Life Force & Potentization Potentization The Principles & History of Gardening & Farming Beyond the “Natural Senses” “Nowadays people know the price of everything, but the value of nothing.” – Oscar Wilde In order to tell the story of potentization, we must address some ideas that are foreign concepts to the collective modern materialistic worldview. Nature works on a higher order than mere physical substance. Life is more than the sum of its parts. Life has a rhythm that’s all its own that cannot be reduced to a price point. It has an order that is wild and deliberate. Operating on instinct, Nature seeks balance unconsciously. But the egolution of humanity has changed all of that. We consume more than we produce. We are immersed the greater energetic world, but we ignore it. Our ego consciousness is unique on Earth and provides us an opportunity to manipulate our environments and dilute our instincts. We see ourselves in the mirror and make up our own minds. Think about that…what allows that separation of ability? There are different levels and a higher energetic order involved. For instance, plants are even more different still. They lack mobility, but they are intimately connected with the greater cosmic environment. Plants are well known to respond to moon and celestial rhythms. They’re more in touch with their instincts. When we get in the way contaminate the natural process, it messes with the magic of life. The methods used by life to connect and interact with other living things has been circumvented. This is the entire point of pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. This is also the danger of genetically modified organisms (GMO). Now that we have produced these mutant plants and animals, there is no turning back. It amounts to a grand experiment on ourselves. ©2012 Progress Earth • Wilmington, NC, USA • P: 910‐777‐5372 • F: 910.777.5373 • [email protected] • www.ProgressEarth.com P a g e | 2 Just consider some of these routine food scenarios: When we create Vitamin C in a lab as ascorbic acid and call it the same thing as from an orange. It’s not. But the FDA allows orange juice companies to tell you that you’re getting your 100% daily value. Over 90% of the food grown in this country is grown with artificial fertilizers and pesticides. We are using man-made synthetic materials to try and grow living plants. Is it a wonder that food is no longer our vitamin? We pasteurize milk and juice so it will sit on a shelf when it cheapens the health value. Most in the modern world live a filtered existence. We strip the life force out of it. Our food is not alive. Name something in your diet that comes directly from a vine every day? Nature works indirectly through symbiotic relationships. There is a never ending complexity to how it all works. And there is an energy, or life force, that organizes and flows through the entire process. Have you ever thought about how fish school? Or how birds flock? Type in “flock of birds” in YouTube and hold on tight! How do they know where the others are going? How does a monarch butterfly travel from New England to Mexico without a roadmap? Or whales or bluefin tuna on their annual trans-global migrations. How do they do it? There aren’t any highway signs in the ocean? The truth is nobody knows exactly how these processes work. Life has a different setting than mere physical substance. Some call it a spirit, others ignore it completely. There is a method to the madness of Nature. But Nature is not black and white. Things are not always as they seem and almost nothing happens directly or in the same way every time. This idea is extremely hard for modern science to handle. Modern science tends to reduce things to a mere constituent of its parts. We rip things apart to look for the truth. And, of course, we often miss it. ©2012 Progress Earth • Wilmington, NC, USA • P: 910‐777‐5372 • F: 910.777.5373 • [email protected] • www.ProgressEarth.com P a g e | 3 We can’t see the forest from the trees. For example, when growing and juicing wheatgrass for health, it is not one component that allows the therapeutic effect. Researchers can identify many components that are beneficial – high chlorophyll, all amino acids and elements, high enzyme count, etc. – but none of the components by itself create the results found from drinking wheatgrass. Wheatgrass is known to increase red blood cell count, lower blood pressure, stimulate the metabolism and the thyroid gland, curb obesity, restore alkalinity to the blood, detox the body, turn gray hair to its natural color, fight tumors and so much more. Again, name something in your diet that you eat that is alive directly from a vine every day? Our food lacks life force. Healing cannot occur with only components of wheatgrass juice. In fact, the therapeutic effect of the synergy of the juice has a name, the ‘grass juice factor’. In other words, the way our science is organized is not capable of measuring the healing result of consistently drinking the juice. Or, another way of looking at it is, wheatgrass juice cannot be reverse engineered. Neither can seawater, or worm castings, or compost, or any natural material that has not been adulterated by artificial man-made processing. In the same way animals respond to a higher order and awareness of their surroundings, there is a life force that can work on water and any animate material if it is in harmony with natural process. The order in which products are formulated determines the energetic value of the final product. It’s called the ‘stacking order’. There is a sequence to chemical reactions in the same way there are for energetic reactions. We pay attention to this. Nature works on substance by building up energetic resonance, creating cooperation amongst its constituents, or, potentizing the material so that it supports life. To potentize is to render the latent power in materials, to bring higher energetic order, or greater harmony and synergy, amongst ingredients. When materials are potentized they take on a greater meaning and importance to living systems. There was more experience and a stronger agreement. ©2012 Progress Earth • Wilmington, NC, USA • P: 910‐777‐5372 • F: 910.777.5373 • [email protected] • www.ProgressEarth.com P a g e | 4 Potentization is a tool of the BioEnergetic approach to growing. Even “organic” farming lacks a synergistic wholistic approach to growing food. “Organics”, as it is defined by the USDA says nothing about the nutritional value of the food grown, only how it is grown. Big difference. The words potent and potential are both apt descriptions. It takes very little of a potentized material to create dynamic influence and the possibilities are limited only by the imagination. Nature works by potentizing. Most human process involves a destructive and explosive means of creating energy, but Mother Nature is the opposite, her methods are implosive, regenerative and upbuilding. When Nature creates something there is purpose and meaning behind every method with no wasted energy. Not so with humans. Our energy production is explosive and polluting with very low energy transfer. Most of it is lost as heat and pollution. A condensed way of looking at this is that Nature brings things together and man tears them apart. It is our responsibility to manage this unique ability. We do that by remaining conscious of natural rhythms and energies and incorporating them into our methods and products. When we potentize our products we are following Natures lead. We are utilizing the forms and procedures of Nature to bring a greater meaning to the ingredients. In addition to proprietary process we have developed over the years, we use the form of the vortex and other frequency and implosion-based processes to undertake this work. The result is products that are born of natural rhythms that cannot be created by mere mixing and agitation. This allows us an ability to use FAR less material relative to traditional fertilizers and gardening products, and get an equal if not greater result. When you use our products you are using something fundamentally unique to the garden. We take this approach with all of our products. Take Earth Tonic. When the ingredients of Earth Tonic are brought together, incredible things happen. It results in literally all Earth-bound elements. Why would Mother Nature make an element that was not needed in the garden? But we don’t simply mix the ingredients together. We undertake propriety potentization techniques that take it to an even higher level. Every step of the formulation process for Earth Tonic is undertaken with careful consideration and for deliberate reasons. For instance, we don’t merely go out to the ocean shore for the solution contained within Earth Tonic, we travel to special places in the ocean up to 80 miles out in order to harvest the living seawater contained in the product. ©2012 Progress Earth • Wilmington, NC, USA • P: 910‐777‐5372 • F: 910.777.5373 • [email protected] • www.ProgressEarth.com P a g e | 5 We create a "mother" with this sea water that includes colloidal clay, nettles tea and the BioDynamic preparations BD500-508 that is then potentized via proprietary vortexial and inversion mixing and implosion processes before the product is formulated. Materials from one batch are carried on into the next, as well as being potentized themselves. This allows the solution to become stronger over time as the information generated from the previous batch is carried on into the next.

