"The emotional plague’s existence depends on its remaining hidden from everyone’s awareness. "... "Because scientists looked at the function of the medical pathogens in its relation to the life of the host organism, whether or not they were destructive to…

The Emotional Plague: Preface
https://charleskonia.com/books/the-emotional-plague-preface/
[excerpt]
The world’s societies currently lack any real understanding of the underlying causes or management of the emotional plague’s destructiveness. Almost every social problem becomes politicized and mired in an ideological battle between the left and the right. The solutions, bound to be merely symptomatic, are to enact legislation designed to contain or eliminate the social problem’s superficial manifestations. Helpless cries of “There ought to be a law!” are common whenever a troublesome social problem arises. If the problem is big enough, social anxiety rises and public opinion pressures legislatures and politicians to “do something,” which usually means enacting some form of stopgap legislation. This typically results in the installation of a new layer of bureaucracy with ever-greater restriction of individual freedom and an intensification of social armor. This sequence of events illustrates the functions of armor, which are to reduce freedom of movement and the perception of anxiety. As a result, the underlying source of the social problem is not recognized, and the social symptom is exacerbated. A recent example is the recommendation of the Presidential Commission on the September 11 attacks to install a new cabinet-level national intelligence director and a new layer of bureaucracy to police the old layers. This recommendation overlooks and obfuscates the source of the intelligence problem, namely people’s characterological disturbances and political in- fighting that interfere with the work of intelligence personnel.

Wilhelm Reich in Journal of Orgonomy Character and Society https://www.orgonomy.org/articles/Science_Links/character_and_society.pdf Reprinted from the Journal of Orgonomy, Vol. 8 No. 2 Function of the Orgasm (Part II) https://www.orgonomy.org/articles/…
The orgasm function is in the most fundamental way biological in nature. It is a basic function of the living. Therefore it is of a deeper and wider rank than the realm of psychic functioning. The psychic forms part of the living, but the living is not part of or identical with the psychic. Hence, one can correctly judge the psychic realm from the standpoint of the living, but the living cannot be comprehended from the standpoint of the psychic alone. We can only correctly progress from the psychic to the living if we take as our starting point what the psychic has in common with the living, and not what distinguishes it from it. In concrete terms, it has been demonstrated by the discovery of cosmic energy, i.e., of the orgone, that it is possible to progress from the psychic affects via the physiological excitations to the biological cell lumination, and from here to biological cell energy, and from the cell energy to atmospheric orgone energy. But it is impossible to progress to atmospheric orgone energy from an obsessional idea, an hysterical rape fantasy, or a lust for money. There is no way which leads from the variation to the common functioning principle, unless it is via the functional identity of the variation and the basic function.
