In the past couple of days, we’ve been getting a sample of Gate 37, the gate of Friendship. It’s the awareness of how to nurture the emotional needs of friendships + communities.

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.” ― Jane Austen

A few weeks ago we talked about:

• 19 Gate of Wanting, which is the pressure to interact with others in order to get our needs met.
• It then connects to 49 Gate of Principles, which is the awareness of what principles are needed/aligned to get into relationships

Gate 37, is the energy that keeps said relationships together through recognizing the needs along with the exchange, the bargain to meet them.

From Solar Plexus to Ego Center

Coming from the Solar Plexus—the emotional awareness and motor center, 37 Gate of Friendship is the awareness of how to nurture the emotional needs of friendships + communities

Moving towards the Ego—the motor center for willpower, ego & the material world. Where 40 Gate of Aloneness is the will to work and provide while balancing work and rest.

Together they form the 37-40 Channel of Community.

“Give and you shall receive” encapsulates this energetic exchange nicely. Because it isn’t just about meeting needs in the bargain, it’s about the possibility to build something + flourish together.

This is the energy of supporting the community’s emotional needs. “I do this for you in exchange for…” Even if it’s not spoken out loud, the bargain is the social contract that keeps us together. It’s a naturally giving energy that expects everyone to be equally giving and supportive as well.

Yet the 37 without the 40, it might not always have the energy to provide, to balance work + rest, or know their limits & boundaries (and end up overgiving as a result)

Community/Tribal Circuit & Projected Energy

Fear of Gate 37

The fear frequency of the 37 is Fear of Tradition. According to Ra, it’s the fear of getting trapped in or having to live up to traditional Tribal roles that are not aligned to you. Not being able to meet the expectations that are attached to those traditions.

We’re always evolving; ourselves, our communities and cultures have gone through profound transformation (and are still going through).If you have this gate, how can you hold what worked in the past but also release the expectations for things to “be done the same”.

How can you hold space to align your values with how you want to show up? How can you allow your emotional depth + compassion extend to others?

Wisdom of Gate 37

“Experienced as friendship, the 37th Gift is the glue that holds humanity together. In fact, true friendliness is the universal mark of the Gift frequency. Our current age is truly an exciting time to be alive because this 37th Gift is giving birth to a new social paradigm all across our planet. It will create out of itself a new social framework that synthesises business, education and family rather than setting them apart from each other. It will also bring an end to isolated family groupings and communities by networking, both geographically and globally, to create a new model for community that is based upon giving rather than controlling. This energetic type of friendliness will also bring an end to the notion of separate communities based on the worship of an external God or authority.”— Richard Rudd
