“Each one of you, given the right key, can solve all mysteries of sleep and therefore of death, because sleep and death are twin brothers.
The nature of a man’s dreams is determined almost wholly by his waking life, and what happens in sleep takes place in death.
The sole distinction between death and sleep is one of degree. When we go to sleep at night, we slip into a state of complete unconsciousness only because we have not yet learned during the daytime to become self-conscious in the higher parts of us.
Initiation comprises of both sleep and death, and uses these functions of consciousness in order to free the inner man for the marvelous experience on inner planes that initiation brings about.”
