1788. The one-poled beings – the male beings and the female beings – are thus unfinished beings when compared to the "human being in God's image". To turn the specific organic structure that maintains a psyche that can elicit only a partial sympathy for its surroundings or a sympathy for an indispensable and from the outset specifically suited neighbour, namely the being of the opposite sex, while calling forth rivalry and hatred towards the beings of its own sex, into an eternal, fixed moral basis maintained by the death penalty, can be only to defy to the greatest extent Nature, life or the will of God or the purpose of the human being. This cannot in the long run avoid being a sabotage of God's creation of the "human being in His image". The time has therefore come for us to take a brief look at the cycle with regard to the terrestrial human being's sexual, organic structure. Throughout the terrestrial human beings' entire present mental state, their sexual desire or need has not diminished. There is nothing whatsoever here that shows that the sexual principle in itself is in the process of coming to an end. It is, on the contrary, a fact that sexual satisfaction occurs on a scale that cannot possibly be contained within the limits of established, authorised, religious moral rectitude. Thus millions of acts of copulation are carried out using contraception, quite apart from the ocean of instances of sexual satisfaction that are carried out entirely outside the ordinary or so-called "natural" methods of copulation in the form of the so-called "unnatural" or "homosexual" phenomena. Moral precepts, judicial persecution and punishment, gossip, scorn and derision have thus been completely unable to stop the terrestrial human being's sexual evolution or keep sexual satisfaction within the prescribed, authorised moral laws. These moral laws have long since been weakened and broken, and have become meaningless to millions of terrestrial human beings. It is naturally a matter of course that judicial or police measures and interventions have been and still are necessary here, just as they are in relation to so many of life's other leading, mental dispositions. Protective measures are of course absolutely essential as long as people still have animal tendencies, to such a great extent as is the case, and do not shrink from satisfying their desires through power, terror, murder and killing, just as the temporary homelessness of their sexual drive has resulted in many individuals showing unnatural tendencies and turning them into sadists, pyromaniacs or beings with other serious derailments from normal sexual evolution. Such abnormal beings could of course be a danger to society and not least to these beings themselves if a protective, judicial wall were not put up against the derailment and its effects.
