A SKETCH OF A WITNESS
Circuit: Feeling
Channel Type: Projected
The Prodigal Channel connects the G Center to the Throat Center through the Gate of the Listener (13) and the Gate of Privacy (33).
This is one of the Channels of Reflection and Recall. Gate 13 Listens and stores Information and Secrets, collecting memories from lessons that should be learned.
Gate 33 Withdraws to Reflect on its experiments, patiently waiting for what resides beneath the surface to reveal itself in the form of a Deeper Truth.
Background
Peculiar to Human Beings is the Desire to explore everything in Life and their impulse to do so firsthand.
The 13-33 Channel brings the Cyclical Experiential Maturation Process to completion, adding the ability to see and reflect on all aspects of an experience before sharing it later.
And this grants us our incredible advantage as a species in evolution, Self-Awareness.
This is the Prodigal, the Witness who experiences and then gathers Memories so that they can be transmitted in the form of a personal biography or a lesson in collective history.
Such Memories bring Continuity and Stability to the Evolution of Civilization from one generation to the next.
Personal
Being a natural Listener and Custodian, you collect life stories, secrets, and mementos.
So, you withdraw to ponder and organize what you have gathered in preparation for sharing your Reflections in the Lessons you have discovered from them.
Your Challenge is Time. You don’t want to reveal your Secrets before their Time, or keep them so private that no one will ever listen to them.
You are willing to break with the patterns of Family and Society as well as to choose experiences that are correct for you to learn from.
Most people enter experiences with a specific expectation, but at the end of the Cycle, they discover that the outcome does not match their expectations.
They lose patience and miss the Magic of Fulfillment with its valuable Lessons.
Share with all of us the fact that, starting from your experience, it is much more satisfying to simply witness the sequence of events unfolding than to endure the frustration and disappointment of unmet expectations.
The Wisdom gained over time from this patient form of reflection reveals one of the great truths in our Collective History.
One of the Lessons with the greatest value that you witness and share with us is how to comfortably surrender to the personal process as a Passenger Consciousness.
Interpersonal
The Abstract Collective says, “I remember my experience or inexperience.” Over a lifetime, those with the Prodigal Channel accumulate gems of Wisdom that can be organized as lessons in a collective or personal story.
This organization requires patience. They might love Photography, albums of memories, or listening to people recall their life stories.
They could be Politicians, Comedians, or our Confidant.
Those with the 13-33 Channel seek in the end to learn from the past, so they are not good at predicting the future to meet the challenges of the present. They are, however, the first to tell us that life makes sense in the end.

With its gift for Listening, seeing, and storing Secrets, Gate 13 provides continuity between the past and the future in its role as the Listener.
You are perceived as a Confidant and a Guardian of secrets. People naturally share their experiences with you because you genuinely listen to their stories, adventures, victories, and challenges.
They feel that you are comfortable keeping within yourself what has been shared. Gate 13 is not pressured by the Throat Center to speak.
You will recognize the opportune moment to share what has the most value from your memory, as it will be drawn to people who can select, organize, and reflect on it correctly to share it with the larger Community, like people with Gate 33.
In this way, you ensure that important lessons, which can only be learned through experience, are kept and cherished until the right time for them to contribute to the understanding of humanity itself.
Historical continuity informs our future as a species. Without Gate 33, your Secrets might never be shared.
Gate 33 marks the end of a Cycle, and built into each end, there is a moment of silence to consider every aspect of the experience.
This is where your need for solitude comes from.
Retreat for you emerges in that moment of uncertainty between the completed experience and the new one, a pause that allows reflection on what to carry forward as you renew your strength.
It is in the quiet moments of contemplation that the lessons of greatest value, stored in the depths of the Collective memory (Gate 13), will come to the surface.
In Gate 33, your need for Privacy is connected to the Collective Voice of “I Remember.” It is also in your nature to share the lessons of experience and reveal its truths.
The experience can be yours, or others’, or even a group of people; the process is the same.
When the time is ripe, you will be asked to share your Wisdom, which then becomes part of the larger Community and the evolution of Human Awareness.
Like the Prodigal, you mature over the course of life, and your realm of influence expands through each Cycle of Experience. Without Gate 13, you might not have the correct sense of time to share your lessons.
