4 – Sharaf’s relationship with Reich
Once all acknowledgements and proper introductions have been completed, sharaf awaits at the door to welcome us into the many chambers of his experience, with the man he is about to expose in his biography.
He awaits the reader with a smile, sheltered on his assumption of the general ignorance and lack of understanding the average reader, holds of Wilhelm Reich’s Work.
This sad fact, grants a free pass to an account of events, as documented by the writer, where veracity and Truth, does not necessarily find the correct venue, towards an honest exposure; where half truths and emotionally tainted recollections, reign unquestioned, as an army of powerful savages, entering the garden of eden, and desecrating everything on its way.
But the blessing of each page on this book, fury on earth, has been conducted, nevertheless, by the same “claws” that decide which seeds are to be planted, once the garden has been turned into a desert, ready to be artificially turned into a landscape of the absurd.
Wikipedia:
“paul roazen”, the man that instruct us to take myron’s “fury on earth” as the definitive work of scholarship, studied at the same place sharaf did, along with einstein; all of these men discredited and nullified the Work of a Man that died defending Life, a Man that created the only possible solution to fight back the emergence of an insidious monster: atomic energy, being backed up and introduced into the World by men that crawled up from within the same sewage cracks of this cave: Harvard university.
So, going back to “fury on earth”.
Let us not loose perspective here and remember, this man, sharaf, was a “psychotherapist”, so he knew how to appeal to most of the population’s psyche, (regardless of the poor writing style exhibited all through his book, and there is a reason for that: a writer must hold a large degree of soul, of passion, of Life, to be able to convey, to translate the message to be delivered, from his or her inner core, to the reader. Mr. sharaf, obviously, lacked these attributes, quite naturally, as they only relate to Life and Truth); however, he had the necessary tools, artificially implanted, through years of education at one of the finest universities, to address and direct the average human intellect, towards his side of the story. Added to this advantage, is the fact that the Man, capital “M”, being judged, (for this “biography” is nothing more than a glorified voluminous gossiping magazine), is not around in physical shape to be able to correct the false perception that fury on earth so insidiously guides the reader towards, in relation to Wilhelm Reich’s Life, and deception has secured a placed in the podium of victors, along with the rest of lies and falsehoods, recorded in history by the “winners”.
But Truth Has ME and the Writings of Wilhelm Reich on Its side. He may not be around in physical shape, but His Work is, and so am I, the one that has read and assimilated It, and this, my friend, is nothing to be underestimated.
So, let us return to “fury on earth”, Wilhelm Reich’s official biography, according to the officials that declare what is to be officially official, or not so much ….
Wikipedia’s draconian assertment is backed up by a large number of references that direct a search on Wilhelm Reich, straight to myron sharaf’s “fury on earth”, if the call to find out further about the Man that proved Life, arises beyond simple superficial information on His Work.
It is, indeed, a very complex and monstruous machine at work, ensuring any question lands within the boundaries of what is acceptable, to keep the paradigm, so successfully maintained and nurtured, alive …. the paradigm humanity sits under … what a sad place that is …..
But let’s get back to the point. The point here is to dissect, analize and understand what is this man, myron sharaf, communicating to the public through his words on Wilhelm Reich, via this biography.
When venturing into the reading of such a voluminous book as “Fury on earth”, the mind enters into a process of selection where only certain words that catch the reader’s attention, are retained. A skillful manipulator of written language, knowing this, inserts selected key words, previously studied, within certain sentences, at certain intervals, preferably at the beginning of each paragraph, to cause the maximum impact within the reader’s psyche, knowing beforehand, that complete messages can be delivered and “installed”, by means of just a few, but “poignant”, words.
“Fury on earth” has been cleverly composed to lead the reader into an understanding of Wilhelm Reich, as conceived and fabricated by the author, myron sharaf, and not neccessarily to disclose the true insight and importance of Reich’s Work, no just for personal reasons, deriving from the difficult relationship that the biographer had with the man being subjected to the biography, but simply due to the fact that the biographer has not made himself familiar with the writtings of Wilhelm Reich. This fact alone, should disqualify him from being His “official biographer”.
A biography of Wilhelm Reich excluding the study of His Work, is not valid.
