The concept of the male-female soul is another item which belongs to the higher spiritualism. There was a somewhat similar concept propagated by Laurence Oliphant. However, it is not acceptable because in the loftiest mystical experience the body is lost and forgotten. With it the thought of sex must inevitably go too. There is no room for it, in however refined, disguised, romanticized, or intellectualized form it may be, in the utter purity of the timeless, spaceless, supersensual form--Spirit.
