The two one-poled sexual states as the source of what we call "evil"
1932. The above-mentioned two kinds of one-poled beings thus constitute the night zone of life. Owning or possessing one another is simply a vital necessity for the beings of these two sexes. Here we find the root of all rivalry and fighting, the root of these beings' possession and protection of their mate and offspring and of the material that is a vital necessity for them. Here we find the actual source of everything that later, when these beings have become terrestrial human beings, will be called "evil" and which the great humane religions have as their task to get the human beings to eradicate or combat in themselves.
