Orgonotic Pulsation * The differentiation of orgone energy from electromagnetism

Presented in talks with an electrophysicist

INTRODUCTION

The present article deals with orgonotic pulsation as a physi-cal characteristic of cosmic orgone energy. The relevant experi-ments demonstrate orgonotic manifestations in the realm of nonliving nature. With that, orgone biophysics takes root in or-gone physics. The past five years (1939-1944) have shown that the differentiation of the cosmic orgone energy from electromag-netism, as it is usually understood, was indispensable and fruit-ful. In the process of this differentiation, a wealth of connec-tions between orgonotic pulsation and problems of biology, geology, and astronomy were discovered. They are as yet incal-culable, and only a small fraction of them could be organized. I was confronted with the choice of either postponing the publi-cation of the basic facts of orgone physics until such time as all these connections are essentially clear, or of delimiting cer-tain problems and presenting them separately.

In the first case, the presentation of a total picture of the orgone functions would inevitably have been burdened with hy-potheses. In the second case, that of piecemeal presentation, the view of the whole is unsatisfactory and often even confusing. There is, however, the advantage that the details of a special realm of functioning can be more sharply drawn. I chose the second way, which also enables me to collect more differing and critical points of view before attempting to correlate the various aspects of the orgone function into a whole.

I can understand the impatience of my friends who would like to learn as much as possible as soon as possible. However,

the interest of the total work requires the interpolation of several years between the time a finding is made and its publication. This is an automatic safeguard against theoretical blunders. From the very beginning of orgone research it has proven valua-ble not to publish a new finding until it has developed into an essential new insight. The continued development to a new in-sight is a confirmation of the previous finding.

The finding that all substances which have been made to swell show a bionous structure was not published until it had already brought an understanding of the cancer cell. The finding of the visibility of the orgone was not published until after the discov-ery of the temperature difference. When the findings of thermi-cal and electroscopic orgonometry were published (1944), the phenomena of orgonotic attraction and repulsion (1942-43) had already been confirmed. Now when I submit the phenomena of orgonotic pulsation for publication, there are already new find-ings and correlations derived from the study of the pulsation, which confirm and elaborate it.

These things are being said for a good reason. Many of my critics are hasty in their judgment. Thus, for example, in the case of the article, "The Discovery of the Orgone" (1942), the objection was made that I should have used this or that method of measurement, that I should have made this or that additional experiment. We do not have to pay attention to the sarcastic derision with which the first publications on the orgone were met in certain quarters. It is the reaction of impotent people to something alive.

This presentation of orgonotic pulsation in the realm of non-living nature is made in the form of talks with an electrophysi-cist. He propounds views and objections which, in the course of years, have been propounded by actual physicists. In some places, I have attributed to him typical textbook opinions. In others, he raises objections which I had to raise myself in the course of the experiments. In still others, he gives explanations as they derive from the orgone experiments.

and electrophysics. The erroneous concepts of my electrophysi-cist are quite common in the world of physics. It goes without saying that they are not mine.

I would like to ask the reader's indulgence toward minor er-rors which may be found here and there. If one cuts through a jungle, one is apt to trip over a root and make a blunder. The pioneer in the jungle does not necessarily have to know the exact chemical composition of the leaves. Theoretical physics contains so many fundamental errors that it can ill afford to appear in the role of an intolerant critic of a young and pioneer-ingly fruitful science such as orgone physics.

WILHELM REICH. April, 1944.

THE POSITION OF THE BIOLOGICAL ENERGY IN NATURAL SCIENCE

Electrophysicist (E): A biologist friend of mine told me very peculiar things about your orgone research. He thinks that your bion experiments may prove of great significance for biology. On the other hand, he doubts whether the world of classical biology will ever accept the bion theory.

Orgone biophysicist (0): 1 share his doubts. Orgone biophysics will not first gain social recognition in the realm of biology, but in the realms of biopsychiatry and physics.

