Dear Friend of Orgonomy, and of OBRL,

Twenty-eight years ago, I founded the Orgone Biophysical Research Laboratory (OBRL) as a means to support my research into Wilhelm Reich's orgone biophysical and sociological discoveries.  Since then, this work has relied upon the generosity of sympathetic donors and subscribers.

As participants at past OBRL Seminars, readers of our publications (Pulse of the Planet, Heretic's Notebook, Saharasia, Orgone Accumulator Handbook) and subscribers to the OBRL-News internet postings, you are familiar with my own research, as well as the OBRL circle of informal associates, including laboratory findings, desert-greening field work, and educational efforts aimed at maintaining clarity and furthering Reich's work.

Over many years, I have personally maintained an emphasis upon bringing my own research findings which support Reich, into mainstream university conferences and scientific scholarly society meetings, such as the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science). Over the last five years, an especially focused effort has been made in this regard, resulting in many presentations of even the controversial orgone energy and cloudbusting work into mainstream scientific venues, with numerous invited articles as a consequence. This sustained effort has melted down at least some of the mainstream resistance to orgonomic research. An in-depth "OBRL Progress Report" from a few years ago appears in Pulse of the Planet #5, p.251-257:

A Report on one of our past year's Summer Seminars is also now posted to internet:

And a Booklet of Abstracts is also available for the 2005 Summer Conference on New Research in Orgonomy.

All of this important work, our seminars and publications, as well as the maintenance and development of OBRL offices and website, requires substantial resources.

We request that you, as a valued participant in our efforts, please consider sending a financial contribution.  Your donation will help us continue with this vitally important work and our  innovative services, which include the following:

* Laboratory Studies on the Orgone Energy. The current focus is upon the Orgone Accumulator Thermal Anomaly - readings of a nearly constant 0.3 deg C. with anomalous spikes of up to 5 full degrees C., have been recorded.

* Historical and Analytical Research, on the subject of "Ether-Drift" research since the 1900s, including the work of Dayton Miller, and their relationship to the findings of Reich and others on cosmic orgone energy, and planetary/atmospheric dynamics.

* Field Research with the Reich Cloudbuster. Reich's atmospheric discoveries have been cautiously and productively applied to end severe droughts in the American Southwest, Namibia, Israel, and Eritrea.  This work is only possible with significant help from donors.

* Archaeological and Historical Research on Saharasia, Peaceful Societies and the "Origins of Violence" question.

*  The On-Line Bibliography on Orgonomy (1920 to the present) posted to the OBRL web site, available globally without charge.

*  Video/DVD Archives. An effort is now underway to preserve our considerable archives of videotaped lectures and documentation of field expeditions and laboratory work  onto digital DVD, for permanent archival and safekeeping.

*  Books and Publications, including our in-house journal Pulse of the Planet, continue to spread accurate and timely information supporting Reich's discoveries world-wide.  My new book Greening Deserts is also under organization, along with another issue of Pulse.   http://www.naturalenergyworks.net

*  Greensprings Conference & Seminars. Held every summer at the OBRL Greensprings Center near Ashland, Oregon, since 1996.   In Summer 2005, we made a special new offering, of a Conference on New Research in Orgonomy, with an international list of presenters.
