Gurdjieff:
"A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake..
'To awake,' 'to die,' 'to be born.' These are three successive stages. If you study the Gospels attentively you will see that references are often made to the possibility of being born, several references are made to the necessity of 'dying,' and there are very many references to the necessity of 'awakening' 'watch, for ye know not the day and hour,' and so on..
The continual consciousness of his nothingness and of his helplessness will eventually give a man the courage to 'die,' that is, to die, not merely mentally or in his consciousness, but to die in fact and to renounce actually and forever those aspects of himself which are either unnecessary from the point of view of his inner growth or which hinder it..
But in order to see a thing always, one must first of all see it even if only for a second. All new powers and capacities of realisation come always in one and the same way. At first they appear in the form of flashes at rare and short moments; afterwards they appear more often and last longer until, finally, after very long work they become permanent. The same thing applies to awakening. It is impossible to awaken completely all at once. One must first begin to awaken for short moments. But one must die all at once and forever after having made a certain effort, having surmounted a certain obstacle, having taken a certain decision from which there is no going back. This would be difficult, even impossible, for a man, were it not for the slow and gradual awakening which precedes it.”
Quoted by Ouspensky in 'Fragments...' ('In Search of the Miraculous') Chapter 11

Magical Initiation
Karl Spiesberger
The author is known far beyond Germany's borders as one of the most experienced researchers and practitioners in all areas of esotericism. Anyone who conscientiously studies this volume and the subsequent work “Magical Practice” will gain an almost comprehensive knowledge of what there is to know in the field of esotericism, mysticism and magic in order to be able to work successfully. A brief selection of the topics covered will make this clear: breathwork, body and mind control, transmutation of the power of procreation, chakras, mantramistics, psychodynamics and magical training, suggestion and hypnosis, dream exercises and expansion of consciousness.
