1t Will not, 1t cannot affect us so long as
we continue to keep the light of discern
ment burning and continue to penetrate
grown. 1t may take time to penetrate
all darkness, and to permeate with under
standing the darkness once outgrown. 1t
may take time to penetrate all darkness,
and to permeate with understanding all
ignorance, still with every step onward we
grow into knowledge and wisdom of
things that will lead us all our way. We
hold that co-habitation or bodily contact
is not a necessity, but that it must remain
with us to choose and take the consequences
accordingly. The human being, we must
remember, is of such construction, its
machinery of such nature that everything
there is in the universe is contained with
in the Individual whether the individual
be man or woman. The expression as 10
form has little bearing and merely presents
the strongest tendency entertained as to
time and position. We express ourselves
as a woman for the reason that the desire
towards giving and the desire for sacrifice
has been strongest at the time of manifes-
tation; we express ourselves as man for
the reason of the desire towards accumula-
ton, and then perpetuate that desire by
wasting it. That desire may be uncon-
scious, Just as in our dreams we perform
actions that we would not do were we
conscious of them. When thought vibrates
positively it drifts into the negative and
expresses itself in the form of a woman,
negative in appearance but positive in
tendency. 1t was the prodigal son who
had to return home. The prodigal daugh-
ter can always help herself, for she is the
mother of all and is still productive. Even
thought through imposition the productive
current has stopped she is still creative,
she never needs to give up.
Both tendencies are present in every in
dividua, were it not so there would be no
existence. Woman is simply the expression
of that which she attributes to the man,
which is hidden in the man unconsciously.
Man is consciously negative but uncon-
scousIy positive, and the moment he sees
an opportunity to bring out his positive
nature he takes advantage of it and 1t
seems as if he were positive. Man presents
to you the positive part of his nature OF
which he is unconscious, but given the op-
portunity he will take advantage of it and
delude everyone around him that he is
positive He is not Woman is positive,
but there lies within her the negative also.
The moment she gives out her positiveness
when she comes into the presence OF man
she gives to that man the opportunity to
place himself into the positive, and because
of her nature allows herself to uphold The
nature she gives to him, and consequently
be taken advantage of. If she would be
determined at all times to keep her true
position there would never be any occasion
of disadvantage. Man will always yield
10 the positive. Man is the expression OF
woman, negative and because of this the
presence of woman suits him because she
is his negative reflection. Seeing IN HIM
her positive nature or reflection, woman
has that desire to be in his presence, and
as he cannot possibly get out OF lite what
he desires without her, he will possess her
at any price, and if needs be he will YIELD
will use his negative nature to advantage
in pleasing her by reflex actions. lhus
they exchange their respective natures and
by blending the magnetism with the cleo
trio and vice versa, they will manifest
love for each other.
Standing alone and by merely exchang-
our conditions of magnetic-electric think
ing the same results could be obtained, as
the negative and positive are present IN
every individual. But before we can take
a step higher into life of consciousness
we must be able to understand both ma
lures of our being, and then it will no
