einstein’s letter to Wilhelm Reich, from February 24th 1944, excusing himself for not being able, or capable, or “permitted”, to take ownership of the fact that he was a witness to the existence of the Orgone Living Power, to a public view, prompted the following answer from Wilhelm Reich, in which an insistence for clarification of the Facts, as Truth demanded, continued to keep pressing, not for a public exposure, as the first sentence of the letter makes clear, but for a personal understanding of that, as yet, “missing” factor, that so much troubled a Scientist that demonstrated the Existence of the Living Power of Life, to the most powerful entity on Earth, einstein, and who experienced how the same entity, einstein, refuted and denied the Existence of That Power, ratified by himself, only days later, by fraudulent means.

“Sehr geehrter Professor Einstein:
Ich habe Dr. Wolfe gebeten, die beabsichtigte Publikation der Resultate unserer Begegnung vorlaufig nicht vorzunehzen.”
Translation:
“Very dear Professor Einstein:
I have asked Dr. Wolfe not to advance the intended publication of the results of our meeting.
Any doubts the little scientist could have harboured, regarding a public knowledge of his awareness of the Existence of the Orgone Living Power, were thus, dispersed, in honouring and respecting his wish, as despicable and grotesque this act of self distancing from a Truth that could save a decaying world, was. For above all, the freedom of the individual, cannot be interfered with. Unfortunately, this particular individual’s wish, was that of evasion from the true facts, which is as much as saying: evasion from Reality, dragging the rest of a naive and weak human race, along the path of illusions, sickness, and decay.
Hence the struggle to understand the true motives behind this act of treason against humanity, by this acclaimed scientist, burnt Wilhelm Reich’s very soul, who, in the clarity and straightforwardness of Truth, attempted to “extract” from einstein, an answer, a hint, a clarification to his evasive behaviour, as confronted with the reality he himself witnessed, in his very own home, at Princeton, when the Existence of the Orgone Living Power, was demonstrated to him.

“Ich muss leider sagen, dass Ihr letztes Schreiben an mich von 24. Februar 1944 das Rätsel der Sache noch immer nicht loste.”
Translation:
“Unfortunately, I have to say that your last letter to me from 24. February 1944 still did not solve the mystery of the matter.”
“The mystery of the matter”, “Ratsel”, which true translation within this context must be translated as “Riddle”, of einstein’s behaviour, who, with every written word, directed to the Orgone Institute and Wilhelm Reich, in particular, only deepened the breach between the reality of the true facts he held within his mind, and I would like to venture and add, within his soul, as well, of having been a witness to the Existence of the Orgone, and the insistent fraudulent denial of this truth.
A “riddle” that was to be solved, 6 years later, with the public announcement of Leopold Infeld’s, the instigator of the fraudulent denial and refutation of the Orgone Living Power’s Existence, departure from Canada, back to communist Poland, were he intended to organise “an educational program” in cooperation with the Government. In fact, this was so much so, that he later became a “founding father” of the Nuclear Atomic research centre, led by Russia.
The news of this “entity’s” departure to communist Poland, reached Wilhelm Reich in 1952, and in heavily stroked handwritten text (this section of the affair will be dealt with in a different post), he finally understood the real and true motives, behind einstein’s puzzling behaviour: suppression and evasion of Truth, being replaced by illusions, half truths, and decay; all decided in advance by a big “club”, with him as a very “honorable” member. Wilhelm Reich and Truth, did not belong to the “club”, yet all that was decided within the walls of that sinister gathering of power entities, revolved around the suppression and nullifying of both Truth, and Its messenger.

“Es ist noch immer nicht begreiflich, weshalb Sie meinen so ernsten Brief von 20.Februar 1941 nicht beantworteten.”
Translation:
“It still not understandable, why you did not reply to my so earnest letter from the 20th of February of 1941.”
