What is the hardest thing of all ?
That which seems the easiest

For your eyes to see,
That which lies before your eyes.

                                           
  – Goethe


orgone accumulatorNuclear technology of death from the tribe of Einstein, Oppenheimer, Sakharov and Teller was deployed in the desert in July of 1945 at Alamogordo, New Mexico. Within two years of the advent of this realization of the death formula E = MC2, the living planet Earth was being reconnoitered by unknown numbers of aliens whose origins, purposes and intents remain a mystery. Whether as guardians, brothers, predators, scavengers, parasites, landlords or foemen – the space creatures have been observed (along with their craft) continuously since the beginning of atomic explosions on Earth.

Not proving (there is no “proof”) a causal relationship between atomic explosions on Earth and the advent of UFO sightings, the coincidental relationship is there. It is “proved” that atomic explosions begin to occur in July of 1945. It is “proved” that reports of observations of flying saucers and other UFOs are being received in unprecedented numbers by the “authorities” commencing no later than June of 1947.

Let’s look at an experiment which had as its goal the relationship between the living energy of life and the nuclear technology of death. To possibly utilize the effects of Orgone Energy upon the human organism as an antidote to nuclear radiation sickness was ostensibly the goal of the Oranur Experiment. (Oranur = Orgone Anti-Nuclear).

IN THIS ARTICLE, THE AUTHOR IMPLIES NO HEALING OR BENEFICAL EFFECT OR PROPERTIES FROM ORGONE ENERGY, ORGONE ENERGY ACCUMULATORS OR DEVICES. FOR HISTORICAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY IS THE STORY OF THE ORANUR EXPERIMENT BEING TOLD.

Friday, January 5, 1951: Wilhelm Reich M.D. puts one milligram of pure radium inside a 20 layer Orgone Energy Accumulator. For five hours the radium remains inside the life energy charging device. During the next seven days the process is repeated for one hour per day; the one milligram of pure radium is placed inside the 20 layer Orgone Accumulator. On Friday, January 12, the radium was removed from the Orgone charging device after only one half hour and the experiment was stopped

It was on the last day of the experiment that the most dramatic effect occurred. The observers were outside the student’s laboratory where the metal lined Orgone Room housing the powerful 20 layer Orgone Energy Accumulator was located. While one experimental milligram of pure radium served as a control and was kept far away in an unused building on Reich’s 280 acre farm; the other milligram of pure radium was placed inside the life energy charging device. We must remember that there was a war going on, the Korean War, and Reich and his associates were conducting this research partly in response to the threat of a nuclear conflict demanding some sort of antidote to radiation sickness. Therefore the experiment had as its goal the discovery of a possible anti-nuclear property of the newly discovered Life Energy.

 Orgone Accumulator

The “normal” background count of “radioactivity” at Reich’s laboratory in Western Maine where a dozen people lived and worked was 30 – 50 counts per minute measured on the big 4096 Tracerlab Autoscaler. The background of radioactivity within an Orgone Accumulator measured with a portable SU-5 Tracerlab Survey Meter, type 6C5, was 40 – 70 cpm. In other words, with no nuclear material present, the concentration of Life Energy within a charging device caused the Geiger Counter to give a higher reading; about 40 % higher.

Once the Oranur Experiment had started; once the concentrated Life Energy had been exposed to the radioactive nuclear material – the background count at Reich’s laboratory climbed to approx. 80 cpm and would not immediately subside even when the nuclear material was removed from the Orgone Accumulator.

The radioactivity of a one milligram unit of radium had been calibrated at 16,000 cpm (8.3 Roentgens per hour). This was done in New York City, away from the highly charged atmosphere of Reich’s setup near Rangeley, Maine. The two units of Radium arrived on Jan. 5, 1951 and immediately they were measured unshielded at one centimeter distance and gave a reading of 254,760 cpm in the highly charged atmosphere near the various Orgone Accumulators. One milligram unit was secured as a control and not exposed further to the charging effect of the Orgone devices. The other milligram was placed inside the 20 layer Orgone Accumulator in the metal lined Orgone Room in the student’s laboratory. While the radium was within the charging device, accurate measurement was not possible because the instrument, the SU-5 Survey Meter would either race right off the scale or go completely dead. Away from the active experiment, the instrument resumed normal operation.

