THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THAT SPIRIT WHOSE SOUL 
 
 — BE-WINGED — TOOK FLIGHT AT THE 
 
 DAWN OF A DAY. 
 
"Job's wish that his enemy had written a book, trite 
 as it is, we fear is not half apprehended, at least by those 
 who have never put their hand to perform the like. 
 Book means back, or that which is exposed. 7 gave 
 my back to the smitcrs.' Hence to write a book, the 
 book of one's most sacred and cherished thoughts, is to 
 expose the personality at its weakest and most un- 
 guarded points." 
 
PREFACE 
 
 N presenting this unsolved theme to 
 her readers, the author has not only 
 suggested the way but has given to 
 them a truth — not a secret. This 
 she cannot do, for there is no secret save that 
 which the soul unveils for itself! 
 
 Those who are seeking an antidote for the 
 so-called Sex-question, or the solution of any 
 other social problem, will not find it in this 
 book. But for all those who are seeking the 
 heart of things and the center of their own 
 being, the book will prove elucidative ; to those 
 who have found what they are seeking, there is 
 no elucidation necessary. 
 
 The Great Art, the Science of Regener- 
 ation, may be taught up to a certain point; 
 when this is reached, each individual must do 
 the Work himself. But care must be taken 
 that no part of the Work be neglected ; there- 
 fore, this book is written for and given to 
 those who desire to know the Way.

INTROD UCTION 
 
 HE work of redemption has been 
 called the Great Work. The medi- 
 aeval alchemists have written of it 
 in their own mysterious jargon. 
 How often have they confounded their 
 readers in their sulphurs and sublimations, 
 while heating them in their many vessels and 
 vases ! And to think that things are heated be- 
 cause not otherwise available ! — The alchemists 
 have done kingly service to all their readers. 
 
 The earth is a kettle in which many things 
 are "done." Many of the "things" are done; 
 multitudes are ready to digest themselves, a 
 coarse term for transmuting themselves. These 
 are all great souls, and to them mysteries 
 should be made plain. Upon the full assurance 
 that an exposition will be of no service to the 
 undeserving, this work is published — but also 
 with a view to the fact that the majority of the 
 American people are ready and waiting for vi- 
 bratory life. Man need not at the present time, 
 . for any golden purpose whatever, be divided 
 1 into so many fires, or woman into so many 
 I vessels. Nor need the number of fixations and 
 
sublimations be given; for, when once begun, 
 the work will end well, and those concerned 
 will know it, even without a knowledge of 
 what the old fire-philosophers meant by their 
 dubious terms. 
 
 The present tendency of this great Repub- 
 lic is onward — forever onward ! x\ race of 
 men and w^omen, having passed through the 
 fires of an old world, is once more coming into 
 prominence; and memories of things eternal, 
 but in expression gone by, are flashing brilliant 
 scintillations into the world of the American 
 people. Multitudes are seeking to lay hold of 
 the fitful light. Men are not content with a life 
 of motion merely, but yearn for the rapid vi- 
 l)rations. They want the celestial impetuosity 
 of the gods. They intend to scale the heavens! 
 But it is known that regeneration is necessary, 
 and its science is desperately sought. Usually 
 it is attempted to thwart the external law and 
 cheat both earth and heaven, by denying and 
 deadening the outer expression of Self in body 
 and personality. This proves but the inevi- 
 table preparatory for entrance into the lofty 
 halls of the archaic Science of Regeneration. 
 
 This science deals with the outer as the 
 material whereof the inner is finished, and in- 
 structs in the laws of building without hands. 
 The students learn that body and personality 
 
are not to be laid aside but to come into full and 
 godly possession ! The body is to be rarified 
 of its density, and the personality made a true 
 expression of its individuality. To be an in- 
 dividual without personality is the same as to 
 have an existence without Being. It is the 
 dire calamity of souls in Hades. 
 
 The rarification is done by transmutation. 
 Transmutation is that process by which the 
 natural motion of the life-essence of any given 
 body is checked in its outward tendency, 
 turned inward and utilized. The effect of it 
 is that the body concerned is rejuvenated in- 
 stead of wasted. In the process of time it loses 
 its density, as the result of the wasting of 
 non-essentials. Such a body then becomes 
 an obedient instrument, and through it the 
 light of the soul shines clearly forth. The man 
 is translated into Godhood and the finite be- 
 comes Infinite. The body becomes soul; per- 
 sonality, the glorious expression of individ- 
 uality; and the stirring vibrations of endless 
 life pulsate through the godly Being! 
 
 The mysteries of Aphrodite is the science 
 of regeneration ; and transmutation is accom- 
 plished through that powerful agency named 
 Love. As Love is the transmuting power, it is 
 necessary to know Love. The present work 
 introduces the Wanderer into Her holy pres- 
 
ence. May he find vvliat he seeks ! May his 
 wings grow strong! 
 
 Love is not self-contrc 1, and the word is 
 not used in this work in such a sjnse. Men 
 have practiced self-control for ages and found 
 it but a preparation for the sacred festival. 
 Love is celestial, destitute of control, in the 
 reckless abandonment of souls. 
 
 The arran,£;ement of paragraphs and con- 
 tents of each, is left to chance, and this may 
 prove the one obscurity of the work. How- 
 ever, one paragraph is complemented and ex- 
 plained by others. 
 
 In speaking of things celestial, one is apt 
 to use strange terminology and still maintain 
 that such is the most con:istent. As the es- 
 sence of the Universe is God, of belief truth, 
 of Man spirit — so is the essence of language its 
 meaning; and the external is apt to reflect the 
 internal. Johax Wasiiuus. 
 
THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 HE earth is a globe badly made," 
 says Flammarion when he finds 
 that a man on Neptune, forty years 
 old, was born two thousand years 
 before the building of the pyramids. This 
 means that he enjoys a life of about one hun- 
 dred and sixty-five years to the earthly man's 
 life of one year, or six thousand and six hun- 
 dred years to forty. It is true that the earth is 
 a sphere of intense rapidity, of impetuous mo- 
 tion and rigid measures ! a testing place and a 
 chamber of ordeal, perilous and final ! 
 
 As a whole the globe symbolizes this cham- 
 ber or womb, out of which all things come 
 forth organized, and into which they again dis- 
 appear glorified. This coming and disappear- 
 ing is the universal operation of sex law. The 
 sex law is also symbolized particularly in the 
 shape and condition of the different parts of 
 the globe. Thus it now appears, as it will even 
 more clearly after we have deduced the 
 great harmony from the particulars, that the 
 earth is not so badly made, after all, but is a 
 
12 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 perfect expression of the one great Law — that 
 of Sex. 
 
 From flies to planets there is but this one 
 mode of manifestation. When the Word was 
 spoken into the Abyss it took effect according 
 to this same law. The entire Universe was 
 brought forth and is maintained through this 
 mode and method. The mode and method of 
 primal creation continues and will continue, 
 and having observed this we name it the law of 
 generation. 
 
 Nothing is more perfect than that which 
 is; and that which is expresses its perfec- 
 tion through the law of generation. The earth 
 is not only expressed through this law but is, 
 itself, a perfect image of this law in operation. 
 It is a perfect dual unit within the great Uni- 
 versal Unit called the World. 
 
 The great harmony consists of the beautiful 
 interplay ing of the two forces, masculine and 
 feminine. As far as the earth is concerned, it 
 seems that the interplaying is perfect, in-a.s- 
 much as it is balanced in its course, and ap- 
 pears at regular intervals in Summer or Win- 
 ter garb. How well do the centripetal and 
 centrifugal forces interact, keeping the globe in 
 her rightful course and condition! 
 
 As long as these do interplay well, this 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I3 
 
 dual entity, the earth, will remain a whole in 
 harmonious condition and will not swerve out 
 of its course. So with man and woman. They 
 constitute one dual entity, and as long as the 
 two forces interact divinely, so long- will the^ 
 remain divine in harmony and unswerving 
 wholeness. But as soon as one of them pre- 
 dominates or wanes, there will ensue either a 
 furious conflag-ration in passionate sensuality, 
 or an actual disintegration of the entity — even a 
 solution into physical death !

 o return to the earth on which we 
 move and of which we have a part 
 — by the shape and relative posi- 
 tion of continents shall we know 
 the destinies of nations and empires ! The West- 
 ern hemisphere has the most perfect shape, and 
 its different parts have occupied the most for- 
 tunate positions to each other, of all countries, 
 for millions of years. It will be noticed by con- 
 sulting maps of the world at different periods, 
 that the triangular shaped continent is always 
 tapering southward. This is the case all around 
 the globe at the present day, but more especially 
 so with the American portion of it. This part 
 
14 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 is nearly perfect. And it is but reasonable to 
 infer that perfection appears uniformly 
 throughout the Universe — thus perfections in 
 continents follow the perfections in mankind, 
 and, on a lower scale, vice versa. 
 
 When a perfect nation shall appear upon 
 earth, a perfect continent in shape, position and 
 condition shall be found prepared for it. Per- 
 fection consists in the most beautiful harmony 
 zvith the law of creation. This law is not that 
 of generation only, but of regeneration as well ; 
 a harmonious interplaying of the two creative 
 forces. 
 
 It will be found that the different parts of 
 the Western hemisphere are so situated as to 
 make such a harmonious interplay readily prac- 
 ticable. Herein lies the greatness of the Amer- 
 ica to come. It is not perfect, nor will it be, but 
 it approaches perfection, and there are im- 
 mense future possibilities !

 HE North pole is of a masculine na- 
 ture, while that of the South is 
 feminine. A continuous inter- 
 course is forever taking place be- 
 tween these two centres. By this interaction, 
 the forces are utilized into life abundant, which 
 springs forth in all manner of manifestation. 
 From the Northern pole is projected a triangu- 
 lar continent. Relative to the pole this triangle 
 is feminine and receives all the energetic vigor 
 of that Northern centre — while, at the same 
 time, like a benediction and anointment out of 
 an overflowing vessel, it bathes the projector in 
 its feminine balm. But this continent is not 
 only feminine; it is also, in respect to South 
 America, masculine. It is not only the femi- 
 nine triangle, but also the masculine triad. As 
 this latter, it projects the masculine energy into 
 the Southern continent v/hich, relative to it, is 
 feminine in both shape, position and condition. 
 This same Southern triangle is also, relative to 
 the South pole, a masculine triad. 
 
 As the Northern triangle anoints the 
 Northern centre with its femininity, so does 
 the Southern triangle, in turn, anoint the 
 Northern triad as out of a "horn of plenty'' — 
 while it again, as a triad, is bathed in the femi-

 ninity of the Southern centre into which it is 
 pouring its masculinity.

 gentleness 
 
 ^ 4* ^ 
 
 T present, in this grand republic of 
 ours, there is an abundance of cold, 
 rugged grandeur in its masculine 
 activity — an impetuosity that must, 
 if not tempered by the soothing 
 of the South, revert in madness 
 upon its own centre and go to destruction in 
 conflagration. This is one way of the 
 world's end. 
 
 In the Southern portion of this hemisphere 
 there is at present such a degree of torpid, indo- 
 lent stillness, that if not stirred by the crackling 
 brand of activity from the North, it must 
 inevitably relapse in faintness upon its own 
 watery centre and find its end and disintegra- 
 tion in a deluge. This is the other way of the 
 world's end ; and the theologians and physicists 
 need wrangle no longer about it — they are all 
 partly right, though mostly wrong! 
 
 Evidently, however, neither of these calam- 
 ities are to happen. The relative position of 
 continents and conditicm of nations on this 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 17 
 
 Western hemisphere, are such as to prophesy 
 the evolution of a wonderful race of men and 
 women, as well as a civilization heretofore not 
 attained — while all cataclysms of importance 
 will occur on the Eastern hemisphere, as a 
 natural consequence of its conditions and struc- 
 ture. 
 
 Already the vigor of the North is pouring 
 into Mexico, which is the southern of the three 
 angles; while it in turn pours over the North 
 the gentleness from its feminine cornucopia. 
 Through it the continent of South America will 
 be affected in the same way, and will also 
 affect. 
 
 Some day there will be a thunderous cry 
 for the integrity of America instead of the les- 
 ser one of integrity of the Union, which was 
 but a precursor to the coming. Then again 
 will gods be walking upon the earth ; such men 
 and women as will know how to utilize their 
 forces, not only as well as the earth does, but 
 infinitely better ! Then will the true scientific re- 
 ligion come into higher vogue than ever. Of this 
 religion, always uppermost at the high tide of 
 civilizations, as well as at the tribal infancy 
 where it lingers as memories of former great- 
 ness, we have remnants scattered over the entire 
 globe, as well as vague recollections among 
 
l8 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 every people. It is called the Phallic religion. 
 It is the worship of man's own godliness which 
 is, indeed, the only godliness he is concerned 
 with. To woman, man is her only god and sa- 
 viour ; to man, woman is his only godhood and 
 redeemer. 
 
 The specific organs through which their 
 godliness is exercised and proven, have at such 
 times, and more or less to-day, been revered and 
 worshipped. We will look a little closer into 
 this worship, and do so with reverence. 
 
 There have been times on earth when men 
 and women worshipped each other and thus 
 consecrated all believers ; but, alas ! as the cycle 
 of retrogression set in, this grandeur became 
 too dazzling to closing eyes, and the gods and 
 goddesses were veiled in symbols. These sym- 
 bols nearly always represented the generative 
 organs which are also the regenerative ones. 
 A peep into this symbolism will be instructive.

 HE primaeval faith of mankind was 
 unmixed. From records of the 
 eadiest man, we may safely infer 
 that it was Sun or Sex worship. 
 According to these, Sun worship characterized 
 all the earlier pagan races, and the most salient 
 point in this religion was that of asceticism. 
 This asceticism was the expression of its un- 
 mixed purity. The two dominant forces which 
 have ever ruled humanity are man's spiritual 
 nature and his sex nature. 
 
 The first principle of earthly existence, 
 whether in animal or Man, is the desire to pro- 
 duce and reproduce life. It is a sacred desire, 
 and a paramount principle as grand as the birth 
 of suns or the foundation of worlds. In the 
 aggregate of the universe the creative function- 
 ing is the highest and most wonderful with 
 which the human mind can invest Deity. And 
 in the beginning of earthly existence it was 
 thus considered. 
 
 In the remote ages when sex worship was 
 incorporated into a religious ritual, the best 
 and highest thoughts clustered around the sub- 
 ject of generation, elevating it to the pinnacle 
 of holiness. Physical generation was consid- 
 ered the gateway whereby the soul entered 
 upon its royal path of progression. Through 
 
20 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 this pathway of Love it was fitted for its celes- 
 tial destiny — its re-entrance into its heavenly 
 state. But in the process of time, as all sacred 
 ideals are apt to be transformed into material 
 expressions, the law of generation came to be 
 regarded as a physical enjoyment. Stimulated 
 by the excessive sensual nature of man, sex 
 worship was dethroned from its pinnacle of 
 Holiness — Wholeness. Hence through the 
 wisdom of the philosophical priesthood the sa- 
 cred truths were veiled. 
 
 Amongst these emblems of Sex or Sun wor- 
 ship, most generally seen and constantly com- 
 bined with monumental antiquity, are the 
 Phallus or Lingham, the triangle, the serpent 
 with its tail in its mouth, and a vast number 
 of geometrical figures, including the cross, 
 square, and circle. 
 
 4* 4* 4* 
 
 HE Bible, from beginning to end, 
 teaches both Sun and Sex worship. 
 These two religions are so inter- 
 blended that it is impossible to 
 separate them or give them a distinct definition. 
 Jesus, the Christ, so entangled His teachings 
 with those of the earlier Sun-gods — Apollo. 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 21 
 
 Osiris and others — that even his birth has be- 
 come confused with the day of the Sun's re- 
 birth; further he suffered himself to be cruci- 
 fied upon the cross which, ages before, was 
 held in reverence all over the world as a sex 
 symbol. 
 
 Sculptured over the temples of the orient is 
 the cross in its many forms, and it signifies 
 the generative power. It was originally repre- 
 sented as a trinity, and for this reason a sacred- 
 ness was attributed to the number three. Ev- 
 ery cross has its soul-ar — Sun-center. Every 
 man who permits himself to be crucified 
 becomes a Sun-Christ — veiled in human form. 
 The soul thus reflecting its own radiance, is a 
 Sun and mirror for the Divine glory of the 
 redeemed man. When the soul returns to its 
 center of Love, it regains its memory concern- 
 ing its Divine Source and is lifted into com- 
 plete consciousness of its own absoluteness. 
 
 The ancients recognized the Sun as the 
 Giver of Life, and the center of the Universes- 
 even the most savage gave vent to their religious 
 joy in dancing, singing of psalms, and offering 
 of sacrifice to the Giver. The nature and mean- 
 ing of these religious rites w^ere well known 
 to the old Britons ; and the rites of the Druids 
 were an interblending of the Sun and Sex wor- 
 
22 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 ship. There are now to be found in Great Brit- 
 ain piles of stone formed in circles, with oth- 
 ers horizontally laid across them, all of which 
 are remnants of the Druid Sun worship. The 
 upright pillars are the Plalli, and the horizon- 
 tal slabs are Yonic, while both together form 
 the mystical gate of Tau. 
 
 The cross is found everywhere in the Uni- 
 verse from the letter T of the alphabet to the 
 southern cross in the sky! The hammer of 
 Thor with its flashes of lightning, is a mascu- 
 line symbol; but the femininity of this same 
 emblem is indicated by the Mayas of Yucatan 
 when they send their supplication for rain 
 and other feminine blessings, ta that starry 
 cross above them. No matter the variableness 
 in which it may be found, it signifies the fer- 
 tility, fecundity and creative constructiveness 
 of the sex principle.

 HE female organ was symbolized 
 by a circle or any object that im- 
 plied receptivity or fruitfulness. 
 The union of this unit with the 
 male triad was designated by the sacred and 
 mystical number four. This was the original 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 23 
 
 form of the eight sided cross of the Hebrews, 
 and it was upon this cross that Jesus was cru- 
 cified, the point of crucifixion piercing the 
 Heart — His Love-nature. So it is ever in man's 
 Hfe — the point of crucifixion pierces the most 
 vulnerable, as well as the most vital, part of his 
 being. 
 
 Another figure of feminine virginity is an 
 elongated circle with cross-bars, secured in 
 such a manner that they cannot be removed. 
 It indicates that the door is closed. The poet 
 had reference to this symbol when he sang: 
 
 "A garden inclosed is my spouse, a spring 
 shut up, a fountain sealed." 
 
 Not even a Divine Master can enter the 
 door of the cavern leading to the Mount of 
 Zion, save as his Holy Mistress removes the 
 bars from the entrance. 
 
 The Ark of the Covenant was a symbol of 
 the preservation of the germ of Life or that 
 which was most sacred and precious. The ark 
 containing Aaron's rod — a masculine symbol, 
 the Cup of Manna — a feminine symbol, and 
 the two tables of the Law — masculine and 
 feminine — was borne in triumph to Jerusalem 
 while singing and dancing lifted the hearts 
 in joy. 
 
14 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 To dance is the same as to impregnate, re- 
 deem, elevate ! It is the rythm of the harmo- 
 nious action in dancing that crucifies the un- 
 regenerate or inharmonious element. As the 
 rotation of the planets and constellations around 
 the sun is the true dance so is it performed 
 by men and women in a circle around a center 
 occupied by one of either sex; the circle itself 
 being Yonic, the center Phallic. 
 
 4* ^ ^ 
 
 N the ritualistic church to-day the 
 Ark still survives together with 
 the Seraphim and Cherubim — 
 male and female figures — on either 
 side of it ; but the sacred Flame which was wont 
 to burn between them is quenched in the waters 
 of generation. 
 
 All the fantastic ornateness of the eccle- 
 siastical church of the present time is simply 
 imitations and remnants of a long- forgotten 
 Hturgy. The robes and vestments worn by 
 the priests are but the memory of antiquity. 
 They were retained, after a distinct dress was 
 adopted by man and woman, to indicate that 
 the Deity is both male and female. The very 
 steeples that crown the temples of God are sug- 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 25 
 
 gestive of the reverence accorded the ''Divine 
 Lingham/' while the ship, or the structure it- 
 self, is feminine. 
 
 The Eucharist, giving and receiving of the 
 bread and wine, is the holiest and most divine 
 ritual ever presented to the people. Few real- 
 ize the meaning of this sacred feast. Before it 
 can be partaken of there must be an awakening 
 of consciousness, an uplifting of the soul — a 
 singing of psalms ! Then the Lord's prayer — 
 sanctification of the soul! Then comes the 
 feast — giving of the Life essence to the Be- 
 loved ! The male gives unto the female his 
 blood, a drink that will quench her thirst for 
 worldly things. She gives unto the Beloved 
 her body, bread which sustains life! Without 
 this feeding, not only Man and Woman but the 
 entire Universe would crumble into dust. 
 
 Christ said, 'Take eat of my body, drink of 
 my blood." The Wine thus offered by Jesus 
 signifies the life-essence of Man; the wafer is 
 the bread of life with which the Woman feeds 
 the multitudes. The whole Eucharist signifies 
 the perfect marriage. With such perfect inter- 
 change the redemptive life is begun. Man sat- 
 isfies the thirst of his Beloved, and she fills his 
 soul with a divine food known only to the gods. 
 Solar or Sex worship was born from Man's 
 
26 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 highest and deepest consciousness of the Divine 
 plan, and it evolved into an almost perfect sci- 
 ence. A perfect science is the only perfectly 
 true religion. It is a course of instruction in 
 which Man may learn the correspondence be- 
 tween himself and God, the seen and the un- 
 seen. It is a science as exact as that of mathe- 
 matics and so vital that it not only gives prom- 
 ise but a full assurance of Man's resurrection. 
 These old truths have never died. They have il- 
 lumined the ages, and at various periods shone 
 forth in the teachings of a master who had 
 found his own redeemer in the form of Woman. 
 These flashes of light are beginning to il- 
 lumine more brightly the present day. 
 
 4* 4' 4* 
 
 T has been hinted that there was a 
 time in this world when men and 
 women worshipped each other. The 
 basis for such worship lies in man's 
 divinity. He is divine essentially, and divine 
 he is in the high degree of self-consciousness to 
 which he has attained ! But when his self-con- 
 sciousness is perfect then is he a Divinity. 
 
 This perfect self-consciousness is to be de- 
 veloped in but one way : the union of Man and 
 
A SONG OF IMMOI'TAL LIFE 27 
 
 Woman. The man is that which completes the 
 Woman ; the Woman that which completes the 
 Man. Therefore, there is to Man no higher 
 Deity than Woman, nor to Woman a higher one 
 than Man. Therefore, also, do they worship 
 each other and attain to perfect self -conscious- 
 ness — Godhood. In such a state Man is a god. 
 As the Sohar says : The name Man can be ap- 
 plied only to the completed one — which is male 
 and female. Such a one is Infinite ! He is won- 
 derful and glorious ! All hail the glory of the 
 one, King of the Morning, Lord of the Night ! 
 
 Art thou Man according to the Sohar's defi- 
 nition? or art thou yet unbalanced? Know 
 that there is but one manner of becoming whole : 
 unite with the lost one! Worship before 
 that One I It is thy Divinity ! Art thou male 
 — She is thy Redeemer ; art female — He is the 
 One for thy glorification! Bow before the 
 shrine of thy Divinity that thou mayst become 
 Divine ! 
 
 Thus men and women worshipped of old; 
 thus a few worship now ; and thus will the many 
 worship again ! Thus did they become gods and 
 goddesses ! — thus also did they become demi- 
 gods when they so preferred. 
 
 Wouldst know the distinction between gods 
 and demi-gods ? Listen and ponder with thy in- 
 
28 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 ward ear and heart : A divorce took place ; and 
 separated, ye entered the sphere of differentia- 
 tion. In this sphere that which was divided 
 seeks forever to be united; the male restlessly 
 seeking the female, his redeemer. The female, 
 peaceless, is blindly seeking- her glorifier; until 
 a memory dawns upon their horizon, and they 
 bow down and worship. They worship and sac- 
 rifice — they offer their treasures at each other's 
 shrine which is that of Love, until the redeemer 
 or glorifier, as the case may be, overshadows the 
 supplicant with grace. Then have they again 
 found each other, and united are they whole — 
 Divine — then do the two constitute a Godhood ; 
 she in him glorified, he in her redeemed. Such 
 a being is Infinite! 
 