E. I don't understand. After ali, with psychiatric problems concerning the nature of the "emotions" as your point of departure, you found a way into the biological foundation of psychic processes. One would think, then, that the realm of biol-ogy would be the first to acknowledge your findings. Do you understand this resistance on the part of classical biology?

O. This question can be answered in a few sentences: Biology, apart from vitalism, has an essentially mechanistic orientation. Orgone biophysics operates functionally—in the experiment, its interpretation, and in the formulation of theories. Classical biol-ogy finds itself in a tragic dilemma. On the one hand, it deals

Orgonotic Pulsation 23

with living processes which it considers sharply delineated from nonliving nature. On the other hand, and simultaneously, it at-tempts to comprehend the life principie by way of methods and concepts which are taken entirely from physics and chemistry, that is, the sciences concerned with nonliving nature. Orgone bi-ophysics finds itself at the opposite pole. First, it assumes the existence of fluid transitions from the realm of nonliving to that of living nature. Second, it dispenses, of necessity, with the mechanistic physical conception of living processes. It demon-strates a specific biological energy which governs ali living processes on the basis of simple natural laws. This energy, called orgone, governs living as well as purely mechanical natural processes. The functions of this energy make comprehensible the manner in which living matter develops from nonliving matter, that is, the process of biogenesis.

E. It was precisely this aspect of your research which made me look you up. I don't come to you because of my interest in electrophysics, but rather because I am interested in biology. I have been studying it on the side, as one collects stamps or plays golf, in order to get a change from my own professional field.

a I doubt that your interest in biology is no more than an incidental avocation. The biologista, left unsatisfied by their own science, seek respite from dry mechanism in physics and chemis-try. For the same reason, many physicists and chemists find their way into the realm of living functioning, if not into mysticism. It is striking to see to what extent Newton was involved with metaphysical and religious problems. At first glance, this seems amazing in a representative of that "most exact of the natural sciences," mathematics. But that which is alive in genuine scien-tists always searches for the basic elements, for the common denominator in the natural laws and processes. The living is a significant part of nature. Until now, it was in the keeping of mysticism and genuine religiosity. Of course, I am not referring here to the officials of natural science who are concerned with knowledge which is already recognized. They are comparable to museum guards who watch over statues. I am referring to the genuine researcher, the one who strives to get beyond his own

limited field, the one who attempts to find the place of his spe-cial field in the unitary natural process.

E. Obviously, there has always been a tremendous need for the simplification and unification of the scientific world picture. Unfortunately, the efforts in that direction have been futile. Rather, the increasing specialization of the various branches of research and their concern with detail work has had the opposite effect, leading natural science farther and farther away from its real goal, the simplification and unification of natural processes. The natural philosophers, on whom this task developed, also soon became specialists, specialists in speculation and in the at-tempt to solve the riddle of the common denominator in nature by pure thinking. The cry for integration of the natural sciences means little as long as the process and function are not found which comprise ali natural processes in their totality as well as in their individual functions.

The specialists of today are poorly trained in systematic think-ing. They cannot coordinate the details into a whole. One does not see the woods for ali the trees, or the natural process for all the words. It is as if thousands of builders were to create a magnificent structure without having a plan for the whole. Thus there are beautifully furnished rooms with no entrance; the water pipe leads into the chimney; the bedrooms are in the lobby and the reception room on the eighth floor. The result is utter confusion. When the tenants move in, there is war, for—all improvements of modern technology notwithstanding—nobody can find his way around.

O. I usually demonstrate to my pupils and friends the differ-ence between mechanistic word-science and functional natural science by way of a very simple illustration.

E. Let's hear it. O. Take a primitive who enters a modern living room and sees

a chair for the first time in his life. What will be his immediate question? "What do you call this?" or "What do you do with it? What is it made of?"

