Items are listed in the order they are received Date: Mon, 06 Jan 1997 11:56:31 -0500 I am not particularly well versed in orgonomy or physics but I am fermiliar with the basic supposed properties of an orgone accumulator and the basic assumptions of quantum mechanics. I am chiefly interested in the assertion that an orgone accumulator does not tend to get lose heat but collects ,as it were, heat ( I understand heat is only the manifestation of orgone energy, just one that we can easily detect) from its surroundings in the form of orgone energy. This phenomenon is in direct conflict with the first law of thermodynamics and that if it is an authentic phenomenon as you folks at Pore assert then as Einstien said "It would represent a boon in physics" (he said something like that). Anyway considering that all of modern particle physics has this first assumption of thermodynamics as its cornerstone and particle physics has offered us the best(most accurate) method of preticting and explaining (to some extent) natural phenomenon in the history of modern science. How is it that there is no discussion of what I see as the most pressing issue raised by orgonomy if you are serios about getting taking seriosly by the scientific community, start discussing serios scientific issues. |

Subject: healing with orgone (please respond)
To whom it may concern, I am, without a doubt, a believer in the existence of Orgone energy. I have read Dr. Reich's book The Oranur Experiment and my grandfather once had the opportunity to meet Dr. Reich and see his laboratory. I also believe that Orgone has the ability to heal people (or help them heal themselves). I believe this not only from what I know of Dr. Reich's theories, but I also practice martial arts and have been exposed to the ideas of Chi (or Ki). People have used Chi to heal for centuries and I believe Chi and Orgone to be the same thing (same energy).
I read the article (on the web) about building an orgone pillow. What healing effects could be expected from using one (I understand this is very general and could be difficult to answer)? Also, my grandparents have a cat who has been diagnosed with FIP (a disease similar to AIDS). Would you reccomend allowing the cat to lay on the pillow? Might it help, or would it be unwise? Please respond, the cat isn't even a year old, but its days are growing short. The vet. is not optimistic about its future. Thank you for any help you could offer.
Sincerely, Kevin (i prefer not to use my whole name online)

Would orgone energy increase brain activity/function? If so, how and are
there any documented cases? and can they be contacted?

Hi I don't know alot about the accumulator but my doctor, a psychiatrist,
has one. I am into Orgone Therapy for the past three and a half years.
It's the best thing I ever have done.

I recently read "The Cancer Biopathy" by Wilhelm Reich, and
it raised some questions. Does anybody have plans for a better orgone meter,
now that we have transistors instead of '50's vacuum tubes? Also, has anybody
bothered to use this meter to determine exactly which materials, thickness
and number of layers and overall accumulator dimensions provide the strongest
concentration of orgone? Has anybody tried putting a bion pack or other
highly charged substance in an accumulator? Finally, did he ever build
the motor that runs of an orgone accumulator? The information I'm asking
for would be helpful in an attempt to build a powerful accumulator as efficiently
as possible, if the orgone theory is right. I think it would be possible
to do the T-To experiment that Reich did with a stronger accumulator and
get a temperature differential large enough that nobody could say that
it was heat convection or error in measurement. Has anybody tried to maximize
T-To by using a more powerful accumulator or extra source of orgone? It
seems surprising to me that I haven't come across any of this information
in my reading so far, and that, to my knowledge, little attempt has been
made to quantify this stuff.
Thanks.

Hi, I would like to join the forum..
We have an Orgone accumulator pyramid that is free to whomever wants to haul it away. It needs some work to clean it up and minor repairs. I t can be disassembled but it is large. Each of the 4 triangles is about 7 feet (2+ m.) on a side, and they are heavy. It would be a shame if this one ended up on the dump, which we will be forced to do in 2 weeks. I .think from what I know of the price of accumulators, this one would be worth shipping a long way.
I am located in Orinda, CA (near Berkeley in the San Fran. Bay area).

ORAC Forum:
I don't know how widespread this information is, but Wilhelm Reich did give some cautions about using OR. Presumably, after doing intensive experiments with OR, Mr Reich woke the next morning with a case of nausea, headache, and anemia. He also mentioned that some people who have had an overdose of OR show similar symptoms of leukemia (of course, there has been no documentation of anyone actually *getting* leukemia from an overdose of OR). However, he also mentioned that after the overdose wore off, his eyesight was considerably clearer.
I wish I had all my references here in Seattle instead of back in Maine...
Anyways, I would suggest some discussion on side effects of too much orgone energy. I have myself suffered mild symptoms from an overdose after playing around with an accumulator too long.

