CHAPTER FIVE : The "Weaker" Sex
When Nature divided our bisexual ancestors into male and female, the technicality of passing along life was given to man. Naturally speaking, the male is also the protector of the species homo-sapiens. A fully developed male specimen is a fascinating sight with all the pride and stubborn courage of his apish forbears ... what girl would want it otherwise?

The Master, fully recognizing that these masculine qualities were the most forceful means of spreading whole spirit among Earth's population, blessed "Adam" first, which gave the male several epochs' advantage over the female.

Deep details are too ramified for full consideration at this time, however, rather than taking a rib from "Adam" where with to fashion "Eve", The Master divided the male's original whole spiritual 'chord' into two equal portions, from which time forward both male and female became possessed of what might be termed "Half-spirit", or interlocking sympathetic vibratory scales.

Because the essential male yang-drive has made him the natural leader of our species, by the same token woman is the spiritual leader. Woman's evolutional environment in past ages has been such that she has not been forced to develop a high degree of animal drive for survival, nor the egotistical competitive force necessary in a man's world. Rather woman has been subdued, has had more opportunity to spend time in meditation rather than in factual accumulation, and as a result has risen above the average male in terms of insight. What man dares to try to explain female logic or feminine intuition?

Woman's deeper spiritual awareness has served her well. Invariably she outlives her mate and is less prone to the diseases of tension that evidence themselves in males under identical situations. Generally speaking, girls learn faster than boys, mature more rapidly ... partly because in former generations the female ego has been held to a minimum. Woman has fought for knowledge, thirsted for knowledge, while her brothers have had learning thrust upon them.

As man carries within himself the germ of physical life, woman gives the child its essence of spirit; for insofar as Earth is concerned, spirit is now handed down through the female of the species: A point we can verify technically at a later date.

Only woman fully understands the sublime logic of forgiveness and an ignore the masculine drive to promote personal justice. As an example let us say that little Billy goes off to school on his bike and has his valve caps taken whilst in class. Seeking to equalize,Billy looks around for a suitable replacement and decides he will take Sam's valve caps to replace his own. Sam reacts by taking David's valve caps to replace the ones taken from him, and so the chain reaction grows, none of the boys feeling guilt because they are using male animal logic ... an eye for an eye.

In adult life this pattern shows up in such things as Tong Wars, feuds, clan massacres, and all forms of reprisal which male reasoning justifies; for his is the responsibility of guarding the rights of his species.

Supposing the valve cap theft had happened to young Betty,who, having expressed dismay had spent a few cents to buy more. She could have halted the chain reaction right there in turning the other cheek. The act of turning the other cheek is totally opposed to physical logic, though it represents a first major step forward in the practice of spiritual logic. Concerning feuds, if one side could only forget wounded pride long enough to reason clearly, leaving Justice to Omnipotence, many, many innocent lives would have been spared in the past, and hatred finally overcome by forgiveness.

Mature woman then, with the sublime quality of mercy, has the ability to forgive those who trespass without demanding repayment or planning some form of reprisal. The eventual degree of reparation required of her spirit will be tempered with the same degree of mercy that has been shown ... but this is not all ...

Picture womankind as soft and resilient, like foam rubber. The knocks and blows of fortune cannot harm her in the same way that they could harm a man, who is as hard rubber. For the more force with which man strikes out against outrageous circumstances, the harder the reprisals will bounce back; but finding no resistance in the feminine constitution the blows would glance off harmlessly, particularly from a mental aspect. This is one of the main differences in the male and female basic mentality. The taking and giving of offence is a punishing game.

Woman also has the intuition to know the joy of giving love,and understands how much more satisfying this can be than the desire to receive love from others. The female's spirit teaches these things, and generations of subservience to the male have proved the wisdom of this superior logic.

