Seeing the Infinite, and being the Infinite, how can you ever distinguish any such thing as family, a single person you love, or any kind of feeling towards others? You, who knows of nothing other than the Love of the Infinite. If you are honest you will be hated, for there is nothing people hate more than Infinite Love: it is just the opposite of what they call love.
The truly scientific mind is the mind that seeks Ultimate Truth at all costs and without compromise. The desire for Truth and the love of reason is indeed an emotional passion, but no ordinary passion, for it ends in the destruction of passion. If you use reason only sparingly and without complete love, as some of us do, your reason will be no more than ordinary greed, used opportunistically and inconsistently. In such a dilapidated state of mind you will have no right to proclaim reason above the feminine emotions. Reason is harmful when used to justify our emotions and feelings. If you do not follow reason to completion your inconsistency will leave you open to a thousand criticisms. You will be told that you are suppressing feelings—and you will be. You will lack the power to utterly destroy feelings. You will be a hypocrite, living a double life with double standards.
Man is substance and therefore has something to lose. Throuought his life, he fears re–engulfment by his mother, he fears to be left in mother's womb—never to become oneself. His falling, however, does not necessarily mean that he is on the wrong track. Let it be remembered that no matter how good one's intentions, until one has achieved absolute perfection, one's activity will not be without fault. As long as there is striving, there is lacking. Man strives, therefore he lacks. He appears cloddish, foolish, unnatural as he moves in unfamiliar ways traversing new ground.
Only when your consuming passion for truth is so strong that passion itself is consumed, only then will you be without fear of woman or man. Only then can you rightly and deservedly speak of reason as being the superior passion. Only then will your desires be entirely without desire and your love without love. Until that time you are too much of a slave. Too much of a slave of your own passions.
