he female principle in the
God-idea. Christian Science is one of the most important instruments
of the cosmic law in the present-day dethronement of the male
principle as the only true God.

So permeated with this male God-idea is every branch of our modern
thought; so enwrapped with the glamour of worship, that we hardly
notice the one-sidedness of the ideal. Tradition is a powerful
hypnotist.

Many members of the Masonic fraternity fail utterly to understand the
symbolical language of their mosques and the phallic and yoni emblems
which constitute their decorations. Notable among these emblems are
the pomegranate; the lotus; the circle; the crescent; the swastika.
The cone-shaped towers, that rise above the mosques, with their
protruding heads, vein-tipped; the central symbol identical with the
mound of Venus; denote the preservation of the Egyptian ideal, which
venerated both sexes as co-equal. It is easy to realize why the Jews
were driven out of Egypt when we remember that they refused to worship
the Egyptian ideal of God as bi-sexual, but persisted in rearing the
phallic symbol alone, denying the female principle a place in the
God-head.

It is also significant that side by side with the present-day Feminist
Movement we find the revival of Egyptian fashions; Egyptian
architecture; Egyptian philosophies and religions. Even Cubist art,
which in itself could make no possible appeal to recognition on its
artistic merits, has been received with much publicity, if not with
acclaim. Cubist art is a lineal descendant of Egyptian art, and so
closely resembles its far-off ancestry as to seem to have bridged the
centuries and connected us as if by telephone with the days of ancient
civilization. Our drama and our popular songs have responded to the
Egyptian thought-wave. Talismanic jewelry, so essentially Egyptian, is
in vogue, and on every sign board advertising breakfast foods, tobacco
and what not (so essentially an American custom) we find the
modernized use of Egyptian symbols, notably the swastika.

The swastika, the earliest form of the cross, found in every country
and in every out-of-the-way corner of the globe, is fundamentally,
originally and pre-eminently a bi-une sex symbol, and although volumes
have in recent years been written on its history and meaning, the
whole story may be summed up by examining its form and by realizing
its antiquity and its universality.

The two sex principles, joined in the cent
