ctive procreation. They demand
conditions consistent with the birth of a higher type of human-kind.
They desire to "make right the way" for the coming of the perfect
race--a race that will not snarl and bite and growl and tear and claw
and choke and starve and freeze and otherwise kill each other over the
possession of bones.
Ever and ever we have been promised the coming of the perfect man--the
"man-god," as Emerson said. This means the God in Man consciously
active, and awake. This God-nature of Man's has been asleep, submerged
under the domination of the animal nature which subdues and
appropriates.
A race of supermen can be born only of full and complete union.
Animals reproduce their kind, but man's perogative is to invite the
gods to come to earth. We may consciously beget souls, not merely
reproduce bodies. Women are demanding a union in which there shall be
something more than mere physical contact resulting in reproduction.
This demand is working itself out more or less blindly according to
the development of individual women, but the ideal of soul union is
coming to be more and more recognized not only as a desirable type of
union, but also as the initiative of the promised time when the
kingdom of God should come on earth as it is in the heavens.
All races have uttered this prayer, apparently with a firm belief in
its efficacy. If they have not faith in its appeal, it were surely
vain and foolish to voice it But we are assured that "God always keeps
his promises," which is simply one way of saying that the law of the
cosmos is reliable.
"One calls it Evolution and another calls it God," but both must agree
that whether God or Evolution be the name, Love is the result. There
can be no higher or more spiritual phase of life than that in which
Love is an ever-present reality. Neither can we with any degree of
logic assume that a function so universal, so all-pervading, and also
so inspiring, as that of Sex, has its beginning and its termination on
the physical plane--a manifestation of life which even physicists are
bound to concede is an infinitesimal part of cosmic activities.
We need not worry therefore lest the race shall die, because of a
decreasing birthrate as we see it on the physical plane. There are
many other places and planes of consciousness. The stars and the
planets are peopled. The cosmos is very much alive, because Sex is the
axis (X-is) upon which it rotates in perfect harmony.
