““Once an apprentice has eliminated fear, he settles back into a state of complete sobriety in which all is brought into sharp focus. Under the impact of this focus, the apprentice discerns his life clearly and determines with great accuracy the way in which he should proceed. This new-found ability to discern accurately the purpose of his life naturally engenders in the apprentice a feeling of being invincible, and unless he is sufficiently awake to realise that he has entered into the battle against sobriety, he will be struck down by sobriety at the very moment he is anticipating success.””
