1. Sleep

```

Lord, is sleep death or rest?

“Son, sleep is death; sleep is rest.

Sleep is fulfilling rest

When angels visit you

Or

You enter into the world

Of the illumining Beyond.

Sleep is death

When the vital world

Of

Destruction-night

Threatens you and frightens you.

Sleep is death

When you fail to see

The flow of Eternity’s river

In

Your consciousness-realm.” ```
