Excerpt from The Word, Vol. 17: A Monthly Magazine; Devoted to Philosophy, Science, Religion, Eastern Thought, Occultism, Theosophy, and the Brotherhood of Humanity
In his present male and female body, man wants to give up love as little as a drunkard wants to abandon drink. Man can not give up love while he continues as he is.
Love and sex are so close, intimate, that man instinctively sees and thinks of love from the standpoint of his sex. It is nearly impossible to live in a normal body and think of love without the thought of male or female. Unless he knows himself a conscious being, not form, within and distinct from the body of sex in which he is, he cannot have love without the tincture of sex. He must learn and know the essence of love before he can love truly and without injury to himself and the one he loves. Knowledge - and in a sense above the ordinary knowledge - must precede love and direct it steadily if love is not to result in mental intoxication.
The thought of love relates one to the being he loves. The thought of mother, father, sister, brother, friend, wife, child or relative, is of character and sex. Love extends beyond the physical to angels, to God - and the thought of man is that they are either masculine or feminine - a fact which is noticed plainly, especially in ecstatic worship.
