Most people who are familiar with the good works of Dr. Wilhelm Reich, and orgonomy in general, will thankfully not know anything about the Russian psychic healer, Mr. Nikolai Levashov.  They can delightfully ignore this posting, if they so choose.

Others will have heard his name or know about the social movement he has created in Russia, and which today spreads into both Europe and the Americas.  This is being accomplished mainly through his solicitations into the natural health movement, via the route of "psychic healing", which already has its own large following.  Levashov will be known within those circles, either from personal experiences (good or bad) or other inside knowledge. But it is unlikely they will know the materials I am going to expose.

Levashov now has a new book, Russian History Viewed Through Distorted Mirrors. The alarming claims and racist hatred contained in this book were so disturbing that for several reasons I composed a Book Review and Social Analysis on the matter, which is now available as a PDF download.  The book reveals Levashov's descent into Russian Black Fascism, complete with "superior being, white-race" and other extreme mysticism, including Jewish scapegoating and Holocaust denial as core elements.

Levashov's words and writings, and the social movement he is forming, are a prime example of how the mechano-mystical split in character structure, based as it is upon bottled-up emotional turmoil and ungratified sexuality, is a slippery slope down into race-hatred and fascist thinking.  But then, everyone who reads and knows the works of Wilhelm Reich, as on the Mass Psychology of Fascism, or my own cross-cultural study Saharasia, which scientifically and precisely confirmed Reich on those issues, should already appreciate that point.

This is not for publication or web-posting, but many have encouraged it should be shared.

Thanks for your interest,

Interesting review of issues:

Britain's Sunday Times is reporting that as many as 100,000 women in the UK may have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM) procedures- with some medics allegedly offering to carry out the brutal surgery on girls as young as 10.

Though the practice carries a jail sentence of up to 14 years in Britain, the paper reportedly filmed a family doctor, a respected dentist, and an alternative medicine practitioner willing to carry out the illegal practice, or arrange for it to be done, on various females in Britain.

I wish to thank the organizers and participants at my recent lecture and seminar at the Technical University of Munich.  The event went well, by all measures, and some interesting discussion took place during the question periods.  Below is a follow-up with added detail, on a few issues which either required some documentation sources, or for which time did not allow any full addressing.

RE:  Follow-Up Issues

During and after my recent lecture and one-day seminar in Munich, devoted to new research supporting the works of the late Dr. Wilhlem Reich, a number of questions came up and for which I promised specific individuals a reply once returning to the USA.  Since these same questions may be of interest to the entire group of participants, I will make them more publicly available here.

I also wish to re-emphasize a point made at the beginning of the lecture, that in such a short time it was impossible to go into much detail on any one given point of Reich's own research findings, or to give full details on the more recent experimental confirmations.  Here I will also point to additional resources on that issue.

1. A summary article on my Saharasia findings is available, in German and English (plus other languages) for free download from this webpage:  http://www.saharasia.org

The summary article provides basic details on the procedures out of which the World Behavior Map was developed.  Even more exacting details are found in the larger 460+ page book, entitled Saharasia, now available also from Amazon.de and Amazon.co.uk, which saves considerably on shipping costs to European destinations.

2. Regarding Reich's orgone biophysical discoveries, my institute now has two interesting YouTube videos that should be of interest, along with a third one detailing some aspects of the work of the late Dr. John Ott, on low-level electromagnetic pollution, and the importance of full natural solar spectrum light.  See here:   http://www.youtube.com/user/naturalenergyworks

These are condensed for the general public, but cover many of the scientific issues with interesting graphics.

3. My various published scientific articles as appearing in both peer-reviewed research journals and more popular forums are listed here:  http://www.orgonelab.org/demeopubs.htm

Especially I would recommend the article recently published in Water Journal:

Also these two controlled experimental studies confirming biological and physical-anomaly effects from the orgone energy accumulator.

4.  Some of my most recent work, as regarding orgone accumulator influences upon water spectroscopy and/or GM counter rates, has only minimal publication.  However, preliminary reports are found in back issues of the Newsletter of my institute, the Orgone Biophysical Research Lab (OBRL), available for free download from here:

At this same website, you can also add your email to one of the two OBRL Newsletters if you are not already on it.  By adding your email to these lists you will be informed of new publications and conferences devoted to the subject of Wilhelm Reich and orgone biophysics.

