“The candidate was laid in the great stone coffin, and for three days his spirit – freed from its mortal coil – wandered at the gateways of eternity. His Ka, as a bird, flew through the spiritual spheres of space. He discovered that all the universe was life, all the universe was progress, all the universe was eternal growth. Realizing that his body was a house which he could slip out of and return to without death, he achieved actual immortality. At the end of three days, he returned to himself again, and having thus personally and actually experienced the great mystery (of consciousness continuing after the moment of death), he was indeed an Initiate – one who beheld and one to whom religion had fulfilled her duty bringing him to the light of God.”
