True Happiness: It's All in Your Mind

True Happiness: It’s All in Your Mind. All of us would like to achieve happiness, yet oftentimes we lose sight of the power of inner happiness. “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” ― Marcus Aurelius True happiness originates within ourselves rather than in the world around us. Contrary to what many may think, true happiness isn’t…

on the famous fda injunction against him

On 10 February 1954, after seven years of investigation, the Food and Drug Administration finally served Reich with a twenty-seven-page complaint, containing a proposed injunction against the inter-state shipment of accumulators. The essence of the Complaint was that the orgone accumulator did not work—could not work, since orgone energy did not exist. It cited various publications by Reich to show that he believed the accumulator could cure cancer, but made no mention of the various qualifying clauses Reich himself had added in The Cancer Biopathy.

Dr Charles Kelley, in an article on ‘The Life and Death of Wilhelm Reich’, has described the Complaint as ‘so vicious, so false, so twisted and sick, that it was difficult to believe it could ever be taken seriously in court’. But a study of the actual Complaint (reprinted in full in Jerome Greenfield’s Wilhelm Reich versus the USA) hardly justifies that description. Taking into account the basic attitude of the FDA—that Reich was a crank—it is, on the whole, a fair and balanced document. Moreover, if the FDA believed that there was no such thing as orgone energy—and that therefore the accumulators were worthless—then they had no alternative than to try to prevent their use; for patients who relied on them rather than on proper medical attention were placing their lives at risk.

Reich should have been rational enough to see this, and to concede that in future the accumulators would not be shipped across state lines. Instead, he made his most appalling mistake so far—possibly the greatest single mistake of his life. Instead of appearing in court to try to try to explain his position, he wrote the court a rambling, four-page ‘Response’, quibbling about whether the FDA was the ‘US Government’, quoting Abraham Lincoln on freedom, and talking about ‘conspirators whose aim is to destroy human happiness and self government’. Reich’s main argument was that the court was trying to interfere with the course of scientific investigation; therefore, he said, he did not intend to appear.

Reich was missing the point. The FDA was not trying to interfere with his research; only with the sale of what they considered to be a quack remedy across state lines to finance that research. But the whole tone of the Response was bound to irritate even the most open-minded judge. Its last sentence: ‘ ... I submit that the case against orgonomy be taken out of court completely’, sounded like a challenge. The judge took the view that the Response was a ‘crank letter’, and the FDA seized the opportunity that Reich had offered on a plate by demanding a default injunction against him, which Judge Clifford promptly granted.

In retrospect, it is almost impossible to understand what made Reich play into the hands of his opponents. For this was not simply a question of being forbidden to ship accumulators across state lines. The sting of the Complaint was contained in its penultimate paragraph: a plea that Reich be forbidden to do ‘any act whether oral, written or otherwise’ to promote the sale of the accumulators. But the Complaint lists a dozen or so of Reich��s publications which could be regarded as ‘promotion material’. It included The Function of the Orgasm, The Cancer Biopathy and most of the later books, including The Murder of Christ. In effect, the FDA was asking that all these works should not be sold outside the state of Maine. And here Reich was on very firm ground indeed. The most incompetent lawyer in America would have pointed out that this was a violation of the right of freedom of speech, and that the suppression of books—except on grounds of obscenity—ran counter to the whole spirit of the American Constitution. No court would have granted such an injunction under normal circumstances, and the FDA probably took it for granted that the judge would refuse to ban Reich’s books. By writing the court a defiant ‘crank letter’, Reich took the only possible step that could have led to the suppression of some of his most important works.

The question of Reich’s motives will probably never be clear. The most obvious explanation is that his persecution mania had reached a point where he believed that the banning of his books was as likely as the banning of the accumulator. But surely any lawyer—or for that matter, any intelligent American citizen—could have told him he had a powerful case? Here the answer could be that Reich’s followers were deserting him in droves—and that those who were left accepted whatever Reich said or did without question.