 4' 4^ 4* 
 
 HE demi-god is not a redeemed one, 
 but one having worshipped at the 
 altar of femininity without finding 
 or uniting himself to His Own. 
 He is yet a man — and a demi-god. One is al- 
 ways first male or female; then demi-god or 
 demi-goddess ; then comes perfect Godhood! 
 One may remain a demi-god if one so desires. 
 In such a state he is the master of all worldly 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 29 
 
 treasures and a near companion of the celes- 
 tials ! 
 
 Whoever seeks the exalted state let him wor- 
 ship ! Let him worship even the symbols as men 
 do in the present age ! He shall some day find 
 himself nearer to his Wholeness — Holiness. 
 
 Art thou a woman, ah, then bow thy gentle 
 head in reverence and expectation to the one 
 who shall come with his vigor and make thee 
 whole. Worship before his strength that it 
 may be thine! To thee he is all the Divinity 
 there is ! Offend him not with trifling ; dis- 
 tance him not with petty desires — but invoke 
 him unto thy heart with thy intensest yearning ! 
 Unite with him for Life Eternal and for God- 
 hood ; not for momentary satisfaction ! 
 
 Art thou a man, ah, then pray that thou 
 mayst behold thy Divinity in the one thou seek- 
 est ! She is essentially divine, and Purity Her- 
 self ; pray that thine eyes may behold her rav- 
 ishing beauty in the light of everlasting joy! 
 Tame thine animals as Perseus mastered the 
 Medusa, or as Hermes lulled the Argus-eyed to 
 sleep. Thy Divinity desires only thee — she 
 spurns all thy beasts ! Bow down before her 
 altar and worship. Worship while Helios rises 
 glorious in the East ! Thou shouldst have wor- 
 shipped while his chariot sped in mid-heaven; 
 
30 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 thou wilt woiship ere the glimmering West 
 hides him from view — Watch and pray forever 
 before her Holy Shrine. What is Woman's 
 Holy Shrine ? It is her love-nature — and that " 
 is her very self ! Materialized, it is represented 
 by the symbols of the triangle, the circle, the 
 oval. For the time is not now, but near, when 
 symbols shall be replaced by realities — when 
 Woman shall be exalted into her rightful state 
 as man's Divinity, when she shall recover her 
 lost heritage forever ! Her meaning and worth 
 need not much longer be darkly veiled in sym- 
 bols, for the era of awakening of sleepy eyes is 
 dawning! Man will worship her for what she 
 is, and she shall again bless him with the celes- 
 tial beneficence that flows to him out of that 
 part of her nature which is symbolized by the 
 circle. Under her benedictions shall he grow 
 into Wholeness. What is a Woman's benedic- 
 tion? It is symbolized by her left hand raised 
 and thumb meeting fore finger forming an oval ; 
 the felicity and feminine love fill thy heart ! It 
 is thy life! — Sink into her warm sea of sancti- 
 fied desire; when emerging thou wilt feel the 
 thrills of dominion ! And eventually thou shalt 
 know thyself a god. 
 
 Sanctified Desire? Aye! Sink into no 
 other sea. 
 
A SONG OF IMMOrXAL LIFE 3I 
 
 Woman, thou who art forever seeking thy 
 Divinity with so much fervor ; custom and usage 
 is against thy search. How often wouldst thou 
 not adore at the sacred shrine of thy lordly 
 lover! But thy day is dawning! Meanwhile 
 thou knowest his symbols — the triad, the up- 
 right, and others. 
 
 Under the benediction of his strength 
 thou wilt grow into the lily-like goddess of the 
 Spheres of Joy. His blessing is symbolized by 
 his lifted right hand, three fingers raised; be 
 thou filled with the thrills of his masculine po- 
 tency! It is thy life, and it vivifies unto Life 
 Everlasting! Sanctify thy desire by hymns and 
 prayers before the shrine of thy Lord, and he 
 will ever bless thee. The word "bless" means 
 to widen, open up, fertilize. Jephtah is the 
 opener, the Sun, the lord, thy Lover. Wor- 
 ship Him and He shall fructify thee, and thou 
 shalt bear unto Him and unto thyself the Child 
 of Everlasting Joy which is Eternal Life and 
 Omnipotent Absoluteness ! 
 
 Therefore it is said : The Life-Giving opens 
 out for Jephtah; He dwells in the tents of 
 heaven. 
 
32 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 T is not a frequent occurrence in the 
 history of this world, though ex- 
 tending through milHons of years, 
 nor is the fact generally known 
 that mankind attain to such a height of godly 
 purity of spirit, soul, and body, that man and 
 woman worship each other. The contrary is, 
 alas, the better known and the more frequently 
 done! In animal passion they rush idiotically 
 together, and, taking lust for love, they dis- 
 satisfy, and then loathe each other. 
 
 But, of course, these are the drastic meas- 
 ures of this sphere, agreed and submitted to by 
 souls who want to live, learn, know, be. There 
 is a lesson in every blind rush, and the day will 
 dawn when the truth shall be known to all. 
 Meanwhile they have the remnants of the godly 
 ages yet among them, either as symbolical rep- 
 resentations of particular human functions, 
 ceremonies representing these functions, or 
 images of the gods themselves, representing the 
 outcome. 
 
 A consideration of the Greek God, Hermes, 
 may prove most enlightening. His Egyptian 
 progenitor, Thoth, is the God of the Divine Sci- 
 ence, and so is Hermes. Wisdom is bestowed 
 by him upon whomsoever seeks his favor. He 
 can bestow this as it is his ; it is his as he has 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 33 
 
 won it in rightful battle while yet a "child" — 
 that is, while he was a child of this sphere. So 
 have all gods been. So are we, and our destiny 
 is Godhood. We shall win it as they did, as 
 Hermes won it. While he was a child of earth 
 he was shrewd and crafty, as it is necessary to 
 be, and he "stole" the cattle of Apollo. Cattle 
 means riches. Apollo is the rich fertilizer, the 
 Sun. Hermes took possession of this richness 
 and used it. That is, he mastered a rich ferti- 
 lizing power that Howed within himself; and so 
 he was brought before Zeus, the Most High, to 
 account for his doings. The mastering was 
 made through love, as we shall see more clearly 
 when we come to consider him as a symbol. 
 
 He had mastered his sex nature and found in 
 it the nectar of the gods. So, when he was con- 
 fronted with Zeus he was not at all at a loss, 
 but entertained him delightfully with the 
 music that welled up from his heart. It was the 
 celestial music of the Great Harmony. When 
 Man and Woman have become harmonized 
 through recognizing each other as their own 
 Divinity, they will find themselves in delightful 
 accord with the Great Harmony, listen to its 
 ravishing strains, and feel its stirring vibra- 
 tions in their own heart. Entranced they shall 
 sit at the entrance to their court, resting in its 
 
34 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 dulcet buoyancy. Zeus, the Most High, shall 
 know them as his equals and recognize them 
 as gods. 
 
 Such beings as Hermes are born of Zeus 
 and Maia, of Reality and Illusion, of the High 
 and the Low, of Loftiness and Strength. For 
 Loftiness is of heaven, but Strength is of earth. 
 
 * * * 
 
 ERMES '"stole" his father's scepter. 
 This stealing w^as quite natural 
 after having come into possession 
 of Apollo's cattle. Man's sexual 
 strength is referred to as Apollo's cattle, be- 
 cause it is Divine. Having learned his strength 
 and come into possession of it, he shall also 
 learn its use. He shall rule as the gods ruled ! 
 All conditions, be they high or low, spiritual or 
 material, shall be subservient to him. He holds 
 the scepter in his right hand. That is, he has 
 full command of himself, and therefore of all 
 else. His dominion is infinite. 
 
 Of course, he ''stole" Aphrodite's girdle, 
 too — as every man must ! Without it he could 
 not come into possession of his own strength, 
 because — it is found only on the other side of 
 the girdle. 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 35 
 
 In Aphrodite's girdle is held the beneficence 
 of woman. Woman is the goddess whose girdle 
 man must "steal" ere he can "steal" anything 
 else. This beneficence or benediction issues 
 from Woman's love-nature, and, as before 
 stated, is symbolized by the circle, girdle. This 
 "girdle" is also the garder, which afterward be- 
 came so well known as garter. Only kings can 
 "pick it up," and only ladies of high rank can 
 "lose it." 
 
 Hermes was, indeed, king, and Aphrodite 
 anointed and crowned him ; she loved him into 
 consciousness of his kingship. And, of 
 course, he stole Ares' sword also. Zeus' scep- 
 tre indicates, especially, dominion above; and 
 the sword of Ares dominion below. As the 
 possessor of Ares' sword, Hermes is "the first 
 cause of all wealth, come whence it may." 
 
 AN, "seek ye first the kingdom ol 
 heaven, and all things shall be added 
 unto you." That is, "steal" first 
 the girdle of Aphrodite, and all 
 material wealth is at your feet — and you, your- 
 self, are the cause of it. Demand it while in 
 the mystic union with Aphrodite, and it will be 
 
36 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 found by you as if you had created it — and so 
 you have! Then wealth will constitute the 
 "mysterious third" which always attends a 
 marriage. Or, demand in love, the springing 
 forth of your own Godhood into visible form, 
 and, as the mysterious third, it will surely spring 
 forth to your own godly delight ! You shall 
 indeed find whatsoever you seek — it is so de- 
 creed since the foundation of the world. 
 
 Thus is Hermes the god of commerce, trade, 
 prudence, shrewdness and even cunning. He is 
 the protector of thieves, because he is himself 
 a thief; he stole from the gods their secret of 
 being gods. 
 
 Hermes found in the embrace of Aphrodite 
 that which made him whole. Aphrodite is to be 
 found only in the Woman you love. In her 
 embrace shall you find that which completes 
 you. It is, as has been said, her very self. 
 When you have attained this celestial complete- 
 ness, you are perfectly balanced in Libra, as 
 Aphrodite was sometimes called. Then all 
 manner of speech shall be yours, even as were 
 you living in a continual feast of Pentecost. 
 Therefore is Hermes also the god of oratory and 
 oracles. Therefore, also, is he the messenger of 
 the gods and the comforter of men. Ever>' one 
 claiming either of these offices must be a Her- 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 37 
 
 mes, and only in as much as he is Hermes can 
 he do justice to his office. Such a one instructs 
 by the spoken thought, and he is, himself, a 
 living symbol of thought. His name is 
 Thought, or Thoth. He fulfills his office as 
 prophet, teacher, instructor, only in the degree 
 he is a Thinker. He is a Thinker in the degree 
 he is Thoth or Hermes. He is Thoth or Her- 
 mes in the degree he is balanced, that is, andro- 
 gyne. In the same degree he is androgyne is he 
 whole. In the degree he is whole is he power- 
 ful ; to the degree of his power can he execute 
 the duties of his office. 
 
 ^* '^ '^ 
 
 AN is a Thinker in the degree he is 
 whole, androgyne. As he is andro- 
 gyne his thoughts are so — they are 
 whole, wholesome. As they are 
 androgyne, wholesome, so are they powerful 
 and effective. There is naught in this world 
 that is powerful and effective in accomplish- 
 ment without being androg^me. The very God- 
 hood of the gods depends upon their being an- 
 drogyne ! A thought could not be conveyed in 
 any manner were it not androgyne, much less 
 take effect! — Nay, it could not even be con- 
 
38 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 ceived, thought, or brought forth in any way. 
 The effectiveness of thought depends upon its 
 wholesomeness , its wholesomeness upon its 
 partaking of both a male and a female nature. 
 Then, indeed, does it become irresistible as a 
 thing of intrinsic value and perpetual velocity. 
 Therefore — the thought conceived while in sex- 
 ual conjunction becomes an overvvhelming 
 thing in executive capability. 
 
 Hermes symbolizes such a Thought. He 
 never fails to accomplish what he wills to ac- 
 complish. As such he is a symbol for those 
 more or less like himself. But he also symbol- 
 izes thought as that fitful thing that now and 
 then dawns on the mind of the majority of men 
 — like unto one throwing brilliant sparks into 
 dark places. 
 
 As such, it is said of him : 
 
 "Foot-feathered Mercury appear'd sublime 
 Beyond the tall tree-tops; and in less time 
 Than shoots the slanted hail-storm, down he 
 
 dropt 
 Toward the ground; but rested not, nor stopt 
 One moment from his home; only the sward 
 He with his wand lightly touch'd, and heaven- 
 ward 
 Swifter than light was gone.'* 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 39 
 
 In becoming balanced, that is, no more a 
 male than a female, but a beautiful harmony — 
 Hermes' form assumed the proportions of a 
 symmetry, and his movements the grace, sub- 
 tlety, and beauty of a symphony; he is indeed a 
 model for every aspiring youth, be he practicing 
 in the palseistra of physical dexterity, or in the 
 universal one for godly mastery.

 ERMES guides departing souls and 
 liberates chained ones. He is in 
 possession of all wisdom and sci- 
 ence. Having himself, in acquiring 
 this, traversed all roads, he may well guide 
 others. Having himself attained divine liberty 
 he may well liberate others. This he does by 
 infusing into their minds sparks of his wisdom, 
 and by teaching the sciences that he practices. 
 In the abstract he is Thought or Thoth. 
 Man, think! Ponder, and Thoth will teach 
 you ! He will show you the way of self-mas- 
 tery in your intercourse with your Beloved. 
 You will learn to turn the flowing bodily es- 
 sences into a river of the Water of Life ! You 
 will drink thereof and hear the celestial music 
 in your own court. Then you will lull the 
 
40 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 Argus-eyed monster into an Eternal Sleep — 
 then are you become Hermes, the Argus-Slayer. 
 For the name of your panting soul is 10 ; and 
 the nature of the monster is lust and imbecility. 
 
 In another sense lO is Woman, as Woman 
 is Soul, as Man is Spirit. In this sense, Man 
 must liberate Woman before she can become 
 his redeemer. Until you do that you will prove 
 but a falsity to her, a seducer. And no seducer 
 shall inherit the kingdom of God. 
 
 To first master self, that is, to take firm 
 possession of animals and cattle, to convert them 
 into riches — is an absolute necessity. When 
 you have done this, then are you Hermes or 
 what is later called a Good Knight. Then will 
 you ride through many lands, a true Knight 
 Errant, punishing the evil doers_. liberating the 
 oppressed and ill-treated Ladies of the Province. 
 The "evil doers" are the bad Knights who look 
 almost like yourself in armor and bearing, but 
 who, with their lust and imbecility, oppress all 
 Ladies. And every Lady of High Rank will 
 welcome a true Knight Errant; she will redeem 
 him as he liberates or glorifies her!

SONG OF I M M :. T A L LIFE 4I 
 
 ERMES is represented as a youth of 
 beautiful proportions, and his at- 
 tributes are the wing-ed shoes, the 
 petasus, and the caduceus. The pe- 
 tasus is a winged head-gear in the shape of the 
 oval female symbol. This indicates that as 
 Man elevates Woman and worships before her 
 altar he gains his wings. The petasus covers, 
 protects his head which is his highest, most ele- 
 vated part. Thus protected by the emblem of 
 female love the hard and dry intellectuality of 
 the male will not play havoc with his strength, 
 nor sap the juices of life or wither the stem. 
 United thus with his Love, man is the bewinged 
 as was Hermes. 
 
 In his right hand he holds the caduceus, an 
 upright, or staff, entwined by two serpents in 
 the creative act. The staff between them sym- 
 bolizes Hermes' own sexual strength, while 
 the serpents symbolize Desire. The upright is 
 moreover winged — the whole caduceus repre- 
 senting the male in continuous and vital activity 
 with the female. Thus he holds the key to his 
 entire being in his right hand. He is perfectly 
 balanced, bi-une, two in one. 
 
 About this bi-unity more will still be said 
 in the following. 
 
42 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 HE Origin of Sex is in thFvery na- 
 ture of Deity. God creates and 
 brings forth only that which is in 
 the Godhood, wherefore in the be- 
 ginning He brought forth both the male and the 
 female elements. The primal manifestation of 
 these two elements was One — the first Adam. 
 Thus in accordance with the Law of Oneness 
 were they two in one; Man and Woman — 
 bi-une. 
 
 "So God created Man in His own image, in 
 the image of God created He Him, male and 
 female created He the7n, and God blessed 
 them/' In the first two chapters of Genesis 
 there is no mention made of Woman or the fe- 
 male principle until near the close of the second. 
 We are not told that God blessed Man or 
 Woman but that He blessed 'Them" — the 
 Bi-une. 
 
 The interior nature, or the soul of Man, re- 
 mains bi-une as the first Adam. Though in ex- 
 terior nature the soul assumes "Twoness" or 
 duality of expression, it is still the incarnation 
 of the One Glorious God — two in one! The 
 duality of expression is brought forth by the 
 Father-Mother principles and we know of it as 
 sex. Sex activity runs through all manifested 
 life, and without it nothing was, is or will be. 
 
A SONG OF IM]S:ORTAL LIFE 43 
 
 This duality of the one principle may be 
 observed not only in Man and Woman, but in 
 the most minute detail of each one's organ- 
 ism, also in the animal, vegetable and mineral 
 kingdoms, that live and move as God's beau- 
 tiful nature all about us. For example, we 
 find that the duality of the body commences 
 with the brain, continuing to the feet. The 
 head represents the active, and the feet the pas- 
 sive principles, forming the rock of under- 
 standing. This symbolizes the indissoluble 
 union of the two, and the link between spiritual 
 and physical conditions. The Revelator repre- 
 sents this by an angel standing with one foot 
 on the sea, the other on the land. 
 
 ^« ^9 ^9 
 
 wo IN one! sounds the key-note to 
 the harmony of the constitution 
 of Man. For one thought-habita- 
 tion there are two lobes of the 
 brain, for one sight there are two eyes, 
 for one sound there are two ears, for 
 one smell there are two nostrils, for one work 
 two hands, for one word two lips, for one breath 
 two lungs. The breath has two manners of 
 expression, inspiration and expiration. The 
 
44 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 heart,, the great motor of the Living Temple, 
 has two chambers for the continued circulation 
 of the blood. Speech, even, has its two quali- 
 ties of tone and articulation — tone being femi- 
 nine, articulation masculine. Language is du- 
 ally expressed in vowels and consonants. For 
 the ONE WORK there are two Sexes. 
 
 It has been stated that the duality of ex- 
 pression was brought forth by the Father- 
 Mother principles. We know of it as sex, and it 
 is the expression of the projective and receptive, 
 the masculine and feminine energy of Deity. 
 All Nature is the result of the union of these 
 two forces — a thought as old as the human 
 race. 
 
 The first Adam was in the image of God, bi- 
 une. The second Adam is an entirely different 
 being. He is not androgyne or bi-une in the 
 same sense as the first ; he is divorced from Her 
 who dwelt within him, and wiio came forth from 
 out of him. What is generally called the ''fall' 
 is but the differentiation of the two ; the ex- 
 pression of Man and \\'oman in and through 
 sex-activity — the division of Self! Thus came 
 about the first divine divorce, when invisible, 
 subjective Woman, dwelling in Man as Her 
 habitation, came forth out of him and was ob- 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 45 
 
 jectified and made visible. And Man was no 
 longer in the likeness and image of God! 
 
 But the ''one far off divine event to which 
 the creation moves" is the Oneness — at-one- 
 ment — the reunion of the two that were divinely 
 divided. Referring to this Jesus said : ''Have 
 ye not read that He who made Man at the 
 beginning made them male and female? 
 Wherefore they are not twain but one." 
 
 HE Oneness is expressed by Man 
 and Woman in sex-activity. This 
 expression is celestial because of its 
 origin, and obedience to its Law 
 will bring the divine result of making gods of 
 men ; restoring the divine image. As Man and 
 Woman bring forth of themselves that which 
 they are, it takes form as a person but has a 
 dual nature. 
 
 This regeneration through the celestial 
 union of the masculine and feminine, the psalm- 
 ist refers to in the following words : "The right- 
 eous shall flourish like a palm tree." The Palm 
 is the symbol of the mysterious marriage which 
 is forever taking place in Nature ; it is both male 
 and female and reproduces itself in couples — 
 
46 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 the Bride and the Bridegroom, or the sister 
 never seen without the brother. The palm-tree 
 with a coiHng serpent around it is the oldest of 
 phallic symbols. It represents the creative en- 
 ergy as a guardian to the Tree of Life. The 
 significance of this and the above reference is 
 plain, when it is recalled how^ often Woman is 
 alluded to as the vine clinging in grace and 
 beauty to the strong oak. In that which winds 
 itself in spirals and curves around the sturdy, 
 trusty oaken stem, we see an expression of fe- 
 male tenderness as well as an appeal for atten- 
 tion and protection. 
 
 As the earth, the Great Mother, demands the 
 sun's fructifying power, so does Woman cling 
 to the strength of Man for caressing vitalization, 
 that she may eternally reproduce. The Sun in 
 splendor and vitality responds to the demand of 
 the earth ; with His creative force he entereth 
 in, and, behold, the birth of vegetation ! When 
 the demand and response is harmonious, that is, 
 proportionate in quality and degree, then is a 
 perfect creation the result. Such a result is as 
 divine as its cause. It is attained through the 
 Law of Regeneration ; it is attained by and for 
 the two actors themselves, the male and female, 
 the Man and the Woman. Attained, and once 
 more they are bi-une, having been born again ! 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 47 
 
 Esus is spoken of as a bi-une being. 
 Paul in his letters to the Ephesians, 
 says: "For to make of himself 
 twain, one new Man, so making 
 peace." There is also a mystical allusion to this 
 uniting of the two in the Apocryphal New Testa- 
 ment. Upon being asked again and again when 
 should come the kingdom of God, Jesus an- 
 swered : ''When the two shall be one and that 
 which is without shall be as that which is within 
 and the male with the female and there shall be 
 neither male nor female, then is the Kingdom 
 of God come." This mystical union is referred 
 to in other ancient writings as well as in the 
 Book of Books. 
 
 When will Man learn to look with a pure 
 eye upon this union which first took place in the 
 Godhood and a result of which he, himself, is ? 
 When will he learn to look reverently upon 
 that which makes him one with himself, one 
 with his Beloved and one with God? When 
 will he speak of its sanctity in whispered ac- 
 cents? when worship at the altar of divine 
 femininity? — for no Christ is born without the 
 marriage of the Bride and the Bridegroom ; the 
 union of soul and spirit as well as the union of 
 physical elements. 
 
48 THE MAJESTY OFSEX 
 
 HAT is true in regard to Man and 
 Woman is also true regarding each 
 one's particular make-up. The 
 duality in every individual system 
 must become a oneness in harmonious interac- 
 tion before a constitution perfect in health is 
 attained. For instance; there must be perfect 
 harmony between the two nervous systems that 
 represent the masculine and feminine ; the cere- 
 bro-spinal and the sympathetic. The sympa- 
 thetic is that part of the nervous system that 
 holds the soul in contact with the body. If left 
 free to communicate with its mate, the cerebro- 
 spinal, it will produce and transmit a rythmical 
 action into the very extremities of the system ; 
 but if interfered with it will wander away from 
 its mate, become incapable of symphony, and 
 put the body in an inharmonious condition, 
 which means ill health. 
 
 It is through this network of nerves that the 
 soul speaks to the bodily organs — as the spirit 
 speaks to the soul. The sympathetic acts invol- 
 untarily, while the cerebro-spinal acts with a 
 controlling power. In the sympathetic or femi- 
 nine center of nervous activity, is gathered to- 
 gether the substance wherewith the cerebro 
 works. The former originates the design, and 
 the latter crystalizes it into form. Separated, 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 49 
 
 neither of them has any power of action. It is 
 when the cerebro-spinal attempts to take entire 
 control that there is bodily illness. Every in- 
 harmonious action of either, gathers around 
 the spinal cord — the Tree of Life — disturbing 
 the sexual nature just as every inharmonious 
 thought disturbs and retards the growth of the 
 soul. Perfect interaction of the two brings per- 
 fect health, just as perfect interaction of mascu- 
 line and feminine force brings perfect peace 
 and rest. 
 
