Dielectric Orgone Blankets

Dielectric material is particularly good at supporting an electrostatic field while being a poor conductor of electricity – it won’t give you a static shock from the electrostatic field that it contains. Solid types of dielectric material include ceramic and porcelain and is commonly used as insulation between the plates of a capacitor. (WhatIsDielectricMaterial)

Pete the cat likes the dielectric ‘orgone’ lap blanket – it is in a pillowcase to help keep it clean. Don’t ‘wash’ one of these blankets as the steel wool will rust if it gets wet.

Which for the non-electricians in the crowd (me) leads directly to the question What is a capacitor? ““a capacitor stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field between its plates.” (2) Thanks. It also has two terminals so you can tap into the stored electric field. The plates of a capacitor are electrically conductive wires or metal which can have a difference in charge.

A dielectric Orgone Blanket is somewhat like a capacitor in that it has two layers of electrically active steel wool separated by a dielectric layer of cotton or wool quilt batting but it is not connected to any other wiring. The steel wool layers are surrounded by another layer of dielectric batting and encased in cotton. The layers of dielectric cotton or wool support an electrostatic field, which will feel like warmth and possibly tingling sensations within yourself rather than being a static shock from the fabric. Exposure to the increased energy field by using the blanket regularly may have healing benefits, noted for wounds and prevention of common cold type of infections, but for some people caution may be needed.

The heart rate may become affected by the electrostatic field of the Orgone Blanket. Use for a half hour to an hour is recommended rather than use all night. Directions and safety guidance is available in the book: The Orgone Accumulator Handbook: Wilhelm Reich’s Life Energy Discoveries and Healing Tools for the 21st Century, with Construction Plans, (orgonelab.org).

Fluffiness is key for capturing an electrostatic field in pockets of air throughout the dielectric material. Ceramic seems solid yet it is full of tiny air bubbles throughout the clay. Wool and cotton quilt batting is a loose mesh of fibers, and steel wool is a loose mesh of steel wire which can be sharp. Caution, wear leather or canvas work gloves when handling the steel wool.

Fine steel wool, large roll purchased at an automotive supply store.

The supplies for a 24-inch square blanket include fine steel wool, but with no added chemical cleansers like in oven cleaning steel wool scrubbies. The spool of fine steel wool can be ordered from automotive supply companies.

Having a long quilting needle helps to add a few quilting type stiches through all of the layers after the pieces are cut and assembled.

A sturdy cotton muslin fabric cut in a rectangle that will be a couple inches larger than a 24-inch square doubled. About a yard and a half of fabric will be needed for the outer casing. Cotton quilt batting of a similar amount will be needed to make into three 24-inch squares. We are assembling a cheeseburger, except it will be fabric-cotton batting-steel wool-cotton batting-steel wool-fabric and the outside edges of the fabric will be folded over and sewn shut – pinned and machine sewn or handsewn.

This dielectric blanket was machine sewn around the edges after assembling the layers and hand stitching in a few spots with a quilting needle, to hold all of the layers together for long term stability. We are making a mini quilt, but with layers of metal to increase the electrical attraction and storage effect. The lap blanket warms as you use it and can become too hot and even irritating after longer use. It is meant to be used for about 30 minutes, like a heating pad.
Supplies – sturdy cotton or linen type organic fabric (not polyester), cotton or wool type organic batting (also not polyester, quilting supply or an old fluffy blanket), a generous amount of steel wool – it will be stretched, so it is less ‘yardage’ than the fabric.

