1We cannot attempt any explanation of how the first Deific forms of sexual fife become ultimated, nor of the why and wherefore of this celestial existence. It is enough for us that we are enabled by the laws of correspondence to trace the origin of sex to the shores of the great fountain of all existence, and to proclaim it to the world as the first principle of that great central Ego (God) from which all manifested egos derive their being. In order that we may comprehend somewhat of the mysteries of sex as we see them manifested in humanity, we must descend from these practically inconceivable heights of celestial glory and seek for the links of this continuous chain within the high¬ est states of life approachable by the embodied human soul, viz., the angelic sphere of the soul world. Only in these states can we obtain any definite idea of the interior significance of sex, and its mighty importance as a factor in the immortality of the human soul. The first link of this celestial chain, as we have seen, lies concealed within the bosom of the Infinite One. What the succeeding ones may contain we cannot tell, but that they will bear a perfect correspondence to the angelic state we are certain, making due allowance for the difference of their respective states. Therefore, since we know the origin of sex, we will consider its correlatives which we have designated, as inspir¬ ation and respiration. II. Sex, Its Nature and Functions
2In the previous chapter we have described in a very brief manner the actual differentiation of the human Ego, as a deific atom of life. Ip, Original from i: " V UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 30 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT
3We need not, therefore, repeat any of the description there given, but we will add that it must be a self evident fact that each Ego contains within itself all the primary elements of sex, in a latent condition. These attributes have not as yet been subjected to the requisite conditions for their evolution. In this state, then, there is neither love nor wisdom manifested within the Ego. It cannot know happiness when it is ignorant of sorrow. It cannot form any conception of rest before weariness has approached. There can be no real love for the Ego when it has never experienced the various contrary conditions by which love is distinguished. The wisdom of the Ego in this state is equally latent, since it possesses no means of arriving at a true knowledge of its var¬ ious surroundings. In this state, we behold the spiritual atom in its primal condition wherein the power of God hath just created it. It is the first spiritual Adam. The various series of states through which this divine Ego must penetrate in order to evolve its soul sphere, are the necessary means by which the internal potentialities of sex must be awakened. When this transpires, the divine Ego becomes pregnant with the dual forms of its own organic life, and the twin souls are bom, the male and female elements of its being, which are represented in Genesis as Adam and Eve, knowing neither good nor evil. A beauti¬ ful description this of the embryonic human souls. These twin souls are the absolute expression of the masculine and feminine rays of which every absolute atomic Ego is composed. The masculine ray contains a portion of the feminine elements or there could be no re¬ action of its forces. The feminine ray must likewise contain a portion of the masculine qualities for the same reason. These twin souls con¬ tain a portion of each other. They constitute the sun and moon, so to say, of the Ego’s creation, and when once they become differentiated they are as eternal and immortal as the EGO which called them into existence. They can be neither absorbed nor annihilated by time nor eternity. They constitute the divine idea of their deific parent, and as such they become the divine expression of Love and Wisdom upon this earth.
