1THE LIGHT OF EGYPT in the Angelic or celestial condition, as Love and Wisdom, in this most interior state. Its attributes in all exterior states of angelic or spiritual existence are intuition and reason, the feminine and mascu¬ line qualities of each human soul. Magnetism is of two kinds, viz.; animal and mineral, and each kind is dual, or male and female, positive and negative. It is the Astral fluid containing the properties of the body with which it is connected; hence, sex always predominates the very soul-force of Nature, because it is through the agency of this Astral fluid that all the various phenomena are produced, it is the actual cause of every effect in both the material and spiritual planes of existence. This force is the indispensable agent of every Adept, Magician or Mesmerizer, and the cause of all magnetic and occult phenomena. It pervades every atom of the vast universe and all of life including planets and stars are subject to this double law of sex, action and repose. Just as night rests humanity from the day’s activity, does this force restore the equilibrium of the spiritual and cosmic planes of Nature.
2The magnetic and Astral fluid is androgyne or bi-sexual, (exactly like the human soul) because equilibrium is but the resultant of two forces eternally re-acting upon each other, this is life. When these two forces expand and remain so long inactive as to equal each other and come to complete rest, the condition is death. The same soulforce, in the hands of the expert magician, has control over life and death, for, if the magician wills a thing and his will is sufficiently strong, that thing is done, this is the positive action. Mediumship is the re¬ verse, the negative or passive, it is the feminine which receives. Now we come to the last mystery of the Grade of Eros. It is the climax of the potential powers of sex, and embraces all the previous teachings in the recognition of the human organism, as the grand mystical uterus of Nature. It is the sacred Yoni of the glorious Isis, the Universal Mother. It is this mystery that explains the immaculate con¬ ception of the Christ child, or Divine human within us. It is the im¬ mortal soul begotten of the Father, enclosed or incarnated in the flesh, (the human organism.) The Virgin Womb, which shall give birth to the immortal Son of God, when the period of gestation (human incarnation in or on this material plane) is completed. This period of gestation is, of course, the great cycle of necessity; for, “except ye be born again ye cannot zed by GoOgk THE MYSTERIES OF SEX 43
3enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Certainly not. The human soul, while incarnated in the physical organism, is within the womb of Nature and it is only when its full time has elapsed, and it has gained its immortal¬ ity, that it is re-born into the realm of spirit. It has burst the bonds of flesh and blood; escaped from its mother's womb, the uterus of Nature, and is free again. And now, dear reader, that we have finished our chapter on sex; can you spare the time to close the book and calmly, quietly and seriously contemplate on what sex really means? Let your soul rise as high as possible, in pure, holy thoughts; thinking only of that mysterious something in life which is able to develop beautiful, fragrant flowers; delicious, luscious fruit and nour¬ ishing grain foods; all from tiny seeds placed in the ground. How this is accomplished is far beyond our understanding. Yet, men and women are high above the products of the soil, the birds, the fish and the animal kingdom. We have freedom of thought and action, and should keep out of the mire. If we honestly desire the good, noble things of life, we can live as we think and thus help to make a glorious heaven here on earth; a real, sincere, friendly brotherhood of men and women; free of greedy, selfish and immoral strife and ill will toward each other. Why not try for it? Truly, this is the eternal prayer of all upright men and women, to have peace and harmony here on earth. UNIVERSITY QF MICHIGAN
