Orgone energy is the energy that all living things exude and that permeates the entire universe. At least according to Wilhelm Reich, whose claims of a rediscovery of an esoteric practice and knowledge in the 1930s would eventually land him in jail. In the decades since, however, many others have picked up, albeit more privately, where Reich left off.

Indeed, orgone energy and the accumulation of it is still very much alive within many new age and holistic movements today. Perhaps less well-known, is the work Reich conducted concerning weather manipulation – something very much a reality today. Perhaps the fact that Reich was not only jailed but his equipment completely destroyed should be something to take n...

    I am positive I saw Wilhelm Reich with an Orgone Accumulator on the television show “Who Do You Trust?” with Johnny Carson and Ed McMann probably in the spring of 1957. This was memorable because I was home ’sick’ from school and the TV was our family’s first – likely the first time I saw the show – about 7 and a half years old. When I saw Reich’s photo years later I made the connection.

    I have tried to find information on ‘guests’ of the show but information is sparse and often contradictory.
    This would seem to be an important event, very much ‘in your face’ to the ‘authorities’ considering his arrest and conviction.

    Hope you can find something about this,

    I grew up in an orgone household in the 1950s, and it was a horrible experience. I was repeatedly tortured, molested and violated by an ergonomist, Dr. Albert Duvall, whom I have an abiding hatred for to this day. I would have killed him, were he still alive when I recovered the repressed memories of this abuse. And Reich sanctified him to run the OIRC! Some judge of character, Willy boy! Why don’t you accept the fact that for all his fancy words and flighty theories, Reich was just nut-******* crazy and there isn’t, never was, and never will be, any “orgone”? Any benefits of the accumulator can be explained by the effect of stepping into an electrical capacitor, which is all it is. Reich was a quack, the most dangerous kind, a self-deluded one. None of his “discoveries” was as big as his ego. In the end, he got what he deserved.
