The Terrible Twos

And The Talking Suitcase

This month has been one of beginnings and endings, very suitable for Janus of January, the two-faced god of the month. The orgone consciousness experiments were finished last year just before Christmas day and I finished writing them up about a week ago. So two endings. Hopefully they’ll be published soon. To accompany the formal articles will be the full session accounts of the participants which will go up here on Substack at the same time hopefully. The next instalment of ‘My Orgone Story’ starts below about halfway through this post.

This month I’ve been reading a biography of a classical musical family from Nottingham, the Kanneh-Masons that my Mum gave me. Incidentally, Nottingham is where I lived as a teenager and also where the only journal in orgonomy, immediately after Reich’s death, was printed by Paul Ritter and his wife, Jean - Orgonomic Functionalism. I’ve also been reading Plato’s Republic.

Thought I’d better have a look at the Republic seeing as it is a foundational text for the West. Maybe our civilisation is secretly governed by an elite group of specially bred and educated ‘Philosopher Kings’? Or maybe they’ve degenerated into the ’Anti-Philosophy’ Kings? That sounds more likely. That is something Plato also foresaw interestingly. He was actually doing a thought experiment though to find what was the true nature of morality and whether morality or its opposite, creates true happiness. Politics wasn’t his aim. Plato, talking through his literary character, Socrates, defines morality as the correct ‘self-government’ of the ‘mind’. He sought to explore it further by expanding the self context into whole theoretical societies and seeing how moral or immoral these were, and how happy or otherwise they consequently became. Like Reich he talked about characters, the democratic character or the plutocratic one for example.

His ideal Philosopher King society however inevitably degrades into rule by those governed merely by passions, which degrades further into rule by the manipulated masses - democracy as he saw it (of which he wasn’t a fan). This then degrades even further into plutocracy and then finally dictatorship (where we are rescued from the plutocrats by a saviour who turns out to be just another psychopath). And at last there is the death of the society. That’s happened a few times!

Just like the New Testament, the last chapter is abruptly different than the rest of the text. Instead of eulogising rational self-government he goes on a really wild account of a massive Near Death Experience of a soldier who was dead for a whole 10 days in Ancient Greece. The hero recounted just how terrible it is to not be moral when you finally get into the afterlife and then the next cycle of reincarnation (of one’s indestructible mind). Plato’s given reason for the eternity of the mind or soul is perhaps the most original I’ve encountered. All things have a corresponding thing which degrades and obliterates them. For example with iron, it is rust. But the mind is degraded by immorality (which is lack of proper self-government). However, this degradation fails to affect the reality of the mind’s actual existence. Hence, minds are eternal and indestructible.

Plato is also very sarcastic, sceptical of everything, presages Kant and Marx in various interesting ways. At points I did even wonder if the whole of the Republic was actually satire. Perhaps I’ve read too much Joseph Atwill (who thinks that the Roman empire wrote the New Testament as satire). There was a flavour of the book of Revelation in the last chapter of the Republic interestingly. Plato also anticipates George Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984. He loves comparing human societies to animals, usually unfavourably (for the humans!). He also, very usefully, works out that a Philosopher King is exactly 729 times happier than a dictator!

One of the reasons I suspected satire was that Plato keeps on explicitly quoting things he disapproves of (via his lead character, Socrates). For example he thinks poetry as representation is pretty bad and much of Homer should be banned from the view of the precious Philosopher-King/Guardians (who are to be raised like a bunch of prize horses). Anything that inculcates wrong attitudes of mind or lack of courage and philosopher-ness is to be banned from their consumption. On the one hand he does have a point that the mind fed on a diet of bad media will reflect that which it consumes, but on the other hand I think he is taking the Michael. This is because he goes to such lengths to outline the exact quotes he would cut. And he knows that the society he is in likes nothing more than Homer and his epic poetry about naughty gods and crazy humans doing sassy stuff. It is like saying Coronation Street is really, really bad for you. Don’t watch it, especially that latest episode, with Ken Barlow. And Rita Tanner was terrible. You know what she said? And so on.

