The CURSE of mankind in every age has been radicalism; from one extreme we swing to the other. Either we respect neither law nor order, or we legislate every privilege out of existence, making slaves of men.

Our former understanding of all that concerns sex has been irrational. For long centuries the sexual organism has been believed a shameful possession; thought of as unmentionable; its exercise indulged for pleasure and personal satisfaction; while the procreation of the species has been mainly accidental.

At last we are beginning to comprehend both the potentiality and sacredness of sex. With this enlightened understanding of the most important function native to the human being we are facing the spectacle of sex weaklings and human icebergs swinging to the chimerical and paranoiac extreme of inculcating not alone non-use of the function, but also teaching the possibility of reaching physical Immortality and the birth of children without the exercise of the function; first weakening the creative organism by non-use, finally degrading it; ending in the degeneration of the body and destruction of the otherwise Immortal Soul.

The degradation of sex in its many aspects is increasing alarmingly. Very few of our citizens seem aware of this fact and have no knowledge except that we are forced to contend with destructive and degrading social diseases and the Red Light districts of our large cities.

Generally men and women are unaware that the people are gradually becoming inoculated with a potential habit fruitful for the destruction of the race, through teaching of the phantasmal doctrine that the separation of the sexes was a mistake, brought about through sin; that man must find within himself the female; sex, as at present understood, becoming extinct. and children in the future born - the Lord knows how.

To the rational mind it seems highly improbable that such a fantastic idea could take root in the mentality of a people presumed to be well educated, enlightened and well balanced mentally. The actual fact is that we are being flooded with letters asking questions on the "how of this method,' clearly indicating that many have become converted to this new "doctrine of death."

We are fully aware of the fact that a book written in the abstract and based on supposition, is seldom convincing. It therefore becomes us to deal with concrete instances.

Before us we have a letter in which the writer, an intellectual woman widely known as a teacher, questions thus: "I do not believe any life can be happy and complete without Holy Matrimony, do you? We readily answer; "It cannot."

But there is more to this letter, as follows: "Male and Female in one." Here is the root of the trouble.

This woman, who daily comes in contact with many people, both men and women, and who is capable of influencing others, is continually inculcating the tenet that men and women once awakened, are complete within themselves and no longer require the opposite sex either as mates or companions; the solution to the enigma being the non-exercise of the creative function; suppression of all desires, and aspiring to find the completion and satisfaction of the opposite sex within.

As the rational mind can readily understand, the non-use and suppression, with such an idea in mind, has an action on the internal body similar to that resulting when we partly fill a barrel with fresh fruit juice, adding sugar and yeast, then tightly corking it.

Just as soon as fermentation begins, a new force is created; this will produce an explosion; or, if the barrel is too strong, a gradual stagnation of the liquid takes place, ending in spoilation.

In the human organism the non-use and suppression, which naturally includes retention, creates an irritation of the entire genital organism; this in turn gives rise to an abnormal outlook on life itself; followed by the hallucination of having become one of those especially chosen by God and anointed for the kingdom of eternal bliss.

The normal mind is incapable of conceiving the actual mental attitude of those who labor under such a delusion; we therefore quote extensively from another letter before us:

"Masturbation and kindred practices, common in the homes and out of them, all come out of the lusts of the flesh, and have been stimulated just as much by legalized lust as by unlegalized lust. By legalized lust I mean the coming together of a man and woman under the marriage law in the heat of passion to gratify the flesh."

"This often results in the bringing forth of a child who is alike stimulated in the flesh with ungodly passion, and eventually this apparently innocent child (boy or girl) falls a victim to vice which has not been weeded out through the teaching of godly ideas. So long as parents believe that legalized lust is sanctioned by not only the state, but also by God, the case is hopeless."

Much of this is admittedly true and such instructions were commendable, but directly after this sensible dissertation, we are told:

"The truth to be taught is the Truth that Jesus Christ proclaimed that when men are risen from the dead - that is, out of the dream sleep of pleasure and pain of the senses, that they neither marry nor are given in marriage, neither do they die any more (indulge in sex exchange of excitement of any nature) but become as angels in heaven - like unto the aspirational nature which is in the higher conscience of man."

Here is the key to the saving (?) philosophy taught by this woman to large numbers of both sexes. It appeals to almost all of the cold-nature, neurotically emotional type of both men and women.

