Bro yes, I would buy a book on this and continue buying it to spread it around like golden tablets. What a pleasure this was.
I was thinking you should write a book about this before you mentioned it. Would definitely read it.
This was a beautiful episode. Chiming in on the book question: absolutely interested.
great conference, thanks for sharing it
This is good work, thank you. You really found your voice here.
something I grapple with at times, enjoying (reading, studying) philosophy, is that someone like Reich, who dedicated their life project to the nurture and healing of life, is that the act of "sitting and reading philosophy" is sometimes taking me very out of my body, and "intellectualizing" that sort of bio-energetic philosophy that should be implemented, lived, channeled into the real work with the hands in healing soil and body. the texts that liberated my mentality from the mysticism and/or "rationalization" of life then occupy my mind as my body lies dormant.
my solution then lies in innovating/implementing new working models of education, work, and leisure that affirm and ignite bioenergetic flow/release. Reich lived his vision, he was "head in philosophy-science (they are not separate in the self-regulated body-mind!) , hands on practice in both healing of body and economy (work democracy)." A lived philosophy and an implemented science.
Would love this book
Incredible. Thank you!
Fantastic James, thanks.🙏
im gonna have to listen to this a few times! great stuff
Thank you! 🙂
This was an excellent video. I would be interested in a book on these topics!
I'm forty minutes in. So far it sounds like a call to what Erich Neumann called "uroboric incest".
Listening from within my orgone box - toes curled!
I would pay top$ for a book man, go for it!
Great talk. I’d love more on this subject. I’d be curious how your Steiner guests would respond to the idea of a philosophy of bioenergy. I bet there are some threads there that weave with the three thinkers in this piece.
@Hermitix, I don't know if you read these comments after so long, however, if you haven't done so already, I would recommend you read Owen Barfield in regards to this. The development of the ego that sees itself as separate was sort of a necessary step, vis-a-vis the non-differentiated ego. Of course, that can and should evolve into the ego seeing itself as one polarity in the plenum as Klages suggest. It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine, but I get a little annoyed when I hear people describe this as a "Western" thing. Dualism exists, for example, in certain schools of Hindu philosophy. Obviously Descartes crystalized this dualism into a formula, but I would suggest that it existed well before him, going back into the hellensistic world. "As above, so below" might sound non-dualistic, but it isn't. It's also worthwhile to consider what James Hillman has to say about spirit as an escape from soul. Anyway, thank you for your thoughtful videos. I haven't read Klages, but intend to at least read Paul Bishop on him. How do you get around not favouring an authority over your own experience? Perhaps very unintentionally, Peat serves as such an authority and many people follow his advice blindly, sometimes to their detriment.
Thank you for this. One thing I would mention that Seele in German is pronounced S-eh-l-eh.
What Was this Jack Wallace book again?
Reichian Therapy - Jack Willis
I have Klages Cosmogonic Eros and it's the best - dude should be way more well known esp in english circles
👏
Grab a coffee or an orange juice - nice 😁
You can put my name down for an early copy of the book.
Forgive me for commenting even though I did not watch the video. I don't know the other two men, but I listened to a lot of Ray Peat for some time about a year ago. Some of the things he says are definitely sensible, but retrospectively, I find the entire bioenergetic philosophy rather implausible. For example, Ray says that a fast resting heart rate is good, as a sign for a good metabolism. But when you look into nature, is it not precisely the animals with a quick metabolism and quick heart rate that die earlier? Turtles get much older than rabbits, mice and so on - it is not an accident that there are folk tales of the former being persevering, while the latter are quick to use up their energy. As much as I used to like the idea behind the bioenergetic approach, I have yet to see convincing evidence that it is actually better to have a high metabolism, resting heart rate etc.
If that is the extent of your objection you should continue reading. It's a thought many have had and has been addressed.
Also correction; the description of Reich's accumulators as masturbation boxes wasn't wholly incorrect
Actually that's not really correct re. acculmulators. They're not a sexual aid.
Haven’t listened yet but this is a triadic angle I’ve thought about a lot 👍
