e surest
way to keep him so is to treat him like an animal. If we remind him
that he is also a man and that he may be a god; and if we point out to
him the way in which he may accomplish this transmutation, no man has
so little intelligence that he will not attempt to follow, when
assured that God-hood means a bliss so great that he can hardly
imagine it; that it means cessation of the "endless round of births
and deaths" from which Gautama, the Buddha, sought to free himself.
Mankind has always been promised immortality through spiritual
union--with what? An abstract principle called God, or Aum or any
other impersonal formless all-inclusive Being?

No, but with his mate.

On this point we trust that there will not remain any obscurity. There
is no higher God than Love. There is no higher love than sexual-love
in its highest manifestation. The more we truly love, the more love
flows into and through our consciousness, until from a tiny little
pearly drop of the "wine of life" we ascend to the Olympian Heights
and imbibe floods of the "nectar of the Gods."

Even the libertine, that pauper in the realm of Love, wants the
perfect life. His soul is forever hungry for that which he gropingly
tries to catch and chain and possess; and which by virtue of these
same desires will evade him until he ceases thus to seek, and instead
of demanding possession of the object of his desires, he asks for
union. Union is interior; possession is always and ever limited to
exterior contact. They who would enter the sanctuary and defile the
"Holy of Holies" are saved from such a load of self-inflicted sin;
they cannot if they would. There is but one key which will open the
golden gate to heaven. The way chosen by the libertine is in exactly
the opposite direction.

Are all marriages that are not soul-mate unions immoral? Most
certainly not. Are all unions that are not married immoral. Most
certainly not.

We have made an attempt to define sexual immorality and we have
concluded that as yet there is no absolute standard in civilized or
uncivilized ethics, since, as Letourneau points out, what is immoral
in Pekin or Calcutta may be moral in Paris or London. Truth is
adherence to facts in whatever section of the world. Tolerance;
sympathy; charity; may be clearly defined wherever we roam. Sexual
immorality has no stable standards. We here suggest one and submit
that it is the only one possible of universal concurrence. It is based
upon
