Liber VII, Cap. VI, v. 20-25
20. Thou and I are beloved of the Emperor.
21. See! he has summoned us to the Imperial dais.
The night falls; it is a great orgy of worship and bliss.
22. The night falls like a spangled cloak from the shoulders of a prince upon a slave.
23. He rises a free man!
24. Cast thou, O prophet, the cloak upon these slaves!
25. A great night, and scarce fires therein; but freedom for the slave that its glory shall encompass. -

Words are interesting in that they lack comprehensive instruction to get certain ideas across. That is where being invested in a system with common ideas comes into play. Physics has its language, mathematics has its language, etc. In the western mysteries there are stages of human development and in verse 20 it appears that adepthood, in Tiphareth, is referenced to as well as the Emperor who I believe to be the influence of the Supernals and specifically Kether. In the next verse it appears that the abyss has been crossed and the light of the sun is replaced by the darkness of the supernals which is a different form of light - more sublime. It is freedom from the personality, freedom from the finite, and a joining of consciousness in a more anchored form with the eternal.
