Gate 26 is the salesperson's gate — the ability to package something and make it compelling. This isn't manipulation; it's influence rooted in genuine belief. When you're selling something you actually believe in, the persuasion is natural and effective. When you're selling something you don't, the whole thing collapses. The ego center demands honesty in its transactions.
