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.
