Such is true marriage, beloved. Have the man-soul and the woman-soul been pure and constant unto one another, belonging to a common property, eschewing all other unions that theirs might be unified? When ye hath been told that such is made in Heaven, know that it hath been higher planes of life which hath made it tangible in flesh, blood, energies and aspirations.
I, you wiser Elder Brother, would have it said unto you by my lips that men and women, loving unifiedly and deeply, no matter what manner of their cohabitation, are the Truly Wedded in sight of the Host. What has the body to do with a wedding pledged of spirit, that each should make the other's strugglings and perplexities his own and stand strongly at the shoulder till all victories be accomplished?
I tell you that marriage is not joining of mortal bodies in wedlock. It is spiritual union of similar vibrations, far above the wonder that earthly men call sex. Thus are Men and Women rendered one unit by the Host, beloved. And their auras proclaim them, that weddings have joined them.
Venalities are those relationships where such colorings are absent. They are assignations of the night with foulness a couch for them. So hear me say it.
Ye do know your wives and sweethearts, men of flesh. But what have ye truly but emotional complements and completions of yourselves, held ever sacred in that they are fashioned of constancy and spiritual contentments?
And whence cometh such contentments? I say they come of mutual aspirations gratified, that ye be one and only one in your single eschewments; living, laboring for the harvest of perfect union which cometh in when souls have risen above earthly fornications, and the Light of everlasting permanence sanction your relationship, that ye have looked upon each other and been content with what was sighted. So ever be it.
I am not one to condemn a soul in that it hath looked for complement and been thwarted. I do not condemn, I only point sweetly to the mutual increments of comradeship, that each soul-half may partake of it and see in the other his Godhood glowing radiantly.
Thus I adjure ye, that ye go hence and practice it.
