Sweet

I remember mother by her favorite expression, Let's get Coffee an, she meant desert. And we went and I loved dessert. I loved sweets. I could eat a lot because I was an athlete and was active every hour. Then after being in Orgone Therapy I realized I used food; food was my panacea. it was my friend. No sweetness from my mother. The closeness that I needed was hooked up with missing the love I now sought through food addiction. 

My second wife was a French cook and she was terrific. So I ballooned 238 and my thighs would touch when I walked. I began feeling odd. Finally my wife left. I had an affair with a breast feeding woman who was generous with her milk. I found  that breast milk was sweet. I am sure I didn't get that. 

Your lips, have more than a million nerve endings, making them one of the most sensitive parts of your body. Armored lips is pleasure blocked and will not allow Orgone's streaming or a cascade of pleasure, or affection, or nourishment that directs life through the bodies knowledge of releasing, expanding Orgone. 

The following review by Mr. Mutimer is worth reading. There are many salient points. A couple of areas I disagree with is finding Dr. Baker a clearer read that Dr. Reich's. This could not be further from the truth. I found D. Baker's book Man In The Trap a major step backwards in using old psychological terms. Dr. Reich left those terms behind as Orgone Therapy had a new revolutionary understanding of Therapy, and new definitions. 

5The taste and flavour of medical orgonomy

ByA. Mutimer "amutimer"on July 13, 2007

Format: Paperback

This review assumes a basic understanding of the ideas of Wilhelm Reich.

The book Emotional Armoring Hershkowitz

______________________

The book is a description of medical orgonomy in practice. It is orderly, concise and evocative. But potential readers need to understand something before they shell out.

"A chapter on reducing armoring should be introduced with a warning that the techniques describes are intended neither as a do-it-yourself, self improvement program, nor as procedures with psychotherapists untrained in orgonomy should experiment" - Emotional Armoring: An Introduction to Psychiatric Orgone Therapy, p.67 (Chapter 5)

Given that dissolution of emotional armour is the goal of medical orgonomy the above statement narrows dramatically the *practical* value of the book. The intended readership for this, the most important chapter, is the small number of suitably qualified psychotherapists who have trained, or who are training, in medical orgonomy. This is an absolutely *minute* fraction of the world community and a very small fraction of the people who will read this book.

The reason for this restriction by the author is that, whilst the therapy is logical and can be understood by anyone who applies themselves, it is dangerous. Emotional armour serves a very important function which is that of containing the huge anger held by nearly everyone caused by having their natural functioning thwarted by naive parents acting as the unwitting agents of an essentially sick society. Any uncontrolled dissolution of the armour can cause such massive release of this anger that the subject can very easily become a serious danger both to himself and to others. At a lower level the subject's relationships and livelihood will almost certainly be at risk. So what we have to face early on in appraising this book is that its core content, which is practical, is not available as such to the vast majority of people who will read the book. If we add to this that there are VERY few trained orgonomists in the world - I suggest just a few hundred - to whom a person could submit themselves for this kind of therapy the book is a recipe for frustration.

So how might the non-professional benefit from reading the book?

Well the great problem with Reich was that he was at great pains at each stage in his work to justify himself. This is all perfectly understandable, and indeed, was essential, at the time, but if you are looking for a concise description of medical orgonomy the writing of it's creator is not the place to go. Far better to read the work of other people who understand it - better yet people who understand it and who have actually done it. In this regard the present book may be the very best there is. In fact, having looked around, I know of only two such books, the one here and "Man in the Trap" by Elsworth Baker which I also strongly recommend despite the fact that it suffers from exactly the same restrictions. Actually the two books are highly comparable; they are both written by practicing orgonomists who have the same somewhat forthright style borne of the effects of the therapy itself; both have sections that follow the head-to-pelvis sequence that is an absolute condition of Reichian bodywork; and they both give plenty of examples of how to tackle each segment and what can happen as a result. In this sense they convey very well the *taste and flavour* of medical orgonomy. It is hands-on, it is robust, it is serious, it is a deep human process that takes the therapist and the patient to very frightening and painful territory that will typically include periods of huge anger and deep sadness and the physical manifestations thereof; hitting, kicking, shouting and heartfelt sobbing on the part of the patient being absolutely the norm.

Ok so, assuming you are not one the few hundred qualified people I speak about above you will catch the *flavour* of orgonomy from this book and you may well sense that there is something very important about it for you personally- but there, I suggest, it will stop. Unless you are very lucky indeed and live close to a practitioner, not to mention rich enough to pay him, you will not be able to take the matter forward. All that will result is an essentially intellectual journey which, appraised in the very terms that are valuable to orogonomists themselves, is useless.

