, on Reproduction.

It is universally acknowledged that the Lord creates, that we owe all to
Him, that He gives us our children, etc., etc. This is true, and it is
also true that He makes use of the parents, through whom he operates to
this end. By the constant influx of his Divine Love and Wisdom He gives
us life, and by virtue of this constant influx into the father who
begets, the mother's conception becomes doubly sacred. She conceives
from her husband, and at the same instant the Lord by virtue of His
Divine Power breathes into that conception the breath of life, whereby
it becomes a living soul. By the light of this truth we see that it is
not the parents who give life to their offspring. They only supply the
pure material substances which are organized into the human form by the
living and life-giving forces which constantly flow in from the Lord who
is life itself and from whom all life constantly emanates.
