SUMMARY AND REVIEW

This summary, when completed, gives you a comprehension of the primary points of the chapter in the text. Fill in the brackets with words or phrases that complete the ideas.

1. "Gender is in [ ]; [ ] has its Masculine and [ ] Principle; [ ] manifests on all levels." -- Summum

2. The great Seventh Summum Principle, the [ ] of Gender, embodies the idea that there is [ ] manifest in everything. The [ ] and [ ] principle are ever present and active in all phases of [ ], on each and every [ ] of [ ]. Point your [ ] to the fact that [ ], in the Summum sense, and [ ] in the ordinary accepted use of the term, are similar, but different in scope.

3. The word "[ ]" is derived from the [ ] root meaning "to beget; to [ ]; to [ ]; to create; to [ ]." Gender is a result of the ([ ]) of the TWO Grand [ ], NOTHING and [ ]. A moment’s consideration will show that the word has a much broader and more general meaning than the term "[ ]." Sex refers to the [ ] distinctions between [ ] and female living [ ]. Sex also refers to [ ], intercourse, [ ], and in this context, every [ ] is a form of sex; an [ ] and [ ] relationship between [ ] things or [ ] points bonding in the same [ ] field [ ].

4. The office of [ ] is solely that of creating, producing, [ ], etc., and its [ ] are visible on every [ ] of [ ]. It is somewhat difficult to produce [ ] of this along [ ] lines, because [ ] has not yet [ ] this Principle as of [ ] application. Still, some proofs are forthcoming from [ ] sources. There is a distinct [ ] of the Principle of [ ] among the [ ] [ ], such as electrons, the interactions of which form the basis of the [ ] bond as your [ ] now knows it. The formation of an [ ] compound (such as [ ] [ ], common table salt) is caused by the [ ] between [ ] charged particles. That is to say, when [ ] gives up a negatively charged [ ] to chlorine, the [ ] becomes positively [ ]; and when [ ] accepts the electron from [ ], the [ ] becomes negatively charged. The [ ], sodium [ ], results because the [ ] (+) and [ ] (-) ions are strongly [ ] to one another by their [ ] charges. Thus, [ ] [ ] come together and create or [ ] something that is [ ] than either one of them could be by [ ]. "It takes the [ ] of [ ] to make [ ] -- SUMMUM." The most ancient of Summum Teachings have always identified the masculine principle of Gender with the [ ], and the feminine with the so called negative points of [ ] -- POSSIBILITY and NOTHING.

5. There is a [ ] to be made [ ] this identification. The public [ ] has formed an entirely erroneous [ ] regarding the [ ] of the so called "[ ]" point of [ ] or magnetized matter. The word "[ ]" has [ ] on the meaning of something [ ] and [ ], as compared to "[ ]" which has the [ ] of being [ ] or [ ]. Nothing is further from the real facts of [ ] phenomena. The so called [ ] pole of the [ ] is really the [ ] in and by which the [ ] or [ ] of [] forms and energies are manifested. There is [ ] [ ] about it. The best scientific [ ] now use the word "cathode" in place of "[ ]." The word cathode comes from the Greek root meaning, "[ ]; the path of generation, etc." From the cathode pole [ ] the swarm of electrons. The [ ], or [ ] pole, is the [ ] principle of electrical [ ]. You may substitute the word "[ ]" for the old term negative when [ ] of the point of [ ]. A feminine [ ] becomes [ ] from, or rather leaves a [ ] particle and starts on a new [ ]. It actively [ ] a [ ] with a [ ] particle, being urged by the [ ] [ ] to create new forms of matter or energy ([ ]). This [ ] and uniting, what the [ ] term [ ] [ ] and bond [ ], form the [ ] for the greater part of the [ ] of the [ ] world. When the feminine particle [ ] with a masculine [ ], a certain process is begun. The feminine particles [ ] (resonate) rapidly under the [ ] of the masculine [ ], and circle [ ] around the [ ], resulting in the [ ] of a new [ ]. This new [ ] is composed of the [ ] of the [ ] and feminine (i.e. the [ ] charged [ ] and the negatively charged chlorine). After the [ ] is [ ], a new entity [ ] and becomes a [ ] composition (i.e. sodium chloride), having certain [ ] but no longer manifesting the property of [ ] electricity.

6.  The role of the [ ] principle seems to be that of directing a certain [ ] energy toward the feminine principle and thus [ ] the [ ] processes. The [ ] principle is the one always doing the active creative work -- and this is so on all [ ]. Each principle is [ ] of operative [ ] without the assistance of the other. In some [ ] forms, the two principles are [ ] within [ ] organism. For that matter, everything in the [ ] [ ] manifests both [ ]. There is always the [ ] present in the feminine form, and the [ ] present in the masculine [ ]. The Summum Teachings include much regarding the operation of the [ ] principles of [ ] in the production and [ ] of various forms of [ ], etc.
