The Strong soul must put off its connection with this society and go naked with its fellows, weaponless, armourless, without shield or spear, but only with naked hands and open eyes. Not self sacrifice, but fulfillment, the flesh and the spirit in league together, not in arms against one another. And each man shall know that he is part of the greater body, each man shall submit that his own soul is not supreme even to himself…but that all souls of all things do but compose the body of God. (CL 312)
