Gate 25 Open Heart

Someone you barely know is crying in the break room, and your feet move before you decide anything. You didn't check what you'd get back. No calculation, no inner ledger of favors owed. That reflex, love with no conditions attached, is Gate 25, Innocence. Not naivety. A frequency running under your ribs since birth. It doesn't ask if this person matters to your story. It just moves. Here's the practice. Today, help one person who can do nothing for you. No audience, no follow-up favor. Watch the Armor drop, the guardedness you didn't know you were wearing. That's the Shadow releasing its grip. What replaces it is Presence, full and unarmored. Do this again and again, and Radiance stops being a word. It becomes how a room feels when you walk in. Try it today. Come back and tell me what shifted.