Steps:

  • Put one layer of cotton batting on one half of the muslin rectangle so that you will be able to fold half the muslin over the top at the end and encase the final stack of layers of batting and steel wool with a seam allowance to spare. It will be a stack of three layers of cotton or wool batting with two layers of steel wool between them.
  • On the batting, place a 24-inch length of steel wool down the length of one side of the batting and then gently stretch out the mesh somewhat so it covers about eight inches instead of the compressed four-inch original size. This will cover one third of the square, repeat with two more 24-inch lengths of steel wool. The spool of steel wool in the image is about four inches wide and would make six or more lap blankets.
  • Cover the layer of stretched out pieces of steel wool with another 24-inch square of cotton batting. Repeat the step of adding three lengths of steel wool. Cover with the last 24-inch square of cotton batting.
  • Fold the muslin rectangle over the top with the layers of batting held in place by the fold. Gently fold the ends of fabric together into an enclosed seam/hem and pin in place. The sides will also need to be folded into an enclosed seam and pined in place. Pleating a little excess fabric at the corners gives a box corner that helps encase the fluffy stack. The end result will not be a flat envelope but a very short pillow or tall blanket.
  • Baste securely with quilt thread and/or finish the edges with a sewing machine.
  • Hand quilt through the entire stack using a long needle designed for doll-makers. Trying to keep it very loose quilting to retain the fluffiness, secure the stack with a stich every four to eight inches or so.
  • Use with a pillowcase ideally and keep it clean and dry. The steel wool will rust if it gets wet.
Dielectric lap blanket, simple handstiching to hold the edges, and then machine finished for sturdiness.

Ideally do not use dielectric Orgone Blankets near or store them near strong EMF emitting devices such as an internet modem, cell phone, or laptop. The goal is to increase time in a healing electric field, not in an electric field that might have negative effects on health. The dielectric blanket has a warming effect and may help increase blood flow like a normal heating pad, it just uses your own body heat as the electricity source – or a cat – or the energy of the ambient air conditions, or all three.

There would be more ether/orgone energy at high altitudes in open air – like in the mountain top retreat and less, possibly very little, in the enclosed air of the basement of a building near sea level.

I have found my Orgone blanket helpful for soothing a sore shoulder with a chronic muscle cramp, and for temporary relief of pain for a bruised hand and it seemed to speed healing of a bruise. I folded the blanket around the hand and lower arm for an hour or two, several days in a row – which was when the pain and inflammation was better. Anecdotal experience.

Dielectric blankets have been used with therapeutic massage in health clinics and with prenatal care by Wilhelm Reich’s daughter, Eva Reich, M.D. (4) and others.

Returning to the idea of a capacitor – the electrostatic field is being supported by the air and fiber weave of the batting layers which are also acting as insulation around the electrically active ~ ‘capacitor plates’ of the two steel wool layers. Holding the blanket is allowing your hand to be in the energy field – no terminals are needed for a gentle mingling of energy fields.

Plasma energy fields have been used effectively for helping with wound healing. (5) Plasma energy refers to a liquid like flow of energy throughout the area of the field, rather than referring to some liquid such as blood plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, involving ionized gas instead of a solid, liquid, or gas.

The fourth state of matter, plasma, consists of partially ionized, electrically neutral gas.” (5)

Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are involved in our health and brain activity at the microscopic level of microtubules, which may act like antenna in orienting and broadcasting electrical fields. (Previous post: 7) Specific types of EMF fields have also been used for healing purposes. (6) The type of EMF from electronic/internet devices and from high powered electric lines can be inflammatory.

Physics took a wrong turn in 1887; and the meaning of Null.

Experimental research protocol requires defining an expected result for an experiment in advance, called the hypothesis, in order to help reduce risk of bias or error. Null results would mean that the hypothesis as written had not occurred as the experimental result – making the experiment negative or null for that specific hypothesis statement. Null does not necessarily mean zero, however.

*Post originally published on earth-ocean.info, March 5, 2020.

In 1887 there were results reported as null for an experiment regarding the theory of ether which had been the prevailing idea regarding space – that there is a substance of some sort throughout space rather than it being empty and it was called ether or aether. The experimental hypothesis had predicted a large ether effect, a large drag occurring on a beam of light by this ether substance in the atmosphere, enough to effect the path of the rays of light by a predicted amount. The results were reported as Null by the academic community, correctly in some ways, because the drag effect the research team (Michelson-Morley) measured was not what they had predicted.

