The Rediscovery of Living Functions in Organism, Nature and Economy:
The block and split of life-energy flow or money flow
as the deeper roots of crisis and destruction.
With emphasis upon solutions, by dissolving the blocks of flow,
as given in the works of:
Wilhelm Reich - Viktor Schauberger - Silvio Gesell - and others.
Instructor: Prof. Dr. Bernd Senf
Professor Senf has been teaching a seminars on Wilhelm Reich's Discoveries, and Life-Energy Research, at the Fachhochschule fur Wirtschaft, in Berlin, Germany for the last 22 years. He is well-known for his fascinating integration of the findings of diverse scientists from different disciplines, such as Reich, Schauberger, and Gesell, and is known throughout Germany for his penetrating insights into economic issues.
In this special seminar, offered for the first time in the USA, Prof. Senf presents a comparative and integrated review of Reich's discoveries on blocked versus flowing life energy in the organism, to Viktor Schauberger's findings on similar themes of dead versus living water in natural ecosystems, and from there to economic factors which create blocks or free flows of money. In all cases, the damming-up of the life-energy flow, the water flow, or the money flow, creates crisis: neurosis and sickness in human organism, environmental problems of overflooding and dying water in nature, and respectively economic crisis of depression or inflation. Please join us for what will certainly be a stimulating and lively weekend seminar, on subjects rarely discussed within either universities, or banks!
Bernd Senf has been a regular contributor of articles on the subject of Reich and life-energy, an experimenter in the field of orgone-acupuncture, and working participant in several desert-greening cloudbusting expeditions to Africa. He is author or co-author of several books in the German language, for example: Die Wiederentdeckung des Lebendigen (The Rediscovery of the Living), Der Nebel um das Geld (The Fog Surrounding Money), and the compendium Nach Reich: Neue Forschungen zur Orgonomie (After Reich: New Research in Orgonomy) with James DeMeo. He also was coeditor and an author of the Wilhelm Reich Journal Emotion
His latest book Die blinden Flecken der Oekonomie" (The Blind Spots in Economics) provides a refreshing and easy-to-understand critical review on different economic theories (Smith, Marx, Neoclassics, Gesell, Keynes, Friedman, Neoliberalism) and shows how these theories were linked with hidden interests - and how blind several of them have been in solving social problems. His discussion of the compound interest system as the cancer of social organism opens deep insights into the roots of several crisis symptoms of economy and society. He shows amazing analogies between the disturbed flow of money in economy and the disturbed flow of life energy in human organism and in living nature. A deeper understanding of the dysfunctions opens up insightful and illuminating perspectives for solving the problems - in people, in nature and society.
Special Note from James DeMeo (Director of OBRL): While some persons might consider any weekend seminar with the term "economy" in the title to be something rather boring and drab, where only accountants and large men wearing suits and ties might be in attendance, I can personally assure you, this has never been the case with Bernd Senf's lectures. In Germany the term "economics" has a broader connotation than as used in the USA, to include social and ecological considerations. In any case, Bernd's classes in Berlin have always been attended by students of all ages who were not "required" to take them, but did so because he is an exciting lecturer, who brings into discussion all the things that the other professors don't know about, or refuse to touch. For many years, he has continued to present the works of Reich, and other controversial social and natural scientists in his academic classes in Berlin, in spite of sometimes very heavy resistance and even attacks from other faculty who were unfriendly towards these subjects. This seminar will most definitely not be something designed to validate the hierarchical armored world view, but rather, to reform it towards something more humane and natural. For those of us interested in Reich, and similar scientific heretics, and who carry money in our pockets but have little understanding of how we are manipulated by those who print, distribute and hoard the "wealth of nations", this seminar will provide some clarifying answers, and exciting discussions.