There remains one other hypothesis that seems to me plausible. As long ago as 1920, Reich had identified himself with Peer Gynt: ‘It is the story of an individual who ... gets out of step with the marching column of the human herd. He is not understood. They laugh at him when he is weak; they try to destroy him when he is strong.’ Reich had written his own scenario, and the thread of ‘outsiderism’ runs throughout his life. He almost gives the impression of being determined to be misunderstood and rejected; to be understood and accepted would embarrass him. And the later identification with Christ suggests that, unconsciously at least, he wants to be crucified. The root of the urge could lie in his sense of guilt about being responsible for his mother’s suicide; but this ‘Freudian’ explanation could be too glib. It seems just as simple to say that his belief in his own genius was linked with a romantic conviction—based on self-pity—that greatness invites martyrdom. For what would Reich have done with success and world acclaim? It is impossible to imagine that haunted, suspicious face relaxing into a smile of reconciliation. If Reich had been given the Nobel Prize. his acceptance speech would have been a torrent of reproach and scorn. His unconscious mind was geared to the idea of persecution and martyrdom.

MUST LISTEN: Although @makyalittle gave this powerful speech and plea long before the current sweep of book bans and the rewriting history about black history (a book on Rosa Parks has been banned from schools) along with LGBTQ+ books (Fun Home, The Perks of Being a Wallflower), this hit me more than anything I’ve seen. Most parents reading this post will never experience first hand what Makya Little had to deal with that day…

It never occurred to me what it must be like to be a black parent and have your child come home and read their own history with such false narrative based on policy. Policy?!

After speaking with Thomas who’s been in education for 21 years and discovering this quote by Jennifer Rainey Marquez, this helped me understand how some of this banning and rewriting started with policy makers threatening to cancel contracts and putting publishers out of business:

After the Civil War, when public schooling became more widespread in the South, Confederate sympathizers wanted to ensure that their children received an “appropriate” education on Southern history and culture which developed statewide adoption policies for textbooks. This allowed the state textbook committees to control content by demanding changes or threatening to cancel book contracts unless the publishers agreed.

To keep their business, Northern publishers began adapting history books to appease Southerners, essentially publishing a separate version of Civil War history for those states. These editions reinforced a lost cause narrative for Southern audiences. For example, they depicted enslaved people as happy and content. Officials even counted the textbook lines to make sure authors had mentioned Jefferson Davis or Robert E. Lee as many times as Abraham Lincoln or Ulysses S. Grant. - Jennifer Rainey Marquez.

And imagine now happening all over again in 2023.

George Bernard Shaw The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts. C.S. Lewis Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. C.S.

Antonio Gramsci In most men, intelligence is a field which remains uncultivated for most of life. Eugène Delacroix Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is. Albert Camus Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller

Karl Marx Wise men speak when they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something. Aristotle What moves those of genius, what inspires their work is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough. Eugene Delacroix Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller An honest man is always a child. Socrates Open your mind before your mouth. Aristophanes Neither Christ nor Buddha nor Socrates wrote a book, for to do so is to exchange life for a logical process. William B. Yeats Why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice. Marcus Aurelius Love is the state in which man sees things most decidedly as they are not. Friedrich Nietzsche Only during hard times do people come to understand how difficult it is to be master of their feelings and thoughts. Anton Chekhov Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility. Sigmund Freud I no longer know if I wish to drown myself in love, wodka or the sea. Franz Kafka The first thing that reading teaches us is how to be alone. Jonathan Franzen There is no greatness where simplicity, goodness and truth are absent. Leo Tolstoy Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways. Sigmund Freud The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man. Charles Darwin Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterward. Oscar Wilde The most common form of despair is not being who you are. Soren Kierkegaard Each of us assumes everyone else knows what he is doing. They all assume we know what we are doing. We don’t. Philip K Dick Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late. Benjamin Franklin Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at. Goethe

