1480. But is it not a sin to use "contraception"? Is it not glaringly against the laws of Nature to interfere with a natural process to one's own advantage and thereby prevent it from fulfilling its natural purpose? When two beings, in this case a "man" and a "woman", enter into the process that makes them "one flesh", manifested as sexual intercourse, is it not the intention of Nature that "fertilisation" should take place? Is this process not intended to provide the possibility for a discarnated being to incarnate in the flesh or the physical world? By interfering with intercourse in a way that excludes this possibility for the discarnated being, one goes against Nature's own laws. If all terrestrial human beings interfered with intercourse in this way, there would be no possibilities for incarnation, and the human race would die out completely. Indeed, this is quite true, as long as "all" terrestrial human beings interfered with their sexual pleasure in this way, but that is of course exactly what they do not do, and never will. Such a risk can therefore never arise. Why not? If "contraception" became a universal doctrine, stimulated and authorised by all authorities, could it not become so widespread that it could be catastrophic for the survival of terrestrial mankind? No, even with such an authorisation backing it up it would not be able to grow to a catastrophic level. And, in any case, is there not widespread propaganda for contraception? Are there not a great number of shops that supply the necessary materials or articles for the above-mentioned purpose? Are there not advertisements in all the major magazines and journals that offer these articles or products for sale, just as they are also mentioned in every detailed medical encyclopaedia? Do not these details in themselves constitute widespread propaganda? Is it not almost impossible for any intellectual terrestrial human being who keeps up with current problems, to be ignorant of the possibility of this intervention, quite apart from the thousands who in another way, quite without aids or devices interrupt intercourse so that fertilisation cannot take place? One can thus assume that millions upon millions of terrestrial human beings intervene in their process of intercourse and prevent fertilisation, and yet there are plenty of beings to stand in queues for their share of even the very bare essentials of life: food, clothing and housing. To this must then be added the great percentage of the beings that are born but that never manage to get their fair share of the assets and must perish in destitution and misery long before they have lived a normal span of terrestrial life, indeed, sometimes even in their very first years of infancy.
      Although "contraception" is practised on a large scale, there is absolutely no lack of people to receive the necessities of life that the political or administrative social order of the moment is able to make available to the public. But is not the same true of other processes of Nature where terrestrial human beings intervene? Is it conceivable that the oceans could ever be emptied of fish because terrestrial human beings fish on a large scale? Is it conceivable that the terrestrial human beings could wipe out the animals because eating meat its permitted? Is it conceivable that the same beings could turn the Earth into a desert because they eat vegetables? Is it not conceivable that what applies to these phenomena applies equally to water? There is surely no one who believes that there is less and less water in the world because all beings are allowed to drink it? But how should "that which is edible" in the world be easier to use up or wipe out than "that which is drinkable"? Are not both food and drink subject to exactly the same cycle as all other matter in the world? Does not all excrement seek to go the same way as sewage water? Do not faeces, as well as the fallen leaves and withered flowers, fall to the earth as "manure" and from there go on to become nourishment for new plants, only to grow up again as new nutrients and new "vegetables"? And does not sewage water or water from muddy puddles, likewise hasten towards the earth where it is filtered, and does it not re-emerge as crystal-clear spring water for drinking, then hastening onwards as brooks, streams and rivers, where it evaporates and turns into the pure air that we breathe, or ascends to the heights to become the shining summer clouds that take part in lending a morning and evening glow to our local hilltop as well as to the more impressive heights of distant countries?
      There is thus nothing to indicate that "contraception" is catastrophic for the survival of terrestrial mankind, and that terrestrial human reproduction, and thereby terrestrial human flesh, should for this reason be outside the law of the cycle. It is, on the contrary, an incontestable fact that there are plenty of individuals, in fact, one could perhaps even say that there are far too many in relation to the administrative skills possessed up till now by terrestrial human society or its understanding of the distribution of the Earth's collected material assets among the beings.
      As we have seen here "contraception" does not cause any particular outer physical harm or misfortune. On the contrary, it must in certain given situations be acknowledged as a blessing. Through "contraception" the advanced and thereby maritally degenerated terrestrial human being can remedy the consequences of his or her unsuitability for parenthood.
