The Gatekeeper

In front of each threshold stands a guardian.

He doesn't carry weapons, he doesn't shout threats.

Its presence is silent but relentless: it is made up of doubts, fears, inner resistance.

The watchman is not there to stop you, but to ask you who you are.

It does not protect the threshold from you: it protects you from what you are not yet ready to encounter.

Because every opening leads to change, and no change is without price.

To cross means to leave something behind: an illusion, a habit, a mask.

Many flee in front of the watchman, others stay to observe.

Only those who recognize and accept it discover that the guardian is not an enemy, but a part of themselves.

The real breakthrough is not opened by force, but by the courage to look within.

Then the threshold lights up.
