If man were doing business with God, there would be
nothing wrong with this arrangement, because man would
benefit, in the flesh, from His spirit.
       But Satan’s spirit (operating through female guile), hav-
ing no life or power of its own, can reverse the divine order
of things. Through the pride of the woman, Satan compels
man to give up his life and makes himself the godlike
ground of man’s being by deceiving him about the purpose
of his existence. There are certain types of men who love
to be sustained by deception, as well as women who love
to deceive—then, again, there are those who do not.
       Worship the ego, inspire the ego to become god, and
that triggers failing. Stroke that failing when it appears, re-
lieve the tension, and spiritual as well as physical life is
drained away. Now begin again before man has time to see
what is really going on.
       The sick female spirit can never really be fulfilled
through such false devotion. She is frustrated, because the
quality of this love is his very life. It is not love at all. Too
much sex feeds her demon spirit, but too little threatens it.
One moment she just loves his failing, and the next she hates
his guts for it; yet from hating sex love rises a need for sex
love to soothe her guilt.
       Every woman’s real happiness depends upon a man un-
derstanding her need for real love rather than sexual love.
As long as a woman is guileful, she will suffer the agonies
of (sexually) drawing spinelessly weak or violently weak men
to her. Like it or not, every woman inherits some of the guile
that appeals to, and excites, the ancient weakness of man;
and that is what every man must eventually come to grips
