Orgonite and Discernment

Orgonite is the term coined by Don Croft for devices made in a such a way to enhance the natural flow of orgone (life energy). This is in my experience largely an interactive experience. It’s not about a mechanical fix to fight the evil “out there.” Ultimately we are unique organizations of orgone - what Reich called closed orgonomes. The orgonite devices are essentially tools for the process of inner development and growing personal discernment.

I’ve been surrounding myself with orgonite for the past few years, and a friend and I built a cloudbuster last summer (big bucket of orgonite with 6-ft copper pipes). We also have an ambitious high school student in the area who gifts prodigiously. And we get confirmation after confirmation that the chemclouds break up and healthy energy flow is restored much quicker than before. That kind of external healing is just another side of the coin of internal healing.

What I would say about “evil” is that it’s certainly not healthy to dwell on it, but it’s also not healthy to deny its existence. Very often I see people not wanting to deny it, so they let the pendulum swing to the other extreme and wallow in darkness. Or not wanting to wallow in it, they cling to the light side. Neither of those are true, of course,. (Although sometimes we need to experience temporary detours along the way :-).

We can say that in an absolute sense evil doesn’t exist or has no real power other than what we give it. But we do experience the effects of it on the relative, human level — disease, suffering, illusion in all its manifestations. And so we have to engage it as an adversary in order to transform it. Not to indulge attraction to it, but not to indulge aversion to it either.

It may not do much good to mechanically go about placing orgone generators believing that they will overcome evil, without our engaging its meaning consciously. But also the very act of doing it, as selfless service, has powerful effects.

I would say that the process of spiritual development is about entering into the deep personal experience of transforming our own false beliefs and realizing our true selves. The evil “out there” is a projection of our inner condition. We can’t just ignore the outer manifestation and say that the inner work itself is going to heal everything; that’s setting up a false dichotomy between inner and outer, whereas inner and outer are functional polarities. When your house is a mess, you can work on healing the reason for your negligence, but you also have to physically take out the garbage.
