--Anna Besant in Thought Power

Man may be said to live two lives in one, one when he is fully awake
and the other when he is sound asleep. These two lives, of course, is
the expression of his one existence. The highly developed, spiritual
man as he retires into the interior world during sleep, realizes a
state of spiritual bliss that is far beyond the stage of ordinary
mortals. Man has been in the habit of looking at himself as a mass of
flesh and muscle with a slight chance of realizing the Divinity within
him. As the earnest soul gradually arouses himself he finds his proper
place in the universe, for within him are all the attributes of deity,
and when he reaches the end of the long evolutionary journey that is
ahead of him he will find himself and know what he is destined to be,
a God.