100 magnificent quotes to read He who knows all the answers has not been asked all the questions. Confucius Gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger than rock, love is stronger than force. Herman Hesse Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life. Bob Marley Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known. I am inclined to say that it is the only real mode of individualism that the world has known. Oscar Wilde Everyday is like a fashion show and the whole world is the runway. Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside. Coco Chanel There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness. Friedrich Nietzsche Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat. Harry Emerson Fosdick If you wish another to keep your secret, first keep it to yourself. Seneca the Younger When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them. Confucius It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone... but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Kahlil Gibran He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at. Epictetus L'amore è l'arte che non si impara mai e che si sa sempre. Benito Pérez Galdós The more we value things outside our control, the less control we have. Marcus Aurelius The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others. Vincent Van Gogh The greatest victory is that which requires no battle. Sun Tzu Facts or opinions which are to pass through the hands of so many, to be misconceived by folly in one, and ignorance in another, can hardly have much truth left. Jane Austen Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Epicurus People may spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is leaning against the wrong wall. Thomas Merton For we are all divorced from life, we are all cripples, every one of us, more or less. We are so divorced from it that we feel at once a sort of loathing for real life, and so cannot bear to be reminded of it.

I have worked in EMS for 10 years and nothing shocked me as much as this patient I had recently. Without disclosing too much information the background is myself along with other paramedics, doctors and nurses were responsible for emergency care during a very large Rave/EDM festival. This festival has been going on for many years and over the years has gone from having a basic first aid tent to a full blown 80 bed ER thats considered the busiest and most efficient ER in the country - complete with doctors, nurses and a CT machine that is set up and taken down 3 days every year. This festival is unfortunately known for overdose deaths but every year we work to make that number as low as possible.

Night 2 of this festival, we had two men stumble into our tent carrying another male. They put him on a cot and immediately we could see he was super sick. His respiratory rate was 4x min and oxygen level 77%. Heart rate of 180 that we watched drop as low as 40–50 and a temperature above 105. The friends told us that he had been drinking, took shrooms earlier, then within the last two hours consumed and unknown amount of Ecstasy, GHB, acid, Molly, and possibly cocaine. I swear this guy must’ve had a death wish for combining all of that together. All of the providers in our tent agreed that he needed to go to the “pop-up ER” ASAP.

I often referred to this event as Battlefield medicine because you will see and do things that would never fly in a regular hospital or prehospital setting. We load the patient into an off-road vehicle that had been modified with a flatbed to put patients. In this particular incident we really didn’t think he was going to make it to the other medical tent before going into cardiac arrest. One of us held the patient on the back of this flat bed ATV while holding a bag valve mask to supplement the patient’s oxygenation. The other was ventilating the patient while standing over them and manually feeling for a pulse in case the patient went into Cardiac arrest we could start chest compressions.

When we arrived to the makeshift ER the entire team of doctors nurses and paramedics worked like a perfectly rehearsed team with everyone in their place. It was amazing to witness the calm urgency as everyone seamlessly worked together to help this patient. The doctor made the decision to sedate, and intubate the patient and put them on a ventilator and then “dunk” them into a tub of ice water. The purpose of this is to bring down the core body temperature and induce hypothermia in an effort to prevent neurological deficits. I had a patient from this festival years prior with almost the exact same etiology who unfortunately did not survive so I was having a hard time remaining optimistic about this patient. Before we could move the patient to the ice bath, the patient goes into cardiac arrest. We start CPR and Do one round before we get pulses back. We move the patient and induce hypothermia then sent him to an outside emergency room where he could be admitted and stabilized.

I went home that night feeling a little defeated because none of us thought this patient would have a good outcome. At the bare minimum we assumed he would have lifelong neurological deficits. It’s always hard to participate in events like this where you know everyone is coming for a fun and memorable experience yet some are not going to make it home because of something preventable! The third night of the festival, I approached the lead ER doctor from the night before and asked if he heard how our patient was doing. I was shocked when he told me the patient is being extubated, taken off of life supporting measures, lab work and vital signs were good and he had minimal to no permanent neurological deficits. I was shocked happy proud and amazed that someone so close to death lives to see another day because of the incredible team and innovative medicine we’ve been able to bring to this event.

it’s not very often that you see this kind of miraculous recovery when you work in emergency medicine. There’s a very thin line separating someone from life and death and we don’t get to walk that line very often, but when we do it makes all the stress, heartache, exhaustion, frustration all worth it.

I will end with my favorite quote from Abraham Lincoln which states - “Next to creating life the finest thing a man can do I save one. “
