Wilhelm Reich's Discoveries Of Orgone Energy Changed The Thinking Of Mankind
Wilhelm Reich's discoveries of Orgone Energy changed the thinking of mankind.
Wilhelm Reich's discoveries were extraordinary, but if you have not read about him it's no surprise.
At the time of Reich's discoveries the world wasn't ready to accept his findings as they were to controversial for mainstream.
In my opinion he was too big a threat to pharmaceutical companies, big corporations and political agendas,
the reason being why I believe they closed his research down to the public.
Reich's life was dedicated to better understanding the Universal Energy which he named Orgone Energy.
His experiments proved without a doubt that we could in fact heal ourselves and the planet by understanding the Orgone energy which was available freely to each and every one of us.
Wilhelm Reich's discoveries, observations, and theories about Orgone energy
From a letter to the American Medical Association, signed by 17 medical doctors in 1949.
"We consider the discovery of the Orgone energy was one of the greatest events in human history."
There is a comment by Wilhelm Reich about the importance and function of Orgone energy in the body it goes like this. "This opens the door for us to the functional, PRE-ATOMIC, bio-energetic aspect of disease". I love Reich's work and what he wanted to achieve, I wish he could have been able to continue on his discoveries, I think he would have changed the world as we know it and we would all have been so much the wiser.
A tidal wave of mainstream media slander began, leading to his death in prison, and the burning of his books.
In February 1954, the FDA filed a Complaint for Injunction against Reich in the Federal Court in Portland, Maine. The complaint declared that orgone energy does not exist, and asked the Court to prohibit the shipment of accumulators in interstate commerce and to ban Reich's published literature which they claimed was labelling for the accumulators.
After considerable thought and discussion of this matter, Reich responded with a lengthy letter to Judge John Clifford, explaining that he could not appear in Court, since doing so would allow a Court of law to judge basic scientific research.
He wrote:
"Scientific matters can only be clarified by prolonged, faithful bona fide observations in friendly exchange of opinion, never by litigation... Man's right to know, to learn, to inquire, to make bona fide errors, to investigate human emotions must, by all means, be safe, if the word FREEDOM should ever be more than an empty political slogan."
Judge Clifford did not accept Reich's letter as a valid legal response, and on March 19, 1954, a Decree of Injunction was issued on default as if Reich had never responded at all. But the Injunction itself was even more excessive than the initial Complaint:
While Reich appealed his sentence, the government carried out the destruction of orgone accumulators and literature. In Maine, several boxes of literature were burned, and accumulators and accumulator materials either destroyed or dismantled. In New York City, on August 23, 1956, the FDA supervised the burning of several tons of Reich's publications in one of the city's garbage incinerators, including titles that were only to have been banned.
All appeals denied, on March 12, 1957--two weeks shy of his 60th birthday--Wilhelm Reich was temporarily incarcerated at the Danbury Federal Penitentiary in Connecticut. On March 22, he was taken to the Federal Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. He died there of heart failure on November 3, 1957, and was buried at Orgonon.

- it ordered orgone energy accumulators and their parts to be destroyed
- it ordered all materials containing instructions for the use of the accumulator to be destroyed
- it banned a list of Reich's books containing statements about orgone energy, until such time that all references to orgone energy were deleted. After the initial shock, Reich continued his research, traveling to Arizona to experiment with the cloudbuster in the dry desert environment. While he was there, and without his knowledge, one of Reich' students--Dr. Michael Silvert--moved a truckload of accumulators and books from Rangeley, Maine to New York City, a direct violation of the Injunction.
