"The path to immortality is hard, and only a few find it. The rest await the Great Day when the wheels of the universe shall be stopped and the immortal sparks shall escape from the sheaths of substance. 
Woe to those who wait, for they must return again, unconscious and unknowing, to the seed-ground of stars, and await a new beginning. 
Those who are saved by the light of the mystery which I have revealed to you, O Hermes, and which I now bid you to establish among men, shall return again to the Father who dwells in the White Light, and shall deliver themselves up to the Light and shall be absorbed into the Light, and in the Light they shall become Powers in God. This is the Way of Good and is revealed only to them that have wisdom.

Know that the soul must be cleansed of its darkness, so you may enter the portals of Light. 

Let he who would be free from the bonds of darkness first divide the material from the immaterial, the fire from the earth; for know you that as earth descends to earth, so also fire ascends unto fire and becomes one with fire. He who knows the fire that is within himself shall ascend unto the eternal fire and dwell in it eternally.
