This Gate is part of the Channel of The Alpha, For 'Good' or 'Bad' a Design of Leadership, linking the Throat Center (Gate 31) to the G Center (Gate 7). Gate 31 is part of the Collective Understanding (Logic) Circuit with the keynote of sharing.

Gate 31 is designed to be influential. Collective leadership is collegial, not hierarchical. It provides the vision for a new direction and shows others how to achieve it, rather than doing it for them. The 31st gate manifests its potential for verbal influence through election. When money is the energy used to move a person into a position of power, instead of the cooperative will of the people, the Collective's overall ability to ensure humanity's future is easily perverted. Our voice through the 31st gate, "I lead," is not heard until backed by the energy of the majority. The people are the ones who must act on what our voice says.

The influence of our vision for society will not be transferred or felt without the Collective's energy moving it into the public realm. Our leadership must take into account the desires of our followers, and address the good of the whole. 'I lead' means influencing others, for good or for ill, by effectively transferring our vision for a new and test-worthy pattern to them to carry out. Without the presence of Gate 7, we may seem like just an empty voice.
