It is joyous to see how well James De Meo has led the way revitalizing the memory of Reich, and how freely Reich's work is now discussed and perhaps, soon we'll see accumulators and cloud busters openly and freely sold. We did rain experiments at Summerlane School in New York, and at Green Valley School in Florida from 1963-74.

I was dead for 13 minutes, so I'm grateful for all evidence of remaining competence. No, I had no unusual experiences. Dead was dead.

It is joyous to see how well James De Meo has led the way revitalizing the memory
of Reich, and how freely Reich’s work is now discussed and perhaps, soon we’ll see
accumulators and cloud busters openly and freely sold. We did rain experiments
at Summerlane School in New York, and at Green Valley School in Florida from 1963-74.

a few years ago and my once formidable memory has been the chief victim. I was dead for
13 minutes, so I’m grateful for all evidence of remaining competence. No, I had no unusual
experiences. Dead was dead.

I might add, though, that Wilhelm Reich had a serious heart condition before going into prison. The Institute for Orgone Therapy is holding a conference in Philadelphia October 3. Perhaps you'd like to attend? See orgonomicscience.org for information. Good luck in your work! Mary Lou MacIlvaine, PhD, a student of orgonomy since 1981.

He was not expelled from Norway formally, though he had been hounded viciously in a press campaign to discredit him. Pity you don't mention his discovery of muscular armouring and the huge preventive potential of his work, especially in the fields of birth and baby-care. His orgone therapy is almost miraculously effective with babies and a much better use of human energy than trying to put rigid, damaged people right when they become ill as adults as the result of their armouring. The story of the chicken embryo is wonderful and perfectly scientific. 'Science' still has no explanation for that, has it? So much more to say, but this will do for now. Best wishes, Peter Jones, UK, 40 years a student of orgonomy. Dear BB, Thanks for your sympathetic article on WR.
