Researchers can now create two dimensional images of this spontaneous photon emission using highly sensitive CCD cameras. It correlates with cerebral blood flow, brain energy metabolism, and EEG activity. Metabolically active biological systems emit somewhere between 100,000 and 1,000,000 photons per square centimeter per second. Plant systems show chlorophylls as the final emitters. Animal tissues display protein oxidation patterns in their spectra.
These biophoton emissions aren't random noise. They fluctuate with changes in cerebral blood flow and energy metabolism. Researchers are still figuring out exactly how, but photon stimulation at one nerve end triggers increased emission at the other. The phenomenon appears across biology. Seed germination capacity correlates with emission patterns. Human skin reveals oxidative processes through its photon output. This offers a noninvasive way to monitor tissue health across different organisms.
Voltage gradients work alongside these light emissions. Bioelectric signals include voltage gradients, electric fields, and ion flows that operate from organelle membranes up to whole organism scales. Ion channels and pumps maintain resting transmembrane potentials, creating spatial gradients that act like scaffolding during development. These voltage patterns guide embryogenesis and organ regeneration. They instruct left right body symmetry, trigger eye formation, control size, and orchestrate complex organ regeneration by coupling bioelectric changes to gene transcription and epigenetic modifications.
Through epithelial tissues, electric fields stretch across considerable distances. These transepithelial currents detect damage and guide cell migration during wound healing. Slowly varying direct currents conducted through epithelial networks steer growing neurons to their destinations. The heart generates especially strong rhythmic fields. You can detect electrocardiograms and magnetocardiograms several feet from the body. Other people and animals can apparently sense this information. R waves from one person's ECG can synchronize with alpha waves in another person's EEG, a phenomenon called cardiac induced entrainment.
Neural activity creates electromagnetic fields that feed back on the neurons themselves. Local fields help synchronize the neural networks that generate them, affecting both immediate firing patterns and longer rhythms like circadian cycles. Inside cells, microtubules facilitate wave propagation along their length. All these coupled oscillations contribute to biological organization through electromagnetic fields at the subcellular level.
These discoveries have practical applications. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has FDA approval for difficult bone fractures that won't heal normally. Cochrane reviews back up the benefits. Gas discharge visualization and ultraweak photon emission measurements can monitor oxidative stress in skin without invasive procedures. The spatial and temporal patterns expose how tissues respond to environmental stress. Studies of therapeutic touch, healing touch, and reiki show modest but real effects. Pain drops about one point on a ten point scale. Hospitalized cardiac patients report less anxiety. Women undergoing radiation therapy for gynecologic cancers show improved wellbeing measures. Randomized controlled trials confirm that external qigong significantly reduces chronic pain.

Water's unusual properties provide a physical basis for biofield interactions. Quantum electrodynamics describes liquid water as existing in two phases simultaneously. One phase is coherent, with molecules locked in phase correlation. The other is incoherent, more like a gas of uncorrelated molecules. This matters because biological tissues contain essentially all interfacial water, always close to macromolecular surfaces. Near hydrophilic surfaces, coherent water domains emerge, creating electrically charged exclusion zones that push out solutes. These zones display what can only be described as strange properties that trace back to collective oscillations in the water itself and at water boundaries.
Proteins and DNA undergo coherent collective oscillations visible through Raman and far infrared spectroscopy. The frequencies run from 0.1 to 10 terahertz. These oscillations generate electromagnetic fields that can mediate interactions over surprisingly long distances. They act as ordering influences. The electrodynamic activity covers a huge range from kilohertz to terahertz, tied to how subcellular structures vibrate mechanically.

The Relaxation Circuit and Human Bipolarity | L.E. Eeman
L.E. Eeman's research into human radiations began in 1919 following his service as a Flight Commander in the Royal Flying Corps, when conventional medicine failed to resolve his neurasthenia and acute insomnia. Through systematic experimentation, he discovered a force that could be conducted through copper wires and manipulated to produce therapeutic effects, though its nature remained unidentified even after three decades of investigation.
