The Law is for All
It is better for a person of heterosexual nature to suffer every 
possible calamity as the indirect environment-evoked result of his 
doing his true will in that respect than to enjoy health, wealth and

accustomed from infancy to witness every type of sexual act, as 
also the process of birth, lest falsehood fog, and mystery stupefy, 
their minds, whose error else might thwart and misdirect the 
growth of their subconscious system of soul-symbolism.
“when, where, and with whom ye will!”
The phrase “with whom” has been practically covered by the 
comment on “as ye will”. One need no more than distinguish that 
the earlier phrase permits all manner of acts, the latter all possible 
partners. There would have been no Furies for (Edipus, no disas­
