The DUALITY is found active in man's TWO-FOLD nature: His goodness, or God-like nature; and his evilness, or Devil-like nature. This is man as he is; constantly at war within himself.

The TRINITY is attained when man has learned to KNOW HIMSELF, as the ancients commanded. This means that man must come to understand himself; his weaknesses and evil inclinations on the one hand, and his strength or God-like qualities on the other.

He must finally succeed in balancing the two; rendering unto Caesar that which belongs to Caesar, and unto God that which belongs to God, denying or defrauding neither one nor the other. Such a man we say has attained to a form of deification; that is, he has become a Son of God.

There is no intention on our part to here write a treatise on religion, Spirituality or Godliness. Our interest for the moment is sex and the possibility of Race REgeneration by means of the "lifting up of the serpent" which is sex from the slime to which it was condemned by ignorance and the TABU of church, and to call vivid attention to the uncontradictable fact, THE LAW, that as man is governed by a Duality and a Trinity, SO IS SEX.

To deny sex or to hide it is to suppress it. This must always result in some form of DEgeneration of either mind, body and Soul, the spiritual part of man, or ALL THREE OF THEM. To more or less deify sex is to IMMORTALIZE it. As a suppression of sex brings about some form of DEgeneration, we must consider sex and deal with sex as we must with the whole man.

We must recognize its proper function; its necessity to the continuation of the race as well as its application in the spiritualization of the whole man. In other words, we must neither deny nor deify sex, BUT MUST TAKE THE MIDDLE COURSE, completing the Trinity, and give sex its rightful, proper, sane place in life.

It is unreasonable to assume that man can think of God, love God, become CONSCIOUS of God and at the same time ignore or suppress sex - the means of creation. It is equally unreasonable to consider sex as being all of life; giving it precedence in one's thoughts, desires and efforts. The one is as irrational and as abnormal as the other. Both lead to weakness and worse.

The middle course is the only rational, sane course to pursue. God did not give sex to man to ignore or to merely "multiplenish the race." Neither did he give man other things for one purpose only. Duality governs in all activity and the fulness of life is to bring this duality into a trinity of action.

The proof that sex and God are linked together, sacrilegious as this may at first thought appear, is found in the fact that the man or woman who has so abused sex as to have destroyed its very existence, is no longer capable of loving either the opposite sex or God. On the contrary, whoever is possessed of an abundance of sex ability or capacity, well controlled, is not only capable of the greatest love, but also possessed of the greatest ability to accomplish mighty works.

One of the evils, and there are many, is related neither to the sex nor the consciousness of its possession, but in deifying it; that is, in placing it upon a throne above all other things. "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me" is the command; this "no other" refers to all things man may desire, possess, make use of or abuse; not referring to sex alone.

It is almost as easy for a man to make "a god" of woman, of gold, or power, or of position, as it is of sex. Why, then, take the position that the evils growing out of sex are so much greater than the evils attributed to other things? All things that man can use or abuse are under the one Law.

For the married to engage in the marital embrace under the delusion that it is a sin, with a feeling of shame while under the compulsion of normal desire, IS A DEGRADATION NOT ALONE TO THOSE SO ENGAGED, BUT IS ALSO SACRILEGIOUS TO GOD, as much as if man engaged in prayer with a sense of shame. Both are holy and sanctified if the intent and the procedure are correct.

Just so long as man is led to believe and made conscious that the creative act is sinful and something to be ashamed of, just so long will he be unable to form a true concept of the God who created man with sex desire.

There is no law in heaven or earth which is one-sided or lop-sided. The Law is duality, hence that which is applicable to materiality, is likewise applicable to spirituality. In the fulfillment of this dual action of the Law will be found the means to Race REgeneration.

Let us not lose sight of the fact that the Infinite begins in the finite. Without the finite there could be no Infinite, at least in so far as man is concerned. The wise Creator recognized this fact in the creation of a body, moulded out of common earth, wherein to house the Soul which should sooner or later become Immortalized.

