Orgone

We stand on the shoulders of giants, and I owe all to Dr. Reich and Dr. Rinn; thank you again for your teachings
The time travel we need to go on is a Pandora's ride to knowing oneself.

Energetically muscles contract forming a persona that others see
as charming or threatening. The character becomes invisible to the wearer and holds in different parts of the movement of the Orgone.  Depending on the expression the energy will be still to panicky It all started when in defense of your integrity you compressed that whole 3 D consciousness of yourself; than you forgot you even had energy and thought only of your existence as it related to your thoughts. Not knowing, not feeling, not being able to share who you are makes life unsatisfying and our search to find meaning alludes us.

Ones character and why it is formed is invisible to oneself. Born a sweet innocent, the character is formed as a defense to get you through
a child's tough times. The character holds the energy in place. The character does not want to change.The character has served a function of protecting you. The character is the thread you sewed to stop awareness. Why is losing control with booze, drugs, food, sex inappropriately so prevalent in our world?

Losing control unlocks ones character and unlocks the Orgone(energy) to allow the energy to finally flow; often producing addictive pleasure. Addictions can't get enough of losing control. Finally feeling a release from holding all the awareness still, one seeks that release in addiction again. Addiction is releasing some Orgone is life saving. Caught in a matrix of anorgonia (Dr. Reich's name for the collapsed Orgone) the stillness stops Orgone aliveness: addiction becomes a necessary evil and difficult to stop. 

 Dr. Reich warned that the process of releasing the control on what he called our economy, Orgone movement, is a very difficult journey. It is a complex journey that disturbs our hard fought forgotten instincts that helped us survive our childhood but does not work as an adult looking for a satisfied life. How to access ones initial sweet self by expressing distorted feelings in a safe setting is the complex job of therapy. Learning new ways to find satisfaction through Love, Work, and Knowledge is the core teachings of Dr. Reich.

Forget Words

O.C.D.. Obsession compulsion disorder. I hear a lot of gab lately about this or that friend who showing signs of O.C.D.. O.C.D. has become so popular that one can say O.C.D. and people know what you mean. For most of us O.C.D. is a compulsion to wash your hands continuously. The person has become fixated and concerned about germs. It is easy
to understand why; just visit any hospitable and one will see Purell anti bacterial lotion in every corner; even to the extant hundreds of mats on the floor with the word Purell on it. In every pocketbook
there is a bottle. I do think this is an example of profit combining with obsession.
The panic is palpable. O.C.D. is everywhere. Of course bacteria is a concern but obviously Purell
has not stopped the spread of disease.

I had a great thought. Two minutes later I can not remember that thought. I'm sure if I can remember that thought I would be OK. Thoughts, words are a dead end street.

Words are useless for changing behavior. Unless those words have emotion behind them. There only good if those words tell you to forget words. You will forget the words when you are struggling with behavior. It's addictive behavior that is our mystery.

The energy moves invisibly
in your body and gives you a feeling. Or perhaps it's the drink that releases some locked up feeling or you slam the door. The energy is moving  and you feel a little better

Most of us become good at denying that we have problems. Are we not the same as everyone else: struggling to make a living to find our way. Yet in this denial we pick up addictions to give us a little relief. A relief from controlling the misery that locks our muscles and awareness into frozen breathing and concrete armor. No feelings, no doubt, no satisfaction.

Where does abuse and addiction begin.
If your lucky these days not to be born with a Cesarean section Now aren't scheduled births convenient. The child becomes the toy for the mother or more accurately an addiction to fulfill mother. Vulnerable, totally dependent, unbelievably sensitive, the baby is assaulted with
the typical birth abuses. Confused the baby goes into shock. But yet if the mother is warm and
loving and if the mother's breasts are excited with milk perhaps there is hope.

The babies energy could make a rush to the surface and 
pleasure can make confusion clear: feeling right and safe the baby doesn't need answers. The problem lies with the mother.

Everything can go wrong but if the mother can give herself to the baby there is hope.
In other words the mother must love being sucked by the baby or the baby withdraws.

The baby has taken some control of his life at a tremendous cost. Control feels like you can survive and often during your life control is the difference between life and death.  Control is a necessary skill that all of us need to wear like a coat . A coat that is up to us to put on or take off. The problem with control is when control starts at an early age and gets reinforced by further trauma than control becomes chronic and becomes a character formation. That early trauma template that tied up ones whole being; curved your body so as you don't have to feel the physical pain; the monsters who tortured you for their release can be forgotten by control and then the fantasy that all is well appears. Control that is chronic stimulates a need for addictive release because it is not removable by the individual except by outside addictive lifestyle. When that addictive lifestyle balloon you to obesity, that drug almost kills you, that cigarette causes cancer you will wish you sought an Orgone Therapist. Stop the addiction and seek help.

