The Medical and Scientific Legacy of Wilhelm Reich: Proof of Concept

It took less than a decade to move from the first splitting of the atom to the explosion of an atomic bomb. It took only 66 years for aviation to advance from the Wright Brothers first flight of a heavier-than-air craft at Kitty Hawk to the first lunar landing. And in a few decades, Steve Jobs prototype computer memory board became the Smartphone.

How did this occur? It happened because the development of these first “proofs of concept” received the full support of society.

The published works of Wilhelm Reich, and the unpublished material in his archives, provide the “proof of concept” of his ground-breaking discoveries in biology, medicine, physics, astrophysics, meteorology, and engineering. But this legacy is unclaimed. Reich’s work is essentially in oblivion, known to but a few. It did not receive the full support of society and remains undeveloped.

Michael Mannion, author and co-founder of The Mindshift Institute, has been a student of Reich’s work, and has used orgone energy to his benefit in his life, for six decades. In this talk, he examines why Reich’s work has been ignored; how this knowledge can be shared effectively with a new generation; and presents the valuable knowledge that Reich has left us in a “proof of concept” stage, waiting to be developed to the great benefit of all. It is Mr Mannion’s belief that the legacy of Wilhelm Reich offers realistic hope that we can create a society that is just, peaceful and loving.
