-
- Welcome to
James DeMeo's research web site, and home page for the Orgone
Biophysical Research Laboratory. DeMeo has been investigating the
work of the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich since 1970, and founded OBRL in
1978. With cooperative assistance from a network of professionals
and institutes supportive of Wilhelm Reich's original discoveries,
OBRL has grown to become one of the world's primary centers for
genuine and uncompromised research and educational programs
focused upon Orgonomy, the science of orgone (life) energy
functions in nature, as developed by Reich in the first half of
the 20th Century.
-
- Starting in
1977, as part of his graduate research at the University of
Kansas, DeMeo undertook replication studies of Reich's biophysical
research -- specifically, a systematic evaluation of the Reich
cloudbuster which yielded positive results. The acceptance of
DeMeo's work by the KU faculty constituted the first time any
aspect of Reich's controversial biophysical research had been
validated by peer-review within a mainstream academic institution.
Through the organizational structure of OBRL, and with the
cooperative assistance and support of many other individuals and
groups dedicated to Reich's works, DeMeo has since directed field
applications of the cloudbuster apparatus, successfully ending
droughts across the USA and overseas as well, with applications
towards reducing the energetic stagnation characteristic of wetter
regions suffering from chronic air pollution and forest-death. A
number of Desert Greening expeditions have also been organized and
directed by DeMeo within the arid zones of the Southwestern USA,
and into the dry regions of Namibia and Israel, producing a
dramatic verification of Reich's earlier findings on the ability
of the cloudbuster to bring rains under even extremely dry
conditions. With the support of local governments, a five-year
desert-greening experiment was also undertaken in the 1990s, in
the East African Sahel region adjacent to the hyperarid Sahara
Desert. All of these projects have produced significantly positive
results with sometimes-dramatic increases in rainfall, ending dry
episodes of sometimes decades duration, filling reservoirs and
greening parched landscapes. This work constitutes a major
breakthrough in combating the intractable problems of drought and
desert-spreading, with their attendant famine and social-economic
upheavals, and is a major focus of research activity at OBRL.
-
- In the early
1980s, DeMeo embarked upon what was then, and still remains, the
most comprehensive and systematic global cross-cultural study of
human behavior yet undertaken, a 10-year research effort which
focused upon the geographical parameters of human behavior, as
expressed in archaeology, history, and cross-cultural ethnography.
DeMeo's numerous behavior maps of various social institutions and
eventual discovery of the social/environmental region of Saharasia
as the original historical source region of patriarchal
authoritarian societies, solved the riddle of what Reich called
the origins of armoring. Saharasia, now in a comprehensive book,
demonstrates the origins of human violence in traumatic and
sex-repressive social institutions during the
historically-unprecedented epoch of drought, desertification,
famine and mass-migrations which gripped the Old World after
c.4000 BCE. This work constitutes a precise and systematic
cross-cultural validation of Wilhelm Reich's sex-economic
hypothesis on the origins of human neurosis and irrationalism, and
proof of the global validity of his Mass Psychology of Fascism.
New research continues into this important subject area,
confronting popular claims on the "genetic" or "innate" nature of
human violence, with attempts to bring the findings contained in
Saharasia to a wider public.
-
- Experimental
investigation into orgone energy functions in nature continues at
OBRL, verifying many of Reich's original findings on the orgone
accumulator, with efforts underway towards quantitative
evaluations of the elusive properties of living water ("activated"
or "structured" water). DeMeo's work along this track has
uncovered measurable changes in water evaporation and surface
tension due to orgone-charging, as well as plant
growth-enhancement effects. Through OBRL and the Natural Energy
Works publication and distribution company, DeMeo's Orgone
Accumulator Handbook, Saharasia and the OBRL Pulse of the Planet
research journal have been distributed world-wide, in English and
other languages. Research undertaken by DeMeo and associates of
OBRL constitutes a major support for Reich's earlier findings,
with important extensions and bridges built between Reich's
orgonomy and a few of the more open and genuine elements of modern
science.
-
- In 1995, the
Orgone Biophysical Research Laboratory relocated to a pristine,
energetically-vital forested environment in rural southwestern
Oregon, and the Greensprings Center was born. A new laboratory
building was constructed, which doubles as a seminar facility, and
an orgone-energy darkroom was added in 1998. New research was
initiated, and laboratory-oriented educational seminars, taught by
teams of top-notch professionals with decades of experience, have
been offered each summer on central aspects of orgonomy. These
include weekend seminars on "Bions, Biogenesis and the Reich Blood
Test", and on "The Orgone Energy Accumulator", as well as a
special three-week "Guided Independent Study Program" for the more
serious individual. Special seminars on Saharasia and Global
Weather are also offered periodically, as are other special
topics. Professionals and students, young and old and from around
the world, meet each summer at the OBRL Greensprings Center to get
a first-hand experience.
-
- From the Laboratory
Director:
- "Where
psychiatry and psychoanalysis have failed to resolve the dilemma
of destructive human aggression, Reich's sex-economy succeeded.
Where mechanistic biochemistry failed to elucidate the riddle of
the origins of life, or of the cancer cell, Reich's bion
experiments, and discovery of a specific life energy, has brought
forth their solutions. While neither mechanistic science nor
mystical philosophies have shed any light on the longstanding
problems of sadism and warfare, or on the world-wide human fear
and hatred of nature, Reich's work pinpoints their origins in
specific traumatic, sex-negative social institutions which damage
the young, and from which sadistic urges develop. Indeed, his
sex-economic work has withstood the most rigorous cross-cultural
testing, and explains the genesis of destructive human aggression
and violence better and more completely than any other theory.
Moreover, his work demonstrates the preventable nature of such
violence, exposing its roots in our awful treatments of babies,
children, and adolescents. My own geographical research extended
his findings to show exactly when and where violent, patristic
human societies first appeared on Earth, the exact conditions
under which they arose, the means by which they spread, and from
which their modern-day political expressions developed. Reich's
complementary discovery of a specific life energy, the orgone, is
likewise founded upon sound, verifiable experiments. Even his
orgone accumulator, dismissed by know-nothings as a 'quack'
appliance, turns out to be a potent therapeutic device, capable of
beneficially stimulating the physiology of plants, animals, and
people. The orgone, as a directly observable and measurable
atmospheric energy, also plays a fundamental role in our weather,
as proven by many experiments with the cloudbusting instrument, a
device which has already been used to break many droughts, and
bring rains to deserts. For many years I have researched and
tested Reich's various discoveries, and found them to be sound,
and worthy of our most serious considerations. He has laid the
foundations for an entirely new functional science and world view,
which has already borne significant and badly-needed fruits."

controversial, others merely announcements of seminars, events or
new publications on the subject of Reich and orgonomy.
Approximately 1-3 emails per week maximum, often quiet for periods
when our work consumes all available time.
