Gate 21 · Control

Gate 21 carries the tribal drive to manage and control: specifically material resources, territory, and the practical mechanisms of the group. This is Ego-powered. When Gate 21 says it will control something, it means it. Gate 21 sits in the Heart/Ego Center and connects to Gate 45 in the Throat via the Channel of the Banker (21-45). This is one of the primary tribal channels, governing the practical management of collective resources. Gate 21 is Ego-powered: the will force behind this gate is real and must be honored. Blocking Gate 21's need to manage is a reliable way to trigger the Ego's shadow.