E. The latter, of course. To begin with, he would not ask about the name because a word, such as "chair," would not tell him anything about the function or nature of the sitting

contraption. To him, "table" or "book" could equally well mean "chair." His biological feeling of motion will soon tell him what one has to do in order to "use" this peculiar sitting apparatus. Not until our primitive has established this practical, that is, functioning, contact, will he give the contraption a name, such as "leg rest" or "buttocks support."

O. Our classical biologists are not that dose to reality. Classi-cal biology has divided and subdivided the realm of the living according to externai statistical characteristics and clothed it with a host of difficult words. With that, the primitive sense for function and the origin of function was so thoroughly lost that the natural functional intelligence underwent complete atro-phy. When a biologist sees an energy vesicle, which is spherical and takes blue Gram stain, he believes he has explained it satis-factorily when he names it "staphylococcus," thereby completely blocking the avenue of approach to the questions, "Where does it come from? What becomes of it? How does it function?"

E. Yes. And since there is a word for every one of the infinite number of diverse manifestations, the result is a fantastic con-fusion.

O. Neurology actually believes to this very day that it has "ex-plained" a motion when it designates the nerve fibers in which the excitation runs. Among the hundreds of thousands of ana-tomical names referring to the animal organs, and ali the nam-ing of the various reflexes, there is not one referring to the or-gastic contraction. The simple and basic biological functional movements have been overlooked. If any animal were to try to function according to the description of its body in a mechanis-tic anatomy textbook, it would be unable to move a limb.

E. I once saw a mental patient in a rigid attitude of defense and made a remark about it to the psychiatrist. He said, "This is the well-known opisthotonus." He did not see the expression of the movement, that is, its function.

O. It is a pleasure to hear a physicist speak in strictly func-tional terms. After all, hasn't the electron theory realized the desired unification of the scientific world picture to some ex-tent? Isn't the electron theory of today in harmony with the good old atomic theory of Democritus? To judge from the news-

are one and the same process in the biological apparatus, because the intensity of a sensation corresponds to the quantity of the excitation, and vice versa. At the same time, however, a sensa-tion, e.g., a visual impression, can produce an excitation, and, conversely, an excitation, like the touch of a hand, can produce a sensation. Adrenalin in the blood produces anxiety, and anxie-ty results in increased adrenalin secretion into the blood.

E. You call the relationship of sensation and excitation "func-tionally identical and antithetical." It is difficult to conceive of a simultaneous identity and antithesis.

O. This is due to the armored human structure which is in-capable of thinking functionally, that is, in keeping with reality.

E. You will arouse violent objections if you contend that peo-ple, as a result of their biopsychic structure, perceive natural processes incorrectly. If you were right, the two prevailing sys-tems of thought, mechanism and metaphysics, would have to be understood as having resulted from the character structure of man during an epoch of some thousands of years. That is hard to swallow.

O. Not any harder than when man had to give up the errone-ous belief he had held for two thousand years that the earth was the center of the universe. Then, the doctrine of a divine, i.e., supernatural, creation of man was responsible for the false belief that man was the center of the world and, with that, the earth was the center of the universe. Similarly, the mistaken idea that man's thought, independent of his character structure, is "in itself logical and correct" creates the erroneous beliefs of his natural philosophy. Ever since the beginning of written histo-ry, human structure has become rigid as a result of authoritarian civilization. For this reason it no longer follows purely biosocial laws. It is not difficult to understand that a biologically rigid organism experiences its own body and, with that, its sensations and perceptions, in a different way than does a biologically non-rigid organism, e.g., that of a snake.

E What you mean is this: As natural philosophy has always known, sensation is the only portal through which we gain ac-cess to the environment and our own organization. If, now, the sensations of the organism are not unitary, if they are blocked

Orgonotic Pulsation 29

or split apart, this state of affairs must be reflected in the per-ception and the intellectual comprehension of the natural processes. In that case, an organism which does not experience its vegetative currents directly and in a unified manner but which, nevertheless, is under their influence, would have to as-sume mystical, supernatural forces, while an organism which ex-periences itself as angular and mechanical could only produce a mechanistic world picture.

