For Almost one hundred years there has been established
and laboring in America an organization (1) now world wide, having
as one of its fundamental teachings the inculcation of a livable
philosophy dealing with Race REgeneration and the spiritualization
of sex.

This laudable activity has been, and continues to be, actively engaged in instructing its members in the positive tenet that God created man and woman in the first instance, in His own image, so that they, in turn, might imitate Him.
He at the same time conferred upon them the power and ability to employ this same creative potential in the REgeneration of their own self-being, thereby making certain that their "Mortality should take on Immortality" so that they might be enabled to begin living life eternal here and now.
The certainty of the possibility of Immortalizing the Soul of man (the term "Soul" being more correct than the word "spirit") by means of a moral life and the correct exercise of the procreative function, has been, and still is almost universally denied. The general conception almost universally accepted, is that the sex function has no purpose beyond procreation of the species; plus the fact that the same function, if unwisely exercised, leads to degradation of the spiritual self.
This conception denies the laws of logic which teach us that all action is dual; that the pendulum of the clock must swing as far to the right as it does to the left in order that balance and activity (life) be maintained.
If we admit the possibility that abuse of the creative function may bring about damnation, then it assuredly is sane to admit that its right and normal exercise has the potentiality of elevating the Soul above the carnal into the spiritual.
Creation on the human plane identifies the act whereby man brings into being a new body in preparation as the habitation for a Soul; REcreation or REgeneration is the method of transmuting the mortal into the Immortal; Biblically speaking "Morality taking on Immortality."
Possibly, for a clearer distinction of terms, we might better say: REcreation is the process of REBIRTH spiritually; of so purifying the body that sickness and weakness will be eradicated. REgeneration is the greater work of bringing into active manifestation the mighty Soul, a counterpart of God - that part of man which is usually allowed to lie dormant; to return to the Father at death of the physical no more spiritualized than when it left Him to take up its habitation in the Mortal frame.
To the majority of thinkers it appears incomprehensible that the established religious denominations defend the acceptance of Biblical writings in their literal sense, giving credit for all Wisdom, while at the same time denying that sex has any other function than that of the creation of bodies for Souls to inhabit. Herein, in our experience, is the entire weakness of religious inculcations.
This inconsistency is all the more glaring in the face of the Biblical record that Moses, the great Law-giver, based the salvation of the Israelites, during their sojourns in the wilderness, on the uplifted serpent. Interpreted: On the purification and elevation of the creative desire and exalting sex relationships.
The Israelites while on their long journey to the Promised Land, due to their ignorance of the Divine Law governing the creative function, so greatly abused, degraded and exercised the sex function for sense-gratification and became such perverts that there was immediate danger of the race degenerating to the point of utter self-destruction.
Moses sensed the impending evil, and with the wisdom obtained through his long years as a novitiate in the Priesthood of Egypt, realized that the evil was based on a misapprehension of the right exercise of the creative function.
He knew that a power potent to destroy was equally effective to save. To protect the remnant of the people, he inculcated the practice, through the symbology of the uplifted serpent, of engaging in the marital rite for no other purpose than to create new units for incarnating Souls, and the REgeneration of the self-being. This he commanded as a religious rite ordained by the living God and by so doing saved the children in the wilderness.
Moses was impelled to impress them with the constructive law, teaching them that the misuse and perversion of the Creative function, and the continued "casting of the seed upon the ground," (so terming the "unfinished" as well as solitary acts) would result, not only in the extinction of "God's anointed," but of every people guilty of the unholy practice.
He told his people that it was equally dynamic in the destruction of the Soul; voicing the fiat that "the Soul that sinneth, it shall die," because the casting of the germ of life (seed in the seminal fluid) upon the ground is Soul destroying. This is by reason of the indisputable fact that the essence which the laboratory, in the Biblical "reins," uses in the manufacture of the "seed" is identical with both nerve and brain material; a misuse of one being abuse of the other.
In the Ancient Egyptian Mystic Religion, in the days before the established Priesthood had become degraded, one of the fundamental tenets, the first lesson to be learned in the Secret Doctine, was the right use of sex, i.e., for the procreation of new bodies, the REcreation of the self-body and the REgeneration of the Soul within. Moses had been thoroughly instructed in these while a novitiate in the Priesthood; thereafter basing his entire moral code on these principles, and was thereby enabled to save his followers.
