You must control the gate. By controlling the gate, you can control what and who comes into your life. If you do not control the gate, you do not control your destiny because you are not controlling what comes inside. If you do not control what comes inside, you cannot know for sure what will leave. This means that you lose both control of gain and loss when you do not control the gate.

In order to control the gate you must first be aware that the gate exists. If you are not aware that there is a living concept of this “gate” then you will not appreciate it enough to control it. The easiest way to guard the gate is to control the gate before those who wish to harm you attempt to enter. The second best way to control the gate is when those who will later harm you are
accidentally coming in. The third way to control the gate is when those who will harm you are coming in intentionally. The fourth way to control the gate is after they have gotten their foot in the door and you make them leave. The fifth way to control the gate is to control it after they have come in, harmed you and deceived you, and yet you still have the strength to make them leave. These are the five ways to control the gate.

The longer you wait to control the gate, the difficult the gate will be for you to control. The more difficult the gate is to control, the less power and freedom you will have. You think that you have more freedom by being slack and not controlling the gate, because it is easier to let people in when you are eager for guest. But if you receive the wrong guest, you are only harming yourself at a later point in time. This is why you must control the gate before there is a need to control it. You control the gate on the outside so that there is nothing wrong on the inside.

The gate has two sides…the outside and the inside. And the easiest part of the gate to control is the outside of the gate. Even though the outside of the gate is further from you, it is easier to control. The inside of the gate may be closer to you and it may seem more accessible to you, but when fear or harm enters the gate, it has as much power over the inside of the gate as you do—because you have let it inside.

The best way to control the outside of the gate is to control the path that leads to the gate. By controlling the path to the gate, you can control those who find the gate. This is a screening process that takes place before they are aware of it. You can control the path, and by controlling the path you are controlling what and who finds you. The gate is small but the area the gate leads to is big. By controlling the gate that is small you can control the area inside the gate that is big. This is the power of what it means to control the entrance.

The gatekeeper who pays attention to the entrance enjoys the contents of the room the entrance leads to. When the room is crowded, the room must be emptied in order for it to be full again. This means that when a gatekeeper neglects the gate, that his room can be full of things he doesn’t want in his life because he has not controlled the gate. Now that his rooms are filled, he must empty the rooms by sending his unwanted material through the gate. So the gate can not only be used to fill, but also to empty. The entrance is the exit, and once you understand this, you will understand the gate more fully.

Use the gate, and while you use the gate, do not let too many enter or leave at the same time. If you let too many people into the gate at once, they will have a difficult time entering. This same principle applies to exiting the gate. Too much force and you will interfere with the process of exiting the gate. People will notice that the exit is crowded, and they will not leave the gate gracefully so that they exit the gate properly. If they do not exit the gate properly, then it is likely that they will not return properly. There are also those who do not wish to enter the gate who you would wish to enter. If you want them to enter the gate, you must make room for them in the area you wish for them to enter. Then, you must guide them into the gate.

The gate is more important than the area it leads to in many ways, and to guide people into the gate you must enlighten the path that leads to the gate in order for the people to see it clearly so that they will discover the benefits of entering. The gate also involves the places you wish to go, because if you wish to go somewhere, you will need to enter the gate to get there. So you must control your own gate, and you must also control the gate of other places.

Sometimes the path that leads to the gate is not manifest. If the path that leads to the gate is not manifest, then you must find the true path that leads to the gate. The true path that leads to the gate is far from the gate but it is near you. This means that we must use what is near to take us far away. And this is all a concept of controlling the gate.

Sometimes the path that leads to the gate is more important than the gate, because the path is the gate because the gate resides on the path. This means if you can discern the path, take the path, and stay on the path, that you will have power over the gate. The gate is vulnerable once the path the gate resides on leads a person to it. When people are on the path, you know they will find the gate if they stay on the path that leads to the gate long enough. The path will lead you to the gate, and the gate is the strongest weakness of the path.

Many people do not understand the importance of the gate, so it is impossible for them to comprehend the importance of the path that leads to the gate while they are far away. Being far from the gate is a matter of deception, because the gate is never far from you once you are on the path. The path is difficult to follow at times, but these difficulties you will encounter on the path will give you more power to open the gate.

Difficulties are on the path to ensure those who are on the path are worthy of the gate that the path is leading them too. The path looks simple to follow, and the gate looks difficult to open. The path is difficult to remain on, and the gate is simple to reason with once you get there. You cannot forget that the gate is one of several entrances on the path. It’s like walking a long way on a snowy night, and as you walk for very long, it gets cold and you want to leave the path to go somewhere warmer. You can leave the path because of the snow and yet still find the path again, or you can leave the path and never find it again. It is simply a matter of how you manage your inconveniences.

This is the true path that leads to the gate.