5.  A question came up regarding why in 1934 the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA) decided to expel Wilhelm Reich as a member. There are a number of identifiable reasons why Reich became a "thorn in the side of Freud" and other highly-placed psychoanalysts.

        Firstly I should note that Wilhelm Reich describes the events which led to his expulsion in the following article: "The Expulsion of Wilhelm Reich from the International Psychoanalytic Association", Annals of the Orgone Institute, I:114-126, 1947.  Reprints of this journal are available from the Wilhelm Reich Museum bookstore: http://www.wilhelmreichtrust.org  Reich also discusses the matter in his excellent book Reich Speaks of Freud, which is available from booksellers in both English and German-language editions.

        My own review of the history of psychoanalysis, and its general trend of action and thinking during that period, fully supports Reich's view, but also suggest a few additional aspects taken from materials not known or available during Reich's time.

        1932 marks the date of several important publications by Reich.  Notably his pamphlet The Sexual Rights of Youth, and the first German edition of his Mass Psychology of Fascism appeared, eliciting positive reactions among some of the analysts, but negative reactions by others.  His elucidation of the sexual pathology among the followers of Hitler in the National Socialist movement were seen as provocations by many Freudians, who felt they were still, at the end of the day, German citizens who had to "get along" with the dominant political entity, whatever it was.  They had no clarity about the impending catastrophe as was apparent to many others, including Reich, who was put on Nazi death-lists for his sex-political and anti-Nazi activism.  Reich was then active in the Marxist political parties, which was an offense in the eyes of the more conservative analysts, including Freud.  Today we know that Freud was, around this same time, asking Jewish members of the IPA to quietly resign, so their names would not appear on the membership rosters, and thereby avoid problems with the Nazis.  Freud was also relocating to Switzerland, and the entire structure of German psychoanalysis was handed over to non-Jewish leaders.

        As a relevant aside on how far at least one of the former psychoanalysts would go to "get along" (or to become collaborators with the Nazi regime), the one-time psychoanalyst Karl Jung went on to form a decidedly anti-Jewish analytical organization with the cousin of the Reichsmarshal Goering.  He became editor of the Zentralblat (Journal) of a Nazified psychology organization, in which his first-issue editorial made back-handed statements about "Jewish psychology".  At their first official Conference, introduced by Jung was a Nazi speaker who arrived in full black SS uniform, giving a big Sieg Heil to the audience during his talk!  The one-time analyst and director of the Freud Archives, Jeffrey Masson, wrote about this ugly history in a chapter "Jung Among the Nazis", in his book Against Therapy, which is essential reading for its insights into the censored history of psychoanalysis.  Masson did not address Reich's conflict with Freud, however, but by c.1932, Freud considered Reich to be a troublesome "Bolshevik".  This was an angry exaggeration on Freud's part, but nevertheless was a widely held opinion given Reich's passionate opposition to Nazism and support for sexual reform legislation.

        Most all the psychoanalysts in the IPA were un-sympathetic to National Socialism.  But they were nevertheless hostile to Reich for his Marxist views, and for his "provocative" and openly-expressed anti-Nazi position, as well as for his modifications of traditional psychoanalytical concepts.  Reich came to reject the biological nature of the Oedipus complex, considering it to be socially determined.  The Oedipal complex was not present in the sex-positive cultures as per the findings of Bronislaw Malinowski, for example, as presented in the books Sexual Life of Savages and Sex and Repression in Savage Society.  And while Reich's work Character Analysis became a widely-celebrated psychoanalytic textbook, his later changes to psychoanalytic therapeutic methods upset the more rigid analysts.  He initiated a more direct eye-to-eye discussion with the patient, as well encouraging patients to increase their breathing to help bring up buried emotions.  He began touching the patient's body, using methods of compressing specific muscle groups to elicit emotional release.  Added to this was Reich's alliances with the German Communist Party (KPD) towards advancing of his Sex-Pol ideas, which included his determination that sexual relations between young lovers and the unmarried (ie, Romeo and Juliet) was healthy and natural.  All of this was perceived as extreme irritation to the more dogmatic psychoanalysts.

