The thought cannot perceive Him whatsoever. Hence, He made many gates one atop the other, by which He made it possible to approach Him (Introduction of The Book of Zohar, “Two Points”).

Gates mean the gates of attainment through which we can approach the Creator as we begin to understand Him and interact with Him.

Therefore, when the gates open, a person enters the next revelation of the Creator, then the next one, and so on.

One opens them by coming closer to the Creator and passing through them to the next state in which a person must also make required corrections, thereby causing the opening of the next gate.