As I say at the start of this review that I assume that you have an understanding of the ideas of Wilhelm Reich. If you have then you will realize that the therapy described in this book derives from a strict application of his theoretical position. However there are many who claim the name of Reich in their practice using "Reichian" or, more honestly "neo-Reichian", but whose practice merely uses a few ideas taken from Reich's work. Herskowitz is very aware of this and takes the time, more than once, to point out the failings of such deviations from what Reich actually said, essentially those of ineffectiveness and of danger. Casual buyers of such services beware! In fact, if the book here serves to warn effectively in this area then it serves another, albeit somewhat negative purpose for the non-professional.

So, having pointed out the great limitations of the book, limitations that, I hasten to point out, arise not from any fault of the author but from the nature of the therapy and the scarcity of therapeutic resources, what is my conclusion for the journeyman into the realms of orgonomy? My conclusion is that this book is very important because it is descriptive of what I believe to be the most important therapy in existence, and because, in the few cases where it is applied properly, the transformation is one of the very few that can take a person forward, truly. Take them forward to where? To natural integrated functioning, which is a big step to so much more.

In closing I leave you with a recommendation that will appear to be completely at odds with the thrust of the book here, "No Boundary" by Ken Wilber. In this book we can catch a glimpse of the big picture into which orgonomy falls, in my humble opinion.

Prime Directive Hidden Within

No one wants to experience past abuse, or what you became as a result, or experience the murderous anger at your revolt. Armor forms to block the abusive experience; to block their mean, nasty self from appearing. And worse is understanding one's rage has been smothered. Now Orgone streaming is fearful yet one's reaction needs to be murderous to access the deep BioCore but their abuse froze you. Expressing one's horrific expression at their abuse would isolate you and as a baby that is death.

Persistence is needed in opening one's breathing and and using one voice to remind oneself what is emotion.. Becoming aware of  Orgone that has surfaced reminds one that you have been in denial and have disassociated. Finally emotions could be felt and stream, and brought understanding to ones character. Though old armor's pathway remains, now emotions brings knowledge, understanding. Slowly the armor of past abuse becomes less of a problem, and motivates change. 

Dreams, hallucination, and addictions can be exciting and feel real. Feeling Orgone and becoming aware of Orgone movement, one becomes sensitive to practical reality, animals and nature. Life, all has movement. The accumulation of Orgone leads to it's release. Addiction, anxiety, obsessive behavior wants Orgone knowing. 

Like the universe Orgone is moving outward. Orgone seeks connections to fulfill its growing potential. Orgone release with the opposite sex puts one in touch with the Orgasm reflex which leads to a deep understanding of Orgone and how feeling the flow is enlightenment. 

Dr. Reich's poem on the front page of Contact With Space describes this movement.

Thoughts Of Import (1953)

Thoughts of import

Are built like cathedrals

Reaching high into the sky

As if to fly.

Onward they urge

From the depth of the brine

Pregnant with surge

Of ever greater design.

Let's burst open the sky

Let's reach for the stars

Let's ring out the cry

Transcending all the bars.

The prime directive is written in every cell. Humans have covered up this  moving experience with armor. Like trees that reach continuously upward, humans Orgone is meant to reach out, to rise.  Becoming fully conscious of Orgone's streaming outward is the work. Convulsing orgasmic, superimposition unleashes Orgone and it's beaming knowledge, ecstasy with no restrictions.

Orgasm flow between men and women releases a floating, a beatific coconsciousness. When Orgone rises, and the deep connection, sexual intercourse, releases all bars then spontaneous superimposition solves life's riddles. We are stars radiating pure pleasure. 

the well of vision

The origin of consciousness developed when the suns rays warmed, activated the brain and opened an eye evolution; mutations that woke self awareness. The suns light became a sign to explore, movement became easier. An understanding of the outside environment stimulated consciousness and enhanced survival.

Eyes are tools accessing environment, projecting Orgone. Being fully visual means you experience oneself as a plasma being: vulnerable, streaming Orgone. The eye, sees outside and also scans the bodies posture and movements.The eyes are the bucket into the well and the brain is Orgone, visioning images. Remembering by picturing those who abused you helps a fuller vision of consciousness. Full consciousness has no thoughts. One with the streaming body provides a deeper knowledge of what it is to be alive.Vision becomes an instinctive avenue to be in harmony with spontaneous action. 1.

