Gustave Meyrink Quotations

Read the sacred writings of all the peoples on Earth. Through all of them runs, like a red thread, the hidden Science of attaining and maintaining wakefulness.

The secret is to be awake.To be awake is everything.

This goal can and must be attained in this life. But even if this does not happen, remember that he who has found the way once, always returns to this world with an internal maturity that enables him to continue his work.

Man is firmly convinced that he is awake; in reality he is caught in a net of sleep and dreams which he has unconsciously woven himself.

The first enemy you will meet with on this road to wakefulness will be your own body. It will fight you until the first cock-crow.
