Myron Sharaf floods the reader’s senses with a myriad of petty ordinary details surrounding the life of the Scientist that Discovered, and Proved, the Orgone, that is to say, the envelope that surrounds the planet and permeates all living creatures through and through, with that “element” that allows for the continuation of life on Earth, imbuing it with evolving impulses.
One must raise the question as per why, in all its seriousness, the only Scientist capable of proving the Orgone, the Life force, the evolving principle permeating all living creatures, including the planet itself, has been so maligned, so ridiculed, so abused, so persecuted, by the forces that hold the (temporary) power, on this world ….
The True reasons are far too profound to be exposed on this blog, for we are dealing here only with a superflous result of a decadent “pop culture” piece of information, molded for the masses of a generation that found some value investing time reading a biography of somebody their curiosity led them towards knowing more about. Nevertheless, the “manuscript” in question has been proclaimed and ordained to be the “official” biography of the Scientist that proved the eternal element in the human being, one would think that a biography of such a Scientist would measure up to, at least, the enormous struggles endured by this man on the path that led him to the final achievement of his discovery.
That, sadly, is not the case.
Following the trend, the “official biographer” of Wilhelm Reich, dismisses and nullifies the most important discovery in the history of the Earth, on this age, and focuses almost exclusively in exposing irrelevant details, that offers no value to the soul that genuinely feels drawn towards researching the life of this Scientist, nevertheless, such genuine soul shall promtly set the “book” aside, and not waste time with it.
Above we notice the image that is intended to be projected, of someone eager to accept money, to ask for it, from his “followers”, hence the implication of a “leader” with “followers”, that is to say, a sect, is established. With this grave accusation, for it is nothing but that, whatever follows in the subsequent description matters not, to the unsuspected reader, that takes no care of going into depth of who the accused “leader”, really, is. In any case, Wilhelm Reich earned everything he possessed, in material terms, by means of his hard work as a doctor, healing diseases that ranged from plain mental illness, to cancer, with no cuts, no invasive surgeries, no cutting into flesh, no traumatic invasion of the organism, ut by simply exposing an orgonomic system, that of the human body, to the exposure of the Cosmic Healing Power of its very source: the Orgone energy, the Life Force.
Any suffering victim of the many disorders of the organism, originating all from the same source: lack of vitality, stagnation of the Life Force, finding healing and recovery by such humble, yet powerful, method, such as being exposed to a concentrated “piece” of the Orgone Energy, within an accumulator, obviously not only felt compelled to reward the person that made it possible for him or her to recover health, by whatever amount was established in his practice back in those days, but, possibly, also contributed to a significat larger amount in the form of a donation, for the cause, for humanity’s sake.
In any case, it is documented in his recorded entries, for we are talking about a Scientist that recorded every single detail surrounding His Work, knowing the terribly urgency and importance of His Discovery, that the royalties from renting the orgone accumulators to his patients, were to be significantly reduced, and even removed altogether, to those patients from the working class who could not afford it; furthermore, when the threat of an atomic attack hovered over the skies of the US, as His Discovery took place in the midst of WWII, He offered his property in Orgonon, with all the equipment and orgone accumulators, at the service of the people, knowing that the only possible refuge from an atomic bomb, was to be there, where the Life Energy was Discovered, and placed at the service of a humanity being annihilated, from all directions.
Wilhelm Reich was the only being, on Earth, at a time in history where the atomic threat hovered all over the planet, capable of counteracting the effects of a nuclear attack, and he placed everything he owned, along with this Discovery and abilities to fight a nuclear attack, at the service of the US, and the whole world.
He called it ORANUR – Orgonomic anti nuclear radiation -, and it was his plan to utilize the enormous power unleashed by the exposure of radium to a ten fold orgone accumulator, against the nuclear radiation threatening Life.
Excerpts from the aforementioned project:
These words are written by the man accused of asking for money and recruiting followers
Heart wrenching words below, begging the powers in place, to allow him to help humanity ….
His plea to save humanity from the nuclear disaster, not only was ignored, but penalized, for shortly after, he was incarcerated, for trying to aid the human race.
Robert Oppenheimer, on the other hand, was granted all resources, all the power and the funds he wished, at his disposal, to create and utlize, the Atomic bomb …. please, meditate on that!
What a sad, sad, sad world, this is, my friend.
Let us continue the path laid out by mr. sharaf, on his “version” of Reich’s “biography” ….
Sharaf finally leaves his position as an assistant to Wilhelm Reich, unable to cope with the demands from a Scientist absorbed in the midst of bringing to the material realm, to prove once and for all, leaving no room for doubt, the existence of the Orgone. The scope and dimension of this achievement could never be understood from a purely physical approach, for it does escape a comprehension limited to just the five senses, this Scientist PROVED THE ETERNAL ELEMENT of Life, His senses and abilities were directed by the Supreme Intelligence of Higher Beings, unreachable to the average mind, off limits to the “little man”; if this sounds mystical, is because we are so far removed from reality, that even a slight approximation to the Truth, can appear as something “fantastic”, to ordinary reason. But ordinary reason must graduate to a higher understanding of our Nature, as human beings, of our relationship to the Universe. And this understanding was brought about by the Discovery of the Orgone, thanks to the hard work of Wilhelm Reich.
So “little man” Sharaf, leaves his position as assistant to the Scientist he subjects to his biography years later, posthumously, unable to cope, to return to his cushioned sheltered real life, as a Harvard graduate.
The lack of a healthy “withdrawal” from the past, the moving on with one’s life, accepting the mistakes and hardships and learning from the experience, is quiet evident and it is revealed by his own words …
The above touches on the neurotic, and it is, if read with the appropriate understanding, indicative of a personality disorder.
Sharaf mentions this curious and, rather disturbing, fact, to reassure the reader that he kept up to date with Wilhelm Reich’s Life, on his back, in an attempt to self assurance, in an attempt to make us understand that by finding out about the Scientist, on a regular basis, and obtaining third party opinions from his daily life, he is granted the right to be his biographer.
It does not take much common sense for anyone with a modicum of decency to know, that only by direct interaction and experience, may one earn the right to give one’s opinion.
But mr. Sharaf went behind the person being subjected to his biography, to obtain reassurance on his own version of Wilhelm Reich’s biography, not based on His monumental Work and Discovery, but based on third party accounts of people that gravitated around Him, with only a minimal description on events resulting from a direct interaction between himself, and the Scientist, events of a petty and irrelevant nature.
