* The act or acts discussed in this Chapter constitutes what is
in reality the path of death. We humbly suggest that those
who question this fact obtain a good Bible Concordance and carefully
look up all the references dealing with the "seed" It
is certain that a grim awakening awaits them.
-----------------------------------------------------
How Many of the multitudinous denizens of this old earth have read the Bible with a desire to learn the truth, and honestly or hypocritically call themselves "Christians"? How many have carefully studied the very important books of Moses, in which he so emphatically commands man to AVOID "casting his seed upon the ground"? How many of those who have read the Sacred Scriptures - so-called because they teach the law - have actually obeyed these Laws in act and spirit?
It is safe to say that this Divine fiat has been more or less impressed upon the men who have been sincere in their search and study. However, only a comparatively few really comprehend that in this edict is contained the Law of life and death to man as an individual, and to the race in general.
Disobedience to this one command in the "garden" (the beginning of conscious man) has been the cause of wars and rumors of war, sin and sickness, misery and finally death; in short, it started all of the undesirable conditions which have in the past, and which still enslave, mankind. Except for man's first disobedience to this Divine command - which is the Law of Life or death - depending on whether it is obeyed or ignored - life on earth would be a heavenly, blissful experience instead of the proverbial "daily grind."
"The Soul that sinneth, it shall die." - Ezek. 18:4, 20, is an eternal, irrevocable law, and is directly applicable to man's almost universal practice of giving his "seed unto Moloch"; - Lev. 20:2, i.e., the casting of the seed upon the ground" in one manner or another because this is the wasting, i.e., unholy destruction, of the universal, creative substance out of which man is created and is the supply material for the "temples not made with hands" which alone can "house" Souls. It is the universal substance, God-given to man for both procreation or generation and for his spiritual RE-generation.
In the ultimate it is immaterial by what specific act or acts man casts seed upon the ground; whether he be married and living a form of prostitution with his legalized wife, committing some form of pollution, masturbation, Coitus Interruptus or any other Biblically condemned practice.
The ultimate result will almost invariably be the same, with but slight variations, except that possibly one type of behavior is more "beastly" than the other - with apologies to the beasts of the field.
Sodomism and other perversions are admittedly more degrading, even in thought and desire, than the unsanctioned, i.e., UNSACTIFIED, acts engaged in by men and women during the marital rite.
Of all the unnatural practices in married life, pollution as the result of non-completion of the rite, or, as the Biblical language, "casting the seed upon the ground," - to Moloch - is probably the most disgusting and Soul degrading, while the immediately harmful effect is in Coitus Interruptus.
Consulting any modern medical text on the subject - and many are published especially for the laity - it quickly becomes apparent that Coitus is possible only as a result of the blood rushing into the male organ of generation. The male in turn brings about the same result in the female by coddling, endearments, etc.
In normal, natural Coitus the desire of both, and movements in harmony with the desire, will bring about a climax or sensation, resulting in immediate release, followed by the relaxation of the entire system, ESPECIALLY the nervous system, with a normalization of the blood circulation.
If the marital embrace is all it should be, mentally, physically and spiritually, then there will follow a feeling of general well-being; a let-down as it were, with a desire for rest.
However, if the Rite is engaged in, both parties brought to a high state of excitement until it would almost seem that the organism could bear no more, and then the act is left unfinished (Coitus Interruptus), the parties separating, there will be no immediate let-down, no relaxation of the nervous system, but, on the contrary, an intensification of excitement and the blood will not at once recede; leaving the organism calm and satisfied.
If this practice is repeated time and again, it will result in ovarian congestion and inflammation, causing various diseases of the woman's generative system, shattered nerves on her part, and prostatitis on his part, ending finally in some form of surgical operation for both. Uncountable such operations each year are traceable directly to this vicious practice.
That is not all. Perhaps long before there is need of such operations, there is disgust on her part, and hatred on his part, because he will despise himself for the practice, but blame her for his difficulties. It is reasonable to estimate that eighty-five per cent of all operations for Prostatitis, and eighty per cent of what are generally classed as "female diseases," are made necessary because of the practice of Coitus Interruptus in some form or another. In addition to the damage to the physical well-being, fully eighty per cent of the sorrow, misery, hatred and disgust in conjugal relations is traceable to these practices, hence the "hells" in life and the consequent breaking up of homes.
It is the universal disobedience to the commands voiced by Moses and other Biblical writers against throwing "any of the `seed' to Moloch" that is directly responsible for many of the miseries in the world. Men and women continually prostitute themselves, draining the life forces to the very dregs, casting them aside as so much rubbish, that a carnal passion may be satisfied. For a moment's pleasure a terrific price is paid in moral weakness, physical suffering and mental degradation.
Contrary to all that has been taught by those who fail to comprehend clearly the subject, we maintain that the sex desire is not abnormal, not an inheritance which came to man gradually as he fell from his high estate. "Male and female created He them," hence the creative organism of the male as of the female were made a part of them.
God did not create these organs for the mere satisfaction of having accomplished the theretofore unknown, but because He intended them for a noble purpose - a specific purpose - procreation and recreation.
