Bit like phlogiston, or "the ether" or "god" or Wellyfish's view of economics. Ejaculate from a fantasist.

 

[Odds]

I does collect orgone and it has a vague relevance to phlogiston.
"Ejaculate from a fantasist," is closer than you think.

Listening to Space Ritual recently inspired this q. but it appears to have hit the wall so go google Wilhelm Reich for the answer.

It was Orgone as the mythical "life energy" thing which is what I meant, vaguely remembered. Having taken your advice and looked him up I see there was a breadth of nonsense claimed for the quackery. Amazing that there's still a New York basement for the "science".

Yeah, his idea stemmed from Freud and tossed in Eastern mysticism with a side salad of Kinsey. Orgone Energy became a guiding star for the Free Love generation in the 60s and eventually led to a sanitised version for the New Age generation in the 90s. Eileen Drewery had a version of the box with her 'Pyramid' - a wooden frame that Glenn Hoddle sent member's of the '98 World Cup squad to increase their energy and maybe enlighten themselves. It's a shame Gazza didn't have the chance but 'the Romford Pele', Ray Parlour, just sat there and asked her for a "short back and sides please, Eileen."

Next q...?

 

[Justin Passing]

It was just fairy stories.
Why does everyone need fairy stories.
They don't, that wasn't the question.
If only everyone wold realise we're just a bunch of chemicals, with a brain that tried ro keep us alive, and learn to reject the silly imaginings.....


BIt busy right now.

You looked it up, then.
Thought that wasn't in the spirit....

OK not quite so easy to look up -