 HE harmonious blending of the two, 
 the perfect union of the masculine 
 and feminine, is the highest state of 
 existence reached in external life. 
 There must be a perfect alignment in order that 
 the plan of God in Nature may be carried out 
 universally. They are both held by the power 
 of activity, but neither can give forth its vital 
 force until beguiled into action by the other. 
 As an example, consider the electric and mag- 
 netic force. For the electric, the masculine or 
 projective, we take a bar of soft iron; for the 
 magnetic, the feminine or receptive, a helix or 
 coil of wire. Inserting the bar into the helix, 
 
50 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 the two are instantly so involved in each other 
 that they become as one life. In like manner 
 are set in motion the sex forces. The insertion 
 and reception at the point of contact of the two 
 elements, is the creative act. The vibration 
 produced by this contact is a motion elevating 
 Man by degrees into Divine Humanity ; a spiral 
 entry like unto the first great whirl of spirit 
 manifesting existence. 
 
 So begins and ends this initial statement, 
 with the bi-une man. The twain in One were 
 divorced by divine decree, and united again in 
 accordance with the Law of the same Supreme 
 Judge ! And the twain become again one ! 
 
 ^ * 4* 
 
 EX vibration is the kindled spark 
 that fires every project. It sets in 
 motion every physical transaction; 
 it quickens the mentality; it moves 
 the heart into rythmical pulsation. Between na- 
 tions it is known as commerce; in Nature, as 
 unfolding life in its many degrees and modes 
 of expression ; in the human family, as Love ! 
 This vibration must be recognized as all-potent 
 if the goal the soul strives for shall be attained. 
 The two forces united constitute a power 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 5I 
 
 omnipotent; results following inevitably. By 
 this vibratory power was the Universe made 
 manifest. That which is useless does not exist. 
 Each of the functional centers is for use and 
 for purpose. Through the touch of divine Love 
 each will come into union with the other, thus 
 establishing unity. Hitherto this highest and 
 God-given power has been basely looked upon ; 
 but now all deep thinkers, all those seeking the 
 hidden meaning of things, all those longing for 
 the innermost heart of life are looking for an 
 understanding of sex vibration, believing that 
 such understanding will redeem the world. 
 When all the men and women who are seeking 
 such kowledge of themselves, shall know how 
 to utilize this life-giving essence, then will there 
 be ushered into earth-life a race of men like 
 unto gods ! 
 
 When once it is known that this vibration 
 may be manipulated as tangibly as a more 
 solidified substance, and recognized as the 
 holiest activity, it will be used for the highest 
 and most sacred purpose; to lift the body into 
 perfect and continual health, harmony, youth, 
 and beauty; to so unfold the soul that every 
 condition may be masterfully grasped and the 
 day be freed from strife! 
 
 As man comes into realization that he is in 
 
52 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 possession of this creative power, so will he 
 learn to manifest, at will, whatsoever he de- 
 sires. For there is a faculty in man which, if 
 intelligently exercised, will assume full and 
 rightful control of the sexual function and of 
 the secretions of the body. This faculty is 
 aroused into action by the knowledge that Man 
 is Divine, and Creator of himself! It is the 
 WILL. When it is realized that there is but the 
 One Will, and that its force may be manipulated 
 at pleasure, it is quite plain that by its in- 
 telligent application, one may master every 
 function of one's being. 
 
 The ordinary idea of the creative act makes 
 "results" of it unavoidable. And though one 
 may seem to have mastered himself, mastery is 
 impossible until the most vivid conception of 
 Self, as Divine, is attained.

 ONDERFUL things may be accom- 
 plished sexually, but there cannot 
 possibly be perfect sex mastery 
 without a thorough knowledge of 
 what it is that constitutes the creative or for- 
 mative principle. When that is well under- 
 stood, self-guidance is easy, and this means 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 53 
 
 mastery of the sex-forces. Man being pos- 
 sessed with the idea that he is Spirit, the desire 
 to create that which he is, the Absolute, will 
 also possess him. For he creates and manifests 
 according to the thought that rules him. He 
 vibrates in just the measure the sex principle is 
 apprehended. Love-vibrations are most potent 
 and rapid, and when Love is in full possession 
 the soul vibrates in tune with the great har- 
 mony. If hate in any form is predominant, 
 inharmony, disease and death are rampant, be- 
 cause of the slow vibration of sex force. 
 
 The emanation of thought creates a certain 
 quality of sex aroma, out of which any form 
 may be materialized and brought into expres- 
 sion by those knowing how to deal with it. 
 There is no doubt that the Oriental adepts, as 
 well as some of our Western masters, under- 
 stand this vibration and its use. We read in 
 Oriental literature of masters who, living a 
 holy life, are looked upon and followed about 
 with reverence by w^omen of the country. Con- 
 stantly giving out thought emanations, they 
 create a vibration which, being understood by 
 the adept, is gathered consciously into form 
 and used to raise the dead, and restore the sick 
 or suffering. Any one willing to discipline his 
 thought may learn to deal thus with vibratory 
 
54 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 sex substance, using it for any purpose or plac- 
 ing it wheresoever he desires. 
 
 Sex vibration once generated may be used 
 for healing the sick, comforting the sorrowful, 
 or bringing about prosperous conditions. In 
 fact, until this truth be recognized: that heal- 
 ing is the result of the right use of sex power, 
 there will be no perfect results attained in con- 
 scious instantaneous healing. 
 
 When sufficient sex energy has been gen- 
 erated within the individual the touch of the 
 hand will show wonderful results, a look will 
 cause a quiver of delight, far superior to the 
 ordinary union of physical force; the presence 
 of one thus well sexed, will envelop the other 
 in a divine aura; and, in the absence of person- 
 ality, a thought charged with vital love cur- 
 rents will generate the most exquisite vibra- 
 tions and quicken into greater life the mind and 
 body thus impregnated.

 SUGGESTION offered is a projection 
 of energy, and if received, acted 
 upon and expressed, it becomes 
 sexual interchange. Physical inter- 
 action is but a step toward the ideal relation. 
 Should ideal communion only be desired, the 
 ideal creative thought may be projected which, 
 upon reaching the mental chalice it is intended 
 for, is received and expressed as renewed vigor, 
 life in the body, health and greater vitality. 
 
 There can be no perfect sex communion 
 without the infinite consciousness of Love, for 
 Love is the all-potent vibration of the world. 
 As wisdom concerning the soul is attained, 
 Love is revealed as the I AM demanding recog- 
 nition through sex-interaction. In other w^ords, 
 the All-creative spirit demands expression of 
 Itself! 
 
 The end of Love is redemption and glorifi- 
 cation in this sphere, now. Woman will re- 
 deem Man in order that she may become glori- 
 fied. Woman needs no redemption — she needs 
 glorification! Man will illumine Woman in 
 glorification, and will be absorbed in her, 
 rather than consumed. Then, through her 
 power of conservation, she will bear him and 
 bring him forth again. And without losing 
 
56 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 individual consciousness, they will not be 
 twain, but conscious of each other's conscious- 
 ness they will be One ! 
 
 We each have the opportunity in this world 
 NOW^ for growing into Oneness, constituting 
 ourselves a Being Wonderful ! Even to-day 
 with our limited knowledge, we perceive Love, 
 sex-energy, as infinite in possibilities and des- 
 tiny; but in reality it has neither possibilities 
 nor destiny, because it simply IS ! 
 
 Some day every soul will create a world for 
 itself and remain its Godhead !

 T has been stated that in the begin- 
 ning God created both male and fe- 
 male; hence in their potentialities 
 they are essentially spiritual, par- 
 taking of the Creator's Godliness. It is con- 
 trary to the nature of the Creator that he should 
 have brought forth anything useless. All the 
 organs of the body are so closely allied as to 
 constitute one harmonious whole, and yet the 
 different organs often become so intermixed in 
 action, that it is difficult to define the use of 
 each; nor is this necessary, but one thing is 
 necessary, and that is to recognize the Unity of 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 57 
 
 Man. This must be laid down as a principle 
 of guidance in all sexual, as well as any other 
 interaction of the bodily organs. 
 
 Right here we are chiefly concerned with 
 that intercourse which is the intercourse of 
 generation, as distinct from that of regenera- 
 tion. They have each their holy end — the lat- 
 ter that of regenerating the acting individual; 
 the former that of perpetuating the human race. 
 This is as holy as the other. It is the God or- 
 dained function for the evolution of all exist- 
 ent life. He has decreed that all uplifting and 
 unfolding in His different kingdoms, as well 
 as of each individual being, be accomplished 
 through the judicious use of sex vibration. To 
 be convinced of the truth of this we have only 
 to look at the necessity of sex interchange in 
 all natural life. 
 
 In order that Man may carry out the Cre- 
 ator's design he must studiously and unflinch- 
 ingly observe the principles laid down in cre- 
 ation. As yet, he allows his senses, emotions 
 and preconceived ideas to govern him ; impulse 
 for so-called pleasure is so great in some per- 
 sons, that without thought of the future they 
 rush headlong into sensual gratification, and 
 lo, lust is born ! Is it any wonder that the race 
 is no nearer the fulfillment of the promise, "and 
 
58 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 ye shall be like him?" The use of sex power 
 for mere pleasure is a form of suicide of soul, 
 mind and body. 
 
 When the real design, use and purpose of 
 sex shall be generally understood, mankind 
 will have taken a mighty leap toward the under- 
 standing of the divine requirements in con- 
 ditional life, as well as the comprehension of the 
 principle for the fulfilling of the requirements. 
 
 Principle involves all that means affirma- 
 tion of the infinitely true or its expression.

 s we approach the subject closer and 
 lay it to the bosom of our own per- 
 sonality, what Man or Woman is 
 there that does not find further in- 
 vestigation of themselves of most vital and 
 most sacred importance ? What man or woman 
 can help being more or less conscious of sex 
 as the fundamental principle of their being? 
 Through the magic of human love man and 
 woman may become the conscious instruments 
 for the elevation and alleviation of over-suffer- 
 ing humanity. An unshakable determination to 
 become such conscious instruments, living for 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 59 
 
 a divine purpose, should possess the soul of 
 every man and woman. 
 
 The principle to be kept in mind is the 
 supernal fact that Man is One. This means 
 that he looks upon each part of himself as 
 equally holy, that his body is as sacredly pure 
 as his soul, and that it is eternally divine. The 
 material of which it is formed is but a dif- 
 ferentiation of the same substance whereof the 
 soul and the spirit is constituted. It is but a 
 denser and more opaque expression of the same 
 spirit substance whereof God Himself, as a 
 Being, ex-ists. 
 
 For the generation of God-men, or godly- 
 men, it is absolutely necessary to keep the prin- 
 ciple thus stated firmly in mind. We need but 
 look at the high degree of perfection in culti- 
 vated plants and well bred stock, to be convinced 
 of the infinite influence this law exerts on all 
 manifested life. It is by the guidance of sex 
 functioning that such beauty and perfection is 
 attained. In order that the principle may be 
 followed, and its law applied to the best ad- 
 vantage, a close attention to conditions is in- 
 dispensable. Things must not only be attended 
 to, but undesirable elements must be elimi- 
 nated. 
 
 Jacob availed himself of this Law. He 
 
60 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 cultivated Laban's sheep into a herd of his own, 
 by placing the "ringstraked, spotted and 
 speckled rods" before their eyes at the moment 
 of conception. The offspring will always bear 
 the mark of the mental or physical condition 
 of the parent at that moment. This law is un- 
 limited in scope and potency. What wonders 
 could not man realize by its observance and 
 assiduous application! It hints of an impetus 
 toward progression that he has scarcely yet 
 dreamed of. In the sex functioning is the con- 
 trolling force of the onward march, and it 
 holds within its mysteries inspiring promises 
 of unfoldment into higher life.

 OWEVER, the fact is, man chooses a 
 certain time to breed his cows and 
 horses. He searches for the best 
 blooded stock in the land whereby 
 his cattle may be bred. He can bring them up 
 to any standard. He will have no chance lambs 
 or calves on his well ordered farm. He wants 
 only the best, and he knows that by forethought 
 and careful attention to principle, he will come 
 into possession of that which he desires. With 
 utmost vigilance he watches his stock that only 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 6l 
 
 such animals shall be conceived as will be 
 of the best quality and even these in a limited 
 number. 
 
 But when it comes to the conception and 
 building of a Living Temple for such a soul as 
 may be seeking a renewed activity, the choice 
 of a fitting time and favorable condition for 
 such holy manifestation, is sadly wanting. The 
 conception of a human being is mostly left to 
 chance. The little baby is frequently an un- 
 welcome guest and a burden to the mother, 
 who carries it with the forced endurance of a 
 slave under a yoke too heavily weighted to 
 leave anything but indifference for the little 
 one — be he "ringstraked, speckled or spotted." 
 Both parents fail to comprehend that the little 
 body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit. Less 
 care is taken in its building than were they 
 erecting a barn for their animals. No heed 
 is given to the environment into which the 
 coming soul is to be plunged. Many do not 
 want children; more do not know what they 
 want. Least of all do they consider that the 
 formation and constitution of the Living 
 Temple will be according to the mental and 
 physical state or conditon of the parents at the 
 time of conception and carriage. Let every one 
 
62 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 realize that the structure can be molded into 
 an ideal one by the power of thought!

 OMAN is rightful possessor of every 
 organ of her body, notwithstanding 
 man's potency to impregnate her. 
 But ignorant of this simple fact, 
 she is often powerless, through over-anxiety; 
 and against her desire brings human progeny 
 into visibility. A consciousness that she is 
 possessor of her every organ and part, gives 
 her power over her whole being — body, soul 
 and spirit. By fearlessness and loving aban- 
 donment, her positiveness rightly directed, she 
 can escape physical impregnation if she chooses. 
 Any resistance to the loving attitude of her 
 spouse, or fearfulness on her part, will endanger 
 her ability to protect herself. But if she holds 
 love, tenderness and harmony for herself and 
 her mate, she will intehigently transform and 
 transmute the fructifying element entering the 
 chalice of her being. But if this transforma- 
 tion is not done and the physical germ be de- 
 posited untrausmutcd, she has failed to use 
 her maternal strength — she has failed to recog- 
 nize her equality with paternal potency.

 Thought is the principle of creation; there- 
 fore, think what ye will to manifest, and as 
 your thought is so must your creation be. 
 The sex of a child is not made by the parents, 
 it is only determined; the condition of the 
 mother's mind determines the sex of her child, 
 just as it determines the kind of offspring she 
 will bring forth ; whether it be that of a physical 
 nature or of the immaculate, immaterial ex- 
 pression of Love and Everlasting Life. With- 
 out the centralized thought of the mother there 
 can be no formation of life. This she generally 
 does unconsciously, but she can so train her- 
 self and her mental faculties that she may be 
 able to do it consciously.

 o conceive a son, woman's idea or 
 the female germ should be most 
 strongly centralized and vice versa. 
 The woman attracts to herself the 
 male germ, and the man attracts the female. 
 During the union of the pair, woman must hold 
 the thought of what she most desires, either 
 in choice of sex or manifestation. If she de- 
 sires a son she must look deeply into the eyes 
 of her companion at the moment of exchange. 
 
64 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 SO as to stamp the male image on her mind, 
 thence upon the germ. It all rests with woman 
 which shall hold the centralizing thought. 
 Woman moulds the physical form into whatso- 
 ever her ideal may be ; she brings forth her ideal 
 in all cases, no matter what expression it may 
 take, whether a physical form of her love or 
 a more immaculate expression. To beget a 
 female child she should be receptive through- 
 out, and man should be positive enough to con- 
 trol her sexual condition. 
 
 That an ideal child may be brought forth, 
 many weeks preparation is usually necessary; 
 but if the couple live a pure and simple life, 
 three days time of fasting and impregnating 
 themselves with the positive ideal, is sufficient 
 preparation. Those whose life is more complex, 
 should live for several weeks on simple food, 
 fasting at intervals, saturating the mind with 
 ideality. Ideality must dominate their every 
 action that it may be visible in their mutual 
 relation. Then the mind is in such a condition 
 that it controls the body. 
 
 Inception, or the mental attitude of the 
 parents before conception, is indicative of the 
 nature of the soul to be conceived; hence the 
 necessity of an ideal mental attitude during 
 inception. The development of the child's 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 65 
 
 character is especially influenced during the first 
 six months after conception ; hence the import- 
 ance of realizing the ideality after conception. 
 Children should be conceived while the sun 
 is shining. To determine sex, fill the mind 
 with the ideal most desired ! 
 
 OTH Man and Woman must be free 
 in concept regarding the purity and 
 holiness of sex-relationship, or it 
 w411 become a consuming fire pro- 
 ducing diseased results, restlessness and un- 
 happiness in all conditions. Any undue attempt 
 or inducement to coerce either man or woman 
 breaks in upon the harmony of interaction, 
 throwing everything out of equilibrium, be it 
 household or business affairs. In itself sex- 
 interchange is pure, but of all passions most 
 likely to be abused. This renders perfect purity 
 of concept regarding it absolutely necessary; 
 and if this cannot be attained to, it is better to 
 debar one's self entirely and lead a life of celib- 
 acy, for the soul cannot evolve its supreme 
 power where there be any taint of evil or where 
 fear lingers. 
 
 The sex relation must not be judged by the 
 
66 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 effects produced while indulged in ignorantly 
 or heedless of the scientific principle involved. 
 All objectionable results and conditions are re- 
 moved the instant the true principle connected 
 with it is recognized. Principle may be ob- 
 served everywhere. There has never been a 
 successful issue in any undertaking where prin- 
 ciple has not been observed. Without it there 
 can be neither law, order, nor satisfaction. 
 
 By the art of creation or sex-interaction, in 
 accordance with divine principle, man will 
 demonstrate and manifest greater life, perfect 
 health, larger power, exquisite happiness in 
 all sexual fulness. The same propensity which 
 manifests itself as parental instinct and fero- 
 cious passion in the animal and as affection and 
 jealousy in the human, unfolds its own pure 
 blossoms in the angelic or celestial condition 
 known as love and wisdom. 
 
 The observation of principle will bring suc- 
 cess in its broadest sense in any line of busi- 
 ness, or it will bring the most exquisite har- 
 mony, pleasure and profit in existing relations 
 between man and woman. Without it, there 
 can be hut a relative pleasure in communion be- 
 tween the sexes. Infinitely observed, the com- 
 munion is the most sacred and holy relation 
 possible. 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 67 
 
 s the electric battery is charged 
 with a mysterious Hfe-force, so is 
 the sex-battery charged with the 
 sublimest and most mysterious of 
 all forces — the life-current of creation; and 
 the most serious of all duties is to direct this 
 current according to law, bringing forth per- 
 fect temples for the Living Soul. It may over- 
 cast life and soul with the blackest clouds, or re- 
 flect a halo of everlasting life about true lovers. 
 Its influence extends far and wide into the ages, 
 both past and future. It holds within its fiery 
 and consuming embrace not only vegetation, 
 mineral and animal life, but also the life of 
 man. 
 
 Physical force is electric force and is de- 
 structive; while magnetic force is life-giving 
 and constructive. Unless the physical union be 
 controlled and guided by loving thought, there 
 is lost just that much of the vitality of our 
 being; and, therefore, there is less brain and 
 mental development in the one who thus par- 
 takes. 
 
 In the functioning of sexual conditions, 
 lies the cause of all disease as well as the cause 
 of all ease and rest. Deficiency in any organ 
 may be traced to impotency or over-activity of 
 the generative ones, for there must be lack of 
 
68 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 vitality in the life-forming fluids to cause such 
 deficiency. Hence the importance of treating 
 sacredly that portion of the body, for it is the 
 centre whence goes forth all vitality. 
 
 Having once given forth the life-fluid it can 
 never be used for self-vivification. If woman 
 has an excess of children she has lost that much 
 of her own individual child-life or soul-exist- 
 ence. All abnormal conditions of the body 
 consume the life-fluid ; every drop of life-fluid 
 given towards the formation of another body, 
 or spent in any way, is just that much individ- 
 ual child-life used up and lost to her. All germs 
 have a male and female nature — they are bi- 
 une as everything else is essentially so, even the 
 air we breathe. 
 
 When the thought that dominates life is 
 full of love, then the dual conditions in either 
 man or woman become polarized. 
 
 It is necessary, at times, that man and 
 woman enter each others personality to the ex- 
 tent that all else is forgotten. But it is essen- 
 tial to this end, that they come more fully into 
 the consciousness of the celestial nature of 
 their love, which is the only status of all true 
 lovers. Coming more and more into the con- 
 sciousness of Love's absolute divinity brings 
 that almighty power all souls are seeking. 
 
A SONG OF IMLIOr. TAL LIFE 69 
 
 HE excess of flow during the time 
 of woman's menstruation is abnor- 
 mal, and due to the conditional life 
 by which she has been surrounded 
 for centuries. The artificial and conventional 
 indoor life, the abnormal excitation of the sex- 
 ual functioning which necessarily weakens the 
 sexual-muscular system, the demand made upon 
 her by man in his misuse and unrestrained in- 
 dulgence of passion — all this is sufficient to have 
 induced an abnormal expression of what should 
 have been a mere cleansing process, a shed- 
 ding of blood and water, a preparation for the 
 vivification of the germ of life, without w^hich 
 there can be no manifestation of the soul's 
 ideal. 
 
 This period is a psychic one and should be 
 controlled by the mentality and not by physical 
 appliances ; but as a result of misconception re- 
 gardingher sexual functioning, woman has per- 
 mitted the control of it to become largely patho- 
 logical. As she becomes more and more 
 spiritual she learns to govern this condition 
 and, at these recurring periods, has less and 
 less effete matter to throw off. 
 
 Change of life is not necessary. It is the 
 result of misuse, and by doing aw^ay with the 
 cause the effect disappears. The savage woman 
 
70 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 gives birth to children at an advanced age, and 
 this is one proof that this condition is abnormal. 
 There are many accounts in both modern and 
 ancient writings of women who have given 
 birth to their children after the so-called al- 
 lotted time. There is but one Law — the Law of 
 Harmony — and there is not partiality enough 
 in either heaven or earth to change this Law 
 for either Sarah or any other favored woman ! 
 Consciously or iniconsciously, she who holds 
 herself polarized to this Law fulfills it, and no 
 matter of what age, she can bring forth chil- 
 dren, spiritual or physical. 
 
 The modern man and woman may disbelieve 
 this statement, as did Sarah and Abraham of 
 old, but verily it cometh to pass that the re- 
 deemed woman may acquire such vital power 
 as will enable her to bear, at any age, the 
 child of promise. By this child their youth will 
 be renewed, for the child Isaac is the child of 
 Laughter; it is a new joy, that which rejuven- 
 ates the father and glorifies the mother.

 ARRiAGE is for co-opcration and not 
 for co-habitation merely. In physi- 
 cal interchange man, being the 
 most positive outwardly, reaches 
 satisfaction before woman has centered herself, 
 not waiting for the blending of magnetic es- 
 sence ; hence it culminates in electric shocks in- 
 stead of magnetic vibration. The sequence is, 
 that she as well as he, is deprived of the finer 
 essence and subtle vibration that goes toward 
 the unfoldment of the soul or toward building 
 the Living Temple of Immortality. 
 
 The life forces of man are magnetized by 
 woman, and this magnetic substance given by 
 her, builds up his entire system ; magnetizes his 
 body, sharpens his intellectual faculties, and 
 thus becoming more and more magnetic they 
 become equalized, in sequence more spiritual- 
 ized. If the thought of both be not centralized 
 in the ideal — love and truth — it is better to 
 refrain from a physical expression of love. If 
 the seminal fluid be retained in the system un- 
 magnetized — unloved — it becomes a death- 
 dealing substance. 
 
 Through woman comes man's spiritual vic- 
 tory. Through her, love may be made so mani- 
 fest that the tri-une promise given to the world 
 
^'2. THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 concerning regeneration and eternal life in th-e 
 body, may be revealed unto Mankind. We have 
 witnessed generation, are experiencing re-gen- 
 eration and through the combined process of 
 these two, the third — Eternal Life — may be 
 ushered in. 
 
 Look, that ye may see the fulfilling of this 
 promise !