Conducted through copper wires, human radiations demonstrate bipolar behavior along three planes: head to feet, right side to left, and back to front. In right-handers of both sexes, the Head and Right hand carry positive polarity while the base of the Spine and Left hand carry negative polarity. Left-handers show complete reversal, a distinction that proved essential for circuit effectiveness. The relaxation circuit itself requires straightforward apparatus: two copper gauze mats about one foot square connect via insulated copper wire some ten feet long to two metal handles. One mat goes under the head, the other under the sacrum. Holding the handle connected to the Head in the Left hand and the one connected to the Spine in the Right hand, the subject crosses their feet to short-circuit opposing polarities at the extremities.
This configuration produces automatic physiological changes. Voluntary muscles relax progressively. Pulse becomes slower and stronger. Respiration slows and deepens with more complete deflation. Blood pressure lowers when elevated. Salivation increases. The voice drops in pitch. The tension circuit reverses everything by linking Left hand to Spine and Right hand to Head. Tension builds rapidly. Restlessness grows. Discomfort escalates to unbearable levels within minutes for some subjects.
Without artificial energy of any kind, the circuit operates through mechanisms distinct from conventional electricity. The copper gauze mats don't require skin contact since the force transmits through clothes, blankets, and fairly thick cushions. When insulated copper wire is severed with the two ends resting a few inches apart on a glass-topped table, conduction of at least some unidentified forces continues, suggesting phenomena more akin to light, gravitation, and magnetism than electromagnetism. Reversing from tension to relaxation produces nearly immediate reactions, typically evidenced by a sigh, but the opposite direction requires a time lag proportional to the duration spent in the relaxation circuit. The no-reaction state arrives when potential differences disappear, usually within half an hour to one hour, signaling that the combination of subjects has completed all available curative work. Groups wired in parallel or series demonstrate effects proportional to their numbers, with a single subject using a circuit designed for twenty people producing stronger and quicker reactions than one wired for a single person.

Having established that human radiations could be conducted and manipulated for therapeutic effect, Eeman questioned whether specific substances might transmit their properties through the same conductive medium. Placing drugs, sera, vaccines, and other substances in series within the relaxation circuit produces specific physiological effects without ingestion or injection. Each substance possesses its own specific or atomic resonant frequency, which human radiations propagate through the circuit as carrier waves. Subjects produced remarkably detailed accounts of sensations and bodily reactions. These included blood pressure and circulation changes. Respiration patterns shifted. Muscle tone altered. Salivation and gastric gland action varied. Neuritic pains appeared. All reactions proved suitable to the nature of each medicine though administered only as electric oscillations and radiation. Some subjects even identified specific elements or compounds like iodine or narcotics. One subject maintained complete silence throughout a five-minute test with distilled water, the only occasion of silence except when narcotics produced sleep.
Co-operative healing circuits linking multiple subjects produce mutual therapeutic effects through several mechanisms. For fever and infection cases, temperature reduction occurs when infectious fever patients join with healthy though not immune subjects, with further reduction when convalescent subjects enter the circuit, paralleling convalescent serum therapy. After three successful circuits the no-reaction state typically emerges, but inoculating the normal subject against the patient's condition restores significant reactions within three more circuits. Drug addicts and alcoholics introduced into circuits produce narcotic effects in healthy subjects that become mild when distributed across many people rather than shattering for one or two. Radionic diagnostic apparatus confirmed these therapeutic mechanisms through measurable rate changes. A compound of some 3,000 urines from patients suffering primarily from infections changed glandular rates within ninety seconds, with Anterior pituitary, Posterior pituitary, and Suprarenal rates fluctuating diversely among three subjects rather than uniformly. Mid-brain efficiency dropped from 68 to 42 within five minutes when thumbs and first fingers were crossed, then recovered to 74 when all opposites were joined. Perhaps most significantly, silk conductors produce identical results to copper wire, confirming that the force operates through non-electrical mechanisms despite behavioral similarities to electromagnetism.

