The inner life, or psychic experiences are to only be spoken to those who will understand, not the “hoi polloi,” the incredulous, the plundering wolves, and false seers. The neophyte comes as a dead one, a prisoner to the physical body, of Earth-substance, and resuscitated, is raised in and through [the states of matter of] the sidereal worlds (of the Sky-substance) — in “incorruptible substance,” regaining the divine state. The neophyte must eventually be born anew from above, by destroying or conquering the passional nature, discarding material desires, to rise to the psychic life, to its renunciation, thereby rising in the magical force of the Paraklete. Having begun and gone through psychic trials, is perfected in the spiritual, the Breath (the pneumatikos). Til a man be born of Water and Breath, they cannot enter the Upper Realm.
