Gate 40

Gate 40 carries the energy of willpower earned through work and the need for aloneness as recovery. This gate understands the deal at the heart of tribal life: I work, I provide — and in return I need space and solitude to restore. In Ra Uru Hu's system, Gate 40 pairs with Gate 37 (Friendship) through the Channel of Community: the deal of sustenance in exchange for work and rest that forms the foundation of tribal bonding.
