And the moment that occurs immediately in the middle between death and new birth — I have taken the liberty of calling it “the spiritual midnight hour of existence” in the mystery drama “The Awakening of the Soul” “the spiritual midnight hour of existence” because there, in fact, in the midst of the bliss of spiritual life before the next birth, the soul experiences a moment when it is completely alone with itself, experiencing only itself, but can become quite anxious in the awareness: there is a world around you, but it is outside your consciousness, you know nothing about it; a world, indeed worlds, arise from within you. You are alone with these worlds.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.
