"Man is that night, that empty Nothingness, which contains everything in its undivided simplicity: the wealth of an infinite number of representations, of images, not one of which comes precisely to mind, or which [moreover] are not [there] insofar as they are really present. It is the night, the interiority - or - the intimacy of Nature which exists here: [the] pure personal-Ego. In phantasmagorical representations it is night on all sides: here suddenly surges up a blood-spattered head;
there, another, white, apparition; and they disappear just as abruptly. That is the night that one perceives if one looks a man in the eyes;
then one is delving into a night which becomes terrible; it is the night"
of the world which then presents itself to us."

What did the Sorcerer of the Left and Right mean by this?

It's pretty clear what he means anon, if you don't get it, you're just not cut out for the rest of Hegel.
