rt. We are not to seek; we
are only to prepare ourselves to be ready and worthy; when we shall
have done this, nothing can withhold our own from us; not though the
two halves of the One Being are separated by all the barriers which
the sense-conscious race of men have erected between themselves and
the bliss of Heaven. Says Emerson: "What is thine, will gravitate to
thee." We need not therefore go about apprehensively fearful lest we
lose that which belongs to us; in so doing we are apt to keep our eyes
glued to the earth, thus forgetting that it is from the higher realms
of vibration "whence cometh our light."
Says Emerson: "O, believe as thou livest, that every sound that is
spoken over the round world which thou oughtest to hear will vibrate
on thine ear. Every proverb, every book, every by-word that belongs to
thee for aid or comfort, shall surely come home through open or
winding passages. Every friend whom not thy fantastic will, but the
great and tender heart in thee craveth, shall lock thee in his

heart of all; not a valve, not a wall, not an intersection is there
anywhere in nature, but one blood rolls uninterruptedly, an endless
circulation through all men as the water of the globe is all one sea,
and truly seen its tide is one."
Here then are specific and trustworthy statements for the further
enlightenment of the student of the problems of Sex. Like algebraical
propositions they prove themselves when correctly solved. Immortal
godhood is attained by counterpartal union, because the Central Source
of Life is bi-une. Immortality is our spiritual birthright, but we
must claim it if we would consciously realize this truth.
God is the bi-une creative principle, and we are literally and in
truth the "image and likeness" of this bi-une Being. Not one
hermaphroditic personality but a pair. A pair is one whole, even
though each of the pair is distinct in form and diverse in temperament
and qualities. We are especially emphatic upon this point because
there has been so much vague and speculative theorizing upon this
definition of a bi-une Being. Your perfect mate is distinctively
masculine or distinctively feminine in sex as the case may be; and he
or she is your mate because of this perfection of distinctiveness.
Our former ideas of femininity and of masculinity were faulty. Woman
is not less but much more womanly, if she has exchanged fear f