WHAT IS ORGONE ENERGY AND ITS RELATION TO OTHER FORMS OF ENERGY
A comparative study between Reich’s orgone energy and other known energies of the past has been discussed in the first part of the talk. Generally, those energies were called by different names even though they had the same basic characteristics. One of the most accepted and widespread terms that might encompass all of these is aether. Its functions were studied in all epochs of our recent civilization both inside and outside public institutions. In 1905, Einstein’s Annus Mirabilis, the (luminiferous) aether was removed from mainstream science and no longer reintroduced. Notwithstanding that, the aether continued to be thoroughly studied by many independent researchers and scientists outside of academic circles. From the present investigation it emerged that orgone energy presents many similarities with most of the ancient and more recent forms of energy, and it can be identified with them. Besides, the (luminiferous) aether of the Victorian age might be considered directly related to Reich’s orgone energy in that they have in common very basic physical qualities.
The second part of the talk is focused on the relationship between orgone energy (or aether), a pre-atomic energy (in Reich’s terms) and its secondary by-products, nowadays considered the primary pillars of traditional physics. Presently, the laws of physics are based on the behaviour of inanimate objects. The basic processes of living matter (such as pulsation, lumination, condensation into matter, irritability, and heat formation) and their animation are excluded from the fundamental assumptions. This led over time to a sterile and limited conception of physical phenomena. Striking evidence of this limited understanding is illustrated by the Brownian Movement misnomer whereby the living motion of Clarkia Pulchella pollen (looking much like bions) has been reduced to and studied as merely a movement of inert, dead particles (Jones, 2013; Maglione, 2014). The orgone energy continuum is of non-electrical nature and is substantially different from electromagnetic energy. It is the medium through which electromagnetic waves propagate in space, a conception already in use before Einstein’s Annus Mirabilis (1905), and even by the early Einstein (1894-5 first paper). Electromagnetic waves are simply a disturbance of the orgone continuum that propagate through it with a pulsating movement. Friction (static) electricity is a manifestation of orgone energy in an excited or Oranur state, while heat is a particular manifestation of the movement of orgone energy particles due to the conversion of part of their kinetic energy into heat when hitting metallic layers or materials. This latter conception promptly invalidates the second law of thermodynamics (and entropy). Matter is formed by the superimposition of two or more excited orgone energy particles that converge and start rotating at luminal velocity.
The talk’s conclusion stresses the point that orgone energy, as well as its secondary manifestations or by-products, were already known throughout the ages. Reich’s profound research ability led him to introduce for the first time ever, in this historical context, rules and laws within a modern language to understand and manage all the fundamental and secondary qualities of this energy, including the living properties, which have been so neglected by many, even in the more distant past.

The Hidden Geometry of Flowers | Keith Critchlow
Geometric principles govern floral development from seed dormancy through petal display. These mathematical patterns awaken human awareness to universal order.
Seeds exist as points of compressed potential. They can remain dormant for centuries. Fertile grain recovered from Egyptian pyramids and 3,000-year-old Lotus seeds from Japan prove this capacity. Germination follows a geometric sequence. The point-seed thrusts a linear shoot into darkness toward Mother Earth first. Then it extends a second linear shoot upward toward light and sun. This establishes the progression from point to line to plane to solid. Traditional Hopi farmers understood this geometry intuitively. They stored corn seeds in underground sanctuaries called kivas with radicals aligned to Earth's geomagnetic field. The Russian Academy of Science confirmed this practice in the 1940s, naming it magnetotropism. Correctly oriented seeds proved many times stronger and more fertile than randomly oriented seed. Flowers function as natural reminders of mathematical consciousness through Plato's concept of anamnesis or remembering. An ancient Japanese maxim captures this perfectly: civilization was born when the first person offered a loved one the first flower. The beauty and balance of a flower's face constitute the most natural and repetitive reminders of mathematical and spatial order. They make what we live in a cosmos, not a chaos.
