of desire congenial
or acquired, monkish asceticism are pathological states, diseased states
of mind or body." Further on, we read, on page 10:

"Do not be a suffering Jesus. Do not take him as an example. Do not
whine or snuffle, but get ahead in the world while you can. Get
lands, property and independence somehow....

"The teachings of Christianity were designed for the castration of
the human soul. Christ would make you, not a free man, a hero, and
a warrior, but a hireling, a submissive beast of burden, a helot, a