 T may be asked, what is, more defi- 
 nitely, the right use of this great 
 central equipoise of the body? 
 All the senses are constructive or 
 obstructive according to the manner of polari- 
 zation. If we choose to permit our thoughts 
 and longings to fall toward the lowest concep- 
 tion of physical conditions, we have then chosen 
 slavery. More than that, the divine order has 
 been reversed and the Fire of Life allowed to 
 burn low on the Altar. But if, on the con- 
 trary, the overbalanced conditions are adjusted 
 through the art of fine and true living, the as- 
 cension of the Heavenly Arc is at once begim. 
 The sexual functioning or sense of touch 
 is of all the five senses most completely under 
 the dominance of the Will. We eat, drink, 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 73 
 
 and clothe ourselves, listen, smell, and see in- 
 voluntarily; the only thing the Will has to do 
 with these is to govern and direct. 
 
 It is to the glory of the present day that 
 man is learning that every atom of his body is 
 made for use — purposeful use; no part of it 
 inferior, in its place and action, to any other 
 part. He is learning moreover to direct the 
 magnetic currents as intelligently as he trains 
 his mind or cares for his digestive organs. He 
 knows that all the organs are for use in the 
 highest and best way ; and that the highest and 
 best is always in the Hne of moderation. 
 
 But most men and w^omen are ignorantly 
 groping through Egyptian darkness for knowl- 
 edge of the force which furnishes their bodies 
 with even the crudest vitality. The greatest 
 achievement of the soul is to perceive the origin 
 of and increase the supply of its potential life. 
 In order that this may be accomplished the 
 mind must control the body; not one portion 
 of it but the whole. Self-guidance will bring 
 self-mastery in this as well as in all other 
 struggles. 
 
THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 HE body as a temple of the Living 
 God is brought into manifestation 
 for the sole purpose of expressing 
 the whole spirit of the Divine. It 
 is through full recognition of the power within 
 — the Holy Spirit — that material conditions 
 and physical atoms become glorified. The 
 power of transmutation or purification is 
 reached through the recognition of the force- 
 fulness of thought, and by constantly utilizing 
 this resistless power. 
 
 But it is not possible to obtain the desired 
 result, harmony, without the union of the es- 
 sential life forces — masculine and feminine ele- 
 ments. Equilibrium is the effect of the two 
 forces acting in and u])on each other. The 
 final result of imperfect interaction is death; 
 that of perfect interaction is Life! 
 
 There is a masculine force ever exhibiting 
 itself physically in the form of a certain es- 
 sence that inherently possesses the power 
 to create a body ; but in order that it may be- 
 come operative it must seek the vitalizing ele- 
 ment which is held within the potential femi- 
 nine. Here we may observe that if this fluid 
 in the possession of man or woman is capable 
 of creating and giving life to a germ-seed — 
 bringing into manifestation a body — it must 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 75 
 
 also have the power to rebuild the body of Man. 
 Being able to create on one phase of existence 
 must necessarily prove the ability to create on 
 any plane, whatever either man or woman de- 
 sires. 
 
 The human soul is in possession of this 
 greatest of all Divine Gifts. The great lever 
 of this magical power is centered in the imperial 
 Will. In mental as well as in physical science 
 that which is true in theory cannot always be 
 recognized and practiced, unless the Primal 
 Truth is kept constantly in mind. All inter- 
 course should be governed by perfect sympathy 
 of desire between man and woman. 
 
 When Man knows how to transform that 
 which lies within him, as an active energy, into 
 a passive-positive potentiality, then has he 
 solved the problem of how much sex vibration 
 is involved in the process of transmutation, of 
 changing the lower into the higher. The most 
 ordinary operations of sex-life, even that which 
 has been declared the lowest in the scale of evo- 
 lution, have their esoteric meaning and are con- 
 nected with the evolution of the Image of God. 
 They are skeletons upon which are builded all 
 that concerns the manifestation of spirit.

 AN^s Will is a creative or sex attri- 
 bute and can be demonstrated as 
 life or energy. It is perceived in 
 every phase of existence from the 
 least to the largest and most vital, to the degree 
 that its character is understood. It is the 
 invincible I, the impersonal you, the great 
 principle of humanity everywhere manifest. 
 Scientifically analyzed it proves to be our indi- 
 viduality, apparent, leaving no room for doubt 
 as to its supremely creative nature. It is often 
 true that through non-perception of Will-power 
 the individuality is unestablished, and when this 
 is so little or nothing is stable. 
 
 Impotency of mind or body denotes ignor- 
 ance of the true creative law ; or it denotes ne- 
 gation to positive minds who rule the indi- 
 vidual's concept and absorb the forces of his 
 being. There should be a continual activity of 
 creative potency; the sexual functions should 
 be as completely under control of the will as 
 the motion of a finger. That part of the an- 
 atomy may be as much under guidance of the 
 mind as the hand or foot. 
 
 The unworthy manner in which we have 
 considered rigidity and formed a race belief 
 adverse to the showing forth of the creative 
 spirit, prevail against man ; as a consequence

 he is not master of his sex nature. If he does 
 practice mastery and conserve his creative 
 force, turning it into whatsoever channel he 
 chooses, he is able to convert his sexual desire 
 into the power that unfolds and uplifts the 
 soul. 
 
 The use of this great potency is free, and 
 through its almighty nature a strong individu- 
 ality may be developed — a personal force irre- 
 sistable. 
 
 T is said, ''Knowledge is power;" 
 and it is true, especially so in re- 
 gard to the knowledge of the Will, 
 because its development consti- 
 tutes BEING. Thorough apprehension of this 
 establishes personal strength and energy. That 
 which is seen in mankind as attractive and 
 forceful, is the cultivated will; its greater and 
 more refined essence is known as Love. We 
 may perceive, enjoy and profit by this force as 
 readily as we may sense and revel in the 
 potent and life-giving rays of the sun. 
 
 The refined and cultivated will is magnetic 
 and shows forth in that subtle charm — a mag- 
 netic presence. Consciousness of Will-power 
 
78 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 is followed by the creation of success and 
 health; it immortalizes and regenerates, it is 
 the life-giving- principle — the true and Living 
 God! 
 
 Perhaps it is better to state it plainly that 
 the Will is representative of Woman, as the 
 Intellect is of Man. 
 
 The regenerate man can in no sense engage 
 in the usual form of sexual interaction and be 
 sure of practical results, with one whose Will 
 is a questionable factor in the act. For 
 the two would not only be disturbed in carry- 
 ing out a sacred purpose, but possibly annoy 
 each other, and the potency be lost to both. 
 Though creative interaction is in no sense evil, 
 the effect of ignorance concerning it, makes 
 it often times undesirable. Under the thought 
 of its being evil, and because of certain un- 
 written laws, there is always the possibility of 
 inharmony. With two people wholly adapted 
 to each other in love and principle, it is always 
 a matter of bringing forth the principle in- 
 volved. It is something like taking two chemi- 
 cals and testing them to see what the resulting 
 third substance will be. The sex act is as 
 natural as the chemical experiment. In it we 
 are handling one of the many differentiations 
 of God-substance. And if offspring is de- 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 79 
 
 sired, the child will be the third substance mani- 
 fest ;or if the ideal-reality be desired — as health, 
 energy, or immaculate conception wherein the 
 Christ is born — this may be brought forth. ' 
 
 Positive thought generates substance that 
 impregnates the mentality, and through the 
 natural course of gestation, bears the fruit of 
 itself. The Will is productive and can repro- 
 duce the Real Man, Love — and we behold the 
 Christ ! 
 
 The Will is feminine. 
 
 HE resonance of the deepest note 
 vibrating against the sound-board 
 of human life, the wail of every 
 awakened soul, is : "Where shall 
 life immortal be found? Where does regenera- 
 tion begin?" 
 
 The answer to these questions rests upon 
 the souls who have entered through the inner 
 Door of the Temple, and stood behind the veil, 
 and before the three mystical altars. These 
 souls must unlock the door for the aspiring, 
 fearless ones who would go forward into the 
 unknown country where is consummated the 
 divine marriage — the union of forces. 
 
80 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 For the sake of equilibrium, the masculine 
 and feminine — Father and Mother — must be 
 in conjunction. Equilibrium is indispensable to 
 all growth and progress. 
 
 Man's at-one-ment with God is consum- 
 mated at the three altars set up in that Temple 
 of God — Man's body. These are the three 
 brains or nerve centers. We distinguish these 
 as the pineal gland or spiritual brain; the sol- 
 ar plexus or psychic centre; and the centre of 
 creative energy or sexual activity. 
 
 It will be stated further on with what spe- 
 cial parts of the body each one of these three 
 is most intimately related ; but it must be borne 
 in mind that each and all operate throughout 
 the entire physical system, maintaining without 
 any voluntary action on man's part a more or 
 less perfect equilibrium. 
 
 These brains, centres, or furnaces are lo- 
 cated in distinct parts of the body. The first 
 one includes the head, brain, facial expression, 
 the throat, neck and shoulders, with all their 
 intricate mechanism. The second part embraces 
 within its courtly outline the lungs, diaphragm, 
 heart and stomach, ending just below the sol- 
 ar plexus. The third includes the sexual, and 
 is the most powerful furnace of the body. It 
 is here the operations belonging to the Fire of 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 8l 
 
 Life fulfill the Law of heat and move upward. 
 If the fire of the fundamental furnace is bright- 
 ly burning, the heat of transmutation, ascend- 
 ing from the lowest to the highest, passes 
 through the three nerve centers or brains, 
 shows forth in three flames, and finally mani- 
 fests the regenerate Man. This is the simple 
 yet marvelous process of physical redemption — 
 from generation to regeneration. 
 
 HE three brains correspond to the 
 three altars in the Temple of 
 ancient days. The three furnaces 
 of the body are the fires kept 
 burning in attestation of the undying Fire of 
 the Holy Spirit. These three brains or altars 
 set up in the Temple — Man's body — are also 
 symbolical of the relation of the spiritual 
 world to the material and the harmonious inter- 
 action between them. In these three furnaces 
 we have represented the three-fold refining Hres 
 through which final purification and redemption 
 is attained. Each of these have their own use 
 and distinct powers. Out of their harmonious 
 exercise and appropriation of their potency will 
 come new growth and divine power. 
 
82 THEMAJESTYOFSEX 
 
 Man's regeneration depends upon himself. 
 If he will but take the trouble to study the 
 words spoken by Jesus : "A Man must be born 
 again of water and of the spirit/' he will find 
 the Master meant that the physical atoms of 
 which the body is formed, must pass through 
 a refining process of fire and water. This is 
 brought about by changing the quality of the 
 atoms ; by lifting that which burns low, to the 
 Fire flaring brilliantly on the upper altar of the 
 Temple or the spiritual brain. The operation 
 of this lower furnace is the outcome of the 
 Eternal Thought and proves, as he wills, Man's 
 curse or his blessing.

 HE heart and lungs are essentially 
 vital organs. The heart holds the 
 fluid called blood — a lifeprinciple. 
 It is cleansed and stimulated into 
 unceasing activity by the aerial fluid, or fe- 
 cundating principle, contained in the lungs. The 
 heart and blood, then, represent the receptive, 
 while the lungs and air (ether) represent the 
 projective principle. As the receptive is acted 
 upon by the projective it becomes the dispenser 
 of life to the nervous system; and these three, 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 83 
 
 the heart, lungs, and nervous system, are again 
 the same as the three altars mentioned, only 
 viewed from a different standpoint. As one, 
 they are not only the vehicle but also the gate- 
 way of the sex nature, going and leading to 
 destruction or construction, as the driver, Man, 
 directs or chooses. 
 
 For the latter, construction, there must be 
 perfect interaction between the three — Father, 
 Mother, Son. Father or Ether, Mother or 
 Life, Son or Centre — it matters not! Names 
 may differ, but facts and their relationship 
 remain ever the same. 
 
 The unceasing stream of sex substance com- 
 pleting the circle along with and in the blood 
 is the mystical River of Life. It corresponds 
 to the continual flow of spirit that circulates 
 through all creation. As the spirit is the sus- 
 tainer and dispenser of all universal life, so is 
 the white stream of sex substance the sustainer 
 and dispenser of all human life. By it the 
 three nerve centres or brains are properly nour- 
 ished for higher purpose. Man can degenerate 
 or regenerate his blood by his thought and his 
 method of living. His sex vitality is indicated 
 by the quality of his blood. Every drop of blood 
 contains in miniature a complete man. Every 
 body is composed of a certain number of chemi- 
 
84 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 cal elements, and a drop of blood contains the 
 full number of these. When man creates a 
 germ of life for transmission to another body, 
 he collects either consciously or unconsciously, 
 a share of the vital force of every drop of 
 blood in his anatomy, and reforms it for a pur- 
 pose. Hence the blood figures very largely in 
 the transaction of creative union. 
 
 4* 4' 4* 
 
 HE heart is a centre of action in 
 physical life. Within this region 
 of the body where the psychical 
 nerve centre is located is found 
 the seat of unmanifested thought, the so-lar 
 plexus, lungs and heart — the point of cruci- 
 fixion or where transmutation begins. It is in 
 this central ganglia that the waters below 
 mingle with the waters from above — and be- 
 come the **wine found in the cluster." In this 
 region Love is first kindled. The heart is the 
 first organ to respond to Love vibrations. And 
 since the sex organs are the physical corre- 
 spondents to the psychic emotion of love, that 
 emotion must be responded to by every atom 
 before it can be perfectly polarized and har- 
 monized in all it-^! relations. 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 85 
 
 When we recognize all life as one Life, it 
 comes natural to love all expressions of the 
 one Life. This is necessary : that we love 
 every thing, act and experience; and when we 
 realize that each experience is a necessary ad- 
 junct in our unfoldment, an equal love and 
 estimation of all experience will come without 
 effort. 
 
 The red cells of the blood convey the spark 
 of Life to every part of the body. Every cell 
 is governed by the mind, its thought and atti- 
 tude. Thus it is very plainly seen how the love- 
 thought, generated in the heart, will modify 
 the cells of the sex fluid, and how, unless so 
 modified by mental force and poise, numberless 
 hundreds of these red cells are deprived of life ; 
 or, how this love-thought may carry the glad 
 tidings of life to all cells and lift them into 
 more harmonious, mutual relation. 
 
 Concentrated thought produces action, and 
 concentrated action produces the germ cell; 
 hence the necessity of concentrating such 
 potency as will maintain equilibrium, for any 
 desired purpose. It is not only the creation and 
 sowing of seed for one time, but it is an oper- 
 ation in union, an unceasing process and se- 
 quence. Thought force, governed and guided, 
 must go forth persistently and constantly. Then 
 
86 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 will it act upon the particular germ-cell as it 
 acts upon the whole system. 
 
 The manifestation of thought is like unto 
 the material manifestation of sex intercourse, 
 where, becoming pregnant through physical 
 contact, the birth of physical progeny results. 
 In one case it is mental interaction by thought 
 impregnation, producing conditions of im- 
 maculate nature, such as health and happiness ; 
 in the other instance the production is denser. 
 One may be physically creative or Omni-cre- 
 ative as he desires. If acting under the Law or 
 Spirit, all results of contact, he it physical or 
 mental, unll be immaculate; if under the law of 
 the senses the result is physical and mixed — 
 conceived in adultery, and given birth to as 
 illegitimate. 
 
 It is possible to impregnate a mental chalice 
 irrespective of the distance separating two in- 
 dividuals, if the one but become receptive to the 
 positive force of the other. Thus in mental 
 healing a patient applies to a healer for treat- 
 ment ; the healer immediately begins to project 
 the positive thought into his or her mental 
 matrix — the mind — which is negative, that is, 
 receptive, or it would not seek aid. If the pa- 
 tient be in perfect agreement or en rapport with 
 the healer, the projected thought, as health or 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 87 
 
 success, becomes manifest; the negative mind 
 becomes pregnant with the "I AM" conscious- 
 ness spoken to it by a more positive mind. 
 
 The mystery of instantaneous healing lies 
 in understanding the sex-law. Only a well- 
 sexed individual may ever hope to become a 
 healer in every sense of the word. Where refer- 
 ence is made to a well-sexed individual, the 
 meaning we wish to convey is, that the indi- 
 vidual be possessed of a strong love nature, 
 in complete balance or guidance, and knowing 
 where to place his wonderful gift of creative 
 power. It is a demonstrable fact that this power 
 may be used as a more tangible form of sub- 
 stance is used ; either man or woman may learn 
 to handle it through righteous thought, having 
 a purpose in view. 
 
 For instance, while in a creative mood, in- 
 stead of seeking a physical embrace, direct the 
 attention to that which you wish to make mani- 
 fest. If it be writing, then turn all this wonder- 
 ful force into the book. What will be the re- 
 sult? This, that when the book is read and 
 pondered over, souls will become awakened 
 and wonder what it is that holds the attention. 
 This is often done unconsciously by poets and 
 writers, but when done consciously, the words 
 written therein carry double the weight of 
 
88 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 fascinating power. This force should never 
 be suppressed, neither should self-indulgence 
 be the ultimate. Learn to use it as any other 
 power is used — in truth there is no other power. 
 And every successful undertaking is the result 
 of sex-potency. 
 
 4* 4* 4* 
 
 HIS is the dawn of the golden age, 
 and there be a few souls standing 
 ready to proclaim this wonderful 
 truth — that all power is withiii the 
 possibility of Man — nothing impossible. No 
 desire Man ever had, need prove unexperi- 
 enced or unfruitful, for in all cases the eternal 
 Good is the basis of Q\ery wish. No matter 
 what the guise or aspect of the experience, ful- 
 fillment of desire rests with absolute certainty 
 as the fundamental of every longing, wish or 
 dream. There are some souls who can tell the 
 world that dreams are true, and that longings 
 are founded upon existence; for no one longs 
 for that which has neither existence nor the 
 possibility of existence. 
 
 Man is limited in power only as he is ignor- 
 ant or fails to recognize his Divine origin. It 
 seems strange that up to the present time he 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 89 
 
 should have known so Uttle concerning him- 
 self as a Divine Principle. ''A^Ian know thy- 
 self" is the oldest, and the most mystical com- 
 mand ever given! Man's life, yea, all life is 
 eternal, but having failed to accept this eternal 
 truth as a whole, he has failed to prolong his 
 life according to his eternal desire ! 
 
 Reason proves this to be true, and the 
 ancient saying as well : In the beginning of 
 creation Man Was. The end thereof is Man — 
 there is only man! Which, properly defined, 
 means being^ or that conscious, thinking, all 
 knowing motor of which all things are. Every- 
 thing, speaking in the Absolute, is man ! 
 Nothing is more eternal, since he has always 
 existed. He is greater than the planets which 
 he has been shaping — he is but the name for the 
 greatest expression of the Life Principle every- 
 where present. Man has not fully known him- 
 self ; and therefore has not been able to repro- 
 duce himself in the likeness and image of Love, 
 of which substance he is truly and eternally 
 fashioned ! 
 
go THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 T is a fixed law in mental evo- 
 lution that perception takes place 
 through conception. Conception 
 precedes perception just as im- 
 pression precedes expression. Physical law- 
 exists as the effect of mentality. The worker 
 of miracles is simply a Master metaphysician; 
 one who is acquainted with creative or sex 
 power through ages of searching and rigid ex- 
 perience. The adept, understanding the ways 
 of magic, is but a mental artist in control of 
 universal energy through consciousness of the 
 power that Is — Sex Law ! 
 
 As has been previously said, there is nothing 
 impossible. No one can entertain thoughts of 
 that which never was, nor perceive that which 
 is not already in existence. There is no imagina- 
 tion save the uprolling of images of that which 
 was, is, or will be. The fact that at times we 
 have had dim scintillations of things wonderful 
 and afar off, is proof enough of their exist- 
 ence. Greater knowledge and clearer percep- 
 tion will bring them into plain and near view, 
 just as walking toward a distantly perceived 
 object will bring us in touch with it. The fact 
 that the Elixir of Life has been dreamt of 
 proves its existence. 
 
 Would*st draw nearer to it ? Would'st use 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 9I 
 
 it ? Then know that by training of desire, by 
 educating it, by walking toward it, wilt thou 
 reach it and attain the highest accomplishment ! 
 
 GREAT Light may be shut out or 
 increased into a greater effulgence 
 by the exercised power of Desire 
 and Will Man and Woman may 
 guide and direct the forces of the body, con- 
 verting them at will, into infinite or finite ex- 
 pression ; they must both first knozv what they 
 want, then deliberately create it. Both are ab- 
 solute in their mastership of force and sub- 
 stance, but the manner of use determines the 
 result. Physical or mental expression of cre- 
 ative force, comes by the transmutation of 
 sexual energy into life. If physical progeny is 
 the purpose of sexual union, then agree to that 
 and create after fleshly form and likeness ! If 
 the desired conception be of infinite nature, then 
 do not bring the sex substance into existence, 
 for if formed and expelled it creates only finite 
 things. 
 
 On the human plane where everything is 
 transitional there is little or no control of force ; 
 but on the infinite plane where everything con- 
 
92 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 nected with activity is eternal, there is possi- 
 biHty of complete mastery by the aid of the 
 Will, and physical substance need not be gen- 
 erated. But the seminal force will be generated, 
 as desired. This force, forbidden to take the 
 form of physical substance, then turns inward 
 instead of outward, permeating the entire force- 
 generating system. 
 
 As far as Man is concerned the problem of 
 perpetual motion is hereby solved. At this 
 point of realization all physical desire is trans- 
 formed into ethereal essence. It appears in 
 the being as strength, renewed vitality, eternal 
 youth and everlasting life for both actors, male 
 and female, and as a heavenly reward for over- 
 coming- hell.

 ERFECT interaction between Man 
 and Woman depends upon the dis- 
 semination and sanctification of 
 Love. There is but one way of 
 dissemination, as all things rotate about a cen- 
 tre or vortical nucleus. There is but one mode 
 of action, and united, man and woman consti- 
 tute this nucleus or centre around which all 
 things circle. This centre is a vortex, where 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 93 
 
 the projective vorticle is involved in its recep- 
 tive matrix. The cause within every effect is 
 seminal projection. By yielding to it, all things 
 eventually revolve in vortical motion. Every 
 action of nature, or every movement of the 
 atoms of the body, is vortical or seminal in 
 action; that is, the positive vortical is forever 
 entering the negative matrix. 
 
 When things were void and chaos, the 
 masculine and feminine forces united at given 
 points in seminal activity, producing by the 
 union an all attracting vortex. At the point of 
 centralization in Man's body a vortex is formed 
 naturally. All things are relative to this vor- 
 tex, it being absolute. All things tend naturally 
 toward absoluteness, therefore relative things 
 gather in a seminal motion into the vortices — 
 each vortex attracting all within its own sphere. 
 This sphere is limited only by other vortices. 
 
 Suns, planets, globes were thus gathered 
 into compactness from uncompactness. Man 
 is centralized at that point where the seminal 
 motion is the strongest ; this point is the vortex 
 through the motion of which he attains to all 
 things. To this vortex all smaller vortices are 
 relative and subservient. The principal vortex 
 is, of course, located in his sex functioning. In 
 this vortex he exists and has all life — he is it ! 
 
94 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 His attractive power is limited only by the at- 
 tracting power of others; were it not so, the 
 Universe would be unbalanced. 
 
 The attracting power of any particular de- 
 sire depends upon what degree this desire is 
 warmed and nourished within the vortex of 
 seminal motion. If one's desire is permeated 
 wholly with the seminal motion or sex nature, 
 the desire can never fail to be objectified. 
 
 The lesser vortices in man's body are also 
 caused by the seminal motion. Eating is a semi- 
 nal process; the saliva corresponds to the seed 
 and is caused by the desire for food, just as the 
 seminal seed is created by sexual desire. The 
 saliva permeating the food (bread) the whole 
 is absorbed by the body; the body in this case 
 being the result. 
 
 By observation, Man may learn the nature 
 of his seminal Yortex and thus become con- 
 scious of its operations. As long as he is not 
 conscious of its nature and mode of working, 
 he cannot master it, and as long as it remains 
 unmastered he is under the dominance of the 
 law of generation. But as soon as it becomes 
 dominated by Man himself, it may be used as 
 the only effective instrument of regeneration. 
 
 This is the difference between conscious and 
 unconscious possession of infinite force. 
 
SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 95 
 
 HE Law of Love is the Law of 
 Generation as well as of Regener- 
 ation. Only the Man or Woman 
 who has loved can elevate them- 
 selves to the plane w^here the accomplish- 
 ment of transmutation is verified. The Fire of 
 Love purifies and regenerates no matter upon 
 what plane it is manifested. With love comes 
 wisdom and understanding. Without wisdom 
 and understanding the forces work blindly. 
 But when man has become a conscious vortical 
 centre, all things will rotate around him ready 
 for his absorption ; and there will be no limit to 
 his absorbing power, because of his wisdom 
 and understanding. 
 
 As we grow wiser, we must necessarily 
 grow purer. With purity comes sweetness of 
 character, and with this sweetness of character 
 comes the strength which enables the soul to 
 carry out its noblest and holiest purpose. The 
 moment the heart is stirred into an expression 
 of itself, that moment is it led toward a higher 
 existence ; because there is no experience which 
 opens the door of the soul so universally as the 
 experience of love. We are never the same 
 after having entered the door leading to its 
 sacred precincts. 
 
 There may be many who do not understand 
 
9t) THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 this law of wisdom, and who are content to Hve 
 under the ban of outer law ; but there are also 
 those who do understand the law of re-creation. 
 Perceiving that which lies in the beyond, they 
 move on from transmutation to transfiguration 
 — from the valley to the heights. Some day it 
 v^ill dawn upon the many that the law of man 
 is not the Law of God, and that the soul con- 
 stantly strives to keep His Law, which is the 
 Gospel. For as Jesus, the Christ, explains, that 
 other Law% that of Moses, was given because 
 of the ''hardness of hearts." 
 
 As generation is a fact, so is regeneration a 
 truth. Both are to be interpreted on the same 
 plane as relative to the body. That which be- 
 longs to the body, creation and re-creation, be- 
 longs to it because the impelling power behind 
 it is the Ego desiring expression. If there 
 were no egos crowding space, then there would 
 be no births. When Man and Woman demand 
 for themselves re-birth, regeneration, spiritual- 
 ized bodies, then will they have the power to 
 give birth to that which they have not yet 
 dreamed of. Thcv will bring forth themselves, 
 or they will bring forth spiritual bodies for 
 souls ready to enter them. 
 
 The first principle of Love is attraction. 
 Primarily, attraction manifests along physical 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 97 
 
 lines, and later it possesses through intelligence. 
 Physical attraction is beautiful and binds for a 
 time, but it will lose its power and charm un- 
 less the spirit of intelligence also possesses. 
 Then the charm deepens, and k is expressed on 
 all planes in the wonderful Thing called Love. 
 All primitive ideas vanish, and behold, we float 
 in infinite knowledge! 
 
 HE purely idealistic mind, robbed 
 of the physical idea of sexual in- 
 terchange, can alone prove the 
 controlling and re-creating power 
 of physical substance. The regenerate, or re- 
 born soul, has the seed of life under direct and 
 conscious guidance. One who is born again, 
 transforms the seed into that substance whereof 
 it cannot be said that there is any "spilling of 
 blood upon the ground." The creation of semi- 
 nal fluid is unnecessary except for the creation 
 of finite beings. The life-essence, which is 
 spirit substance, creates through the medium 
 of the mentality. And the creation is the Word 
 made manifest. When this Life-essence is not 
 desired for pro-creation, then it should not be 
 secreted. Secretion can be prevented by taking 
 
98 T^iE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 the positive or affirmative attitude that the 
 Life-essence be used for re-generation — new 
 LIFE — and for no other purpose. Then it will 
 be impossible to bring into action anything but 
 the Spirit of it. Allow this thought to possess 
 you to the crucifixion of every lesser thought, 
 and you will have gained the victory over 
 death ! 
 
 There is rhythm and power in the infinite 
 expression of sexual interchange. Soul meets 
 soul, and the touch of bodies proves of soulful 
 profit. Woman dwells on the All-Good; Man 
 is divinely poised, conscious only of the two 
 souls becoming one in activity. Both perceive 
 the process of regeneration, and embrace in the 
 ecstacy of celestial knowledge, for Love only 
 rules. The mind is disrobed of all incipient 
 thought, and almighty truth, as Absolute Exist- 
 ence, stands revealed as Divine Love. Tlius is 
 Love Divine ! 
 
 The statement, ''Keep your lamp trimmed 
 and burning" — that is, the sexual Fire ever 
 kindled — is true of the Bride as well as the 
 Bridegroom ! Both must ever keep creative — 
 ever keep the power of love complete ! But the 
 Bridegroom, lesi the Bride enter his presence 
 and desire his caress, should be free, and so 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 99 
 
 poised that no foreign thought can enter his 
 realm and deplete his energy. 
 
 Man should always endeavor to teach and 
 hold the attention of the woman he loves; he 
 should forever interest her, and seek to mon- 
 opolize her by divine attention and through the 
 channel of righteous thought. He should so 
 adore her and so highly prize her abandon- 
 ment, that he would suffer crucifixion rather 
 than fail to ascend to her desire which, in sub- 
 stance, is her freedom. He is only concerned 
 with liberating her, that is, loving her to the 
 degree that she beholds her own freedom ; then 
 will she come into perfect liberty through self- 
 abandonment. But unless she finds her Lord 
 ever masterful — ever ready to carry her with 
 him into the winged realms, she neither will 
 nor can abandon herself. 
 
 To be masterful means to be filled with ce- 
 lestial desire, not lust. The latter is stigma- 
 tized by an everlasting curse! It belongs to 
 the animals, not to men !

 HERE is but one active principle in 
 the world. It matters not its 
 manifestation; it may appear as 
 electricity or any motor power, as 
 steam in the engine, heat in the sunshine, or 
 fire in the cooking stove ; it may be cohesion, at- 
 traction, life, love, animal passion, or that 
 subtle Law of Nature called God — but in 
 human kind it appears as sex-energy — Cre- 
 ativeness! The more God-like the man the 
 more creative and more alive with energy is he. 
 Nature is the manifestation of this power. 
 And when this is fully comprehended, apparent 
 mysteries cease to be. All phenomena are latent 
 in the One Power of creativeness. A perfect 
 understanding of this would readily bring all 
 minds to a universal view-point. We have 
 been taught to-day to see good or god in 
 everything and so to insure power. Sex-energy 
 should be recognized in all things ; in the vital 
 essence of food, in the water we drink. Sleep 
 for sexual strength, and awake on the morrow 
 with sexual poise, mentally creative; walk, ob- 
 serving sex power in the air breathed ! Love 
 is everywhere, ever waiting a supreme recog- 
 nition, and the more it is observed in actual 
 every day life, the more vigorous will man be- 
 come in its correct and divine application.

 The perfume of the plant is its life essence ; 
 the thrill of love is the bird's call-note. 
 Through its fragrance the flower makes itself 
 known while afar off, and while yet impossible 
 to behold its contour and color ; the forest song- 
 ster tells its name through the cadence of its 
 call. The name of the plant is engrafted on 
 the mind by its perfume; the sex of the bird 
 is known by its song. So is the soul known 
 by its fragrant life, and through that divinest 
 experience v/hich attunes it to its environment. 
 
 The soul is like unto the ^olian harp. It 
 remains silent until touched into harmonious 
 action by the breeze of Love. The essence of 
 all things lies dormant and unmoved until 
 awakened by the sound of the word. Nor 
 could all the spices brought to the tomb of the 
 Lord send out their perfume and cleansing 
 power until the Spirit of Woman's love 
 breathed into them the power of resurrection.

102 . THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 ET US picture here a wonderful 
 meeting, accompanied by circum- 
 stances that never before or since 
 characterized the tryst of mortals : 
 
 A Man and Woman stand, in the first dawn 
 of day, near a rock-bound tomb half hidden by 
 heavy foliage of camphor trees, pomegranate 
 blossoms and budding vine stalks. They are 
 alone, save for the presence of angels. The per- 
 fume of spices permeate the atmosphere. Hard 
 by arises the rocky crown that outlines the ele- 
 vation called "the place of the skull." 
 
 The place is a Garden where palm trees 
 wave their feathery tops in rhythm with the 
 minor note of the dove; where from out the 
 thick tangle of orient shrubbery thrills the 
 'Svaking songs of little birds." All things seem 
 to breathe harmony, even as the strains that 
 vibrate in this Man's soul and in the heart of 
 the Woman. 
 
 The time is early morning and the dew still 
 lingers on plain and flower. The season is 
 Spring-time — the time of awakening — when 
 the world is filled with the glory of life — the 
 budding energies of love. 
 
 The face of the Woman is marked with 
 traces of heart-breaking agony, for there are 
 moments of regeneration when one's outer 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE IO3 
 
 frame is torn by storms though the inner be 
 tranquil in power. Her body is bent in rever- 
 ence. Her outstretched arms are tense. Her 
 sweet Hps tremble with eager desire to kiss the 
 hem of His garment. The careless grace of her 
 dress indicates mental abstraction. Her hair 
 is blown and disarranged by the spring winds ; 
 for she has hurried forth "while it was yet 
 dark/* along the paved way, over the hill that 
 led to the Garden. 
 
 The world lay at her feet, below her. Yet 
 she heeded it not. Her thought was upon the 
 Beloved. Her care was to bring spices, frankin- 
 cense and myrrh to sweeten the place where her 
 Lord lay. Her object was to complete the re- 
 demption of the Man- Jesus, by offering her 
 life-giving energy. 
 
 HE spices, frankincense and myrrh 
 
 which the woman bore to the 
 
 tomb, suggest sweetness, loving 
 
 affection and an atmosphere of 
 
 harmonious fragrance. 
 
 Some spices are bitter. This reveals the 
 sweetness of bitterness, of that bitterness 
 through which the soul has found peace — at- 
 
104 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 one-ment with itself. This meaning of bitter- 
 ness has its own sensitive appHcation, known 
 and applied only by those who have come into a 
 faint comprehension of what at-one-ment is. 
 
 Myrrh, having always been used for em- 
 balming purposes, suggests the preservation of 
 that which fills the heart after selfishness is 
 dead; after it has become softened and sweet- 
 ened by having known the joy of sorrow ; after 
 having bent under the cross; after having 
 known desolation. Souls thus experienced, 
 show through the countenance, evidence of 
 having died to a lesser concept, that a greater 
 possibility might come into expression. 
 
 The fragrance of frankincense is made man- 
 ifest by the touch of fire, and from the burning 
 powder arises a cloud of aromatic sweetness 
 like unto the aura which surrounds the chast- 
 ened heart — the heart that *'hath suffered itself 
 to become beautiful." Thus will come forth 
 the sweetness and strength of love when 
 touched by the fire of passion. 
 
 * * * 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE IO5 
 
 HROUGH tears that dimmed her 
 sight, the Woman beheld His 
 form ; and heard His voice : "Why 
 weep' St thou, oh, Woman?" And 
 when she would have clasped His knees in 
 worship, kissed His garment, flung herself at 
 His feet, He stepped aside, drew Himself to 
 greater heights, lifted His hand with warning 
 movement and said : "Touch Me Not ; I have 
 not yet ascended unto my Father." These 
 words impress pathos upon the heart. They 
 are written in a language whose alphabet the 
 world is but stammering through ; a tongue of 
 silent, longing desire ; a desire unsatisfied until 
 the majesty of the unity of forces be fully 
 known and felt. 
 
 Awed by the mystery of the words, stayed 
 by the depths of His action — the Woman 
 moved not ! Then raising His voice in sweet- 
 est melody — accents of Love — He said : 
 
 "I am not yet arisen to my Father; but go 
 to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend 
 unto my Father, and to your Father; and to 
 my God and to your God." 
 
 Why must this Man not be touched ? Had 
 he not yet finished that which had been given 
 Him to do? Had He not yet completed the 
 victory over himself? Had he not so mastered 
 
I06 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 himself that He could withstand the touch of 
 the Woman? Was He not yet sure of his own 
 potent nature? Did He so lack assurance of 
 His own power, that He feared disintegration, 
 should He be touched at that moment ? 
 
 He may have been so highly sensitized that 
 even the touch of one He loved might hindei 
 the work He had yet to do. His spirit may 
 have longed for solitude yet a little while, be- 
 fore entering upon His last work. His soul 
 may have craved it that He might be sure He 
 could never be tempted or mastered by a desire 
 external to Himself. He sought isolation by 
 sending the Woman on the greater errand — 
 the announcement of the Resurrection! 
 
 * * * 
 
 AviNG entered into communion 
 with the saints ; having slept the 
 sleep of transition ; having talked 
 with the angels ; having walked 
 hand and hand with the Father, and again 
 awakened to the consciousness of earth-life, it 
 may be that the soul is so extremely sensitized 
 as to bid those nearest and those most loved, 
 "Be still! Let me rest! Disturb me not until 
 this task be finished ! I have not yet entered 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE IO7 
 
 into the full victory of that which is for me to 
 do — until this be done — Touch me not V 
 
 It is evident that the Man had one more 
 triumph to v/hich He must attain, one more 
 step to take in the completing process, one more 
 initiation to pass through, ere His fleshly body 
 could be so transmuted in quality that it might 
 become an absolute manifestation of Spirit. He 
 was too sensitive to come in contact with that 
 which was not as infinitely attuned as Himself. 
 He sought to be alone for a space of time, that 
 His victory over the flesh and the grave might 
 become so complete that all men would forever 
 heed it! 
 
 Both Man and Woman must often tread 
 the wine-press alone, until the immortal work — 
 redemption of the body — is accomplished. And 
 yet, in that isolation each are eternally a part 
 of the other and of the Whole. 
 
 The strength of this Man in His unswerv- 
 ing devotion to the highest, in His determina- 
 tion to overcome disintegration, is to be infi- 
 nitely imitated. Yet who is willing to get so near 
 the Self as to become isolated ? For the nearer 
 the at-one-ment, the fewer are the followers; 
 until like Him we look around and find we are 
 treading the wine-press alone ; disciples asleep ; 
 followers far below, at the foot of the mount. 
 
I08 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 Those who are true to themselves will often 
 be left alone. As this Man entered the golden 
 gates of immortality, the crowd had fallen 
 away, there was no guard on watch, no dis- 
 ciples near — none other, save Her who had 
 been glorified ! 
 
 Woman, in her love for him, reaches out to 
 help Man as he arises from the tomb. The 
 Divine and Living Man, knowing Woman's 
 potency, will command her silence, lest he fail 
 to master her love. He bids her wait yet a 
 little while, until he indraws and gathers his 
 creative energy into greater projectiveness. 
 And he bids her carry a message ! To lead him 
 and his followers unto the heavenly heights 
 and on through the Golden Gates of Eternal 
 Life! Without this waiting messenger, with- 
 out this Woman at the tomb, this ALin could 
 not have completed His redemption. 
 
 cvj* ej« cj* 
 
 HERE are periods in the existence of 
 all things, whether vegetable, ani- 
 mal or human, when moments of 
 rest are necessary. For man it 
 is a time of meditation — a time of self-revela- 
 tion. Alone with God ! A time when perfect 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE lOQ 
 
 isolation and quiet is required that tlie spirit of 
 God — the Hfe essence — may become so trans- 
 muted that the highest Word may be spoken. 
 
 Resting infinitely — divinely asleep! In 
 these moments, with only the Fire of Life shin- 
 ing forth through the open door of the tomb, 
 the soul grows and unfolds; coming into the 
 wonderful realization of its own bi-unity, as it 
 steps forth from the tomb of material con- 
 ditions. It is in the stillness of these moments 
 that Man and Woman, in silent communion, do 
 their greatest work. It is then they dwell most 
 fully in the consciousness of their Oneness. 
 
 Through self-revelation comes redemption. 
 Revelation is born by the recognition of our 
 own power to redeem; redemption becomes 
 fully revealed through self-recognition. Such 
 revelation comes after an entire surrender to a 
 greater concept of Being; by entering into the 
 vibration that kindles life into every latent 
 atom, sets in action every physical activity. 
 
 Divine revelation comes through the action 
 of the love that exists between the masculine 
 and feminine spirit. No matter what guise 
 it may assum.e — love is, and throughout eter- 
 nity will reveal to the soul a greater and yet 
 greater view of itself. Illumination lights the 
 path of revelation; obedience to the command 
 
no THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 of carrying a message brings revelation. And 
 as we hasten along the path which seems to 
 lead us away from our Beloved, the prayer for 
 deliverance that goes up from the heart is 
 answered by a divine revelation. 
 
 When once this revelation is received, the 
 Law of Sex will be known as the Source of all 
 Law. Then will Man and Woman ascend to- 
 gether into the consciousness of the Father. 
 They will enter without fear into the com- 
 munion of the perfect marriage. The I — the 
 creative spirit — will be lifted up, until high in 
 the heavens of attainment, it will attract all 
 things. 
 
 The I here means the serpent, or lower 
 nature of man. It will be transformed or ele- 
 vated to that degree that it will draw all things 
 unto itself, by assimilation; in the progression 
 of the regenerate life, the higher or purified 
 substance will attract all lower elements. This 
 activity is represented by the well-known sym- 
 bol of the serpent swallowing its tail — which, 
 when interpreted, means that which is the Most 
 High consumes and vitalizes things below.

 LL expression is the product of 
 Spirit. There is only Spirit; it 
 embodies the male and female 
 potency — thus sex is spirit ever 
 expressing itself in Man and Woman. Man is 
 born into a divided, fleshly appearance; but 
 when God doth fully appear to mankind there 
 is neither male nor female. In spirit there is 
 no such thing as gender, only the neutral I 
 which is Creative Power. 
 
 The best idea that humanity entertains of 
 divine Creativeness, is like a primary draw- 
 ing of a student in the early stages of practice. 
 The outward, divided expression of God as 
 Man and Woman, is the representation of the 
 rudimentary, unregenerate idea of creation. It 
 is the incomplete picturing of Omnipotence; a 
 condition of immature thought out of which is 
 evolved the infinite and boundless conception 
 wherefrom is "pressed out" greater power, 
 more sublime energy, and a poise that be- 
 tokens nothing less than the Christ incarnate. 
 Sex exchange, through misuse, has been 
 fraught with destruction, tears and tribulations. 
 It is not possible to suffer from the use of any 
 power; it is only from misuse that suffering 
 comes. Water is a most refreshing and stimu-

 lating element when properly used, but by mis- 
 using it man may be annihilated from earth. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 T takes intelligence to live properly, 
 be free and enjoy life. Any one 
 can half way live, but to live fully 
 and well is an art. To live scien- 
 tifically is to live in the realization of the pure 
 and true. This realization comes by dwelling 
 in the realm of the Absolute. This realm is 
 pregnant with the germ of eternal life — the 
 seed of salvation. 
 
 Two people, in exercising the creative func- 
 tioning, may by right thinking obtain the high- 
 est results in a renewed body and fresh zeal. 
 It is misapplied sex-law that brings disease 
 and impotency. The contact of masculine and 
 feminine elements is fruitful of most bitter or 
 most beneficial result; hence the necessity of 
 intelligent and right direction of sex force, by 
 proper thought. If the purpose of this contact 
 be physical progeny, then let the coming gen- 
 eration have a fair opportunity to live well, by 
 putting such force and intelligence in the con- 
 ception as to endow them with reasonable 
 energy at birth. If the idea be based upon 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE II3 
 
 magnetic exchange of life-essence only, then 
 fill your soul with the s^Diritual love of your 
 companion, and no physical substance will be 
 formed or appear. This is achieved by the im- 
 maculate, unmixed thought of the individuals. 
 For there being but one power, that of spirit, 
 there is but one agent for the transmitting of 
 its power — the vehicle of thought. Thought 
 (Thoth) is Spirit. Creative power rightly 
 cared for and directed will bring any condition, 
 or any expression of power as accomplishment. 
 But should the organs of this creative power 
 be disregarded or condemned, they naturally 
 suffer from such negativity as any other 
 function of the body suffers from lack of proper 
 attention.

 HEN man and woman lift them- 
 selves above the venomous think- 
 ing of the world regarding sex 
 relations, and behold all relation- 
 ship pure, good and true, then w^ill the serpent 
 be lifted up in the v/ilderness, and all v/ho be- 
 hold the transformation v\'i11 no longer suffer 
 from poisonous effects. 
 
 It is through the use of faculties and func- 
 
1 14 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 tions, no matter how ignorantly exercised, that 
 the lessons of knowledge are learned concern- 
 ing their wise and well-governed use. Any 
 appetite may be overfed until it becomes ab- 
 normal or impotent in its functionating proper- 
 ties. The generative organs must necessarily 
 be guided and taught the art of generating 
 life-force, instead of creating physical sub- 
 stance. Those who wish to use the life-essence 
 for the sole purpose of regeneration, must, as 
 hinted, prevent the formation of physical sub- 
 stance. 
 
 The male germ is in the process of forma- 
 tion, while the thought is directed to the sex 
 organs in the desire of sex contact. And as 
 long as physical substance is generated, some 
 kind of physical culmination will take place. 
 In the case of bodily contact, nothmg of such 
 physical nature should pass between those who 
 are engaged in it for the sake of regeneration. 
 
 Hold fast the ideal thought of greater life 
 and love; this thought may flow through the 
 whole body as an immaterial substance, if cen- 
 tred on the union of souls, thus directing the 
 mind from physical conditions into the realiza- 
 tion that every atom of the body is sexed in 
 conjunction with the mate, and in conjunction 
 with the primal cause of all sex functioning. 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE II5 
 
 'OMAN has more and greater power 
 in the creative act than man, be- 
 cause of her intense and maternal 
 nature. When the power of love 
 is allowed to flow freely through the loving 
 soul of woman, it is impossible to realize to 
 what intense and harmonious pitch her soul 
 may be aroused. She is a most sensitive and 
 magnificent instrument in the hands of man; 
 and when the sexual relationship is entered 
 into as something divine, as celestial, she is 
 capable of evolving the most supernal energies 
 of the Universe. Therefore the wise man will 
 not enter where he is not wanted, nor be so 
 "blindly foolish as to attend the funeral of his 
 own joy!'' 
 
 Man is inwardly negative and outwardly 
 positive; woman is inwardly positive and out- 
 wardly negative. As long as mankind is in 
 a state of unfoldment, the world is in an un- 
 balanced condition : woman, in expression more 
 negative than positive, and man more positive 
 than negative. As far as woman is life-giving 
 she is positive; as life-spending man is nega- 
 tive! Woman will give her Hfe, if necessary, 
 to vivify something else; she takes on any 
 negative condition that man throws off. To 
 equalize conditions between them man must 
 
Il6 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 grow up to her inward positive nature, and 
 she must meet him half way; in so doing they 
 will become equalized. Man knows not of rest 
 until woman satisfies his positive nature; and, 
 unless she pleases him, he has not the power 
 to charm her. 
 
 It is well for the sexes to labor in company, 
 for by so doing the positive and negative forces 
 are exchanged in loving and healing vibra- 
 tions. The sex problem is at the basis of all 
 life and manifestation, and it must be solved 
 individually before it can be taught universally. 
 
 Generation must be, in order that regenera- 
 tion may be.

 LTiiouGii the brain finds its home 
 in the skull, it really occupies 
 every bodily atom. Each cell- 
 atom has folded within its com- 
 pass its own little brain which is worthy of 
 notice, for it possesses attributes both positive 
 and negative, masculine and feminine, and cm- 
 bodies the All in embryo. This brain is formed 
 by the activity of spirit substance, and gov- 
 erned by either vibration or sensation. Every 
 cell contains a nucleus of its own. 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 1 17 
 
 Sensation has much to do with the gov- 
 erning of this brain or nucleus, as well as the 
 different parts of the system ; but vibration, or 
 thought activity, influences the whole organism. 
 The distinction between sensation and vibra- 
 tion is so subtle that one is apt to use the terms 
 synonymously. Sensation is the consciousness 
 aroused by the contact of sensory organs with 
 something-. Sex-sensation is the voluptuous 
 consciousness of being in active physical touch 
 with the. opposite sex. The sensation thus 
 aroused may become a vibration by being 
 stored, cherished, and cultivated in the heart. 
 Sensations of love kept fresh in the heart and 
 nurtured there, will produce the most perfect 
 vibratory activity, and give poise to the en- 
 tire system. 
 
