The process to encapsulate the irritant takes years and a pearl is produced.. Durring that time, the oyster undergoes tremendous suffering . Think of it as if you had a splinter inserted under your eyelid. From this great suffering comes a treasure. The road to The Crown of Life is paved with the pearls of your suffering and the suffering of those before you.

Perhaps you could give the 2end gate a name. The importance in this gate is that there is a narrow bridge that allows you to passover the great gulf. Thegreat gulf separates . When you passover the great gulf, you are now in another place. This place has that gate right at the begining. That gate tells all that they have come short of what is requirered of them for all of us have violated the principles that the gate requireres of us now. We have all failed to love our neighbor. We have all failed to give mercy to our neighbor. We have all failed to be kind to our neighbor. We are failures. We are suffering because of that. We need to start anew and that gate starts a new beginning. We must put off the old self. We must be renewed and overcome our affliction. Perhaps you can create a name for that gate.
