The Seven Gates to Enlightenment

Unlocking the seven prisons

In the journey of self-mastery, understanding and mastering the seven chakras, or the ‘Seven Gates’, is pivotal. These chakras, often perceived as energy centers, are in actual fact seals that lock your consciousness into the physical realm. How tight the lock is depends on several factors – for some the seal is ‘looser’ on one or all of these gates. When all 7 gates are unlocked – it leads to drastic physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth that can be dubbed as ‘enlightenment’ for lack of a better word. The process of unlocking these gates is not merely about awareness but mastering their functions and lessons to free yourself from their burdens and regain your true God-like power.

The Concept of Chakras as Seals

Each chakra or ‘gate’ represents a specific aspect of our being and holds unique challenges and lessons. They act as seals because they keep certain energies locked deep within us, until we are ready to wield them. By understanding and mastering these energies, we can unlock these seals and allow a free flow of divine energies to emanate from within – healing, activating and super-charging every atom of our being.

The Process of Mastery

The journey through these gates is not linear but rather a spiral, where each level of mastery brings deeper insights and challenges. Here’s a guide to navigating this path:

1. Awareness and Understanding: The first step is gaining a deep awareness of the perceived self – a portion of which can be found in each gate’s functions and the lessons it offers. This requires introspection and possibly guidance from a mentor or spiritual guide.
2. Healing: The next step involves healing that part of you that has been bound at each Gate. This can be achieved through various practices such meditation, breath-work, and the practise of forgiveness.
3. Integration and Application: True mastery involves applying the lessons of each gate/chakra in daily life. This means living the principles of stability, creativity, power, love, expression, intuition, and spiritual connection.
4. Reflection and Growth: Regular reflection on personal growth and the challenges faced at each gate is essential. This continuous process leads to deeper insights and further growth.

The Impact of Mastery

Mastering the Seven Gates leads to a profound transformation at all levels. Physically, there’s increased vitality, health and ability. Mentally, it brings clarity, peace of mind and a godlike ability to use all your mental faculties (the average person has access to around 8-14%). Those closer to 14% are considered to have genius level intelligence. Emotionally, it fosters resilience and a balanced state of being. Spiritually, it connects one to a higher consciousness, universal love, universal power and universal wisdom.

Summary

It’s about moving beyond the limitations imposed by these so called energy centers and embracing the full spectrum of human experience.