 (^ e^* e^%) 
 
 IVERY atom of the 1)ody is intelli- 
 gent, yea, every atom has an in- 
 telligence of its own and unto 
 itself. Not only so, but every 
 atom of the Universe has an intelligence; and 
 the only difference between the intelligence of 
 man and that of a tad-pole, is in its rate of vi- 
 bration. The one lias evolved into a more rapid 
 
Il8 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 and powerful vibratory motion than the other. 
 
 However, intelligence is One, and all mani- 
 festation partakes of its life-giving power, ac- 
 cording to its stage of evolution. Every ego 
 is caused by thought activity which is vibration 
 generated from a centre. It goes forth in un- 
 dulating motion, retaining unto itself, as it 
 'proceeds, the essence of intelligence, and of this 
 essence it gathers more and more after the 
 point of involution is passed. 
 
 Since everything is caused by vibration, and 
 vibration is generated in the silence or centre, 
 it is to be concluded that in this silence the 
 balancing condition is to be evolved. The 
 nearer we get to the centre the better view and 
 control do we have of the circumference. In the 
 silence is the centre found, and in all stillness 
 the Universe came into manifestation. In still- 
 ness are the greatest things conceived and 
 brought forth ; through vibratory currents and 
 not in noisy sensation. 
 
 In order to enter this stillness while in love 
 communion, it is necessary that the mind be 
 poised, free from all care and concern, in per- 
 fect liberty and love. This is necessary that the 
 ideal ultimate of the union, be it material or 
 spiritual, may be reached, and tliat the attend- 
 ing consciousness of peace and power be at- 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 1 19 
 
 tained. This consciousness liberates the soul. 
 When it is reached, the personality is also ele- 
 vated to such supernal heights, that one will 
 lose sight of any bondage sensed in a lower alti- 
 tude of mind. Made Omnipotent in love, the 
 thought of perfect mastery will possess the 
 two, and they will come forth from the experi- 
 ence a god and a goddess. While in com- 
 munion, each should be poised in the love of 
 the other and in the one ideal thought : Love 
 Is! Perfection and profit cannot be attained 
 unless the two minds be united in purity — 
 Love complete. 
 
 This can be attained only by concentrated 
 thought and the desire for the highest; for a 
 realization of Everlasting Life, promised to 
 those who overcome. Be the purpose spiritual, 
 the moment will be one of ecstacy with no 
 substance materialized or expressed, but all 
 etherealized. If the lower conception of crea- 
 tion be perfectly mastered and every idea of 
 animality and crude suggestion be eliminated, 
 there remains but the higher conception and the 
 most beautiful manifestation of the sexual 
 power. 
 
 When this secret is learned : to enter the 
 chalice of love in absolute stillness and silence, 
 
120 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 the two are then capable of transmuting every 
 bodily atom into a higher expression of life. 
 
 But if this stillness has not been found and 
 entered, let the affirmation of dominant power 
 and right to rule the body prevail in everyday 
 life. This thought will gradually develop phy- 
 sical and mental poise, and little by little the 
 power to transmute physical substance into 
 ethereal form of life will be acquired. The di- 
 vine idea of the transcendental should be main- 
 tained and sustained by the divinitv of will.

 HE mind is moved into thinking ac- 
 tivity by the essential Fire. What 
 Life is; what the nucleus of the 
 cell is ; what the spirit of the grain 
 is; what the soul (^f the water is; what the vi- 
 tality of the air is — is all (jne and the same, the 
 Fire of Love! 
 
 The water and the grain united, manifest 
 tlic Wine that exhilarates. The soul of tlie 
 water and the fiery energy of the grain touch, 
 strike fire, as steel and flint, and lo : the spark- 
 ling wine! — the spirit of the two has become 
 one substance. 
 
 The desire to drink of the stimulating es- 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 121 
 
 sence is inborn in every soul. It manifests as a 
 restless, yearning desire. What a feast for 
 the soul when those drops of life are poured 
 upon her lips ! 
 
 Nothing causes man to indulge in an ex- 
 cess of strong drink so quickly as a disappointed 
 love, or the failure on the part of the one loved 
 to satisfy the intensity of one's love nature. 
 This gives a hint at the correspondence between 
 the excess of desire, suppressed emotion, and 
 indulgence of the appetite for strong drink. 
 The fire of the wine or liquor usurps and dulls 
 the bodily organs, so that the soul is dethroned 
 and her faculties for expression are rendered 
 impotent. In such a state man might as well 
 die. He has drunk of the wrong bottle; the 
 wine he imbibed was not the kind he thirsted 
 for. His real thirst was for the Elixir of Life 
 which, with difficulty and divine determination, 
 is brewed out of bodily and soul substance.

 HE positive organism — the male 
 germ which holds the Fire of 
 Life — has no power to rekindle 
 the flame, except when in union 
 with the receptive organism — the soul-seed of 
 woman. W^ith this union comes the blending of 
 measureless possibilities on both the plane of 
 the manifested and the unmanifested. 
 
 Viewed from any standpoint we must 
 recognize the mighty power held within the 
 creative act — that lever which holds and lifts 
 all sentient life. And we may faintly imagine 
 the awful power necessary to set in motion in 
 the beginning, the boundless and massed 
 chaos, bringing forth a universal symmetry and 
 divine order. 
 
 This great and limitless impulse is the same 
 tliat touches into life the blossoming fruitage 
 of all organisms. It is the same yesterday, to- 
 day and forever; the uncreate Fire that under- 
 lies birth. Flame is not fire, it is but the symbol 
 of that wonderful uncreate and unseen power — 
 the Creator ! Heat is also an outward symbol 
 which, when applied to any relation or experi- 
 ence of body, intellect, soul or spirit, will bring 
 it into full recognition of its Oneness with the 
 Father of All ! 
 
 Fire is divided by alchemists into three 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 123 
 
 kinds : Universal Fire, the Fire of Nature and 
 the Fire kindled upon our hearth; the ele- 
 mentary or crude manifestation of that esoteric 
 Fire the shining forth of whose light is the 
 beginning of all life — in the beginning and of 
 the beginning. This Universal or esoteric Fire 
 is the Fire of Love; that law of attraction 
 which draws the two forces, masculine and 
 feminine, closely together, focusing them into 
 creation and recreation, throughout all mani- 
 festation. All other Fires are but lower forms 
 of this, as all wines of the trade are but lower 
 forms of the One Wine. 
 
 It is very important that no mistake be 
 made !

 HE moment this Fire is lighted, 
 transmutation begins. He who 
 knows how to brew, whose eyes 
 are fixed attentively upon the 
 operation, and whose judgment can tell infal- 
 lably when the process must cease ; who knows 
 when the Fire must be quickened or retarded, 
 how to get the equilibrium established — he un- 
 derstands how to continue transmutation for- 
 ever. Transmutation is the process from crea- 
 
124 T II K MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 tion to recreation, while the Fire of Love burns 
 brightly ! 
 
 The ultimate of this Fire-Love is regenera- 
 tion. Without experiencing the process of 
 transmutation, regeneration cannot be demon- 
 strated or verified. The Fire purifies and 
 cleanses, no matter upon what plane it may 
 burn. It may for the time being seem to debase 
 the soul, but sometime, somewhere in the great 
 progress of evolution the cleansing will be 
 made manifest. 
 
 When the secret interior of the Arcanum of 
 the Heart has been entered, the soul is never 
 again the same, for it has been bathed in the 
 Waters of Life, it has been initiated into the 
 Wisdom of the Ages, and that remains an Ex- 
 perience for all time ! And as one stands 
 at the entrance leading into this Holy Place, it 
 is well to reflect that upon entering it the soul 
 is transformed on the instant and inducted into 
 a higher degree of the Temple. 
 
 To have the highest possible power realized 
 within ourselves, wc must be willing to submit 
 to and endure the action of this inner Fire. 
 Not only willing to endure — but entering 
 yearningly and lovingly into that process of

 HROUGii mental activity, chaste 
 thought directed upward and in- 
 ward, the Water of Life whose 
 natural course is outward, may be 
 raritied and its flow directed inward. Water 
 is sometimes transformed into steam. 
 
 All righteous thoughts and emotions ulti- 
 mately bring harmonious warmth and polariza- 
 tion to physical conditions. The selfishness of 
 man causes a loss of heat and warmth, the re- 
 sult being a cold meaningless expression. The 
 more intense the action the more intense the re- 
 sult. The sensation of heat is the result of 
 the positive and negative coming into contact 
 and equilibrium, and all means of producing 
 heat is but the adaptation of things to this law. 
 The head is the positive force, governed by 
 spiritual law; the feet are negative, dominated 
 by earth conditions— and the center of equili- 
 brium is at the generative organs. 
 
 That which is done by Fire is done by its 
 innate energy. Fire is the master of all the ele- 
 ments. Under its action, water disappears

 either as vapor or as its ultimate solution. The 
 Air disappears, or it remains present as a pois- 
 onous debris. The various elements of earth 
 placed in contact with fire are consumed, or 
 vanish. In all cases the demand of fire upon the 
 formative oxygen is inexorable. No matter 
 what combinations of elements there may be, at 
 the call of fire they at once yield their formed 
 conditions; the oxygen disappears from them 
 into the fire, and a flame is manifested — all be- 
 cause fire is the positive energy.

 LL communication is done by the 
 agency of fire. If we seek to make 
 impression upon the world, or 
 those immediately about us, we 
 must first infuse ourselves with the fire of en- 
 thusiasm which makes thought creative. In 
 other words, we must become self-generators of 
 heat. But this heat must not be allowed to 
 centre upon any one part of the physical organ- 
 ism. If it does, that particular point will be 
 wasted in over-activity. But the fire should be 
 directed so as to permeate the whole body at 
 once. In speaking or writing let the fire glow 
 and thrill through vou, as the words are uttered 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 127 
 
 or written. It will burn down the coldness or 
 indifference of hearers and readers, and make 
 them receptive to your thought projections. 
 
 The generation of heat implies a certain 
 change of elementary conditions of the physi- 
 cal body. This change is difficult of attainment 
 by the Self alone ; but if there be another harmo- 
 nious soul with whom to co-operate, there is a 
 greater reserve to draw from, and the finer 
 forces are not so easily depleted. 
 
 Anyone is powerful enough to move the 
 world, if he knows how to gather himself into 
 harmony and then transfer the generated inter- 
 nal heat to his immediate w^orldly conditions. 
 This power of generated heat is the key to all 
 success in outer life. However, not such an 
 uncontrollable fire is to be kindled that it will 
 scorch and wither, crumble and burn every- 
 thing it touches. 
 
 An iron kettle put into an intense fire is 
 likely to crack, but if warmed slowly and 
 gradually it will endure the highest degree of 
 heat! 
 
 The Fire must be continuous and fed by 
 the Universal Spirit, and so will be kept burn- 
 ing the Philosophical Fire: 
 
128 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 "Desire the Fire, 
 
 Seek for the Fire : 
 
 And you will find the Fire ; 
 
 Kindle a fire, 
 
 Add Fire to Fire, 
 
 Boil the Fire in the Fire, 
 
 Throw Body, Soul and Spirit into the Fire : 
 
 And dead or alive you will possess the Fire, 
 
 This Fire becomes a black, yellow, white and red 
 
 Fire, 
 Give birth to your children while you are in the Fire. 
 Feed, water and nourish them in the Fire ; 
 They will then live and die in the Fire, 
 Their silver and gold turn to Fire. 
 Heaven and earth will perish in the Fire. 
 And at last there will be a four-fold philosophical 
 
 FIRE. 
 
 It is the Celestial Fire!"

 LAXTiXG or engTafting" the seed of 
 immortal life is the work of the 
 gods. To evolve this divine possi- 
 bility is the work of Man. The 
 engrafting is done in the darkness of Exist- 
 ence; the beginning of growth is in the silence 
 of the evolving matrix. In every soul sleeps 
 this seed ; it is the seed of all-knowledge as well 
 as of all other evolved possibilities. That this 
 seed may sprout, grow and blossom, it must be 
 planted in fallow ground and cultivated. As 
 the door of the soul is (opened that the ^un of 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I29 
 
 love may shine into the heart, so will Omnis- 
 cience grow and blossom in the individual 
 consciousness. 
 
 The Universal mind desires vital effect. 
 Desire in Nature is manifested in periods of 
 demand and supply. The Earth, as the Great 
 Mother, demands the Sun's fructifying power. 
 The Sun in his splendor and vital force re- 
 sponds to this demand ; he entereth in, and be- 
 hold, the birth of vegetation ! 
 
 Every need is supplied through desire. The 
 very world depends for its existence upon de- 
 sire. It underlies and is the cause of every in- 
 dividuality. And even individuality is an 
 evolved non-individuality. The individuality 
 is evolved through desire. Through desire the 
 little worm creeps; and through desire for 
 more rapid motion, this same little worm grows 
 wings and flies. The little worm is already an 
 individuality evolved from a non-individuality. 
 But by gaining wings he gains more rapid 
 motion and can live more. Some day, through 
 desire, this m.otion will develop into vibration, 
 while the desire will develop into intellect. De- 
 sire is the fundamental material whereof the 
 intellect is built ; and vibration is but motion in 
 a higher degree. Desire is that faculty in sen- 
 tient beings that longs for more life. As such 
 
130 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 it can never be in the wrong-. It is of the Di- 
 vine Spark in all things, and all higher life de- 
 pends upon it. The most divine expression of 
 it is v^hat is called sexual desire. 
 
 Eternity is the child of the Ever-present, 
 who, mother-like, gives birth to the morrow, 
 and the continued duration of to-day brings 
 the Eternal Day. The darkness calls to the 
 Light for induction, and behold, the birth of 
 day ! All things love attention, and in this 
 desire all souls are equal in possibility. The 
 feminine soul demands to be caressed and vi- 
 talized by the masculine spirit that she may 
 eternally reproduce herself. 
 
 4* 4^ 4* 
 
 VERY effort put forth by Man, yea, 
 by any manifested thing, is a 
 seed and prophecy of what is to be. 
 Every soul is the crown of all its 
 efforts, but the efforts reveal little of the mo- 
 tive; the motive is desire. The crown is of the 
 nature of the ever-receding. One might create 
 Universes, still the soul would crown the crea- 
 tion ! The soul is constantly creating, but is al- 
 ways greater than the creation. Thoughts 
 and deeds of yesterday are not so near perfec- 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I3I 
 
 tion as those of to-day — which means that to- 
 day is nearer to the crown itself than yesterday; 
 yet, eternal truths are the same to-day as yes- 
 terday, only they are not so clearly defined or 
 precisely unfolded. There is the same infinite 
 truth in the clay as in the flower ; still, we love 
 the flower better for its beautiful form of ex- 
 pression, and because it is nearer the crown of 
 Existence. 
 
 HE seed of possibility in the soul is 
 related to, and may be illustrated 
 by the seedling of grain engrafted 
 in soft soil. Man sows the Soul- 
 ar seed of life in the white material or creative 
 feminine substance. The grain must be pre- 
 pared ere it be ready for food ; it must be ground 
 to powder, mixed with water, infused with 
 leaven, and pass through the process of fermen- 
 tation. It must be kneaded, then subjected to 
 heat, before it is bread. 
 
 The soul-ar seed comes forth clothed in flesh 
 and blood, starting out on the great journey 
 which lies before it. It is ever being prepared 
 for this journey, and from beginning to end it 
 desires to proceed, and the desire takes it ever 
 
132 THEMAJESTYOFSEX 
 
 onward step by step. The soul passes through 
 the ''mills of the gods" daily. Like the grain 
 it is ground to powder ere it can be mixed with 
 the proper substance and the leaven dropped 
 into it. 
 
 The leaven of the soul is the spiritual knowl- 
 edge which quickens it into activity; then the 
 formative period, that of kneading, is the next 
 step, and the soul, being plastic, gains its in- 
 dividual expression or form. The intrinsic 
 worth of the soul, as well as of bread, may be 
 determined by the state of fermentation or ac- 
 tivity which it assumes. This fermentation or 
 activity is the preparation for its eternal journey 
 of existence. The Drop of Gold is the seed that 
 leavens the soul. 
 
 In bread-making the component parts are 
 flour and water; the leaven makes it "rise," 
 after which it must be kneaded, formed, placed 
 in the oven and heat applied ; after such prepa- 
 ration it becomes fit for food. Both fire and 
 bread are many times spoken of in ancient liter- 
 ature as coming down from heaven. Both 
 mean the Divine breath. Fire is symbol of the 
 life of spirit, while bread is symbol of the life 
 of flesh. 
 
 The union of masculine and feminine sub- 
 stance is followed by a kind of fermentation 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I33 
 
 from which springs forth manna, or the power 
 of woman to feed man. This substance having 
 been fermented by the golden seed dropped into 
 it — Fire-Love — is at last rendered suitable for 
 food — the Divine Ambrosia ! And the day will 
 come when this food, with one exception, will 
 be sufficient for the resurrected man and woman. 
 This exception is that essence which may be 
 gathered from the finer forces of extraneous 
 Nature and the atmosphere. 
 
 T is a well known truth that by the 
 observance of Nature's law her 
 finer essences may be imbibed, 
 rendering a judicious prolonga- 
 tion of hfe possible. The whole atmosphere is 
 filled with this life giving essence — sex-sub- 
 stance. The odor of the rose, the song of the 
 bird, the merry cry of the child, the laughter 
 of woman, the longing of the soul, the creative 
 energy of mankind announces its potent 
 presence. 
 
 A walk through the verdant vallev or upon 
 the mountain top, discloses the vitality of this 
 life-giving substance. By absorbing it into 
 the recesses of our being through the breath, it 
 
134 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 feeds the body, becomes a part of it, and re- 
 produces its own physical energy. 
 
 When fully equipped with a knowledge of 
 the vital properties of earth, and that out of its 
 great, eternal, mystical composition he is de- 
 veloped, Man will come into consciousness of 
 his strength and of the power held within his 
 own sex-nature. He is master of all things; 
 but he demonstrates his mastership only 
 through knowing the characteristics of every 
 living thing. He may as well be finite and 
 limited, if the fact of his divine nature be not 
 known; for without this knowledge he cannot 
 use his power, inasmuch as that which he is 
 not conscious of is of no use to him. 
 
 Any deficiency or lack of knowledge con- 
 cerning his vivifying potencies renders man 
 impotent and incapable of complete formation 
 or perfect reproduction. To know his consti- 
 tution he must acquaint himself with the ele- 
 mentary principles of Nature. 
 
 He cannot hope for the perfect coming of 
 the Lord while trifling with outer things of 
 life or failing to take steps leading toward in- 
 finitude. He must ascend, through ripened 
 consciousness, to a point where physical ex- 
 pressions are weighed for what they are worth 
 to him, and to each individual. If he continues 
 
SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 
 
 135 
 
 satisfied with the promises given in this phase 
 of Hfe, he will miss the effect of the finer forces 
 of Nature, and all higher mysteries will remain 
 veiled.

 RANSMUTATiON^ reproduction and 
 prolongation of life goes on for 
 aye, but this is not to be con- 
 founded with the final regenerative 
 process. 
 
 If bird life be investigated, it will be found 
 that there is an unorganized birdling substance ; 
 a fertile element which is the fundamental ma- 
 terial for the organized, beautiful birds of the 
 forest. All elementary bird-life is contained in 
 the various kinds of food that the birds pick 
 up; the next form of this food is manifested in 
 the egg; then comes a season of supplied heat 
 generated by the mother bird, and the process 
 of hatching awakens into life a little body with 
 head, wings and legs ; and lo, the little organ- 
 ism peeps forth from the warm nest ! It pres- 
 ently demonstrates its hopping propensities, 
 and also unfolds its wings — symbol of a higher 
 birth — and away it flies to repeat Nature's pro- 
 
136 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 cess of formation through the creative activity 
 of its bird nature. 
 
 It is Hkewise with man. He cannot afford 
 to ignore the process of physical transforma- 
 tion and recomposition. The generative prin- 
 ciple must be known from beginning to end, in 
 order that his anatomy may be kept perfect. 
 None can afford to overlook the first require- 
 ments of positive generative life. If one link 
 of the chain is ignored, the whole chain must 
 be traversed over and over again until the miss- 
 ing link be found. 
 
 The difference between one who knows 
 how to prolong life by imbibing the es- 
 sences of Nature and the bird which re- 
 produces itself and lives only a limited 
 period of time, is that the one possess- 
 ing this knowledge also knows how to 
 conserve his energy and allows nothing of his 
 substance to waste or escape from his organism. 
 Carrying the correspondence still higher, the 
 dift'erence between the one who knows the secret 
 of prolonging life, and the one who knows the 
 regenerative process, is greater! It is the dif- 
 ference between the chemist and the alchemist. 
 One imitates Nature, and the other soars above 
 it, unconcerned about things visible, far sur- 
 passing that which is tangible ! 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I37 
 
 There are adepts living at the present time, 
 who have prolonged life many years beyond 
 the allotted time and are still doing so; but 
 they have grown old, careless, non-expressive 
 of the highest, going about illy clad in soiled 
 garments. The regenerative process brings to 
 man not only the prolongation of life, but also 
 renewed youth and beauty, a desire for the 
 most artistic expression of life, and imperial 
 success on all lines. It brings him back into 
 that which he is, the likeness and image of 
 God ! It restores to him the pristine beauty of 
 the gods! 
 
 HE prolongation of life by effective 
 use of the essences of Nature can 
 be attained by a celibate, but the 
 regenerative process cannot be car- 
 ried on wdthout the Fire of Love ! Love is the 
 cause of the marvellous transformation ! Love 
 is the attractive force existing between Man and 
 Woman and the magical key that will unlock 
 the door to the most secret chambers of Nature 
 and of God. Love alone teaches how to employ 
 the spiritual power, how to transmute water 
 into wine! 
 
138 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 No one can come into possession of this 
 power until awakened through the Love Na- 
 ture. Nor will Love's work be finished until 
 it is potent enough to mould that which is 
 loved into whatever Love would have it. 
 Bringing forth the ideal in the Beloved one is 
 the only goal worthy a great love ! 
 
 To repeat : The specific difference between 
 the one who prolongs his life and the one who 
 regenerates himself, is that the first one is a 
 natural chemist and gathers, as do the birds, 
 the sex-essence from Nature and conserves it. 
 The other is an alchemist who, working 
 through his mentality, turns the flow of his own 
 sex-essence inward instead of outward. This 
 gives him renewed growth and godly expres- 
 sion ! He changes or transforms the character 
 of the body and lifts it into its primal grandeur 
 and sweetness ! This requires a certain skill 
 that can be obtained only by the crucified ones. 
 
 It is only the truly human man or woman 
 that can enter into the supernal vibration that 
 transcends all physical sensation ; there is no 
 mediocrity about such souls ! It is either the 
 Eternal glory of that which is Everlasting, or 
 the deepest misery of that which is transitional !

 HE same force is used by the Jew to 
 make his millions, as is manipu- 
 lated by the philosophers and 
 thinkers to extract the imperish- 
 able gold. The millionaire uses it crudely as 
 one daubs the paint on a house ; the adept phil- 
 osopher manipulates it with the finesse of an ac- 
 complished master, as an artist who paints a 
 picture from the ideal within himself. One em- 
 ploys what Nature provides, and produces on 
 the canvas his own likeness and image; the 
 other simply touches up his house with paint, 
 and it remains nothing but a touched-up house. 
 The Jew shows forth his perishable monies,

 Man has within himself all the elementary 
 minerals necessary for the formation of a Uni- 
 verse. Being the microcosm he holds all that 
 the macrocosm holds. The herb is not only in 
 the earth, but its essences are in the air and in 
 the heavens. The planets are not only in the' 
 sky, but are in the water and in the earth. 
 Man can draw unto himself that which 
 corresponds to the most potent and de- 
 veloped part of himself; if he has gold pre- 
 dominating in his constitution, he will draw 
 gold unto himself. The planets and the earth 
 
140 THEMAJESTYOFSEX 
 
 are of the same essence, both are the coming 
 forth of the same cause. Every form of life 
 springs forth with Man as its ultimate and 
 supreme expression. 
 
 There is that in each entity which can draw 
 and gather all the different kinds of essences 
 into one great Heart of Love, and so transmute 
 it that it will reform the entity into the complete 
 expression of itself. There is but one ultimate, 
 and that is the realization of one's self as a 
 perfect being.

