SATURDAY-EVENING

When I go to sleep, just before going to sleep I will say to myself the following words, and I will let them enter into my spirit, for words are like dead leaves when there is no life in them of the spirit. I say, then, these words: “I enter the eternal and infinite garden of mystery, my spirit in oneness with the Heavenly Father, my body in oneness with the Earthly Mother, my heart in harmony with my Brothers, the Sons of Men, dedicating my spirit, my body, and my heart to the holy, pure and saving Teaching, even that Teaching which of old was known to Enoch.”

Communion with The Angel of Eternal Life

And after these words have entered into my spirit, on the first evening after Sabbath-Eve (which is on Friday-night, the Sabbath lasting till dusk on Saturday), I say these words: 'Angel of Eternal Life, descend upon me and give eternal life to my spirit.' And I will close my eyes, Sons of Light, and in sleep contemplate the oneness of all life everywhere. For in the daylight hours are my feet on the ground and I have no wings with which to fly. But my spirit is not tied to the earth., and with the coming of night I overcome my attachment to the earth and join with that which is eternal. For the Son of Man is not all that he seems, and only with the eyes of the spirit can I see those golden threads which link me with all life everywhere.