Here we have an example above all others that the Infinite must make use of the finite for its manifestation: an Immortalizable Soul imbedded in a body of clay. However, when man attempts to find selfish or complete satisfaction in the material and physical by means of carnal practices, then he is entirely on the wrong path.

The satisfaction of the physical and material may be based on what, under general conditions, would be carnal, but with a spiritual desire. Then the spiritual takes the place of the material, PROVIDED THE PROCEDURE IS CORRECT.

Does man not use material mind and heart during his prayers to God? And though his prayers proceed from man's material self, are they not acceptable to God? Is the creative organism less holy in the sight of God than mind and heart? If not, where then is the evil in the use of one and not the other, IF THE DESIRE, i.e., THE INCENTIVE IS IN LOVE AND DEVOTION? God is not a respecter of persons, hence He cannot possibly be a respecter of the parts of a person, and remain GOD.

Two glaring misconceptions have enthralled the minds of men, lo, these many centuries. First: That man is possessed of an Immortal Soul; Second: That man seeks Infinite Love through the medium of finite beings.

These two illogical conclusions proceed hand in hand; neither one has a basis of fact. Man does possess a Soul; or, more correctly, the nucleus or SPARK of a Soul; but, unless the Nazarene was very much in error, that SOUL IS NOT IMMORTAL UNTIL MAN HAS MADE IT SO BY MEANS OF REGENERATION, i.e., THE SECOND BIRTH.

Secondly, the wise man does NOT seek Infinite Love by means of, or through the help of finite beings; what he does do if he is a normal man, is to express his Love for BOTH GOD AND THE SECOND HALF OF HIS BEING, HIS MATE, BY MEANS OF A FINITE ACT. The Love and worship of His God is one thing; the love for his mate another side of his being.

The two in conjunction complete both his being and his worship; one does not interfere with the other, they complement each other; moreover, and what is of the utmost importance, is the indisputable fact that, unless God fostered a fraud upon his children, WHEN MAN ENGAGES WOMAN IN LOVE, HENCE IN WORSHIP, HE THEREBY NOT ONLY COMPLETES A SACRED RITE BY MEANS OF MUTUAL EXCHANGE, BUT HE LIKEWISE WORSHIPS GOD AND, IF THE ACT IS AS IT SHOULD BE, IT IS A MEANS OF REGENERATION; THE LIFTING UP OF THE SERPENT, HENCE OF THE TWAIN, TOWARD GOD.

If man engages in the act for purely self-satisfaction in order to relieve his lusts, then God and all His goodness will be left out of it, but if he follows the Divine Law, then Love is at the foundation of the act; LOVE GLORIFIED, and since GOD IS LOVE, AN ACT OF LOVE CAN NEITHER DEBASE MAN NOR LEAVE GOD OUT OF IT.

The creative act, as some ignorantly maintain, is NEVER followed by weakness, by a feeling of degradation, an aversion toward one's partner or a repugnance, BUT BY A FEELING OF EXALTATION, OF UPLIFTMENT AND OF GREATER LOVE. Only when self and lust prompt the act do these undesirable feelings follow in its wake.

The normal act of love - not mere satisfaction of a biological urge, though this is the unconscious part of it - does not ever permit man a feeling of escape from his responsibilities to mankind and God, but instead, IT ADDS A FEELING OF GREATER RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HAVING ACCEPTED THE "FAVOR" HE IS NOW BOUND TO PROTECT THE PARTICIPANT IN THE RITE, FOLLOW WHAT MAY.

The creative act, properly and holily engaged in, lifts man from the lowly creature, first to manhood, and finally to Godhood. He awakens his consciousness to a fixed certainty that he is not merely a creature of God, but a co-creator with God, and that if he desires to maintain the newly born MANHOOD, he must not commit any mean or degrading act.

Guilt never follows in the wake of the marital rite if Love is the base; if consent is won; if the act is normal, natural and complete; the mutual exchange completed and the thoughts turned toward Love and God.

