This is a concise guideline for future life energy theologians, philosophers, and clergy. Those practicing Life Energy Theology will need this kind of background to function effectively in meeting people’s metaphysical needs, leading them to spiritual health, and contributing to the theoretical and practical knowledge base of a natural religion rooted in cosmic or orgone energy.
The character requirements are most important. A person joining the clergy of the Universal Life Energy Religion will need to have the capacity to experience a healthy full body orgasm with the satisfaction of the discharge of all or nearly all excess bio-energy. Repression of the function of the orgasm by bio-psychological armoring gives rise to all of the destruction and murder of life now attributed to the Devil, the Demonic, and Satan. See The Function of the Orgasm by Wilhelm Reich (N.Y., Noonday Press, various editions). Repression of this primal function also causes blockage of the life-affirmative spiritual energy making expansion into the higher metaphysical dimensions difficult. Migrating spiritual energy bodies carrying deadly psychic energy will more likely be trapped in the hellish death zones. See Birthright by Timothy Alberino (MT., Alberino Publishing, 2020). Therefore, Life Energy Theologians / Clergy will be expected to have a love partner and their own children. Celibacy is discouraged, unless temporary due to physical illness or unavoidable circumstances. Even in circumstances where no loving partner is available, periodic masturbation, and “friends with benefits,” can provide a decent outlet for sexual energies. Celibacy produces deadly stagnant or immobilized life (orgone) energy within the body (DOR), and, sooner or later, destructive behavior and organic disease. See The Cancer Biopathy by Wilhelm Reich (N.Y., Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, various editions).
A course of treatment of medical orgone therapy, core energetic therapy, bioenergetics, or other offshoot of medical orgone therapy, with a trained therapist is a basic requirement of all who want to do this work. This will restore the capacity to experience deep orgasm, increase empathy for life, and tend to help a person be more effective in their work and personal life. In other words, it should increase orgastic potency. See: Character Analysis by Dr. Wilhelm Reich, Translated by Dr. Theodore P. Wolf (N.Y., Orgone Institute Press, 1949); The Function of the Orgasm, Sex-Economic Problems of Biological Energy, by Dr. Wilhelm Reich, Translated from the German by Dr. Theodore P. Wolf (N.Y., Noonday Press, 1961); Man in the Trap by Dr. Elsworth F. Baker ((Princeton, N.J., The American College of Orgonomy Press, 2000); A Way of Life: Core Energetics by Stuart Black (N.Y., iUniverse Inc., 2004); Joy by Dr. Alexander Lowen (N.Y., Penguin Books, 1995); Core Energetics by Dr. John C.

As to educational requirements, a person entering into this life energy work needs to be well-trained in philosophy, theology (including astrotheology), developmental psychology, sociology, political science, natural and social science, functional mysticism, paranormal science / parapsychology and UFO studies, energy medicine, law, general world history and the history of orgonomy. They must be able to perform basic experiments and atmospheric observations demonstrating the existence of orgone energy (life energy). The Life Energy Theologian / Clergy will need to be trained in spiritual energy release and healing. The goal of the Life Energy Theologian is to strip away layers of spiritual armor, and help the person reach his core spiritual energy (CSE). This will resurrect the inner Christ Archetype and reunite the transcendent and immanent spiritual energy in a functional unity that expresses itself in the function of the orgasm. Core spiritual energy powers the stars and galaxies.
People will need to have a personal guide or mentor in the Life Energy to supervise and certify their work. These educational requirements can be acquired both formally and informally. Ideally, academic degrees in relevant fields, combined with independent study and continuing education, would be sufficient. Any other background of education and experience can be evaluated by a qualified Life Energy Theologian. Functional ability is more important than formal credentials. Certification in Life Energy Theology will eventually be a function of a still to be created College of Life Energy Theology. Until such time as a college can be established, certification will be made by existing qualified Life Energy Theologians.
Practitioners of Life Energy Theology will be expected to support themselves independent of their activities as Life Energy Theologians / Clergy. There will be no “church” and no full-time practitioners. Institutions inevitably kill the truth of the knowledge they are trying to transmit. History demonstrates that institutions and permanent organizations can and do frequently turn into the exact opposite of what their founders intended. The tragic fate of established religions and political ideologies testifies to this fact. It is anticipated that small study / worship groups will temporarily form to explore the metaphysical realities of the Life Energy much as Jesus traveled with a group of 12 disciples.
The Revelatory Event (“Primal Event”) that is at the core of Life Energy Theology took place during an experiment Dr. Wilhelm Reich performed in 1951 to see if the Life Energy could neutralize nuclear fallout and treat radiation sickness. He engaged in the experiment in response to the outbreak of the Korean War. During the experiment an emergency situation developed when the borderline between biophysics and metaphysics temporarily dissolved. The natural scientific and philosophic basis of God emerged. Good and evil revealed itself. See The Oranur Experiment by Wilhelm Reich, M.D. (Rangeley, Maine, The Wilhelm Reich Foundation, 1951). Later, in a recorded statement, Dr. Reich expressed how utterly alone he felt in understanding the deep philosophical implications of the experiment. He thought that not a single co-worker or student knew what Oranur had revealed. The entire report and recorded statement (on an audiotape entitled “Alone”) can be currently be obtained from the Wilhelm Reich Museum in Rangeley, Maine. An excerpt of the “Oranur Experiment” is included in Reich’s Collected Work (see citation below).
