Dear friends,
This episode is really sad. Less for the content of the accusations and more for the form and the
chain-reaction of irrational anger and name-calling that forwarded.
I want to step back and try to see the real causes of so much irrationality among intelligent
and, I believe, well-intentioned people. Is orgonomy different just because it has found a new
energy, laws and principles of nature? Because it connects differet areas of science? All that is
true but I feel it's not the answer.
Orgonomy Functionalism is singular and a hope to humankind because it includes the observer's
organism as a determinant of any experiment. If we are too much armored all of our conclusions
will be shaded by it. Science becomes, as it did, a stage where personal vested interests play,
not the search for truth.
My oppinion is that the greatest task to further Reich's research is to create relatively
unarmored researchers. That's a precondition to any serious work. Reich himself didn't succeed in
creating a healthy community around him, what's proved by the segmentary climate installed after
his death. This venture is ours now. Or we'll be running after our own tails.
If we believe that the orgone energy hasn't been found or recongized by traditional science
during the last few thousands of years due to it's incapacity to *perceive* reality in an
integral way, then we should add efforts to eliminate this blockage more than trying to speculate
about orgone's applications. We should engage on a fight (i don't like this term) against the
emotional plague. The rest will come easily.
I'm not talking about massive therapy, but how to create an environmet where plague attacks can
be avoided, easily identified and treated in an easy way. I like to call the research I'm doing
on this by "Ethics of Transformation", or how to live when you decide that this armor is not for
you anymore, but still your far from being a "genital character".
I hope to have contributed to the discussion, and I'm open to receive criticisms or ideas. I love
this list, let's make it each time even more loveable.
Sincerely,
Alan Pogrebinschi