Twentieth Century Woman stands in danger of losing her most prized possession ... her feminine wisdom of the ages, the capacity to nurture. Competition in the commercial world, if allowed to continue unchecked, will result in the start of a third sex; natural masculine tendencies,as woman learns to claw her way to equality with competitive demanding tactics foreign to the basic feminine nature. Though material rewards may be heaped on the commercially successful woman, they cannot replace the jewel of feminine softness which is sacrificed.

The bloody stupidity of many wars which has robbed millions of fine women of worthwhile mates by depleting the pick of the male crop, has forced careers on many would-be mothers ... Yet mankind still calls itself sane: Still glorifies carnal reasoning: Thinks itself smarter than Deity who from the beginning has shown the way to brotherly love with plenty for all. Mankind will continue to stagger around in the maze of its own error, heaping misery upon misery, until it learns obedience to the Law of the Universe.

"The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" is a wise old adage. There is no career comparable to marriage and motherhood in the reproductive time of life. Like any other line of endeavor, the rewards are comparable to the effort expended by the maternal nurture line from which the new mother originates. Thus the challenge of salvaging humanity has been given to WOMAN.

All mature women are "Soul Sisters" within. Feminine maturity in itself, is the most blessed state on Earth. It can apply essential disciplines with harming the infants self esteem. Today's children, too often raised in spiritual isolation, are bombarded with hypnotic suggestion, designed by highly paid master industrial psychologists which appeal to youth's natural animal logic of "Like and Dislike." Thus when youth is cut loose from the maternal apron strings it stands little chance of successful marriage and parenthood. From infancy onwards, the "civilized" are subjected to psychological sales talk designed to stimulate the material mind and discourage selfless motivation.

Glamour, sophistication and sexual appeal is a constant "idealized projection." Liquor and cigarette advertising stand as a prime example in this respect. Subtle insinuation suggests a gay, highly exciting background for the products on display, preconsciously inviting youth to participate, get into the swing of things, and be a "somebody." The possible outcome of starting these habits, the view from the "other side of the coin" like the filthy mucus spit up from tortured lungs as a result of smoking, or the vile vomiting from over-indulgence in alcohol, is a completely hidden effect. Cosmetics, clothing and automobile advertising, accent the same exaggerated dreamscape. The tycoons of big business, fully aware of the profit potential of luxury items, rarely bother to sell what the public needs, rather endeavor to make their items highly desirable by selling the dreamside which disguises the dark side of the product. This encourages petty theft and a sense of lack among the "havenots."

To tamper with a nation's clear thinking, with consideration only of the profits involved, is a perilous road. One shudders to think of the potential effects on future generations. "The direction in which educations starts a man will develop his future life." Plato. This education begins at Mother's bosom.

Many parents make financial sacrifices in order to send their children to private schools which emphasise exclusive cultural positions as the first rule of conduct, which caters to Super Ego, to feed the "Better than thou" effect. Not that the Super Ego would ever display the bad taste to project this image onto the conscious mind. Rather it nourishes the image in its bosom, guarding it jealously. Thus the preconscious mind is primed to magnify and minimize all incoming ideas according to which support its cultural and raise an invisible eyebrow at anything which might appeal to natural common sense.

The trend is to follow the sheep, outpace the others in extremes if you can and society will be suitable appreciative. But never, never, stop to question the direction in which the goats of social leadership are heading; never pause to hear spirit whisper "Quo Vardis?" or your popularity is doomed.

Individuality is regarded with suspicion. Social rebels throwing light on the dire need for social reforms are treated as outcasts. While it's permissible to lend a sympathetic ear to generalities, the general public are not going to fall for any line of gaff which might curtail self-indulgence, especially if their talk happens to revolve around the need for a new perspective which includes giving up something.

Thus from infancy onwards the mad race for acceptance by others begins: Dress better, look more chic, dance more gracefully; collect a larger entourage of admirers than classmates; drive a more elegant car, go to more parties and pretend to have more fun. Ego will be suitably appreciative as its slightest whim is appeased, will expand to mammoth proportions. To pause for self evaluation, or to toy with the term moral courage, is to be considered outmoded. If conscience gets bothersome, toss it a couple of tickets to a charity ball, or flash a crucifix to show what a fine moral Christian person you really are.

