You dare not think that you ever might experience your self differently: free instead of cowed; open instead of tactical; loving openly instead of like a thief in the night.

FREEDOM. LOVE. HEALTH. KNOWLEDGE. HAPPINESS. Some basic WILHELM REICH Quotes:
___________________________________________
___________________________________________
Man's right to know, to learn, to inquire, to make bona fide errors, to investigate human emotions must, by all means, be safe, if the word FREEDOM should ever be more than an empty political slogan.
___________________________________________
You beg for happiness in life, but security is more important to you, even if it costs you your spine or your life. Your life will be good and secure when aliveness will mean more to you than security; love more than money; your freedom more than party line or public opinion; when your thinking will be in harmony with your feelings; when the teachers of your children will be better paid than the politicians; when you will have more respect for the love between man and woman than for a marriage license.
___________________________________________
See yourself as you really are. Listen to what none of your leaders and representatives dares tell you.
___________________________________________
You will no longer believe that you "don't count". You will know and advocate your knowledge that you are the bearer of human society. Don't be afraid. It is not so terrible to be the responsible bearer of human society. Inflated leaders would have no soldiers and no arms if you clearly knew, and stood up for your knowledge.
___________________________________________
The elimination of individual capitalists and the replacement of private capitalism by state capitalism in Russia has not in the least altered the typical helpless and authoritarian character structure of the masses of people.
___________________________________________
You dare not think that you ever might experience your self differently: free instead of cowed; open instead of tactical; loving openly instead of like a thief in the night.
___________________________________________
The character structure of modern man, who reproduces a six-thousand-year-old patriarchal authoritarian culture is typified by characterological armoring against his inner nature and against the social misery which surrounds him. This characterolgical armoring of the character is the basis of isolation, indigence, craving for authority, fear of responsibility, mystic longing, sexual misery, and neurotically impotent rebelliousness.
___________________________________________
If "freedom" means, first of all, the responsibility of every individual for the rational determination of his own personal, professional and social existence, then there is no greater fear than that of the establishment of general freedom. Without a thoroughgoing solution of this problem there never will be a peace lasting longer than one or two generations. To solve this problem on a social scale, it will take more thinking, more honesty and decency, more conscientiousness, more economic, social and educational changes in social mass living than all the efforts made in previous and future wars and post-war reconstruction programs taken together.
___________________________________________
Love, work and knowledge are the well-springs of our life. They should also govern it.
___________________________________________
Rooting in work is crucial to any accomplishment. Rooting in mere enthusiasm will in the long run force illusory measures to keep the fires of empty enthusiasm going. And this makes politics and politicians.
___________________________________________
Psychic disturbances are the consequences of the sexual chaos of society. For thousands of years, this chaos has had the function of psychically subjecting man to the prevailing conditions of existence, of internalizing the external mechanization of life. It has served to bring about the psychic anchoring of a mechanized and authoritarian civilization by making man incapable of functioning independently.
___________________________________________
An essential and basic characteristic of the emotional plague reaction is that action and the motive of the action never coincide. The real motive is concealed and a sham motive is given as the reason for the action.
___________________________________________
Psychic health depends on orgastic potency, i.e., upon the degree to which one can surrender to and experience the climax of excitation in the natural sexual act. It is founded upon the healthy character attitude of the individual's capacity for love. Psychic illnesses are the result of a disturbance of the natural capacity for love.
___________________________________________
The vital energies regulate themselves naturally without compulsive duty or compulsive morality — both of which are sure signs of existing antisocial impulses.
___________________________________________
If the psychic energies of the average mass of people watching a football game or a musical comedy could be diverted into the rational channels of a freedom movement, they would be invincible.
___________________________________________
My discovery of the Life Energy is today widely known nearly all over the globe, in hundreds of institutions, whether acclaimed or cursed. It can no longer be stopped by anyone, no matter what happens to me. (1954)

Music
"CLOUDBUSTING", the song written and performed by Kate Bush, tells about Wilhelm Reich's successful "Cloudbusting" experiments in the desert of Arizona and around his home in Orgonon, Maine, and about Reich's conflict with U.S. authorities because of his orgonomic research. Scientific work that brought him to prison. The song tells this story through the eyes of Reich's little son Peter who witnessed those "Men in black" who took his father with them and ordered to burn his writings and destroy his laboratory equipment. Here is the vide clip of the song from 1985, with Donald Sutherland as Wilhelm Reich and Kate Bush as Peter.

WILHELM REICH ist in deinem erweiterten Netzwerk. Posted at 6:21 AM Apr 10 view more
About me: This MySpace Page is dedicated to the work and life of Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), one of the most amazing and most attacked psychologists and natural scientists in 20th century. For those who have never heard about Reich, the page tries to supply some basic information on that remarkable rebel of psychoanalysis, prophet of fulfilling sexuality, founder of body psychotherapy, explorer of our emotions and of a basic cosmic biological energy he called Orgone. For those who know about the dimension of Reich's scientific work, the page tries to be a platform for contact, discussion and exchange of ideas. Highly recommended to all of you is to watch the brilliant and informative video documentary on Wilhelm Reich that I posted right below on the right side, "Man's Right to know". - So let's get this thing started. Everybody is invited to make his own contributions, to send messages, add Wilhelm Reich to his friends, post comments, send texts or whatever interesting material for the blog. All in all, please feel free to make contact. Whoever wishes to contribute to this page and help to improve it, is highly welcome.
Who I'd like to meet: Everybody interested in the life and work of Wilhelm Reich, in psychology, body psychotherapy, bio energy, in new approaches to natural science, environmental sciences and cosmology, in human sciences, sociology, mass psychology ... in the whole range of subjects that Reich dealed with and that are still relevant today. - Below, the video "Man's Right to know" is a very good introduction: a 30 minutes documentary giving quite an idea of Reich's biography and his discoveries, and showing some rare and really surprising photo and film documents. Anybody who hasn't seen Wilhelm Reich getting the legendary lost "Orgone engine" running? Really worthwhile to take the time and watch the video.
