The iron law of Nature

The iron law of Nature compels the various species to keep within the definite limits of their own life-forms when propagating and multiplying their kind.

Each animal mates only with one of its own species.

Deviations from this law take place only in exceptional circumstances.

This happens especially under the compulsion of captivity, or when some other obstacle makes procreative intercourse impossible between individuals of the same species.

But then Nature abhors such intercourse with all her might.

Such a dispensation of Nature is quite logical.

Every crossing between two breeds which are not quite equal results in a product which holds an intermediate place between the levels of the two parents.

This means that the offspring will be superior to the parent which stands in the biologically lower order of being, but not so high as the higher parent. This is why it must eventually succumb in any struggle against the higher species.

Such mating contradicts the will of Nature towards the selective improvements of life in general.

This means that the stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature.

Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as cruel. He will feel so merely because he is of a feebler nature and narrower mind.

If the iron law did not direct the process of evolution, then the higher development of organic life would not be conceivable at all.

This urge for the maintenance of the unmixed breed is a natural phenomenon.

It results in:

• the sharply defined outward distinction between one species and another
• the internal similarity of qualities peculiar to each species.

The fox remains always a fox, the goose remains a goose..

The only difference within the species is in the various degrees of structural strength and active power, in the intelligence, efficiency, endurance, etc., of the individual specimens.

That is why the struggle between the various species arises from hunger and love, not from mutual antipathy.

In both cases, Nature looks on calmly and is even pleased with what happens.

The struggle for the daily livelihood leaves behind the weak, diseased, or wavering.

The fight of the male to possess the female gives to the strongest the right, or the possibility to propagate its kind.

This struggle furthers the health and resistance powers of the species.

Thus it is one of the causes underlying the process of development towards a higher quality of being.

If things were opposite, then retrogression might set in.

The inferior always outnumber the superior. The inferior would always increase more rapidly if they possessed the same capacities for survival and for the procreation of their kind.

This would force the best in quality to recede into the background.

Therefore, a corrective measure in favour of the better quality must intervene.

Nature supplies this by establishing rigorous conditions of life to which the weaker will have to submit and will thereby be numerically restricted. but even that portion which survives cannot indiscriminately multiply, for here a new and rigorous selection takes place, according to strength and health.

If Nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such a case all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile.

History furnishes us with innumerable instances that prove this law. It shows, with a startling clarity, that whenever Aryans have mingled their blood with that of an inferior race the result has been the downfall of the people who were the standard-bearers of a higher culture.

In North America, the population is prevalently Teutonic. Those elements intermingled with the inferior race only very little.

This leads to a quality of mankind and a civilization different from those of Central and South America.

In these latter countries, the Latin immigrants mated with the aborigines to a very large extent.

But in North America, the Teutonic element has kept its racial stock pure.

This allowed it to dominate the American Continent and will remain master of it as long as that element does not adulterate its blood.

In short, the results of miscegenation are always the following:

1. The level of the superior race becomes lowered
2. Physical and mental degeneration sets in, thus leading slowly but steadily towards a progressive drying up of the vital sap.

The act which brings about such a development is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator. And as a sin this act will be avenged.

Man’s effort to build up something that contradicts the iron logic of Nature brings him into conflict with those principles to which he himself exclusively owes his own existence. By acting against the laws of Nature he prepares the way that leads to his ruin.

The Jew-inspired pacifist will object: “Man can control even Nature.”

Yet their only weapon is just a mere preposterous idea. If one accepted it, then it would be impossible even for the world to exist.

Man has failed to overcome Nature in any sphere. He has merely succeeded in lifting a tiny corner of the enormous veil of her eternal mysteries and secret.

Man never creates anything. All he can do is to discover something.

He does not master Nature but has only come to be the master of those living beings who have not gained the knowledge he has arrived at by penetrating into some of Nature’s laws and mysteries.

Apart from all this, an idea can never subject to its own sway those conditions which are necessary for the existence and development of mankind; for the idea itself has come only from man. Without man there would be no human idea in this world.

The idea as such is therefore always dependent on the existence of man and consequently is dependent on those laws which furnish the conditions of his existence.

Certain ideas are even confined to certain people.

This holds true with regard to those ideas in particular which have not their roots in objective scientific truth but in the world of feeling. In other words, to use a phrase which is current to-day and which well and clearly expresses this truth: THEY REFLECT AN INNER EXPERIENCE.

All such ideas, which have nothing to do with cold logic as such but represent mere manifestations of feeling, such as ethical and moral conceptions, etc., are inextricably bound up with man’s existence. It is to the creative powers of man’s imagination that such ideas owe their existence.

War then Pacifism

A necessary condition for the maintenance of such ideas is the existence of certain races and certain types of men.

For example, anyone who wants the pacifist idea to prevail in this world should do all he can to help the Germans conquer the world.

If the reverse should happen, then the last pacifist would disappear with the last German.

Only the German people fell a prey to this idea.

Whether you like it or not, you would have to make up your mind to forget wars if you would achieve the pacifist ideal.

Nothing less than this was the plan of the American world-redeemer, Woodrow Wilson.

Anyhow that was what our visionaries believed, and they thought that through his plans their ideals would be attained.

The pacifist-humanitarian idea may become an excellent one after the most superior type of manhood succeeds in subjugating the world.

This idea could have an injurious effect only in the measure according to which its application would become difficult and finally impossible.

So fight first, then pacifism.

If pacifism came first then it means that mankind has already passed the zenith of its development. Then the end be the degeneration into barbarism and consequent chaos, not be the supremacy of some moral ideal.

People may laugh at this statement.

But our planet has been moving through the spaces of ether for millions and millions of years, uninhabited by men, and at some future date may easily begin to do so again–if men should forget that wherever they have reached a superior level of existence, it was not the result of following the ideas of crazy visionaries but by acknowledging and rigorously observing the iron laws of Nature.
