hi,

orgone is one of those esoteric subjects that is much discussed but not much studied. this energy was discovered by wilhelm reich who eventually went to jail for touting its medical benefits, where he died a broken man. according to reich orgone energy is all around us, it permeates everything, but it can be accumulated and concentrated for puproses of healing. i think it is closer to the concept of "ether" than it is to "chi" although both are related to each other.

according to reich orgone could be accumulated by making a device that contained organic and inorganic materials in contact with each other. the simplest orgone accumulator in the world is alternating layers of cotton cloth and steel wool. you could for instance if you had a leg injury wrap the leg in cotton, then steel wool, then cotton then steel wool, etc. to accumulate orgone to that area.

more recently people have been making orgone "generators" with a resin matrix that has a crystal at the center, with metal shavings suspended in the matrix randomly. the most popular term for these is cloud busters. the interesing thing is that people will put them in planters and boom! the plants will suddenly grow like bonkers. so obviuosly something is happening there, but what? pinning down orgone enough to do an experiment seems almost impossible. its affects can be seen, but orgone itself cannot be detected or observed. it is without mass, and can penetrate matter.

but as you just read some people don't like the whole resin matrix thing, and i am inclined to agree, though they do seem to be powerful.

my idea is very simple - start with a crystal, wrap it in copper, then cotton cloth, then copper wire, then cotton cloth, then another layer of copper wire. this meets all the definition of an orgone accumulator, the crystal is there to intensify and direct the orgone energy.

so thats orgone. i will let you know when i have one up and working and how it goes.