The Republic is also a foundational philosophy book that is actually written in the style of a modern soap opera or sitcom. I think he presaged that too. He doesn’t seem too big on Reich’s idea of self-regulation though. Or maybe he is, just it is well hidden. Minds need guidance to focus on the ‘good’ and not get too carried away by the world of appearances (or even the appearance of appearances, like in the famous cave). The prisoner who frees himself and then goes back out of compassion is actually Plato himself I think. Plato also makes friends again with poetry at the end of the Republic which is not oft noted (as long as poetry and representation points in the direction of the ‘good’). I wonder what Plato would make of abstract art?

Anyway, from an orgonomic viewpoint it is interesting that the Greek idea of life-force and the soul uses the same word for mind, psukhē, which became our psyche eventually I would guess. My central argument is that orgone itself is conscious and that this is the ‘missing link’ in orgonomy. Orgonomy came first from the study of the mind of course.

Experimentally, I continue to work on examining the oranur ‘rumble’. It can change its upper frequency bands and is almost seeming to ‘talk’ with its seemingly purposeful timing and length of rumble episodes. More on this in the forthcoming paper. It also seems to be rather fond of the number 32. Not just another note in the wall, it could be said (this came to mind as the video for Another Brick in the Wall has a teenager wearing the number 32 prominently). The main band of sound is at 32 Hz.

I almost forgot, the whole reason I’ve titled this post The Terrible Two’s is that within little more than 24 hours of posting my new years post on January 1st (with the predictive oranur numbers for the year), it started to come true. I’m really glad I didn’t hang around. I put the ‘pivot’ number of the 7 oranur-dowsed numbers for 2026 as ‘2’. Trump’s number was in the second place of the seven (47). In the early hours of the third of January a special forces team, that were using exotic energy weapons, disarmed and killed many of the elite guard around Maduro and kidnapped him and his wife (they kidnapped TWO people). That exotic weapons were used was confirmed by Trump in an interview. It was a warning to other states. This was also the beginning of another ‘TWO’. The recommencement of the Monroe military doctrine, now known as MonDon doctrine.

The Trump administration realises that the proxy war with Russia, that the previous gang started back in about 2014, has been lost by NATO. When has anyone beaten Russia? Why even try? The new group doesn’t really care about Europe anymore and it can’t defeat China. So it is going to concentrate on dominating the western hemisphere instead (the MonDon doctrine). Not only will Trump be making America great again but he’ll make Greenland, Canada and most of South America great too! What could possibly go wrong?! In the meantime Europe can blow itself up fighting Russia if it so wishes and perhaps one will let the Middle East continue to blaze so as to get more leverage on the Chinese (over oil).

I noticed something strange with the predictive oranur year numbers. The 2025 numbers and 2026 numbers are related. Here are the 2026 numbers:

26, 47, 2, 2, 6, 13, 55.

Notice the ‘pivot’ number in the middle (the second 2). Trump’s number is in the SECOND place (47). But last year the pivot number was 3 and Trump’s number appeared again but in the THIRD place.

The 2025 numbers:

12, 12, 47, 3, 4, 2, 5.

So this implies that there is a gradual process and that presumably Trump will be in the number ONE slot by next year, whatever that may mean. The 2025 numbers also implied a step by step process (with a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 hidden within them).

I added in some oranur mechanical numbers (derived via a subtle energy wheel device) for 2026. These seem to have already predicted something. The Maduro kidnap occurred on the 3rd. The first of the mechanical numbers for 2026 was 3.

The oranur-mechanical, wheel numbers for 2026 were:

3, 23.

