The concept
In the Sumerian myth of Inanna, the goddess descends through seven gates, shedding one garment at each threshold until she arrives at the underworld naked and powerless. The chakra system maps the same geometry: seven stations of consciousness, each representing a contraction of pure awareness into increasingly dense forms of experience. This design treats the descent not as failure but as the precondition of form. You cannot incarnate without narrowing.