It was much smaller, a twentieth smaller – but it was not zero – their study did support the theory that space had some substance in it that would drag while flowing around a planet, moon, or star.

The idea at the time of the first of the Morley & Michelson experiments was that the substance was still and it was the planets that were spinning. The much smaller effect that was measured instead supports a theory later shown to be more accurate that the substance is slowing moving. It is likely the force of it flowing around things with cross currents providing force from two sides of astral objects that causes gravitational effects.

Our planet is orbiting the sun in an ellipse but it is more like a children’s Slinky toy, a long continuous spiral, then rotations of the hands on a old-fashioned clock. The sun and all of the planets are all spiraling in a group towards the same direction. The substance seems to move in spiral patterns similar to the way water looks in whirl pool eddies, or the sky in Vincent Van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night, (MoMA), – or spiral nebulae in outer space: (spiral nebulae images).

The Starry Night, by Vincent Van Gogh, via (x.com/MarioNawfal).

The substance that was known as ether has been measured in experiments that improved on the 1887 methods and modified the hypothesis to include movement of the ether. Other researchers unrelated to the original theory or experiment have also discovered anomalies that match the strength of the effect or the energy. One called it orgone and developed ways to affect the weather and increase rain or break up a larger storm system into a lower energy, more diffuse pattern, (Wilhelm Reich). Reducing desertification has also been shown to be possible with the low tech methods.

Long story short – there is a type of energy around everything that is not entropic – chaotic as expected of everything in nature – a tendency to decompose and become more disorganized instead of becoming more organized. The ether energy generally becomes more organized. It tends to coalesce like water molecules, and has an affinity for water. It is attracted to water, especially moving water, and that tendency was able to be used to modify the weather.

Desertification of land can be a result of the energy becoming non-flowing and unhealthy. It can be easily modified by simple to build tools but which need to be used with caution because weather modification can turn into storms, not just spring showers.

This is very exciting information but more people need to read and understand the implications – turns what we have been doing and believing on its head – topsy turvy, let’s start over again at Null, which doesn’t equal zero. For the skeptics and/or rocket fans in the room – the drag effect that was discovered and confirmed by later unrelated researchers is roughly equivalent to the amount of force it takes for a rocket to leave the planet’s atmosphere.

Here’s the book to read, The Dynamic Ether of Cosmic Space: Correcting a Major Error in Modern Science, by James DeMeo, (Amazon) then report back for a craft project next – a dielectric blanket (see this post, a DIY project that can soothe inflammation) – no plug-in outlet needed, because it gathers ambient energy from the air or from your body energy and can have healing effects.

This pdf of a really old book is free – it discusses ether theory as the current thing still. Einstein’s theory that space is empty came a few years after 1902. Ether theory had been predominant.

I started summarizing James DeMeo’s book in a series on Substack, this is the first post. Second post. Third post. Fourth post.

More recently, Vincent Van Gogh was in the news – the flow that he painted in The Starry Night, was found to accurately portray movement of air flow. Fifth post. Aether energy flows like water and is attracted to moving water and to iron/magnetic attracting metals. It is also attracted to tubes. Our blood has both flowing water and iron rich hemoglobin and travels in tubes – blood vessels.

Connecting to the past through words

The written word allowed mankind to share knowledge in the present and across time. We can learn from others experience when it is shared in a written or audio format. Storytelling and reciting from memory was how history was passed down through generations for much of human history. The alphabet and written text in its various languages and appearance changed human culture.

Kurt Vonnegut was an exceptional wordsmith, crafter of words both real and of his own creation. To connect any interested readers or writers, in brief, I returned to the bookstore for a copy of Timequake to give to a friend and instead found a book that fills in yet more gaps in the biography, The Brothers Vonnegut, and autobiography/novel Timequake. Armageddon in Retrospect, And Other New and Unpublished Writings on War and Peace, (Berkley Books, 2008, New York), by Kurt Vonnegut, Introduction by Mark Vonnegut (one of his sons who is also a writer) is a collection of unpublished short stories and letters including one that was mentioned in both Timequake and The Brothers Vonnegut.

