something that seems to fulfill all the requirement of sociality, goodness
and natural morality for which mankind has for ever clamored. It is
a very great thing and we follow it with respect, even awe and humility.
Oberleitner* has behaved badly recently, and we are disconnecting
him. Little Man stuff, on account, most probably, of the animosity to
orgonomy of his wife.
Also in other respects I am going through a terrific breakover in my
life. The work is now spreading rapidly all over the world in a very
good way, and I seem to be quite high up. My work is being taught in
many colleges and many references and papers appear at an increasing
rate. The world of pathology slowly vanishes beneath the horizon. I am
facing the task of giving up entirely all myoid type of writing and of
finding a new way of expression in words, as I did find one in colors.
With the Oranur experiment, in which Cosmic Orgone Energy licks
the malignant atomic energy, I seemed to have reached the limits of my
natural scientific possibilities. I do not quite know where I am going.
Many human relationships suffer from this tremendous change in my
development. I am glad I am moving, while so many remain sitting and
stuck.Summerhill School

My dear Reich,- I •
June I I, 195 IYours this morning. You say you don't know where you are
going, you lucky man. "Tis better to travel hopefully than to arrive."
(Stevenson) However there is a doubt in my mind ... Is Reich paint
ing and musicking because he has despaired of humanity (barring
Peter)?
It has been obvious for the last years that you were finished with the
pathological in life, from Peter's birth onwards. It seems to me that
the new art life is an expression of the back-to-health movement, per
haps an attempt to get back to Peter's stage and find out what you- Toni Oberleitner, a former teacher at Su mmerhill. He later spent some time
studying with Reich at the Orgone Institute in New York.
