"We do not try to convince him"

Submitted by esaruoho on August 20, 2008 - 22:17

In our thinking we have rid ourselves of the question of guilt. We blame nobody, but we remove barriers to our rational freedom of movement. If a rock on the road blocks my car, I do not declare that the rock is guilty but I get it out of the way; I do not destroy or condemn or imprison it, but simply move it aside. If the rock is too heavy, I drive around it. If there is no road by which I can drive around it, I take the trouble to build a piece of road. This takes time and effort but it is unavoidable. Under no circumstances do we accuse the rock.

There isn 't any energy crisis. It's simply a crisis of ignorance.

Most men can't accept the simplest, most obvious truth if it would mean admitting that they were wrong

Submitted by esaruoho on February 25, 2006 - 05:50

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.

The dependency on science and technology...

Submitted by cybe on December 20, 2005 - 11:00

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

MERLib supports

MERLib supports the Wilhelm Reich Museum / Wilhelm Reich Infant Trust through using GoodSearch / GoodShop to gather money for this non-profit-organization. In addition to running the physical museum, they are in charge of producing two full-length documentaries on Wilhelm Reich, are working on a book which will have the 1947-1957 letters, diaries and scientific studies of Wilhelm Reich, so we will better be able to comprehend the latter decade of Wilhelm Reich's life. A Biopic and a full-length documentary would be beneficial at clearing the name of Wilhelm Reich after the travesties of "W.R. - Mysteries of The Organism", and the scant footage available on Wilhelm Reich or his devices. If you know there is something to Wilhelm Reich's orgone discoveries, his orgone accumulator, orgone shooter, orgone blanket, and orgone cloud-busting devices, if you find that there should be more information on the atmospheric orgone motor, and the human orgone-energy running motor, conditioned vacuum-tubes which respond to orgone.. if you believe orgone plays a part in the nuclear energy and preservation of nature question, then please start using GoodSearch from now on and point all of your search-"income" to the "Wilhelm Reich Infant Trust Foundation". As of September 2008, 17$ has accumulated by a few persons using it. That is 0.01$ per search and use. If you use eBay via GoodSearch (GoodShop), a larger percentage will be donated to the trust. The Wilhelm Reich Museum are attempting to collect over 200,000$ for the singular production of two of these films, they also require time and funds for the research, translation and compilation purposes of the 1947-1957 followup to "American Odyssey", a previous Wilhelm Reich study compilation which featured his encounters at explaining Orgone energy to Albert Einstein. And also, they now require funding for a new roof.