No more screaming example of an under-loved-over-indulged child exists in our woman's world today than that of the tragic princess from South Viet Nam. A newspaper account describes her mother as "An imperious lady, cousin of an Emperor". Undoubtedly this mother (like her mother before her) was the ultimate in her world of social cultivation. Most probably the infant girl was lifted from the maternal thigh with the fullest of ceremony. Fourteen servants attended this child so we are told, anticipating and feeding her slightest whim.

When the outraged mother resigned from her post as Vietnam's observer to the United Nations last week she sadly recalled ... "There is a proverb in my country which means one shall not make oneself naked before the world (to keep face), but when I read my daughter's statements I was sick. I do not understand ..."

The "COVERUP GAME" or the shrouding of the truth to hold social advantage to keep face is a common denominator. It is the game of self deception . The Princess daughter had done something awful. But that "the world" knew of them was the true criteria. This oriental idea against public disclosure had violated Social Law. It also violates the logic of Natural and Spiritual Law, by which "the Truth shall make you free." This attitude is prevalent today in North American society, never mind what God thinks of our actions... just be sure the Jones' don't find out!

Consider the possible degree of simple love and trust between the young princess and her mother, the amount of unaffected communion in the home as opposed to the attention paid to protocol and state affairs. Undoubtedly the child was fed and clothed properly, with every physical requirement suitably met. Yet the poorest child in Saigon could grasp its mother's coarse hair to quell any feeling of insecurity, hear her heartbeat, nestle up to her breast when it needed love. A princess would have good cause for preconscious jealousy and take revenge on her love-poverty in cruelties. Everyone does this to some degree.

Woman, to be successful, must cease to be a puppet in the hands of society and learn how to be happy ... deep down happy. This is not something that can be imitated by wealth or superfluous gaiety, though many try. Unless the mother of tomorrow is completely and utterly joyous to the very depths of her being, Society, Nature and Spirit will each exact a price ... a price that our human progeny will have to pay.

There are "Seasons of the Heart" To be happy a woman learns to appreciate each season in its turn. The Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter of the Feminine Psyche. One gives love to the fullest extent of her capacity ... casting her bread upon the waters of life.

To be happy a woman must be useful as a woman. There is a time and place for everything within a well organized "Time Pie." When very young I learned a quote "To be happy for life take up gardening" and found this to be accurate advice. Relaxation also has its place. Basically a woman must feel secure in the knowledge that she is needed by one or many. This joy is available to everyone.

Getting the best return on our Life Investment calls for the regular culling non-essential items. Given these basic requirements all the rest of the feminine trimmings will fall into their rightful place as time and place selects. As the physical mother of four boys, I can state with authority that there is nothing to be gained in the current practice among girls of phoning lads in an effort to attract their attention. It is an almost certain way to ensure waning interest. Boy's don't like to feel tied down. Youth is a time to broaden one's interests. Talents to bring into wedlock when the timing is right.

The unhappy woman is one who harbors hurt within. In the days before Psychology, Grandma usually took care of this for she had trod this same path. Hurt within is technically called "The Victim Complex." I suffered badly from this complex after being widowed in WWII. Hurting takes an exhaustive toll of woman's vivacity, manifesting itself in all forms of sickness, frustration, back biting, the desire to hurt others, numerous matings, hardening of the heart with all its subtle cruelties and jealousy.

"Hell knows no fury like a woman scorned." As each of these symptoms is fed, Spiritual Intelligence is eclipsed: She is unable to "turn the other cheek." Each "hurt-strike" turns back on Woman to hurt her again and again,'till she become steely, positively deadly, as she tries to hurt others more than she has been hurt: Wounded pride demands it ...'till such a woman becomes engulfed in the vicious circle of hate and emerges more deadly than the male.

