8 Gates
from the Free eBook “Light of Be-ing“

“Like the walls of a prison,
the beliefs that we hold
restrict, confine and define
our world and how we perceive reality.”
“True freedom lies beyond
unbound by beliefs and judgments
and is the essence of our be-ing.”
Mark Naea
Like “a finger pointing to the moon”, the verses of “The 3 Keys” and “The 8 Gates” point to that which is both timeless and real. They are not teachings in respect to their content, nor are they rules or precepts to follow. To describe them as such would be to miss the whole point of their message, as in concentrating on the finger and not seeing that which it is pointing to.
“You don’t understand. My wing. I can’t move my wing.”
“Maynard Gull, you have the freedom to be yourself, your true self, here and now, and nothing can stand in your way . . .”
“Are you saying I can fly?”
“I say you are free.”
“As simply and as quickly as that, Kirk Maynard Gull spread his wings, effortlessly, and lifted into the dark night air.”
Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Richard Bach
The 8 Gate cards visually present the restrictions and judgments ego uses to imprison who we think we are. Their imagery lays bare the ideas and central core of those beliefs. Each person will see something different, like looking at a rainbow, no two people will experience it in the same way.