  • Lincoln's Orgone Accumulator
    Journal of the Centre for Experimental Ontology Lincoln’s Orgone Accumulator: The Question Concerning Life and Architecture by Marcin Mateusz Kołakowski & Doina Carter Are the controversial ideas of Wilhelm Reich a topic worth discussing in contemporary architecture? There is no better way of trying to answer this question than by testing it. This is what happened at the University of Lincoln in 2017. The Centre for Experimental Ontology offered support and the initial concept while authors of this article, as architectural educators from Lincoln School of Architecture and the Built Environment (LSABE), incorporated it into students’ brief. 1 Live Projects for Life of Architecture. As a result of the cooperation between the Centre of Experimental Ontology and the LSABE, the idea of constructing Lincoln’s Orgone Accumulator came into being. The object, which once contributed to scientific and even legal controversies later became part of pop culture and is now something of a techno-vitalist legend which stimulates thinkers to reflect on the definition of life. The Lincoln project was instigated by Graham Freestone and transformed into an idea compatible with the University’s curriculum. It was decided that the process of designing and producing the project would take the form of a ‘live project’. According to definitions by Sara (2006) and Watt & Cottrell (2006), live projects in educational terms engage the community with students. Through live projects students produce a real project which is valuable to the client. Every project has its own agenda and criteria making them very different from each other. For several years, the University of Lincoln ‘Students as producers’ program has helped to promote this kind of educational format.