The ability to give is naturally inherent in all fully developed females, with the joy of spirit adding its own weight to natural talents. Self-realization will make this point clear to any woman. All the nonsense about various female complexes is the result of violation of the laws of her inner being. Even more absurd is the status quo given to mysterious female illnesses ... the preconscious method of gaining sympathy so popular in the Victorian - Freudian Era, and still a favorite attention getter though the conscious mind is totally unaware of what the preconscious is up to, so well is it guarded by Ego.

It is chilling to realize the large number of mothers who encourage their daughters along the social climbing path of emotional insecurity by prodding them to constantly bow to social pressures and perform appropriately. These mothers feel pride in the daughters' resultant popularity. This is a shortsighted maternal reaction, indicating absence of foresight towards balancing the child's ultimate welfare basics

Exaggerating the animal appeal for the benefit of all and sundry, and dispensing "favours" with the same impartial abandon will certainly help to accumulate a male retinue, for the male of the human specie is naturally polygamous, as our history books tell. This is a primary cause of social disintegration, inner city decline and the amassing of much legal wealth, as statistics confirm. THE GLORIOUS RACE - needs One Woman Mind which can figure out a whole new sex scenario. Throughout the ages man has been motivated by the desire to scatter his seed in the "Fields of the Lord" to replenish the earth. Now over population is a dire planetary threat. There is a dichotomy in that, male esteem and admiration goes to the Virtuous Woman. Unlike the sex drive, this respect is not fickle, but lasting and sincere. These points are well worth consideration when a girl sets out to find a suitable mate for procreative purposes.

Woman's influence on mankind, and so the world, will be felt when she beams her egotistical drive on the prize of virtue, not vanity. Though externally her appearance may not have changed, there has been a change within. Helping to attain The Master's objectives will command the exercise of all her intelligence, all of her woman's wiles, every ounce of her feminine intuition, the full radiance of her charm, the giving of all she has to give in His Service.

Man's task is harder because for many years yet he must temper spiritual wisdom with animal practicality to achieve harmony among all the peoples of Earth. Alone man doesn't stand a chance of victory ... he will need every bit of love and understanding that woman's strength can give, to assure swift ascendency to glorious living.

The more prosaic feminine tasks cannot be neglected. Proper nutrition holds the solution to far more human maladies than is presently recognized, insofar as it relates to glandular balance.During the past several decades the importance of the endocrine glands is being gradually rediscovered (ancient priests had set methods of stimulating glandular function to clarify meditation and spiritual procedures). Modern Science knows that normal human growth patterns depends on healthy glandular functions, and that the individual emotional patterns is intimately involved with glandular secretion. In reverse, any long sustained emotion has definite glandular and chemical effects on the body, adverse effects if the emotion is one of tension, frustration or depression; favorable effects if the emotion is generous, free flowing radiance.

Chemical defects have been pin-pointed as the cause of certain infant diseases, where raw nerves short circuit like an exposed electric wire, causing convulsions and usually death by the age of three or four. Administration of drugs to tip the chemical balance in one direction or another is of temporary palliative value, too often serving to mask natural symptoms and creating grave chemical insult. Again it is entirely feasible to overload a family with expensive calories, yet neglect the essential purifying ingredients which prevent accumulation of undesirable acids etc.,within the body.

It is part of the wife's job to maintain the delicate emotional and physical balance within her family circle. Heart attacks, ulcers, nervous breakdowns and the like can be directly traced to mental attitudes, thus chemical imbalance within the body. Wife, mother, nutritionist, homemaker, spiritual advisor, the list of experiences a woman needs to acquire to be a faithful servant to The Master is unending ... certainly no part time job. Once woman learns to take her responsibilities seriously, shortly thereafter humanity will learn to take very good care of itself, as .... Once again ...

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE RULES THE WORLD!
