Through two-poled sexuality God forms His own image in flesh and blood
1899. Seeing that the evolution of the opposite pole, by virtue of the cosmic insight this evolution entails, makes the being love not merely sexually but also to the greatest extent intellectually, the sympathy that was previously manifested through one-poled sexuality as the unintellectual and thereby primitive or selfish display of emotions that we know as "amorous love", now manifests itself through two-poled sexuality as a display of consciousness and way of being that we know by the concept of "love", a display of consciousness that to the very greatest extent is regulated by outstanding high-intellectuality and is thereby unselfish. With this latter form of expression of sympathy the being is thus able to love without demanding any conditions whatsoever from the object of its sympathy or true love. With its cosmic ability it finds great joy or happiness in being able to fully understand the object of its love and, by virtue of this understanding, being able to completely love this being as it loves itself. It can thus love its fellow being regardless of any beautiful or ugly outer forms or any karmic bodily impairments or disabilities it may have. It is the inner son-of-god-like being, I and spirit residing within the outer aspect of this body, which has been stunted and wasted away by fate, that is the true object of the completely evolved, two-poled being's sexuality. With the evolution of the two-poled sexuality in the living being, all forms of jealousy are removed. And the primordial source of all spiritual darkness in the being is thereby removed from its psyche. The culminating two-poled being or the completely evolved human being J can thus be only a true being of love. In truth, through being fashioned by God the death-giving animal has here become a life-giving human being. God has formed His own image in flesh and blood.
