And who shall say it is so very strange That suns and systems should be born and reared Amid the ceaseless and unfolding change Through which evolving souls are made to range In their progression, marvelous and weird, When mere conjunction of the sexes gives To human beings form and life endeared To parents and to other relatives-- The highest type of Being here on earth that lives? 20. The emanations from the wedded Pair, When truly wed, forever conjugate; In closer union constantly they are Combining in the form of substance rare, And building of the aura they create A sphere around the couple joined as one, Which ever is extending as they mate In their unending journey here begun, Until their sphere is a prolific Spirit Sun. 21. We are unable here to further trace Their grand career beyond this Spirit Sun; We have no evidence on which to base Their further progress, nor a clue to place Conjecture or belief upon; but none Can doubt the bliss and glory of the vast Unfolding of the future here begun; It seems impossible for seers to cast Their vision farther on; it stops with God, at last. 22. Nor can we farther backward go than this, Our earthly plane, which emanates as waste From the God-Pair, while every atom is Instinct with all that an analysis Could find in highest forms of what is chaste; Though seeming void, chaotic, without trend, As water seeks its level in its haste To be at rest, so these rude atoms tend To reproduce the human form--their aim and end. 23. But this is clear, what _is_ forever _was_, So far as actual substance is concerned; We need not look for any primal cause Of Being, nor of any of its laws; They _were_, and _are_, and _will be_, when is burned The last of all we now behold below-- _Will be_ when countless cycles have returned, And countless others shall return and go; All _was_, and _is_, and _will be_--more we cannot know. 24. Two Principles we recognize as first; These primal principles unite as one; All Being dual is; the sexual thirst Felt by all sentient beings here is nursed By virtue of these Principles, which run Each into each as naturally as The elements of water run, or sun Draws up the waters for the thirsty grass, Or streams to join the ocean ripple as they pass. 25. The Swedish Seer went not astray when he Named these two Principles Wisdom and Love; Their junction formeth all that e'er can be, Spirit or substance, matter, all we see, Or feel, or think, or hope for from above; Their union, growing closer hour by hour, Oped infinite conditions when they clove Unto each other with resistless power That moves all Being--each the other's living dower. 26.