The fateful Friday, January 12 – again the milligram of pure radium is placed inside the Life Energy device and again the observers feel the amplified radiation effects: severe nausea, loss of equilibrium, pressure in the forehead, sensations of fainting, severe headache, hot and cold flashes, severe belching: all these symptoms were observed and experienced by the one dozen or so physicians and technicians present during the 5 month course of the experiment. Additionally each observer was affected by a recurrence of any old or dormant injury or disease condition varying according to each individual’s weakest spot. It was as if the effect of the reaction of the concentrated Life Energy to the nuclear irritant was to attack each living organism in its weakest area (a converse relationship to the observed pattern of the effect of a “normal” Orgone Accumulator which seemed to strengthen or benefit the weak areas within the Organism; of course for our purposes there is no healing, beneficial or medical implication here).

The last time that the radium was placed inside the 20 layer Accumulator was to prove so dramatic that for fear of possible consequences, the experiment was stopped. The observers (Wilhelm Reich, Dr. Simon Tropp & others) were standing outside in the cold afternoon of January 12. They could see through the large picture windows the atmosphere inside the student’s lab become clouded within minutes after they had placed the unshielded milligram of radium inside the Life Energy charger. The clouded atmosphere was starting to move visibly and was shining blue and purple 1 The men became quite ill from nausea, loss of balance, cramps in the stomach – all this from one milligram of radium over 300 feet distant. Never before had symptoms of radiation sickness been so strong or had they been felt at such a great distance from the physical setup of the experiment.


http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/imagenes_ciencia/reich04_05.jpg


The experiment was stopped in that the radioactive material was no longer placed inside the Life Energy charging device. The effects from the experiment continued and they intensified. It was quite unbearable to be near any Orgone Accumulator on the premises. It was as if the Oranur effect had spread and affected all of the Life Energy charging devices located at Reich’s extensive laboratory comprising two large and several smaller buildings. All of the Orgone devices exhibited exorbitantly high Geiger counter readings and produced symptoms of radiation sickness in nearby observers. A large batch of 30 experimental mice died from exposure to this Orgone Anti-Nuclear effect even though the mice were never physically close to arty nuclear material. Thorough autopsies on the mice revealed a leukemia-like blood picture.

The reaction seemed to be self-sustaining and was spreading. In response to the severity of the Oranur effect, all of the Orgone Accumulators were physically dismantled and their component parts were separated. The metal lined Orgone Room was dismantled. This measure of turning off the Orgone Accumulators (there is no switch to an Orgone device); this dismantling of the Orgone devices seemed to reduce the background counts of radioactivity from their levels of 80 cpm and above. It was noticed that reassembling even one Orgone charging device would immediately cause the background radiation measurements to approximately double. The experimental radium was secured within its 1/2” lead shield and placed inside a 4” steel and concrete safe located in a small wooden building some distance from the main laboratory.

What had been learned from this experiment? Basically, the presence of a stong concentration of Orgone Energy seems to amplify and magnify the radiation from a nuclear source. The New York Times reported on February 3, 1951 of an Atomic Energy Commission announcement of an increase in background radiation comprising an area of 600 miles in radius with its approximate center located Northern New England. It is likely that Reich’s Oranur Experiment with one milligram of radium had affected an area of 1,130,900 square miles.

On April 15, Reich decided to check on the experimental one milligram of radium which was still housed in its 1/2” lead shield inside the 4” thick steel and concrete safe. At a distance of 40 centimeters from the safe wall the reading was a fantastic 20,000 cpm on the SU-5 Survey meter. Reich was fearful of the radium and the continuing Oranur effect. He placed a group of mice in a cage quite near the safe housing the radium and waited for several days. The experimental mice remained in perfect health even though the radiation counts were abnormally high. It was as if the Oranur effect had changed and was no longer harmful even though the Geiger counter gave high readings.

Now Reich made a daring move that was to yield a rich harvest of new knowledge: He opens the safe and takes a measurement of the interior space inside the safe – the reading is over 100,000 cpm. He removed the milligram of radium from the steel and concrete safe and rushed it to the main laboratory. Here he measured it with the big and sensitive 4096 Tracerlab Autoscaler with a countertube of a mica window thickness of 2.3 mg/cm2 as opposed to the SU-5 Survey Meter with its countertube of a mica window thickness of 30 mg/cm2 wall thickness. (This means the 4096 Autoscaler was approx ten times more sensitive than the SU-5 Survey Meter) At a distance of one centimeter with no shielding the milligram of radium gave a reading of only 30,000 cpm! To explain this puzzling observation it was slowly realized that the 4” steel and concrete safe acted as an Orgone Accumulator itself due to its layering of steel and the organic material of concrete.

