1. If God per se is the Holy Spirit of Heaven and
the Devil per se the Clear Heat of Time, then man per se is the
Unclear Coldness of Purgatory and woman per se the Unholy Will of
2. Woman does not usually go beyond the World
but finds her 'salvation' in the Holy Will of the World, which is maternal
devotion to the Unclear Darkness of the World, viz. her offspring. To achieve such a mundane salvation, however,
she must seduce a man-become-Devil to the World or, rather, her flesh, so that
he ceases to feel the Clear Heat of Time (love) and achieves release as the
Clear Darkness of Mass, which is Devil-become-sin, and thereby enters into
carnal relations with the Unholy Will of Mass.
Only thus can a woman fulfil herself, achieving through pregnancy the
Unclear Darkness of the World and through motherhood her release from this
burden in the Holy Will of the World.
First weakness is tempted by pleasure; for man-become-Devil is
emotionally weak and woman-as-temptress sensuously strong. Then weakness succumbs to ugliness and enters
into sin. Assuming pregnancy is the
ensuing result of this dual between ugliness and pleasure, pain becomes the
woman's fate, and only after she has been delivered from this worldly hell with
childbirth ... does she enter into that beauty immortalized by thousands of
artists in the form of the Blessed Virgin's maternal devotion to her
Child. It is this beauty of the Holy
Will of the World which is the salvation of woman, and that is as far as she
goes. Truth and Heaven are, for the most
part, beyond her powers and desires; for she is fundamentally a creature of the
Unholy Will of Mass, which is the flesh and its craving for pleasure, and thus
one who sucks-up to the Devil, to man-become-Devil, in order to have her way
and thereby capitalize on his emotional fire.
3. Were man-become-Devil to remain merely
consumed in his emotional fire instead of succumbing to the pleasure of fleshy
temptation, he would be a jerk and a victim, in all probability, of unrequited
love. In fact, man-become-Devil is a
jerk until he succumbs to the flesh and thereupon enacts the ugliness of
copulation, abandoning the solar region for the more earthly one of
Devil-become-sin. For a pleasurable
relationship with the flesh, with feminine nature, is precisely what is sinful,
since it constitutes a fall from love to lust, and usually has the effect of
perpetuating the World, which, in pregnancy, is the feminine hell of a pain so
intense ... that it puts paid to all pleasure for its duration, as nature is
eclipsed by the World, or flesh by the womb, preparatory to the volcano-like
deliverance which precipitates pain into the arms of beauty and the relative
salvation which this generally entails.
Yet if woman transcends the pain of the World, she does not transcend
its beauty, and often enough the whole process of seduction and suffering is
repeated, as woman slides back from beauty towards pleasure and seduces
man-become-Devil afresh, leading him into mortal sin.
