SECOND AND REVISED EDITION

Preface

This book has a bold name, and its purpose is serious. There is a great difference between Purity and Ignorance. The Race is ignorant of the destructive force of Sin (Lust) and is not Pure. I am convinced that the only way to teach the Race, Purity, is to teach the Race the Crime of Sin (Lust), and its destructive force. This book is just as bold as to Sin and Lust, as is the Bible, and no more. I have made an honest effort in this volume to interpret the Sex of the Bible so as to teach men and women how Lust destroys soul, mind, and body — and how Purity saves soul, mind, and body. There could be no higher purpose, for any book and any volume that teaches this as the Bible does, must be plain, for the Bible is true to nature — and is not a Book for children. This book is written for adults and is sold to adults only.

Since writing my books on the Bible I have had frequent requests as to the mental and spiritual nature of my parents. Both my father and my mother died when I was a child. I have no photograph of my father, but through the goodness of an old lady friend, I came into possession of a photograph of my mother, after I became a man — and it is run in this book to meet the requests named. Those who knew my mother and know me, say I am the living image of her. They tell me she was very spiritual and a woman of great goodness of heart; and those who knew my father tell me that he was a man of great moral conviction, and the character of the parents is living in these works.

I hope the Work will do much good, and will teach men and women that Lust only means death, and that Purity leads to health, the Kingdom of God, and Life Eternal.

Sincerely,

Sex, The Key To The Bible.

Chapter I

After Adam and Eve indulged in the lust of the flesh, by sexual intercourse, the "Lord God cursed the ground. " The ground here is the flesh. It is Matter. It is the Flesh. Adam was told "that from dust he was taken and to dust he should return." This is the same "earth" that man "who was made in God's image" was told to be "fruitful, multiply, increase, refill and subdue." It is Matter. It is the Flesh. It is the material man — it is the flesh and the lust of the flesh.

Ground and earth here, in the original, are the same, and mean the material man and the lust of the flesh. That is Matter. . They are the Adam man. The original for Adam means, "red earth." It is the "flesh and blood" that our Lord said could not "inherit the kingdom of heaven." Red is that quality of mind which loves the flesh. It is the quality of the mind of lust. It is the quality of mind of the orgasm of the sex act. It is crimson. This is the earth that the Lord God cursed. He said, "Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat of the herbs of the field." Gen. 3. 18.

Thorns and thistles of the earth here, are symbolic of the sins and diseases of the lust of the flesh. All living was of spirit until the fall. All food was spiritual substance until the fall. Then material food became necessary for the material body. The earth that was cursed was the lust of the flesh, and the curse was insanity, syphilis, gonorrhoea, leprosy, and all the diseases that follow as the result of the lust of the flesh, and finally death itself.

The Lord God told the woman that her desire should be unto her husband. This desire is controlled by the solar system. It is a sex desire. It is the most intense' just before and after her monthly sickness. This thought is controlled by the solar system. She was told that in sorrow she should conceive and bring forth children. The desire to conceive is within the sex mind. This desire is controlled by the solar system. After conception the woman is in pain and sorrow, and her thoughts, moods and change of mind are controlled by the solar system. The woman was told that her husband should rule over her. This is the law of the sex mind of the female; she desires to submit sexually unto the maje and to be ruled by him, and this thought is controlled by the solar system. Man was told that he should "leave father and mother and cleave unto the woman." This is the sex law of the male and this thought is controlled by the solar system. The sex mind is within the nerve cells of the brain and the generative organs. This is the land of Shinar, and the land of Egypt, Chaldea, and all paganism. It is sex consciousness and sex worship. In all the Orient, and the ancient world, can be found, in the museums and art galleries, statues and art figures half man and half beast; half woman and half beast, and men united to men, and women united to women, and men united to beast, and women united to beast can be found everywhere in the Art and Literatutre of the Ancient and Pagan World. This art represents the sex thought of the ancient pagans. It represents the sex thought of men cohabiting with beast, and women cohabiting with beast, and men cohabiting with men, and women with women. This thought is within the cells of the brain and the generative organs. It is of the material senses and matter. It is the lowest and most degraded state of sex worship. Moses prohibited it under the Mosaic Law, St. Paul wrote against it, St. Peter and St. Jude wrote against it, and the Apostles preached against it. Adam was told that, having yielded and indulged with Eve, he should die. This thought of the mind of lust is the thought of death. Hence, the serpent mind goes from the state of natural intercourse through all states of degradation and finally to the degraded state of the desire to cohabit with dead bodies. This sex thought is death and desires death; hence, Moses prohibited the children of Israel, and the Priests of Israel, from cohabiting with dead bodies, as did the Egyptians and the Egyptian priests. The Egyptian priests cohabited with dead bodies, as is taught by Moses.

