ENTOMBMENT

A symbol of detention of the Spirit in the lower nature.

"The Dark Night (of the Soul) brings the Self to the threshold of that completed life which is to be lived in intimate union with Reality. It is the Entombment which precedes the Resurrection, say the Christian mystics; ever ready to describe their life-process in the language of their faith." - E. UNDERHILL, Mysticism, p. 480.