And yet, “Fury on earth” is the official biography of Wilhelm Reich … let us read it, shall we? …. I know Wilhelm Reich’s Work, I have read and study it, I understand what His Discovery centers upon, I know the importance of His Work, so when you, The club of “important people that make decisions”, tell me that this book is to be the official biography of My Friend, I stand like a warrior, backed by Knowledge, in front of your bullcrap to dissect and expose each piece of garbage you have written about the Man that died fighting for my right to know the Truth. It is personal, very personal.
So let’s begin:
Of kiddies and fruitcakes …
Here we see that Myron was just a kid when he met Wilhelm Reich, “about to go into the military service”, right off the bat, preliminary attention is diverted from the Man whose biography one is intending to read, towards the biographer himself; for the majority of people, (certainly not for this hippie), a kid about to go into the military is nothing short of a young hero, forced by his country to defend freedom and values … ( you have got to laugh, sorry …), so an image of this young hero is already implanted in the reader’s mind.
As we learn of the “tenderness of age” and “heroic circumstances” the biographer’s life was approaching towards, we also receive an initial introduction of Wilhelm Reich: hardly anyone knew him in the us, the only work available in english had the word “orgasm” in it, and the standard psychiatric opinion was that He was a crackpot.
1-The biographer’s age and whether he was going into the military or into a cave expedition is irrelevant. The biographer simply seeks to implant a first impression of a certain image, within the reader’s psyche.
2-While Wilhelm Reich might have been relatively unknown in the united states at that time, His writtings were of such an importance, that He had to move several different countries, persecuted by the nazis, by the communists, by the psychoanalyst rats, persecuted by the enemies of Life that understood the profundity of His Work, and hence, the menace towards their very secured milennial plan, to keep humanity enslaved and ignorant.
3-The standard psychiatric opinion of Wilhelm Reich, projected an image towards the world of “insanity”, while at the same time, the same entity, the APA, elaborated a campaign against Him, ultimately, sending Him to prison and killing Him, being threatened by His Work and Discovery.
The kid gets excited
Again, emphasis on the lack of knowlegde Reich’s Work had in the US at the time; things have not changed so much, indeed, it has gotten worse, for hardly anybody now, would be able to comprehend the enormity of His Work. Available it is, but humanity has been dumbed down to a kindergarden level of intellectual capability, and this secures a safe guard against any approach to His Writtings.
The “heroic teen” was full of “enthusiasm and excitement” , from “his readings of what had appeared in english” of Wilhelm Reich; and yet, being as he was, at the time of this documented fact, a psychoanalyst, he fails to explain the reason why, this important event in a young man’s life, takes place: the stirring up of Life within his core, as he discovers the Work of a scientist that, although not widely known within his “circle”, conveys a provocative message of Life and Truth. It is, precisely, this initial and almost involuntary inner reaction from one’s own core, that opens the gateway that leads to a clear Vision of Reality, be it handed down in a piece of literature, or be it evoked in a masterpiece in the form of a painting, a poem, a musical composition. Everyone holds a spark within that ignites when confronted with the flame of Life, in its many manifestations. It was clear that young Sharaf was “moved”, by the reading of Wilhelm Reich’s Work.
Yet, what follows is an attempt to distort the reader’s capacity to understand the reason why sharaf found interest in Reich’s Work: “His whole syndrome of ideas”, a statement so poorly expressed, that one can hardly understand what exactly is meant by it. But the writer is not aiming at the reader’s understanding of it, he is aiming directly at the reader’s subconscious by inserting one single word, and that is all it takes for the unsuspecting reader, to make up his or her mind, on the genuine nature of the inmensity of the Work of Wilhelm Reich. One single word to bring down, like a house of cards, the importance of His Work: “syndrome“.
Someone described as holding a “syndrome”, in whichever context, even that of a positive nature, (not the case here), evokes a weak perception of the subject in question, adding a “degree” out of “normality”, that usually nullifies any achievement, any single idea, any one thought, generated by the “syndrome bearer”, automatically disqualifying him or her, from holding the neccessary level of respect and correct perception, within the reader’s opinion, now infested with this single but damaging word: “syndrome”.