The letter in question is a 26 page scientific document, where the elaboration that refute and prove the interpretation of Leopold Infeld, as incorrect, and altogether, fraudulent, is exposed, in painful detail. This letter has been examined, studied and exposed in this blog, and anyone with common sense can confirm, that what this Real Scientist Proved to einstein, as a Reality, was, indeed, True: the refutation of the Existence of the Orgone Living Power, by Leopold Infeld and einstein, was based upon the fact that between floor and ceiling, there exists a certain amount of conductivity that equates to a temperature difference within that which is to be thermally measured, as placed indoors; Wilhelm Reich repeated the experiment that was presented to einstein and through which, an increase in temperature was registered, from no known source, above the Orgone accumulator, eliminating all possible scenarios that could add any degree of heat to the results of the experiment. He isolated the experimental field from the table to the ceiling, from the table to the floor, he conducted the experiment in a suspended Orgone accumulator, isolating all possible venues though which any conductivity resulting from the radiation from floor to ceiling, could take place, and, finally, the ultimate proof by which an undisputed temperature increase as a result of concentrated Orgone Radiation, was registered, not just by fractions of a degree, but by complete degrees, was obtained by replicating the experiment outdoors, under all possible weather conditions and scenarios, that discarded any “conductivity from floor to ceiling”: the results were even more pronounced that those obtained previously, indoors. That is: the Orgone Living Power, as harnessed and concentrated by means of the Orgone accumulator, radiated heat, which is as much as saying: a Mighty Living Power, was being made manifest, by means of Wilhelm Reich’s arrangement of materials, through a device that consisted in a “simple” box.
It might appear silly, crazy, even, that such a humble device, could harness a Power that Is the Same that makes the planet rotate, that shapes and ignites Life into being, that Heals and regenerates decay, and yet, the science behind this Discovery, was the result of a lifetime of systematic work, in the quest to know, and finally understand, that the same “Force” that moves an emotion, is the one that moves a star. The same “Force” being sought for, and investigated in reverence and devotion, made Itself be Known, and Discovered, to the one capable of reaching up to It, by means of a fully developed human capacity of intellect in consciousness, in accordance to the age, by means of a True Scientific mind, placed at the service of Life, by means of the courage, tenacity and self assurance found in Truth, of Wilhelm Reich. This, must be repeated again and again, for it is a fact, hidden from the world, suppressed, nullified, out of reach to average minds, yet awaiting in fervour for those who reach up to It: there exists in the atmosphere surrounding planet Earth, a Living Power called Orgone, by Its Discoverer: Wilhelm Reich, that Heals and ignites with evolutive impulses, Life on Earth. Wilhelm Reich demonstrated It to the most powerful scientist on Earth, einstein, so that he could develop the Healing properties of this Power, alongside himself, and place It at the service of the human race. Einstein confirmed Its existence at first, and then denied It, by fraudulent means, while, at the same time, promoted the use of nuclear power and the development of the atomic bomb. The project to develop the inception of the first atomic bomb was financed by the Rockefeller’s, to which one of its branches belonged Leopold Infeld, the one who instigated einstein to deny the Orgone.
It was a big club, at the service of decay. Wilhelm Reich knocked at their door assuming that such a powerful group of scientists would hold humanity’s interest as a matter of principle …… he was wrong; but Life Trusts, falls, and continues, enriched with each blow.

“Wenn Sie mir damals geschrieben hatten, dass Sie keine Zeit fur die Sache mehr haben (vas ich ja Übrigens selbst in meinen Schreiben an Sie als Möglichkeit hinstellte), dann hatte ich die Fragen der interessierten Welt wahrheitsgetreu beantworten können.“
Translation
“If you had written to me at the time that you no longer have time for the matter (by the way, I presented it myself in my letters to you as a possibility), then I had been able to answer the questions of the interested world truthfully.”
