The Law is for All

128 The Law is for All 51. Purple beyond purple: it is the light higher than eyesight. Commentary: There is a certain suggestion in this “purple” as connected with “eyesight”, which should reveal a certain iden­ tity of Hadit with the Dwarf-Soul to those who possess— eyesight! 52. There is a veil: that veil is black. It is the veil of the modest woman; it is the veil of sorrow, & the pall of death: this is none of me. Tear down that lying spectre of the centuries: veil not your vices in virtuous words: these vices are my service; ye do well, & I will reward you here and hereafter. Commentary: Mohammed struck at the root of the insane superstition of tabu with his word: “Women are your field; go in unto them as ye will.”1 He only struck half the blow. I say: go in unto them as ye will and they will. Two-thirds of modern mis­ ery springs from Woman’s sexual dissatisfaction. A dissatisfied woman is a curse to herself and to everybody in her neighbour­ hood. Women must learn to let themselves enjoy without fear or shame, and both men and women must be trained in the tech­ nique of sex. Sex-repression leads to neurosis, and is the cause of social unrest. Ignorance of sexual technique leads to disappoint­ ment, even where passion is free and unrestrained. Sex is not everything in life, any more than food is; but until people have got satisfaction of these natural hungers, it is useless to expect them to think of other things. This truth is vital to the statesman, now that women have some direct political power; they will certainly overthrow the Republic unless they obtain full sexual satisfaction. Also, women outnumber men; and one man cannot satisfy a woman unless he be skilful and diligent. The New /Eon will have a foundation of Happy Women. A Woman under tabu is loath­ some to Life, detested by her fellows, and wretched in herself. [Qu’ran 2:223.] The student should study, in Liber Aleph and Liber 418, the connection between “modesty” and the attitude of the “Black Brothers.” 1