Christianity (established orthodoxy), following the Mosaic dispensation, has consistently rejected the Spiritual side of the moral code formulated by Moses. Because of this fact, it has thus far been practically impossible to interest any major portion of humanity in the great problem which we recognize as the basis for most of the social diseases and degradation on the one hand, and the salvation of both body and Soul, on the other.
Churchism gives prominence to the doctrine that all children are born in sin, while revealed religion, harmonizing with Holy Scripture teaches us that, though children may be born through sin, that is, through cohabitation by those who "lust," because they do not love or have affection for each other, nevertheless, they are not born in sin, nor do they actually commit sin before the age of responsibility - after the period of change from boyhood to manhood, or girlhood to womanhood.
The original sin resulted from the awakening, and the misuse, of the creative function; all other sins following as a result of the first wrong-doing. In the Garden of Eden, the first children remained innocent. They committed no evil, until after adolescence, until they disobeyed the creative law and indulged in the sexual embrace for pleasure and satisfaction, instead of only for procreation and REcreation.
Irrespective of all that we have said, the creative function may be exercised without "sinning." Had our first parents obeyed God's law, embraced only for the purpose of procreation, or the REcreation of themselves and the REgeneration of their own Souls, bringing them into a likeness of the Father, there would have been no sin, sorrow or death.
Very early after attaining the age of responsibility they learned of the possibility of indulging solely for pleasure and satisfaction through the act, and, in self-seeking, forgot God's fiat, and sin was the result. From this it must not be understood that pleasure and satisfaction is forbidden, but it may not be the primary incentive for action.
In fact, a drunkard or a degenerate might be the party to an embrace; the union might be completed and a child born as the result' yet, because of the actors, the child might possibly be either a weakling or an idiot. Such a condition would confer upon the child and inheritance of sorrow or/and suffering, consequently by an evil.
Likewise there is the possibility of a libertine cohabiting with a woman of immoral habits, resulting in a new creation. The exercise itself might have been normal and natural, but because the actors lived a depraved life, the new being could hardly be such as God would smile upon; rather, we would logically expect a creature of "sin", possibly Soulless and cursed with destructive tendencies. Let us never forget the Marital rite must be the result of love or affection; not merely desire or lust.
If those who consider these statements the result of illusion, rather than based on Divine Law, as we maintain, will carefully study the first two books of the Bible, having in mind at the same time, the moral code formulated by Moses, their opinion will undoubtedly undergo a decided change and become more harmonious with the laws of God and Nature as governing the Creative and REcreative functions.
The late war, fearful as it has been, proved to be a tremendous awakener. Physicians and thinkers who formerly scorned the idea of sex having any Spiritual significance, now frankly admit our contentions. Through this new conception of the potentialities of sex activity, it has become possible to teach men and women, boys and girls, the constructive use of the creative function, as well as its spiritual significance.
This, even partly accomplished, will save enough Souls within the next fifty years, to more than outnumber the total casualties of the entire war; and who shall say that the Universal Constructive Energy, call it God if you will, has not used the cruelty and hatred of men, and their desire to destroy, as a medium with which to enlighten the minds of men, thus giving an incentive to the creation of a Superior Race.
We have already implied the possibility that the Israelites were guilty of their sex sins because of ignorance rather than depravity. Considering the self-denials and renunciations they had undergone, it is unbelievable that they would deliberately do anything which might destroy the possibility of reaching the promised land and its blessings. However, this is just what they were rapidly doing as a result of their degrading and destructive practices.
It is written that even with the intervention of Moses and his wise instructions, of all those who left Egypt in great faith that they would soon reach the haven of freedom, very few lived to see that glorious day. The majority actually destroyed themselves, both body and Soul, while others brought upon themselves the most loathsome diseases, and all as a result of perverted sex indulgences.
Ignorance of the laws governing sex and all that pertains to the creative function is scarcely less today than when Moses formulated the moral code. We seriously question whether the sorrows, sufferings, miseries, and ignoble deaths are not even greater in proportion today, than they were in those ancient days.