Truly, as with every single statement written and uttered by this Scientist, common sense here dictates that an unanswered letter where a crucial disputed fact, is proven correct by its discoverer, and subsequently solved, but that awaits a reply from the recipient of this letter, in order to be made Universally known to all, remains an unsolved issue. It is einstein’s behaviour in relation to the Existence of the Orgone Life Power, that remains, to this day, a riddle, in Universal terms, not the Existence of the Orgone Power. For in his powerful (incidentally, tiny, in a purely physical observation) hands, Universal knowledge of a Healing Power freely available to all, as developed by means of Wilhelm Reich’s techniques, laid.
Yet, though tiny, those hands projected a shadow large enough to cover a Truth as Mighty as the Sun, for in freedom, humans granted him the power to do so.
A few people, real scientists, professors, healed cancer patients by means of being treated with concentrated Orgone Power radiation, associates, and a few friends who lived and worked closely to Wilhelm Reich, and experienced and witnessed the Truth of the Existence of the Orgone Power, urged to know einstein’s attitude in relation to this Mighty Truth, as presented and confirmed as a Reality in front of his very face, by Its Discoverer. The answer to their pressing questions and doubts, had to be left in suspense and on hold, by Wilhelm Reich, for einstein instructed to him, under threat of legal actions, to dissociate his name and “brand” from any relationship to the name “Orgone”, even as he, himself, bore witness to Its Existence.
Transcript:
“Ich hatte auf jede Anfrage, ob Sie von der Entdeckung des Orgone wissen und was Sie das sagen, erklären können, dass Sie zu beschäftigt sind, un sich mit der Sache zu befassen.”
Translation:
“I would have been able to explain, on every request, whether you know about the discovery of the Orgone and what you can say, that you are too busy to deal with the matter.”
Above all, clarity and a conclusion/answer to a pending question, is required, for the normal development of an interaction to continue its natural path; the Existence of the Orgone Power is not in question, nor does it require for the most powerful entity in the world, to be Its Voice, but it is the same logic by which Life operates, where no vacuums are allowed to exist, that dictates and demands a conclusion and an answer, to a pending interrogation, raised by Its Voice; Life might have had no representative nor voice on Earth, but Its raging powerful Sound, is heard beyond the confines of a cell isolated and locked under a million doors of lies and deception, a cell called planet Earth, where Life will continue to demand to be heard, where Its Messengers will hold an ever more powerful Voice. For their Power streams from the same Source that moves the stars.
In analysing this last phrase from the letter, in its original German redacting straight from Wilhelm Reich’s hand, one can see that the word “Orgone” is capitalised, as when the text is translated, even redacted in English by the author, he, himself, the word is spelled in lowercase. The significance of language and of a direct transposing from its original redacting into one’s own contemporary accessible means of translation, must “rescue” always, and honor, the intended original meaning as initially written. This is vital, for Truth and Life are Spontaneous factors. Once the brain inserts its own reasoning moulding and shaping this spontaneity, an element of “dilution” is introduced. Wilhelm Reich might have redacted the word “Orgone” in lowercase when writing in the English language as to not be seen in his “passionate” side, towards the Discovery, in the face of his English speaking associates and friends, when communicating with them, but in German, in the language “in which” It was, Discovered, the Orgone Power is written with a capital “O”.
Language, in Itself, forms part of that which is described by it, and it is, in itself, an entity. Its importance must be honoured and revered, for by it, a reflection of who, and what, we are, is imprinted to become either eternal, or ephemeral.
“Die Nichtbeantwortung meines Schreibens hat nun die peinliche Situation geschaffen, die haute existiert. Ich persönlich wurde mich mit der Sache abfinden, da mir weder an offiziellen Bestätigungen meiner Funde noch an Publizität liegt.”
Translation:
“The non-response to my letter has now created the embarrassing situation that exists. I personally came to terms with the matter, as I don’t care about official confirmations of my findings or publicity.”
