Why
would the United States government seek out and literally burn all the
books they could find that mentioned a particular scientist’s work?
Don’t you owe it to yourself to learn what it is they’ve worked so hard
to suppress?
The life story of Wilhelm Reich should be taught in
schools across the globe! If you don’t know about this important 20th
century figure, you owe it to yourself to watch this free documentary on
his life. I found it at Archive.org and reposted. Below is the
description and information I found at that site.
……………………………….
Wilhelm
Reich was a psychologist and author who came to the United States in
order to escape Fascism and the ravages of the Second World War. The
American authorities showed their subsequent appreciation for his work
by burning many of Dr Reich’s books in 1950s. (Not unlike how the Nazis
did twenty years before.)
He died on November 3rd 1957 in
Lewisburgh Penitentiary. In his will, Reich stated that his unpublished
papers were to be locked away until the year 2007, 50 years after his
death, when as he put it, “man would be ready for his concepts.”
Wilhelm Reich and Orgone Energy
Wilhelm
Reich was a physician-scientist whose investigation of energy in human
emotions led to his discovery of a previously unknown energy which Reich
called “orgone” energy. Reich found this energy (somewhat similar to
the chinese concept of chi) exists in all living matter and in the
cosmos. It is a life energy.
In 1954, the Federal Food and Drug
Administration obtained an Injunction by default which ordered Reich to
stop using orgone therapy to heal people. Reich refused to recognize
their authority as non-scientists to stop his reasearch.
Reich
was convicted of contempt of court and imprisoned in Lewisburg
Penitentiary where he died on November 3, 1957. The FBI raided his
offices and burned his books and research papers.
from dictionary.com: ‘orgone’:
A
universal life force hypothesized by Wilhelm Reich, supposed to emanate
from all organic material that purportedly can be captured with a
boothlike device and used to restore psychological well-being

This
powerful new documentary by filmmaker Kevin Hinchey, contains rare
archival film and still photos never before seen. Made in collaboration
with Mary Higgins, Director of the Wilhelm Reich Infant Trust and The
Wilhelm Reich Museum, it is an excellent introduction to the life and
work of a courageous physician-scientist. The film presents both a clear
picture of Reich’s science and a moving portrait of the man.
Noted
physicist Fritjof Capra has described Reich as “a pioneer of the
paradigm shift. He had brilliant ideas, a cosmic perspective, and a
holistic and dynamic world view that far surpassed the science of his
time and was not appreciated by his contemporaries.” Today, Reich
remains unappreciated. In the words of his former student, the late
Chester M. Raphael, MD, Reich is “misconstrued and misesteemed.” Man’s
Right to Know goes a long way in providing an accurate and authoritative
account of a fascinating figure who has helped to shape our world.
The
half-hour long documentary will be followed by a talk by Trish Corbett
and Michael Mannion on Reich’s valuable insights into Truth and
Countertruth. These two concepts help us understand why it is so
difficult for important ideas to be accepted, as was demonstrated in
Man’s Right to Know.
Reich wrote, “In order to use the tool of
truth efficiently, one must know the COUNTERTRUTH proficiently.” But
what is truth? And what is Countertruth? How can they be used
effectively at home, at work, in personal relationships and in society
at large?
