for gold, we wonder what condemnation is adequate to meet
the case of those who advertise them as commercial wares,
particularly when, in the nature of things, they are unable
to deliver the goods offered for sale. The inquirer is under
a misapprehension when he believes that only men are
Initiates, at least so far as the Lesser Mysteries are con-
cerned. There are women Initiates and sometimes even
Initiates of the Greater Mysteries take upon
themselves a
feminine body for the sake of a special work which they
desire to accomplish. It is true, however, that those who
have advanced so far that they have a choice regarding sex
usually prefer a male body,
and the reason is not far to
seek. Woman has a positive vital body but a negative
dense body and is, therefore, somewhat at a disadvantage in
the world as at present constituted. Striving for the higher
ideals and living the higher life, we spiritualize the vital
body and transmute it into soul which is always positive
a power useable regardless of sex and when the Initiate
wears a masculine body also, he is thoroughly positive
in the Physical World and has a better chance for ad-
vancement than when using a feminine vehicle.