O. Precisely. Functional thinking, on the other hand, cor-responds to the natural unitary functioning of the organism. This fact is clearly established by painstaking character-analytic investigations. In schizophrenia, for example, the emotions are perceived as influences coming from outside, because the percep-tion of the vegetative currents is blocked from the excitation. The splitting of excitation and sensation is a basic symptom of this disease and gives it its name. The compulsive character, with his mechanical, angular, unyielding compulsive thoughts, with his tendency to divide everything he experiences into mechanical subdivisions, is the prototype of mechanistic thinking. In reality, mechanical rigidity and mystical experience usually go hand in hand. This is so because the mechanistic splitting up of self-perceptions leaves a void in the experiencing of life. The mystical experience then makes up—in a pathological manner, of course—for what the rigid, mechanistic thinking does not provide.

E. Can you graphically depict your schema of biopsychic functioning?

O. This is what it looks like:

can be observed directly. E. You mean to say you observed movements of contraction

and expansion in previously rigid substances? O. Yes. But such observation is not possible at a magnifica-

tion of less than 3000x. This direct observation shows beyond any doubt that what causes the movement is inner impulses and not externai mechanical impulses which the mechanist ascribes to molecules and calls "Brownian movement."

E. One should think it's obvious that Brownian movement can result only in a movement from place to place and that it cannot explain inner motility.

O. This has already been admitted by some biologists. E. Movement without energy is inconceivable. Since we must

exclude the presence of externai impulses, the inner motility can be ascribed only to an energy which develops in and from the matter itself.

O. It cannot possibly be otherwise. E. How do you bring about the transition from rigidity to

inner motility? O. By making matter swell. This can be done simply by put-

ting it in water. Depending on the hardness and density, it will take more or less time until the first manifestations of inner motility appear. In order to shorten the process, we add sub-stances which promote the process of swelling, such as potassi-um chloride, and heat the solutions in the autoclave to 120 °C. In doing so, we reproduce a process which continually goes on in nature. After a long spring rain, for example, one finds vividly pulsating bions in the soil. Very hard or rigid substances, such as rock or coal, have to be "smashed" by heating them to incandescence before being exposed to the process of swelling

E. How does the bion differ from its substance of origin? O. First of ali, structurally. For example, a coal or rock parti-

de, or a particle of iron filing shows a smooth or striated struc-ture. After having been made to swell, however, the same sub-stances show, particularly in the darkfield, a vesicular structure. The vesicles detach themselves. If viewed with apochromatic lenses, at a magnification of 3-5000x, their content appears blue

Orgonotic Pulsation 43

or blue-green. The substances of origin, however, show their own color: coal appears black, iron blackish brown, etc. Every substance which has oeen made to swell and every living sub-stance shows these two characteristics: bionous, vesicular struc-ture and blue or blue-green content.

E. At what stage do the pulsatory movements occur? O. When the membrane of the bion has become thin enough

to yield to the interna! impulse to expansion and contraction. E. I would like to limit myself to the physical manifestations

and suggest that we postpone discussion of the biophysical ones until we have understood the orgone functions in the realm of the nonliving.

O. Fine. E. Do you find that the particles exert any influence at a dis-

tance, and are there any differences in this respect between the bions and the substances of origin?

O. The nonliving substances of origin show no inner motility, the bionous substances do. This indicates the mobilization of attractive and repulsive forces in the process of swelling. The rigid substances of origin have no influence on bacteria which are placed in their proximity. The heaps of bionous matter, how-ever, attract and paralyze them. This effect is the more marked the more mobile and more strongly radiating the bions are.

E. You say "more strongly radiating," How do you determine this?

O. Bionous matter refracts light more strongly than does non-bionous matter. Microscopically and photographically, it shows a strongly refracting "margin" around the membrane. This radi-ating margin appears with the bionous disintegration of matter and disappears when the bion dies, that is, becomes immobile or degenerates into T-bacilli. T-bacilli, or, to put it differently, particles with a weak orgone charge, show no radiating margin. Blood platelets do not show it. The radiating margin, then, is certainly not a phenomenon of refraction.

