Paths & Gates: the distinction

Paths describe fixed letter pathways; Gates describe paired letters.

Understand the idea

In Babylon, paths and Gates are connected but different structures. The current protocol describes 22 fixed letter paths operating in all four Worlds. A letter-pair Gate brings two letter qualities together. Neither should be confused with the three Great Gates or with a moving zodiac chamber.

MAKE IT PRACTICAL

An example to work with

When teaching, name the layer first: “This is a letter path,” or “This is a letter-pair Gate.”
