If man deliberately and wilfully, in full consciousness of the difficulties in the way sets out to gain liberation and then falls back into sensuality, he must necessarily block his way for ages; for by so doing he has veiled his intuition anew and will no longer be able to distinguish the false from the true. He has paved the way for the deceptive elementals of the Eighth Sphere who will bind him to the character of experiences he passes through until such time as satiety has partially opened his eyes, when he then realizes the bondage in which he has placed himself.

Satiety always follows indulgence and this alone should teach man the materiality of all sense indulgence; for true spiritual experience never satiates. Ecstasy of sense and ecstasy of soul are poles of the great Mystery—Love. The ecstasy of sense is the fulfillment of passion; the ecstasy of the soul is the fruit of Compassion. One must disappear in the face of the other, for the two can never meet. The one is separation from Spirit, the other is completeness of Spirit.

Those who dare to degrade the ideal of Divine Love by prostituting it to love sense gratification come close to committing the unpardonable sin, and those who teach the ignorant that true enlightenment may come by such methods are creating a heavy karma.

It is passing strange that any student of life who has had the advantages that study of the Secret Doctrine and other like philosophies may give, those teachings that contain all available data concerning the primal causes for the failure and destruction of other civilizations, can fail to perceive that it is only by a return to a state of purity that man can regain his lost estate.

Such a student must know that sex-abuse, or some aspect of licentiousness, built the bridge whereby the angels of light entered the abode of demons—the gross physical plane, and that they must recross that bridge by turning the creative forces in an opposite direction, if they would further the development of the human race and thus regain their spiritual supremacy; and the humanity of the present age and that host of angels are one and the same.