 HE body with its varied expressions 
 is but thought made manifest. 
 The more one studies the problem 
 of sex-law, the more universal it 
 appears. The primary motive of physical con- 
 tact is to make manifest the creative thought, 
 and it is a step toward the coming forth of 
 the ideal Man. But as a result of education 
 and a belief that everything pertaining to the 
 sexual functioning nuist remain veiled and un- 
 spoken, there has sprung up many erroneous 
 ideas concerning intercourse between Man and 
 Woman. 
 
 In Nature this nuptial ceremony is forever 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I4I 
 
 taking place. It is the great creative act of 
 manifestation which reveals Nature in its full- 
 ness and joy. This is the mystery that takes 
 place in the stillness of the morning while the 
 city sleeps and the street lamps throw light for 
 no wanderer; while the clock chimes its first 
 matin notes through the hushed morning air; 
 while sleeping hearts dream and waking ones 
 wonder ; while stars are beginning to fade away 
 in the dim dawn, and the moon pales in the 
 greater light of day — when hands are folded, 
 when eyes are closed, when voices are hushed, 
 and the body perchance slumbers, perchance 
 not. Then it is that the soul wakes and is be- 
 winged in the sweet union that takes place; a 
 union of the soul and her Beloved; a union 
 upon which all continued existence depends. It 
 is the perfect interaction of the two forces ever 
 playing and sweetly interplaying through all 
 the channels of Being. 
 
 But owing to the false concept of this holy 
 transaction, many have been led to believe that 
 spiritual development lay along the line of mon- 
 astic seclusion and complete sexual isolation. 
 This belief is the foundation of many religious 
 schools, the followers of which have failed to 
 prove any verity in their teachings. True, we 
 may observe in -the various experiences of 
 
142 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 life, wonderful mental developments attained 
 through celibacy ; but they are won through the 
 sacrifice of physical force, and the final result 
 is an unbalanced condition of both mind and 
 body.

 HERE is a distinction between con- 
 tinence, abstinence, and self-in- 
 dulgence. Continence is a restric- 
 tion of indulgence, reserving 
 force; abstinence is separation and means 
 death, as a violation of the law of normal use. 
 Continence is an indrawing for the purpose of 
 reservation; or it is simply a guard against 
 excesses and a too large family. Abstinence is 
 detrimental because God's plan embraces, in 
 its fullness, every item necessary for perfect 
 unfoldment of the body and soul. Man rep- 
 resents God's idea — his image — and whoso- 
 ever supposes there is an organ not for use, 
 or never to be used, denies his own godliness. 
 
 The sexes associate for various reasons : 
 for the reproduction of species, which is often 
 a detrimental act hampering the soul more than 
 it uplifts, wounding the heart which it should 
 heal. For the sense of pleasure indulged in by 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I43 
 
 both the unmarried and the so-called married 
 lover, ends in waste and death to the mind, 
 wrinkles and dry bones of old age for the body. 
 It is both lower than the hi.^hest and higher 
 than the lowest. If rightly controlled and di- 
 rected it will become the first in importance — 
 the ideal and divine ! It will become the vibra- 
 tory, rhythmic expression, harmonious in its 
 efforts to glorify the human into the divine. 
 Human or personal love evolves into the im- 
 personal or divine, indrawing to the primal 
 centre that drop of Liquid Gold wherein all 
 life is! This is symbolized by the sparkling 
 drop in the Heart of the Lotus. 
 
 The electric spark glows and burns in every 
 man, as he creates the germ of impregnation; 
 the woman holds the magnetic current, the re- 
 ceptacle or crucible of transmutation and crea- 
 tion. This magnetic current is the coiled spring 
 of Love, and when once set in motion it affects 
 all within its radius, drawing into its charmed 
 circle the Fire of Life. 
 
 True sex exchange is based upon finding 
 the ideal in the real. 
 
 The spark of fire or electric germ must find 
 for itself a receptacle in the loving embrace of 
 its complement, for without this it is useless. 
 In entering the magnetic current the masculine 
 
144 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 force floods the feminine with his divine aroma, 
 the sweet, warm covering ever constituting the 
 strength of the Holy Mother. At this moment 
 of balancing, the two pass into a state of in- 
 ertia which is, in reality, a more rapid motion, 
 a vibration, a new mode of living. This very 
 velocity of force burns and consumes to ashes 
 all the increate fire and earthly conditions ; and 
 through this dissolution is furnished the suste- 
 nance of the New Life. It is the Phoenix rising 
 from its ashes ! It is the result of the fullness 
 of the current turned inward.

 OMAN should surrender her body 
 to none, unless for her own good, 
 or because she wishes to transmute 
 her sexual strength for some 
 mighty purpose. In the case of Love Divine, 
 should she desire to draw very near the be- 
 loved for revitalization of her whole being, 
 she may do so only in the holiest mood. As has 
 been said, physical contact is necessary as a 
 primary step in creation, and through the act a 
 power is generated that brings new life, more 
 love and forcefulness. But two souls, having 
 learned this secret, may generate power without 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I45 
 
 physical interchange. None will be satisfied 
 that this is true, neither will they attain the 
 power to accomplish the work, before having 
 experienced all the steps of physical intercourse 
 and creation. Then they will gradually grow 
 into this subtler method of generating power. 
 The man who can impart to, or induct 
 Woman with the Divine thought, is the Divine 
 Romeo to the Celestial Juliet. He knows the 
 law of regeneration, and has become conscious 
 of his Second Birth !

 N the ordinary plane of sex-com- 
 munion WQ seek to manifest Self 
 — God — in flesh and blood by re- 
 producing our finite nature. We 
 think of God as personal, producing that which 
 we conceive to be His image. But as the soul 
 evolves to the supernal consciousness that Man 
 is God, we more largely manifest the impersonal 
 life-force as love and wisdom, energy and 
 health. This can be done by coming into sex 
 vibration and possessing the soul wath the real 
 image of God — Life, Truth, Love — dropping 
 the material idea to such an extent that no 
 
146 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 thought of the fleshly product enters the mind. 
 Then immaculate results are attained. 
 
 Abiding in the deep consciousness of love 
 through the one with whom exchange is de- 
 sired the concept of ideal love can prevail. And 
 under the paramount desire to make love mani- 
 fest in life, through personality, we enter the 
 close walk with the soul in holy communion 
 with each other. The two are made potent by 
 loving and are masterful — Absolute! This 
 conscious absoluteness renders it impossible to 
 generate substance other than love and life. 
 Only the image of love and life exists, there- 
 fore it will be stamped upon the mental vision 
 with no desire save to manifest in each other 
 the purest Love. Love, prevailing as imma- 
 terial force, will turn all the energies of mind 
 and body into demonstrable mental power. 
 Physical contact is not always necessary for 
 magnetic exchange. Mental contact may 
 exhilarate witli thoughtful ecstacy. and the soul 
 will be acted upon in a manner that physical 
 contact cannot accomplish. 
 
 We think, and according to the measure 
 the thought be accepted, will it be made mani- 
 fest through the medium of the mental matrix 
 where the seed is deposited. This wonderful 
 manipulation of sex force and the knowledge of 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I47 
 
 its manipulation, is wisely hidden from all 
 save those who are spiritually illuminated. In 
 the hands of the ignorant or false prophets it 
 becomes supreme in its power of annihilation. 
 It can never be fully known to any, save those 
 who are willing to leave the old, die to the past, 
 and enter fearlessly upon the New Life! 
 
 Whoever has caught sight of this Sun-Fire 
 has seen the Creator! Let him beware of 
 trifling with the rays of the mighty force! 
 They are as shafts from the throne of the Most 
 Holy One, and will utterly annihilate the cities 
 in the wilderness. The old sensual dross will 
 be burned and consumed, but out of the ashes 
 will arise one "clothed with the Sun." 
 
 ASSIGN springs from divine con- 
 sciousness. Its awakening is a 
 budding — the beginning of love — 
 which results in a flowering glory. 
 Passion is a degree of love which empowers 
 the soul with energy and desire for mastery. 
 The way of passion is the way of the cross. 
 The awakened passion is the first flush of re- 
 generation; the first step taken toward a new 
 existence. Woman's passion is her crucifixion

 — man's passion crucifies unto his own punish- 
 ment." — Woman Revealed, pages 137-38. 
 
 The vibration by which an action is 
 prompted determines the animal or angelic na- 
 ture of the action. Intercourse betv/een man 
 and woman may be sensual or divinely pas- 
 sional. Unless viewed from the standpoint of 
 divine love any expression between them may 
 be considered sensual, separated from spirit. 
 Every act is divine when performed under 
 love's guidance. Divine love means the unity 
 of body, soul and spirit, and is non-sensual. 
 Positive thought concerning the body makes all 
 its actions positive. 
 
 The majesty of passion prevails in all mani- 
 fested life. Its power is so subtle that, if fully 
 recognized as the power within all things, man 
 would grow more rapidly into the sanctity of 
 the Holy Passion that brought drops of blood 
 to the forehead of the Christ. 
 
 The earth does not refuse the majestic pas- 
 sion of the Sun, but receives in joy his warm

 tion. Ripened passion is love — the golden scep- 
 tre that points the way to every achievement! 
 
 From the plane of infinitude, sexual rela- 
 tions are productive only of Life Immortal! 
 The separateness or duality of soul and body is 
 a sensual idea; but the two viewed as one, 
 makes passion between man and woman 
 sacredly vivifying. Regeneration places every- 
 thing on the basis of the One Power — the Abso- 
 lute! Generation, or mere physical exchange 
 of force, is sensual and may be productive of 
 evil results. But in Love all things are pure 
 and holy. 
 
 We love to the degree we are inspired to 
 love. As the perception becomes illuminated, 
 so does passion become love in creative rest. A 
 storm is soon spent, but love is eternal and all- 
 effective. In activity there need be no storm. 
 Man and woman cannot realize the truth of 
 their unity until they permit the creative forces 
 to court each other in all the power of both 
 storm and rest, passion and peace! 
 
 A wise man will not misuse the strength 
 imparted to him by a woman's trust. Whether 
 he be worthy of her trust and passion woman 
 knows better than man. She can be convinced 
 of his trustworthiness only by knowing that he 
 could not divinely love her, were he not holding 
 
150 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 fast to his own godlike ideal. He could not be 
 strong without being filled with passion; he 
 could not be trustworthy without being strong. 
 As long as woman trusts man she is a shield for 
 his passion. To the degree that she trusts him 
 will he transmute his passion into a conquering 
 masterfulness; through this mastery will he 
 set her free, releasing her from all oppression. 
 But she leads him on ; her presence and pas- 
 sion becomes a delicious drink, a nectar, not to 
 be swallowed by the goblet, but rather to be 
 tasted drop by drop to his soul's great refresh- 
 ment and nourishment! The Waters of Life 
 must be gently drunk by the loving man and 
 woman, for sudden draughts dull the taste; 
 gentleness belongs to creative love, suddenness 
 to a short-lived passion. When Man and 
 Woman know how to partake of this Water, 
 their soul and spirit enter into a complete union.

 REALISTIC Story of sensuality and 
 Divine Passion has come down to 
 us through the ages. Woman is 
 likened unto a delicate rose of 
 sweet flavor, and man plays the part of sensu- 
 ality. The story is as follows : 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I5I 
 
 Once upon a time, in God's sunlit garden, 
 there grew a rose-tree. It bore a beautiful 
 rose. It rejoiced in the rain, the sun and the 
 blue of the sky. One day, man approached this 
 rose. With eagerness he watched the unfolding 
 blossom; in ignorance he handled it; in impa- 
 tience he picked at the petals, pinched the calyx, 
 trying in many ways to shake them loose and 
 hasten the unfolding. 
 
 Through pinching and picking, handling 
 and impatience, he hastened the blossom- 
 ing of the rose, and it tried to assume 
 some semblance of itself. But, alas, even 
 when fully open, this flower that promised 
 so much, was marred and blighted, its 
 petals mutilated, ragged and torn, its fragrance 
 weak and faint. And what should have been 
 a perfect flower, queenly on its stalk, wafting 
 its sweetness for many days, was but a bruised, 
 scentless and faded thing. 
 
 But in spite of its marred beauty Man de- 
 sired to possess it. He plucked it, when lo, its 
 petals fell to the ground ; taken up by the wind 
 they were carried beyond his restoration, and 
 he was left with only the stem of the rose; its 
 grace vanished, its color fled, its fragrance no 
 longer life-giving, its calyx useless and impo- 
 tent, its power of creation aborted. Nature 
 
152 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 laments ! The Gardener sighs ! Man wonders ! 
 God rejoices! 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 OMAN may be Hkened unto a rose, 
 loved and admired by Man. In 
 the love-Ht Garden of Creativeness 
 they meet. If Man be wise he will 
 be satisfied with admiring- her unfolding beauty 
 and love-nature, waiting patiently for her to 
 waft unto him her sweetest energy and frag- 
 rance. He will not mar the development of this 
 human flower, leading her through sensuality 
 and criticism, unto her own destruction. But 
 he will love to watch her day by day as she 
 grows into fuller blossoming. 
 
 When that full blossoming comes she will 
 have the power to respond to his desire and the 
 energy to give forth the sweet flavor of her love. 
 Beware, lest this nature be marred, torn and 
 wearied ! Through impatience and ignorant 
 eagerness for possession, that which should be 
 a perfect expression of itself, will be short- 
 lived and dead to man's purpose and desire. 
 And he will be left holding in his hand only 
 the stem and empty calyx of a faded flower. 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I53 
 
 But when he shall have had a glimpse of her 
 real beauty, he will put no barrier in the way of 
 her progress toward the complete expression 
 of herself. He will give her all the freedom her 
 soul desires for its unfoldment. He will throw 
 over her a divine mantle, covering her as a 
 gardener protects a delicate rose from the late 
 frosts or the scorching rays of the mid-day 
 sun. He will feed her with love as the rose is 
 fed by the rich loam of earth. He will culti- 
 vate her very being into forgetfulness of every- 
 thing save her own divine goodness and vir- 
 tue, just as the gardener cultivates the rose 
 through watchful care and attention. He will 
 place around her those things that will entice 
 her into fuller expression of life, just as the rose 
 is enticed into perfection through careful nur- 
 turing. He wall surround her life with an ar- 
 tistic environment, thereby developing a richer 
 coloring and a more beautiful expression, even 
 as the rose is colored by atmospheric conditions 
 and by placing at its root the segment of the 
 desired color. 
 
 The woman thus surrounded will shed upon 
 the world the wonderful seed of love's possi- 
 bilities. And unto Man she will say: "All 
 that thou art I am and all that I am thou art !" 
 
THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 HE worth of an allegory lies in its 
 possible application to every day 
 life. Even after the pair may have 
 come to the consciousness that 
 with them rests an eternal ultimate, even then, 
 mistakes can be made whereby their heavenly 
 purpose may for a time be thwarted. To avoid 
 any suggestion that may go toward the nega- 
 tion of positive energy, let them both remain 
 intrinsically unshaken in purpose, invincible 
 in their love, unchanged in righteous thought. 
 Then, when the majesty of sex power be ex- 
 pressed and they both sink into that state of 
 being where the world is shut out, business 
 cares forgotten, the idea of pregnancy foreign 
 to both minds, the bodily substance will be ab- 
 sorbed by the soul and become transformed 
 into a garment — a new body — somewhat like 
 the solidification of soul substance, so that the 
 old body will be laid aside in the sepulchre 
 while, on the third day, the new one will be 
 made visible. 
 
 That which gives most joy to a lover is to 
 see or hear the woman of his heart give ex- 
 pression to herself as she really is; for her in- 
 terior beauty is so supernal and so radiant with 
 splendor of love divine that a complete ex- 
 pression of it would carry man beyond all 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I55 
 
 earthly limitations, and he would become a 
 god on the instant. But that he may in a meas- 
 ure witness this glory and behold her come 
 forth in her beauty materialized under his Will, 
 let him never approach her until she has been 
 wooed into receptivity and power by his own 
 loving thought directed toward her. 
 
 To prepare her, let him treat her as 
 he would an angel; caress her into recep- 
 tivity; warm and vitalize her under the 
 influence of mentality or in spoken words 
 of appreciation. Tell her she is lovable in her 
 entirety; woo her into a divine passion — then 
 will the act of giving and receiving become 
 one of transmutation, void of sensuality. 
 Woman's holy vibration should never be dis- 
 turbed by the slightest impatience. 
 
 Should she not be in a receptive state, with 
 the poise and grace of an arch-angel and 
 loving inspiration demand that only love — the 
 immaculate essence of the Universe — be ex- 
 pressed ; and soon she will respond to such silent 
 treatment, and both will enter the eternal state 
 of consciousness whereby the entrance into 
 God's sunlit Garden may be found. Then will 
 Man behold Woman as his bride — clothed in 
 the vestments that love alone can weave. 
 
 There is in man a quality that gathers all 
 
156 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 the different degrees of love into one great 
 Heart of Love, that he may place it upon the 
 shrine where burns the Holy Flame of his Di- 
 vinity. There are times when he enfolds her 
 in his arms with the protecting love of a father, 
 knowing her to be his only treasure. There 
 are times when woman loves man with the love 
 of a mother who would soothe and comfort 
 him, when he lays his weary head on her bosom 
 and finds strength. But when this great Heart 
 of Love is most fully expressed, whether in 
 Man or Woman, then it is the Woman becomes 
 the Bride and the Man her Bridegroom. All 
 else is forgotten save the sweetness engendered 
 in the act of creation.

 AN is Master of all things. Wis- 
 dom is the rock of man's salva- 
 tion ; knowledge is the power that 
 is! According to his wisdom he 
 forms his plans, according to his knowledge he 
 executes them. 
 
 There is a secret in seeking, getting, and 
 holding this wisdom and knowledge, and it is 
 this : in seeking do naught, in getting possess 
 not, in holding let go — the greatest of all se- 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I57 
 
 crets : Love the weakest link in the chain, for 
 it constitutes the strength of the whole. 
 
 The Well of Love is as deep and inexhausti- 
 ble as the fountain that never runs dry, or the 
 sunken shaft of a gold mine that never pays 
 out its last pan of ore, but continually fills the 
 bucket from its hidden resources. One miner 
 digs and strikes a rich vein; another strikes a 
 deeper one and its productiveness is never ex- 
 hausted. So it is with Man. He imagines to- 
 day that he knows all there is to know, but on 
 the morrow he has a new glimpse into the end- 
 less depths of Truth. He finds that there is 
 more and more yet to be abundantly under- 
 stood. 
 
 The continuance of this beautiful disclosure 
 of knowledge is due to man's power to conserve 
 the vitality which gives strength and ability. 
 He should guard his sex potency as a miser 
 guards his gold. But instead of this he habit- 
 ually prostitutes it in various ways, letting his 
 virtue pass from him, not knowing of his power 
 to conserve it. When the time comes in which 
 to use it, and when he needs the greatest supply, 
 his energy is exhausted and he finds himself 
 poverty-stricken and self depleted. 
 
 Any lack of vitality between the sexes is 
 due to insolvency of thought, not to any lack 
 
158 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 of essential power. To replete the creative 
 spark, or to increase its power, both man 
 and woman must recognize the God within 
 themselves. Physical poise can only be main- 
 tained through divine perception of what is 
 good, godlike and pure. The statement "all 
 is good" may sustain happiness, health and 
 success to a degree; but the simple affirmation 
 is not sufficient to balance man against all the 
 evil appearances that surround him. Some- 
 thing more is required — a real godlike and ab- 
 solute understanding. 
 
 4. ^ 4, 
 
 I AN is the centre around which all 
 power radiates. Not a part of it, 
 but the centre itself! As the de- 
 velopment of self-consciousness 
 advances so does man gain power of radiation. 
 Jesus was the externalized Love-Thought of 
 Joseph and Mary. This accounts for the virtue 
 which went forth from him as a centre and 
 radiating principle. 
 
 Man is the most vital, hence the most sen- 
 sitive, creature extant. Because of this highly 
 developed senstitveness he is also highly im- 
 pressionable and is acted upon or influenced by 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I59 
 
 everything. He cannot expect to be free from 
 affliction as long as he does not recognize his 
 own superiority ; he cannot expect to be master 
 as long as he is indissolubly married to Ignor- 
 ance. When he has learned to recognize that 
 he is a fixed Law, as fixed as the sunshine, 
 then will he change no more than the sun. Ap- 
 pearances do not affect man's unchangeable- 
 ness any more than the clouds affect the sun's 
 shining. As a centre he is fixed and eternal ! 
 
 Being eternal, Man should continually cre- 
 ate improved and impassioned conditions. He 
 should work to the ultimate of attainment and 
 power; to the manifestation of creative zeal. 
 Attainment and manifested power are attributes 
 of the everlasting and immortal life. When 
 mentally impotent we fail in attainment, just 
 as there is a failure to bring forth physical 
 children when physically impotent or uncrea- 
 tive. 
 
 An expression of sex principle becomes 
 manifest as Love comes under divine recogni- 
 tion. Love is a manifestation of spirit and as 
 a quality of energy it should be manifested sex- 
 ually. The conservation of this energy is not 
 accomplished by the suppression of sexual 
 force, but it is accomplished by permitting love 
 
l60 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 as subtle vibration to guide the grosser and 
 more material form of sexual activity. 
 
 4* # ^ 
 
 T is not the conservation of sexual 
 fluid that should be the aim of 
 either man or woman, but the non- 
 creation of it. This constitutes 
 the conservation of vitality. With this fact 
 fully realized it is possible to live in a continual 
 ecstacy of life, instead of spasmodic intervals 
 of sexual joy. Dwell upon the most beautiful — 
 life, love and wisdom — steadily, and there will 
 be only the production of creative essence, no 
 loss of substance, for that ivhich is idealized 
 cannot he lost! It is the pure gold brought 
 from the mountain of material conditions, 
 stored in the "Alabaster Box" to be broken 
 at the feet of the Beloved ! 
 
 This creativeness can be acted upon and 
 brought forth into greater expression, by ming- 
 ling with the magnetic currents of a well vital- 
 ized body and blending with a soul fragrant 
 with love-potency. The soul must be conscious 
 of the non-separation of body and soul, and 
 so sensitized to the holiness of the sexual em- 
 brace that no prostituting idea can enter in. 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE l6l 
 
 The method of celestial love is a science, and 
 the scientific development of sexual force lies 
 in the knowledge and desire to remain contin- 
 ually creative and potent. The great Holy 
 Power, the Spirit of Energy, should be continu- 
 ally manifest in man! 
 
 Made potent by loving, the pair master every 
 lesser expression and are Omnipotent in power. 
 In rhythm and peace with the image of Life 
 stamped upon the mental vision, with the desire 
 to manifest only the most perfect picture of 
 love, they harmonize each other. Love's per- 
 fect v/ork depends upon the ideality of thought 
 and its wise guidance. 
 
 Morning, noon and night there should ever 
 be a consciousness of creative power; never 
 losing sight of the Universal Spirit to the ex- 
 tent of becoming uncreative mentally, or de- 
 vitalized physically. This is the impotent 
 mood — the mood that profiteth nothing! Let 
 us understand that the creative mood does not 
 mean giving expression to it in a physical 
 manner ; but it does mean a consciousness of 
 the never-dying principle of sex-power. It 
 should be sensed throughout the entire being. 
 The delight of being alive is great ! The joy of 
 active expression is greater. But the ecstacy 
 of Love in stillness is greatest ! 
 
THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 be in a continual state of creative- 
 ness, there must be a continual 
 conservation of vitality. This is 
 to be applied mentally as well as 
 physically. To be physically potent and cre- 
 ative in the highest sense, one must be mentally 
 poised. The thought must be centered on the 
 universality of sex-life, and not on the physical 
 organism alone. In other words, work toward 
 the conjunction of body, soul and spirit. The 
 interaction of these three made perfect brings 
 Life Immortal. Interaction cannot be com- 
 plete until the two, man and woman, meet ; and 
 meet harmoniously in all three parts — body, 
 soul and spirit. When they play celestially in 
 and about each other then shall come into exist- 
 ence "the just man made perfect." 
 
 When the law of perfect interaction, cor- 
 respondence, and interchange is discovered 
 and complied with, the problem is solved. This 
 must necessarily be perfected in one body of 
 two-fold action. There is such a body, and 
 it is duplicated everywhere with greater or less 
 perfection. The two-fold action should be 
 completely balancing even as it once was ! 
 
