What does the name Orion's Gate mean?
The name Orion's Gate comes from the nature of the Orion constellation itself. In its midst is a vast corridor over a thousand light years wide which leads into the heart of Orion. At its end there are dense clouds billion of miles across that hide an incredible source of brilliant light of unknown origin. It is believed by some that hidden behind the vast cloud formations of Orion lies heaven itself. If so, then anyone that teaches people how to prepare themselves to live in heaven becomes a gateway to eternity. Since this is our goal we have named ourselves "Orion's Gate" and our chief desire is to be "a doorway to forever."