The nuclear radioactivity was confined within its lead shielding but the Orgone Energy was not confined, since the Life Energy passes through all materials – only at different speeds. Thus there was not a strong Oranur reaction when the nuclear material was within lead shielding inside the safe. The Oranur reaction was controlled as it were. The Orgone Energy could affect the nuclear source since the Orgone passed through lead; the radium could not irritate the concentrated Orgone field because the radiation was stopped by lead. Perhaps a way had been found to denature the harmful effects of the nuclear material. By placing the nuclear source first in lead shielding; and then placing the lead container within an Orgone Accumulator – in this way the Orgone Energy can get at the nuclear material but the radioactive material cannot affect the Orgone. After this process had been carried out for a period of time (months), a diminuation effect was noted in the reaction of the Orgone treated nuclear material on exposure to a strong Life Energy field.

In the next article we will discuss Reich’s invention of the cloudbuster to combat an unexpected side effect of the Oranur Experiment; and we will examine use of this denatured milligram of radium (ORUR) to amplify the effect of the cloudbuster.

A more complete history of the Oranur Experiment is found in Selected Writings by Wilhelm Reich, published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux ISBN 0-374-50197-1. Briefly: the Oranur Experiment illustrated the nature of radiation sickness as being a reaction of the Life Energy against the nuclear irritant. Shielding is not possible against the Oranur effect because Orgone Energy penetrates all matter. Once the Oranur effect begins, it spreads in a chain reaction fashion to infect areas not originally exposed to the nuclear material. The Oranur effect produces symptoms of radiation sickness generally and within individuals reactivates any latent disease or weakness found in each particular organism. There are possibilities of antidotal uses of the Oranur effect as a preventive measure to “inoculate” the organism against radiation sickness such as might be expected in nuclear war. Of course we realize that these medical implications are being discussed for experimental purposes only in the light of historical curiosity in our examination of Reich’s most famous experiment. In no way is it suggested that anyone try to replicate this dangerous experiment!

Thus with the living planet Earth, the atomic explosions inaugurated by Oppenheimer and his ilk in 1945 have initiated an Oranur effect extending far out into space. From Reich’s pioneering efforts, we know that the Oranur effect does not follow the inverse square law of radiation propagation. The concentrated Life Energy reaction against one milligram of radium was reported to extend for 600 miles. A small 1945 atomic blast of 20 Kilotons released 500,000 Roentgens of gamma radiation in .01 seconds. In the same time, a milligram of radium releases .000023055 Roentgens of gamma. The distance for the Oranur effect from the milligram of radium was 600 miles. A proportional distance from the 500,000 Roentgens (Oranur effect, not inverse square wave propagation) is two light years. From this rough calculation, we can expect other inhabitants of our larger environment who are more attuned to Life Energy functions – we can expect others to take notice from a long ways away of our malicious nuclear technology.

What is Reiki? How to Learn Energy Healing


What is Reiki?
How to Learn Energy Healing
  
Caduceus by R. Ayana


A Brief Overview


Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an “attunement” given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of “life force energy” to improve one’s health and enhance the quality of life.

Its use is not dependent on one’s intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures. During a meditation several years after developing Reiki, Dr. Usui decided to add the Reiki Ideals to the practice of Reiki. 

The Ideals came in part from the five principles of the Meiji emperor of Japan whom Dr. Usui admired. The Ideals were developed to add spiritual balance to Usui Reiki. Their purpose is to help people realize that healing the spirit by consciously deciding to improve oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki healing experience. In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for her or his healing and take an active part in it. Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki energy. It must also include an active commitment to improve oneself in order for it to be a complete system. The ideals are both guidelines for living a gracious life and virtues worthy of practice for their inherent value.


The secret art of inviting happiness
The miraculous medicine of all diseases
Just for today, do not anger
Do not worry and be filled with gratitude
Devote yourself to your work. Be kind to people.
Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer.
Pray these words to your heart
and chant these words with your mouth
Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind
 
 
~ The founder, Usui Mikao



Reiki: A Healing Touch

 

Reiki


by Bernard Starr, Ph.D


It doesn’t look like much is happening. But people who receive the treatment report positive and sometimes striking results. I’m talking about Reiki, a healing treatment in the growing field of “energy medicine.”

