Whenever two are linked this way, there comes another
from the unseen world. It may be through birth,
if nothing prevents conception,
but a third does come, when two unite in love,
or in hate. The intense qualities born
of such a joining appear in the spiritual world.
You will recognize them when you go there.
Your associations bear progeny.
Be careful therefore. Wait and be conscious,
before you go to meet anyone.
Remember there are children to consider!
Children you must live with and tend to,
born of your emotions with another, entities
with a form, and speech, and a place to live.
They are crying to you even now.
‘You have forgotten us. Come back.’
Be aware of this. A man and a women together
always have spiritual result.
