| | W. B. Yeats and "A Vision": After Life |
 | | Incarnate life, which we might naturally think of as the brighter part of the cycle, is, however, when the Spirit is less apparent, so is symbolised by the winter months of the year, the antithetical half of the bright Moon and the Lunar, nocturnal half of the day. |
 | | After the Beatitude the spirits are not tied to any individual or group, except insofar as they seek like minds with shared aims, and thus they also serve to bring living individuals into indirect contact with others as well, creating a nexus between the unconscious minds of living humanity. |
 | | After death, or in a trance or in ordinary sleep, he enters into that state, as man is always antithetical in relation to his Daimon whatever his own phase may be, or whatever that of his Daimon, and to die or to sleep is to pass from the Lunar to the Solar cones. |
