THE CHANNEL 11/56 - THE CHANNEL OF CURIOSITY
“The channel 11/56. the Channel of Curiosity is a great tease to all those who are seeking in the New Age movement.
This is because this is the channel of the seeker but not the finder. There is nothing to be found here because this is not about accomplishment.
Remember, the entire Sensing Circuit is about seeking experience for the sake of experience.
This channel being in the mind is all about teaching from experience rather than creating experience.
This is the ability to tell a story about an accomplishment but it is not accomplishment itself.
The 11th gate the gate of ideas is a great teaching gate. In fact. the 4th line of this gate is the most profound teaching gate in Human Design.
Karl Marx had the 11th gate. And when he had put all the pieces together and filled in all the gaps between his ideas. the result was Marxism.
The 56 is a great gift; it is the gate where the sequence is translated into a story.
In the 56 you take all the bits and pieces of information and you elaborate upon them; you fill in the gaps, add some color, throw in a little bit of sex and make it into a story.
You can tell a parable if you want to be spiritual so that the wisdom you have from the experience is easier for the other to grasp. But the point is that it must all come from your own experience.
This 11/56 is a storytelling gift, It is very different from the other side; the 17/62 - that needs to present its data and facts.
Incidentally, so often the 17/62s are labeled boring, but they are not. If you are also focussed on the facts, then they are not boring at all.
But the 11/56 is not interested in the facts. They simply want to bring a story to life so that it stimulates others.
It is a great trap for 11/56s to imagine that any of these ideas or stories can guide their life [on the other hand], 11/56s who think that they are telling a story for themselves get into a lot of trouble.
We are dealing here with the Collective circuits, and unlike the Individual, they are not personal.
The gift of these people is to be able to share their experience or their accomplishment through a story.
Many people who are very accomplished can't tell their stories. It is interesting to me that in this day and age, one of the most incredible genres in literature is the autobiography.
People are always telling you about their lives. Some of them need ghostwriters because they are not very good at telling the story themselves.
Some people have to learn how to tell a good story, and these are usually the people that start off telling jokes or paraphrasing stories that they heard from someone else.
It is a great gift to take your life experience and to be able to fashion it into a story for someone else. This is what the 11 /56 is all about. And again, it is a projected channel, so it needs to be invited.
So often we do not want to hear these people and their endless stories. They can be every bit as boring as the 17/62s.
But when they are invited to speak, then these storytellers are
magical.
We have lost the era of the storyteller that comes to the village. Nowadays, due to our technology, we have all kinds of new ways of telling stories.
We have talking heads that are on shows.
We have people that go on talk shows and tell us
everything about their lives.
The tradition of the individual storyteller has mostly passed. It is very important for 11/56s to be nurtured in their storytelling.
If you have an 11 /56 child, when they come home from school, you have to ask them what
happened to them that day.
They have to be able to tell their stories, even if they are only half-truths. The art of storytelling is very important.