In proof of this assertion, we offer extracts from a letter recently received from one who applied to us for information. It clearly illustrates the ignorance of countless mothers.
"In reading your article on the sex relation, one might get the idea that every sex impulse between husband and wife should be indulged, or else there will be sex perversion - and I don't know exactly what you mean by perversion, so meagre is the knowledge of the average married couple in the matter of sex that they have to learn only through experience, and too often through their mistakes."
This woman, wife and mother, frankly admits she possesses no knowledge of sex and its functions; and is even ignorant of any source where she might obtain an understanding; being forced to learn through bitter experience.
She is a member of the established church, but has not been instructed in the most sacred and important functions of her being; does not comprehend the laws which rightly understood, and correctly lived, bring health, happiness, contentment, and finally, Salvation of Soul, or as usually phrased: "eternal life in the heavens above."
Her comprehension of the laws we teach is incorrect. We do not maintain, nor do we inculcate the doctrine that the marriage rite should be freely indulged. We do assert there should be a complete and harmonious understanding between husband and wife regarding the Sacred relation; and that the continent life is destructive to the happiness of the home, because where this doctrine is consistently lived, husband and wife grow apart and disrupt the family ties.
We maintain the absolute law that the husband has no right, moral or spiritual, to demand compliance with his wishes; being privileged to accept only when freely granted. To take by force that which has not been won and offered with love, is usually the beginning of resentment on her part; misconception on his, finally ending in aversion toward each other.
If this continues for any length of time, disease and misery will most certainly follow. Unquestionably, this almost universal practice, which could, rightly be termed "legalized" rape, is one of the worst forms of prostitution, more degrading in its effects upon the man than frequenting the brothel; and as disastrous for the woman as if she practiced enforced continence.
We persistently assert that if two people live together, the husband of an affectionate, loving nature, possessing the virility which designates him a real man, and if his normal desires remain continually unsatisfied, either one of two things occur: he will be unfaithful to his vows or marriage or ultimately practice perversion.
We freely admit there may be reasons for a continent life, as for instance, where one or both parties are under great mental strain, nervous tension, or some severe sorrow. Where one or both of those concerned is of a cold and unloving disposition, divorce, rather than continence, must finally be the solution of the problem, though in all too many instances this is highly undesirable because of minor children in the family.
The letter previously quoted is typical. When many such letters are received, each with an appeal for knowledge, must we not naturally conclude that the need for correct and rational instructions on Sex Hygiene, Eugenics, Race Development and Regeneration, is acute? It is actually appalling when once we comprehend the necessity for such knowledge and investigate what passes for information on the solution of the problem.
If we desire to enlighten mankind, and thereby save nations from the sex perversion such as destroyed all of the mighty civilizations of the past, including Egypt, Greece and Rome, we must seek the root of the trouble, and there apply the remedy; this we cannot do unless we face the evil without fear of cavil.
Unless we are biased, we will be perfectly willing to carefully study all that is written by the great leader of the Israelites.
Nowhere is there an indication that Moses complained when God gave him the laws governing the creative functions, even though he also was taught that these laws were identical with those which, obeyed, would confer Immortality on man.
The preachments of all denominations lay great stress on the evils of fornication, adultery, and husbanding the harlot; and rightly so; but nothing whatever is taught respecting the dire results of indulging in the marriage rite by those who though married, do not love each other.
Pious eyes are closed to multitudes of instances where women are forced to comply with the demands of their wedded partners even though every fiber of their being revolts at the mere request. An unbelievable number of husbands request and receive favors from wives for whom they have no love, because they fear accusation of unfaithfulness; although as a matter of fact, the wives granting the privilege may have lost all affection for their husbands.
We contend that when the husband demands favors from his wife who does not love him, it will gradually create an aversion on her part, which in time will unbalance the system and bring about various mental, nervous and general diseases, with all the attendant evils; while for him, if long continued, it will mean final "damnation" to both body and Soul.
