Call, write, fax or e-mail for details.
Times: Weekend Seminars meet from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day, Saturday and Sunday. Guided Independent Study Program will meet from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day.
Where: At the O.B.R.L. Greensprings Center, 20 miles east of Ashland, Oregon in the forests of the Siskiyou Mountains. Please register early. More details are on the web site.
At the Greensprings Center, we offer students (young and old, with or without academic training) the opportunity to study the social and biophysical dimensions of Wilhelm Reich's natural scientific discoveries, and also to directly investigate and observe orgone energy functions in nature. Each year, a series of lectures, weekend seminars and independent study courses will be offered at this unique location and facility, spanning the broad range of interdisciplinary orgonomy and venturing into related subjects as well.

4. New Life-Energy Field Meter nearing completion.
In the 1940s, Wilhelm Reich developed a new "orgone energy field meter" (described in his book "The Cancer Biopathy") which could measure the life-energy field of organisms. Much in the way a "Kirlian energy-field photograph" makes a picture of this same life-field, Reich's meter could give a quantitative measurement of its strength or intensity. The early methods of Kirlian electro-field photography have been made more quantitative with the new technology of Korotkov, but this requires elaborated equipment and a computer with specialized software for computing the field-strength or intensity. The Reich orgone field meter, by comparison, would yield a numerical read-out on an analog meter. Unfortunately, his original apparatus was also large and bulky, requiring high-frequency coils which sparked and created ozone as a by-product.
Over the years, at OBRL we have re-constructed Reich's meter and tried to make smaller versions, but without much success. A few years ago, a Canadian engineer succeeded in making a hand-held transistorized life-field meter, using principles similar to those applied by Reich, but without the sparks and ozone-creating problems. We encouraged him to make them available to the public, and for about a year we offered them for sale through our Natural Energy Works company, as an "Experimental Life-Energy Meter". The early version of this meter, with discussion on its principles and uses, is shown at our original web page: http://www.orgonelab.org/ylemeter.htm
This early version could pick up the human field at a short distance of only a few centimeters, which was a major drawback, and so we stopped selling it and encouraged our Canadian friend to re-engineer the meter to obtain readings at a greater distance. He has recently finished a prototype of the new meter, which can register human fields from a half-meter to a full meter distance, with varying sensitivities to allow for contact measurements of objects and liquids. This meter will be a breakthrough, not only rehabilitating one of Reich's early discoveries (subjected to the 1950s "ban and burn" order of a US court), but providing a new research tool which is quite different from typical millivoltmeters or electromagnetic field meters. The life-energy meter does not respond to electrostatic, magnetic or electromagnetic fields, for example, and appears to be a new class of instrumentation with applications directly to the field of experimental orgone energy, or "subtle energy" research.
We are about one month away from making this revised meter available for public sale, and our website (above) will soon be updated and revised. If you are interested in the new version of the Life-Energy Field Meter, send a short email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> requesting to be placed on a special email list for notifications.
This meter will also be demonstrated at the forthcoming OBRL seminars (see above).
