Unravelling the Mystery of the Brain Orgasm & Character Change - Reichian Work & the Bio-Individual, pt 2
Chaps,
Firstly, let me apologise for the increasingly sensationalist titles. It is an unfortunate feature of the age we live in that things must be stripped down to their most retarded components to try and find a viewership.
Bioindividual episode 4 is now up. This is the second and final part of our series on Reichian bodywork.
This week we discuss the fabled “brain orgasm”, a termed coined by Israel Regardie as it is induced by Reichian bodywork. Kevin who had rather intense experiences speaks about the impact it had on him. I took the slower conservative path, and had experiences similar but not to this degree as I always slowed down when things got nuts - I think you’ll find his revelations very interesting.
We drill down further on, character and what it is in a Reichian psycho-analytic sense, how such experiences can change character. We also talk on the nature of character and how it can’t be known directly by the individual, but it can be inferred through physiological and analytic self-work.
We talk about how Reich probably appropriated his system form Eastern influences, and “marxified” it and “utopianised” it in his own peculiar “sex-positive” way.
This weekend I have an article on diaphragms dropping. Everyone’s talking about diaphragms, they’re so hot right now. The work flow for edits in the podcast is now established so i should have a little more time for writing, not a great deal, but a little more at least.
You should read it though, even if it sounds boring.
Finally, if you know anyone who is interested in editing services or film services let me know. I’ve recently started here locally to offer people small media projects, much of the media used in the youtube edits is in fact mine.
Finally, as i cement my new business and work on my online course, I recognise that much of what I offer here is in fact quite valuable for someone with sufficient IQ to reason it out. I’m thinking of monetising the elements that I’ve put a lot of work into. Let me know feedback if you’d be interested in me posting more consistent content and advice for a cup of coffee a month. I’m over the corporate world and in the process of exiting it permanently, during this transition, something like that would be handy. Or not. I leave that to you.
