Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 5, sect. 1670

1670. Since the sexual organs are organs for experiencing the light of paradise directly, they constitute the living being's "holy of holies". Through these organs the son of God can make direct bodily contact with the Godhead. A greater contact with the body of God than that which occurs during the beings' act of copulation or sexual intercourse does not exist. It is the direct or indirect trigger of all existing experiences. It is the innermost pure column of fire from which all other sensations emanate as flames, sparks and ash. This pure fire is thus the nucleus of all other existing sensations, the stem on which these sensations can be but branches, leaves and flowers. It is this direct contact with the body of the Godhead that blazes through the young lovers' open embrace and melts them together making them "one flesh". It is the warmth of speech, the sparkle in the eye, the blushing of the cheek and the smile on the lip. Its sunny gleam is parental joy, motherly love and fatherly pride. But its sizzling fire also crackles and roars through the wild howls and vociferous cries of the jungle. It flashes and blazes through the lions' and tigers' lust for power. It is the songs of praise from thousands of winged throats on a spring morning, and it is the brilliantly coloured silent language of the flowery meadow that lends a fragrance of bliss to the magic of the light summer night, and it gives rise to an inkling of superterrestrial peace through the shaft of silvery moonlight on the smooth lake. Furthermore it induces thoughts about superterrestrial greatness and creation through the night's curtain of stars and cities of suns that sail past in their eternal cyclical orbits. There is thus no experience of bliss, well-being or joy of any kind that is not a branch, a leaf or a flower on the radiant stem of the "highest fire" that is made accessible through the organs of the sexual poles. Without this fire and these organs no happiness or bliss of any kind would therefore exist in heaven or on Earth.
