An Overview of My Orgone Research
Orgone, Oranur, Consciousness, Experiments, AI and Philosophical Discussion
Since my Master of Science focusing on orgone (2000-2002) which was part of an acupuncture degree, I have continually studied and published on orgone, oranur (energised orgone) and consciousness. Here are links to most of my main articles and my books.

CHINESE MEDICINE AND WILHELM REICH, LAP Publishers 2009 (Based on my MSc 2002 University of Wales)
Available from Amazon or email me on LeonOrgone12@proton.me for a copy of the thesis.
There is a detailed overview of this book, which was originally a thesis for my MSc in 2002, in the Collected Writings book Chapter 5, detailed above or can email me for a copy of the original thesis (free). An extended article about it was also published in the European Journal of Oriental Medicine, 2004 or 2005.
Bernd Senf first explored acupuncture and orgone in Germany and my work built on this. There are others such as the decades long clinical work of Dr Inza in Argentina who has explored the energetic and electrical activities of the acupuncture points and orgone charging or DOR-busting them (negative orgone removal). Francesco D'Ingiullo currently uses novel orgone-acupuncture processes in Italy. See psychorgone journal. My thesis formed the first comprehensive analysis of Chinese and Orgonomic theories uncovering some 60 parallels between the theories and a few differences. A 72 person double blind, placebo controlled study also confirmed a statistically significant effect (Confidence Level of P = 0.030) by orgone upon acupuncture.
MAIN JOURNAL ARTICLES: EXPERIMENTAL
PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENT WITH CONTROLLED ORANUR
The oranur cabinet is seen above.
This paper details the first full repeat of Reich’s oranur experiments since 1951 and confirmed much of what he found but in a more controlled environment. A strong orgone device was excited by a small amount of radioactivity and various measurements, objective and subjective, were taken.
FURTHER PRELIMINARY REPORT ON ORANUR
Above is the oranur cabinet with further accumulating devices inside it.
This follow up experimental paper on oranur detailed some preliminary medical treatments using oranur, it also outlined some further magnetic and electrical effects alongside effects of smoke upon oranur and the effect of oranur charging orgone compounds (sometimes known as orgonite).
POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SHAMANIC EFFECTS OF ORANUR
The oranur cabinet (above) was placed upright for a while in its new city centre location.
This paper detailed possible psychological, spiritual and environmental effects of the oranur device, including when modified into a space-gun like device (space-gun was Reich’s term for an oranur modified cloudbuster).
Some of the effects of mild levels of oranur detailed in paper:
Increase in psychic and spiritual abilities.
Increase in cathartic reactions therapeutically
Increase in paranormal spiritual activity.
Also space-gun operations may:
Dry and clear the environment, tending toward finer weather.
Correlate with lower pollution particulates in the environment.
Have possible improvements in health outcomes in local areas.
Lastly, certain people increase oranur charge independent of devices.
PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION INTO A PROTOTYPE DEVICE BASED UPON REICH’S SPACE-GUN
Detailed account of the first use of a space-gun like device since Reich. Various consistent effects upon the weather (drier, finer, more sparkling) appeared to be apparent. Some other unintended effects of the device were also noted due to its apparent effect upon the psyche (such as precipitating an Out of Body Experience). As an introduction a short but useful outline of the history and discovery of cloudbusting and the space-gun is detailed.
ORANUR AND POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS IN AI
A brief overview of orgone’s relationship to consciousness as considered by myself and how it relates to the oranur experiments I conducted. The paper then examined how a prototype orgone ‘computer’ was made which created streams of numbers from the movement of an orgone energy field.
FURTHER ORANUR EXPERIMENTS EXAMING CONSCIOUSNESS AND OTHER ASPECTS (incl. anomalous changes in radioactivity).
Above is a 1950s uranium glass plate.
This paper detailed anomalous changes in radioactivity readings when the above slightly radioactive plate was near to an oranur source. Also detailed is effects of oranur and group meditation. Lastly a medical case study attempting to assist in treating a severely broken leg with oranur is detailed.
WILHELM REICH’S OTHER SECRET
Wilhelm Reich’s Other Secret | The Journal of Psychiatric Orgone Therapy (psychorgone.com)
A unique orgonomic view of the UFO phenomena especially in the 1950s to 1970s when it was markedly different from today. Outlined are Reich and Dr Demeo’s encounters with UFOs. It also explores Reich and Jerome Eden’s UFO hostility view. The probable meeting between Reich and President Eisenhower and the 1950s movie (which seemed to be referencing Reich), Earth Vs The Flying Saucers, is described. A brief overview of the development of the Orgone Motor is also given (Reich thought UFOs ran on orgone).
ORANUR AND PARANORMAL PHENOMENA PARTS 1 AND 2
Photograph of anomalous Oranur energy phenomena.
In part one the authors (myself and Nik Hayes, the bio-form researcher) put forward the hypothesis that all paranormal phenomena is made possible by an underlying oranur field. Historical evidence for this is cited. Dr William Tiller’s oranur-like experiments, various paranormal phenomena and historical figures such as Mesmer, Reichenbach and Nostradamus are discussed.
In part two never before seen photographs from both Hayes and Southgate’s oranur-associated work is presented which appears to show anomalous entities within various energy manifestations.
MAIN JOURNAL ARTICLES: PHILOSOPHICAL
THE ORGONE CONTINUUM
The Orgone Continuum | The Journal of Psychiatric Orgone Therapy (psychorgone.com)
All my later work, theoretically is based upon this paper. It expands the concept of orgone to include consciousness. It outlines a pan-psychic view wherein physicality and consciousness are unified as a tangible continuum.
AN ORGONOMIC THEORY OF TIME: PARTS 1 AND 2.
In part one the main theories of time are examined from an orgonomic perspective. Theories in quantum physics, mainstream science, materialism, Platonic views and others are examined. All are found to answer part of the picture but to be quite incomplete, including Reich’s posited view of time in his middle period (based upon Reich’s semi-materialistic view of consciousness at that point). He changed his views in his last years I believe.
Time as a concept is one of the hardest things to understand. It is something that everyone knows exists but can’t quite define. In part two a new orgonomic theory of time is proposed wherein time is seen as the actual movement, partial and holistic, of the continuum. It is something which is unified with consciousness and physicality. the theory is testable as it suggests that the more orgone is accumulated the more ‘time’ will exist. Time is seen as a physical thing.
ASSESSING THE EXISTENCE OF DEEP ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FROM AN ORGONOMIC PERSPECTIVE
A deep dive into the history of AI and whether orgonomy might help us udnerstand if AI can become sentient.
IMPLICATIONS OF ORGONE FOR CONSCIOUSNESSS RESEARCH PARTS 1 AND 2
Reich’s diagram relating to consciousness using the Common Functioning Principle.
All the main theories of consciousness both scientific and philosophical are discussed (included Reich’s own ‘pre-system theory’ views) and debated from an orgonomic viewpoint. In part 2 an early attempt is made to imagine an orgone computer.
JOINT PAPERS with NIK HAYES
POSITIVE FINDINGS ON CONSTABLE’S BIO-FORMS PARTS 1 AND 2
A 3D bio-form caught on camera by Nik Hayes.
Nik Hayes is the world’s leading expert on Constable’s bio-forms. As I am a researcher focused on oranur (and oranur energy is also integral to Nik’s bio-form research) we have often written together.
Part 1 is a definitive history of the world-wide bio-form research and a scientific investigation of certain claims to have dismissed Constable’s bio-forms. The claims are found to be on shaky ground whereas the evidence for the bio-forms is found to be very good.
Part 2 is a definitive overview of Hayes’ bio-form research in the UK.
OTHER RESOURCES FOR MY WORK
Previous Blog:
Various articles can be found here. My main publishing will be on Substack or in journal articles from now on but the headed article here is a useful one as it defines some sorely needed words amongst the AI discussion. “Organism”, “Machine”, “Consciousness” and “Intelligence” are things which are routinely mis-defined (in my honest opinion!) or put across so loosely as to be meaningless.
Orgone and Consciousness (leonsouthgate.blogspot.com)
Although the blog has been going for a long time I was mainly published in journals or sometimes on my old website until about 2022. A few of the main articles from here were copied over to my Collected Writings book (see first section of this Substack for books). Here is a full list of articles on my old blog:

As you will no doubt note my natural medium is not the visual but the written or maybe the auditory but nonetheless I attempted to put some of my papers in a condensed video format. Also featured are some ambient piano playing and chats about orgonomy. My favourite music is ambient classical such as Einaudi and ambient electronica such as Abakus. Enjoy my attempts at conversation and musical inerludes!

MY OLD WEBSITE: ORGONE CONTINUUM
There are some articles on my old website, now archived on Archive.org (what a fantastic resource!) that are available nowhere else (fortunately perhaps!) such as my short stories and some info on orgone-acupuncture that hasn’t made it across yet. Here is a link. You can click on links within my snapshot at Archive.org, such as Essays to go to work there. Some of the snapshots didn’t capture all the pictures.
Under the Essays Tab on old site: ETs and the Lotus Sutra, Orgone Bio-Economics, Good and Evil, Y Factor 1 and 2, Reich and Freud, Orgonomy and Viruses, Mass Psychology of Covid, Mass Psychology of Illuminati, Oranur Communication, Comedy: MAZI party, All Seeing Eye 1 and 2 (Kier Starmer stars in a comedy/short story), The Three AI’s (comedy/short story), Book of Revelation and Truth Movement (similarities between truth movement and Book of Revelation). Kate Bush (analysis of orgonomic references in her song about cloudbusting). The main essays here were also put in my Collected Writings book (see first section in this Substack for books).
Fiction
Apart from my few short stories under the Essays tab on my old website (at Archive, see above) I also wrote a sci-fi fantasy-realism novel, using bio-energetic and consciousness themes for young adults..
Danny and Abhay are two psychic, disabled kids living in supported care in Liverpool. Join them in their battle against the evil space creature the Elif, the top secret PSI agency and its sinister leader, Alistair B. Civil. They befriend assorted spirits and inter-dimensional entities as they travel through dimensions and towards the end of the world! A fantasy sci-fi novel for 14 yr olds upwards.
Danny is a disabled teenager. He just wants a body that works and a girlfriend. What he gets is a part in a dirty inter-dimensional war. Alistair is Danny’s ‘employer’. He is the congenial officer of a secret psychic agency. His best friend is the evil space entity, the Elif. He doesn’t have Danny’s best interests at heart, or much of a heart for that matter. Danny and Abhay are just two psychic teenagers caught in the cross-fire between warring inter-dimensional factions with no way out. In this game everyone works for someone, or something else. Danny has few friends to rely on apart from his best friend Abhay, a young librarian, a gang of assorted spirits and some rather intellectual animals. The Earth herself is under attack and Danny isn’t anyone’s idea of a hero...
Elif Chronicles (smashwords.com)
Great post! I've been researching orgone and tinkering with it on and off for a long time since purchasing the device called the beamer long ago and feeling the effects from it! I've also spoken about it on my podcast, The Energetic Agriculture Podcast.
