The following is an abstract of those that he has kindly given me;
Education should be the same for both sexes;
Woman should be at liberty to follow the vocation which comes to her from God; and of which she alone is judge;
"In all grades and employments in the republic of God, woman should be at the side of man;
After the age of fifty, all individuals of both sexes should be rulers and priests;
The reproduction of the species being the work of the love of persons healthy in mind and in body, before marriage, the bride should be required to make confession to a priestess and the bridegroom to a priest, in order to be enlightened with respect to the opportuneness or unsuitableness of the union.
Dissolution of marriage should take place but in a single case,—when the husband and wife have attained to complete fusion; that is, to feeling and knowing reciprocally that they have no longer anything to exchange. It then becomes necessary to form new ties, and, each one to labor to fuse with a new consort. In the existing condition of humanity, this fusion cannot take place; but in the future, when we shall be nearer perfection, it will become possible several times in life.
Fusionism is, as is evident, mystical socialism.
Its votaries are gentle and good, and very tolerant towards those who do not think like them.
