More From Wilhelm Reich

You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

But let there be no misunderstanding: it is not that a real man, the object of knowledge, philosophical reflection or technological intervention, has been substituted for the soul, the illusion of theologians. the man described for us, whom we are invited to free, is already in himself the effect of a subjection more profound than himself. a 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. the soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body.
Real Philosophical Exercise
Everywhere and always, since its very inception, christianity has turned the earth into a vale of tears; always it has made of life a weak, diseased thing, always it has instilled fear in man, turning him into a dual being, whose life energies are spent in the struggle between body and soul. in decrying the body as something evil, the flesh as the tempter to everything that is sinful, man has mutilated his being in the vain attempt to keep his soul pure, while his body rotted away from the injuries and tortures inflicted upon it.

That man can destroy life is just as miraculous a feat as that he can create it, for life is the miracle, the inexplicable. in the act of destruction, man sets himself above life; he transcends himself as a creature. thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate.

I'm very religious, you know. now, ok, if by 'religious', you mean that i go to church every sunday, read the bible faithfully, and i listen to debbie boone, umm, i'm not religious in that sense... but if by 'religious' you mean that i love others and try to help them whenever possible... again, no. but if by 'religious' you mean that i like to eat coleslaw... yeah, ok, ok!
Religious Mean Sunday
The fact that labour is external to the worker, i.e., it does not belong to his intrinsic nature; that in his work, therefore he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and his mind. the worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself.