Subject: the dragon current & orgone accumulators
To whoever this may concern,
I have just recently been introduced to Wilhelm
Reich and his dicoveries; not to mention the rebirth of his investigations
into the life energy. So, there is a lot of information that I don't know
on this. However, I am ecstatic about centralising orgonomy into other
studies that I am persuing. My name is Michael Gries, I am !7 years-old
and have taken my G.E.D. (escaping from the mental ward they call high
school) in order to persue these studies. These are many things, including
chinese science and medicine, Tibetan mysticism, theatre, orgonomy, and
mythology. NO, I AM NOT A NEW AGE FREAK AND I DO NOT BUY INTO ANY OF THAT
GLITZY STUFF. If anything, I am more of a philosopher: I get high off of
ideas.
To get to the point, I have a lot that I wish to
learn and discuss, so I will begin simply in this message, because I don't
want to say too much all in a big pile of a message, and then I would like
to exchange and share more with any body who is interested in exploring
and applying these ideas and theories. First of all, I would like to know
if anyone has done experiments investigating the flow of orgone within
the earth along known meridians and centers of energy. Please, let me explain:
(Remember, I am a philosopher, if I belong in a category, and I do not
want to put off any scientists or other philosophers, thinking I am some
New Ager out to spiritualize the world. I want to interact with everybody)
I have been for a long time interested in what was the purpose of Reich's
experiments: tapping into the life energy for the purpose of 'fine-tuning'
the human civilisation so that we may unlock a relationship to nature and
the cosmos. This relationship then may manifest a greater harmony with
nature and ourselves. This is now MY purpose in life. The chinese have
understood a great deal about the life energy for centuries. It is their
understanding that it is taken into the body through breath and travels
along known meridians where it then radiates and flows through every cell
in the body, governing and conceptualising the life processes. The meridians
are just like rivers in that their pathways are always meandering in different
directions in different people, however the fluctuation in the flows are
microscopic, so the chinese just keep them in straight lines. Sydney
and Jone Baggs say something interesting on this in their book: The
Healthy House: "Said to have been practised in China for 5000
or so years, acupuncture deals with the movement of ch'i as it flows along
what are known as meridians in the human body. The meridians are the pathways
which connect 365 acupuncture points on the skin with the specific organs
of the body. While meridians do not exist in the same physiological sense
as veins and nerves do, there is a perceptible decrease in the skin's electrical
resistivity for a few millimeters (approximately 1/10 of an inch) around
the acupuncture points. Ch'i circulates around the body, through these
meridians, 50 times a day.
"In an experiment conducted by two French
doctors, Darras and Devernejoul (Darras 1986), a solution containing a
radioactive isotope (technetium) was injected into an acupuncture point
and the movement of the radioactivity was traced using a gamma-ray camera.
The velocity at which the radioactive material moved through the body was
3-5 centimeters (1-2 inches) per minute, which correlates with the rate
of ch'i circulation through the body predicted by the acupuncturists. The
radioactive material moved along the paths recognised by acupuncture as
the ch'i-carrying meridians of the body. It did not enter the blood or
lymphatic systems, actually passed through a tourniquet, and diffused in
the direction of the target organ. The rate of diffusion increased when
the relevant acupuncture point was stimulated by a needle. The 'dragon
path' of ch'i had been identified. It leads one to question whether it
may be possible in the future to detect a similar meridian network in the
body of the Earth. Only time will tell."
The chinese, in their understanding of ch'i, realised
that when emotional traumas or blockages took place within the individual,
corresponding disturbances and blockages manifested within the flows of
ch'i throughout the whole body, bringing physiological and psychological
illnesses.. They treated this through many different understandings and
variations of their knowledge of ch'i and yin and yang, such as yoga, meditation,
and acupuncture. The basics of acupuncture dirctly corresponds to Reich's
theory of the cosmic superimpositions of orgone energy flows in that a
matrix of needles are set in the flesh to puncture all the acupuncture
points (they need not reach the actual centers of ch'i, which are about
an inch under the skin, but need only to go a few centimeters to attract
the energy). This matrix then works together with the will or faith of
the doctor and the will or faith of the patient, setting up a spiral movement
of the ch'i around each needle, making the ch'i move faster and faster,
and become more and more concentrated, building up a charge until they
release it. These charges then balance all flows, flushing out all the
blockages.
In the west, another ancient chinese practise has
migrated and adopted. This practice is called the art of feng-shui, and
deals with the understanding of the energy flows on the surface of the
planet and how to live in harmony with them. All the ancient dynasties,
kingdoms, cities, villages, and even tombs were built according to feng-shui
principles for the purpose of an energy flow that would bring wealth, prosperity,
and peace to their whole civilisation. Basically, one must have an understanding
of the present astological cycles, correlate them to the patterns of the
surrounding countryside, and then understand the landscape's relation to
the visible positions and present cycles of the stars, sun, and moon in
order to understand the energy flow within the landscape. However, now
in the West, people are mostly learninig simply the interior awareness
of feng-shui, which deals with the currents of energy set up in the organisation
of the rooms, furniture, personal belongings, and things like that.
Now, I will conclude here. I have a great deal
more that I want to talk about, but this is only supposed to be a message,
so I wiIl leave this open for more discussion. However, I do really wish
to know if anybody understands and has ever applied any of these to Reich's
theories. Also, then done any experiments with the effect of a human being
within an orgone accumulator that is built according to certain astronaumical
observations, and/or observations of the landscape. Also, if ones have
ever been built on cultural sacred places of the landscape. I believe that
all cultures, in their past, did one time understand these things, owing
to the fact that in all cultures, it seems that, globally, certain application
were at least attempted; with the evidence of things like the megaliths
in Britain (huge stone, circles of stone, or large stone constructions
used in prehistoric 'monuments'; Stonehenge being the most awesome) costructed
at cultural sacred sites, all aligned along what are known as 'ley lines',
which are known to extend for miles and miles. All of these having astronaumical
coordinations. This is not to mention prehistoric chambers built deep within
the Earth, whose construction parrelels exactly to that of the construction
of Reich's orgone accumulators. This is but one example of an ancient,
world-wide phenomenon. The meridians of life-creating energy in the Earth
are called the dragon currents in China. In Britain, folklore attributes
the presence of dragons with the stone circles and along the ley lines.
Mythology all over the world attributes dragons and serpents to the universal
creative force and fertility. That is, as thay say, another story.

