Do you say you wish you had never been born?

What is the law of soul mates or counterparts?

If you were to examine one of the spiritual germs before it had ever been breathed in, you would see a small pellucid globe floating―

Spiritual germs floating here, there, and everywhere.

You would find it an indestructible spiritual germ, in the form of an egg, and within it two perfect forms―

The male and female in one―

The future angel.

The forms would be perfect, but the eyes closed―

They would not yet be self-conscious or intelligent.

Consciousness and intelligence are yet in store for them.

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

These globes, which you would now see, are perfect germs―

They have never yet been breathed into the lungs of living (wo)man―that is reserved for them.

When these perfect germs are breathed in by (wo)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―

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 it almost immediately becomes incarnated.

This is the true law of the sexes, for they are born into life in equal numbers.

Now, after these germs have expanded and become intelligent (wo)men, they then leave their bodies and they are again united and form one completed angel.

You once existed within one of these perfect globes or germs as one―

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.

There is but one answer to this question.

It is as much better to be an angel than a germ, as it would be if there were a hell to be in heaven instead of hell, for now you can examine all things with intelligent eyes and be wise as a God.

You can now enjoy the happiness of eternal love―

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