" People infected by the emotional plague cannot tolerate the spontaneous movement and creativity which is the essence of life, and they particularly hate true love, genuine work and the honest pursuit of knowledge which are the very qualities that medical orgone therapy seeks to develop." THIS! I have been trying to put words to this particular kind of energy, and this is the simplest and most profound explanation. Thank you!
Looks like we’re having a metaphysical conversation here! Love it! I haven’t heard of Reich before so thank you and I will look into it.
If we’re talking about surprised work, Rubert Sheldrakes work on Morphic resonance field is simply the scientific term for “metaphysics.”
Long story short, we’re dealing with a reality more beautiful, spiritual, and mystical than we’ve been taught. Scientism looks to withhold that view from us.
Here’s some work I’ve done in the topics. A lot of these are older archived files, but sharing if anyone is interested:

I didn't like the guy, Freud and Einstein neither. The book burning in Germany during Hitler's time was not about destroying free speech, but rather burning pornography . I did read a few chapters of the Kama Sutra as a youngin, then threw it away. I don't read, promote or care about a personal subject that one inherently learns through life where books on the subject, in my opinion, are nothing but literate porn. Alfred Kinsey, whom I've never read but know about, was a pervert and should have been jailed for his experiments. Elevating these 4 men, intelligent maybe, worthy of praise hell no, are less than irrelevant to me, as I apply zero credence to their opportunistic efforts.
Reich's ravings are simply a modern rewrite of ancient religious doctrine, namely that the ultimate reality is an androgynous,omnipresent, impersonal force variously named Chi, Prana, Mana, and many other names from other primitive cultures. The belief that the ultimate sensual-PHYSICAL act, that of sexual union of male and female somehow is a spiritual act, a means of becoming one with God is also ancient esoteric religious doctrine. The two most common religious symbols, the cross and yin-yang symbols represent sexual union of male and female. Reich's emphasis on orgasm and orgone is simply a variation of the basic theme.
Most edifying. Thank you, but I just had to laugh while reading. The sex act as spiritual in nature? Hogwash. That would mean rape is spiritual. Since when? Not ever. These sex gurus are nut cases. They write books to justify their perversions.
Back in the 70's I believe, The Kinsey Report came out, a book heralded as a masterpiece. My younger sister was tickled pink and couldn't wait to read it. I read the table of contents as she showed me the book, and said Hell No! not reading this crap. She called me a prude. Damned right. Thanks for the link
After Kinsey they levelled up their game and moved on to far more effective psyops like the Beatles and James Bond movies. Daniel Craig moved through about four serious women relationships before ending up with his current Jewish-Hungarian handler:).
Reich stumbled upon aether energy and corresponded with Einstein in efforts to validate his temperature difference experiments. I believe Einstein validated Reich's finding but then suppressed them as it would have called into question relativity. There were no 'convection' currents since Reich's experiments were done in vacuum. Reich was the only person before or since whose books were literally burned by the FBI.
ChatGPT propaganda:
Wilhelm Reich did indeed correspond with Albert Einstein in the early 1940s regarding his experiments with what he called "Orgone energy," which he believed was a form of aether-like life energy. Reich sent Einstein a box containing materials meant to demonstrate a temperature differential effect, which Reich attributed to the accumulation of this energy.
Initially, Einstein was intrigued when he observed a small temperature difference inside the box, leading him to consider the possibility that Reich had discovered something novel. However, after further analysis, Einstein dismissed the effect as being caused by convection currents, rather than an unknown form of energy.
The idea that Einstein suppressed Reich’s findings to protect relativity is an interesting theory but lacks concrete evidence. Reich’s work was already highly controversial, and mainstream physics did not take his claims seriously. It’s more likely that Einstein simply concluded that Reich’s results were not due to a new physical phenomenon, rather than actively suppressing them. However, given that Reich was later aggressively targeted by authorities (including the FDA, which burned his books and destroyed his research), it’s understandable why some suspect a larger suppression effort at play.
What makes you think Einstein deliberately suppressed Reich’s work?
Here’s my explanation on why I think Einstein would discredit this. I’ve touched on Einstein in one of my older articles and I argue that Einstein is a figure propped to divert attention from the true physics of our world.
Einstein theory of relativity was created for the sole purpose of eliminating the concept of “the ether” — by eliminating the ether, a lot of work proposed by others doesn’t get investigated serious
Yes, Reich's books were among the very few in American history to be officially burned by a U.S. government agency—in this case, the FDA, acting under a court order. In 1956 and 1960, tons of his books, research papers, and even laboratory equipment were seized and destroyed, including copies of The Cancer Biopathy and The Mass Psychology of Fascism.
This level of suppression was extreme, even for a so-called "quack" scientist. The government justified it under the claim that Reich was selling fraudulent medical devices (his "Orgone Accumulators"), but the outright destruction of literature was unprecedented. The FBI and other agencies had been monitoring Reich for years, partly because of his radical political views and his unconventional scientific ideas.
As for the Einstein connection, it’s intriguing. If Reich had successfully demonstrated a fundamental flaw in mainstream physics—especially something that challenged relativity—it would have been deeply inconvenient for the establishment. While there’s no direct evidence that Einstein was involved in Reich’s later suppression, it is suspicious that after initially acknowledging a temperature anomaly, Einstein quickly dismissed it and ceased all discussion on the matter.
It’s worth asking: why did Reich's work attract so much suppression, including book burnings, when other fringe scientists were simply ignored? If his ideas were nonsense, why go to such lengths?
Possibly afraid of his power? That if we knew how powerful our bodies are that they’d lose their control over us? That energy is everywhere, that all we have to learn is how to harness it to move it through safely and effectively? Reich came up with a theory and a machine to help in that process; amazing and beautiful. True science is no doubt discovering the wonders of the universe and nature, that Chinese Medicine/energy medicine has been working with for thousands of years, though of course western medicine denies it’s proven. I’m thinking anything having to do with energy and healing had to be squashed to deny the common man understanding of this personal power.
Reich’s books may have been banned when people still understood that pornography darkens the mind and has the potential to turn a person into a slave of their desires. Being a slave of one’s desires is not freedom, it is oppression.
Another thought. Dr Jack Kruse, Nourish Vermont Traditional Foods Health Gathering, spoke of the sunshine effect on the eye and brain. Dr Royal Rife applied sound at frequencies to influence, reorient the brain, body. Energy from sunlight and sound are the input, body uses in positive or negative direction.
I appreciated your deep dive into Wilhelm Reich’s work and its suppression, but I was surprised to see no mention of Dr. Alexander Lowen, who played a crucial role in developing Reich’s theories into Bioenergetic Therapy. While Reich laid the foundation, Lowen expanded on his work, integrating body-oriented psychotherapy with a structured approach that remains widely practiced today.
His books, such as Bioenergetics and The Language of the Body, have been instrumental in bringing Reich’s ideas into mainstream therapeutic practice. Given the article’s emphasis on orgonomy and emotional-physical integration, it seems like a significant oversight not to include him.
The American College of Orgonomy continues to educate professionals and the public on the theory and techniques first developed by W. Reich. This includes both medical orgone therapy and social orgonomy.
Reich was truly ahead of his time...and was able to correlate how sexual repression can lead to tyranny. I interviewed Eric Coppolino recently on the topic:

Reich should not be elevated. Jung, Watson, Kinsey, Rogers, Coulson et. al, manipulated people and destroyed lives.
Yup. Rockefeller Tavistock strike again.
Totally agree. Pure smut, all.

True, yes, Some got by me during that era, saw it so clearly in later years, but thought the exact same about Daniel Craig, the ugliest Bond ever.