The movement of energy as feelings is a paradigm that is intrinsic to satisfaction, well being, and health. The movement of Orgone, energy  and its release should direct our life; Orgone movement is who we are. 

The Problem of Pleasure

The movement of Orgone within my body is often invisible. Yet that movement drives every one's life. Once I began feeling that movement I realized consciously or unconsciously, I sought out ways to feel the pleasure,or feared the pleasure of the Orgones(Energy) movement.

Early in my childhood I protected myself like a possum: that is forgetting myself by being in a fantasy of thought, and not feeling the movement of energy to the surface. Taking that detour of thought leads to a detour that leads to addiction. Because one way or another I had to feel pleasure and pleasure does not come without the body. 

Experiencing pleasure without control: a spontaneous baby has simple instinct; feeling pleasure or closing down or crying The fear of expression causes armor. Embedded in our past is the horrifying trauma of rejection

.
Every time I feel pleasure, the movement
of Orgone to the surface of my body, remind me of trying to control that feeling like I did as a child. Control is the pressure cooker: we're Jack in the Boxes waiting to pop. When adults take away a child's normal being which is instinctual contact resulting in pleasure than the organism goes into shock, than more shock resulting in a deceptive child:
seeking to hide from their own self, the child also hides from the world. Addictions circumvents the memory: Addictions are short lived fixes that give temporary pleasure.

Reaching out from myself to you is pleasurable. My writing is entertainment. Entertainment will remind you of pleasure. The reminder will illicit dim memories of our initial denial of pleasure and that primal rejection is infuriating. Please be warned that analysis without affect(Emotion) can illicit further denial. Only therapy not words on paper can reduce or eliminate addictions.

Emotional Plague

The emotional plague a name given to the sickness that inhabits the people of our world. Basically because our emotions
are either non existent or so twisted and unconscious. We go about in a protective fog. While we torture ourselves and our loved ones by misdirecting our anger to find some relief from the pain of too much energy and not enough lovely release.

Know does not come from a book. Knowledge comes from knowing yourself. And here's the rub: lost in the ignorance and the Plague how do you know yourself?  You need a great therapist.
Also just about as hard, you also must want therapy: easier than it sounds. Evolution is God manifested slow agony. Why so damn slow?

Enlightenment that is sudden turns you into a raving lunatic. Realization of how
much Plague is in you can cause tremendous self loathing; if self awareness comes without self compassion. The battle to be brave and know oneself is a fight a coward has to win.

Release

We are born  a miracle, yet denial of every kind obfuscates the wonder of life.

Life demands
examination. Dr. Reich illuminated our search for understanding. His penetrating analysis was so powerful that still to this day his work is like looking into the sun. His work points out the simple profound truths of our existence. Humans generate energy. When suppression of anger, sadness, and fear were suppressed the flow of Orgone as feelings was stilled. Suppressing leads to addictions and expressing leads to satisfaction. So what's the problem? 


Why do most people suppress. Why do adults abuse children into suppression?
Is it that competition for survival demands success through abuse? Not really. Seeing children expressing Orgone reminds adults what they are missing. Feeling alive stimulates  past trauma. Abuse like a virus that spread through fear. Fear from violence from adults. Adults do not want to be reminded of what feelings their missing. 

Feeling Orgone movement is frightening when its it happens for the first time. Knowledgeable Orgone has been hidden from the cultures and its bodily awareness can be shocking. The explanation can be interesting but

satisfaction does not lie in intellectual pursuits. Expressing yourself through intimate contact needs to be achieved to satisfy the energetic release needed by our
organism.

The restrictions of armor's complete release is not easy to achieve. Energy builds in the body. Excess energy needs release through bodily orgasm Having armor causes a stifling of healthy release causes problems, usually anxiety. Seeking a return to control people try different methods to overturn  odd feeling. How to return to being a regular person when you were not given the tools or the map to find satisfaction through complete sexual orgasm..

Releasing Orgone through intercourse, mutual complete orgasm, between a man and a women balances your perception of yourself and the world. Welcome to feeling whole.

The Innocent

First off you've got to experience your situation and not like it. Second don't do
anything silly or drastic. Change takes time and it comes in small increments.
Patience. If ones surroundings does not confirm the trust and does not validate that one is supported as a vulnerable baby than the baby will close down automatically. When whoever disturbed or abused the innocence, than the initial deadening of the mind begins, with the dulling of the eyes, and the freezing of the breath: the feelings are blocked. Should have been a common experience of pulsating life becomes a dreaded forgotten memory.