E. You assume a connection between orgone and light. What have you found out about that experimentally?

O. Nothing really up to now. The connection is still obscure. We have experimented with photographic plates for the past five

years, without reaching a satisfactory conclusion. E. Are photographic plates influenced by the orgone? O. We have incontrovertible proof that orgone affects the pho-

tographic emulsion. However, the results obtained in different experiments are so contradictory and so unusual from the stand-point of customary radiation photography that they are as yet inconclusive. For this reason, we are not yet publishing the re-sults obtained thus far.

E. After all, in a research field as new as yours, nobody will ask to see everything settled at once. Does orgone influence the photographic plate like light or like another kind of electromag-netic energy? Does it blacken the plate?

D. According to observations to date, the atmospheric orgone consists of three different forms of energy. I shall not tell you about them yet, because I would like you to see them for your-self. Since the orgone penetrates everything and, for that reason, it has not been possible to delimit it, it was also not possible to separate the three different forms from each other. If photo-graphic plates are exposed in the dark to concentrated orgone, one obtains results which correspond to an influence of light. If, however, the plates are exposed to concentrated orgone and light, simultaneously or successively, one finds that those parts of the emulsion which were influenced by the orgone no longer react to the light influence. It seems that orgone acts like light and, simultaneously, antithetically to it. On the one hand, it blackens photographic plates; on the other, it prevents or reduces the blackening by light.

E. That sounds peculiar. The prevention or reduction of the light effect by an energy is something basically new. 1 would like to see orgone energy.

O. That will not be difficult. We sit down in this completely dark orgone accumulator,* which consists of a double layer of organic and metallic material. From the outside inward, there is a layer of celotex, then a layer of sheet iron, then again a layer of celotex and another layer of sheet iron. We shall have

*Reich refers to a room in the students' laboratory at Orgonon which was layered as an accumulator. [Eds.]

to adapt our eyes to the darkness for about half an hour. Then, will you describe your observations?

E. All right. I am very curious and believe in direct observa-tion. In physics, unfortunately, we cannot directly observe the flight of energy particles; we can only photograph it. But that is not the same thing. We are forced to form hypothetical con-cepts concerning the motion of the electrons, without being able to observe them. We can only deduce their motion but cannot see it. The motion of the energy particles is too rapid for our eye and is in itself not perceptible, except by way of fluorescent substances or the photographic plate.

O. In observing the orgone, we have the great advantage that the motion of the particles is very slow compared with the speed of electromagnetic energy. Keep watching a definite spot on the metal wall of the accumulator. You will have to wait until you really can see the phenomena.

E. I find that the room is not absolutely black, but appears filled with a dim diffuse light. It is of a bluish-gray color. It also seems that there are small bluish dots flying by. But I can't be sure, because when I dose my eyes, they continue to be there.

O. Since orgone is present everywhere, you have it in your eyes just as you have it outside at the wall of the accumulator. This is one of the difficulties inherent in there observations. The orgone also irritates the optic nerve and produces after-images.

E. Now it becomes more distinct. I see small blue sparks fly toward me and past me. They seem to come out of the walls at rhythmical intervals, which have nothing to do with my pulse rate. As the dots move toward me, they seem to slowly contract and expand. When flying by sidewise, they take a trajectory similar to a parabola. This trajectory is interrupted by loop-like forms; it is as if at certain points of the trajectory, the dots would begin to fly in the opposite direction, thus forming a loop.

O. Can you tell whether the distantes between the loops are uneven or about even?

E. They seem to be about even. O. We shall draw the form of the trajectory sometime and

discuss it. For the time being, just get acquainted with it. In

ers. But I shall listen to your arguments. O. Before giving them, let us find out whether there is any

kind of consensus of opinion in the world of physics concerning the basic principies of electricity. Is there an awareness of fun-damental gaps in the understanding of electromagnetism?

