“It goes very deep. I don’t know whether you are acquainted with the orgonomic picture of the structure of the human character–the “core,” the “middle layer,” and the “periphery.” It gives one a very practical tool with which to work with patients. It is a bio-energetic tool. You can’t get at the human character by psychoanalytic means. You have to reach it with character analysis or orgone therapy. Human beings live emotionally on the surface, with their surface appearance. Correct? In order to get to the core where the natural, the normal, the healthy is, you have to get through that middle layer. And in that middle layer there is terror. There is severe terror. Not only that, there is murder there. All that Freud tried to subsume under the death instinct is in that middle layer. He thought it was biological. It wasn’t. It is an artifact of culture. It is a structural malignancy of the human animal. Therefore, before you can get through to what Freud called Eros or what I call orgonotic streaming or plasmatic excitation (the basic plasma action of the bio-energetic system), you have to go through hell. Just through hell! This is true for the physician as well as the patient. In this hell, there is confusion, schizophrenic breakdown, melancholic depression. They are all there. I have this in Character Analysis. I don’t have to repeat it. But why bring the Life Force in here? There is only one reason: to show you why nobody wanted to touch it or to get at the biological core where I was working at that time. Before you can reach that core, you must encounter hate, terror, murder. All these wars, all the chaos now–do you know what that is to my mind? Humanity is trying to get at its core, at its living, healthy core. But before it can be reached, humanity has to pass through this phase of murder, killing and destruction. What Freud called the destructive instinct is in the middle layer. A bull is mad and destructive when it is frustrated. Humanity is that way , too. That means that before you can get to the real thing–to love, to life, to rationality- you must pass through hell. This has very grave implications for social development. I don’t want to go into it now, but I wanted to explain why the psychoanalysts refused, unconsciously, to touch what I was working with. If I had fully known its consequences, I would have run myself. I don’t want to make myself better than the others, you understand. At that time, I would have run. I couldn’t run today. The bridges are burned behind me. Looking back, I understand it. It is very dangerous…”
This is the fundamental basis for principled psychotherapeutics. Talk Therapy as per the psychoanalytic society under Freud could not wholly withstand the charge of the force field as per Reich’s Character Analysis and Orgone Therapy. The watered down version of analysis still prevails today with it’s ineffectual results. Most traumas incurred and found at the biological core occurred at the pre-verbal stage of life. When Orgone Therapy is partnered with Therapeutic Medicine, also applied on the basis of law (homeopathic), in addition to Principled Regimen and typologies, we can take the sting out of the “very dangerous” nature of the “murderous” terror and rage that Reich refers to. Dismantling the character structure becomes orgonotically softened to the point of parasympathetic dominance allowing for orgastic potency as the force field is appropriately diffused.
