this slavery to her spirit.
       Instant recognition of man’s ego is the theme of the
original lie, which has always stimulated the evolution of
male flesh to rise at each falling away of the soul. Sex hap-
pens to be the original symptom of man’s failing. It repre-
sents death coming alive, a new body replacing the dying
one through the sin of pride. For man, death comes through
sin, and that sin is pride.
       The pride of man lives now amid the evolutions of sen-
suous life that arise through failing. The life of the flesh thus
appears through the mechanism of Original Sin and again
when we are sustained in our pride. The guilt of the soul is
assuaged by identifying with the flesh. Prideful man is
proud in his body when he is in love, prouder still when grat-
ifying his evolving lusts. By viewing a man’s sexual weakness
as a virtue, a woman can, in effect, reinforce the pride of
Original Sin with her body, keeping him caught up in her
spell in the ecstasy of his failing. She drinks in his life sub-
stance like Dracula. While he revels in the illusive ecstasy
of the lie, she assimilates his life substance.
       The slightest hint of female acceptance produces the
failing that is felt as lust. Relieving this lust is where a
woman’s false sense of worth, of loving duty, of security is
fiendishly gratified. A woman worships to the end that she
might be worshiped. In the egotistical sense, pleasing a man
is her selfish way of pleasing herself.With no life of her own,
she feels what she stimulates a man to feel.
To serve an ego is to weaken it to need service, so that
in the end the one doing the serving is served, becoming an
almost godlike source of both need and satisfaction of need.
