usurped her place to the limit. Here man may no longer seek to be his own opposite in the Law. The Two Witnesses of life shall approach creation in all the earth to give expression to the triune body of life. Two, in all nature, are related to give body to the One Law. Man will not create the regeneration. Woman will not create the regeneration. Man and woman will create the body of relative life in which Life manifests as the regeneration. Life creates. Man establishes lawful, whole, creative relations with and for the Law. Thus Man is not Law but partaker of life with Law. Without the life which is given by the Law his heritage is death. The problem of equality is not a dual functional problem, but a problem of dual relation to One, in One. Primitive understanding will ever relate two things, one to the other. The self-evident truth of the triune body is: Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. Now the center between opposites is the first-third-same thing, which sustains two, establishing "things" within its own body of life. To know this "third day" of nature is to know the Lord of the resurrection. The day man sees this central third law is a resurrection day, to him. Now the "third day" is universally ignored. Day when Law ascends. Day of victory over death. Day when rocks are rent in twain. Now the "third day" of natural law lies in the midst of two, to write each opposite "thing" in all the universe, equal in the same thing. The third day lies in the midst of two, to write its two opposite arms, not as one, or as two, but to write each "end" of the circle, from the center, as, 33. In this writing each receives the triune name which is "my name." Not until this equal, central, opposite division of the duality is seen, in union, can the regeneration begin to manifest the earth, at 33. Not until this law is seen can six vessels be seen filled with wine from the fountain of the midst, and the mother of the regeneration there. Man will keep the figure of his original naught before him. This figure is a creative symbol, it is the earth. Man will thus sow the normal seed of Thought, creating globular worlds within worlds to arrive at whole facts. From opposite ends of the circle of the earth woman approaches the creative centers of life, to meet the opposite arm of life; not, as male and female, but as sons of God, before the throne of life, while Love declares unto the world, Now are ye the sons of God. The manhood of this soil, seeing the Law, will talk no more of "identity of function," no more of the equality of two things. Man, seeing the equality of nature, will seek to establish that equality, and not his own primitive outlook upon equality. Seeing the One Law, he will no longer see woman in relation to himself. He, looking at the Law, will see himself as the one to give birth to the Law through her, to become with her the triune Son of God. She then becomes to him his brother, his sister, his wife, and his one Law. In and through her he is united in conscious understanding to his Maker and Lord as the whole spirit of truth descends upon him. The woman has become again the star of his life. Seeing her, he leaves hell and purgatory far behind, ascending to that heaven of regeneration where a new leadership is seen descending upon the world. And is this new leadership the womanhood of the world? Woman has no right to leadership anywhere in all the earth. Is man then to be again the dominant one upon the throne of civilization? Nowhere in life has man the right to lead or be the dominant. Who then is the new leader of life in the morning of a new day? The Law strong and mighty! In the dawning new era Life is to be lifted up and Law is to be king upon the throne of Life. The glory of the new democracy is that it will develop a manhood and a womanhood which cannot be led and which will not lead. Having seen the woman within the triune body of life the new era has begun its reign in the brain of a race. Having seen the Law man and nation stand already at the gate of the Paradise of regeneration to write with Dante: Thus far hath one of steep Parnassus brows |