Should children issue from such indulgence, they, as often as not, are moral and possibly physical weaklings, if not actually idiotic. If a boy, he may become a libertine or pervert; while a girl will possibly be another candidate for street walker, inviting general condemnation, even from those who take advantage of her service. Neither boy nor girl is held responsible under the Eternal law. Rather, the guilt lies at the door of those fathers and mothers guilty of procreation when love was not the basis of the union.
In countless instances of legalized prostitution, unnumbered children are born; lacking in their love nature, in spirituality, in all that is essential to Manhood or womanhood; all due to being conceived when the incentive to the indulgence was downright lust on the one hand; hatred and aversion on the other. Such children may be, and often are, the beginning of a long line of descendants deficient in their moral, human, spiritual and divine attributes.
However harch these statements appear, they are truths nevertheless and we must face them frankly and honestly. If we are sincere in our expressed purpose to free this fair earth of prostitution and its evils, wedded and otherwise, we dare not rest content with our efforts to reform the denizens of the unhallowed districts.
We must also cease the procreation of others to take their place. This is impossible until we are willing to consider the act of creation as truly a religious rite as that of prayer, i.e., performance of love and devotion, not as a Black, or Witch's Sabbath, to be shunned in the light of day, and a subject of jest and debauchery by night when darkness enshrouds the earth.
After beginning the inculcation of truths relative to all concerning sex, why not accept squarely the two Divine Commands, which obeyed, would abolish all crime, abuse, and degradation of the creative functions; making of man the superior being he should be, in place of the weakling; the hateful, lustful, and revengeful creature, the instigator of war and carnage, he has been for so many centuries. "Give not thy seed unto Moloch," and the expressed penalty "The Soul that sinneth it shall surely die," once thoroughly understood and religiously indoctrinated in all preachments, would at least help to quickly modify the present destructive conditions.
According to all the great law-givers, irrespective of the age in which they lived, there are but two functions of sex: First, the creation of new bodies for incarnating Souls through whom God must be glorified. Second, (the spiritual function) whereby, through the marriage rite, the nature of man and woman - the two participating shall be raised toward God as in the performance of prayer. In both instances the relationship must be based on love and mutual desire; the compliance of the woman won, not obtained through brute force.
If there is to be a reformation in the sphere of procreation, followed by Race REgeneration, we must begin with the young; teaching them these mighty truths, so they, in due time, will elevate the creative function; making certain no children are born to them unless they are the personification of love and affection; refusing to prostitute their creative ability by reproducing their kind purely as a result of lust.
The boy yet in his youth should be instructed that the creative function is basically religious, enshrined in love and truth, just as is prayer and all other worship of God. The inculcation should not stop here but should continue until he reaches the age of responsibility; i.e., the capability of fatherhood. Instilled deeply into his mind should be the conviction that the greatest curse under which mankind has bowed for ages and suffered, is man's inhumaneness in demanding and accepting favors from a woman he does not love or for whom there is no affection in his heart; that the only motive permitting sexual congress is love and procreation, and a desire for the Immortalization of the Soul of both parties. If these truths are sufficiently impressed upon his mind and understanding there need be little fear that he will prostitute his creative abilities; little danger of his contracting any of the loathsome and degrading diseases now so prevalent.
The boy born in holy (not prostituted) wedlock, who has been instructed in the law, will no more think of seeking the embrace of a prostitute than he would of insulting his beloved mother, He will not abuse a function he has been taught to reverence as part of a religious practice; as the avenue whereby Immortality is gained. To him it will always be Holy and Divine.
We admit that many of those born in lust, and therefore the children of passion, will continue in the way of their fathers. We have in mind a new and correctly born race, a generation of Superior beings, born in love, when and where wanted.
Laws are necessary for the control of evil; but no legal enactments, however drastic, will wipe out the degrading practice of prostitution, nor the loathsome social disease, until the cause itself is eliminated. The treatment must be aimed at the roots of the cancerous growth; then, only is there hope of a cure.
The way of salvation is to instruct man in the truth; in
everything that concerns his creative function; both the reward
for correct use and the penalty for abuse. Prove to him that in
right use is to be found health, strength, success and happiness;
while in the path of abuse lies disease, weakness, misery, sorrow;
the birth of idiots and perverts; finally, damnation to himself
and his progeny.
