reich on sloth

[lorentzen-nicklaus]

 "the armored organism does not feel any plasmatic current, in sharp contrast to 
 the unarmored organism. to the same degree to which the armoring is loosened, 
 sensations of current, which the armored organism first experiences as anxiety, 
 appear. once the armoring is completely dissolved, orgonotic currents are 
 experienced as pleasure. thereby all reactions are so basically changed that we 
 may speak of two entirely alien and essentially disparate biological 
 conditions. of course, this change does not occur in every instance, but where 
 it succeeds, it parallels fundamental changes of organ sensations; and with the 
 organ sensations, the entire 'view of life' changes rapidly and radically."