Furthermore, once it was made clear that no answer from einstein was to be expected, no further attempt to communicate with him was ever made, from The Orgone Institute, even as experiment after experiment confirmed in ever clearer ways, the Healing Quality Its Radiation holds, in all areas where decay could extend its tentacles to. But just as equally it was made clear to Wilhelm Reich and his associates, students and fellow scientists, that einstein refused to admit his witnessing of the Existence of the Orgone, publicly. Hence, after the initial shock of confronting this disturbing behaviour from the most acclaimed scientist of all times, Wilhelm Reich understood that interests other than those towards humanity’s advancement and healing, generated einstein’s motives, and work. After a safe distance allowed for a clear view of this realisation, the urgency was not recognition by einstein, of the Truth, but the protection and defence of Truth, from einstein.
Transcript:
“Ich stehe aber leider nicht allein in Lichte der Öffentlichkeit; eine Reihe verantwortlicher und hervorragender wissenschaftlicher Mit Arbeiter haben von Standpunkt ihrer Facharbeit an der Entdeckung des Orgone brennendes Interesse.”
Translation:
“Unfortunately, however, I am not alone in the light of the public; a number of responsible and outstanding scientific workers have a burning interest in the discovery of the Orgone from the point of view of their specialist work.”
In whichever way the pressing genuine questions from fellow scientists, were to be answered, in regards to einstein’s opinion and behaviour regarding the Discovery, other than what common sense dictated, that is, cooperation from him and his powerful “brand” in the development and Universal application of the Orgone Power radiation, upon his knowledge and witnessing of Its Existence, there were to be further questions generated, by those who bore witness to the unequivocal Healing Power that the Orgone yielded, as applied in concentrated radiation, further doubts and perplexity, upon the shadowy character of einstein, in regards to the Discovery.
Many would have learned, at that time, who the real masters of this planet, are, the real meaning behind the wars, the insidious opacity, trying to conceal the Truth …. and as this knowledge unfolded, many would have retreated back to the comfort of accepted half truths, unable to sustain the constant struggle the soul is to endure, standing firm by Truth, in completeness.

“Sie sind nicht in demselben Masse bereit Rücksicht zu Oben, wie ich. So finde ich mich in Konflikt zwischen der Rücksicht auf Ihren Wunsch, das Material unserer Begegnung diskret zu behandeln, und der anderen Rücksicht, die Existenz einer universellen kosmischen Energie, von mir Orgon genannt, zur Aberkennung zu bringen.”
Translation:
“They are not willing to be as considerate as I am. So I find myself in conflict between the consideration of your desire to treat the material of our encounter discreetly and the other consideration of bringing the existence of a universal cosmic energy, called Orgon by me, to revocation.”
The personal character of the letter sent by einstein to Wilhelm Reich was met with an equally personal tainted message; a continuous attempt to try to make the most powerful scientist on Earth, understand, not in a professional nor public terms, for this side of the interaction was already accepted, in all its twisted, malefic and downright nefarious meaning, by Wilhelm Reich, as a fate that was to be endured by the Truth of the Existence of the Orgone Living Power, in the eyes of the powers that rule the World, but in purely human terms, from man to man, from human to human, if there was, indeed, that “aspect” at all, to einstein: “how is it possible, as a human being, that you are denying Universal knowledge of a Power, capable of Healing and advancing the human race, that is freely accessible to all, by the methods I have developed and have demonstrated to you?”, how is it possible, that, furthermore, you ask me to hide and suppress your knowledge of It, to my circle of fellow scientists and work colleagues and students?” …….
If we add to this drama, the fact that this affair took place in the midst of the inception and development of the first atomic bomb, by instigation of einstein, hopefully the correct comprehension of the Reality laying suppressed and hidden behind ever denser and darker layers of decay, begins to shine through ….
Transcript:
“Ich ging in Jahre 1941 zu Ihnen, eben aus den Grunde, weil ich wuerte, dass is eine grundsatzlische kosmische Energieform entdeckt hatte, die, wie ich ihnen schrieb, von elektromagnetischen Energie verschieden ist. Ich ahnte schon damals und bin seither in der Annahme besturkt worden, dass die von mir entdeckte kosmische Energie (das “Orgon”), das von Ihrer Theorie mathematisch geforderte “Gravitaticasfeld” bestatigt. Ja mehr, dass diese Energie die Riesenlucke auszufullen gesignet ist, die fruher durch die Hypothese eines universellen Athers in unzureichender Weise ausgefullt wurde. Hier verfuge ich Uber eine Reihe handfester Tatsachen.”
