Talent by its very design is so often dependent on others for manifestation.
The defining of the Spleen to the Throat,
allows only for verbal manifestation.
Every gate of the Throat center has a voice.
The 16th gate says,
'I experiment'.
Since the Understanding Circuit is about patterns and focus,
it makes a clear statement about the quality of talent being dependent on repetition.
Constant experimentation,
over and over,
goaded by the critical capacity,
to find the 'perfect' expression.
The 16th gate is the gate of Skills,
the ancient Chinese Hexagram of Music,
Dance and the Arts.
However,
this gate is not specifically about the fine Arts,
inherent in its capacity is skills for living;
a talent for life.
One of the keys to Design Analysis is to recognize that harmonic gates are always projecting each other's attributes on the other.
The 48 is always self-critical about not having enough skills,
and the 16,
not enough depth and more complex,
the 48 will confuse skills with depth and the 16,
vice versa.
This was the relationship of John Lennon (48) and Paul McCartney (16).
