The orgone is most strongly attract- ed to living things, to water, and to itself. Orgone energy can lawfully stream or flow from one location to another in the atmos- phere, but it generally maintains a west to east flow, moving with, but slightly faster than the rotation of the Earth. The orgone is related to, but quite differ- ent from other forms of energy. It can, for instance, impart a magnetic charge to ferro- magnetic conductors, but it is not magnetic itself. It can likewise impart an electrostat- ic charge to insulators, but neither is it fully electrostatic in nature. The orgone also is the medium through which electromagnet- ic disturbances are transmitted, much in the manner of the older concept of aether, though it is not itself electromagnetic in nature. It was the U.S. Food & Drug Administration who sought and obtained a Federal Court Decree of Injunction, which ruled that the orgone energy "does not exist". Any books and research journals bearing the word "orgone" were ordered destroyed, and devices using the energy, dismantled or destroyed. (Case #1056, March 19, 1954, US District Court, Portland, Maine, Judge John D. Clifford, Jr.) This book is an informaniac's dream. If you ever wanted to build an "Orgone Energy Accumulator", then this is the book for you. As an invention, the orgone accu- mulator is also now in the public domain, unpatentable, and cannot be dominated by any single individual or corporation. It is also still perfectly legal for citizens to build, own, and use orgone accumulators, (at least in the USA). A new generation of scientists is now discovering the work of Wilhelm Reich, with great progress afoot in the USA, Germany, France, Italy, England, Canada, and Japan. The effort to kill the discovery of the orgone has failed. THE ORGONE ACCUMULATOR HANDBOOK Construction Plans, Experimental Use and Protection Against Toxic Energy by James DeMeo, Ph.D. With a Foreword by Fva Reich, M.D. THE "BION" Reich believed that many of the func- tions attributed to the brain, were really functions of whole-body processes, involv- ing in part the autonomic nervous system, but primarily being the result of the ener- getic forces he had previously documented. He sought to test the idea that these cur- rents of biological energy, functioned the same in all living creatures, by making mil- livoltmeter measurements of amoeba dur- ing states of expansion and contraction. Reich made extended and careful micro- scopical observation of the process where- by the amoeba developed. He did not see spores on the grass blades, swelling up to become new amoeba. Instead he observed that the moss and grass itself would disin- tegrate and break down into small blue- green vesicles. The tiny vesicles would, over a period of days, develop and clump together, after which a new membrane would form around the clump; the clump of vesicles would roll and pulsate inside the membrane for a period, and eventually the whole thing would move away on its own, having turned into a new amoeba. Moreover, Reich observed that a number of materials, both organic and inorganic, would, when allowed to disintegrate and swell in a sterile nutrient solution, form the tiny blue-green vesicles. Reich gave a new name to the unusual microscopic vesicle he had discovered: the bion. It is now over 34 years since Wilhelm Reich died in Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary, just two weeks before his parole date. Reich had been charged with Contempt of Court, when his assistant committed a technical violation of an Injunction banning the spread of any work dealing with "Orgone". Just what was this "Orgone" that threat- ened both the medical and scientific com- munity in the USA so much that most of Reich's work was ordered destroyed by the Court. Reich had already been put on the death lists of both Hitler and Stalin, with they also ordering the destruction of his research notes. So when Reich arrived in the USA in 1939, he attracted many eager scientists and doctors to assist in his amazing work. WHAT IS THE ORGONE ENERGY? Orgone energy is cosmic life energy, the fundamental creative force long known to people in touch with nature, and speculated about by natural scientists, but now physi- cally objectified and demonstrated. Reich identified many of its basic prop- erties. For instance, the orgone energy charges and radiates from all living and non-living forms of matter, though with varying rates of speed. All materials affect the orgone energy, by attracting and absorbing it, or by repelling or reflecting it. The orgone can be seen, felt, measured and photographed. The orgone also exists in a free form in NEXUS - 42 A Review of "THE ORGONE ACCUMULATOR HANDBOOK" by James DeMeo, Ph.D. Reviewed by Duncan Roads DISCOVERY OF _ SUPPRESSION OF ORGONE INFORMATION YEAR BOOK - JULY/AUGUST 1991