  • Unconventional Cancer Treatments
    Unconventional Cancer Treatments September 1990 OTA-H-405 NTIS order #PB91-104893 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Unconventional Cancer Treatments, OTA-H-405 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1990). For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing OffIce, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword A diagnosis of cancer can transform abruptly the lives of patients and those around them, as individuals attempt to cope with the changed circumstances of their lives and the strong emotions evoked by the disease. While mainstream medicine can improve the prospects for long-term survival for about half of the approximately one million Americans diagnosed with cancer each year, the rest will die of their disease within a few years. There remains a degree of uncertainty and desperation associated with “facing the odds” in cancer treatment. To thousands of patients, mainstream medicine’s role in cancer treatment is not sufficient. Instead, they seek to supplement or supplant conventional cancer treatments with a variety of treatments that exist outside, at varying distances from, the bounds of mainstream medical research and practice. The range is broad—from supportive psychological approaches used as adjuncts to standard treatments, to a variety of practices that reject the norms of mainstream medical practice. To many patients, the attractiveness of such unconventional cancer treatments may stem in part from the acknowledged inadequacies of current medically-accepted treatments, and from the too frequent inattention of mainstream medical research and practice to the wider dimensions of a cancer patient’s concerns.

  • 119 Review Article Health and Healing in Islam: Links and Gaps With
    Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 14 No. 02 April’15 Review article Health and healing in Islam: links and gaps with (post)modern practices Rahman MT Abstract: Therapeutic interventions deal with healthy living i.e., maintenance of good health, dealing with conditions that requires special care such as child birth and healing i.e., treatment and cure of the sickness. Islam guides mankind to have ultimate faith on Allah Almighty’s approval for healthy living and healing as well as provides guidelines for cleanliness, healthy eating/drinking habits and controlled physical and mental stress. Thus, holistic view of healthy living and healing in Islam is founded both on the faith on the oneness and the almighty authority of Allah as well as physical, social, psychological factors. Revealed scriptures before Qur`an, gave equal emphasis on the same faith and factors. At the same time, different schools of thought of therapeutic interventions deal either with the physical or the metaphysical means of health and healing. This paper will discuss the links and gaps between Islamic principles and practices for health and healing and similar practices in other faith and therapeutic interventions observed in (post)modern community.

  • William S. Burroughs Reading Wilhelm Reich
    humanities Article Genius and Genitality: William S. Burroughs Reading Wilhelm Reich Thomas Antonic Department of German Studies (Institut für Germanistik), University of Vienna, A1010 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] Received: 15 January 2019; Accepted: 16 May 2019; Published: 21 May 2019 Abstract: This article explores the impact of Wilhelm Reich’s theories and writings on the works and thinking of William S. Burroughs. Reich’s significance for Burroughs’ fiction is beyond doubt, as the appearance of Reich’s discoveries and inventions, such as orgones and orgone accumulators, in Burroughs’ major works demonstrates. Yet to date, no attempt has been made in academia to make all those references to Reich in Burroughs’ complete œuvre visible. In order to make the thinking of the Austrian-American psychoanalyst and scientist comprehensible for readers not familiar with Reich, the first section will provide a brief biographical outline. In the subsequent sections, the article will describe how Burroughs and other Beat writers discovered Reich, how and to what extent Burroughs incorporated Reich in his texts throughout his career and what opinions Burroughs expressed about Reich in interviews and letters. For the first time, with a summary as undertaken in this article and by documenting most of the references to Reich in Burroughs’ work, the importance of the former to the latter is revealed in a compact form. Keywords: William S. Burroughs; Wilhelm Reich; beat generation; orgone 1. Introduction At some point, readers familiar with Beat literature have certainly come across the name of Wilhelm Reich or references to one of his discoveries and inventions in books by or about the Beat Generation.

