Gate 60 is the gate of limitation — and it's one of the most uncomfortable energies in the design. It sits in the Root and creates a feeling of being stuck, constrained, unable to move. But the constraint is the point. The pressure builds inside the limitation until genuine mutation becomes possible. Try to escape the limitation prematurely and you lose the mutation. Sit with it and what comes through is entirely new.
