On the “negative” spectrum, Human Design Gate 14 The high-frequency expression is the energy for prosperity, dream work, and inspiration. This gate shows the path for creating prosperity through following your dreams.

Human Design: Gate 14 - Power Skills

Gate 14 empowers direction for the individual and humanity through the distribution of available resources. The Gate of Power Skills makes sure that mutation is supported and shows us how to invest our resources in order to expand our horizons. The Sacral Center, when defined, has the energy to sustain long hours of creative work, and the 14th gate is fertile power at its most exalted. This is the gas pedal that controls when and how the resources are released. When we are aligned with our design, and doing the work we love to do, we will generate wealth and power. These resources are not directly for our own use, however, but ours to manage in order to empower others, to support individual creativity, charitable activities, or leaders with a vision for humanity's future. But throwing our money at anything and everyone is a poor investment. To protect our valuable life force energy from misuse or abuse by others, and to remain properly aligned in order to bring out the right mutative direction, we need to follow our Authority. When properly directed by Gate 2 our resources can become a significant catalyst for empowering change in the world.


Gene Keys: 1st Key - From Compromise to Bounteousness

In the Gene Keys, Key 14 is a profound invitation to transition from the shadow of Compromise to the siddhi of Bounteousness, with Competence being the transformative gift.

Shadow - Compromise:

  • At the shadow level, Gene Key 14 deals with Compromise, where one might find themselves settling for less than they are capable of or sacrificing their values for short-term gains.
  • Personal Application: Recognize where you may be compromising your potential or values. Consciously move away from situations that do not align with your true abilities and worth.
