1939-05-23: Wilhelm Reich: What have I discovered?
I am utterly and horribly alone!
It will be quite an undertaking to carry on all the work in America. Essentially I am a great man, a rarity, as it were. I can't quite believe it myself, however, and that is why I struggle against playing the role of a great man. What have I discovered?
1. The function of the orgasm
2. Character armoring
3. The life formula
4. The bions
5. The electrical function of sexuality
6. Orgone radiation
7. The processes involved in cancer formation
8. The processes involved in rheumatism
9. The processes involved in schizophrenia, including the organic causes of neuroses
10. The sociology of sexual repression 11. The dynamics of fascism
12. The spinning-wave theory
A lot of fine work, and still I can't really enjoy it. I fear for my future!
