' Sexuality '...

If sexuality is an attribute of animal and human life, sexual love is an ordinary fact of human nature.

Why should it be regarded as suspect, why should it be treated as anti-spiritual?

If the answer is that the passions of sex drag man down into the mud, philosophy shows how they can be sublimated so as to lift him up to heaven.

They can be brought to dismiss their ancient enmity towards spiritual aspiration, to unite and work together for man's redemption, his enlightenment, and his salvation.
