Death, Transition, Remembering, Doors

The passage through a door or window represents death, but it doesn’t represent the end of life. In fact, it represents the rebirth or transition of one’s life into something else; some say something more magnificent or more enlightened. In order to release the opposition of the two worlds gained through the transition, it is necessary to experience loss and remember what has been lost. This cycle of loss, death, transition, remembering and rebirth, by crossing through a passageway, is exemplified by the ancient Sumerian myth of Inanna, and her descent into the underworld. In her journey, she loses everything material and external, allowing her to be reborn with the more important gift of knowledge.