        While Reich was exposing the sex-pathos of the Nazi movement and considered himself to be a committed Marxist, on many occasions he also dared to write and speak critically of the KPD and Soviet leadership, including the High Saints of Soviet Communism such as Lenin.  This was just before the period of the Moscow show trials, when criticism of central party decisions would bring death sentences.   So it is not surprising that Wilhelm Reich's name and statements quickly came to the attention of the party bosses.  He was thrown out of the KPD in 1932, and increasingly became critically outspoken against Communist Party authoritarian methods.  By 1936 or earlier, Reich's name was included on a Top Secret NKVD death-list as a much-hated "Trotskyist" (which was not accurate, Reich was no Trotsky-ite), something which even Reich did not know about.  This death-list document only saw the light of day in recent years, when internal Soviet archives were opened up following the collapse of the USSR.  I have already given some discussion on this amazing document, with citations, in a section "New Information on the Persecution and Death of Wilhelm Reich", reprinted in the revised 2010 edition of my Orgone Accumulator Handbook.  That section is also available on-line at this weblink:  http://www.orgonelab.org/ReichPersecution.htm

        While Freud and the conservative analysts increasingly distanced themself from Reich for the reasons of their objections to Marxism and "provoking the Nazis", Reich's growing criticisms of Communism and the KPD leadership affected his relationship with the Marxist psychoanalysts.  One of Reich's closest friends and associate co-workers of that time was the psychoanalyst Otto Fenichel, a dedicated Marxist who bitterly turned against Reich for such ideological impurity.  Fenichel was instrumental in getting Reich expelled from the IPA in 1934, through spreading of ugly rumors against Reich, and other connivances particularly leading up to the Lucerne psychoanalytic conference.  Fenichel remained a committed Marxist and psychoanalyst, and so had several reasons to hate Reich.  Fenichel's biography suggests he was a "organization man", a social climber who constantly curried favor within the IPA, tempering his Marxism when necessary, but who had nothing of essential criticism to say about Soviet communism.  After psychoanalysis was compromised and disrupted in Europe due to growing Nazi power, Fenichel fled Germany and began writing a series of "Rundbriefs" (round-letters) which were sent around to the remaining core membership of psychoanalysis, who also had by this time also fled to nations outside the reach of the Nazis, in a disorganized diaspora.  Fenichel eventually wrote over 100 of such lengthy Rundbriefs, spreading news of about the work and publications of various analysts, and about the larger psychoanalytic movement, adding his own commentary.  This commentary frequently included defamatory statements against Reich.  Other psychoanalysts repeated Fenichel's lies via spoken rumor and gossip.  When temporarily residing in the USA, Fenichel filled the ears of the influential Karl Menninger with the same anti-Reich poison, after which Menninger helped spread the defamatory gossip and inuendo further by reprinting a major smear article against Reich in his Menninger Clinic Journal, authored by the Communist writer Mildred Brady.  Menninger himself had a well-concealed but now documented leftist sympathy, and there's evidence indicating connections from Menninger and Brady directly into the FDA, which eventually brought Reich down via a phony "investigation" and legal actions.  Fenichel's Rundbriefs are today considered important history by psychoanalysts, and so are republished in a two-volume set of books in the original German language - but with significant English-language passages from Fenichel's American period.  They are still occasionally available in used bookstores: http://www.amazon.de/119-Rundbriefe-1934-1945-Band-1938-1945/dp/3878775687

        As a final note, in historical retrospect it is clear that Reich's entire sex-economic theory was to clash mightily with the elder Freud's own views.  While the young Freud emphasized the real and damaging nature of sexual violence and early childhood trauma, and spoke out against it, exposing the extreme damage done to children by incest and rape, the elder Freud compromised such socially-alarming findings, watering them down so as to curry favor with the upper-class medical authorities of his day.  His original lectures on these subjects, of incest by "proper, upstanding gentlemen" of high Viennese society were unpopular, leading to his marginalization within professional medical circles.  Over a few years time, however, he changed his views so as to de-emphasize the issues of real trauma in favor of early childhood fantasies and wishes. Severely traumatic events such as forced incest (child rape!) and circumcision (genital mutilations!) became subjects within psychoanalysis for purely intellectualized discussions, as merely curious aspects of the netherworldly realm of the unconscious.  One did not any more try to end them, to object publicly to such things, but merely to "understand" and "explain" them in "scientific" papers.  Young girls reporting being raped by older male family members were, by the late-Freudian re-interpretations, "analyzed" to have been merely confusing their own unconscious wishes for sexual intercourse with their fathers.  Little boys didn't suffer from sexual problems later in life due to genital mutilations, or other sexual abuses, but instead experienced circumcision as something "spiritual" or" transformative", and not as a pain-filled torture of sensitive parts of their sexual organ.