Proponents say that energy medicine techniques balance the subtle vibrational fields which are believed to surround and interpenetrate the human form. While the specifics of energy medicine are sometimes hazy, there is underlying supportive and plausible scientific theory. Fact is, our bodies are made up of cells that on a deeper level contain elementary particles that emit electromagnetic forces. On a micro level, our bodies are energy in motion. Some health futurists say that down the line most medicine will be noninvasive manipulations of our energy fields.

That being said, to what extent do we currently understand these forces? Can they be safely accessed and combined with conventional medical care?

To answer some of these questions, I spent an afternoon with Pamela Miles, a leading Reiki master who recently published the first mainstream book about Reiki (“Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide,” Tarcher/Penquin 2006), suggesting that Reiki is catching on. I was impressed by Pamela’s work in prestigious medical and university settings, which also reflects a sea change in attitudes toward integrating noninvasive, subtle therapies into conventional medicine.

Here is my interview with Pamela aimed at getting the basics of Reiki.

Question: Pamela, what is Reiki?

Answer: Reiki is a spiritual or vibrational healing practice that promotes balance on every level — body, mind and spirit. Reiki treatment is offered through noninvasive, light touch to a clothed recipient.

Q. Describe how a Reiki session proceeds.

A. In a formal session, the recipient lies fully clothed on a treatment table, covered by a blanket if desired. Traditionally, the practitioner places hands lightly on the head and the front and back of the torso, with hand placements varying somewhat among different practitioners. Treatment usually lasts between 45 and 90 minutes, although in a hospital it is typically 15 to 20 minutes.

Q. What is its origin?

A. Reiki practice began with the teachings of Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1920s. One of his close students, Chujiro Hayashi, was a medical doctor retired from naval service. Hayashi simplified the healing practices and helped his student, Mrs. Hawayo Takata, bring Reiki to the U.S. in 1938. Reiki is now practiced throughout the world.

Q. How is Reiki related to spirituality?

A. Reiki is a healing practice that enables people to access their own unique spirituality without dogma. Asian spirituality and medicine are intertwined; health is not seen as merely a lack of disease. Rather, spiritual development is valued as a cornerstone of overall health.

Q. How does Reiki compare or relate to other techniques that manipulate energy?

A. Actually, Reiki practitioners do not manipulate or direct energy. They merely provide a connection through which the healing pulsations called Reiki activate spontaneously according to the need of the receiver. Reiki practitioners remain passive during treatment. Although Reiki is healing, it is not medicine in the sense that it is not directed toward a specific goal. No diagnosis is needed, and the treatment plan is the same for every condition. Reiki is much subtler than other energy techniques, more akin to meditation than to energy medicine, and could be thought of as applied meditation. The actual experience of Reiki is usually quite meditative.

Q. What can Reiki do for someone?

A. Reiki is balancing, so it can theoretically help anyone in any situation. Since we all have our own ways of being unbalanced, the benefits of Reiki treatment are different for people at different times. But since we are usually unbalanced in the direction of stress, people commonly experience Reiki as stress-reducing, and there is increasing scientific evidence of this. Commonly reported benefits are improvements in sleep, digestion, mental clarity and overall well-being.

Q. What can’t it do?

A. Rather than say what Reiki can’t do, I would caution people to use their common sense. In an emergency, if you are Reiki-trained, dial 911 with one hand and offer Reiki with the other. You can safely use Reiki with any medical intervention or during any medical procedure. If you are on medication, it’s important to be monitored in case your need for medication changes. For example, diabetics often need less medication once they start receiving Reiki or practicing Reiki self-treatment.

Q. What evidence is there that Reiki works?

A. A few of the small studies that have been done so far have showed promising results for using Reiki to reduce stress, anxiety and pain. The data include objective measures (decreased stress hormones, improved immune indicators, decreased heart rate and improved blood pressure) as well as subjective improvements in anxiety and pain. One study showed benefits to people being treated for depression, and the improvements held when the participants were tested a year later. The National Institutes of Health currently has five research projects studying Reiki’s effect on stress, fibromyalgia, AIDS, prostate cancer, and diabetic neuropathy and coronary risk factors.