E. Indeed there is. There are plenty of contradictions. Quite a number of prominent physicists doubt the correctness of the prevalent concepts of so-called "static electricity."

O. How would you briefly formulate these doubts? E. Modern physics has progressed to functional formulations

of energy. The concepts of "matter" and "energy" are no longer rigid. They no longer denote sharply delineated fields but, rather, a functional condition, which allows for transition. "Energy" is no longer thought of as attached to "matter"; rather, matter is considered extremely slowed down energy which has become solidified, while energy is matter which is dissolved and extremely speeded up. Compared with such functional con-cepts in modern physics, the concept of the two "electrical fluids" which supposedly explains the phenomena of the static electroscope is unsatisfactory.

O. The findings of orgone biophysics absolutely fit the func-tional concept of the relationship between matter and energy. On the other hand, they are at variance with the concept of two separate electrical fluids, positive and negative electricity. This old theory is a reflection of mechanistic thinking which splits things up. This thinking not only made an absolute dis-tinction between "matter" and "energy"; it even split up the electrical energy into two independent "fluids."

E. The old scientific pioneers should not be blamed for that. After ali, this concept was in accord with a number of phenomena of friction electricity. A rubber rod, when rubbed, shows an energy which indeed has the opposite electroscopic ef-fect from the energy shown at a rubbed glass rod. If one deflects the electroscope leaf with a rubbed rubber rod, a second rubbed rubber rod will increase the deflection, while a rubbed glass rod will decrease it. This confirms the concept of the two separate electrical fluids.

o I have carried out the old experiments with this kind of

electricity many times and can confirm them. But in doing so I have made two observations which are at variance with the theory.

E. New observations may still be understood in terms of the old theory. Only if this is absolutely impossible, only when a new concept brings more facts into a simple unit than the old theory and does it in a better way, only then has it a right to replace the old theory. Experimental physics is rightly strict in judging new theories, if for no other reason than to avoid chaos. What are the observations which are at variance with the theory?

O. 1 continued the experiments with electricity induced from rubber and glass in the following manner: Instead of rubbing the glass rod on dead felt, I rubbed it on the hair of my head. The electroscope was excited with an electrified rubber rod. Ac-cording to your mechanistic theory of friction, there should be no difference between the dead felt and my hair. Friction is fric-tion. Consequently, the glass rod which was excited with my hair should decrease the opposite charge of the electroscope. In reali-ty, it increases the charge, that is, it has the same sign as the rubbed rubber rod. This contradicts the assumption of a specific glass electricity. It would be senseless to assume that the glass rod becomes energized like the rubber rod if rubbed with the hair and like a glass rod if rubbed with felt. It is conceivable, however, that the process taking place between glass rod and hair is different from that taking place between glass rod and dead felt. This phenomenon is incompatible with the mechanis-tic concept of electrical excitation by friction. My observations of the orgone manifestations explain the contradiction. The hypothesis of the two specific electrical fluids fails us here.

E. Not yet. There is the possibility that the glass rod draws off negative electricity from the hair, while it may itself become excited, that is, react positively, with the felt, which is much rougher than the hair.

O. I raised this objection myself. Another experiment answers your argument. If you were right, then the friction induced by the felt—independent of the sign of the excitation of the glass rod—would have to result in the same deflection of the electro-

Page 18: Orgonotic Pulsation 21 Orgonotic Pulsation · 20 WILHELM REICH Orgonotic Pulsation * The differentiation of orgone energy from electromagnetism Presented in talks with an electrophysicist

54 WILHELM REICH

since the days of Volta and Faraday, the principie of producing electricity has become entirely different. In industry, electrical energy is produced only by chemical elements or the motion of metal wires in magnetic fields. The generator and the battery have replaced the old electrical machine. That's ali. It doesn't strike me as remarkable.

