Here it is again, I hope it doesn't show up later!!! If anybody has sent me mail in the last three days I don't think it made it.... I don't know if anybody has posted a message like this, but today I went in for my physical therapy and my therapist let me borrow a book by Wilhelm Reich called Character Analysis (third edition third printing 1980, orginally published in 1945. On the cover is a circle with a line under it that looks fairly simular to the new KT symbol. On the back they call it the symbol of orgonomic functionalism. It is a circle with a veritical line under it. The circle is simular as it is broken on the very top, but instead of on side curving under the other, each side is an arrow pointing to each other. THere is no horizonatal or diagonal "KT" lines, of course. The line underneith has another arrow where it touches the circle and has a small filled circle on the bottom. I, of course, have not read the book yet, but my physical therapist says its about "orgone biophysics", which particially encomposses the theary of life energy the Kate has touched apon. It also discusses the theary that emotional stress is caused partially by physical blockages and through physical therapy you can releave these blockages. My therapist used to practice this techinque. She has offered to try it on me, but I don't know... Interestingly, the physical therapy I am now doing is based partly on the idea that this part of Reich's ideas is WRONG. I haven't read the book on the therapy I am now doing, but it apparently starts off from some simular basis, but attacks the basic thery put forth in The Character Analysis book.
