It has been four years since Undoing Yourself was released and
approximately two years since the first edition was sold out. The
book was not reissued until now because I was in a moral dilemma
concerning the message contained in this work.
It is suggestive as well, that agents in both Israel and Germany
requested copies of this book for possible translation. However,
after further reading, both withdrew their requests. This also
contributed to my hesitance to re-publish the work.
Many dear friends and associates made suggestions as to what I
should do regarding the criticisms levelled at this book. I listened to
all that was said and waited until the right moment, which is now, to
answer both the attacks and the compliments.
The primary attack came from the intellectual community. This
of course is to be expected. Their attitude was one of abhorrence that
such a work could be published at all. Specifically, they felt that the
book was "disgusting" irrelevant and down right "stupid."
What they found disgusting, was the "irrelevant" pictures, the
The lower classes, like the pigs on the lowest tier, consume what is
discarded. Finally, in America the struggle is not really between the
lower classes and the upper classes, for they are too far apart. The
struggle here is between the middle classes and the lower classes.
From the male point of view, the biological reward for reproduction
is a pat on the back for having virile sperm and the identification
with his genetic offspring. Again the process is personalized beyond
the point of necessity simply to satisfy the pride of possession. Time
is spent in identifying those physical and character qualities of the
offspring which resemble those of the parents. Identifying common
genetic characteristics of the infant is done more for the reassurance
of the male, for he can never really know if the child is his
in fact. This provides an edge for the female in any future
negotiations with her husband. Possession is 9 tenths of the law.
Thus the offspring is viewed by both the parents and the courts as
belonging to the female. Judicial preference for child custody by the
mother is proof of the matter.
Will not any set of teats do for nurturing the child, just as will not
any sperm do for the fertilization of the egg? The answer is both yes
and no. Arguments can be had for either side of the issue. However,
in the long run it does not matter. What is of importance is the child,
for it assures the continuation of the race and a specific set of selfish
genes. Again, biological necessity cannot be blamed for how any
particular culture channelizes this force. What can be blamed is
elevating the relativism of culture over the absolutism of biology. Which
is really more sacred?
SOLUTIONS
The major premise in this paper is that biology is primary to
culture, and that the problems assumed to be caused by biology are a
seriously.
Lastly, we wish to thank all of the readers who wrote us telling us
what a great concept the original edition of this book was. We at
Falcon agree, and for some who have asked for an apology, may I
quote my dearest friend, now departed, Dr. Israel Regardie "NO!!!!
NO!!! NO!!!! A THOUSAND TIMES NO!!!!!"
