	Raising from the sleep of death was systematically cultivated in many pre-Christian schools of [[initiation]], for example in the [[Egyptian Mysteries]].

In this way, the spiritual experiences that the initiate had in the out-of-body state could be imaged unhindered in the etheric body and the initiate could report on his experiences after his awakening.