Vision is the portal of consciousness that automatically moves Orgone to the surface of the body, if you have freed contraction. Orgone consciousness is evaluating waves that are emanating through other eyes. If the waves are visible, meanings happen. If the muscles have formed a tight armor the normal apparatus of expansion, or the feeling of Orgone rising to the surface, through the eyes will be reduced or non existent. When streaming is absent connection is philosophy and values, being needed will be frustrated. Blocking reality happens by armor and unconscious fantasy reduces the importance of vision.The problem of not experiencing these sensations of releasing Orgone and feeling pleasure is what is absent in our culture.The mind is the reservoir of memory and the interpreter of Orgone. The  eye opens a channel into the brain and consciousness examines Love, Work, and Knowledge. How to unlock the armor, the musculature and experience the Orgone is the work of therapy. 

When the armor locks the Orgone than the eyes will be flat. When the muscles are soft, Orgone flowing, then the eyes take on depth, reflect feeling, Orgone.

The eyes are the portals accessing Orgone beings. Other people's flat eyes reminds us that humans evolution is ongoing. Orgone connecting between people is hardly existent. To complete humans journey eyes must allow Orgone to flow out of the eyes; the connections become exciting. Ultimate pleasure is total connection, sexual intercourse.

Orgone breathing will bring back a shine to one's eyes. Returning flat eyes reminds that there is still work to be done. Breathing in is a partnership between a reflex inhale and a exhale. Inhaling feeling the expanding the lungs. The exhale is to the bottom, a streaming of orgone is experienced which takes practice till its spontaneous.There is full circle rhythm without a stop. Often the mouth is open as it is the fullest avenue to the lungs and allows sound to accompany the breath.

 Addiction is a bright detour, a substitute for deep genital connection, that leads nowhere. Addiction is easy but a lousy view. Becoming aware of humans Orgone wonders is an ongoing evolution. Being Orgone is Cosmic.

Lay Down and Breathe

Often one hears let go of your holding. It's an important direction. Letting go is the opposite of tight pulled in knotted muscles. Sinking down; relaxing is letting go. Though it sounds easy it's not. Ones character was formed to function in an abused society; one's character spontaneously appears to hide the abusive memories. To compound the difficulty one's character is invisible to oneself. Orgone will react unconsciously against abuse and unknowingly becomes how one approaches the world. Impossible to relax when one is unconscious of how ones character was formed and its function.

Blocking abuse by not responding is accomplished by Orgone contraction, particularly in the fascia and the muscles: finally awareness becomes conscious with expressive breathing and emoting, and honesty. Breathing is particularly nasty. Breathing is repressed, unconscious for good reasons: it dulls the abusive experience. Feeling nothing became one's invisible paradigm. 

Finally feeling alive is letting go of denying, and having the courage, and situation to tell the truth. You cannot experience streaming when contracted, stiff, frozen. Relaxing the muscles, letting go of the past contractions, of past abuse, showers the consciousness with Orgone. Now that sounds easy but it was functioning to keep one's Orgone from panicking, from realizing, experiencing, the horrendous abuse of neglect. Orgone movement initially is disturbing. Shocking being alive. These new experiences alerts the consciousness of an earlier way of relating and though exhilarating, it's a  reminder that you were abused, and alerts one's core that one's life was in danger. The suddenness of  experiencing the initial lightening like movement of Orgone is frightening. Being alive, feeling Orgone reminds consciousnes that you are vulnerable. 

Knowing expression, feeling, is the beginning of self regulation. Not relieving the past abuse is a recipe for expressing the abuse unconsciously: without a doubt a tragic ending. Breathing is in partnership with spontaneously expressing emotions. The streaming emotions brings knowledge as memories resurface.

Important changes takes a willingness to follow instructions from your Orgone Therapist and your own consistent Orgone practice. It's no easy road. The primal insults, the babies first ones are hard to access and difficult to express. Yet even a small change, is a release of Orgone, improvement is wonderful and great incentive for continuing.

Letting go in our culture does not happen often, there are too many restrictions, but the insights are startling. One that amazed me is Orgone streaming. Orgone's expansion is the model for the universe; it's eternal continual procreation. Merging expanding, releasing simplifies  Dr. Reich's revolutionary paradigm of tension, charge, discharge, relaxation is the driving universal design. Love is pleasure, reaching for another and sharing love, releasing cosmic Orgone, eternal possibilities. 

Sadly addiction bypasses the streaming, compulsively blocks awareness and misses understanding. Addiction is taking the hammer and ringing the bell without feeling the Orgone fillings wisdom, the pulsing of shared sexual union. Sexual superimposition is knowing its not one's salvation but a way of expressing human enlightenment.

Tension

I had a arch pain. No mater what I tried, and I was a massage therapist it did not stop hurting. A foot Doctor looked at me walking barefooted and told me what's wrong. Being knowledgeable about muscles I was sure it was a bruise.

