5. PURITY IN THE SEX-LIFE CHARGES THE PERSONAL FIELD WITH THE
MAGNETIC POWER OF THE UNIVERSAL FORCES. In this respect the
individual should be as a god. The human body is designed for
Temple-Presence of the Infinite White Life. Epicurus regarded it
as a husk, but Aristotle defined the soul as the "perfect
expression of the body," meaning, not that the soul is a product
of physiological conditions, but that it is the TRUTH of body, the
idea, purpose, in which only do the bodily conditions gain their
real meaning. To this great Greek the chief of human virtues was
HIGH-MINDEDNESS, a crowning Self-Respect. This attitude of the
self toward the house in which it lives recognizes the perfect
interaction of self and body, the one being influenced by the
other, and so it insists that no injury shall come to the body
from the inner sex-life, or from the sex-life to the inner self,
but that both shall be maintained in harmony with the absolute
whiteness of Eternal Being.
You are invited, then, to maintain purity under the law of
liberty, and to adopt this thought as a permanent law: MY PERSONAL
DIGNITY STOOPS NOT TO PHYSICAL DEGRADATION.
