Men who read it [beauty pornography] don't do so because they want women who look like that. The attraction of what they are holding is that it is not a woman, but a two-dimensional woman-shaped blank. The appeal of the material is not the fantasy that the model will come to life; it is precisely that she will not, ever. Her coming to life would ruin the vision. It is not about life. Ideal beauty is ideal because it does not exist; The action lies in the gap between desire and gratification. Women are not perfect beauties without distance. That space, in a consumer culture, is a lucrative one. The beauty myth moves for men as a mirage, its power lies in its ever-receding nature. When the gap is closed, the lover embraces only his own disillusion. ↗
When she thinks of the toxins built up inside of her from so many years of eating carelessly, of the resentment that has grown steadily over fifteen years of marriage, of the stretch marks and the varicose veins that came from two pregnancies, only one of them fulfilled, she thinks the inside of her body must tell a story like a tree. Were she to break open a bone, perhaps it would look like the inside of a coffee mug - riddled with lines, stained with brown blotches. ↗
Human body is the only way for manifestation of God There is but one law or fundamental rule and that is the manifestation of God in the human body. It does not know any distinction of caste and creed, any time or place; all that is indispensably required is the human body and God’s mercy, The ‘only way’ of God’s manifestation in the highest form is through the body of a man and this is the ‘only law’ of highest expression in the world. There is but only one way and there is but one fundamental rule – the highest manifestation of God is in the human body. The principal requirement for God’s manifestation is the human body. Let him be a Hindu or Buddist or Christian or Muslim or let him belong to any other religion of the world or let him live in any part of the world, if God (Atma) takes pity on him then He will manifest Himself in the body of the man and the man on his part will see God in his own body. This law is fundamental. God is in the body. He is in an invisible and unattached condition. He emanates from the body, manifests himself in full-fledged form in the cerebrum, when God-the-Preceptor points out and shows God and himself melts away in God. The seer understands it distinctly that God is in the body and He has sprang up from the body. ↗
Eros (or call it lust if you will), is like a beautiful, magnificent Afghan Hound! A pure white Afghan Hound commanding respect and honor! But if you take the Afghan Hound and lock it in a small cage, shun it and look upon it badly, treat it as a pestilence and wish that it would die; that same creature of beauty will become a vile, unrepentant, dark creature of the shadows! Untrusting, hidden in the corner, aggressive... something that will harm others and yourself! But is this the nature of the creature, is this the fault of the creature? Or are YOU the one who has created the monster that it has become? And this is my philosophy: that we are both corporeal and incorporeal beings, therefore, the same amount of good intent MUST be given to both our soul and our body! ↗

It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me. ↗