This geometric unfolding manifests directly in phyllotaxis, the spiral arrangements of leaves around plant stems. The patterns follow Fibonacci ratios to maximize light exposure while minimizing crowding. Leaves distribute themselves to help other leaves receive their share of light. They serve the whole organism's interest. Different species employ specific angles. Beech and hazel trees use one third full rotation at 120 degrees. Oak and apricot employ two fifths. Poplar and pear use three eighths at 135.28 degrees. Willow and almond spiral five thirteenths at 136.6 degrees. These angles represent calculated proportions from Fibonacci fractions. They tend toward the golden 137.508 degrees without ever reaching it. Consider the genetic spiral of a two-fifths phyllotaxis with five orthostichies. It contains the whole spiral strategy within fivefold symmetry, passing twice around the stem axis. This produces the two-fifths fraction and 144 degrees between successive leaves.
The golden ratio of 1.618033989 represents archetypal number manifesting in material form. It operates across scales from molecular to cosmic. The ratio emerges from the icosahedron, Plato's symbol of water, which has 20 faces, 12 points, and 30 edges. Its internal diagonal proportion equals the square root of five plus one divided by two. When multiplied by itself it becomes 2.618033989, maintaining identical irresolvable sequences beyond the decimal point. Kepler called this property a jewel. Sacred geometry connects flower proportions to temple architecture in striking ways. The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem employs proportions from the pentacle or five-pointed star, used throughout history by masonry guilds. Professor Alexander Thom's analysis of Welsh stone circle Moel Ty Uchaf shows that ancestors practiced literal geo-metry. The DNA molecule cut across exhibits tenfold symmetry revealing golden proportions within its structure. John Martineau discovered remarkable proportions in the mean-orbits of solar system planets. Plato's Timaeus established that proportion coheres the whole universe, called the world soul. This explains why the golden proportion appears in all civilizations' sacred art forms and architecture reflecting their cosmology.

Plato's Timaeus established that proportion coheres the whole universe, called the world soul. This explains why the golden proportion appears in all civilizations' sacred art forms and architecture reflecting their cosmology.
Number operates on three hierarchical levels: archetypal number (incomposite, complete at nine, limited yet real), mathematicians' number (abstract, indefinitely multiple, unlimited), and the numbered (material embodiment, actual numbering). Archetypal numbers remain the qualitative key to numbers themselves. One represents totality and the principle of wholeness. Two constitutes multiplicity and divisiveness, yet it also expresses the twoness of all complementarities. Three reconciles. One establishes, two divides and doubts, three reconciles. Fiveness contains the golden ratio particularly in the arms of the regular five-pointed star or pentacle. It pervades qualities of life in many traditions, including ancient Chinese five elements and five sounds. Sixness characterizes crocuses, tulips, daffodils, and lilies. It's the number of the crystalline world and intervals of creation for Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Six equals the sum of its divisors: 1+2+3=6 and 1×2×3=6, making it a perfect number. Eightness associates with the diatonic octave and anciently with planets visible to the naked eye. It appears in cosmos, clematis, and lotus.
These universal patterns express themselves distinctly in individual flowers. The Balloon flower mysteriously selects between fourfold and fivefold petal symmetries on identical parent plants. Its central pistil follows the symmetry of the petals, challenging sole genetic control. Rose sepals numbering five unfold in sequences resembling continuous five-pointed star drawing. They burst open rhythmically in balanced fashion. Roses show special preponderance to unfold in spiral fashion, which constitutes a major feature of their supreme beauty. St Johns Wort and Periwinkle display very marked spiralling. Water Lily and Passion Flower show far less. The moon daisy demonstrates the complete sequence most clearly. It moves from spherical bud possessing a transparent window to petals within, through cylindrical extension as linear petals unfold in spiral motion, to conical spread as light catches translucent whiteness. The sequence terminates in a flattened disc with yellow centre filling outward into a hemisphere. This yellow centre exhibits mathematical spiralling with left-handed and right-handed spirals. The golden series displays itself clearly between the rows. The large range of symmetries throughout the flowering domain reveals something profound. When petals achieve full extension, archetypal geometric principles operate through infinite particular expressions.