The western media cannot be trusted on Iran, it is very censored and totally dishonest. Perhaps millions protested FOR their government. This is never mentioned. Hundreds of security personnel and policemen were shot often at point blank range. Lots of mosques were set on fire and health facilities torched both with Iranians actually inside them. Would ordinary Iranians do that? Or the Iranian police? The last thing the Iranian government wants to do is justify another attack. It was stated publicly that there were lots of agents and controlled groups inside Iran under outside control. If you can’t bomb (too mountainous) or invade a country (too well defended) into submission the next best thing is a colour revolution. It hasn’t worked - yet. I heard someone on western mainstream media saying the sanctions are the most compassionate approach to Iran. Yes, taking kids food away is just fine - and denying people healthcare.

The next instalment in ‘My Orgone Story’ brings us up to when the oranur box was ‘conceived’..

Part #2

..What was to become the oranur box wasn’t yet born. After the orgone-acupuncture study in 2000 myself and my research friend Kevin Gleave, set up a few teaching sessions at a local university (Salford) in their new complementary therapies department (since closed down). Again, this seemed strange because the new department seemed to be doing rather well. Anyhow, myself and Kevin did a few teaching sessions there about the orgone-acupuncture accumulator and orgone-acupuncture DORbuster (negative orgone removal) boxes in the early days of the department. One of the students started an undergraduate thesis based on orgone inspired by us but I never got to speak to him during the planning phase and his study didn’t get significance I believe. I had not seen his emails sadly. My inbox was (even more) chaotic in those days. This is not because I am particularly popular but rather due to my electronic untidiness!

The acupuncture DORBuster box was amazing. A big 2 to 3-foot square box with a large tub of water inside and a battery-operated fan which moved the water. A copper spiral went into the water. Acupuncture points were connected via wires to the spiral and water. It was very strong, too strong for English people generally, including me. People feel a nice, cool flowing sensation that is very relaxing from the acupuncture DORBuster (DB), often going along a channel or meridian. The acupuncture accumulator box (ORAC) on the other hand has a warm tingly sensation (Prof Senf found the same thing in the late 1970s incidentally with his simpler devices).

The big double box set up (ORAC and DB) had four sets of jack-plug connections on each box so 4 people could have a double treatment (orgone and DORBusting) at the same time. The double-box set-up worked very well when Kevin took the devices to East Africa (Tanzania, Dar-Es-Salaam University helped) and the Australian outback, (Gibson Desert, Perth University). In Australia particularly, whole native families would come for treatments often falling asleep together, curled up in a group. People reported spontaneously giving up substance dependence afterwards.

I think the native Australians and Africans generally have higher energy levels than Europeans because they can tolerate the acupuncture DB much more. It tends to wipe Europeans out. Or maybe it is more to do with the climate I don’t know, it being hot and dry in those countries. Perhaps that enables the DB to be better tolerated. The acu ORAC would also be stronger in those countries too balancing the DB perhaps. Acupuncture without orgone devices has a natural balancing effect, it automatically chooses between Qi accumulating and Qi dispersal (which is similar to DORBusting). This is very advanced technology for that reason in my view. I’ve not been able to mimic these automatic effects satisfactorily. The orgone boxes override the natural balancing to some extent. Which can be good if someone is very deficient or very over-charged.

Sometimes people would have cathartic or even psychic experiences when hooked up to the double boxes in England. The orgone boxes were used with acupuncture for some years at a drug-rehab centre near Liverpool. One time a guy was connected to the double box and did some meditation at the same time. He was unhappily estranged from his wife and child. He sent his ex-wife loving thoughts in that state. The next day she phoned him and he started seeing his child again.

One time, in the grand old tradition of experimenting on oneself and one’s loved ones, I did an early psychic experiment on my then wife. I didn’t know it was a psychic experiment at the time. I thought I was investigating orgone-acupuncture’s effects on armouring (muscular and psychic ‘armour’ put in place as a barrier against pain). I think this was well before my interest in the ‘missing’ area of orgonomy – orgone and consciousness (this started about 2015 or 2016 I think). Anyway, I had inherited a modest sum of money from my step-mother to buy out my portion of her and my Dad’s flat in Hampstead. He was in the early stages of dementia. He had been a heavy drinker all his life and had had considerable stress. I think he may also have been an undiagnosed depressive – despite being a founder of a psychoanalytical school. His flat was the equivalent of a microwave oven too from all the phones and devices, the flat above and below were the same. People think that they are immune to microwaves for some strange reason.

