What is the true law of the sexes?

If you and I were to examine spiritual-germs before they had ever been breathed in by man, you would soon discover the law, which regulates soul-counterparts. With your sight expanded, you would see innumerable small pellucid transparent globes floating here, there and everywhere. 

If you were to take one in your hand and examine it closely, you would find it an indestructible spiritual-germ in the form of an egg and within it two perfect forms―the man and woman to be―the male and female in one―the future angel. 

The forms are perfect, but the eyes are closed―they are not yet self-conscious―or intelligent. 

Consciousness and intelligence are yet in store for them.

How is it that children are born singly, not in pairs, as this germ would indicate?

These globes have never yet been breathed into the lungs of living man―that is reserved for them.

When these perfect germs are breathed in by man, the positive or male-half germinates or develops first―the female-half or negative is thrown back into the atmosphere in the form of an oblong globe, for they must be separated to be born male and female, for if this were not so, the law of propagation would be at an end. 

This latter globe being oblong never rises above the dense atmosphere and the lungs of man have a far greater attraction for it than they did when it was a perfect globe, therefore, it almost immediately becomes incarnated. 

You once existed within one of these perfect globes or germs, as one―from thence you became man and woman, performed your work on earth, becoming conscious and intelligent―from thence you became again united and are now a perfected angel, far on your road toward heavenly wisdom. 

Which would you prefer to be?―an angel or the undeveloped germ of an angel? for many people say they wish they had never been born.

You enjoy the happiness of eternal love―

Truly, love and wisdom are the everlasting handmaidens of God.
