Part 5/10:
Wilhelm Reich's work extended from psychotherapy into broader scientific realms, where he postulated the existence of orgone energy—an essential life force. This energy is depicted as comparable to concepts like Chi in Eastern philosophies. Reich's deviations from Freudian thought led him to explore the physical manifestations of psychological phenomena, seeking a tangible connection between emotional states and physical health.
Reich's research encompassed various domains, ultimately leading him to propose that this energy could be harnessed and utilized for therapeutic purposes. His views on biophysics, biomes, and the interconnectedness of life paved the way for continued investigation into the nature of energy, consciousness, and health.
