DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Unlocking the Chinese Gate offers an innovative analysis of gates in early Chinese thought and material culture. Observing gates from various perspectives—including philosophy, architecture, and psychology—and through the conceptual lens of Chinese correlative thinking, Galia Dor conceptualizes the Chinese gate as a membrane-like apparatus that, from the space "in-between," efficaciously manifests (de) the Way (dao) into the "ten thousand" forms of actualized life. This methodology exposes an open-to-closed gradation between pairs of inside/outside (wai/nei) that resonates throughout the Chinese model of psychocosmic concentric circles. The consequential strategies (e.g., continuity/break, chaos/order) demonstrate how early Chinese cosmological, philosophical, and political idealities, as well as afterlife religious beliefs, were applied—including the various approaches to and practices of self-cultivation. The book sheds new light on ancient Chinese thought and material culture and offers points of comparison to Western thought and modern science, including a model of "decision-gating" that carries relevant implications and insights to our current lives.

An arcane process that changes the initiate forever, it is rarely talked about and thus continues to be cloaked in secrecy. This astounding book, co-written by one of the most respected teachers and Initiators alive today, explains exactly what it means to be initiated into a group, who chooses to follow that path, and what they have to go through in the process. This book is especially powerful because it also examines, through astrological charts, the inner path, and challenges, of the person undergoing the initiation. It is a book to treasure.