Now the witness who is you, is trying to monitor your forgotten violent reactions to this forgotten abuse. Feel weird don't know why? Do you get panicky and need, choose your favorite addictions, and escape from the blocked past feelings.

The adult is continually trying to remember and yet is bound up in trying to control the outrage. That is the feeling of being in a pressure cooker. Need release because no one taught you how to find satisfaction than turn to your favorite addictions. The adult appears as the complaining child soon to find their special addiction. Innocence condemned has a violent response. Innocence crippled is violence, rage, and abuse at the back door. Addictive substances can be food, drugs, sex, work(power), gambling anything that moves energy and allows you to feel a little alive. Sorry not satisfied. That is the rub.

Addictions remind one that you are alive. What a double edge sword. No wonder addictions are hard to break. Who wants to be an adult and feel nothing. To not know even what a feeling is.
Feelings are actual movements of energy in the body. No one even had a inkling of that
idea till Dr. Reich. Dr. Reich found ways of of teaching people how to feel feelings,
and so much more.

Orgone Therapy taught me to be a human being. Nothing that my family knew.
Got cigarettes got food go to school. Any body ask you how your feeling are?  Orgone Therapy inch by inch teaches  how a human being expresses themselves.
Lost in denial human beings fear to know how little they know. So isn't it understandable that everyone turns to some form of addiction to stimulate a reminder that life is enjoyable IE the energy of the organism moves to the surface and you feel feel not
only hope but right. Life is good when you feel. That is called moving forward by the great dog psychologist Cesar Milan.

Addictions will remain no matter
how many self help books you read or how many therapists you tell your problems, or how many groups you join. Addictions serve a purpose: addictions block the experience of dysfunction and at the same time provide escape and pleasure from
your dilemma of why am I weird, unhappy, dissatisfied. It's time to look into Orgone Therapy. Orgone Therapy will help you realize having balanced sexual relation addictions will no longer be a problem

Once you feel the orgone moving in you than one needs to recognize that the person witnessing that movement is blocking usually out of fear, the complete merging with that feeling. There is
no witness when feeling is 100%.  Trust
is totally letting go. In a world of disappointment that is no mean feat.

Drug Dependecy

Which is it? The worst addiction is? Tune in next week for the
answer. Oh OK the worst addiction is the one
you are suffering from. Mine in general was food.
Everyday I have to eat and I am tempted to escape myself by overeating. Thank God
for my pants cause it is a constant reminder. My pathway to
bliss is only temporary with food. Every addiction was an escape from
realizing that you do not know how to function.

What do all addictions have in common?
Yes they are bad for your health. But no that is not the
answer I am looking for. Addictions are substances that reside outside of yourself and give you the illusion that you can control your feelings.
Want peace of mind and escape; take a downer. Want energy take speed. How
about taking a prescription. Same story. Ignorance and lack
of who we are as human beings leads us to drugs and other easy escapes.
Not so easy in the long run or short run for some. What we are taught by our
parents is limited; Homo normalis knows nothing about moving from moment to moment by
our feelings. The result is off to school to get an occupation: success the false hope. No clues to finding satisfaction We turn to
what is available. One easy choice is drugs and its a bad choice. 

Make a strong effort to practice

good habits that help overcome  addictions.You have to practice new behavior till they become spontaneous.

Human Beings move energy by breathing.

But not restricted, shallow breathing. Breathing needs to be relearned. Shallow breathing seems

normal until one breathes fully. Becoming whole through Ogone Therapy and deep breathing heals addictions.

Why Is Posture So Important?

In every martial arts the emphasis on posture and alignment is supreme.
Simply when the body is in alignment, ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips,
knees over toes then energy and alertness are in balance, and breathing is easier.
Having struggled with my posture my restrictions are symbols where armor is located and need continuous awareness to unlock.

Now when you are abused, neglected, overlooked, left out one's energy becomes reduced and it is reflected in one's posture. As a result  the challenge is becoming aware of posture and contractions which are misalignment. Have a massage therapist or a friend describe your posture. Take a look in the mirror and see how you stand. Become
self conscious of your breathing. Opening breathing will help balance an upright posture. The lungs fully opening will help the body stand upright.The process can be long because the trauma is rooted in birth and childhood. Abuse of any type will cause emotional rejection which becomes a physical reality as
armor. 

 
Though the journey to pulsating life is difficult, the alternative is dangerous and
life damaging. Addictions are an escape from being aware of past abuse reflected in your posture. Knowing your journey is mapped in your alignment, 
your posture, your streaming Orgone gives us a reference point to chart our goals. 

