" con·tem·pla·tion— that which is done in the temple. The body is a place many of us have not been for quite some time. We have forgotten our bodies. In our modern world, the sensitivity and immediacy of the body is treated like a nuisance. It is almost as if the body is always interrupting the head, with it’s plans and strategies. Then, in an act of desperation, we drown out the realization that we are seeking escape. Inbred thinking is the origin of our disembodied condition. At birth we are fully embodied. Language itself is not a problem. In our infancy, both as a species and as an individual, thought was simple and precise.
Through repetition, thought conforms to the governing dynamics of language. Everything is seen from the point of view of the subject, that is, the I or the head. When we think of a body, we generally think in terms of legs, eyes, a liver, so on-&-so forth. It is through the eyes that images arise. Touch The Earth.

Wilhelm Reich (/raɪx/; German: [ʀaɪç], 24 March 1897 – 3 November 1957) was an Austrian psychoanalyst, a member of the second generation of psychoanalysts after Sigmund Freud, and one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry.
He was the author of several influential books, most notably Character Analysis (1933) and The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933).[2] His work on character contributed to the development of Anna Freud's The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence (1936), and his idea of muscular armour – the expression of the personality in the way the body moves – shaped innovations such as body psychotherapy, Fritz Perls's Gestalt therapy, Alexander Lowen's bioenergetic analysis, and Arthur Janov's primal therapy. His writing influenced generations of intellectuals: during the 1968 student uprisings in Paris and Berlin, students scrawled his name on walls and threw copies of The Mass Psychology of Fascism at the police.[3] Early life[edit] Childhood[edit] Quote by Hafiz: STRANGE MIRACLE O Wondrous creatures, By what ...
