Unity and it is Unity which is the true expression of freedom.
        And so those who in the name of their right to freedom claim
        independence, turn their backs completely on this true free-
        dom, for they deny love.
            The deformation comes from constraint.
            One cannot love through compulsion,  you cannot be
        compelled to love, it is no longer love. Therefore, as soon
        as compulsion intervenes, it becomes a falsehood. All the
        movements of the inner being must be spontaneous move-
        ments, with that spontaneity which comes from an inner
        harmony, an understanding — from a voluntary self-giving
        — from a return to the deeper truth, the reality of being, the
        Origin and the Goal.

        and logically, if one is quite natural, not perverted, natu-
        ral as animals are—for from this point of view they are far
        superior to men; perversion begins with humanity—then
        one keeps out of the way, as one would stand aside from
        something fundamentally harmful. But happily these cases
        are not very frequent; what one meets in life are usually
        very mixed natures where there is a kind of balance, so to
        say, between the good and the bad, and one may expect
        to have both good and bad relations. There is no reason
        to feel any deep dislike, for, as one is quite mixed oneself
        (laughing), like meets like!
            It is also said that some people are like vampires, and
        when they come near a person they spontaneously suck
        up his vitality and energy, and that one should beware of