A second “reinforcement” dose of damaging words, taken out of context , is inyected in the same paragraph: “joyous sensuality” and “sexual freedom”. Without an appropiate preliminary exposition within the Work of the Man whose biography is being exposed, these words not only lack the correct context, but they are used as a weapon to lead the reader towards a damaging and sick perception of Wilhelm Reich’s writtings.
Only the researcher that has studied and understands His early writtings during His period on social work, that is, living and experiencing first hand the misery of the masses of people, offering the countless numbers of desperate individuals a solution for their misery as they crowded His clinics on mental and sexual health, fighting the fascist monster alongside them, being one of them on the streets, joining the many demonstrations that the inevitable rise of hitler provoked in what was left of sanity within the masses, is able to understand the correct relation between the words “sensual sexuality” and Wilhelm Reich’s Work. To “throw” these terms upfront, otherwise, to an audience not familiar with His Work, is simply a manipulation to deviate the facts, and is rather a reflection of the writer’s character, over the actual writting itself.
Worth a thousand words …..
So the saying goes, about an image. And that is the intention mr. sharaf wants to follow up with, after the initial set up for the portrait has been “laid out” with shades of “general lack of knowledge and interest” in Wilhelm Reich’s inmensely important Work, by the general public in the united states; it is now time to continue with a graphical description of his impressions upon his first meeting with Wilhelm Reich.
Sharaf was 18 at the time, a student, an impressionable kid, a young man whose every neccesity in life, was well provided for by his affluent family. Wilhelm Reich was a 47 year old Man who had been through hell and back, a hundred times. He lived through two wars, he experienced hunger, persecution, defamation, abuse, loneliness, and, specially, being, above all, the Scientist He was, the struggle to understand the origin of humanity’s “armoring against Life”, a pathology He termed: “The emotional plague”.
And so 18 year old sharaf, makes his grand entrance at Wilhelm Reich’s laboratory, to meet the Man that was to be his Teacher, a Man with a thousand lifetimes of experience in human suffering and misery over His Shoulders, and this is what the 18 yeard old pampered young man, has to say:
“The impression of
largeness was intensified by his weight. Since 1940 he had acquired a distinct potbelly” – Fury on earth
“He was ruddylooking a redness I later learned was partly due to a skin condition he had long suffered from” – Fury on earth
“When I mentioned that my mother had told me about his books, Reich looked down and his mouth fell open, the expression resembling that of a disappointed child. He simply said “Oh,” in a crestfallen way, as though he had expected I had heard about him from a more academic or professional source.” – Fury on earth
To include these petty details in a book proclaimed to be an official biography, speaks more of the character of the biographer, than that of the subject of the biography.
The physical traits of a Man that, at that point in time, carried the deep burning of knowing the cause and cure for human suffering, is of minor relevance, nevertheless, let us remember that (healthy) women naturally gravitated around his natural aura of masculinity, this fact, the biographer knows too well, being, as he was, “victim” of abandoment by his former wife, who chose Wilhelm Reich as her companion, for some time, before she left the us.
Again, the writer’s emphasis on superficial traits, on irrelevant details, that does not place the reader or researcher within the correct mind frame, towards a true understanding of what this great scientist’s discovery, was about.
A few thoughts ….
I catch myself wondering, at this point … am I acquiring the same character this man, Myron Sharaf, “exudes”, from within the lines of his writings? … is, somehow, that aura of superficiality and revenge, changing direction and heading towards me now? … am I, unaware at this moment, entering the same game prepared by those who painted the grand checkerboard humanity’s pieces have been arranged over, by the same Club of powerful entities, of which this website exposes, on one of its favourite “members”? ….. is the same empty and deadly “energy” that impregnates “Fury on Earth” permeating now my own writing? ….
No
What else but Truth, can I express in my writing right now, almost certain, as I am, that not another soul will read these lines, anytime soon? …. strange, it seems, does it? That someone could dedicate so much time and energy composing a website, fully aware that there is no audience ….. this, precisely, is my own safeguard and guarantee, that a genuine message is being conveyed, for I have no-one to convince.
My job is not to convince any future reader, my Job is to direct the flow of pure running water, back to its rightful path, now desecrated and dried up, towards the Ocean of what is Truthful and Alive.
So let us continue, shall we?
