Doctor Wilhelm Reich is well-known as a psychoanalyst and
his work concerning vegetotherapy. However, his major discoveries
in biophysics were made inaccessible to the public for many
years.
It was in the middle of the 1930's that Reich discovered the
energy base of the all material. Primary and cosmic vital
energy in other traditions also called Chi, Prâna or
Ether . He named it "orgon" in 1947 (from Greek
"Orgân": to glow heat). This energy circulates
in our veins, glows in our 600 billion cells, exhilerates
humans, plants, animals, water, the atmosphere, wind, the
clouds, space, etc. Orgon is everywhere!
