1There arc many spiritualistic teachers who assert that nothing exists in Nature but the human, but God forbid that we should accept as human that which is yet animal. The occultists cannot afford time to moralize upon the mysterious laws of Nature, He knows that such laws exist, and that alone concerns him. The teachers conception of that which constitutes good and evil, morality and immorality, is not the standard the occultist can accept for one moment. In the first place it must be understood that the offspring of the average of human beings, under average conditions, will be quite hu¬ man, and more or less intellectual according to the accidental con¬ ditions that surround their prenatal state. But parents of small spir¬ ituality and under the dominant influence of the animal passions, are to be considered as below the average of mankind, ft is chiefly of this class we shall speak. In the second place, it must be known that there are vast realms and races of beings existing in, on and around our planet w ho are invisible to most people. These beings are neither elementary nor elemental spirits, but aireal beings, possessing a very powerful affinity THE MYSTERIES OF SEX 41
2to man. There are seven grades of them corresponding with the seven planetary states, and, consequently, corresponding with the seven great divisions of the human race. It is this class of beings that can and do become incarnated in the human organism. The class of persons who most frequently are the means of incarnating these beings are those of large animal propensity and small spirituality. The conditions are generally sexual intercourse when the male is in a state of intoxication or both may be so. When thus inflamed with drink, lust and other vile passions and thoughts, there is no possible chance for anything human. When conception takes place under these conditions, an in¬ human soul is the result. It is from such unions as these that the inhuman Neros and Nana Sahibs of history originated. Remember, that social position or artificial education, cannot alter the natural result. People of this class are numerous, from the highest to the lowest, and “dope” addicts are under the same laws and penalty.
3The second class of individuals who may be the means of such incarnations are nervous, sensitive people, who are actually obsessed by elementaries during sexual union, because, by such obsessions, the elementaries seem to realize and enjoy the excitement of their lustful passions. In all such cases inhuman incarnation is the result. Should conception take place under these conditions, the only remedy these people have is to abstain completely, or prevent, by the moral purity of their lives, the possibility of elementary obsession. And lastly, a woman may, during the period of gestation, magnetically attach an evil being to her otherwise human child, who will obsess it completely during life, and doubtless lead it to the scaffold or asylum. This magnetic attachment is caused by some sudden, extreme exercise of her passions. Enough has now been said to enable the thoughtful student to see the great mystery of sex, completely. He now knows the use and abuse of sex; understands how to become the parent of good, noble, intel¬ lectual human souls for his family and how to avoid causing the pro¬ duction of monsters. Continuing the same laws, we now leave the physical and enter the spiritual or magnetic states of being and find sex still remains the supreme law. That same principle which manifests itself as parental instinct and ferocious passion in the animal; and as affection and lust, jealousy and hatred in the human; blooms out into its own pure state 42