Anyway, my step-mum was thinking ahead, and I ended up with a modest sum at that point in time, rather than a bigger sum later on. But I had young kids and it enabled me to pay off debts, buy a family car and start a small business in acupuncture. I also had a large orgone cabinet made with the money. It cost £1000 to build and was put together by a guy called Bob Bows who made alternative energy devices in Yorkshire in his spare time. His wife had been able to overcome a small breast tumour using an orgone blanket and this had inspired him to make subtle energy devices for other people: from orgone cabinets to colloidal silver generators.

I had my first Citroen C5 estate when I picked it up. A big car perfect for hauling stuff around. The orgone cabinet was a good size even for a human accumulator, 5 ½ foot by 2 and a ½ foot. The 6 multi-layered panels could be taken apart for transport. I don’t know if it was the way I stacked them in the back of the C5 but the energy charge in the car was so strong it ‘pushed’ the engine and I would have to brake at stop lights to prevent the car from moving, it was quite disconcerting.

So this large orgone box lived in our dining room for quite some years. And, as I was saying earlier, I had the experimental idea to see if it could break down armouring ‘instantly’. I was young (ish) and foolish (well more so), I wouldn’t try this now. Anyhow, I had persuaded my then wife to sit in the box, then I ‘overloaded’ her meridian channel system by doing lots of acupuncture points. I then connected her up to the orgone-acupuncture box as well! No wonder she divorced me! Anyhow the energy was so strong it flipped her into an altered state and she ‘jumped’ into a past life where she was being dragged down into a pit by an Egyptian demon! She started screaming for her very life. I didn’t try that one again!

Mostly I just used the cabinet to charge up drinking water. The kids used it to play games and shut each other in (fortunately the door had a viewing window and no lock). Eventually the box was put in the garage then about Spring 2017 I took it to my place in Cheshire where I started the oranur experiments (ORANUR is an acronym from ORgone Against NUcleaR). The summer of 2017 happened to be about 66 years and 6 months since Reich’s original oranur experiment in the winter of 1951 (January). I didn’t know that at the time.

I wanted to replicate Reich’s oranur experiment of 1951. This was because it had occurred to me that orgone’s relationship to consciousness was the key missing area of orgonomy. It was the one thing Reich had not outlined at all (although he had tried somewhat). He had detailed orgone and emotions; and microbiology; and health; and the environment and the cosmos, even its relationship to electricity (although he kept that partly secret). Amazing work for a mere 30 years. But he hadn’t found its relationship to consciousness. The consciousness theory he speculated on was incomplete and partly wrong I felt. His theory was known as part-perception. In philosophical terms, it was a ‘materialist’ or perhaps ‘dualist’ systems theory view of the evolution of self-consciousness. (I explain more about this in the forthcoming paper).

His theory was like the Chinese medical view of body consciousness. Each organ is seen to have its own perception which then unites into the overall self-consciousness. Incidentally, did you know that one of the Tellytubbies is named after the consciousness of the Lungs? Po! ‘Shen’ is the mind of the Heart, which is the most important body-mind, more so than the brain, which doesn’t even get its own channel! To increase intelligence one strengthens the Shen - it actually works, like most of Chinese medicine. Suffice it to say for now that Reich’s views on orgone and consciousness, though similar to Chinese medicine, were complex and contradictory. His outlook on consciousness before and after the oranur experiment (which I call his middle and latter periods) are radically different.