  • Component in Psychic Healing
    Abstract Experimental Evidence for the Existence of an “Energetic” Component in Psychic Healing Richard A. Blasband, M.D. The Center for Functional Research Sausalito, CA For centuries the established belief has been that so-called “psychic healing” has involved some form of “energy” that is transmitted from the healer to the healee. While there is scant experimental evidence for this healing agent what does exist indicates that “something” of a non-electromagnetic nature is transmissible and absorbable from the healer. In the 20th Century the scientist, Wilhelm Reich discovered a form of “energy” that existed in man and the atmosphere and that could be concentrated is an apparently energetically passive chamber made of alternating non-metallic and metallic materials. Reich demonstrated that this device, the “orgone energy accumulator” or ORAC could prolong the lives of experimental cancer mice. Experiments conducted by his students after Reich’s death confirmed his findings. Independently a healer, Bill Bengston, experimenting with a similar strain of cancer mice, found that the cancer tumor was anomalously sequestered from the body through an intense inflammatory reaction in response to the healing process. We found that this process was essentially identical to the form of reaction by the mice to exposure to the ORAC. Sue Benford, commenting on Bengston’s experiments described the process of “radiation hormesis’ that produces similar healing reactions. Benford also describes anomalous changes in gamma radiation in the vicinity of the hands of healer working by the laying-on-of-hands that facilitates the hormetic reaction. We hypothesize that a principle at work that is common to both healing by the laying-on-of-hands and the ORAC is primarily orgone energy acting secondarily through hormesis.

  • Orgone Essentials Orgone Essentials
    Orgone Essentials ABOUT ORGONITE or ORGONE ENERGY Electro Magnetic Frequencies Orgone is simply another name for prana, Ki, reiki, ether, spirit, zero point energy. The term was coined by Dr. William Reich, who provided the base understanding of combining organic and inorganic materials to affect energy in the 1930's. It wasn't until the 1990's that resin and quartz was added to Reich's basic principle to produce what is commonly known as Orgonite. These devices tap into the universal life force energy that is in and around all of life. This universal energy is imbalanced by EMF radiation from cell towers, power lines, electronics, etc. As electro-magnetic beings we are naturally affected by this imbalance, by combining organic (resin, carbon- based) and inorganic (metals, crystals, carbon-derivative) materials. Orgonite effectively "scrubs" this imbalanced energy and generates positive, balanced energy. The resin constantly applies pressure on the crystals, "squeezing” them and producing piezoelectric energy that is absorbed into the wearer's electro-magnetic field and into the chakra energy centres of the body. Those sensitive to etheric energy can feel this effect but even if you can't it still works just the same. How Orgonites can help you. A piece of Orgonite is simply a combination of metal and Quartz Crystals Orgonite also has additional benefits depending on the crystal combinations and/or other elements. For example, lapis lazuli orgonite enhances spirituality and intuition. Turquoise orgonite promotes creativity and healing. Your favourite Crystal/healing centre can help you select some Crystals to assist you with a desired outcome.

  • Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960S
    Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960s CAMILLE PAGLIA 1. eclipse by politics Commentary on the 1960s has been mas- sive. Law and politics in that turbulent decade are well doc- umented but remain controversial, and the same thing can be said of contemporary innovations in mass media and the arts. One major area remains ambiguous or poorly assimi- lated, however—the new religious vision, which for a tanta- lizing moment in the American sixties brought East and West together in a progressive cultural synthesis. Its promise was never completely fulfilled, for reasons I will try to sketch here. But the depth and authenticity of that spiritual shift need to be more widely acknowledged. A political model currently governs interpretations of the sixties because of the enduring reform movements born in that period, including environmentalism, feminism, and gay liberation. Their mobilizing energy, as well as the organiza- tional style that would also be adopted by antiwar protests, initially came from the civil rights movement sparked by the us Supreme Court’s 1954 decision declaring segregation in public schools unconstitutional. In that crusade, it must be remembered, ordained Protestant ministers such as Martin Luther King, Jr., played a leading role, as they also had in nineteenth-century abolitionism. The civil rights movement, with its hymns and anthems, appealed not just to secular standards of social justice but to a higher moral code.
