Gate 7“The Gate of the Role of the Self”
Leading the way through logic and shared vision
Summary
Gate 7 sits in the Identity Center and carries the theme of leadership through direction. It is not here to dominate; it is here to sense where the group can go and to offer a path forward when the group is receptive.
In alignment, this gate becomes a steady guide, supporting collective movement with clarity and humility. In distortion, it tries to lead without recognition, becomes controlling, or loses influence by pushing. Correct leadership arrives through invitation, reputation, and shared agreement about who is steering and why.
