Now let us consider the mystery of physical
birth from the female. The man and woman who are drawn together in true love,
and are mated from the standpoint of divine law, are so constituted that they
balance each other, so that each makes up for the lacks in the other. Thus they
blend into one, as a complete whole. The man will average from 60 to 90 percent
masculine and positive, with the remaining 10 to 40 percent being feminine and
negative. The woman will average from 60 to 90 percent feminine and negative,
with the remaining 10 to 40 percent being positive and masculine. There are a
few extremes which go beyond these figures, but most people will come somewhere
within them. Thus a masculine woman will attract a feminine man, and a very
masculine man will attract a very feminine woman. This is nature’s way of
balancing people.
In the physical expression the woman is negative
and has the most to do with bringing physical children into the world, while
the father, being positive, has very little to do with bringing children into
the world. This is reversed in the mental plane. The importance of this point
is found in the fact that the receptive phase of expression is the one which
brings forth creation. Here in the physical planes we find an important key by
which we may understand the secrets of creative force on the higher planes of
being.
The negative is always external to the positive.
In other words the positive forms the center of force, while the negative
surrounds the center of force as the body thereof. To understand the creative
force which allows physical birth, man and woman must be considered as one. As
long as they are thought of as two the mystery cannot be understood. When they
are seen as the two halves blended
into one it becomes understandable. Considering now the one, we
see the negative female-half as the body in which the positive male-half
functions. The woman-half completely surrounds the man-half, and in the
physical planes she is the body and he is the soul. In the mental plane this is
reversed, as we shall see.
The Spirit Soul which is to incarnate in the
child body which is being formed is always present during all the period of
gestation, from conception onward, and it furnishes the pattern for the body
that is being formed. The Spirit Soul furnishes a perfect pattern, and if the
mother furnishes the right materials for the formation of a body, and if the
father has furnished perfect soul seed, the child body will be perfect in every
respect according to the pattern furnished by the Spirit Soul which is
incarnating. If the soul seed is imperfect, or if the mother does not furnish
the right materials from her food, through a clean, wholesome body, the child
body will be imperfectly formed and will not attain to the perfection of the
pattern furnished by the Spirit Soul. Here is the secret of conception. There
is here much food for thought and study. This shows the part that is played by
the mother, by the father, and by the soul that is incarnating into the child
body, and how these three elements must be taken into consideration in order to
understand the mystery of physical birth. When either the father or the mother
fails to do their part the perfect pattern does not come forth into
manifestation. The Soul always does its part well, so that the result depends
upon the halves that should be one.
Thus we see that the man-half furnishes the soul
seed which allows the Spirit Soul to begin to function in the body seed, or
ovum, which is supplied by the woman-half. The Spirit Soul has no means by
which it can impregnate the body seed in the woman-half until the soul seed
supplied by the man-half has entered into the body seed of the woman-half, for
the soul seed forms the connecting link between the body seed in the woman-half
and the Spirit Soul which is incarnating. Thus we see that the Spirit Soul is
the true father of the babe, and that the man-half only furnishes the soul seed
which allows the Spirit Soul to impregnate the body seed with life.
The life which causes the child body to develop
and grow comes from the Spirit Soul. The father and mother of the child do not
supply the positive life force, although they do supply the negative life
force. These are the unveiled mysteries of physical birth from the woman.
Understanding these things, we see why it is that the sex organs are the most
sacred organs of the body, and why it is that misuse of them is so disastrous
in result. Also it is clear that the right use of the sex organs will help to
draw one into a higher spiritual life and increase the responsiveness of the
individual to the Soul within himself, that the perfection of the Soul may fill
his whole body.
This brings us to a study of conservation of the
sex energies. Conservation does not mean “to hoard,” but it does mean “to use
wisely without waste.” True conservation is the right use of the sex energies,
so that the individual may receive the greatest possible joy, happiness and
success in life. The energies which are released within our bodies are directed
into the channels of expression to which we give most of our attention. This is
the key to conservation. The average person gives a great deal of attention to
his body desires and appetites. Consequently most of the average person’s
energy is used in satisfying his body desires. The only satisfactory method of
redirecting the sex energies is through a change of the thoughts, so that the
attention is held steadfastly on spiritual attainment. In order to do this
successfully it is necessary that we understand the mysteries of creative power
on both the mental and spiritual planes of expression.
These subjects will be fully covered in the next
lessons, so that when you have completed your study of them you will be in
position to apply the laws of conservation to your own life and realize the
joys and blessings that are poured out upon those who look to the spiritual for pleasures that are real and
lasting.
