s logically towards it, and truth of which
I can at present form no conception; whose activities are unimpeded by
intellectual doubt, un-perverted by moral depravity, and who is
indifferent to results, because he has not to guide his conduct by
calculation of them, or by any estimate of their value. I look up to
him with awe, because in being passionless he sometimes seems to me to
be without love. Yet I know that this is not so; only that his love is
diffused by its range, and elevated in abstraction beyond my gaze and
comprehension. And I see in this being my ideal, my higher, my only
true, in a word, my immortal self.

Chastity

Ideal woman is the most beautiful work of the evolution of forms (in our
days she is very often only a beautiful work of art). A beautiful woman
is the most attractive, charming, and lovely being that a man can
imagine. I never saw a male being who could lay any claims to manly
vigour, strength or courage, who was not an admirer of woman. Only a
profligate, a coward or a sneak would hate women; a hero and a man
admires woman, and is admired by her.

Women's love belongs to a complete man. Then she smiles on him his
human nature becomes aroused, his animal desires like little children
begin to clamour for bread, they do not want to be starved, they want to
satisfy their hunger. His whole soul flies towards the lovely being,
which attracts him with almost irresistible force, and if his higher
principles, his divine spirit, is not powerful enough to restrain him,
his soul follows the temptations of his physical body. Once again the
animal nature has subdued the divine. Woman rejoices in her victory,
and man is ashamed of his weakness; and instead of being a
representation of strength, he becomes an object of pity.

To be truly powerful a man must retain his power and never for a moment
lose it. To lose it is to surrender his divine nature to his animal
nature; to restrain his desires and retain his power, is to assert his
divine right, and to become more than a man--a god.

Eliphas Levi says: "To be an object of attraction for all women, you
must desire none;" and every one who has had a little experience of his
own must know that he is right. Woman wants what she cannot get, and
what she can get she does not want. Perhaps it is to the man endowed
with spiritual power, that the Bible refers, when it says: "To him who
has much, more shall be given,
