The 13 Gateways of the Soul
The 13 Soul Gateways were revealed to Diana Phillips in January 2024 by the Arenal Volcano as a profound framework for understanding how Divine energy flows from the infinite All That Is into physical form. Every human and animal possesses a soul, and this sacred structure highlights how our souls embody both individuality and connection to the Divine. While all animals have souls, human souls uniquely contain 13 gateways—mirroring the Soul of All Creation.
​
Gateways 1 through 5 hold unresolved issues and pain accumulated across lifetimes, including this one. They also represent the initial separation from God, a necessary step in becoming individuated as a distinct soul. This separation, though essential, is deeply painful—even if we are not consciously aware of it. In Gateway 5, we encounter the issues we are numb to—those we are not yet ready to face. These lower gateways anchor our core emotional challenges, housing the imprints of our deepest wounds and struggles.
Starting at Gateway 6, we step into the sacred inner Divine temple. The imagery revealed to Diana was of 1,000 Mayan steps ascending to the Divine. Gateways 7 through 12 invite us into increasingly awakened states, calling us to recognize and embody our essence as a breath of the Divine. This awakening unfolds layer by layer, transforming us at every step as we come to know ourselves more fully as both human and divine.

​Through the Guided Oneness Meditation, you can journey through the 13 Gateways of the Soul of All Creation without spending a retreat week navigating the personal gateways of your own soul. While this experience does not provide the profound transformation of deep individual work, it offers a glimpse into the awakening that is always present.
As humans, duality and Oneness continually arise within us. This meditation is an opportunity to experience the essence of that unity—an awakening to what has always been.