It is unreasonable and illogical to believe that desire was not given man and woman at that same moment of creation; because where desire is unknown, use is not made of a potency or principle.
We therefore condemn and exclude those unreasonable teachings which would have us believe that the creative desire did not come to man until after he had fallen from his high estate.
Such instructions induce people to believe that sex longings are unnatural and unholy, causing them to attempt suppression, and by stifling a natural impulse they create an abnormal condition, generally ending in degrading vices and indulgence in Soul-searing rites and debaucheries.
We firmly contend there is nothing impure in the entire department of sex, nor unnatural in the normal desire; although we freely admit that there are all too many unsanctioned exercises of the creative function, which end in sorrow, misery and ultimately in death. It is the perversion to which the function is subjected that is objectionable, destructive and degrading. One must be reasonable and differentiate right use and its desirable results from abuse or non-use and the penalty which sin visits upon the transgressor.
We emphatically condemn the inimical teaching that creative desire is destructive to the spiritual nature in man. As a fact, the contrary is true; although it must be understood that the appetite should be normal and indulgence not merely for pleasure. The selfish passion must be held in strict abeyance, while the purpose of the Rite should be either generation or RE-generation. There is no sin in the ecstacy that accompanies a "deed will done."
Because of the pernicious teachings, leading the mass to believe that normal sex desire is destructive to the spiritual nature in man, many follow the Path of Death. On the one hand we have those who attempt to kill out all desire, thereby destroying the source of power in man - the foundation of his spiritual REgeneration and redemption; while on the other hand are the advocates of license and unbridled passion, giving free rein to their passion in promiscuous relationship and free love - damning the Soul and making moral lepers of themselves.
The strength of the creative energy is to the human being what steam is to the engine. The greater the amount of steam the more power; provided always that it is directed along the proper channels and held under control. Similarly, the stronger the creative power in man, when combined with normal desire, the greater are his possibilities for achievement; provided, also that these energies are directed along the right channels - for generation and REgeneration.
That sex desires, the Libido, are normal throughout all Nature, is clearly indicated by the animal, which though not mating at all times, does seek the satisfaction of Nature's fulfillment when in season. This cannot be termed the carnal nature, but rather the creative nature within the animal, which at certain seasons, awakens in order to perpetuate its species.
Many writers and educators do not seem to grasp the difference between man and animal, failing to take into consideration several important factors. The animal seeks mating only during the Lunar season, while the human seeks satisfaction between the Lunar periods. The animal nature is a single one; is entirely carnal or animal, while man's nature is triplicate: (1) Animal or carnal; (2) Love and/or affectional; (3) Spiritual or REgenerative. If man is enlightened, truly man, then all of his three natures coordinate in unison during the marital rite.
That which creative urge has been unable to accomplish in the animal is achieved in the human - the diabolical reasoning which induces the male to leave the female when masculine passion is satisfied, or at the request of the female. It is not because of his creative desires that man has, in all too many instances, become degraded to a degree lower than the beast, but through the abominable and degrading practices by which he attempts to sate his appetites.
Truth is all too frequently unpleasant to hear, and this is particularly true when sex is the problem under consideration. However, if we are men and women, and not merely males and females weaklings and degenerates - we will be keenly willing to use our reasoning faculties and give careful consideration to this most important subject from every perspective.
When a man does otherwise, it is clearly an indication of either ignorance or weakness, or of some diseased condition lurking within. Generally, we partake of three meals a day. This becomes a habit and we have a sense of hunger at certain times each day without mentally dwelling on the subject. We pursue our business, vocation, or profession with neither thought nor desire for food except at the proper time.
In like manner the healthy man gives his attention to the duties before him and refuses to permit his mind to dwell on carnal satisfaction. When the "time is propitious" he seeks his mate and they embrace naturally and in holiness. This is Nature's and God's plan.
It is sad indeed, to contemplate the many who live to eat and drink, rather than eat and drink to live, and who make free use of drugs to free the body of congestions resulting from over-indulgence, in order that they may indulge again.
These are on a par with the man who exercises his creative ability, stopping short of the actual climax, that he may shortly indulge again and enjoy his carnal pleasure; wholly ignorant of the fact that he is setting up an inflammation which will shortly make it impossible to have a normal marital embrace, and that his "sin" is as great and as destructive as that of the man guilty of "casting his seed upon the ground."
For the true man, love must be the actuating force; the true normal and healthy male never, for a moment, considers it wise or desirable to have congress with a woman for whom he has neither affection nor love.
With primitive man there was but one consideration; the object in view was procreation; he had not as yet attained to the knowledge of the human Soul, or the possibility of its Immortalization by means of REgeneration.
There may have been love in his breast for his mate and a desire for children, but beyond this his reasoning faculties did not go. It is even possible, that as in the animal kingdom of today, his mate had only a certain period during which she sought the embrace and the male, knowing no other law, was obedient to her wish.
We no longer belong to the primitive ancestors, although in some respects we are less civilized, if civilization is based on morality and spirituality.