Waking Up

Words are easy to forget. The conscious experiencing of the energy is the here and now. I am writing to remember.
I left off writing and I forget exactly why. The words would nail down the moment
but then I would forget anyway. I remember words one way
or another when the words are tied to energy. No easy feat coming from one very abused neglected childhood. My personal history might be interesting over a beer. I have been taking lots of notes and catching up on my reading. I have been working and etc. So God knows when I'll
write again. Maybe never. 

So first off besides getting yourself into therapy and that is first
off the most important factor, check out Character Analysis Third Edition, and my favorite
post therapy handbook,  Emotional First Aid by Sean Haldane. Bravo Mr. Haldane one
awesome book.

OK where were we with energy movement and addiction. Bottom line addictions are a substitute
for the satisfying movement of energy in the body and its release. Addictions give a small release.
Then disappointment, or just confusion if you are panicky. Next step
for the addictive is more addictive behavior. Ugh!

OK what to do. Initially get some therapy check out Orgone.org. web page for a therapist.
Now if you cannot get a therapist try substituting a good addiction for your harmful one.
Like exercise, writing, or group meetings will raise the energy. If the energy raises that is a healthy way to substitute health for addiction.


But basically this is a blog for people who are in therapy or have been in therapy.
Because as Dr. Reich said "seeking to do your own therapy is like trying to pull yourself out of
quicksand by your own hair".

Satisfaction. What is satisfaction? What is happiness? How do these feelings relate
to addiction? The first addiction I will try to illuminate is overeating.
Being that we all have experience with food and that we have to eat everyday.
Eating is a great substitute for love; that is not getting any or enough love.
Since survival depends on eating, overeating can be very difficult to
understand and self regulate. How does addictive eating substitute for love?


Here is the simple way overeating works.
Particularly sweets, and salt will actually move the physical energy in the body.
This temporary feeling needs to be repeated continuously to achieve a substituted
feeling of satisfaction. Compared to full orgasm addictive eating is like a small stream never reaching the ocean of joy. Rely on overeating to achieve pleasure an you will form a habit, and then an addiction.
You can't leave the table to you finish everything. Eat one for Mommy. On and On
parents, well meaning begin addictions.

Love by touch or familiarity especially in childhood is survival communication that moves the individuals energy out to the circumference of the body providing pleasure and confidence. Depending on how abusive your childhood was you will seek addictions to substitute for the movement of energy, the comfort of love.

Orgasm is the result of energy build up and the release of that buildup
is joy or happiness. The energy is experienced physically as waves
of energy. Most of us have never felt the energy. We have armored up to block abuse, and
have no orgasmic reference point. No feelings to know how to find true satisfaction.

The lack of satisfaction produces a misdirected anger, and tremendous denial. Redirected anger
is directed towards inappropriate behavior; anything from meanness to violence or self abusive addiction. Your type of energy release will be directed by the type
of childhood you experienced.
Words can only be a map of encouragement and direction.
Embrace your feelings and begin slowly to find healthy addictions.

The Addictive Problem

The more I circle around the bases about addiction the more I remember that Dr. Reich said it would take two to three hundred years while working with orgonometrically trained professionals to unlock full functioning adults to make a impact in the population. Individually Dr. Reich and his colleagues helped many people.

I am miserable when I continually realize how moving forward is so isolating from my fellow humans. The miserable blessing of addiction is that it allows one to forget isolation and awareness. If you want to die with a little bit of pleasure addiction is one of the better ways to go.

To be aware is Nirvana.
Tiny steps brings the intuitive knowledge that
consciousness even in small steps is way more interesting and satisfying than addiction. Addiction is a treadmill that one must step off of and replace the addiction with life affirming actions.

1. Admit you need help. The biggest hurdle is recognizing how lost you are.

2. Practice what your teacher has taught you.

Breathing is where you begin.
Deceptively innocuous breathing is the doorway to your whole self.
Humans love feeling pleasure. Pleasure is the energy expanding to the surface of your body and breathing moves the energy. Problem  our culture supports no understanding of energetic pleasure and instead sublimation and survival vie for ones habitual attention.

If your energy doesn't expand by breathing than you will find other addictive substitutes
to expand your energy. These addictive's reside outside your body and are not
integral. When you are breathing and experience yourself, life is simple and often pleasurable. Addiction causes unhealthy loss of control because the pleasure is never totally satisfying and the addictive always seeks to be satisfied.

Breathing moves the flow of Orgone, or energy which stimulates emotions.
Knowledge of who we are is the ideas that forms after the repetition of emotions. Now we
are beginning to understand how humans function. Humans seek knowledge of who we are, and the understanding of what we need for happiness..

The journey to satisfaction, pleasure and happiness is complex because humans
bury their feelings to survive our complex world. Dr. Reich recognized the trap of our civilization and taught his patients how to feel. Orgone.