Love is not license; not even liberty; LOVE IS AN ACT WITHIN THE LAW and NEVER AN EVASION OR INFRACTION OF THE LAW. Immorality is first a liberty taken, than a license, and is followed by anarchy.

This is not possible where man is conscious of a proper concept of God and His Divine Law. It is so only when men have lost all faith in the existence of God due to a false and misleading interpretation of His Laws.

Once the truth of the possibility of immortality is fully recognized, not as a free gift from God, but as something man MUST EARN FOR HIMSELF BY THE ELEVATION OF HIS THOUGHTS AND DESIRES, AND THE PURITY OF HIS ACTS, MAN WILL NO LONGER DEGRADE ANYTHING, BUT WILL STRIVE TO UPLIFT ALL HE CONTACTS. THIS INCLUDES HIS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, BECAUSE IN THIS HE IS NOT ALONE, BUT ENGAGED WITH THE ONE WHO POSSESSES HIS AFFECTION AND HIS LOVE, AS GOD POSSESSES IT IN THE HEAVENS.

His acts begin in the finite, the temporal, and have their reaction in the INFINITE AND ETERNAL. His Self-Love is changed into love for another. His life is fused with that other; moreover he feels eternally responsible for that other so long as love lasts.

If sex were an evil in itself; if the exercise of sex were in itself degrading, than it would most certainly be true that even if engaged in for the sole purpose of propagation it would be a sin.

If the engagement of sex is not a sin when so engaged, then it follows that if Love is the base of the act, and if the thoughts and desires of the heart be turned to God, it becomes not only an act of creation, but also of worship, hence a Divine Act and a DIVINE ACT IS A MEANS OF REGENERATION OR REBIRTH.

Moreover, if the act is engaged in for creation it is not a sin, and if conception does not follow, WHAT THEN? Is it a sin? if it is, then who can FORETELL whether such an act would be fruitful? If none can, and it is certainly true that NO ONE CAN, then, in order to be on the safe side THREE THINGS ARE ESSENTIAL:

FIRST: The basis of the act must be Love and mutual consent.
SECOND: The possibility of pregnancy must be accepted.
THIRD: Because of the possibility that pregnancy may follow, the act itself should be one of Love; with a desire to lift that Love to God, and at the same time exchange the forces for the upliftment, mentally, physically and spiritually, for the benefit of those engaged in the act.

These three Laws obeyed, and they areLaws, sin does not follow the act and the result will be constructive and exalting.

The present cycle of immorality and unmorality in sex so rampant throughout the world is mostly due to a moral degeneracy in the individual and a consequent lack of faith in his fellow man.

By this we do not mean a moral degeneracy as concerns sex alone, but in its relation to true MANHOOD and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

To illustrate this it is necessary to refer to the first open, universal exemplification of this loss of MANHOOD AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY - the "scrap of paper" incident of the first world war. Quickly following in the wake of the repudiation of his sacred word embodied in contracts, treaties, etc., by the Kaiser, other men in high position, authority and power followed his example and no longer was the word of a man recognized by, or acceptable to, his fellow man.

The man "whose word was as good as his bond" ceased to exist to all intent and purpose. This degeneration of the MORALITY OF MANHOOD BROUGHT ON A DISREGARD OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE DEEPER INNER RESPECT FOR ONE'S WORD OF HONOR - (A MAN'S WORD OF HONOR BEING SUPPOSEDLY HIS MOST SACRED POSSESSION ASIDE FROM HIS DEEP FAITH IN GOD) - AND THE DISREGARD FOR THE NECESSITY OF UPHOLDING PROPERTY RIGHTS QUICKLY FOLLOWED.

With the loss of personal honor, manhood, the appreciation of the sacredness and inviolability of one's word of honor and loss of respect for the sacredness of property rights, it was BOTH NATURAL AND INEVITABLE THAT WOMAN SHOULD QUICKLY LOSE HER INNER CONSCIOUSNESS OF HER VIRTUES.

