I really cannot buy into this statement.  I agree that reality is subjective
and therefore if something is experienced by someone it is their reality, but
to talk about it 'existing' is a bit of a stretch.  By this logic there
'exists' a God and a Devil and Santa Claus and a Tooth Fairy and an Easter
Bunny etc. Granted, these concepts do exist in some imaginations, but again
we get into subjective realities.

I also must comment on the recent threads written here.  Let me first say
that I think Reich was a genius and I generally find myself in agreement with
his writings and conclusions.  However, let us not forget that Reich was a
human, and a fallable one, not a god.  Let us not turn the study of orgonomy
into a religion, I don't think Reich would have wanted that.  Let's try to be
somewhat objective and not consider Reich's writings the gospel.

I think we should look carefully at that definition and make darn sure that
we don't become one.

Thanks,