The letter was published in a newspaper after WWII. It is the initial, oh, you may not have heard yet family, but I’m not dead and no longer Missing In Action, letter to his lived ones. I haven’t read past the letter. Tears in my eyes make it difficult to read – or write. War is bad. We need to be reminded of that everyday until we figure out how to manage life more humanely. I share the hope that humans can do that soon.

Learning to write better may be a goal which reading well written words can help achieve. Learning to live better may be a bonus.

Timequake, a novel by Kurt Vonnegut

Timequake as a work of fiction isn’t quite and as an autobiography might also leave a few bewildered readers unless they were regular readers of Kurt Vonnegut. Surreal fiction that isn’t quite science fiction but which also isn’t quite based in the real world is a norm for the books I remember besides the book he is best known for. Slaughterhouse Five is novel that describes his experiences in World War II during which he was captured and held as a Prisoner of War. Conditions were intolerable and many other soldiers who were captured died. The experience left Kurt Vonnegut going that peace would be achieved after the war.

Timequake (G. P. Putnam’s Sons, New York, 1997) is the last novel Kurt Vonnegut wrote and he was in his seventies at the time. In a recent post I discussed a biography that is a history based on a variety of archived material about he and his brother Bernard Vonnegut, a weather/cloud seeding scientist, and other scientists from the era, and interviews from a few surviving family members. https://transcendingsquare.com/2018/03/01/who-owns-science-or-should-all-ideas-be-shared/

The nonfiction book and novel include some of same stories from the family’s history but written in different styles. Both books provide an interesting look into the effort involved in building a successful writing career. While the nonfiction biography/history was written more recently it was helpful to read it first as it provides more detail in consecutive order about Kurt Vonnegut and his family and it helped provide a better understanding of some of the pain and difficulty that may have led to some of the more surreal and cryptic stories that Kurt Vonnegut included in Timequake. 

Part of the book includes a storyline that is fiction but which is also somewhat autobiographical because the main character is an author that he considered somewhat of an alter ego. Nice to have a fictions voice to say the things that polite society wouldn’t say or might not want to hear. The storyline is what the title is derived from, all the characters including Kurt Vonnegut are supposedly trapped in a Timequake and they are having to repeat everything they did in the previous ten years over the course of the next ten years. When time unfreezes again people aren’t prepared for a return of free will. The author character tells them:

‘You were sick, but now you’re well again, and there’s work to do,’

The phrase catches on and more people start to repeat it.

The underlying theme is about peace and ending gun violence. It is also about appreciating each other and the little things in life more than television shows. It is about self respect and holding yourself together when it might be difficult. The book is timely and may leave your self respect slightly shredded at points but you may arrive on the other end of the Timequake stronger and ‘there’s work to do,’ so it may be worth the slight shredding. An example:

Men are insane. Women are psychotic.’

Having survived being a Prisoner of War and the Allie’s carpet bombing of Dresden may give some license for questioning human nature and the line isn’t flattering to either gender. Six of one, half a dozen of the other – who among us is completely sane at all times?

The title may have to do with an experience mentioned on page 129 that occurred after the Allie’s won WWII but Kurt Vonnegut hadn’t returned home yet. He and another soldier found a Nazi soldier as he lay dying. The soldier asked them to leave him to die and then signaled that he had something else to say. Last words? They listened:

I have just wasted the past ten years of my life,’ he said.

Kurt Vonnegut followed the story with a line describing the last words as a Timequake.

The Nazi soldier is dead and far more than ten years were lost in WWII but there is always tomorrow for the rest of us who are still reading and thinking.

You were sick, but now you’re well again, and there’s work to do.
