I am no expert on this topic, but here is how I understand it. "Orgone energy" is an invention of a famous post-Freudian shrink named Wilhem Reich. He came up with a lot of theeries that are very influential but then veered into madness; for which he was hounded out of scientific society much like electrical visionary Nikolai Tesla. In his late days, Reich became obsessed with the concept of a "vital energy field" which doth surround us. He dubbed it "orgone"; which to me is a combination of "orgasm" and "ozone"; a neologism which perfectly captures the essence of electricity, aura, and sexual energy that he was reaching for. "Orgone energy" was raw vitality that flowed in an in-out pattern. Too much was as bad as too little. Reich was very interested in the problems of sexual repression of his day-the hornyness of old-school males. He saw orgone buildup as a problem releaseable by proper orgasm. Also, low orgone was a massive problem. Low elan vital. He invented a crackpot device to gain orgone-the "orgone accumulator"-a box lined with tinfoil in which one would lie.
All errors re Reich mine; I am pulling this stuff directly out of my bottom.
glad i can inspire you.