The law of death of the sex mind is clearly brought out in the sixth chapter of Revelation. In the second verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the white horse; "he went forth conquering and to conquer. " White is a quality of the mind. It is that quality of mind which symbolizes purity. It is that quality of mind which does not know the love of the lust of the flesh. It is the Christ idea and the Christ mind. It goes forth "conquering and to conquer" the death of the sex mind and the lust of the flesh.

In the fourth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the red horse. "And power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another." The color red, here, is a quality of mind; it is that quality of mind which is the love of the lust of the flesh, and it takes peace from the earth. Earth here means flesh, and the mind of lust takes peace from the flesh. It diseases the flesh. "And they shall kill one another. " The lust of the flesh causes men to kill and murder each other.

In the fifth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the black horse. Black is that quality of mind which is of more intense lust than red. It is the opposite of white; it is of the lust of the flesh and hell.

In the eighth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the pale horse. "And his name that sat on him was Death; and hell followed with him." This is the last and most intense state of the mind of lust. It is death and hell. We see this "pale horse" around us daily. We see men and women pale and destroyed through sex indulgence and from self-abuse. The syphilitic, the paralytic, the insane, the deaf and blind, come from this "pale horse" of death.

In the thirteenth verse of the second chapter of Revelation we are told where "Satan's seat is." It is within the sex mind. It is the "pale horse of death." This sex mind is the "Gentile world." It is the seat of death. The Gentile world is within the senses of the cells of the brain and the generative organs. This is the Land of Paganism.

In Revelation, fifth chapter, ninth and tenth verses, we are told that the saints who overcome this sex mind of death, "sing a new song." Those who are redeemed from every kingdom, tribe, and nation, give praise unto God, and they are made kings and priests unto God. We are told that red is a quality of mind; it is that quality of mind which is the love of the lust of the flesh, and it takes peace from the earth. Earth here means flesh, and the mind of lust takes peace from the flesh. It diseases the flesh. "And they shall kill one another." The lust of the flesh causes men to kill and murder each other.

In the fifth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the black horse. Black is that quality of mind which is of more intense lust than red. It is the opposite of white; it is of the lust of the flesh and hell.

In the eighth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the pale horse. "And his name that sat on him was Death; and hell followed with him." This is the last and most intense state of the mind of lust. It is death and hell. We see this "pale horse" around us daily. We see men and women pale and destroyed through sex indulgence and from self-abuse. The syphilitic, the paralytic, the insane, the deaf and blind, come from the "pale horse" of death. "They that overcome shall reign on the earth. " "Earth" here means the flesh. For this passage to be given the correct spiritual meaning it should read, "And they shall reign OVER THE FLESH." These are the saints. They are those who have overcome the sex mind and death.

In the seventh and eighth verses of the ninth chapter of Revelation, we have the idea brought out, of the sex thought, where men and women desire the lower animal creation for sex purposes.

"The locust and the horse are prepared unto battle," and "their faces were as the faces of men." "And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions." Here we have the sex thought of men cohabiting with the lower animals, and women cohabiting with the lower animals. The prophets of the Old Testament bring out the same idea; it is the lowest state of degradation and death. This thought of degredation and death of the serpent mind is all through the Bible. "And in those days shall men seek death and shall not find it; and shall desire to die and death shall flee from them." This is the law of death of the serpent mind. It leads to remorse of conscience, to disease, and to death. All through Revelation and the Bible this sex mind is symbolized by the serpent, the dragon and the scorpion. It is the abandonded state of lust, death and hell.

Our Lord said, in speaking of the temple at Jerusalem, "It is written, my Father's house is a house of prayer, and ye have made it a den of thieves." The temple represented his body, and he lived within his body as the house of prayer, for he had overcome the lust of the flesh. To make this body a den of thieves, is to live within the sex thought. The sex thought is dishonest in every thing that it does and thinks. This is the "red dragon" of Revelation. Red is the quality of mind that T oves the lust of the flesh.