It is admitted by physicians and investigators that we are rapidly becoming a nation of neurasthenics; and in all of these neurotics, already abnormal, there is a response to the teaching which denies exercise of the creative function.

This quickly wins the unthinking man and woman by the promise that they will "become as angels of heaven." We continue quoting:

"But the Master said, only those to whom it is given, can receive this Truth. Evidently it is not yet given to you to receive it. But as man purifies himself, willing to lose his life in order that he may find the Christ, God gives us the heaped up measure of Himself in idea, word and act. Thus is God made manifest among men; and thus does the Word become flesh and dwells among us."

Drs. Freud and Ferenczi, world renowned Psycho-Analysis, have full demonstrated that among the neurotic and neurasthenically emotional the appeal to martyrdom finds fertile soil, and especially so with the promise of "God made manifest" in them, as no effort on their part, other than repression, is necessary.

Moreover, the statement directed to a student or correspondent that "evidently it is not yet given to you to receive," would be an urge or incentive to "prove to the contrary." Thus one more novitiate is added to the fast increasing number of neurotics.

"If you knew the Philosophy of Life, or the history of the races, you would know that every root race experiences a change in the propagation of the species. We are going into the sixth root of the fifth root race, and are beginning to get ready for a higher kind of propagation.

Admittedly this is a crafty method of introducing the subject to those dissatisfied with present day religion and life as a whole. Who of the many seeking the higher life is desirous of being known as a laggard? Ever aspiring to an existence more exalted than that universally lived, mankind is willing to offer some sacrifice whereby to be freed from the commonplace.

Here is one who poses as a leader of those longing for "their Souls' salvation," first offering the Theosophical chaff of the Root races, then slyly telling them (most knowingly) that which each root race the method of propagation changes; such a revolution being imminent; then proposing the plan, modestly admitting having a foreknowledge of all that God is about to consummate. Read further:

"According to the Creative Plan, the Sixth day is the bringing forth of the Ideal Man, the "image and likeness of God.' This Ideal Man is the man unified in the male and female nature, and so we see the doctrine of completeness in Christ, which when quickened in consciousness forbids the expression of sex in the without. The Son of Man is to be the outer manifestation of the One, not of the two."

We wonder whether the writer did not know, or has forgotten, that the Creator looked upon His handiwork and "saw that it was good," that "male and female created He them"? Certainly the writer's statement that in "the sixth day is the bringing forth of the Ideal Man" does not agree with God's statement that what He had created was good; nor with the Biblical statement that the Son of man was born of two, not of one.

Many delude themselves with the belief that no one of sensible mind could possibly be deceived by such instructions. We wish our experience might justify such happy conclusions. Let us illustrate: Not long ago there came to our office a buxom lassie of possibly twenty-two summers. This young lady gave us her story. She told us of not being physically well; of suffering from fainting spells, and otherwise feeling below normal.

Her appearance induced us to question her relative to conditions to which ordinarily we would have given no thought when verbally examining an unmarried woman to arrive at a diagnosis.

After a time she admitted missing the menstrual flow for the past eight months, but stoutly maintained her innocence of any indiscreet action.

Do what we would, question as we might, she would not admit ever having carnally known man; finally claiming that if she proved pregnant as was our conviction, it must have been brought about by an overshadowing of God. Two weeks after her visit, she became the mother of a healthy and fully developed boy.

Did this girl honestly believe she could convince us that her pregnancy was the result of an overshadowing of God? If she did, what religious belief or philosophical teaching hypnotized her into such a delusion? If this were the only instance of the kind we would be willing to think her irresponsible for her action. Unfortunately, and regrettably, her case is merely only one of many others.

Another experience is that of the consummation in happy marriage of a man twenty-six and a woman twenty-two years of age. Both parties well developed and certainly well-sexed. In the beginning all was as it should be with those harmoniously mated, but shortly after marriage they become acquainted with one who claimed ability to teach Inner Spiritual development - the awakening of the Soul. Our friends, sensing the possibility of something higher in life than the mere physical, dissatisfied with the spiritual interpretation by the church and seeking for wisdom, were readily induced to study under this propagandist.

