The Channel of Curiosity (11-56)

What it means

The Channel of Curiosity connects the Ajna's ideas with the Throat's talent for storytelling. It is endlessly looking for stimulation and new perspectives, and it turns experience into stories that teach.

The stories are for sharing, not for deciding. The ideas are rich, but the right moment to tell them is when someone is listening.

Its circuit

It belongs to the Collective circuit's Sensing branch, which learns through experience and shares the stories of the past so others can learn from them.
