   There's this book which W.B. Yeats said was related to him by his wife   
   in a transe, called "A Vision", in which the medium in contact with his   
   wife asserted that the universe oscillates from nothing to something   
   through a process of reciprocating cones, I wish I could remember their   
   names and concepts, "Body of Fate" being one.   
      
   One thing I recall concerning the book.  Sex was nowhere mentioned :)