The first requisite demanded of them was to forswear sexual indulgence. This was extremely difficult in their case, because, as previously stated, they were fitted with God's greatest blessing, i.e., he with virile manhood, she with blessed womanhood, and, they were in love with each other.

However, their desire for knowledge and the promise of an exalted life, prevailed. They accepted the task of mastering the incentive of love. Though difficult, this was accomplished in a little more than one year; but they learned to their sorrow that as the desire for the marital embrace lessened, so did their love for each other, likewise the longing to be in each other's company diminished.

After awakening to this disturbing fact, they likewise became aware that with the decrease in their love for each other and the former yearning for the embrace, they had practically lost the aspiration for spirituality; finding themselves as two ships without rudders on a turbulent sea. In this predicament they consulted us in the hope that we might be able to save them from what now appeared a horrible plight.

This proved to be a slow, difficult process. She was suffering from extreme nervous irritability due to a thoroughly congested genital system. He suffered from an irritated prostate due first to extreme congestion, then to frequent losses. There was no aversion between them. This was in their favor.

A gradual rehabilitation was necessary. This was followed by a return of desire for each other's company and the vitality to once again normally perform the marital rite. Within a year they were once more restored to health and normalcy.

Since then we have had experience with many, many such cases, proving that this delusion is becoming general. We will proceed with our quotations:

"God ordained marriage - the marriage of the Spirit and the Soul to reproduce the body. This marriage takes place in the consciousness and it cannot take place until sex has been met and overcome. The symbolic marriage in the without is a counterfeit expression of this inner union - the seeking of the male and female to blend as one in life and love so as to reproduce the body. But they make a terrible fizzle of it as all life would indicate! All the rottenness of mortality comes out of this `most sacred relation' of man and women.

"However, when man separated his male and female nature, and later mixed with the 'he and she animals' he set up conflict and strife and animal nature, and marriage as the world knows it has been his means of evoluting into more perfect form. But let no one deceive himself that it is the Creative Plan ordained by God. Jesus Christ culminated the Creative Plan, and I am doing so. I know what I am talking about, for I have traveled the Path that leadeth unto light."

Is it possible for anyone to teach a more delusive doctrine, or to display greater self-righteousness and egotism than this "female of the species" here manifests? We frankly admit that in all our experience we have never had a more perfect illustration of the "holier than thou" attitude.

Several of the statements are actually founded on truth, as for instance, man does reach his highest state of being when he develops within himself the femine side of his nature. To speak clearly and understandingly, man should not merely be a business machine, cold-natured and devoted to mundane affairs; he ought also to allow the feminine or spiritual self within to manifest.

This is termed the Soul, which is capable of feeling love and compassion, and usually supposed peculiar to the feminine sex. So with woman, instead of allowing her love and affectional emotions to dominate her whole life, she should seek to attain tranquility by holding these in balance; thus permitting her to judge calmly and render decisions without allowing her sympathies to dim her judgment.

This is the exact meaning of the Spiritual marriage, and in no wise indicates that man shall be, or can be, sufficient unto himself, any more than it is possible for woman to develop within herself the male who can impregnate her.

Marriage takes place in the consciousness. Thus is born the enlightened Soul. This does not prohibit marriage in the flesh between two who love each other; rather, it is an incentive to contract such a bond, thereby conferring upon an hungering world the blessings of a progeny born from the enlightened and exalted love union.

It is necessary that sex should be under control, but overcoming is not indicative of the destruction or deadening of the function; rather the exercise of it for wise and holy purposes; that is, for procreation, recreation, and regeneration; all of these are possible through the love union between man and woman.

It is altogether false that "all the rottenness of mortality" comes out of the "most sacred relationship." This is a lie, and a libel on God and His creation. It casts a stigma on all those who love one another and find health, strength, happiness and eventually Immortality, in their mutual love embraces.

Admittedly, the sorrows of morality spring from the sensual relationship between two people who seek each other only to the extent of indulging. As it has been frequently pointed out, that which can destroy life, can also offer life.

The fact that an exercise is destructive to one under unfavorable circumstances, is not the least indicative that it is harmful to another under different circumstances. Man no more separated himself from the female than did any of the other sexed creatures part one from the other. The creative law launched certain forces into motion, male and female were the result of the action.

Moreover, it is not through any destructive practices, resulting from the vain hope of the female developing an impregnating male with herself that the world is to be saved, but in the procreation of a new race, by the embrace of men and women who truly love each other; and who have at heart the welfare of the race.