Continuing with Sharaf’s first impressions on Wilhelm Reich, as the Scientist received him in at His laboratory, he continues recalling the first questions he was being subjected to, by his future Teacher: “Are you healthy?” ….
A question, the biographer claims to understand, beyond its physical meaning, while shying away in providing a straight, clear answer. At this point I know that Sharaf is lying, for Wilhelm Reich would have never accepted anything less than a clear and straight forward answer, be it positive or negative; Sharaf’s claims to have “shied away”, replying that “he did not know” would have disqualified him instantly from as much as holding any contact with anything related to Orgonomy, let alone, work and study with the Man that discovered that the only way towards Truth and Life, the very same subjects He Validated in His laboratory after many years of close contact with the suffering of thousands of human beings, is a direct and clear approach.
An evasive or shy character, would have never found a place to stay, within thirty feet away from Wilhelm Reich; He knew better than allowing that pernicious character trait holder, to be in the proximity of His important Work on the Discovery of the Life Energy.
But, once more, the Living Trusts, even in the face of the most hideous lie, for He believes that the same Truth He operates under, is present in everybody else ……
No, sharaf, we both know He was not curious about your “sexual life”, within the dirty shade that you are implying, we both know that it was your bio-energetic health, He was referring to, of which complete surrender to the streaming of Life by an organism is a requirement, to qualify as Healthy, in the “Alive” sense of this definition …. Don’t we, sir?, and yes, one had to be healthy in this sense just described, to qualify as a student of Life. But, as my Friend said: the living is at a disadvantage against the enemies of Life, for they Trust that the same Truth operates through everyone else. But this is not the case, is it not, Sharaf? ….
Sharaf continues his recalling of the first meeting with the Discoverer of the Orgone, as the “interview” for a prospect job with Him, ends:
Boy, was His prediction, once again, correct, on the last sentence of the above paragraph …
Yet, another poorly composed desperate attempt to place the reader in the imaginary world of a “heroic innocent kid meeting with a nutcase and pornographic scientist”, while ridiculing the science of Orgonomy, that is, the Science that Proves Life, in the most pathetic way.
I very much doubt the absurdities written in this paragraph run sharaf’s mind at the time the interview for a prospect job with Reich, came to an end that fateful afternoon, for if that was the case, the inevitable aura of dishonest infantilism exhuded by a stupid kid that simply felt curiosity and admiration for a Scientist of the measure of Wilhelm Reich, would have betrayed him right there and then, and a further meeting with the Discoverer of Life, would have not been granted, at all, period.
No, the stupid lines written in this last inserted paragraph of “fury on earth” could not have possibly run sharaf’s mind; nothing else but Life Itself, in Its emotional expression, could have invaded sharaf’s being after this first meeting with Reich, for even as a stupid and pampered kid, he still held a sufficient amount left of honesty, capable of igniting the desire to work for a Man that proved as eternally valid, that same Force that brought sharaf, to His doorstep: the Force of Life.
Guilty by association
What follows is a direct psychic reflection of mr. Sharaf’s relationship with the opposite sex, via the description he offers the reader regarding the two most important figures in a man’s life, regarding women: his mother and his wife.
With a complete lack of tactfulness and respect, sharaf wastes no time explaining how his own mother was a victim of mental illness, when he was a small child, and goes as far as affirming that he was “exploited by her”, by being dragged into “one thing or another, of her obsessions”; he offers no further details to sustain this accusation, he simply adds how this woman dreamed of a better world where she would be a leader and would have a scientist to help her achieve this; of course, this scientist would be Reich, whom she venerated and respected.
Sharaf was introduced to the Works of Wilhelm Reich by his mother, who was hospitalized in a mental institution for two years.
Now, we have the perfect association laid out by sharaf: as a child, exploited by a schizophrenic mother whose mental illness was directly related to the impact Wilhelm Reich’s Work had on her, followed by his puberty years, this time being directly exposed to the “mad scientist” himself, for whom he would end up working for.
A more appropriately elaborated exposition of the reasons behind this woman’s insights and “out of character” relation towards the work of Wilhelm Reich, would have been a correct point of departure, specially taking into account the fact that the writer himself, holds “psycotherapist”’s abilities. Why does he not put into practice his own abilities as such, to expose the pathological reasons behind the abnormal behaviour of his mother, instead of taking the always infinitely easier popular route of slandering?