Translation:
“I went to you in 1941 precisely because I knew that I had discovered a fundamental form of cosmic energy which, as I wrote to you, was distinct from electromagnetic energy. I suspected then and since then I have been encouraged to assume that the cosmic energy I discovered (the “Orgone”) confirms the “gravitational field” mathematically required by your theory. Indeed, this energy is destined to fill the gigantic gap previously insufficiently filled by the hypothesis of a universal ether. Here I have a number of solid facts.”
One of the Orgone Life Power’s “physical” character is that of being antithetical to the laws that define gravity. While It encompasses both the centripetal and centrifugal forces that maintains the planet in motion around the Sun, being, as It is, That Which permeates and encompasses “everything”, the main “characteristic” of the Orgone Life Power, is that of Evolution, that is: Evolutive Impulses are imbued within that Which is under Its Influence. It is quite a challenge to try to describe in purely coarse materialistic terms, That Which Is indescribable by means of physical tools, no matter how elevated the use of language, can be exercised to, one can only give an approximation of It by describing Its effects of that which falls under Its Influence, which are, quite concretely: healing in evolution; not only decay is removed and Life restored, but a new element is introduced to that which has been healed: an element of “immunisation”, in power. Hence, Life, is granted an eternal value, by continuously being empowered, after being “attacked” by the necessary forces that ensure continuation in existence, for nothing of eternal value ever rests. To be able to understand what is meant here, a complete immersion in the Work of Wilhelm Reich, from the Bions to ORUR, in devotion and reverence, is required. This is so because it is oneself’s Essence, one comes to Know, “restoring” an otherwise regressive zombified into stupidity, human experience, into its rightful status of “one with the Gods”…..
And so, Wilhelm Reich writes these last lines to einstein, asserting, once more, in humble conviction, his reiteration of the Discovery. A mystical approach to That Which fills all space, so far described in nebulous “etheric” terms, affirmed Itself in concrete clear scientific terms: Its Name is Orgone, Its Character holds Evolutive and Healing Power, Its physical manifestations can be proven visually, thermally and by means of the electroscope. The “Ether”of the Gods, “descended” as the “Orgone” Living Power, revealing its Healing and Evolutive Character, to both Scientist, and fraudster.

“Diesen Tatbestand muss ich, wie die Sache nun einmal liegt, dokumentarisch gesthalten. Ich kann vorläufig nichts anderes tun als warten, bis es mir gelingt, Ihr Verhalten zu begreifen.”
Translation:
“I have to keep this fact documented, as the matter is. For the time being, I can do nothing but wait until I succeed in understanding your behavior.”
The translation into English of this letter, as recorded and filed within the Orgone Institute’s Archives, was originally conducted by Ilse Ollendorf, and it is, yet once again, not an accurate nor faithful translation of what should reflect an exact transposition from the German, into the English language, word by word, as originally redacted by Wilhelm Reich. This is so due to the enormous importance of the subject in question, Which, by means of a refined and superior capability to perceive an unseen Reality, found Its voice in Its Discoverer, announcing Its Presence and Existence like a ray of light to a world of darkness.
The translation in question is part of the document, and as such, I include a screenshot below; to go into all the inaccuracies and mistranslations would take too long, but it is worth to go through the document and analyse it, and raise the question as per why, a correct translation, was not conducted, on a large number of documents, redacted in original German, by Wilhelm Reich:
An example of how inaccuracy and incorrectness infiltrated itself, as a silent deadly disease, for it is a disease imposed in a pure and vibrant original message, within all translated texts, can be seen in this letter’s translation by Ilse, whom Wilhelm Reich trusted as his personal secretary and was to be his wife (thus saving her from deportation back to nazi Germany): last sentence of first paragraph:
“Thus, I find myself in a conflict between the consideration with regard to your wish to keep the material of our meeting discrete, and the other consideration, to have the existence of a universal cosmic energy, which I called orgone, generally accepted.”
