Dr. Wilhelm Reich was probably the most significant scientific genius in human history, and his work still awaits proper recognition when society has reached a stage where it can accept the truth.
Wilhelm Reich
Reich came along after Jung had split with Freud, and soon became a leading figure in the psychoanalytic movement. His early work was very competent and he rose to become the head of the technical seminar in psychoanalysis.
Gradually he shifted towards seeing the body as a psychosomatic unity with the mind and he developed Character Structure theories which were soon to supplant the more chaotic ego psychology of Freud.
Although Reich's theories on Character Structure were accepted more or less by psychoanalysis it led onto even more staggering discoveries in the realm of society and cosmology and medicine which most psychoanalysts found too radical and dangerous for them.
Infact Sigmund Freud vacillated between seeing Reich as his successor and as being the true pioneer of future psychoanalysis and seeing him as another who had veered too far away from original psychoanalytic truths.
A lot of comfortable psychoanalysts who were in it just as a lucrative safe career were afraid and jealous of Reich's genius and abilities and he was eventually thrown out of the psychoanalytic movement in spite of support from many younger members.
One gets the impression Freud was unhappy about Reich's leaving the psychoanalytical movement but by then Sigmund Freud was nearing death from mouth cancer (as Reich had predicted) and no longer the man he had been in better days.
Orgone life energy
Reich is of course famous for discovering or at least proving the existence of a physical universal life energy, which he named Orgone energy.
It is the same as the Indian Prana and Chinese Chi energy, but Wilhelm Reich was able to study it's properties scientifically.
It is a mass free energy and permeates everything in the universe but at different rates of vibration. Reich was able to prove the assertions of so many cultures in the past who believed in such an energy.
Reich was also able to show why the Michelson-Morley experiment in the late 19th century had failed unexpectedly to prove the existence of an ether or universal energy.
Infact Wilhelm Reich was the major genius of the age and his discoveries in so many fields are mind boggling.
