Excerpt from the author's introuction



The common expressions, " Let Nature have its way," " Don't interfere with Nature," " You cannot improve upon Nature's methods," and many similar fallacious statements, have done more to prevent the betterment of the race and individual than all the other errors handed down to us by our ignorant and superstitious for- bears. There are farmers to-day struggling with poverty and poor crops because they are too dull or listless to grasp the scientific methods of aiding and controlling " Nature's ways." There are decayed and dying fruit trees, gardens destroyed by weed encroachment, crops stunted or killed by worms and insects because " Nature " knows best how to do things.



Just so with man and woman. Certain brain cells, especially those controlling the reproductive instincts and forces, if left to Nature's ways, become choked with injurious weeds. That is, we have not learned to glean the thoughts, to understand the crowding undergrowth of biological instincts and prune so as to make room for the real stuff in man.



We see the great mass of humanity trying to struggle through life by " letting Nature have its way." Nature starts all things right, but permitted to go on unchecked or unguided, always tends toward the line of least resistance. Or, in other words, Nature is a great impartial all-mother and is as much interested in the growth of the weed as in the growth of the flower. This is true of man as it is of all living things. Unavoidable ancestral ignorance, generations of schooling in false prudery, impressions that man differs in sex development and activities from all other animals, have prevented a ready acceptance of the fact that man in nature uncontrolled, unguided, fills his brain with thought weeds, his higher psychic life with useless fears and distorts his mental vision of the sex structure of human society.



Allowing " Nature to have its own way ' ' in the growth and development of sex life in man and woman is to permit some of the many forms of sexual distortion or inversion to take root in early childhood.



These may range from simple indifference to fright; from over-accentuation to physiological disturbance. Eventually, these abnormal conditions become rank growths and drag down morale stability, crowd out clean and incisive thinking, make life a constant existence of mental torture and cause those myriad conditions of



physical and nervous unrest which are so evident today. And the great point is that their deep origin is generally unrecognized by the sufferers. For this reason, the opportunities, the knowledge, to understand and correct by aiding Nature as she demonstrates the basic laws of life, have been absent.