Nope,  he pressed on my right big toe and said that's it. That's what? Your pressing down with your toe. I was shocked. I was pressing down with with my toe. I let up. The Doctor devised inserts to push my foot to the right.

It was the beginning of becoming aware of where I had contracted muscles to stop me from experiencing being neglected and abused. Subtle is kind compared to the unconscious. Humans have remarkable abilities. We were once  in touch with every part of ourselves. Tighten the solar plexus, tighten any organ, and the occiput, the entrance to the brain.

The cosmic energy is ultimate human knowledge: blocked Orgone. I had reduced  my consciousness and sent the pain to never regions, the unconscious. Orgone has been locked away.

Abuse was ugly, painful, and ones life was in jeopardy. No one wants to remember those abuses. Expressing my anger would have been dynamite. Like waving a red flag to a bull. Hiding in the unconscious is the abused, contracted, determined to not feel. As an adult expressing  the abuse delivers the Orgone, and expanded consciousness.

Stress

No wisdom from a antidepressant.

I was put off. The rush from letting go of all that holding caught me by surprise. I was running from the Orgone and then I felt the surge. The past memories came, and all my mistakes, all my inappropriate anger: I was the past, I was tortured, and over time I became aware of of my unconscious armor that was poisoning my health.

Now flooded with change I was different and I would be different. It takes memories of therapy's amazement to continue practicing, remembering that being alive is spontaneous. The Orgone is the engine and it fills everything. Holding Orgone down is living life backwards. Thankfully Dr. Reich experienced Orgone and had the cojones to share the truth.

In Orgone Therapy I experienced relief, an aliveness to motivate me to make the effort. It is no mean feat. The early collapse feels like I am under a ton of mud. It has aged like the worst black mold. It insidiously is me. Finally an earlier deeper, Orgone arises and claims me. Remembered pleasure. I breathe.

Stress caused a falling back that became my solution. My character was formed under stress.  I disappeared, it worked. It's the character I met the world with; is the persona that leads us to addiction; it is the character that doesn't work. Than when we wish to change that character, the addiction can rear its ugly head. 

That is why when in therapy it is imperative to stay away from your family. They stimulate old behavior. It is also true that other stresses, death, loss of job, moving can also cause a fall back. How to deal with these stresses and not choose addictive behavior can be hard but be aware by breathing Orgonomically will keep one away from addictions. Here is how to consciously breathe. When inhaling feel the Orgone filling the body and the exhale feeling the Orgone streaming through the body, Practice saying filling then spreading, and over time relaxing will increase and and a better perspective appears.  Try not judging too hard, and practice emoting, 

The human beings physiology has activities that exist without our control: heart beat, and especially as children energy, Orgone, that is so plentiful: "Go outside and play. As a child it was easy to escape. Now when Orgone needs to be rational to deal with ones own failures it is essential to find time to emote appropriately. The way to relieve stress by activity, movement worked as a child but now it is an addictive escape. Use the past abuse to motivate change.

No key will open up the invisible Orgone hiding within a busted character. It takes being in Orgone Therapy. Learning by following instructions and then years of practicing. A life and death struggle that needs total commitment.

Love, Work, And Knowledge

"Love, Work, and Knowledge are the wellsprings of our life. They should also govern it". This epigraph by Dr. Wilhelm Reich is on the front page of Dr. Reich's books. As I became aware
of my Orgonomic streaming, the meanings of the epitaph became clear: from the wellsprings of our life, our essence, Orgone, streams. When living is governed by Love, Work, and Knowledge life is understood.

When the bubbling anxiety, panicked confusion awakens you to finally change; and you begin to move in the direction of Love,  Work, and Knowledge than addictive behavior will become manageable.

Love, Work and Knowledge are stars that lead to a deeper connection, to a satisfying life.

Love can be described though love cannot be mechanical, or intellectually achieved; love happens spontaneously, having a safe environment. Women acknowledge the attraction and men if available respectably connect.  

Add Knowledge and Work for optimal function. No job means that Orgone will be recessed. No knowledge means that Orgone will not be stimulated.  All three  pursuits move the Orgone in ways that fill the body with purpose, pleasure and Orgone. 

All three are hooked together by breathing. Less armor allows a combination with breathing to have more Orgone streaming. Better breathing opens the body to feeling one's living pulse. Now you have more Orgone to deal with the rigors of work. More Orgone to be available for love, and the knowledge to keep on learning. 

Breathing can be enhanced by the full body being part of the movement of breath. The whole body begins to move with the inhale and exhale. Breathing becomes dynamic and the access to Orgone streaming is enlightening, motivating. Increased Orgone is needed to deal with the dynamics of a society that has a ruthless, competitive structure.

