CHAPTER II

The Law of Love

We find manifestations of the creative Sex Principle not only in animal and vegetable forms, but even within the world of minerals. In the crystallization the process by which a solid forms, where the atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure known as a crystal of minerals, we can observe a phenomenon closely related to the reproductive processes in the simplest forms of animal and plant cells. Just as cells reproduce through growth and division, crystals do the same. Infant crystals begin to form from the "mother liquid" original: "mother liquid"; in chemistry, this is the part of a solution that remains after substances have crystallized out. Once they are formed, they draw more nourishment from this mother liquid and begin to form the nucleus the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth of a new crystal, which eventually splits off from the older one.

In many ways, the phenomena of crystallization resemble the manifestation of creative sex activity in cell life. This is to be expected, for if the Sex Principle is universal, then it must be evident to at least a small degree in everything. Even in the atoms behind the crystal's shape, we may see it operating as chemical affinity the tendency of different chemical species to react and form compounds. Even in the electrons that make up the atom, we see its presence indicated by the positive (male) electrons and their negative (female) counterparts—the former providing energy, and the latter generating shape and form. Even in the energies and forces of nature, we see evidence of polarization the division into two sharply contrasting groups or sets of opinions or beliefs; in physics, the orientation of vibrations, which is ultimately a manifestation of Sex.

William Marion Reedy an influential American journalist and editor (1862–1920) known for his literary magazine, Reedy's Mirror, in his brilliant essay titled "The Law of Love," highlights the universality of the Sex Principle, or as he calls it, the "Principle of Love." Among other things, he says:

"The world should not be astonished by Professor Otto Von Schroen's a German physician and scientist (1837–1917) who gained notoriety for claiming that crystals possess a form of life and sex recent alleged discovery of life and sex in crystals. Since the beginning of time, humanity has felt that nothing was truly inanimate. His
