ire outside of
this union, when once found.
"But never shall he faint or fall
Who lists to hear, o'er every fate,
The sweeter and the higher call
Of his true mate.
I hear it wheresoe'er I rove;
She holds me safe from shame or sin;
The holy temple of her love
I worship in."
A time when "the twain shall be" virtually, "one flesh" and the
"outside as the inside" is not a chimerical dream.
When the physical body is as much reverenced as is the spiritual; when
in fact, the soul is revealed (unveiled) to our mortal consciousness;
when the mind has been freed from its load of prejudices and fears and
doubts and belief in sin; then we shall, indeed, truly see each other.
We do not see each other now, unless perhaps we have developed that
spiritual insight which is not blinded by appearances, but which
contacts the interior nature. But the revealing, the uncovering
process has begun. We have come to the time so long anticipated; so
earnestly promised, when "naked and unashamed" we should "re-enter the
lost Paradise."
Well, the women, God bless them, are as naked as the tender morality
of our police officials will permit and as unashamed as it is possible
to be with the handicap of a puritanical ancestry, which was so
evil-minded as to suspect God himself of sin when He formed the
"wicked" body.
Prudists may howl; and legislators may legislate; but the course of
the Cosmic Law which would free us and bestow upon us Peace and Love
and Happiness without stint, has never been stopped, although it has
been obstructed.
Let us examine some points of the Hidden Wisdom, in the light of this
postulate, and see if the conclusion is not warranted.
CHAPTER VIII
THE HIDDEN WISDOM REVEALED
As we have previously observed, there is what may be termed a
religious mysticism and a scientific mysticism. When viewed from the
standpoint of the unprejudiced seeker, who finds the truth that is in
everything, these two phases of mysticism are but photographs of the
same subject taken from different points of view. So, too, mysticism
itself is, in the final analysis, nothing more than a long-distance
view of science.
Like the proverbial pot and kettle, which we are told made much noise
over calling each other black, we find the scientist frequently
disdains the mystic, and the mystic may retaliate with equal
disapproval of the sc