The oranur experiment resulted in the highest orgone charges Reich had seen. I knew consciousness was associated with higher orgone levels (organisms maintain a higher charge than their environment) so I wanted to repeat this experiment and thus I started there. I didn’t want to repeat the oranur emergency though that Reich experienced when everyone got ill and there was a radioactive cloud going right up the West Coast, almost to Canada. (A mystery confirmed at the time by the NY Times).

So, I was very cautious. I thought that a high orgone charge was required for oranur effects so I copied this faithfully. I didn’t have an orgone room available like Reich, but I did have a strong orgone cabinet. I put this on its side and then filled it with multiple smaller ORACs, even a suitcase stuffed full of accumulating materials, some 12 devices altogether. At some points, there were metal reflective panels on the wall behind the box too, to increase charge. A year or two later, when the device was living in the centre of Liverpool for a while, a psychoanalysis client having shamanic psychotherapy fell asleep in the room (in which the cabinet was being stored out of view). He said that while asleep, a suitcase had started ‘talking’ to him. He was most impressed with this image. There was an orgone accumulating suitcase inside the cabinet.

The cabinet was in a room inside a very large Georgian house, virtually a mansion, which had multiple practitioners. The manager of the building wasn’t too happy as the energy of the cabinet dominated the entire building she felt (she was quite energy sensitive). Anyway, it didn’t stay there that long but I did notice that energetically, where the cabinet happened to be, was right between the two Liverpool cathedrals and on an energy ley-line to where it is currently (not many people know about this ley-line). The box seems to choose its location, I must say. It even used to affect the weather in Liverpool, making it milder than the surrounding regions one harsh winter in my view. It was there for a few months, perhaps half a year.

Anyway, to return to 2017 approximately. There was a very high charge from this set-up initially. I then very carefully brought a smoke alarm (containing a small amount of radioactive material) nearer the box by about a foot each day. Eventually the alarm was put within the orgone cabinet for some days. After about 3 days the charge was somewhat overwhelming, the energy felt thick and dense. I had to move it out.

The cabinet was therefore moved back to my old place where there was an outside garage (which was some 40-foot from habitation in a separate building). Both at the garage and the first location there were a lot of measurements going on. Temperature measurements (the box raised the ambient temperature of a whole room by about a half to one degree Celsius). This effect is known as TO-T in orgonomy. Electrical measurements were the worst to record. The oranur raises electrical capacitation by a small amount but measuring it is a pain. Geiger count measurements (charged particle counts) and orgone meter measurements (a specially adapted electrical meter Reich invented which measures orgonotic interaction with an electrical circuit) were done. A company called Heliognosis has miniaturized this latter device in Canada. I ahve a very early model.

The most exciting measurement was the Geiger counts which can be seen right away and also the melting Himalyan salt crystals were interesting. High oranur charge causes it to melt. Sometimes rain used to drop on my head – inside the garage! I think the oranur was creating water directly. There was an incident with a material called ORUR (for ORgone treated URanium) where a mysterious water-like liquid was created in a completely sealed container by Reich. Anyhow, sometimes it felt like water just ‘appeared’ out of nowhere during the early days of the experiment.

During the Christmas of 2017 perhaps the most interesting part of the oranur experiment happened quite intuitively. I had been trying to photograph an anomalous blue glow that occurred when static electricity was applied to a plasma ball that had been charged in the oranur cabinet for some time. It was really difficult to capture this fleeting but highly illuminated electric blue phenomena.

Luckily, that year my cousins-in-law were there and one of them happened to have a very good quality camera and to be very handy with it too. I applied the cling film to the plasma ball and then when I removed the film, she managed to capture the resultant blue glow. Some years later when the photos were fully analysed all sorts of paranormal entities were seen within the anomalous blue plasma glows. A couple of papers between myself and the orgone bio-form researcher, Nik Hayes, were written about it and other phenomena, years later (2024).

End of Part #2.

Hopefully the orgone consciousness experiment will be published soon. I will then put the extended accounts (over 20,000 words from 10 in-depth sessions) up here. I look forward to chatting again next month and hope you have a great few weeks. Thanks for reading!
