Intriguingly, the Symbol of the Origin, while instrumental in the enchainment facilitated by the Kalachakra Key, is also described in a different context. It is referred to as the Key to the Gates of Shambalah. This suggests a dual nature or function. The Symbol of the Origin is said to possess the power to remind the Traitorous Gods of their original betrayal and to confront them with the Absolute Truth of the Spirit. It is suggested that this Symbol of the Origin can potentially dissolve the "absolute Lie of Material Creation" that the Traitorous Siddhas sustain.
Those who uphold the Kalachakra system and seek to keep spirits chained under the Symbol of the Origin are identified as the Masters of the Kâlachakra, associated with the White Fraternity of Chang Shambala. Therefore, while the Symbol of Origin is a component of the enchaining Kalachakra Key, its "Sign" form is also presented as a powerful force that can close the Route of the Demons and seal the Gates of Shambalah.
