Through experimentation, Peter Brown had a suspicion that the villagers here might have arrived with someone who was eligible to enter the Sacred Gate of the Path. Unfortunately, while that person could lead them inside, they could not take them too far and eventually, they had to settle here.
It was an unbelievable thing, the more Peter Brown thought about it here, the more he felt it was the case.
To open, move, and maintain the Sacred Gate of the Path, a substantial amount of Kindness energy was needed. Ordinary people, without ample preparation and unaware of the situation here, simply could not acquire so much Kindness energy. When they realized they could enter and even bring others, they probably thought they were becoming saints and should bring their family members. However, after entering, they discovered this place was not as expected, and when they wanted to send people back, their family members could no longer return, thus they had to survive in this dangerous place.