IT WAS ALSO NATURAL THAT MAN IN TURN SHOULD CONSIDER HAVING AS MUCH RIGHT AND AS GREAT A LIBERTY TO VIOLATE WOMAN'S SANCTITY, AS HE HAD TO VIOLATE HIS NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY. HE CONSIDERED THAT HIS WORD OF HONOR SHOULD SERVE ONLY TO GAIN POSSESSION OF WHATEVER HE DESIRED, IN ANY MANNER POSSIBLE, AND THIS COULD BE QUICKLY REPUDIATED WHEN IT NO LONGER SERVED HIM.

This lack of honor, of spiritual morality and personal responsibility, has continually gained momentum. At this moment the heads of State, the representatives of the people and most of those in authority make treaties and give promises today with little or no thought, ONLY TO REPUDIATE OR CHANGE THEM TOMORROW. As a consequence, the people as a whole no longer have faith in their chosen leaders, they have lost faith in themselves as well as in God.

And the basis of all this? The misinterpretation of the Laws of God; the instilling in the minds of men throughout the centuries, that they may commit any crime under the sun; any evil the mind can conceive and quickly be freed from all responsibility - NOT BY A PAYMENT TO THE UTTERMOST FARTHING, BUT BY A MERE REPENTANCE - A MERE "I AM SORRY," and all will be well with them.

In the minds of men there has been a gradual but continually growing suspicion of any Law, moral or spiritual, which would forgive the gross transgressor -- even if it be themselves - yet hold their victims responsible for the sins caused by such transgressions, if these victims failed to ask for such forgiveness.

Despite the loss of morality, the loss of the sense of honor and lack of personal responsibility, the minds of men have been slowly developing a consciousness of rightness and justice. This growing consciousness cannot conceive that a man can create a debt, no matter what its nature, and become free from it without he himself paying the account.

This new concept is recognized as being at variance with all the inculcations of religion he has received, hence his loss of faith in religion and in God; he as yet is not able to differentiate between what is taught as religion, and THE ACTUAL LAWS OF GOD.

Loss of faith in religion, or perhaps more properly, the church, is apparent by a steadily growing lack of attendance at church services. The loss of confidence in his fellow man has left man with nothing to believe in, with the result that he has lost his spiritual anchor and has placed his trust in the things he can see and feel; the pleasures and profits of the moment.

Accepting this as true and long since having learned that the most certain means for his highest sense of gratification is found in sex, he has, to a large extent, made sex his god, but without respect for the altar at which he serves.

What else can he do? Because of the manner in which religion was served to him he no longer has respect for it. He has confused religion as he understands it, with God, hence has no respect for God. The men he knows are as sinful, as unreliable, unpredictable and undependable as himself, therefore he is unable to place either trust or reliance in them.

All that is left to him is his sense gratification; worship at the fount he knows will please and soothe, at least for a time. The sex-god is his only god. It at least is ever-present, never failing; the penalty is ignored, just as men ignore the ultimate penalty for their broken promises.

Man's concepts must be changed. The interpretation of Spiritual or Divine Laws must be reversed in such a manner that men who are still honest at heart will be able to respect the God who made them or gave them life. Man must be made conscious of the duality of his being.

Man must become cognizant that there is a material and a spiritual man; that the material man has rights and privileges, but that the spiritual man must also be satisfied. He must be made conscious that he is a personally responsible being; held so by the Law and will be forced to pay to the "last farthing," for any guilty infraction of the Law.

Once comprehending this, he will have respect for the Law because it is a just Law, and he will feel a newborn respect and reverence for the Giver of that Law.

Greatest of all is the need for men to come into the consciousness that there is a Law of substitution; a means and method whereby they may be compensated, or compensate themselves, for something needed or desired, by accepting another thing if the thing desired is not to be obtained.

Furthermore, part of this Law of substitution is the Law of exchange. Understanding this Law fully, men will select the things good for themselves because there is no penalty attached. If that is not to be had by command or selection, THEY WILL NOT DISHONOR THEMSELVES BY TAKING FOR THEMSELVES THAT WHICH DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM OR TO WHICH THEY HAVE NO RIGHT, BUT WILL EXCHANGE SOMETHING THEY DO POSSESS FOR SOMETHING THEY NEED OR DESIRE.