The "red Sea" was symbolic of the same quality of mind. Sea in the Bible, metaphysically speaking, is symbolic of the sex mind, and its quality of mind is red, which is lust. The children of Israel were coming out of this state of mind and thought, and going into Cannan, which was the land of spiritual truth. Hence the red sea rolled back, so as to let them pass over on dry land. The Egyptians were living within the sex thought, hence the red sea closed in on them. We are told in Isaiah, eleventh chapter fourth verse that "God shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked." "Earth" here means flesh. It is matter. It is the love of the flesh and lust. The "wicked" are those who live for the lust of the flesh. "Wickedness" is within the cells of the brain and the generative organs; it is the sex thought. There were seven lions in the lion's den, where Daniel was placed. One of them was a big lion. There are seven sensual lobes of the brain. There is one big lobe at the base of the brain which is the seat of sensuality and it connects the other six lobes of the brain. This is the "Seat of Satan", in Revelation. This big lobe of the brain that connects the other six lobes, is the big lion that was in the lion's den. The seven lobes of the brain were the seven lions. Daniel was pure, and "innocency was found in him," hence the lions did not harm him. He lived above the sex thought of the seven lobes of the brain. The sex thought of the seven lobes of the brain are the seven devils that our Lord cast out of Mary Magdelene. Seven is an earthly number, that is, a fleshly number. It is the symbol of the complete thought of the seven lobes of the brain. It is complete sin. This is the angel with the seven last plagues of Revelation. It is the complete sex thought working out its course of destruction. Its plagues are syphilis, and all diseases of the race, viz: insanity, wars, and all the sorrows of the race. They are all within the sex thought. Seven is likewise a heavenly number. "It is the seven spirits before the throne of God;" "it is the seven churches and the seven golden candlesticks, and the seven angels, and the seven stars," in Revelation. These symbolize the mind of purity completely overcoming the thought of the sex mind, which is located within the cells of the seven lobes of the brain. They symbolize the Divine Mind completely overcoming the sex thought of the human mind or earthly mind. They symbolize the mind overcoming lust and matter. There are twleve months in the year; these twelve seasons control the thought of the sex mind. ' This is the law of the solar system. There are twelve faculties in the mind, hence the twelve Apostles and the twelve tribes of Israel.

In Revelation, we have within the Holy City, "the tree of life bearing its twelve manner of fruits for the healing of the nations." "The twelve manner of fruits for the healing of the nations" is symbolic of purity overcoming sensuality. It is symbolic of the mind overcoming lust and matter. It is symbolic of the Divine Mind manifested upon the soul until the soul has overcome the sex thought of the human mind. This is the material "stars falling," and "the sea fleeing away," and "earth being no more," as recorded in Revelation. It is the senses of the brain going out of consciousness. It is the sex thought going out of consciousness. "The new heaven and new earth," of Revelation is the spiritual creation. Twelve is a heavenly number as well as an earthly number. There is a correspondency all through the Bible between mind and matter, and between heaven and earth. Matter and earth (flesh) is a sex thought. Spirit and heaven constitute the mind, living above matter and the sex thought. As matter and the sex thought pass out of consciousness, heaven and the spiritual creation is gained in consciousness. Gold is the symbol of this state of spiritual thought. Gold will not adulterate easily with other matter and foreign substances. It symbolizes the purity of the mind free from the flesh. It is the symbol of clean thoughts which are not adulterated with the sex thoughts of the flesh; hence, Moses was commanded to place gold all through the Tabernacle and on the altar. The Tabernacle was the symbol of our Lord's body. He was in the flesh, but lived above the sex thought of the flesh. Our bodies are the sanctuaries and the houses of God, in proportion as we overcome the sex thought and the lust of the flesh. We sanctify our bodies and make them the houses and the temples of the living God as we overcome the lust of the flesh and the sex thought. Moses was commanded to let the light burn continuously upon the altar. Light is that quality of mind which is above the lust of the flesh and the sex thought. This is the light that shall light the eternal city of the New Jersusalem, and we should let this Light of Purity, in thought, shine every moment in our minds. St. John tells us in Revelation that the moon and sun shall not give the Holy City light, but that God Almighty shall be the light thereof. There will be no matter in the Holy City. It is the city of mind, with the mind purified from the love of the flesh, hence "God Almighty and the Lamb shall be the light thereof/ ' The sun and moon are the light of the senses. Their light is material light. It is manifested upon and through the material senses. There will be no material senses in the Holy City; matter shall have been overcome, hence the sun and moon shall not be the light of it.