Q. Tell us about your successes in working with Reiki.

A. I have created Reiki programs in prominent New York City hospitals. Several years ago, through the nonprofit Institute for the Advancement of Complementary Therapies, I created a funded program that offers Reiki to outpatients at St. Vincent Hospital’s Comprehensive Cancer Center. The responses to our evaluation surveys are heartening. Approximately 95 percent of the patients who reported having anxiety or pain before receiving Reiki treatment said that their level of anxiety or pain was reduced after the treatment.

Q. How is it accepted in these settings?

A. On the basis of absence of risk and strong anecdotal evidence, Reiki is increasingly accepted in conventional medical settings, and is offered at prestigious hospitals around the country, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital (New York City), M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston), George Washington University Hospital (Washington, D.C.), California Pacific Medical Center (San Francisco), Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Boston) and Yale/New Haven Hospital (New Haven, Conn.). I have created five Reiki programs in prominent New York City hospitals and have published a Reiki review paper in the peer-reviewed medical journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine (March 2003).

Q. How do conventional physicians react to Reiki?

A. My experience has been very positive and rewarding. When Reiki is explained without making claims in language that is meaningful to physicians, they quickly see how valuable it can be for their patients and to themselves. Reiki can relieve anxiety and pain and strengthen a patient’s sense of well-being that is deeper than the disease. When patients feel better, they function better and are more likely to follow their medical protocols. Although chemotherapy kills the cancer cells, Reiki can be the therapy that enables a patient to stay healthy enough to receive the full course of treatment and make other needed lifestyle changes. Reiki can help a patient turn a life challenge into a healing passage.

Q. Can anyone do Reiki?

A. People of any age or state of health, who have the interest, can learn to practice in a class taught by a qualified Reiki master. The degree of competence developed will depend on how diligently the student practices. I have taught parents and young children — the children are often the ones to remind their moms of Reiki when there’s a kitchen accident or family illness. My oldest student was a Holocaust survivor in her early 90s. Reiki’s soothing touch is useful to people at every stage of life.


Complements by  R. Ayana
Q. What training is required?

A. You can only learn to practice Reiki from a qualified Reiki master. This is not a practice to be learned from a book or the Internet. I wrote my book about Reiki not to teach people how to practice but to help them understand the benefits of Reiki, and to provide guidance in finding a credible local practitioner. I also emphasize the importance of practicing consistently for learning self-treatment. First-degree practice is facilitated by light touch and is best learned in approximately eight to 12 hours of in-person class time. Other levels of practice require additional training.

Q. Can Reiki be self-administered?

A. Definitely. Reiki is equally effective in self-treatment or when received from someone else, regardless of one’s state of mental or physical health. I started teaching people with AIDS at Gay Men’s Health Crisis in New York City in the early 1990s and have trained people facing a wide range of other conditions, including cancer, fibromyalgia, heart disease, insomnia, panic attacks, epilepsy, diabetes, irritable bowel, depression, bipolar disorder, and recovery from surgery, injury, and abuse or trauma. Although Reiki can help people with any medical condition, it’s wise to start using Reiki while one is still healthy to help strengthen well-being rather to wait for disease to strike. But when there is a medical condition, learning Reiki self-treatment can enhance well-being, reduce side effects of medication, and speed recovery. Reiki provides an easy transition to a more healthful lifestyle.

Q. Any dangers?

A. Reiki has no known medical contraindications and can be safely combined with any medical or complementary therapy. I have administered Reiki during birth, at death, and in just about every intervening situation. Especially when arduous medical treatment is needed to address serious illness, Reiki can help care for the person while physicians focus their attention on the disease. However, since there is no standardization in Reiki training or treatment, it’s wise to question a Reiki practitioner before signing up for treatment or training with someone who claims to be a Reiki professional.

Q. What questions should be posed to a practitioner?

A. Ask about the practitioner’s training (with whom, how long, when) and experience (how many years, in what settings). Ask what the treatment will be like — it should be gentle touch primarily to the head and torso while you are fully clothed and lying or sitting comfortably. Beware a practitioner who makes promises or offers a diagnosis.

Prior to the interview, I received a Reiki treatment from Pamela and her assistant. It was a pleasant, relaxing and meditative 45 minutes. I definitely felt energized and renewed afterward. I can’t attest to any lasting effects, since it was one treatment. But I think it’s worth experiencing and learning more about Reiki. My guess is Reiki will get increasing attention in the coming years.