Original (underline mine):
“So finde ich mich in Konflikt zwischen der Rücksicht auf Ihren Wunsch, das Material unserer Begegnung diskret zu behandeln, und der anderen Rücksicht, die Existenz einer universellen kosmischen Energie, von mir Orgon genannt, zur Aberkennung zu bringen.”
The word “Aberkennung” translates as “revocation”:
Hence, we read, as faithfully translated directly from Wilhelm Reich’s original written words:
“So I find myself in conflict between the consideration of your desire to treat the material of our encounter discreetly and the other consideration of bringing the existence of a universal cosmic energy, called Orgon by me, to revocation.”
Revocation: that is, Wilhelm Reich here wants to make einstein understand how much of a struggle, in purely human terms, was for him, to have to respect his wish to conceal the fact of his awareness of the existence of the Orgone Power, and the revocation, the nullifying of this fact to the public, hence, leaving humanity in the darkness, for it would have only taken a few sentences, in one of the major publications or newspapers of the day, declaring einstein’s knowledge and confirmation of a Universal Power, called Orgone by Its Discoverer, to turn the course of history around.
Beyond the poor style reflected in the text itself, the inaccuracies, the incorrectness, and all the details that reveal the poor character of what should have been a task to be performed in as much exactitude as possible, one is confronted with the tragic conclusion, that the translation in question, as with all of them, was signed by Wilhelm Reich himself, hence telling us, the degree of trust he exercised over those who surrounded him, who, in all their human capacities, might have tried, but could not measure up, by far, to the man, the employer, the scientist, the husband, the father, the friend, the associate, the fellow scientist, the Discoverer. Not a single one of them.
These words are not written out of an irrational “passionate” declaration in favour of a scientist that was considered a “crackpot”, but a firm defence and exposition of the reality within which, the Scientist that Discovered the Power that makes us Human, with a capital “H” and what this entitles, had to co exist, struggle and survive, remaining in “one piece”, not just in sanity and capabilities, but in increased strength, with every blow, with every rejection, with every betrayal, in persecution and harassment, to this very day.
For the Power he Discovered, Represented, and hence, acted through, is the same Power that “sets” the Universe, in eternal motion.
From the very same warrior’s soul who made possible for the world to know, the reality her father’s Work and Discovery was confronted with, Eva Reich, to the last of the associates whom he trusted, yet betrayed him, each one of them plays a necessary part in the continuation and preserving of a recorded history of the Discovery of a Universal Power, named Orgone, Knowledge and Understanding of Which, is crucial for the evolution of the Earth.

“Ich habe nicht behauptet, dass Sie die nachteiligen Geruchte über meine Arbeit in Umlauf gesetzt hatten; ich habe nur behauptet, dass Feinde der Orgonforschung Ihre Autorität in gemeiner Weise missbrauchen.”
Translation:
“I didn’t claim that you started the unfavorable rumors about my work; I was only suggesting that enemies of orgone research are viciously abusing your authority.”
The letter finishes with a clarification of the facts, to the most powerful scientist and voice in the world, who, in all his glory and worldly fame, carried the darkest of shadows over his soul.
This letter, filed as Document E-32 of “The Einstein Affair”, although translated with views of making its content more universally available in the future, was never sent; a reflection of the struggle taking place in Wilhelm Reich’s heart and soul, on whether to let the one who held the furthering of human evolution, or the decay of it, in his hands, know these words, or to maintain a safe distance from a “celebrity”, whose actions proved to be in opposition to honour, to Truth, even to the professionalism that his job as a “scientist”, should entitle.
Not sent to einstein, but to the rest of us, we bear witness of the reality surrounding the struggle endured by the voice of Truth and Life, to project the Light, into a World led into darkness.
