Dear M.,

>> This is very interesting, are these gates approached in Key to the
True Kaballah? <<

No. KTK is an entirely different ball of wax.

>> At what point does one begin this work? <<

The "231 Gates of Initiation" specifically, can be pursued as a path of
kabbalistic self-initiation in conjunction with the "Eight Temples
Meditation Project" work. The 8T describes the initiatory work that's
required to attain each Sephirot (mainly in the "Follow-up work"
sections) and the "231 Gates of Initiation" depict the "tasks" which
integrate the new level of awareness into the former levels and thus
enable the next rise. This method of kabbalistic self-initiation
integrates very well with Bardon's self-initiation into Hermetics.

For example, one can pursue the Malkuth meditation ritual and begin the
work of Step One. When Step One and the "follow-up" work within the
Malkuth Temple have both been completed, one begins Step Two and pursues
the Yesod meditation ritual. Once Step Two and the "follow-up" work
within the Yesod Temple have both been completed, one "works" the first
Gate in the Initiation sequence. Then one moves on to Step Three and
the Hod meditation ritual. Etc.

My best to you,
