Experiential narrative
Sleeping man is an automaton walking tracks laid down by his own inner talking. By the curvature of time the next life is this life, replayed in every detail without memory, as in Neville's vision of the workman at the coal hole who did the same thing each time the scene returned. Only by laying new tracks, through revision and new inner conversations, does man break the circle of recurrence; in later lectures the awakened are lifted off the wheel of recurrence.

the next life is this life
man must awake from the dream where he is simply an automaton
what appears to be so new in our world is only the appearance of the return of phenomena already old