The solar system controls the sensual or sex mind. The sensual or sex mind is the mind of the senses or nerve cells of the brain and generative organs. When the senses shall go out of consciousness, the solar system shall "roll away like a scroll." This is the end of time. This is the falling of Babylon. It is the death of the dragon. It is the overcoming of the lust of the flesh and matter. It is "the new heaven and new earth," "wherein all things are made new." This new creation is spiritual, and "the light thereof is God Almighty and the Lamb."

In the first chapter of Genesis we have the account of creation, and the days of creation. These days represent the unfolding of the senses of the brain into consciousness. These seven days are the account of creation and the unfolding of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain into consciousness.

The senses of the seven lobes of the brain are directly connected with the generative organs and the nervous system. The senses of the generative organs constitute the seven heads upon "which the woman sitteth" in Revelation, and the seven lobes of the brain are the "seven mountains upon which the woman sitteth," in Revelation. The nerves of the seven lobes of the brain are connectecKwith the nerves of the generative organs, that constitute the seven heads of the serpent. Seven is therefore an earthly number, in that it is the symbol of the sensual or sex mind, in that there are seven lobes of the brain where sensuality is located. This is the "seat of Satan," in Revelation. As we overcome the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs, we rise above the flesh, that is, the earth, and enter heaven — that is, a spiritual state of consciousness. The complete overcoming of the seven senses of the brain and generative organs is heaven. Seven is also a heavenly number. It is the symbol, as a heavenly number, of having completely overcome the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and generative organs in thought.

We are told in Genesis, first chapter and twenty-fourth verse, "And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beast of the earth after his kind; and it was so."

The living creatures here "of the earth" are symbolic of the sensual thoughts. All the beast creation is controlled by the sensual in thought. The beast creation is of the "earth," that is, of the sensual. We are told in Genesis, first chapter, and twenty-fifth verse, "that God made every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind."

The beast creation that "creepeth upon the earth" is sensual. It is of the sensual. We are told in the twenty-sixth verse and first chapter of Genesis, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Man made in the image of God was above the sensual in thought. The dominion given to man over the "fish of the sea and the fowls of the air and the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth," in Genesis, is symbolic. The fish of the sea, here, is symbolic of the swimming sensual thoughts in consciousness. The sea is controlled by the solar system, as is the sex mind. The cattle of the earth are sensual, hence man was given dominion in mind and thought over them. He was given dominion over the fowls of the air. This is symbolic of the fact that man was given dominion over the flying sensual thoughts that flow through and into consciousness. He was commanded to have dominion over them. Finally this man made in God's image was given dominion over every "creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." The "creeping things" of the earth are sensual. The earth is sensual. It is "earth and earthy." It is of the senses and the lobes of the brain and the generative organs. Adam is the carnal senses of the physical man. These senses of the sensual man creep and crawl in consciousness. Man made in God's image was given dominion over them; that is, he was spiritual and given domionion over the flesh.

On the seventh day God completed his work. The material and spiritual creations were completed. "And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it." This is symbolic of a holy state of thought. It is the heavenly number seven. It is that state of mind wherein man has dominion over the senses of the lobes of the brain and the generative organs, and all that is carnal. It is that state of mind wherein man has dominion "over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth;" that is, it is that state of mind wherein man has complete dominion over every lust thought of the flesh.

Earth, here, in this account of Genesis, is the same earth that the saints are redeemed from, in Revelation. It is the lust of the flesh. It is the sensual thoughts of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs. The saints in Revelation who are "redeemed from the earth" are those "who are not defiled by women." They have overcome the lust of the flesh which is the earth. The earth here in the account of creation in Genesis is the same earth that is in Revelation. It is the flesh.

God says, in Revelation, he will "destroy those who destroy the earth" — that is, he will destroy those who destroy the flesh through lust. The earth here in Genesis in the account of creation is the earth in Revelation where we are told that those who get the victory over the "earth" (the beast) — that is over the flesh — that they shall have dominion over the flesh and have eternal life.

The earth here is the same earth as that at the confusion of tongues at the tower of Babel. We are told God came down at the tower of Babel and "confused and confounded the language of all the earth". The language of the earth of the tower of Babel was the language of the senses of the brain and the generative organs. -It was the language and thought of the lust of the flesh. Babel, Babylon and the serpent that deceived Eve, all have the same root meaning, and mean the "babbler" or "confusion."

