Overview

Understanding Gate 35

Gate 35 is the Throat's drive toward new experience — the hunger for change, progress, and variety. You are here to accumulate a wide range of experiences and eventually share what you've learned. The enthusiasm for the new is genuine. The challenge is following through on experiences long enough to extract real wisdom.

Shadow Expression: Restlessness, chasing novelty without depth.
