About Me

This MySpace Page is dedicated to the life and work of Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), the most amazing and most attacked psychologist and natural scientist 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 therapy, explorer of emotions as our individual expression of a basic cosmic biological energy that keeps us alive and gives structure to all nature and creation. For those who already have some knowledge and an idea of the dimension of Reich's scientific work, the page will be a platform for contact, discussion and exchange of ideas. Highly recommended to all of you is to take the time and watch the brilliant and informative video documentary on Wilhelm Reich that I posted below. 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. This profile, as you can see, is still in the making, and hopefully it will develop. These are first steps. Some basic articles will be added as well as interesting links to people and organisations that keep Reich's work up and will carry it forward through 21st century. A German language version of this page will follow. About myself and some of my ideas about Wilhelm Reich you can read the blogs. All in all, please feel free to make contact. Whoever wishes to contribute to this page and help to improve it, is highly welcome. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Everybody interested in the life and work of Wilhelm Reich, in psychology, body psychotherapy, new approaches to natural science, human sciences, in bio energy, sociology, mass psychology ... in the whole range of subjects that Reich dealed with and that are still relevant today. - Below, the video 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 wants to see how Reich gets the legendary lost "Orgone engine" running? Really worthwhile to take the time and watch the video, if you want to know more!

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.
