Seven gates give us access to spiritual life. The seven gates have entrance codes for how to live in such a way that we become aware of the spiritual aspects of life. The codes teach us to develop as spiritual people. We can choose to enter the spiritual world through each of the gates. When we fully wish to explore the spiritual reality, we need to open all the gates and the seven gates will merge into one Great Gate to spiritual life.
THE 1ST GATE OF ETERNAL LIFE
Code: Do everything you do for an eternal good future
Description: Spiritual life is eternal life. Our physical life will end but our spiritual life continues into the eternal future. Making us aware of the eternal aspects of life and the consequences of what we do for the future makes us spiritual persons.
THE 2ND GATE OF ORIGINAL LIFE
Code: Live to keep your origin pure
Description: All life originated in the spiritual reality. Spiritual life existed before physical life. Physical life was created out from the spiritual and spiritual life is still the essence of physical life. Our physical existence is a school to learn about the spiritual. All life was created as ideal life. By connecting to the original ideal for our life, we become spiritual people.
THE 3RD GATE OF CONNECTED LIFE
Code: Realize your connection to everything that exists
Description: All spiritual beings are connected to one another through invisible threads of love and energy. Whatever we do, it affects the world around us. The world of nature is part of the same great organism. By serving the world of nature and the people around us and the spiritual beings and the Creator we enrich us as spiritual beings.
THE 4TH GATE OF COMPLETE LIFE
Code: Become a complete and perfected person
Description: We are not only physical people but we are also spiritual beings. Perfecting or completing us means to unite our spiritual with our physical aspects. The unity of myself as spiritual and physical being will be established by focusing my life goals on unity with God. Discover all there is in life and learn to master life in goodness and fullness of being.
HE 5TH GATE OF CREATIVE LIFE
Code: Create yourself and your environment
Description: We are creative beings. In the spiritual world we can only live well if we learned to create ourselves and our environment in the best possible way. Creativity has no limits. We create our own physical life and we create our own spiritual life. The spiritual world has many boundaries. All these boundaries can be opened through our creativity.
THE 6TH GATE OF COSMIC LIFE
Code: Become a cosmic individual
Description: We have been created as a mini-cosmos. We carry in us all the elements of the cosmos. The cosmos is the united spiritual and physical cosmos. By expanding our awareness of our potential as a cosmic citizen, we will explore the spiritual reality and the spiritual world will open itself for us.
THE 7TH GATE OF DIVINE LIFE
Code: Realize yourself as a divine being
Description: It has been written that we were created in the image of God. In essence this means that we are divine beings. God lives in each of us. When we let God work through us we will realize our highest potential and become fullest spiritual beings.
THE GREAT GATE OF SPIRITUAL LIFE
Code: By keeping the codes of the seven gates we will enter the Great Gate of spiritual life
