The Mystery of Sex, or Sex Polarity

...exerting some kind of energy or force upon the negative particles, causing them to group themselves in certain ways to form specific combinations, which results in the creation of the atom. The various elements—the different fundamental kinds of matter—are believed to acquire their unique properties because of the different ways these negative electrons group and combine around a single positive electron.

This behavior of the electrons, which make up all matter, aligns closely with the ancient Secret Teachings original: "Arcane Teaching" regarding the male and female particles of matter, which build up more complex forms through their interaction. The moment we recognize that the "positive" is the male principle and the "negative" is the female, we can understand modern scientific discoveries in the light of the Ancient Wisdom. However, the word "negative" is a poor choice for describing the principle of creative activity. Despite the name, the actions and qualities of this "negative" aspect of matter prove that it is actually the female principle.

The negative pole of an electrical battery is truly the "creative" original: "generative" pole. Many leading experts are now using the word "cathode" to name the "negative" pole of a battery; this term comes from a Greek word original: kathodos meaning "descent" or "the path of birth" original: "the path of generation". From this cathode, or female pole of the battery, swarm the corpuscles an early scientific term for subatomic particles, later called electrons or electrons. These include the new "rays" recently discovered by science and the strange, poorly understood energies that are currently revolutionizing scientific thought. These remarkable things always emerge from the negative, cathode, or female element of the battery. The positive, or male pole, never "gives birth" original: "brings forth", even though it is required to energize and bring to life original: "vivify" the matching female element. Is the feminine nature not proven here by the strongest kind of comparison? Is the male element not also clearly visible? This cannot be a mere coincidence—especially when we can see that the Sex Principle In this context, the author refers to a universal principle of gender or polarity, rather than biological sex alone. is present throughout all the activities of Nature.