We have the power of reasoning; the comprehension and understanding that there is in man more than can be satisfied by eating, drinking, sleeping, and a pleasurable act through which procreation is made possible. We feel within ourselves that we are dual; that while we have a desire to live and enjoy, and to give pleasure, we are constantly seeking the ideal and longing for an understanding of the laws leading to spiritual consciousness. Of all this the primitive man was wholly ignorant; therefore it is illogical to analyze the creative impulses from his standpoint.
Unquestionably, there was much in the primitive man that moderns could will accept as examples after which to pattern their own lives. The primitive man was well satisfied with the association of one woman, and because of this, his creative organism did not become inflamed as so often happens at the present time when men indulge promiscuously, absorbing the mixed magnetic forces of numerous women.
This is always destructive to both health and stability of mind. When, to satisfy the passions, man or women indulge in Coitus with different persons within a limited time, the blood becomes a mixture of different forces.
This creates a consuming fire in the blood, a constantly increasing desire for more frequent indulgence, creating an irritation or inflammation of the creative organism, which, like coitus interruptus, ends in prostatitis in him, ovarian inflammation or congestion or other serious ailments in her; and in both, a nervous instability.
Furthermore, our primitive ancestors lived as far as we can gather, in harmony with the greatest of all laws; the one so consistently inculcated by Moses, through which he attempted to save his people from the fearful diseases which were ravaging them. These diseases had their inception in continuous indulgence to the point of satisfaction, and then discontinuing for the moment; thereby cheating themselves, and their female victims; defying God's greatest law; damning themselves and those guilty with them.
The great mass of men have not yet become acquainted with the absolute law, that man has not the slightest right, even though married, to embrace the woman unless he is actuated by love. To seek the embrace when passion and desire, minus love, is the incentive, is to commit an unholy act. It is prostitution, resulting in mutual hate, sex degeneration, ending in impotency; and if a child results, it may be a weakling, an idiot, or with tendencies toward crime or insanity.
The sex function with all its potentialities, when used solely for creation and (self) REcreation, is the highest gift of God to man. It makes of man a co-creator with God. By the uplifting of this force, "mortality is enabled to put on Immorality." It is the one potent factor for continued youth, health, beauty and longevity.
On the contrary, the abuse of the function is the cause, now as it always has been, of all the plagues that have appalled humanity throughout the ages. If one is seeking a picturization of the grave results of these abuses, he needs but read understandingly the Biblical narrative of Moses with his children in the wilderness.
The race was threatened with extinction by abuses and degenerative practices. It was saved only by his timely intervention and the discontinuation of self-pollution on the one hand, and the discontinuation of "casting of the seed upon the ground" on the other.
Their salvation was symbolized by the "raising of the serpent," i.e., the LIFTING UP, or SPIRITUALIZATION, of all that belongs to sex.
Correct use of any potency, assuming that this includes normal use, is the only method to greater power. The abuse of any potential inheritance produces a gradual weakening and ultimate destruction, the dissipation of that power. Especially is this true regarding all pertaining to sex.
We repeat with emphasis another law governing man is his relationship with woman and entirely separate from those already mentioned, but which is of equal importance, if he aspires to reach his highest development. While it is indisputable that the GREATEST consideration that should govern the embrace is love, it is equally true that he must approach her only by gaining her consent, preparing her through caresses and the endearments so highly prized by every true and normal woman.
No man has any right to possess a woman until he has first aroused her to an active desire to be possessed. Many a woman considered as frigid, or actually almost dormant in feeling, may be aroused to the heights of the love passion by well directed caresses. The basis of all sex relationship must be mutual consent sanctioned by love.
We condemn, with all our might, the practice of countless men, termed husbands, taking forcible possession of their wedded partners considering them bound to comply because of a marriage certificate. This constitutes rape in the spiritual sense, as certainly as it is rape when a man forces a woman not his wife - especially one of immature age - into compliance.
White slavery so universally condemned is not one whit worse and no greater cause of sorrow than is the prostitution continually practiced between countless men and women, who, though married, have no love for each other, and who, in many instances, actually hate and despise each other.
A white slave is one who, contrary to her desires, is made a prisoner and is forced to receive attentions which are repulsive to her, until finally she is willing to lead an immoral life without compulsion.
Where is there any actual difference between the woman of "ill fame" who sells her body, and the husbanded lady, who, for one reason or another, permits favors revolting to her nature, while possibly hating or bearing malice toward her husband? Not alone does the woman suffer, but he, also, is severely punished; the incentive may be different; the ultimate results are identical.
We have frequently said that women, especially those married, have become slaves to the passions of their husbands. What of the numberless instances where husbands truly love their wives, obeying the laws in their entirety, never approaching them except with caresses and consent, but who, time and again, are allowed the privilege only upon a promise to be "careful"?
Plainly stated, she consents only after he agrees to "cast his seed upon the ground," thereby protecting her, but committing the crime which Moses forbade all people under penalty of death to the Soul.
Foolish man! Because he loves and desires, he complies with
her request, only to find that for some unknown reason, she becomes
less lovable and more irritable; harder to please, more unsatisfied
and fault-finding; while he comes to care less for her and finds
himself gradually losing his strength and virility, thoroughly
disgusted with all that concerns sex and womankind.
