Jean Michaud

“This was the inviolate faithfulness of true love which no passion can ever soil, though there is no cure for love but the ambrosia of love’s embrace, which maketh love divine and everlasting . . .

Some lovers think it possible to mate mortality with divine, eternal Essence. Not so—for the mortal part of lovers mates with its mortal counterpart, whilst Essence of the Spirit can only mate with equal Essence, though opposite in quality of positive and negative power: Thus completing one another and becoming One Being, as it were; though both the counterparts retain their Self-hood.

There is a mortal passion and a spiritual passion; But though the mortal parts can company for a while on earth or in a Heaven, the parting comes anon, and ‘twere foolish to say otherwise. But two of equal worth, mortal and immortal, can meet, and mate, and this is paradise on earth and everlasting Paradise in Heaven. Such are true Mates, and nothing separates those happy beings—nor life, nor death; nor sleep, or waking dreams of life.

Though correlated in the flesh at certain periods in time: divine Spirit and the body are not composable in such a way that they be ONE, except the flesh and lower mind of man and beast, unless the spiritual counterpart of true Mates resides within the embracing materiality of each…”
