Another thing that comes to mind is the purported teach- ing of the 32nd degree in Masonry. I am not a Mason, so am not "giving away" secret teachings. But in some general read- ing I have done I ran across the item that the particular "se- cret" imparted as one reaches the very pinnacle of the Masonic teaching--the 32nd. degree-- is that the masculine and the fem- inine shall in time come together in the same individual, and . that this is the greatest secret of ultimate creativity I do know that in metaphysical and mystical teachings, there is a widespread though not generally known teaching of the coming together in the same individual of both the masculine and fem- inine qualities, if not even the male and female physiolog- ical elements, and that this is considered the goal toward which one phase of human evolution is working. It may be that transvestites represent a higher aspect of development than we know---a beginning of a conscious integration within the individual, of the traits and qualities usually divided be-- individuals of differing sex.

I certainly wish you the very best in your undertaking, For transvestites to have an organization of their own 13 of greater value than is generally understood. There is a sense of belonging--not just to the transvestite group, but to the human race--when one realizes one is definitely NOT a- lone in this particular form of human expression. There is release from inner strains of a first magnitude There is genuine happiness in finding company of one's kind--and the American 'onstitution guarantees the "pursuit of hap- piness" along with life and liberty to the individual, Also there is the gathering of more genuine information than has het been brought together, concerning this phase of human behaviour In all these fields you are doing a real service, which probably will be appreciated better in the future than now.
