Interview with James DeMeo about Orgone technology
Former professor DeMeo, a foremost world expert on the subject of Orgone
Energy, discusses the well-documented yet still shunned work of the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich and his findings on the orgone energy, or life-energy, which
has application in health, mechanical energy, and weather work.
Upcoming conference.
Last Monday, I interviewed
James DeMeo, perhaps the foremost expert in the world on the subject of Orgone
energy. Hes the founder of the Orgone Biophysical Research Lab in Ashland,
Oregon.
An Overview
In our interview, we explored the work of the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich and his findings on the orgone energy, or life-energy, which have been subjected to careful scientific scrutiny and evaluation, being verified and confirmed in their major aspects, even while his malicious critics continue to ignore or distort this record of accomplishment and discovery.
We also discussed three areas pertaining to orgone energy: as a health
modality, as an energy source, and as a method of drought abatement. We also discuss an upcoming conference on
orgone energy, which you are welcome to attend at his lab in Oregon.
Dr. Reich started out as a psychoanalysis specialist. It was in his
research on Freud's "libido", that he discovered ways to document this
as a concrete energy in the body. In the process of documenting this, he
came up with the "Orgone Accumulator" chambers in which his patients
would report improvement in various ailments and a general increase in
energy. He noted that these accumulators were impaired during cloud cover,
in proportion to the extent of the cloud cover, which led to his work in the
"cloudbuster" research.
Weather Work
That's where DeMeo's carreer began. His Master's thesis in 1979 at the
University of Kansas confirmed Reich's weather work. He said
the apparatus consisted of a system of long tubes that he aimed at certain
compass points, stimulating a flow of energy into the area, apparently via the
jet stream, increasing rainfall.
You would think that work like this would receive international prime-time
coverage and be elevated to the level of "monumental". However,
so far this has not been the case. Reich, who had immigrated to the US
from Germany in 1939 to escape the rise of Hitler, was shut down and imprisoned
by the FDA, and his books were burned in an incinerator. He died in
prison. DeMeo's reception wasn't much warmer. He said the
powers-that-be in Washington, via the National Academy of Sciences, contacted
the University of Kansas and warned them to the effect, "Either you stop
supporting DeMeo, or we'll pull all our funding to your school."
After serving as a professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at Illinois
State University and at the University of Miami, DeMeo eventually (1980s)
founded the Orgone Biophysical Research Lab in Oregon in order to raise funds to
advance the orgone research. Ironically, he's had more invitations to
speak at universities since he left his university posts.
He said he was invited by the Israeli government to come and use his Reich
technology to try and help alleviate a three-year drought they were
having. They then had record-breaking rains, but meteorologists ascribed
it to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, which DeMeo said did not coincide with the
break of the drought nearly as closely as his work did.
He was then invited by a private group to Eritrea, where they were having a
30-year drought. While he was there, the rainfall doubled each year for
five years. That project was cut short due to national violence with
Ethiopia that erupted. A few years prior, he went to Namibia, and
"ended a 3-year drought with very good rains."
When I submitted this story to DeMeo prior to its publication, he wrote, in
part:
I would ask to change the phrase "weather manipulation" to
something more benign sounding, such as, simply, "weather work"
"drought-abatement work" or "desert-greening" where
appropriate. Cloudbusting really isn't about "weather
modification" or push-make manipulation, so much as a more gentle method
for encouraging a return to natural weather pulsation. I've got a longer article
on that issue, ... you'll get the point.
Other Orgone Applications
DeMeo also said that he has repeated the work Reich had done in photographing a
visible life-force glow from certain organisms such as red blood cells and some
microorganisms, especially those associated with hot springs, which people have
found to have healing powers. It used to be that spas and healing centers
were located near these natural hot springs until the 1940's when the FDA (USA)
ordered such to be shut down, saying such claims were untenable (because they
are natural, and not supported by lobbyists?).
I asked him to comment on the various non-visible sources of everywhere-present,
universal energy, such as "Zero Point Energy," "Aether",
"Orgone", and the more conventional "Dark Energy", and how
these relate to one another, if they do. He said it was probably like the
story of the blind men and the elephant -- different disciplines
describing what they observe in their particular field, and thus defining the
energy as being one way; each discipline giving what appears to be a very
different description; when in reality they may all turn out to be different
facets of the same natural force.
DeMeo said that at one point, Reich had devised a mechanism whereby he was able
to harness the orgone from an accumulator and use it to turn a small motor.
A lot of people have tried to replicate that effect, but apparently some
important details have been lost, so no one has been able to do so yet.
I asked him if he thinks it is likely that if someone figures out how to harness
the power of lightning, that it will be because they have training in the
field of orgonomy. The primary problem there are 1) drawing the lightning
to the receptacle and 2) containing and storing the intense discharge. He
replied that the phenomenon of lightning is a function of a high electrostatic
differential between the ground and the sky, which always exists to varying
extents -- on the order of several hundreds of thousands of volts -- and
referred to some researchers who have been able to tap that ever-present electrostatic
potential to produce electricity for use. It's not yet a matured
field, but is certainly interesting.
A Look at the Field
Reich's materials were locked away for 50 years, per Reich's request, and it was
only last year that they were opened.
DeMeo said that by far the greatest interest in pursuing Reich's research has
been by medical doctors wanting to apply the orgone therapy (accumulators) in
their clinics, observing the success of other practitioners.
DeMeo publishes an orgone journal, Pulse
of the Planet, five issues thus far, including experimental papers and
theoretical work. He's also holding an international
conference on New Research in Orgonomy at his lab in Oregon on Aug.
1-2. Subjects will include such things as the orgone accumulator in the
treatment of diseases, the physics of the orgone accumulator, cloudbusting
methods, and the effects of orgone energy in chemical systems. You'll see
from the photos from previous years that the setting is informal and
intimate.
Newcomers to the field are welcome.
He also mentioned that there is going to be a conference
on July 13-16 in Orgonon, Maine, which was the home, laboratory and research center of Reich.
I asked him if he finds that people who gravitate to the field of orgone
research tend to be more of the esoteric, intuitive type. He responded
that most inventors have a strong intuitive side, but that a good scientist also
needs to have a left-brain, analytical component as well.

Different Point of View on Orgone
On June 4, 2009, DKH wrote:
I read with some interest your interview with James Demeo. If you look on the links in the
infinite-energy.com site you will see a link to
aetherometry.
A little reading on that site will give a different view point on Orgone Energy. I don't know about all the ego issues some of the comments raise but Dr Mallove thought well of the aerothermy author. The claim by Dr Demeo that no one has recreated a motor I feel certain would be disagreed with by the
Coreas.

technology, you take a high risk to invest significant time or money
unless (1) independent testing has thoroughly corroborated the
technology, (2) the group involved has intellectual rights to the
technology, and (3) the group has the ability to make a success of

truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
