Gate 40: Aloneness

This gate provides the willpower to work for the tribe, and requires aloneness afterwards.

It sits in the Heart centre, so its expression depends on whether that centre is defined in your chart. A gate on its own is a half-channel: it only becomes consistent definition when a partner gate — 37 — is activated too, either in your own chart or in someone else's while you are with them.

Working without rest until the will collapses.

Reliable delivery, plus enough solitude to recover.

As with every gate, correct expression is downstream of your type and authority. The gate describes the flavour of the energy; your strategy decides when it gets used.
