“In the old fable you remember the man and woman were told not to eat
unworthily. Some accounts are imperfectly related, so as to include
a prohibition, but this is distortion made by priests in the Sixth
Century, of the real truth. To eat unworthily is to die, and you must
remember that this story is true; but under right conditions the right
man searching for truth, walking hand in hand with the right woman (and
there is one right woman for every man, and one man for every woman)
can attain perfection--that is, completeness.
“I told you something of atmosphere, and you must write this down as
one of the greatest living truths, that the male and female elements
are required to form a perfect spiritual atmosphere.
“This accounts for the slow progress the world has made. Men have lived
alone in thought and excluded women from their councils, thus depriving
themselves of the spiritual female element wherein is contained the
germ of all truth. The true sex is spiritual, not physical. Sex only
symbolizes the great truths which lie behind. When you imagine men
rushing to the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, and stuffing themselves
with the bread which represents the body of our Savior, and reeling
with drunken and maudlin hilarity from the effects of the wine which
represents His blood, you see an exact picture of what has been done
for thousands of years in this holy matter of sex. Friend, do you
wonder that Adam and Eve were turned out of the garden, and that they
were ashamed when in the presence of each other?