The senses of the lobes of the brain and the generative organs and their thoughts are confusion.

The root meaning of the word "serpent" that deceived Eve means babbler and has the same root meaning as the Hebrew word Babel, and Greek, Babylon. The meaning of these words all have the same root meaning; they mean confusion and the gate to god — that is, the gate to the flesh — that is the confusion of the orgasm of the sex act of the senses.

The orgasm of the sex act, is the gate to the god of the senses or the way to the good of the senses. The tower of Babel is within the cells of the senses of the brain of every man and woman. jThe city of Babylon and the city of Gomorrah, and the city of Sodom, are within the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and generative organs of every man and woman. These were physical cities, it is true, but the people who lived there were living in a state of thought of the senses of the brain and the generative organs. They were lustful and carnal. Mentally and Biblically speaking, a city is a state of mind. The race is living in Babylon today — that is, in the thought of the senses of the brain and generative organs — that is, it is lustful and carnal and spiritually dead.

The senses of the seven lobes of the brain and generative organs — are the "earth" into which the Lord God turned man when he fell — that is, Adr,m and Eve had sexual intercourse and they came into the consciousness of the senses of the flesh and died.

The lust of the flesh is death and this must be overcome before eternal life can be obtained. The overcoming of the lust of the flesh is the gospel. It is the new mind of the spirit and eternal life. Adam and Eve were told that the moment that they partook of the forbidden fruit they should know good and evil and should die. The knowledge of evil is death. Evil is the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs; it is the lust of the flesh, and the knowledge of evil must be overcome to obtain life. Sickness, sin and death, are within the consciousness of evil, that is within the consciousness of the senses of the brain and generative organs, which is the consciousness of the lust of the flesh.

When the consciousness of evil is overcome, that is, when the consciousness of the flesh is overcome, the consciousness of sickness, sin and death are overcome. Our Lord overcame evil — that is, he overcame the senses of the flesh, and healed the sick and raised the dead. He was above the senses of the flesh in thought. He was so pure that he knew not evil and the flesh, and therefore had power over death.

"The Word was made flesh.' , That is, Jesus was the Son of God in the flesh. He was the mind of God in the flesh. He was in the flesh without the mind of the flesh, and the Holy Son of God.

Chapter II

In the fourth chapter of Genesis we have the story of good and evil personified in the persons of Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel are symbols of good and evil; that is of purity and carnality. The term Abel is from the Hebrew, "Hebel" and means Mind, and not Matter. In the original it means the non-material. It is the mind free from carnality and the love of matter. We are told in Genesis 4:4, that Abel was a keeper of sheep. The original reads a"feeder"of sheep. The term "sheep" in the Bible is the symbol of purity. It is the symbol of the mind free from the love of the flesh. Our Lord said that His sheep knew His voice; that is, those who had overcome carnality and lust were pure and understood his Spiritual teachings. He told Peter to feed His sheep and His Lambs. That is, to feed those who had overcome Lust with Spiritual food. Abel was a feeder of sheep. He is the mind of Spiritual understanding, which has overcome the lust of the flesh, and feeds the Soul on the Spiritual ideas of the Divine Mind. Cain was a tiller of the ground or earth. Ground, or earth, here means the carnal senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the senses of the generative organs where the seat of Satan is located. "Eve conceived and bare Cain, and said "I have gotten a man from the Lord," Genesis 4:1. Cain in the original means "acquired." Eve acquired the knowledge of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs, when she had sexual intercourse. She then became conscious of evil. And evil is the consciousness of the senses of the brain and of the generative organs. Eve said that she had gotten this knowledge of the Lord. And so does every woman who has sexual intercourse and bears a child as the result of lust. Every woman since the fall has claimed that the senses are good. But this is a lie. All are conceived in lust and sin and must be born again; that is, overcome the mind of lust to reach the Kingdom of Heaven — that is to reach the Kingdom of Mind purified from the love of matter. The term Cain in the original also means "to pierce and to kill." When Adam and Eve acquired the knowledge of the senses of the brain and of the generative organs, the lust of the flesh penetrated the mind of their consciousness and their lives. Cain was a tiller of the soil. The lust mind cultivates the senses in thought. Soil here means "earth," or the carnal senses of the brain and the generative organs. It is matter. The lust mind cultivates the senses. Cain brought forth the fruit of the ground, as an offering unto the