Now, the work of Wilhelm Reich, once understood, does not leave you indifferent; if not “armed” with the same degree of integrity as Wilhelm Reich Himself held, the Discovery that this Man granted humanity with, could lead a “weak” mind to delusions, such as it was obviously the case in sharaf’s mother, or it can make other individuals run to the “shelter” of secret societies, as in the case of Elsworth F. Baker, in whom Reich Himself, placed His trust to continue His Work (the Living is trusting).
Why would anyone feel the need to belong, or to accept the invitation of a group of very powerful men, calling themselves “Knights of Malta”, in relation to one’s understanding of the Orgone, as discovered and exposed by Wilhelm Reich? After all, Reich Himself did not belong to any secret society nor did He hold any affiliation to men formed groups or selected secret societies, indeed, He Himself bore the immense weight of the greatest Discovery ever made by any human being in the history of this poor old planet, in the most profound loneliness …… as NOT ONE SOUL understood the depth of His Discovery:
The “abused by his mother” brave hero kid finds time to join the military ..
The “discipline of military life” stands in direct opposition to any kind of association to Reich’s Work with the Orgone, where only a free influx of one’s own energy, towards a common goal in the field in question, that of the discovery of the world Ether, would have been considered as a useful tool, in the aiding to His Scientific task; in fact, a human subjected to the discipline of military life is the antithesis to what Wilhelm Reich considered a healthy environment, and one that breeds armoured individuals, empty vessels, machines ready to take orders, lifeless.
The most important requirement to engage in the Work this Man was involved with, in the tremendous task of proving the existence of the Orgone to a zombified humanity, was that of personal inner freedom and impeccable moral character, that of being a true representative of Life, not an advocate for death.
Quite the opposite of a creature that, out of his own free will, and in complete knowledge, enlists in an activity where orders to kill another human being, are not to be questioned, but readily obeyed, without question.
Nevertheless, despite the flashing hot red flag of a self proclaimed victimised hero, joining, to top it up, the military, sharaf manages to associate himself with the real Hero, (and NEVER a victim, by the way); the mystery of how a character as dissociated from the tremendous Reality and Truth of the Discovery of the Orgone, as sharaf, achieves to even be allowed to stand within the proximity of Wilhelm Reich, let alone, work for Him, is one of those riddles of life, that puzzles the most genuine souls, but so it is, and so it was, that the representative of the same emotional plague that harassed and killed Him, ended up being a first hand witness, of the coming into physical and irrefutable manifestation, of the Orgone, by means of Wilhelm Reich’s enlightened Work on, through, for and by, Life.
If the intention of the paragraph above was to highlight or review the publications in question, as an honest biography should be composed of (an orientation of the Work Itself, of the person whose biography is being exposed), the content of such, at the very least, in a very basic way, should have been elaborated, but only the titles are mentioned … why? What is the purpose of going into the trouble of typing the rather long titles of these three publications, two of which held, not back then, not subsequently, any weight defining Reich’s recognised Work to the public, as it was sadly the case with most of his Writtings?, the reason lies behind the first layer, for one must always deepen his or her discerning powers, to think correctly, and reach a correct conclusion: the selected play of words conjures within the average reader’s mind, at a subconscious level, a mocking deception over the personality and hence, Discovery Itself, of Wilhelm Reich. Let us remember here that it was Life Itself, that His Work and every single one of His publications, were centred around, but based on the “biographer”’s exposition in this single paragraph alone, the average mind will retain, mostly, a fantasy world like environment within which an innocent hero kid was submerged under, influenced by a crazy mother, and a lunatic mad man.
That this kind of publication has made it as the official biography of Wilhelm Reich, confirms a decadence in human moral values, clothed and disguised as “normality”. This is not normal, my friend, this book is a defamation and it should be looked upon as something to understand from a point of view of a deeply hurt soul, the author, who, unable to heal, viciously swings back at his victim, from an advantageous position; sadly, that was always the case through Reich’s Life, vicious attack after vicious attack, usually, unbeknown to him, as His many enemies hid and acted from the clandestine confines of their holes.
