Gate 39: Provocation — Obstruction
Gate 39 is located in the Root Center and corresponds to hexagram 39 of the I Ching — "Obstruction". This is the gate of provocation, which pressures the emotional wave of others to reveal truth.
A person with Gate 39 is a natural provocateur of spirit — they instinctively know how to create pressure that reveals who has soul and who does not.
