In fact, an Egyptian priest was something quite different from another person. He was a person who led a spiritualized, an internalized life because he had gone through the process of descending to the dead. He had left his body and had been in the realms of infinity, and after three days he had taken possession of his body again, awakened by the rising sun and by the father of heaven and earth, the god Ra. This process, which signifies initiation at the lowest level, was undoubtedly what the Essaeans also experienced in a higher degree. They knew the initiation process and undoubtedly took it over from Egypt with their views and customs.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"17.

Er war ein Mensch, welcher in seinem Leben ein vergeistigtes, ein verinnerlichtes Leben führte, weil er durchgemacht hatte den Prozess des Hinabgestiegenseins zu den Toten. Er hatte seinen Körper verlassen und war in den Gefilden der Unendlichkeit gewesen, und er hatte nach drei Tagen wieder Besitz ergriffen von seinem Körper, erweckt durch die aufgehende Sonne und durch den Vater des Himmels und der Erde, den Gott Ra.