Once this is fully understood men and women will respect all they possess, will not take advantage of each other, dishonor or debase themselves, but instead, will honestly deal with each other; to the benefit of those concerned, and with loss or disadvantage to none.

Despite all appearances, it is fortunately not true as so many fearfully believe, that in the present cycle of civilization sex is debased as in no other age. History, both sacred and profane, records greater and more universal immorality than at present.

Though, during these periods, sex practices were indulged in to the degradation of all concerned, no one appeared to have the slightest concept that there may be a holy, a spiritual side to it; the nature of all things being in duality.

While the masses of today are guilty of gross degradation and immoralities, and honor has fallen low, it is nevertheless true that there is an ever-increasing number of both men and women who are becoming conscious of the real meaning of sex.

These recognize its correct and holy use and that, as it is the means of generation, it is also of equal potency in the REgeneration of both the individual and the Race.

Once this concept gains momentum, the pendulum will swing to the right, as it is now to the left. A new cycle of morality, sanctifying manhood and personal responsibility, as well as a new and greater faith in God and in Laws that are just and fair to all, will have its beginning. It is then when both sex (Caesar), and the spiritual side of man, the Soul (God), will receive proper and rightful consideration.

Men who have lost faith in God, hence in all Law, naturally, gradually and unconsciously become unrestrained. Since there is no law to obey, hence no threatened penalty, why not enjoy life to the full, and what better medium is there than in the semblance of love? Men either have a sense of honor, or they do not. Even honor is based on Law.

Where there is no law, self-interest governs. Teach men both by precept and example that there is a God, and that there are the Laws of God WHICH PERMIT NO INFRACTION, and men will begin to respect both God and His Laws, and as they gain respect, they will begin to obey the Law.

Teach men that while sex may be debased and degraded, there being a mortal and lower side, there is also a holy, sanctified, spiritual side based on real love and affection.

Just as the lowness of sex can and does debase, degenerate and destroy, so does exalted sex lift up, give greater life, deeper peace of mind and finally consciousness of God, vide the experience and example of Moses and his children in the wilderness.

In all honesty, whether one is priest or layman, it is unfair to expect any man to respect sex, sanctify and exalt it, when he is taught that sex in itself is evil; a necessary evil for the continuance of the race, but aside from that, something to be shunned, hidden in a dark closet and to be ashamed of.

It is equally erroneous to teach man either from a religious or a moral basis that passion in itself is a sin; a means to the degradation of man. So long as man is man he will be a passionate creature; if he is not, THEN HE SHOULD BE, for otherwise he is a weakling and of little vaje either to himself or his fellow men, yea, even to God. Passion is a great force, a driving power, as incentive to action.

There is no evil in passion; the evil is found in the manner of its direction; whether or not it is under the control of reason. The passionless man cannot love either his sweetheart, his wife, or his God. The sin is not in the possession of passion, but in its unwise direction; in its abuse; hence it is an error to believe that passion is en evil; that it is to be rooted out or destroyed.

In this as in all of life, RIGHT use, not abuse or destruction, is the law; both religion and sociology should teach it. Man has too long been governed and mis-led by erroneous inculcations; all to his demoralization or destruction.

The comparison of man to animal in relation to sex is erroneous and degrading. The animal is governed by instinct and a rigid law of nature. In sex it obeys a biological urge. It does not reason; it does not think; it is merely true to its nature.

Man is, as so often mentioned, a dual being; a trinity in unity. He is a grossly material being, but he also has the capacity to become a highly spiritualized being. Like the animal, he is sexed. Unlike the animal, he has reason; he has feeling; he is passion. He has the privilege of being governed by passion; to permit his passion to stultify reason, and to degrade him.

