Mind's pure thought

God determines the gender of His own ideas. Gen- der is mental, not material. The seed within itself is the pure thought emanating from divine Mind. The feminine gender is not yet ex- pressed in the text. Gender means simply kind or sort, and does not necessarily refer either to masculinity or femininity. The word is not confined to sexuality, and grammars always recognize a neuter gender, neither male nor female. The Mind or intelligence of produc- tion names the female gender last in the ascending order of creation. The intelligent individual idea, be it male or female, rising from the lesser to the greater, unfolds the infinitude of Love.
