A more succinct way of putting this observation is here, made three years ago by Kevin Hinchey (on the the Reich Infant Trust <a href="http://www.wilhelmreichtrust.org/safeguarding_reichs_legacy-2010_03_13.html" target="_blank">site</a> ) which is sadly still accurate today:</p> <p id="indent">"<em>Distortions about Reich on the Internet are like the stars: countless and in plain sight for anyone to see. And yet every day people read and view Internet content about Reich with no idea of what is factual and what is not.</em>"</p> <p>What we want to do with this site is to offset the drift downward into a trivial understanding of Dr. Reich's work. It is not meant to be my opinion of his work, but to enable the reader to learn more about his work. So there is a lot required reading for this site. As such, the site will always try to be well sourced with links to original material and secondary information.</p> <b class="rbottom"><b class="r4"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r1"></b></b> </div> <br /> <div class="brackets"> <b class="rtop"><b class="r1"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r4"></b></b> <!--<h1>Support Orgone.org</h1>--> <br /> <p> <script type="text/javascript" src="//rf.revolvermaps.com/0/0/6.js?i=51dm821rapp&m=7&c=e63100&cr1=ffffff&f=arial&l=0&bv=90&lx=-420&ly=420&hi=20&he=7&hc=a8ddff&rs=80" async="async"></script> </p> <br /> <b class="rbottom"><b class="r4"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r1"></b></b> </div> <!-- end brackets --> <br /> </div><!-- end .leftsidebar --> <!-- *****************************************************--> <!-- ** Primary Content on Page **--> <!-- *****************************************************--> <div class="content"> <!-- *****************************************************--> <!-- ** Random Picture for This Page **--> <!-- *****************************************************--> <div id="pics"> <a href="#" id="randomImageLink"> <img id="randomImage" src="" alt="Random Image"> </a> <h3>Click the image above to see a different one.</h3> </div> <script> var PIC_TOTAL = 80; var imagePool = generateImagePool(PIC_TOTAL); var randomImageLink = document.getElementById('randomImageLink'); var randomImage = document.getElementById('randomImage'); // Set initial image on page load updateRandomImage(); // Add a click event listener to the image link randomImageLink.addEventListener('click', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); updateRandomImage(); }); function generateImagePool(picTotal) { var imagePaths = []; for (var i = 1; i <= picTotal; i++) { imagePaths.push('Images/pics/pic' + i + '.jpg'); } return imagePaths; } function updateRandomImage() { // Randomly select an image from the pool var randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * imagePool.length); var randomImageSrc = imagePool[randomIndex]; // Update the image source randomImage.src = randomImageSrc; } </script> <!-- <div id="pics"> <!-- <h1>International Conference on Orgonomy</h1> <p>4 to 6 October 2013.</p> --> <!-- /*****The below JS sets the random call up of the central image.

In <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0374509913/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0374509913&linkCode=as2&tag=orgoneorg-20"><em>Cosmic Superimposition</em></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=orgoneorg-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0374509913" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> Reich had written about the sense of harmony, peace and oneness that a person experiences in natural surroundings, and the contrast between this and the strife-ridden life-tone of "civilized" existence.</p> <p>At its deepest level, his whole life's work—from his earliest writings on the quality and characteristics of a full genital orgasm to his last formulations on weather control and desert formation—could be seen as a single, unified attempt to overcome this contrast, this difference; to bring human social existence into closer alignment with the harmonious, "oceanic" feeling of the scene I was observing, that he had observed daily and over which his bust on the mausoleum now brooded in a permanent, clear-eyed gaze.</p> <p>It occurred to me that somehow, in my effort to unravel and fit into some kind of coherent order the events, forces and issues of the ten-year process that had ended with his imprisonment, I had forgotten something crucial, lost touch with something basic in the ultimate meaning of Reich's life and work. That something now began to stir and quicken somewhere on the outskirts of my consciousness.</p> <p id="indent">...</p> <p>And realizing this, I realized at last the purpose of my pilgrimage. It was to try to re-experience that part of Reich I had lost touch with in dealing with him and his work as an objective body of knowledge to be coherently communicated. I had, in short, forgotten that in the deep subjective reaches of one's life Reich was primarily an experience of self perception, and as such, ultimately incommunicable. And now I had found it again—that part of Reich, that part of myself—and I slept as I had not slept for a year. </p> <p>Greenfield, Jerome.