On the other hand, he is able to govern and control his passion; to direct it by reason into the path of love which is affection, and through this love and affection, LIFT UP his passion to God, and with it LIFT up his mate.

Also, and at the same time, through the exercise of his passion by means of the marital rite, he may at once call into existence a new being; exchange forces with his mate for mutual benefit, lift up those forces by love to the REgeneration of their beings: hence their Souls to God.

It is all a matter of knowledge, of enLIGHTenment, and of the method pursued. The means are the same: sex and passion; the result is determined by the direction of its use. Sex for passion and self-satisfaction without love, is degrading; finally destructive; always dishonorable.

Sex lifted up upon the altar of love is holy desire, with recognition of its Holiness and sanctity, raises man and woman toward Godhood. Deny this, and you accuse God of a gross injustice to His creation; a diabolical intent in giving man a dangerous weapon which is destructive, lacking a means for his protection.

Sex is, at one and the same time, the lever that may lift man up to God, or degrade him, and sink him to the lowest hell. It is NOT sex that is to blame, but its misdirection; its abuse either wilfully or ignorantly. Love under the Law, IS THE LAW.

The church, not Christianity, consciously or unconsciously has been grossly guilty of inculcating the idea that sex is something to be ashamed of; either to be ignored, hidden or repressed, and in not teaching its followers the correct application of a mighty, world-governing force.

Furthermore, the church has ignored the teachings of the Law in relation to abuses, especially of the unholiness of the practice of pollution, the deadly results, hence, "sin" of the Biblically condemned practice of "casting the seed upon the ground," the worst of all, the three-fold purpose of what might well be termed the Holiness of marriage - the Wholeness of the embrace in its three-fold aspect.

The true union of exemplification of love and affection; the procreation of the race, and finally, the SPIRTUALIZATION of those who naturally engage in the marital embrace as intended by both nature and God, are all under the Law.

It is the duty of the church to teach these things. No other agency has this two-fold duty to perform; nor is any other agency justified by tradition to do so. This is a holy duty; a divine duty, therefore the work of the church.

The church, as well as some well-meaning but wholly uninformed reformers, may say that man's first duty is to God and that sex - speaking of sex as it should be naturally and normally - is secondary. This may appear to be correct at first thought - but let's look at another phase of the matter:

Man is born in ignorance. His actions are governed by instinct or "urges," until intuition takes the place of instinct, and wisdom the place of ignorance; but wisdom is attained only by experience.

This being accepted as true, the sex instinct, or biological urge, which contains within itself the desire for self-satisfaction, relief if you wish, is man's first and strongest desire.

Between the time of birth and the wakening of the sex instinct, the child and youth may be instructed in law and order; in religion and his duty to God and his fellow man, but all this instruction, though accepted, IS NOT FELT, DOES NOT REALLY BECOME PART OF THE CHILD.

The first REAL feeling, aside from its love for parents, is when the awakening of sex takes place. It is in PREPARATION FOR THIS VERY THING THAT THE CHILD SHOULD BE WELL INSTRUCTED IN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BOTH RELIGION AND THE REALITIES OF LIFE, SO AS TO BE FULLY PREPARED FOR HIS DUTY AS AN ADULT.

When the period of childhood gives way to manhood and womanhood, he or she will have the FAITH OR RELIGION TO LEAN UPON WHEN THE URGE OR DESIRE OF SEX BECOMES PRONOUNCED, AND BY THIS FAITH, WILL BE GUIDED, PERHAPS PROTECTED.

The wholly erroneous and misleading concept that repression or depression of an unlawful impulse as related to sex expression is less harmful physically and mentally than unlicenced or un-hallowed expression, is no longer tenable.

If sex "urge" were merely a "desire" which might be brushed aside as are the many other desires which assail man during life, this might be true. But sex is NOT merely an impulse in the strong, normal, healthy man. It becomes an all-pervading urge; an almost unconquerable desire; a COMMAND BY NATURE FOR ITS EXERCISE. What is the remedy? In Nature, its exercise should be in a normal, natural manner.