O. But it is. This has not happened by accident. The theory of friction electricity did not lead any further because it became bogged down in the concept of the two separate fluids. Techni-cally, it was a miscarriage. Practically, the principie of two elec-trical fluids was replaced by the more fruitful principie of mov-ing electromagnetic energy fields.

E. What about it? You are getting complicated. O. No, I am not. I have merely to recall from oblivion an

extremely important fact, precisely in connection with the ques-tion of whether or not orgone is electricity. My contention is that the energy with which the ancient Greeks and our fore-fathers since Gilbert were dealing was a basically different ener-gy from that with which the physicists have been dealing since Volta and Faraday, different not only with regard to the princi-pie of its production, but fundamentally different. In reality, with the principie of friction, the ancient Greeks had discovered the orgone. The electric current was discovered first by Volta, Faraday, Coulomb, Ampere, etc., and they broke completely with the line of energy research followed by the ancient Greeks, and by the moderns to the times of Gilbert and Franklin.

E. Why, that sounds fantastic. I would not even listen any more if I did not know you to be conscientious.

O. It is no more fantastic than the overlooking of the at-mospheric orgone on the part of physicists and astronomers.

E. How do you explain the fact that the atmospheric energy was so thoroughly overlooked?

O. There is a psychological or, rather, biological explanation which I shall present elsewhere. But there is also a purely techni-cal explanation. The men who study "cosmic rays" have been on the track of the orgone for a long time. The fact that they missed it is due to an erroneous interpretation of electroscopic reactions.

Orgonotic Pulsation 55

E. You don't say! Can you explain this in a simple manner? O. Basic facts can always be presented simply. What is compli-

cated is the working out of new methods, and, above ali, the refutation of prejudiced and erroneous concepts which shroud the simple facts. The phenomenon of overlooking the at-mospheric orgone shows this particularly clearly.

E. If you had not given me an incontrovertible visual demon-stration of the orgone, I would have refused to follow any further.

O. It is just the point at which so many physicists deny me credence. One is loath to give up old, well-established concepts. That has always been so. I wonder if man will ever reach the stage where he is willing to relinquish the iliusion of emotional security provided by well-established concepts for the feeling of triumph experienced in finding something new.

E. You overlook the factors of envy and the narrowness of everyday thinking.

O. I have learned to understand this narrowness. It is neces-sary for a well-ordered functioning of the social machinery and as a protection against human irrationalism. Unfortunately, it blocks many decisive insights and, with that, the real mastery of the difficulties of life.

E. What are your facts? We want to postpone the interpreta-. tion of the facts until later.

O. 1 am glad to hear you make a clear-cut distinction between the two. All too often, facts are explained away by concepts without any content. When I demonstrated the bions to a biolo-gist he brushed them off with the remark that "The Brownian movement was a well-known fact." When 1 asked him whether the physical Brownian movement, based on "the push of the molecules," could explain the movements of expansion and con-traction in the bions, he became angry. Let us start by looking at the new facts and try to bring them into harmony with the concepts of electricity. Will you, as an exponent of these the-ories, formulate the accepted view of electrical conduction and insulation?

E. This is simple and generally recognized: The good conduc-tor of electricity differs from the insulator or poorly conducting

But here every one of your contentions is proven to be true. O. In the early phases of my orgone-physical work, I repeated-

ly made the mistake of showing individual findings to physicists and biologista who had not participated in the work. Their reac-tion was always the same incomprehensible one. They saw the finding, gave some "explanation" for it, and, with that, believed they had understood it. I had to learn that these new findings must be presented only in their logical context, and that a clear-cut distinction has to be made between fact and interpretation. For example: When I discovered the phenomenon of lumination of fluorescent electric light tubes, I showed it to a physicist. Be-fore demonstrating it, I asked him what he would expect to hap-pen if a charged polystyrene rod was brought dose to the tube. He said that nothing was expected to happen. When the tube, nevertheless, luminated, he was at first highly surprised, but im-mediately found an "explanation." It was the gas in the tube, he said. I was surprised to see that this man, a good elec-trophysicist, failed to realize that his "explanation" did not in the least explain why the tube, when approached with the charged rod of insulating material, began to luminate. The spe-cialists have too little curiosity; they are too easily satisfied with words.