        In contrast to the elder Freud, Reich always emphasized the damaging nature of real early childhood traumas and repressions, and the need to protect children from barbaric acts of sexual sadism by adults, as parents, physicians or teachers.  Reich acknowledged early childhood sexuality, but highlighted how under conditions of prolonged trauma and repression, sexual feelings became distorted within loveless compulsive marriages, where adults suffered immense sexual dissatisfaction and frustration, and where adolescents were forbidden to live out their attractions and romances with other youth of the opposing sex.  Incest, child rape, and later homoeroticism was the consequence, and all of this flew in the face of the elder Freud's stultified and intellectualized psychoanalysis.  In my view, Reich had only a partial appreciation of how far the elder Freud had strayed from his own earlier work, and which for the young Reich had been his main attraction to psychoanalysis.  The book Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Incest Theory, by the same Jeffrey Masson as mentioned above, is necessary reading on these issue, and provides many details and references from the Freud archives which previously never saw the light of day.  Not surprisingly, Masson is today no longer working in the Freud Archives, being persona-non-grata, and his writings, like those of Reich, appear on the psychoanalytic Index Expurgatorius.

        All of these factors came into play in the 1930s, where Reich was eventually expelled from the IPA.  With no support from the IPA, and being hunted and hounded by both the Nazis and Communists in Europe, from this same time after c.1932, Reich fled to Scandinavia, and thereafter to the USA.  After arriving in the USA in 1939, and after the defeat of Nazism in the 1940s, Reich continued to be slandered in publications written or edited by the Communist Party and its operatives in the American media.  The socialist-oriented "do-good" "anti-corporation" FDA, fully in alliance with the same old Marxist analysts and psychiatrists who had slandered him in Europe, later launched a faux-investigation which lead to Reich's death and the burning of his books.  This is so, even while members of the modern New Left created a cover-story based upon very slim evidence, that Reich had been destroyed by "right wing Christians" and "McCarthyites".  Factually, the American conservative movement had little to do with Reich's demise, as he simply was not an issue for them.  Reich had become decidedly anti-Communist during his American period of work, based upon his direct experiences with the sneaky, deceitful and cut-throat nature of the Leftist parties in Europe.  For details on this subject, review my article on "New Information on the Persecution and Death of Wilhelm Reich" as weblinked above.

6.  A question was also asked, if anyone had replicated Reich's bioelectrical experiments, and I replied that I did not recall any such replications.   However, I have since been reminded about this paper:

I also recently learned of a doctoral dissertation from the University of Vienna, where just such a replication had been made.  Here is the citation and a download weblink:

Both of these studies provide positive evidence in favor of Reich's original findings.

7.  At the end of the seminar the subject of "chemtrails" came up.  I would recommend to review the various entries at this website for a good overview of the subject from a mainstream science perspective:  http://www.contrailscience.com

Given how Reich's name and the subject of the cloudbuster has been dragged into the "chemtrail" claims, I have posted my own review of the situation, which adds an orgonomic perspective, as well as one drawn from classical weather science.  Here: http://www.orgonelab.org/chemtrails.htm

8. Finally, I was asked by several persons for suggestions on internet news sources which would allow for timely reports on Islamic violence around the world, about the modern alliances between the political Left-fascists and Islam-fascists, and also for more honest reporting than is available from most European left-politic news sources.  Here is a short list of recommendations, to gain an appreciation for what you are very likely not being told (WARNING: These are not for the "politically corrected", weak-minded or lotus-eaters):

Also this list of YouTube presentations on the lesser-known history of the Islamic Crusades:

Each of these web sources also has their own email notification list, giving only the headlines after which you can bring up whatever is of interest.  They are highly recommended.  Unfortunately I do not know of any comparable ones in the German language, but would welcome suggestions along those lines.

That's all, and thanks once again for your interest in my work, and participation at the lecture and seminar.  Be sure to get on the OBRL Newsletter email list, for future notifications of lectures, seminars, conferences, and new publications on the subject of Wilhelm Reich and Orgonomy.