According to one of Reich's experiments, if vegetation is positioned on the same location where the temperature phenomenon occurs, which is directly above or on top of the accumulator, growth is accelerated beyond the normal rate. Has anyone looked into this, and if so, what conclusions have been made? Has anyone attempted to build accumulators underground, maybe beneath a greenhouse, and if so, have any effects been noticed? I'm also interested in the fact that music has been proven to accelerate growth rates of vegetation enormously. Has anyone, who practices in the field of orgonomy looked into this? I am a poet who believes that what Reich was coming to understand about liberation and psychological cleansig through sex is not restricted to the act of copulation. Being raised in a family devoted to the arts, myself included, it seems that the creative process not only matches sexual embrace, it is a form of sexual embrace that, through constant attention, always liberates one's mind and body in an equally profound way as sex has been understood to do. Has anybody looked into this and if so, have there been any effects on the creative process within the accumulator?
Thank you very much, Michael Gries

Subject: 20-ply accumulator....England.
ORAC Forum.
A short while ago, I remember seeing an insert in these pages from a person in Edinburgh, Scotland, who did not have an accumulator, but would like to use one. If you in Edinburgh are still reading these pages, please mail me.
For the rest of Britain (and overerseas travellers), mail me and feel free to visit the site of the accumulators. We have been building accumulators for the last 3 years or so, and we have made some ranging from 3-ply to a 20-ply. All the accumulators have been made from the finest materials we can find; 0000' grade steel wool, woven glass (no resins), beeswax and cellotex. They are over 5 miles away from any high voltage cables (or low voltage) and microwave emitting towers; in a garden surrounded by trees and large shrubs. We do not run this as a business, or ask for any monies, and anyone is free to come and use the accumulators.
I also make credit card size 3-ply accumulators and distribute them freely - if anyone would like one, two, some, please mail me. (UK & Ireland Only )
I will so produce a home page of the accumulator site.

Greetings,
I have been studying Reich for many years and have undergone Reichian therapy. My husband (who also has had Reichian therapy) and I have built a large orgone blanket and orgone shooter. We have used the blanket to offset colds and used the shooter on seeds we planted in our garden and for minor cuts and bruises. I am a science teacher and am trying to understand how Reichian principles applies to the conventional theory. I am interested in sharing experiences and thoughts with others about Reich and also the 4th Way (and how these two systems connect).
Hope to hear from others soon, Manuela
ORAC Forum
It was good to see a series of photographs revealing the construction of a cabinet-style ORAC with safety precautions as indicated by the use of hand tools and pneumatic power tools (rather than electro/magnetic power tools which can produce ORANUR and DOR if used improperly), by the use of dust masks, and by outside construction in fine weather when possible. However, the sight of a TV next to an ORAC (in one photograph) indicates a dangerous condition which should be changed immediately. ORANUR effects on human health are substantial and include psychological and biophysical effects with some people reacting much more strongly than others.
The ORAC if made and used improperly will have ill effects on the manufacturers and users of this powerful device.