Focusing on Love, Work, and Knowledge streams the Orgone. Breathe in Orgone and use these three pursuits to eliminate susceptibility to perversion, addiction. Choosing Love, Work, and Knowledge  awakens humans full potential: these three unlock the door to Orgonomic understanding.  

Love  is the movement of Orgone filling the body in response to another's Orgone.

Work  streams the Orgone, Orgone is where knowledge is understood and love blooms. We are the birds singing.

Mangled Truth

After the Nazi Doctor's sadistically tortured, murdered millions everyone was shocked, in disbelief. Now in the U. S.A.. a less obvious torture is being practiced. Sadly it has been woven into the fabric of our culture and very difficult to stop. Beginning with Doctors who recommend cesarean surgery, circumcision, and ending with poisonous chemo. Their ignorance cloaks awareness and reminds that a fantastic lie is easier to believe than the truth. Ignorance seeks agreement and the Emotional Plague find control in being "right."

Ignorance in everyday life is hard to recognize. The movement of the body in pursuing goals (Orgone pleasure) gives hope that understanding will lead to a satisfactory outcome. The pursuit is particularly important; it is what occurs spontaneously in biological organisms. The social nature of groups move Orgone, find safety in herd mentality and agreement blocks knowledge. The initial movements occurred in our birth in seeking contact with mother. It is our inheritance to move outward.

Orgone seeks connection.

Orgone is the driving force to explore our world. In our culture it is consciously blocked by horrendous birth procedures. Instinctively babies will scream at the abuse. Hospitable  torture will be complimented as providing life long immunity. The Doctor's are so contemptuous that their smug smile and your bill is the result. Sadism has led to calling these procedures healthy.

Yes everyone feels relieved that the baby has survived. Little satisfaction for the baby. Frozen, stiff, contracted and unconsciously angry. Now to spend the rest of life trying to understand why life is broken.

Dictatorships is the emotional plague and runs governments. They are overwhelmed by their contracted Orgone. In torturing others they are relieved. Sadism is Orgone perversion.

Confluence

  

One of the egregious outcomes of a perverted perspective is the harm done by Doctors.
Doctors purview is limited by the Doctors checklist, and of course the denial of their Emotional Plague. Added to their burdensome character is the pharmaceutical, FDA regulations. 

Doctors use their guides in examining patients and prescribing drugs. Particularly with antibiotics,  there are many choices, the least strong is used first. Often it is not strong enough and a parade of stronger antibiotics is then used. Put back the beneficial bacteria after ingesting antibiotics. I am still waiting for a Dr. to recommend taking probiotics when taking  antibiotics. There are so many disturbing methods used by Doctor's particularly addressing symptoms instead of functional miscues. 

I've been in the cancer wards and smelled the panic from the nurses who whisper try anything else, to the doctors who treat cancer like it is a cavity. Chemo Therapy a poison, is a sickening example and a murderous example. Not only does the panic inhabit the halls of these ridiculous hospitable but go into any corporations and you can smell the fear of survival. Emotional Plague working like a cancer in our businesses.

It is vicious catch 22 cycle and no one leaves without twisting their musculature into an armored shell. And slowly as the cancer eats away at the foundations, than ones hardened, armored posture will be soothed by pain killing drugs. And it is all interrelated. Simply Orgone is not accessed. Then the musculature tightens long enough, heat is produced and life giving nutrients are reduced resulting in genetic disturbances, mutations, ultimately causing a cascade of new wild growth.

In Orgone Therapy I learned how to breathe and other life changing behaviors. Orgone Therapists know how to experience your armor because they have gone through  Orgone Therapy. Orgone Therapists are skilled in working with patients showing them their armor and their resistances.

I on the other  hand am interested in how, after Therapy, I succeeded: often utilizing my new found being to make better decisions and experience deeper pleasures. Therapists and their books espouse ideas and a huge lexicon concerning Therapy. I on the other  hand write about how the therapy affected my life  after I left Orgone Therapy, particularly addiction. I have found that addiction, is a perverted  release, and unconscious of the "second intermediate character layer which consists exclusively of cruel, sadistic, lascivious, rapacious, and envious impulses." 1.  

Sadly addiction is a perverted answer. No one wants to give up a old release, without Orgone Therapy an impossible task. Adults would rather find Orgone Therapy disturbing, than change. The hidden memory of life's primal joy needs to be denied. The loss of cosmic knowledge will now be buried in a tantrum of addiction.

 Dr. Reich did not reference addictions, it is easy to understand that in the second layer is addictions.
