Studies On “Life-Energy” By Means Of A Quantitative Dowsing Method

.

General Introduction

As is well known, Wilhelm Reich identified a form of energy (“Orgone”), which was favourable to life, and is often equated with the “life-energy” in the human body, otherwise traditionally known as chi, prana, subtle energy, etc.  As later concluded, such energy may very well be equated with quantum coherence, thought by many now to be a sine qua non of life (1). This work is based on a method of dowsing which, being quantitative, could go part way towards fully objective detection.  The main topics covered in this 3-part article are:

 

            - Some artificial and natural sources of orgone, including ormus (the “white gold” of David Hudson);

            - Charging of water with orgone (with proof of charge by UV spectroscopy);

            - Non-local transfer of orgone by quantum entanglement between identical images on paper;

            - Magnesium phosphate takes up ormus and activates its orgone energy;

            - Quantum tunnelling of ormus through solid barriers;

            - Imprinting torsion- and frequency-information on ormus, with suggested use of this in radionic healing.

 

Part I: Quantitative dowsing; Sources dowsed; Charging water (verified by UV spectroscopy); Non-local transmission; Influence of sun.

 

Orgonite

Wilhelm Reich found orgone would accumulate within a box whose walls consisted of alternate layers of metal and organic material, and could then be detected by sensitive persons, or by a variety of physical means. Much more recently, it has been claimed that by merely incorporating metal particles into a non-conductive matrix (usually synthetic resin) one can make a powerful source of orgone. Such material has been called “Orgonite”, and patented by Karl Welz, who makes use of it in his radionic devices(1). There are now a number of web sites concerned with orgonite, some of which claim that it can be used to heal the environment, e.g.(2). Another has much interesting research on the technology(3). A variety of methods were used here: from the initial 26cm resin hollow pyramid packed with Aluminium alloy turnings (Fig. 1) to the small plastic vials packed with wire wool and carnauba wax used later – described in Part III.

 

Other sources

Among the sources from which I have obtained a positive dowsing response are: Large wooden pyramid (Fig. 2); Laser; Rife plasma therapy instrument; Non-inductive coils; Torsion field generator; Magnetite; The healing mineral Shungite – contains carbon as “buckyballs”; Ozonated water; Brown’s gas generator; The human body. As discussed later, many of these might be thought to exhibit large-scale quantum coherence.

 

Uptake of dowsable energy 

Certain materials, notably water and quartz, placed beside any of these sources for some 30min, will become dowsable. These retained the energy for at least several days. Most metals (iron, aluminium, and brass were tested)  took up the charge very rapidly (in seconds), and then retained it for only about a minute. Most other materials were unaffected. Of a number of crystalline chemicals tested, sugar took up some activity, as did Epsom salts, possibly due their high water of crystallization.

 

Quantitative dowsing method  

I place the object to be dowsed on the ground (preferably outside on the lawn) and walk towards it holding dowsing rods. These cross at intervals (indicating an “aura” of a number of rings) and then again finally cross over the source. With a tape-measure on the ground, I record the radius of these rings by noting the distance of my instep from the source. It was predicted by James Lyons ( 4) that the radius of the innermost ring should be related to the intensity of the source.  As a test of this prediction I dowsed measured volumes of  either water charged in the wooden pyramid, or ormus as described in part II. By this test the radius of the innermost ring does seem to be linearly related to the energy of the source (Fig. 3).  All the data to be presented concern this measurement, and are given in inches rather than centimetres.

 

Repeatability, and independent measurements.

While the energy of orgonite varies with the sun (see below) most other sources seem to be fairly constant. I have performed repeated measurements with a variety of sources at different times of day with results shown in Fig.4. One set of measurements (in red) were made independently, and blind, by Adrian Incledon-Webber, who is a professional dowser. (Greater repeatability was achieved later: see Fig. 6)

 

 

Spectroscopic confirmation of non-contact effect of orgonite on water

A small piece of orgonite, in a 25ml plastic vial, was placed beside a ~100ml bottle of water, in the sun for ~2h . The UV spectrum of the water, after zeroing the instrument throughout the spectrum with plain water, shows that subtle energy from orgonite has brought about a considerable difference in absorbance (Fig.5).