 The everlasting presence of the One ever 
 overshadows us, but until we unite the Pres- 
 ence within with the Presence without, this 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 163 
 
 Presence does not appear unto us. Until eter- 
 nal silence is born in the soul the spirit cannot 
 fully overshadow it. 
 
 s an illustration of the idea to be 
 conveyed regarding this conserva- 
 tion of energy, take the banker 
 and his reserve stock of gold : If 
 he wishes to keep solvent he will place at his 
 disposal a reserve fund sufficient to meet all 
 practical demands that may be made upon his 
 bank. Should he allow his resources to be- 
 come limited and a ''run" be made upon his 
 bank, he must fail. The banker makes it his 
 rule to have and retain a sufficient fund of 
 money and so utilize it that no unusual demand 
 for currency will bankrupt him. 
 
 So it should be with mankind both phys- 
 ically and mentally; there should ever be a re- 
 serve force — sufficient energy to meet every de- 
 mand. Disease necessarily follows where vi- 
 tality is at a low ebb. 
 
 The source of supply must be first located ; 
 drawing from this supply whatever is needed, 
 the next step is to learn its use. In both phy- 
 sical and mental sense it is the knowledge of 
 
164 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 sex power that sets the world free. Success 
 is attained only where the vital energy is equal 
 to the demand. Being alive is being successful ! 
 It is by vitality that conditions and environ- 
 ments are mastered. It is the first cause of all 
 expression. 
 
 Vitality is attractive whether in mental or 
 physical form ; this attractiveness brings results 
 in wealth and health, happiness, youth and 
 beauty. When scientific increase of sex force 
 is developed, every desire becomes an irresisti- 
 ble demand. 
 
 The fountain of love is inexhaustible : 
 
 "A Well of Living Waters. 
 
 A flowing stream from Lebanon." 
 
 It is that upon which the world subsists, 
 and of which the Universe consists. 
 
 Not only is it a *Svell of living waters," but 
 it is to be found everywhere, in everything. 
 That is also beautifully told in the canticles: 
 
 "Behold! He standeth behind our wall. 
 He cometh in at the window, 
 He peepeth through the lattice." 
 
 And again : 
 
 "Thou art in the clefts of the rocks, in the covert of 
 the steep place." 
 
SONG O r I M M O K T A L L I F E 1 65 
 
 HE principle of attractiveness ex- 
 ists in the least as well as in the 
 greatest manifestation; but it is 
 most potently fixed and logically 
 demonstrated in the conscious man. The most 
 conscious man or woman is the most attractive. 
 The intelligent man or woman will make a cen- 
 tre of their most potent attribute that will have 
 power, like a brilliant light in the darkness, to 
 attract, draw and win. Beauty has its cen- 
 tralizing influence; form and manner interest; 
 color and sound hold the attention of eye and 
 ear; vibration and odor carry the soul often- 
 times far beyond the earth realm. Greater and 
 greater development of the inner qualities 
 proves more and more irresistible. 
 
 But one cannot expect to be either interest- 
 ing or irresistible until the centre of all at- 
 tractive qualities, the love-nature, has been cul- 
 tivated. When love shines forth garmented in 
 her own beautiful robe which is woven of pa- 
 tience, reposefulness, godlike desire, forceful- 
 ness and ripened experience, then is the height 
 of attractiveness reached. Clad in such a garb 
 man will become a thing of demand. The de- 
 sire for gold, health, perpetual life, youth, 
 beauty, will become demand ; and, as the power 
 
l66 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 of attraction is manifest, the demand will not 
 lack response, but instantly be fulfilled. 
 
 To find or inherit a sum of money, to be 
 born beautiful or attractive, proves little so far 
 as the real power of the person is concerned; 
 but to develop energy and individual ability 
 embraces possibilities of peace and happiness, 
 hope and pleasure, that non-effort can never 
 bestow. As we labor the soul unfolds its 
 beauty; as it unfolds so does the personality 
 become attractive and powerful! 
 
 "Love lieth at the foundation." Let love 
 reign ; permit it to flow through body, soul and 
 spirit. Keep your very being charged with its 
 power ! Fear not the result, for passion is con- 
 trovertible — it can be transformed into celes- 
 tial love, the sole result of which is invariably 
 heavenly peace, enthusiasm, and profound ec- 
 stacy! Transmute affection and passion into 
 that Fire which is God ! 
 
 * * * 
 
A SONG uF IMMORTAL LIFE 167 
 
 HIS is the whole secret of keeping 
 vital, and it is another section of 
 the key that unlocks the door to 
 everlasting life. The immaterial 
 substance within the body can be used only for 
 the highest purpose; the re-creation and re- 
 demption of the body. All ascension is done 
 through love ! Man ascends into the heaven of 
 Omniscience by love's hand only ! 
 
 While dwelling in the ashes of unbelief 
 that which is the most beautiful remains veiled 
 and hidden ; there is negation of everything and 
 failure to perceive intrinsic values. 
 
 Beautiful attractiveness may be frozen into 
 non-expressiveness by a hard and cold attitude 
 of mind. The naked intellect is lifeless, and 
 will in time betray the spiritual Man, the love- 
 nature. It is so exclusively male that it cannot 
 beget a child of any kind. It desires not the 
 masculine in the feminine, nor the feminine in 
 the masculine. It is a room in the Father's 
 Mansion that is not completely furnished until 
 after the birth of Christ! When its force is 
 awakened unto the fact that it cannot create 
 without uniting with Intuition, it reaches out 
 for that which will lead it into the inner court 
 of the Temple. And this is but the story of 
 the male and the female repeated ! 
 
l68 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 A wholly intellectual type of man is repre- 
 sented in scripture by Judas. The one who 
 fails to find the Christ is the one who betrays 
 him. It is one who is imprisoned in a walled 
 city; and he who dwells there is in need of the 
 perfect union of Intellect and Intuition and 
 lacks the divine gift of sound consciousness — 
 illumination. 
 
 'k ^^ ^ 
 
 T is the perfect union between the 
 sexes, whether expressed between 
 man and woman, soul and spirit, 
 intellect and intuition, that gener- 
 ates the vitality which is the living attractive- 
 ness of all creatures. It is true that vital en- 
 ergy can be generated by ideal self-cc^mmunion, 
 but for the preservati(^n and conservation of it, 
 man and w(.man must come into sexual union. 
 But this should never be done until Love Itselt 
 — God — prompts it. Then there will exist no 
 desire for anything lesser than the most super- 
 nal creation of vital force. 
 
 This generation between the pair may be 
 continued or prolonged at will by turning the 
 attention from the physical relation unto the re- 
 lation (if souls. I'nless the union be entered 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE 169 
 
 for the purpose of physical propagation, the 
 thought should never dwell on the possibility of 
 such results. But, for this purpose, a certain 
 preparation is necessary that would not be 
 needed were the union intended for the ex- 
 change of magnetic energy and for the purpose 
 of generating vitality. The holy union should 
 never be prompted for the sake of satisfaction 
 or gratification. When the desire for gratifi- 
 cation, and the propensity of expelling, has 
 been mastered, one knot of the great sexual 
 and creative problem has been untied. 
 
 When mankind shall have acquired the true 
 understanding of the mystical law of sexual 
 union, angelic ideas will be realized in the form 
 of children, and gods will appear in the form 
 of men. Whatever man and woman may unite 
 in conceiving must inevitably be realized, and 
 the response of their desire become fulfilled 
 while dwelling internally upon love ascendant, 
 divine and natural. From the moment of 
 passing the outer door of the creative lips until 
 passion be transmuted, the life-glands are open; 
 and the essence, passing from man's soul to the 
 soul of his beloved gives godly joy. 
 
 Breathe not the atmospheres of separation, 
 impurity and adultery — but that of oneness 
 with Divinity, the Energy of Heaven ! 
 
I/O THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 There has been a moral Law laid down, 
 that sexual intercourse should not be entered 
 into save for the purpose of propagation. We 
 agree to this, but carry the power of creation 
 beyond the mere external realm. 
 
 s man awakens to his spiritual 
 nature he becomes a more beauti- 
 ful and subtle centre of attraction. 
 Woman in her full expression is, 
 of all attractive centres, the most attractive, be- 
 cause she is ever unfolding the exquisiteness of 
 the curved Hue, as she grows in spiritual worth. 
 Man's spiritual nature is his feminine nature, 
 and as he cultivates it, so does he cultivate his 
 attractive qualities. 
 
 Woman's form is chosen as a model by 
 artists, because from the top of her head to her 
 feet she is most exquisitely rounded. Man is 
 charmed with these wonderful curves. Her 
 characteristics are expressed in the curves of her 
 face and head ; the curve of her neck and 
 shoulder, those of her graceful bosom, where 
 is enthroned the mystery of motherhood, the 
 world's only inspiration. She is the very ex- 
 pression of love and passion. Her entire figure 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I7I 
 
 expresses graceful roundness until, again, it is 
 perceived in her unborn child, folded within 
 the radius of her own mother-chalice. 
 
 But neither man nor woman should confine 
 themselves to mere personal attraction, expect- 
 ing all their comfort from their bodily propor- 
 tions. Daily harmony comes not from physical 
 sources only ; but having an eye to the Absolute, 
 the celestial beauty of the real Man will keep 
 the body grandly active and undisturbed by 
 foreign vibrations. Unless we hold ourselves 
 in the positive attitude of our own greatness, 
 the opportunity for success on any line of ex- 
 perience will be lessened. 
 
 Self-view must be enlarged that Self may 
 behold itself the truly potent, powerful agent 
 it is. When this is done both mind and body 
 will become potent in activity. No one can af- 
 ford to limit his possibilities by denying the 
 I AM — Love — by agreement with appearances. 
 That which appears to us as truth vivifies, 
 whether spoken by a Master or not. It matters 
 not who addresses, if the fact be palpable. 
 One's ideal thought may be considered wrong 
 by one and right by another, so "there is 
 neither right nor wrong but thinking makes 
 it so." 
 
172 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 AN is God veiled in flesh. All mani- 
 festation is a veil, and to see God 
 through this veil, in spite of its 
 density, is the privilege of the re- 
 generate man. To stand still in strength and 
 see God walking, to listen quietly and hear God 
 talking, to perceive this by the knowledge born 
 within is to know Divinity — brought forth by 
 the Divine Masculine through the Celestial 
 Feminine. She alone can see and know the di- 
 vine in Man. He alone can see and know the 
 divine in Woman. Both are clothed in mor- 
 tality; to perceive their divinity one must gaze 
 through the celestial azure of infinitude; for 
 only the immortal can see the immortal, only 
 God can see God. 
 
 The work of Man is to glorify the world; 
 the work of Woman to redeem it: to conceive 
 that within herself which is the Holy Spirit 
 and the Son of God : then transfer it to Man 
 that he may use it for her glorification. Woman 
 receives from God the substance with which 
 the world is redeemed. She performs her work 
 silently, and Mari transmits it to the world in 
 the Word. She interprets the Word, and 
 externaHzes in him the likeness of that which is 
 formed within her of the Holy Spirit. What

 is the result ? God made manifest in flesh ! The 
 Divine MascuHne ! 
 
 She awakens Man from his ''deep sleep," 
 and he stands forth as the only one while she 
 returns unto him. Thus, within the home of 
 her birth, she becomes hid from the w^orld, but 
 she manifests Love w^ho is Christ, her Son ! 
 
 The Divinity of the Divine Man is of such 
 potency that he rises above the blows of mor- 
 tality, and, in rising, lifts with him his celestial 
 goddess ! 
 
 Neither can lose that which is a part of 
 their being. The Light of Man's soul cannot 
 be blovN-n out by a puff of wind; neither can 
 woman lose that which is of herself a part — her 
 virtue !

 AN and Woman are of God, and if 
 either should seem to fall from 
 their high estate, one thing is sure, 
 the angels are ever present to pick 
 up that which has fallen, and the twain is one 
 again. "When the Master rises in the East, 
 the four parts of heaven, the four corners of 
 the earth are shattered, and my broken accents 
 fall in the hands of the Lord."

 Learn the lesson of divine recklessness ! God 
 waits not to do his work when once moved into 
 divine activity ! Fear not to take possession of 
 that which you know to be your own. Let Love 
 steal out into the stillness and capture the Four 
 Square City! With forces marshaled break 
 open the gates, penetrate into the very centre. 
 The centre within shall be stirred by the 
 majesty of Love's potency. With fire and 
 vigor will Love respond to Love's approach. 
 'Twill be a contest of Love wherein is proven 
 who in love is the stronger, the besieger or the 
 besieged. But the besieger has accomplices 
 within the Temple. It is a contest of the gods 
 where passion and power are vieing with each 
 other in greatness. Love's wage is love, and 
 Potency's wage is potency. Soul meets soul for 
 the acquisition of divine love in its awe-ful 
 splendor and sovereignty. It is a contest for 
 infinite and godlike possession of Eternal Life! 
 A contest for ever greater consciousness of God. 
 And the one who loves most valiantly shall win 
 the prize, the invaluable treasure of the Four 
 Square City of tlie Gods. 
 
 Let Woman adorn herself for Love's great- 
 est victory ! For she is the victor — yet man 
 shall carry off the treasure and crown her with 
 the jeweled laurels as his goddess ! 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I75 
 
 Thus, with power and spirit, enter in and 
 take possession of the city of the Living God ! 
 Without fear and with that divine recklessness 
 with which only gods move, the entrance 
 should be made and all the auraic power pos- 
 sible absorbed. All idea of error or fear will 
 vanish and be as foreign to the soul as alloy to 
 the superb essence of pure gold. To be in per- 
 fect poise is to be divinely sexed on all four 
 planes, body, mind, soul and spirit ; it is to know 
 the imperial joys of living and also the mani- 
 fold phases of knightly success. 
 
 The poise necessary for the highest sexual 
 power comes largely by freeing the mind from 
 all worldly cares such as business and house- 
 hold duties. The sacred relation should never 
 be entered while under business pressure, or 
 while the feminine mind is too much occupied 
 with domestic affairs or other pursuits. 
 
 No occupation so interferes with the whole- 
 ness of love between man and woman, as that 
 of an intellectual nature. It is, in itself, so fas- 
 cinating and engrossing that, ere either are 
 aware of it, all energy and strength has been 
 turned into and absorbed by this calculating 
 and subtle god. 
 
THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 s Man loves \\'oman's abandon- 
 ment and receptivity, as he desires 
 to possess her and yearns for her 
 creative and loving mood to be 
 given him, so does she admire his polarity, 
 strength and masterfulness; so does she adore 
 his power and godlike gentleness. ^lan must 
 be master of himself to be able to so embrace 
 a woman that she will give him her whole con- 
 fidence ; he must so awaken her soul and sweetly 
 touch her lips, that she will become divinely 
 poised under his subtle suggestions; he must 
 keep in mind only the true purpose of creation 
 — to make Love manifest ! 
 
 Until love reigns supreme and the most 
 holy and harmonious thought prevails; until 
 the flame of celestial desire sheds its most bril- 
 liant light upon both man and woman, the holy 
 communion cannot be enjoyed. In this divine 
 mood woman conceives whatsoever she wills; 
 man may master to the extent he wills to master. 
 The difference between the initiated and the 
 uninitiated in the mystery of sex, is that one 
 thinks evil of God's most wondrous vibration; 
 the other by righteous thought and holy con- 
 cept, directs the spiritual germs into the living 
 seed of that being who is his counterpart, and 
 who, through her own spiritual impulse, will 
 
A SONG OF IMirORTAL LIFE 1 77 
 
 transform and clothe them in the lovely attri- 
 butes of her own soul. 
 
 As woman redeems she becomes glorified. 
 The glorified Woman will be the first to be 
 greeted by the Living Man. Wreathed in the 
 laurels of ever-lasting remembrance, she will 
 bear the tidings of him to a waiting world. 
 The same grace that redeems one woman will 
 glorify all others! The love of a Magdalene 
 may lift the dead Jesus into the resurrected 
 Christ! For it requires the concentrated es- 
 sence of a devotion that only the resurrected 
 and initiated woman can impart, to bring to 
 the tomb of man's darkened existence that 
 which will lift him from it and transform him. 
 She does this by giving of her feminine sub- 
 stance so etherealized by true love that it is ab- 
 sorbed into the soul of Man. 
 
 The Man of wisdom knows when her heart 
 has fully yielded to his wooing. He knows 
 when her soul has responded to the voice of 
 his spirit. Such devotion has its reward in a 
 rich fruition — his loving recognition of her 
 and her inclination toward Him as the pos- 
 sessor of her love !

 T is in the power of man to woo 
 woman into such divine potency 
 that she will reveal herself to him 
 and the world, in all the white- 
 ness and purity of her creative spirit.'* — 
 Woman Revealed. 
 
 This is true in the highest sense ; but it is 
 also true that he may lose that which he has 
 won, by failing to appreciate her. It is then she 
 "withdraws like a vapor — leaving the person- 
 ality clothed in such habiliments as to be un- 
 recognizable as the sweet strong spirit oi 
 motherhood." By the exercise of his selfish will, 
 man often loses her through whom he could 
 redeem himself from darkness and despair. His 
 mastership does not consist in commanding her, 
 but in lifting her with him into spheres hitherto 
 unknown to either. This he cannot do by 
 polarizing his will against her abandonment. 
 As surely as this is attempted, so surely will he 
 lose her spirit of selflessness ; so surely will the 
 twain remain dual and unregeneiate — self-con- 
 demned unto death. 
 
 Man cannot be redeemed, neither glorify his 
 redeemer, by exercising mere naked will force, 
 either over himself or her. He can practice and 
 maintain ordinary self-control through it, but 
 this is neither redemptive nor glorious. The 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE I79 
 
 most perfect method is permitting love to do 
 its perfect work and learning to guide its 
 mighty power. 
 
 Throughout the ages, man and woman have 
 practiced self-control. The result has been very 
 apparent : humiliation of the soul, unhappiness 
 and death in their relationship. But by per- 
 mitting Love to go forth to do the soul's bid- 
 ding, it will return crowned with laurels, every 
 desire fulfilled. For Love is the manifestor, 
 demonstrator and creator, and by its guidance 
 all things may be drawn from out the formless 
 Universe. 
 
 It is by misapplied energy that misunder- 
 standing comes into the life of those who might 
 otherwise remain forever polarized. Out of 
 this misunderstanding is born the idea of evil 
 as connected with bodily contact. Man and 
 Woman differ or agree according to the atti- 
 tude of mind or quality of thought held at the 
 time of intercom se, which is the moment of 
 realization of whatever idea may be in the mind ; 
 the whole trouble or difference between them 
 exists in the separation of thought where there 
 should be unitization.

 'OMAN has more mastery over her 
 sex nature than man, and for this 
 reason often Hves longer. If man 
 Hve longer it is because he exists 
 on the magnetic breath of woman. 
 
 Here may be added this curious epitaph : 
 
 "To Aesculapius and Health this is erected 
 by L. Clodius Hermippus who, by the breath 
 of young girls, lived an hundred and fifteen 
 years and five days, at which physicians were 
 no little surprised. Successive generations, 
 lead such a life!" 
 
 It is not through the bodily contact that 
 man and woman reap the harvest of redemption, 
 but it is by mingling the magnetic fluid ; and 
 bodily contact is but a means for this blending 
 process. The soul cannot become conscious 
 of its power simply through body touching 
 body; but as all power is thought-force, the 
 effect of the touch depends upon the ideal con- 
 sciousness of the two. 
 
 Whatever effect be derived from thinking 
 must be accepted, for the thinker is the parent 
 of his every possible demonstration. Ideal 
 consciousness knows not evil or inharmony, 
 but perfect repose and enchantment. It is at- 
 tained by a rigid denial of ugly and distorted 
 C(^n(1iti(Mis that seem so real and yet are as un- 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE l8l 
 
 real as fabulations. It sweeps the mind free of 
 the beHef in death and sin; it wipes from the 
 mentahty all preconceived notions ; leaving be- 
 hind what our forefathers dared not disbelieve, 
 and picking up many ideas which they feared 
 to adopt. It brushes away everything that per- 
 tains to unrighteousness. It burns all dross 
 and cleanses the heart. 
 
 Ideal consciousness is consciousness of God 
 —a ripened soulfulness. It is the power that 
 overcomes, a rock as that of Gibraltar. This 
 ideal consciousness develops the man that dares 
 to do right for righteousness' sake. It is the 
 attribute of the great, unfathomable I, the soul 
 of manifestation, in which Love is the active 
 centre.

 ROM a logical view-point of the 
 subject, we believe that evolution 
 will present to us the more sub- 
 jective form or phase of sexual in- 
 tercourse. To try to avoid sex conditions now 
 would be the height of folly and abortive of 
 unperceived good results. Therefore, until a 
 vision of perception beyond the present rela- 
 tions can be observed they must be continued. 
 
l82 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 Body and soul must act together to bring forth 
 the diviner possibilities. As we demonstrate 
 all we perceive concerning creative law, enter- 
 ing into the creative act with consciousness of 
 purpose, something more will be made mani- 
 fest, and by practical demonstration we will 
 learn what is in store for all those who wisely 
 seek. 
 
 There is such a thing as the new body. 
 The present body is the product of Thought, 
 and as it becomes regenerate through the power 
 of Soul-Love, it will become more and more 
 transparent, less opaque and dense, until finally 
 it will appear transformed ; changed in quality, 
 the identity remaining the same ; it will be en- 
 tirely under control of the soul. 
 
 When Jesus appeared after three days in 
 the sepulchre his identity had not changed, but 
 the quality of his body had become so spiritual- 
 ized, so under dominance of His soul, that he 
 appeared in the midst of his disciples through 
 closed doors.

 I HERE is a mighty current flowing 
 through the Universe. It is part- 
 ed into two streams. Blend these 
 streams so that the one becomes 
 saturated with the essence of the other, and 
 you have, in the mixture, All Life, which is life 
 eternal. These two streams are Man and 
 Woman. To him be it said: Mix yourself 
 with herself to such a degree that you will not 
 know whether you are yourself or herself — for 
 then you will taste of Life Eternal and drink 
 the streams of waters that are living. Waters 
 that are alive ! These are blended, not muddy. 
 The blended are clear and transparent as 
 flowing crystal, as sparkling sunbeams. In 
 it is All Life. Mix it, drink it, and live ! Di- 
 vision is death, unity is life ! Unite ! 
 
 The work is difiicult but highly natural. 
 What is generally called union between male 
 and female, is rather separation. No wonder, 
 then, that the w^ork is difficult ! If you wish 
 separation unite bodies only. In spending force 
 the golden cord of true unity snaps. If you 
 wish true union, the eternal wholeness, then this 
 is the way : 
 
 Know that man's constituent parts are three. 
 For a wholesome union the wdiole Being is re- 
 quired. The soul, linking body to spirit, par- 
 
l84 THE MAJESTY OF SEX 
 
 takes of the nature of both, even as the solar 
 plexus shares in the nature of both the upper 
 and lower centre, brain and vitality. The con- 
 clusion is this : unite souls. No kind of ignor- 
 ance is available here. Only those who know 
 their souls can do the work. The solar plexus 
 is the medium through which the soul is 
 known. Unite souls ! for in the soul is the en- 
 tire being blended : spirit and body flow into 
 it. Its aggregate essence flows into the soul 
 of the beloved — and it is a perfect exchange. 
 The first sign of having tasted the Elixir is 
 that your eye attracts or repulses all things ; 
 that the teeth shed off all decayed layers and 
 become new and glossy; that old nails fall out 
 and new, beautiful ones apj>ear in their place. 
 
 The cause of all union is the desire for more 
 life. Man and woman unite to live more. 
 While in union this should be realized, that the 
 pleasure sensed is increased life streaming 
 through the being. Take hold of the life, con- 
 centrate upon it, and live ! Concentrate stead- 
 ily, unflinchingly upon it. and it will augment 
 until it shakes you into divine laughter and lifts 
 you into the spheres of the gods ! The founda- 
 tions of (^Id things are rent, the cells and 
 
A SONG OF IMMORTAL LIFE

 chambers of the body are opened, and the 
 
 vitaHty of the new Hfe fills every atom ! 
 
 Fixations and sublimations! Fixations 
 
 belong to the body, sublimations 
 
 to the spirit. The soul fixes 
 
 everything in sublimity!
