Gate 27 · Caring

Gate 27 is the Sacral drive to nurture, feed, and care for others. This is tribal at its core: it is about ensuring the survival and wellbeing of the group through acts of caring. The gift and the shadow are the same quality at different settings: the capacity to give so much that it depletes the self. Gate 27 sits in the Sacral and connects to Gate 50 in the Spleen via the Channel of Preservation (27-50). Gate 50 holds the values and laws about how the tribe should be cared for; Gate 27 provides the generative energy of actual caring action.
