1When we regard the mystical ramifications of sex as represented in the universal creation of suns, stars, moons and planets, we see the same principles at work throughout every department of their being, even to their shape and the form of their orbit. The suns are mascu¬ line, and represent the cosmic male spirit. The planets are feminine, and consequently become the fruitful wombs of progressive life. The moons are neither the one nor the other; they are the conflicting off¬ spring of disturbing forces within the sun and its planet. They are the lowest organic expression of planetary life, and as such represent the state of the hermaphrodite. So, both in man and in the universe, the potentialities of sex swing the mighty pendulum of thought and motion. 38 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT
2The grand object which the divine Ego seeks to realize in the evolution of the human soul, is the complete differentiation of its latent attributes. The soul must become the expression of both its qualities, and must express the true nature of the biune spirit; hence male and female evolution is the outcome. Each soul rounds out and completes, so to say, its own section of the Ego, and in doing this it becomes individualized as a complete expression of one ray of the divine idea, hence it has a perfect identity with its source. Both male and female complete the whole, and are related to each other as Osiris and Isis; brother and sister; their individuality, in the form of their spiritual identity, is forever preserved, and their united as well as their separate consciousness becomes an attribute of their glorious immortality. Without sex there cannot be eternal life, and to absorb or destroy these principles in the human organism brings about a divorce between man and his divinity, and thus robs conscious hu¬ manity of its deathless immortality. IV. The Mystery of Isis
3The human organism, in its more interior sense, is the mystical uterus of Isis, (that is, the human organism is the uterus of Nature), ever pregnant with the Holy Ghost, (the incarnated soul), which, when the period of gestation is completed, (the cycle of evolution), shall give birth to the Son of God, whose kingdom is not of this earth, but of Heaven (this means, the soul which has attained its immortality, is a Son of God, etc., whose future state of being is the boundless realm of Spirit.) I and the Father are one, meaning that the human Ego is but an atom of the Father, is not the same idea as the more interior state of Adeptship or being at one with God. This at-one-ment is the mys¬ tical Atonement of the Christ (Spirit) within the human soul, (you are at peace with your spiritual conscience.) These ideas if meditated upon, will reveal unto you the whole mystery of Christ and the im¬ maculate conception. The idea of the human organism being the mystical womb of Nature, was the cause of the Ancient Priests of the sanctuary elaborating the magnificent funerals, the fremation of the Hindoo, the Greek and Roman rites, and embalming of the Egyptians. It was the most important ceremony of Ancient times, because the most mystically important and the most sublime rite that the soul can pass, from matter to spirit, or “back to the Father’s home.” THE MYSTERIES OF SEX 39
