of the Listeners
Listening is the theme of Gate 13. Part of this theme is that others confide their experiences in you, sometimes even things they would otherwise keep to themselves.
Gate 33: The Gate of Privacy
A time of distance, when what you have lived through gets processed: Gate 33 stands for retreat.
The two centers
When this channel is defined, both centers are defined.
G Center
Your identity and direction stay steady, even when your surroundings change.
Throat Center
The way you express yourself is consistent, and how it sounds depends on what your Throat is connected to.