E. Your lumination experiment reminds one of the electrified atmosphere connected with Northern lights. According to my knowledge, all astronomical radiation phenomena are explained by electrical ionization. Do the orgone experiments say anything about this?

O. You have quite correctly seen a connection here. The cus-tomary interpretations of such phenomena as the aurora borealis are altogether uncritical. In all these phenomena, we are dealing with orgone, and not with electricity.

E. Can you prove that? O. Yes, to the extent of my experimental experience. If the

Northern lights were of an electrical nature, then a voltmeter would have to react in an experimental reproduction of these phenomena. Connect one of the knobs of this fluorescent argon tube with the electroscope knob. Now move the orgone-charged polystyrene rod up and down past the tube.

Orgonotic Pulsation 61

FIG. 5. Demonstration of orgonotic lumination in fluorescent tube. P = polystyrene rod; T = fluorescent tube; OM = orgonometer (electroscope)

E. The electroscope shows deflections of several hundred volts.

O. We shall now darken the room and adapt our eyes to the darkness. Then we bring the rod dose to the knob of the elec-troscope.

E. The tube luminates every time the rod is brought near it and every time it is removed from it; the same happens when I bring the rod near the tube itself and remove it from it.

O. That is, the orgonotic charge makes the tube luminate. It is transferred through the wire to the knob of the electroscope where it brings about a deflection, and vice versa.

E. The phenomenon would disappear if we were to ground the tube.

O. Try it. E. The phenomenon remains the same, whether or not the

tube is grounded. a Precisely. This fact is incompatible with the theory of posi-

tive and negative electrical charges. You remember that we have

Projeto Arte Org Redescobrindo e reinterpretando W. Reich Caro Leitor Infelizmente, no que se refere a orgonomia, seguir os passos de Wilhelm Reich e de sua equipe de investigadores é uma questão bastante difícil, polêmica e contraditória, cheia de diferentes interpretações que mais confundem do que ajudam. Por isto, nós decidimos trabalhar com o material bibliográfico presente nos microfilmes (Wilhelm Reich Collected Works Microfilms) em forma de PDF, disponibilizados por Eva Reich que já se encontra circulado pela internet, e que abarca o desenvolvimento da orgonomia de 1941 a 1957. Dividimos este “material” de acordo com as revistas publicadas pelo instituto de orgonomia do qual o Reich era o diretor. 01- International Journal of Sex Economy and Orgone Research (1942-1945). 02- Orgone Energy Bulletin (1949-1953) 03- CORE Cosmic Orgone Engineering (1954-1956) E logo dividimos estas revistas de acordo com seus artigos, apresentando-os de forma separada (em PDF), o que facilita a orga-nizá-los por assunto ou temas. Assim, cada qual pode seguir o rumo de suas leituras de acordo com os temas de seu interesse. Todo o material estará disponível em inglês na nuvem e poderá ser acessado a partir de nossas páginas Web. Sendo que nosso intuito aqui é simplesmente divulgar a orgonomia, e as questões que a ela se refere, de acordo com o próprio Reich e seus colaboradores diretos relativos e restritos ao tempo e momento do próprio Reich. Quanto ao caminho e as postulações de cada um destes colaboradores depois da morte de Reich, já é uma questão que extrapola nossas possibilidades e nossos interesses. Sendo que aqui somente podemos ser responsáveis por nós mesmos e com muitas restrições. Alguns destes artigos, de acordo com nossas possiblidades e interesse, já estamos traduzindo. Não somos tradutores especializados e, portanto, pedimos a sua compreensão para possíveis erros que venham a encontrar. Em nome da comunidade Arte Org.
