§ 88

No human male, however, can completely man more than one woman, any more than one gonad can unite with more than one other germ cell. Complete fusion of two cells requires the entirety of one cell uniting with the entirety of another. This is the type of physical and psychical immortality. The union of two single cells contains the potentiality of development of all the qualities inherent in both, but in new combinations.

In the psychosomatic union of two individuals there is the same possibility of infinite variety in the physical and mental reactions, only if the union between them is, like the fusion of the two single cells, a complete total and exclusive union each with the other.

The fact that of the thousands of egg cells produced by one woman no two can fuse with each other, and that of the billions of spermatozoa produced by one man no two can fuse together, but that any one male germ cell can completely fuse with any one female germ cell is the prototype of a perfect full marriage, and is the suggestion that probably no couples need be unhappy; for happiness is a matter of fusion, and fusion can be accomplished by the removal of ignorance due to tradition.
