CHAPTER I

SEX UNIVERSAL AND ETERNAL

The fundamental basis of the universe is Sex.

Sex is the fulcrum upon which our life-activities turn. It is the life
of Man and of planets, and ignorance of the laws of Sex is the cause
of death of both. It is the conjunction of the forces of attraction
and repulsion; the positive and negative; the centripetal and
centrifugal forces which hold stars and planets in their orbits--or
rather, it is the two expressions of the one power, which is both male
and female, the eternal bi-une sex principle which is _Life_.

The law of attraction everywhere, from that of the sun and the earth,
to that of the iron and the magnet, the "affinity" of the various
gases and liquids, is founded upon Sex. Cohesion is but another name
for copulation, and repulsion is absence of the power of contact. The
law of attraction and cohesion everywhere is the law of sex-activity.
"The law of conjugality is the basis of every force in nature," says a
scientist. Sex constitutes the eternal energy from which issue all the
forms and differentiations which we see manifested in the visible
universe, and it is equally the foundation of the realms invisible.

Sex is the algebracial X--the unknown quantity which defies analysis.

Plato is said to have observed that "the son of man is written all
over the visible world in the form of an X;" and also that "the second
coming of Christ is rightly symbolized by a cross." The cross is but
another form of the X--the eternal bi-une sex-principle in action.

The Female Principle attracts to a central union; draws toward and
within itself. The home is established and maintained by the female
element; the nest is the special property of the female bird. Thus the
Female Principle best expresses the highest love because the object of
love is _union_. Hate scatters, disintegrates, destroys. Wherever the
struggle between love and hate is seen, there we will find a lack of
union. There may be marriage, but there will not be mating. True union
must come from the Center of Life--from the spiritual Reality, which
the physical only imperfectly shadows forth.

Involution is best described as feminine, and wherever we note the
upward trend of the feminine element in Society,