That answer in itself is easy, but what if man is not so situated as to give sex natural expression under the laws of marriage? The answer is equally easy and the results will be the same, BUT THE PRACTICE IS ADMITTEDLY DIFFICULT: Substitution.

The youth must be taught ways and means to direct his life forces to the enrichment of mind, body and Soul through various activities: exercises, games, sports, recreation and all that helps to build a healthy body. Man and youth are governed by the same laws. It is right here where the Spiritual concepts are so all-important that man and youth may have the strength to withstand the tempter.

It is NOT true that repression as ordinarily known is less harmful than expression, even if this be unlawful - from the ethical-moral standpoint. Repression dams up the forces. It sets up congestion. It produces inflammations and affects both men and women.

Unlawful, that is, unnatural expression has the same effect but in a different manner. Too long have we taught what we like to believe and have misled mankind. We must now face facts and teach the truth even though these truths are not altogether to our liking.

Man's true mission on earth is to GLORIFY GOD AND BECOME LIKE HIM. That implies bringing into manifestation and activity all of his potentialities. On the one hand this implies becoming a procreator with God, and this is possibly by means of generation, in which sex is fundamentally involved. This is number one on man's agenda.

Next to this, in fact completely interwoven with it, is God's command to man to Love, and in love, to be like Him. In God-ordained generation, love and affection between those engaged in sex embrace must have as great a part as does the desire of sex and its ultimate satisfactory ending.

Here again God is made a part, a co-creator. To speak of God in this connection may appear sacrilegious to prudes and weaklings, but not to the manly MAN who is capable of both: sex in its fullness and love-affection.

Last is the almost pure - there is nothing wholly pure where mortal man is concerned - Spiritual concept, which turns the thoughts and desires of the most inward being, toward God and all that is holy, during the marital - Love - embrace; thoughts of worship of God rather than the desire for satisfaction.

We can here well quote a Biblical statement from ST. JOHN 6:60: "This is an hard saying, can ye understand it?" and answer by saying that none are capable of understanding it except THOSE WHO TRULY AND FULLY LOVE.

In order to be capable of GLORIFYING GOD it is essential that there be active, deep within us, a desire to attain to the highest; which naturally implies becoming perfect. No man can or will ever be able to attain to perfection unless he uses all of his abilities and potentialities to the full and in the manner intended.

Sex being the very foundation, the very beginning of his existence, it implies that his creative ability must be exercised as well as his constructive knowledge, all in a natural, normal manner, but exercised they must be.

This again implies the "self." But this self must not be confused with selfishness. Every man is born for the purpose of improving himself and to that end is given every opportunity to not merely help himself but to develop himself in every manner possible.

It is his FIRST DUTY to help - HIMSELF, before he even attempts to help other men - humanity. By learning to help himself he gains the knowledge with which to teach others to help themselves; helping himself, therefore, is a double duty.

If he can be made proud of himself and his capabilities, then like the good husbandman, he will carefully and sacredly guard everything, every means of value in his quest for perfection. He will abuse or misuse nothing. All that he is, all the he possesses, will be turned to good account: THIS INCLUDES SEX.

To come to the crux of the matter, no Christian, using the term in its esoteric sense as meaning one who has become conscious of the Christos or Christic Spirit within himself, will be guilty of sex abuse or the abnormalities associated therewith. Why not? Because to do so means self-pollution and self-pollution means a degradation of that Christic Spirit within.

If, and when, the church teaches the exact sex laws - teaches them truthfully and fearlessly - that of the many degrading practices now rife among society, one of the most degrading and destructive is Conjugal fraud in one form or another, i.e., the Biblical "casting of the seeds upon the ground," and the punishment in the form of ailments of the genital organs in the female and Prostatitis and other serious diseases in the male, a good beginning toward sex purity and self-upliftment will have been made.

Dare physicians and churchmen do this frankly, openly and unreservedly or will they continue to play with the fire that has destroyed nations and will continue to destroy them until men, through suffering, gain wisdom for themselves?
