The enclosure is the womb, and the ten doors are the ten orifices of an human, namely the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, the apertures for discharge of excreta and urine, and the navel.

When the child is still in its mother's womb, the navel is open, but all the other apertures are shut, but when the child issues from the womb the navel is closed and the other orifices are open.

This is a good one.Hmmm let me give it a try: When the child is born, the soul leaves the eternal, opening the fetus. When the person dies, that closes the nine orifices of the human body, and the door of the soul returns to Eternity, the doors of life close, the door of eternity opens. Still, this seems to leave something to be desired.

This is a biblical riddle from the story of Solomon and Sheba...

"What is it? An enclosure with ten doors; when one is open, nine are shut, and when nine are open, one is shut," Sheba asked Solomon. Solomon answered, "The enclosure is the womb, and the ten doors are the ten orifices of man, namely his eyes, his ears, his nostrils, his mouth, the apertures for discharge of excreta and urine, and the navel. When the child is still in its mother's womb, the navel is open, but all the other apertures are shut, but when the child issues from the womb the navel is closed and the other orifices are open."

Is this right?

Anger is very straightforward to precise and can be helpful if controlled. I.e. workout or only motivation to advance your existence. Get mad that none of those issues are your fault. you may not blame your self and you may not blame others the two. there is not any fault and no person has been forsaken, till you forsake your self.

idk. but this makes sense to me =]


a dam?

there are 10 doors or chambers if you would. when the water level is at a certain point the one door opens and the other 9 close. this is to regulate the amount of water to make sure you don't overflow. when the water level gets too high then the one door closes and the other 9 open to get rid of more water. then when the level drops down to the desired level the 9 doors close and the 1 reopens.
