Book excerpt: "The desire for death is an unnatural desire. It causes man to become wholly negative. This negative state, like the opium-habit, leads him to think that he has no desires, when, in fact, this very delusion leads to many desires, which are, nevertheless, perversions of natural, normal desires. Living under a false belief, a false conception of life and human destiny, and viewing things in the wrong light, regarding that which is natural to man as something to be avoided, the negative, hopeless man soon comes to see the abnormal and the perverse as something desirable. And, under the pessimistic eye of a nature perverted by negative doctrines, virtue becomes a thing to be shunned, and perversity becomes desirable.""When man seeks knowledge, first of all, when he makes use of his knowledge for good, when he seeks to learn his weaknesses in order to replace them with strength, when he seeks to find the cause of his servitude in order to remove it--then will he free himself and become master instead of slave, a man instead of a weakling; and, gradually, he will become one with God rather than one with negativeness and destructiveness and perversity of nature.""He who has conserved his strength, who has not al-followed false ideas to turn his natural desires into unnatural channels, who holds to a philosophy or a religion that is strong, virile, and full of love, but, withal, full of power and a sense of right--he is the man that is well-nigh invincible. Just as it is with the individual, so is it with the nation.""A system of natural living, three-fold in its application, including mind, body, and soul, will make of man a true Man, will give him the strength and the power and the goodness that enable him to resist all undesirable forces, be what they may, which would bind him to serfdom and cause him to do what he does not want to do or which would take from him something be truly loves."--------Reuben Swinburne Clymer (November 25, 1878 - June 3, 1966) was an American occultist and modern Rosicrucian responsible for either reviving or creating the FRC (Fraternitas Rosae Crucis), perhaps the oldest continuing Rosicrucian organization in the Americas. He practiced alternative medicine, and wrote and published works on it as well as (his version of) the teachings of Paschal Beverly Randolph (1825-1875), sex magic, vegetarianism, religion, alchemy, and Spiritualism. This led to a number of conflicts with Harvey Spencer Lewis (1883-1939) and the AMORC (Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis), FUDOSI, Aleister Crowley, and even the American Medical Association.
