If life energy is irritated by certain physical factors, it falls into a rigid state, in which it shows destructive, hostile reactions. This form of energy Reich called DOR, Deadly ORgone. He noted basically two manifestations of DOR: a "natural", of which the origin is not clear that is initially responsible for the emergence of drought and the spread of deserts, and an "artificial", which is caused by a strong atmospheric irritation of orgone energy by technical factors such as nuclear radiation electricity, electromagnetism, etc.
The phenomenon "electrosmog" - the affection of living processes by example electrical equipment, high-voltage wires and radio transmitters - is a phenomenon which Wilhelm Reich described at the beginning of the fifties of the last century. He recognized the negative effects by the irritation of the life energy in the atmosphere and in organisms.
For DOR, there are no technical measurement instruments. But the fact that a physical phenomenon or a subtle form of energy is not measurable, says nothing about its existence. DOR can be perceived by each person. This includes knowledge about the manifestations of DOR, some attention and a certain degree of vitality.
The last point, "a certain vitality" is most likely to describe as "subjective factor". Like Goethe saw Reich the human body as the main instrument of nature exploration. He appealed to himself and his staff great importance to trust one’s own sensory perception and to kepp one’s body and mind in a constitution in that one can trust one’s own perceptions. One should also emotionally be in a position exactly to describe one’s perceptions and to stand to them, even when the circumstances seem difficult.
DOR phenomena come by the ORANUR effect (ORgone Against NUclear Radiation). Reich brought a small amount of radium into a very strong orgone energy field. (The same effect arises, however, when strong doses of aggressive energy can influence a normal concentration of atmospheric orgone energy). As a result, there were two stages. The first was the irritation of orgone energy. In the second stage of the irritated energy stagnated and became DOR.
Reich compared the orgone energy under the influence of the oranur effect with a wild animal, which was captured. First, it rages angrily around in his cage until it finally gives up and resignes. Ultimately, it dies.
Especially for younger people, the irritation by oranur may be experienced as an initial upturn. The irritation is causing hectic and angry reactions, then follows the phase of giving up. This restriction of living experience is finally not even perceived. Children are witnessing this e.g. in school, when they get hyperactive by fluorescent tubes in the first few hours. This is followed by the phase of restriction and inertia.
The DOR-contamination of buildings has reached enormous proportions, given the rapid growth of aggressive energy sources, that have taken hold in the daily life at the workplace and at home, used by anybody. There is no visible phenomena, but primarily tactile "subjective". But what is a subjective phenomenon, if the majority of people complain about headache, sweating, anxieties, hot flashes and similar symptoms in air-conditioned, with fluorescent tubes equipped department stores, supermarkets and hospitals?
Everyone reacts specific to DOR, i.e. the body responds with individual symptoms. As Reich and his colleagues on the oranur experiment everyone suffered by the ill-suffering symptoms, which he already contributed latent in itself. Individual symptoms are: sweats, fatigue, increased pressure inside the head, eyes clouding, tense facial skin, headache, dizziness, weakness, seizures. Once you were in DOR-contaminated areas, one adheres long the feeling that a helmet is on one’s head, it feels sluggish and inwardly and outwardly dirty. After a strong DOR-contamination is one slightly irritable, e.g. one responds the aggression of other road users aggressively.
It is difficult to generalize physical reactions to DOR. Some respond to DOR with fierce urge to empty one’s bowels, others with circulatory problems, rheumatic seizures or depression.
Another crucial factor responsible for the perception of DOR is the habituation. Who stays in a DOR-atmosphere regularly loses the ability of the specific perception. The spontaneous organic and psychological reactions decrease. Most likely chronic biopathies may arise, diseases due to a profound degeneration of vitality.
The "subjective" perception of DOR increases with decreasing DOR contacts, and with higher orgonomic charge.
Also, the use of an ORAC increases the DOR-perception, but also leads to the other part to a more intense affection by DOR. The higher the orgone charge, the more unpleasant the Oranur and DOR effects. To take this phenomenon as the negative effect of ORACs would be pretty short-sighted. Because this sensitization by the ORAC can reasonably only lead to deal with the orgone energy more carefully and to protect oneself from DOR, because one is better able to identify it.
The vitality factor plays a big role. Very lively, young people, or people who a long time have used an ORAC respond to DOR with an individual oranur effect. They are active, aggressive i.e. they respond with increased agitation. If especially vital people constantly expose to oranur, but also in their body DOR is building up. The ending is not as in neurotic "normal" people in an emotional torpor, but the excitement differs an aggressive attitude, that Reich described as emotional plague. The emotional plague is an aggressive especially active and destructive response to the oppression of vitality, that appeares with lively, energetic strong people.
You can observe the oranur effect particularly well at the morning assembly in schools. At the weekend the atmosphere recovered in the classrooms. When the fluorescent tubes on monday in the morning powered, there's an enormous oranur reaction, first in the atmosphere of the rooms, then in the organisms. And that solves particularly among children very great excitement, leads to hyperactivity and aggressiveness. Many teachers describe this phenomenon and carry it on the irritation, the children suffer on weekends through television and disturbed family relationships. That may be a factor, but the schools are, as they are invariably supplied with fluorescent tubes, the most DOR-contaminated buildings.