 

Non-local transfer of dowsable energy

Karl Welz puts on his web site(2) a logo, which is an identical copy of one which has been printed and placed close to the orgonite block of one of his devices in his place in the US. He invites one to download this and feel the energy. While I could not feel anything, I could dowse it easily enough. In further tests I made a random “glyph” in black ink, copied it, and put one copy under a piece of orgonite, and dowsed the other at some 30 metres distant. The transfer of dowsable energy was obvious (Table 1). On dowsing some other images it was clear that, as Welz maintains, the intensity of transfer depends on the degree of similarity                  of the two images.

With the existence of many copies, the image will of course be less unique, so that one might expect the energy to be correspondingly “diluted”. This was confirmed in the last two lines of the table: an additional ten copies of the  “orb” pattern were made, and kept in the house distant from the orgonite. After dowsing the original image, these copies were burnt, and the original dowsed again.  

 

Non-local transfer between samples of human hair

In radionics one frequently makes use of a clip of hair from the individual being treated: the “witness”. This will have something of the unique signature of that individual. Accordingly I cut two samples of my hair, and compared the transfer between them with the transfer from my hair (RT) to that of another man (Mr X), and vice-versa (Fig. 4). In this case special care was taken to make repeat dowsing by approaching the sample from different directions, so as to minimise the possibility of subconsciously aligning readings to e.g. a particular daisy in the lawn.

 

Relation to weather and time of day

Just as with Reich’s orgone accumulator, the energy of orgonite depends on the weather and the time of day, coming to a maximum about mid-day when the sun is highest. The time-course for UK obtained in Fig. 7 was on a bright clear day. The readings were much lower in cloudy and especially rainy conditions.

For the US, use was made of the facility for non-local transfer between identical symbols. Here I was dowsing the logo downloaded from Karl Welz’ web site(1). As Fig.7 shows, this reached a maximum at about 18:30, which would correspond to the solar maximum in the eastern states at about 12:30.

 

 

Shielding

A piece of orgonite was dowsed after covering it with various materials. It was found that placing it in a box of 2mm polythene significantly reduced the dowsable field, and a “cold box” insulated with expanded polystyrene completely stopped it. Metals (except Aluminium – see Part III) on the other hand had little or no effect – even a heavy cast iron pot.  (Such shielding could be interfering either with the influence of the sun, or with the dowsing field, or both. To test this I arranged for a shadow to fall on the orgonite from either a heavy stainless steel pressure-cooker lid, or from the lid of the cold box just mentioned. The plastic reduced the intensity greatly, while the metal had no effect.

 

Charging water with orgone or orgonite

The uptake of charge by water was further investigated, as shown in Table 2. In this one experiment the orgonite pyramid charged water as well as an orgone accumulator (ORAC) of the type invented by Reich.  (The lower value for the ORAC was probably due to its being indoors, whereas the orgonite was outside in the sun). Another experiment (with a smaller piece of orgonite) tested the time course for charging water. This reached maximum in a little over 30 min. Most surprising is that the water retained its charge, even after boiling, and further microwaving to boiling point.

Discussion

 

It needs first of all to be emphasised that, as a method, dowsing can never be fully objective. If dowsing is to be used in scientific work, there is clearly a need for the dowser’s abilities to be tested blind. In an attempt to do this, at the toss of a coin, an assistant put a piece of orgonite under one of two boxes A and B. I dowsed correctly in the first eight trials, but in the next seven obtained only random results. This phenomenon is well known among dowsers. The testing procedure introduces (especially in presence of a sceptical tester - which was true in this instance) a subtle element of doubt into the dowser’s subconscious, and serves to inhibit the response. Nevertheless, I draw confidence that I am dowsing something real both from the repeatability of the readings, and especially from the unexpectedness of many of the findings. A better way to substantiate such subjective data is for other dowsers to find the same results. Thus I hope in due course to further confirm the results shown in Fig.4. However, since different dowsers may respond to different aspects of any particular experimental situation, they would not all necessarily confirm these results.      

 

Although Reich’s work still gets little acknowledgement from within mainstream science, it continues to be confirmed and extended by a number of researchers, notably James DeMeo (10,11). As a result of his work, for example, there can be no doubt remaining about Reich’s temperature effect. (Indeed I have repeated this myself – at least to my own satisfaction). Nevertheless, although Reich had his own theory, there appears thus far to be no adequate link with mainstream physical theory.

