Question: There are many interesting terms in the article “Lock and Key” from The Book of Zohar. It turns out that we have a lock, a key, and a gate. How do we work with these terms?

Answer: They are in our properties. If we get closer to each other, we will gradually approach the gate, find the lock, and even find out that we have the key to it. With the help of this key we will be able to open the lock, open the gate, and enter the halls of the Creator.

Comment: If I understand correctly, there are some secrets of the universe, and there are gates. First, I have to find the gate that symbolizes the transition from state to state. But there is a lock in the gate, some kind of a barrier, so that we cannot immediately reveal the property of bestowal.

My Response: We cannot reveal it all at once but only after six Sefirot. If the Creator were revealed to a person in his egoism, he would immediately run away from this because of his opposite properties.

And when he finds the key inside himself, he gradually opens the 49 locks of the gates (barriers), and approaching the 50^th gate, he understands that all life is in bestowal.
