KOSICRUCIAN PHILOSOPHY
a time when man was like the God or Elohim who created
him, in one particular sex. He was both male and female,
a hermaphrodite, capable of generating another being from
himself. Later it became necessary to his further evolution
that a brain should be evolved, and whereas he had pre-
viously sent out from himself the double creative force,
positive and negative, half of that was then retained for
the purpose of building a brain, a larynx, and a nervous
system, as organs of thought and a keyboard whereby the
spirit might manipulate its organism and express itself
vocally. Some of the spirits retain the positive creative
force and send out only the negative, or female force, while
others retain the female or negative force and send out
the positive. Thus it may be said that God took away from
them one side of their being, but not the rib. This reading
of the word has as good a claim to recognition as the
translation rib, and also has the further merit that it helps
to explain an otherwise unexplainable fact.
