production by means of sexual cells." But 

 here again we have to ask for the origin of 

 this origin, for the source of this cell-sexing, 

 or of sexuality itself. Can we find any ground 

 why Nature bifurcates itself anew into the 

 two sexes in order to reproduce the individ- 

 ual ? We perceive it to be a separation which 

 takes place in both the vegetal and animal or- 

 ganism, and which evolves by many grada- 

 tions up to the final diremption between the 

 human male and female. 



We have often had to turn back to the fact 

 that Nature is inherently separative, and in- 

 dividuates itself by the necessity of its origin. 

 Now this act of double or bi-parental Genera- 

 tion is one method of Nature's individuation, 

 that is, of reproducing the living individual. 

 Thus sexuality is an organic manifestation of 

 Nature's original creative energy; through 

 the sexes man (and indeed all Life) goes back 

 to the primordial fountain of the Universe as 

 self-generative and shares in that whereby 

 he too becomes self-generative, of course or- 

 ganically. Sex, then, as active is the process 

 of Nature's individuation in one of its phases, 

 that of creating sexed individuals in the off- 

 spring. The Universe as universal must be 

 self-creative, whereof the sexual process has 

 to be deemed a manifestation; thus the ani- 

 mal may be said to universalize itself, of