"The ancient order of the Essene Order(1) taught re-generation through right and holy use of the sex forces (not the relation between men and women) as the means of bringing forth the true son of man. You distort the Truth of their teaching either ignorantly or willfully.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The Therapeutae, members of the Outer Court of the Order of Essenes were allowed, and did marry. The writer is wholly ignorant of what the Essenes did or did not teach. See Philosophy of Fire.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"I uncover your error not that we may make much of the error, but that we may make much of the Truth. `I come not to bring peace but the sword' wherever the sword needs to be laid at the root of the tree of deception, trickery and falsehood.

"That falsehood has been over man's eyes too long! My work is to uncover his eyes, so that he may stand again before Jehovah God of his nature - naked and unashamed, that is, clothed in truth.

"Christianity has failed, and the sword has been the emblem of carnage, the destroyer of mankind; for no other reason than such deceptive interpretations of the teachings of Jesus"

An exposition of the Master`s instructions such as that just quoted, appeals to countless women who are weak and cold by nature; constantly seeking for an avenue through which to escape their sacred duty toward God, husband and family; likewise to men who are no longer possessed of virility, hence incompetent, consequently ready to grasp at any straw offering an excuse for their weakness and relieving them of a duty they find themselves unable to perform, and too cowardly to frankly admit their incapacity. Consider further:

"I teach in my course in REgeneration that Spirituality is attained through the right and holy use of the sex force, that is, its transmutation in the individual to beget the life and love of God which will clothe man in living Soul, and eventually in living body.

"The two that were joined in God must become one in flesh. The two that are joined by the laws of the world are not one flesh, but are separated, seeking to devour each other with ungodly desire and longings.(2)
-----------------------------------------------------
(2)In inexcusable libel upon the millions of happily married, healthy, normal human beings who have love in their hearts for each other and for God, such as this writer cannot possibly know or appreciate, Such teaching are "I am-ism at it worst.
-----------------------------------------------------

"Their desire is for God, their longing for the perfect union of the male and female within consciousness, but they cannot have it so long as they function in sex.

"Thank God that the laws of Divine Love forbid man's entrance into the Garden of Eden and its heavenly bliss until he has passed the "flaming sword" at the entrance which turns in every direction to keep intact the tree of life until he is pure enough to receive it."

The pity of it! Of the many now sincerely seeking to know the Father and to gain Conscious union between their Soul and God, and the linking of the male and female nature (not person) in their own being, an unknown number will be led astray by listening to such destructive instructions; not awakening to their danger until, through suppression, they have burned up the springs of living water within themselves and become either imbeciles or perverts, neurotics or weaklings. Neither man, nor woman, is able to reach Immortality by such an abnormal life; nor can the Garden of Eden be so entered. Love is the only key to that garden, and this love must be manifested by true affection and all this implies, between man and woman, and of both for God.

Consider the new and painless method for the propagation of the species, as taught by this new Avatar who so knowingly tells us God's plan:

"The manner of bringing forth children in the Sixth Root race is clearly revealed to me. I explained it to my class last night. We are studying the Third Chapter of Genesis and clarifying consciousness on may points. You should have heard the class, then you would not be anxious about how the Ideal Man is to be born, nor how he is to be housed.

"One thing I can assure you, the Ideal Man, like Jesus, will be born above the 'ways of man' (men, being the state of consciousness formed through the action of adulterated thought). Mary had to rebel against the modern methods of maternity before she could sing her Mary (merry) song, 'My Soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in Christ, my Savior.'(3)
-----------------------------------------------------
(3) A mighty truth perversely interpreted and leading many into the Path of Death.
-----------------------------------------------------

"Christ is the Savior in this day as it was in the days of Mary - and Jesus Christ is to be the body that is to manifest the body of Christ ideas."

One might smile at and ignore such an exposition of the most sacred relationship that can exist between man and woman, with its possibility of linking them directly with humanity and God, were it not for the knowledge that the number deluded by such doctrines is increasing daily, despite the fact that none of these disciples of the blind and misleading leaders has ever been enabled to materialize "one of the flesh out of the Spirit," and that not a single one has actually manifested health, strength, vitality, happiness or lasting success.
