If you want to know which gates are activated in your individual design, get your personal Human Design Chart from us, as mentioned above. Then in your chart, you will find a red column on the left, these are your unconscious gates, and on the right of your Human Design chart, you will find a black column. These black numbers are your conscious activated gates. And then, on my website, you can open the respective gates and read through which aspects are activated as a potential in your design. 🙂

The true purpose of gate 17 if YOU follow your strategy and authority and thus unleash the potential of the gate:

 

With Gate 17 in your design, you form an opinion based on logical vision and logical concepts, and the logical interpretation of reality.

You are looking for logical concepts that can take away the fear of the future because they survive the test of time and criticism.

You carry within you the potential for logical solutions and have a love for discussion, curiosity for the opinions of others, always keeping it to your own opinion.

 

The Not-Self quality of gate 17 if you do NOT follow your strategy and authority, but base your decisions on your mind`s command:

 

Then you persist with Gate 17 on absurd opinions WITHOUT facts, and your Mind then uses them to make decisions to fall flat on your face, yep, just like that. 😉

You really despair of people who behave illogically, and you try to process everything through the logical glasses and break because it is not always possible.

With Goal 17, you lose yourself in pointless discussions that lead to no result and no solution, driving yourself and others mad.

You tend to force your opinion on others and are blind to other perspectives, especially if it is not logical.

You are completely overwhelmed when something doesn’t make sense and are obsessed with finding the logic in everything, so you are overwhelmed with abstract and individual concepts.

Potentially, with Goal 17, you have the problem of sharing your opinion/perspective.

Would you like to have all the gates from our website in the form of a handy PDF that you can carry with you at all times, print out, and have available offline without having to search the site for the individual gates of your design or click through?

Then you can get your personal FREE copy of the Ebook “The 64 Gates in the Human Design System”! Click here.

 In the e-book, we have also added the following additional information to each gate that is not on the website:

1. what kind of gate (whether individual, collective or tribal)
2. to which channel this gate belongs with the channel name
3. when this gate is activated in the annual transits

Of course, this article is only a tiny glimpse into Gate 17, and to understand Gate 17 even better in your Human Design, you need to look at it in the context of Type, Strategy & Authority, and the rest of the definitions of your individual Human Design, then you will an even bigger picture.

AND, unfortunately, to be able to tap into and unleash the full potential of this gate, it is NOT enough to just know that you have this gate, because then you will still be far from living it, or really fulfilling its potential. Most often the potential of this gate will be distorted by your mind.  

Therefore, it is essential to tap into the potential of your design through STRATEGY AND AUTHORITY. As a CONSEQUENCE, you will unleash the potential of each gate in your individual design. But this can only be done mechanically through your individual strategy and authority and not mentally.

Because if you don’t live according to your strategy and authority, you can have the greatest and most brilliant gates in your design and have your perfect symphony of type, strategy and authority, your channels and your gates, BUT you will NOT live the potential of all these gates or rather suppress and distort it IF YOU don’t live according to your strategy and authority but have your openness and your Mind be the slavedriver in your life.

In my in-depth analysis, we look at the gate IN CONTEXT, and in the context of the planet, that activates the gate, the lines in detriment, and exaltation, and of course, your design and thus what it means to YOU individually! Most people are blown away by the in-depth analyses when they discover that they have such a brilliant potential, some of which they haven’t even tapped into yet, and are then motivated by following their Strategy & Authority to unleash their full potential!!! 🙂
