Sexual ethics
God was wise in creating this sex nerve center, or physical brain, by
which the organism builds and paints in glorious beauty and charming
grace the wonderful machine, the human body, and makes it strong and
tense so that when the work is complete the ego or spirit of man will
have a perfect instrument through which to manifest itself to the world
and perform its mission and live its life in highest nobleness upon the
earth. Because of these facts _God has wisely wrapped the intellectual
faculties of the child within its life, as he does the rose-buds in
the rose-bush, that when the body work is completed, that crown of all
His creation, the self conscious life of man, may manifest itself in
all its glory through a perfect instrument and that instrument remain
strong and proficient through the years_.
We may add this further suggestion to make our point clear. In our
statement of the slow growth of the intellect as compared to the other
two elements of being, we are dealing with the reasoning faculties and
not with memory, which is quite another element and is not dangerous to
the physical development, and may show a marked unfoldment at quite an
early age.
IMPULSE AND VIBRATION
Having got these relative proportions well in our minds we may for a
brief time give our attention to an important scientific fact which is
necessary to our study. Our lives are entirely controlled by impulses
which originate in various parts of our personalities. Sometimes the
impulse comes from our bodies; again the feelings are in control, and
at times the memory asserts itself. Then again the intellect is the
dominating factor. OF THIS WE MAY BE SURE, FROM WHATEVER ELEMENT OF
BEING COMES THE STRONGEST IMPULSE, THERE FOR THE TIME BEING IS THE
SEAT OF GOVERNMENT. We are also scientifically certain, _that the more
finely attenuated an impulse is, and the more rapid the vibrations
are which carry such an impulse, the more powerful it is and the more
surely will it prevail over the slower impulses carried at a lower rate
of vibration_. A current of electricity of high voltage will melt a bar
of steel.
THE FINEST ORGANS――THEIR FUNCTIONS
With the above thoughts well fixed in our minds we are ready to ask,
what are the two finest and most sensitive organs in the human body and
those capable of sending out the finest impulses? There is but one
answer to this question. 1. The brain, or mind nerve center. 2. The sex
nerve center. One of these nerve centers, the brain, is the instrument
of the intellect and the other nerve center is the instrument of
feeling, not of base and shameful feelings, as many people think, but
of the most exquisite and beautiful feelings of which a human being
is capable. _As the beautiful thoughts of man may be distorted into
vicious and sinful things, so may the exquisite feelings which flood
forth from the sex nerve center be debased and distorted into sins._