 

Here I want to submit some suggestions, for discussion, on the nature of orgone. First, a caveat:  the mere fact of some influence(s) being dowsable by me, in these various experimental situations, does not necessarily mean that they all reflect the same physical reality. Following again a suggestion by James Lyons, I looked at the theory of Milo Wolff  (12). He proposes that there is no such thing as a particle. Thus an electron is a standing wave in the ether, as in Fig. 8. Waves go out from the centre, and reflect back again from the rest of the universe. Such a wave-system is totally coherent, in that there is no space within it, no way in which any “here” or “there” could be defined. This is exactly the condition which obtains, on a much larger scale, in man-made coherent systems such as within a superconductor, or a laser. Here all the “particles”, whether electrons or atoms, behave as one. 

 

 

 

It is proposed here that orgonite can also take up some sort of coherence. Here I am borrowing the suggestion of James Lyons(5) that electron clusters(14) may somehow be formed at the juncture of metal and resin. While, as fermions, electrons normally behave as separate individuals, it is when they get together in Cooper pairs that they become bosons, and so become able to merge their individuality into the kind of large-scale quantum coherence seen in a superconductor. But electrons can also get together in much larger clusters, of more than 1,000. Since these clusters are also bosons, we might have the potential for large-scale

quantum coherence within orgonite. One might then imagine that the metal particles form a system of oscillating dipoles which could perhaps, self-organise into a coherent state. And since there is clearly a relation between the power of the sun and the intensity of dowsable energy from orgonite, it seems likely that such a coherent state might be promoted by the coherence in solar radiation. Support for this idea came from the shielding experiments: thus the failure of metals to block the sun's influence suggests it is not electromagnetic, while blocking by plastics suggests it is of the same nature as the dowsable energy from orgonite The results with shielding, together with the finding of only brief retention of the energy by metals, also agrees with Reich’s contention that orgone is “attracted then repelled” by metals, but is absorbed by organic materials.

 

The property of quantum-coherence may be regarded as a sine qua non for life(1). This accounts for its unitary nature, and holistic properties and enables a living being to defy the second law of thermodynamics. Thus it is that orgonite, and also Reich’s orgone accumulator, may indeed be regarded as producing “life-energy”. The quantum coherent field from orgonite may be seen as an anti-entropic (or syntropic) influence, favouring increased complexity and higher levels of integration. This field from orgonite is not only dowsable, but apparently many people can sense it with the hands, and some even see it. In this it is exactly analogous to the human aura. It is this life-enhancing property which makes orgonite such an exciting material to work with. There are several groups who distribute pieces of orgonite (called by them “Holy Hand Grenades”) in various places, and claim that the local environment improves as a result (2). And, when cast into lakes, they are said to clear up the pollution. No evidence for such effects seems to have been produced however. To my knowledge the only objective evidence of effects from orgonite is that of Alexandre Emard on the growth of plants (7).

 

A similar life-energy may very well be what is produced by the giant pyramids, which have recently been built in Russia (8,9). The scientists behind this huge project have well-authenticated results on such things as changes in the physical properties of materials, increased growth of plants, and increased resistance of mice to bacterial infection and cancer. Much less firm are hints of beneficial effects on the ecology surrounding some of the pyramids. If true, however, this leads to an inspiring thought: the pyramids may be restoring the complexity of the whole ecosystem  - a result perhaps to be expected if one considers the ecosystem itself as a living organism.

               Addendum by James Lyons

 

The latest research is indicating that the nodal harmonic structure of standing waves in the quantum vacuum can readily be detected using a mental technique of intention usually combined with some indicting device such as hand held L-rods. Every object creates its own standing wave pattern in this field, which is discernible by dowsers. Isolated objects induce rings surrounding themselves much like a snapshot of waves generated by a pebble thrown into a pond. The structure of these rings is very stable and well known to experienced dowsers. This process offers a repeatable technique enabling dowsers to assess the inherent energy density embedded in any object. Ring (nodal) radius around an object is directly proportional to its embedded energy density.
