Gate 13“The Gate of the Listener”
Listening deeply to collect stories and secrets
Summary
Gate 13 sits in the Identity Center and is known for deep listening. It draws people in, collects stories, and holds the memory of experience in a way that can later guide others.
In alignment, this gate becomes a trusted witness: it hears without needing to fix, and it shares perspective when it is welcome and useful. In distortion, it can take on emotional weight that is not its job, or it can spill what was entrusted too soon. The gift is discretion plus reflection: listening first, then making meaning.
