"The central experience of human life on Earth is man and woman locked in passionate sexual embrace. And since that which is below is like that which is above, we know that this also reflects the basic nature of the universe itself, and of divinity. Love exists in an infinite series of forms on an ascending scale from the depths to the heights; but even the pure white light of God's love is the transmuted essence of erotic passion, which rises from the primordial fires of lust, surges up the shaft of the cosmic axis, fills the Sacred Heart with divine compassion, ejaculates the Holy Name in Heaven, and thence descends again as the blessing of redemption for us all."
~ Astarius
Sex is the source of life and the greatest pleasure known to living beings; yet sex is death.
Love is the final redeeming feature of existence, the only proof that mind transcends the body, and hence the best evidence for the immortality of the soul. Yet love is war.
The man and woman conjoined in sexual love experience themselves as one, and thus an attack of either one upon the other is a self-destructive attack upon the Self. Yet if they should ever seamlessly and permanently amalgamate into One, their love would end, for love requires Two. Therefore the lovers must endlessly be at odds, in order to sustain their love. The Hundred Years War was a mere blip on the collective cardiogram of European history, compared to the eternal war that must be waged by two hearts lost in the terrible ecstasy of everlasting love.
