I have never heard of orgone
quoting wikipedia:
"
Orgone energy is a hypothetical universal
life force originally proposed in the 1930s by
Wilhelm Reich.
[1][2][3] In its final conception, developed by Reich's student Charles Kelly after Reich's death, Orgone was conceived as the anti-entropic principle of the universe, a creative substratum in all of nature comparable to
Mesmer's
animal magnetism, the
Odic force of
Carl Reichenbach and
Henri Bergson's
élan vital.
[4] Orgone was seen as a massless, omnipresent substance, similar to
luminiferous aether, but more closely associated with living energy than inert matter. It could coalesce to create organization on all scales, from the smallest microscopic unitscalled bions in orgone theoryto macroscopic structures like organisms, clouds, or even galaxies.
[5]
Reich's theories held that deficits or constrictions in bodily orgone were at the root of many diseasesincluding cancermuch as deficits or constrictions in the libido could produce neuroses in Freudian theory. He created the Orgone Institute to pursue research into orgone energy after he immigrated to the US, and used it to publish literature and distribute material relating to the topic for more than a decade. Reich designed special "orgone accumulators"devices ostensibly collecting and storing orgone energy from the environmentfor improvement of general health or even for
weather control.
[1] Ultimately, the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) obtained a federal injunction barring the interstate distribution of orgone-related materials, on the grounds that Reich and his associates were making false and misleading claims, and later jailed Reich and destroyed all orgone-related materials at the institute after Reich violated the injunction.
[2] Contrary to common misconception, Reich always rejected the idea that the accumulator could provide
orgastic potency.
[6]
Orgone is regarded by the
National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine as a type of "putative energy."
[7] There is no empirical support for the concept of orgone in
medicine or the physical sciences, and research into the concept ceased with the end of the Institute.
[8]"
Does that help?
