| *7.) Because people do not purify their consciousness before sleeping, a.) they are mostly holding negative, destructive & selfish: thoughts and lower desires, before sleep, b.) so instead of ascending to 5th Kingdom, they descend to lower spheres corresponding to their thoughts. |
| Inner Life & Sleep 5.) “For almost half their lives people entrust themselves to an invisible world. It is necessary to purify one's consciousness before entrance into the sacred Gates. Thought about the Higher World, thought about the Guardians, already lights up the drooping consciousness; hence, there may be more desirable meetings, and attacks may be warded off. Only the heart's thought about the Higher World provides an impenetrable armor.” (Aum, 71.) 6.) “Science gives little attention to the significance of sleep—this existence in the Subtle World. Is not a strong unity with the Hierarchy needed when we are at the threshold of something unknown to our habitual consciousness? Consider that almost half of life passes beyond earthly existence!” (Heart, 92.) |
