Festival of Orgone / Epilogue: After the Orgone

Here we have the afterglow of the Festival, a soothing blue fading into a darker cobalt.  The electric pulsing structure dims as it recedes.  The small diamonds of understanding gleaned from the paths explored during the festival twinkle at the edges.  As it passes, the blue pulse of the Orgone briefly reveals the reality grid they grow from.

Festival of Orgone: Revelation of the Sky Father

This is the piece of art that inspired me to create the Festival of Orgone.

With its expanded consciousness, the self-angel becomes aware of its greater purpose within the span of existence.  The ego based terrestrial form of Odin that dissolved within the Orgone is now revealed as an echo of a much greater form, the Sky Father.  After traveling the myriad paths of the Festival of Orgone, the Sky Father is revealed, transformed, and elevated.  The force of Orgone emanates through him as he acts as guardian to the physical plane.

Festival of Orgone: Isis and the Orgone Sea

Within the Orgone Caves the energy reaches a crescendo of expanding awareness.  The Orgone becomes a force of nurturing and sustenance as the traits of the Goddess Isis are loaded into the consciousness matrix of the self-angel.  Awash in the currents of the Aether, the more awareness that enters the matrix, the more that awareness expands.

A sea of Orgone has been generated by the continuous expansion and illuminates this circuit of being to a white hot intensity, purifying all the energy that passes through.  Merging with the very structure of the caves, the self-angel becomes the center of this storm, a gateway, drawing down the vast amounts of Orgone through its merkabah and into the physical realm.

Festival of Orgone / Weekly Mandala: Orgone Orchid Lattice

Within a sea of volatile forces, a faint structure forms.  Here we have a solid earthen compass offering foundation for the growth of Orgone Orchids.  The delicate lattice created by the magnetic compass draws in the negative elements and gently transforms them into beautiful flowers.  The Orchid blooms further transform the extreme energy into the cooler balanced Orgone, sending out luminescent clouds into the surrounding area.

Festival of Orgone: The True Will

The power of the energy pouring into the physical realm through the Merkabah of the self-angel lifts its host form into the sky.  Great empty canyons are surpassed by the unleashed forces as they create balanced structures to support the host.  The host walks across the very air, sustained and held aloft by the waves of Orgone energy.  The Bridge crossed and the Transformation complete, the magus-host is held aloft by the structure of the True Will.

Festival of Orgone: Apophenia

Here we see Apophenia emerging as Goddess of connections.  She coalesces as a crystalline energy around the vertices of the self-angel.  Within the matrix of this Merkabah the self-angel becomes a circuit for piloting the forces of universal change.  The transformation begun in Opening Into Aether is now utter and complete.  There can be no return to the ignorance of the past.  The very world is changed!  The channel to the Aether is forever open, forever active.

Festival of Orgone: Merkabah

Working within its physical host, the self-angel now strives to bring the elements of the physical realm into balance and heal the wounds that created a separation from the understanding of Orgone.  From the Orgone Caves it loads the regenerative and transformative traits of the Scarab.  Using the Scarab's abilities, it transforms the more volatile elements into more useful and balanced energies.  The self-angel then uses the traits of the frog to call forth waters to cool flaring tempers and to heal distant wounds.

Festival of Orgone: Through the Vessel

In the stillness of the Orgone haze, a flower blossoms.  The Bridge into the Aether has been constructed, crossed, and stabilized and new programming has taken seed within the physical.  Now the true work of orgonic alchemy begins as the guiding force of the Orgone emerges.

Festival of Orgone: Within the Temple, the Orgone Seed Blossoms

Within the Temple of the Physical, the seed of the new programming takes root and dramatic energy changes begin. Within the local space time, the seed is activated to create the necessary scenarios for dealing with the higher level challenges discovered by the self-angel.  The seed glows brightly with fresh paradigms as the ego tool activates and upgrades.  The process of the transformation of consciousness begun within the Orgone caves reaches a critical mass and opens a channel into the Aether.  Large amounts of Orgone pour from beyond into the immediate physical area, filling the air with a blue haze.

Festive of Orgone: Deadly Orgone Radiation Generator

As well as attracting darker forces from the depths, the self-angel faces other blockades to higher understanding.  Imbued now with the power of flight, from its higher point of view the self-angel becomes aware of the larger obstacles to its consciousness expansion.  The constructions of ignorant or malignant forces disrupt the immediate environment and generate clouds of Deadly Orgone Radiation (DOR).

Festival of Orgone: Emissaries I, Agent Orgone

As the transformed self-angel rises further into the Aether, the intensity of the angel's light draws darkness to it, casting shadows into the depths of Orgone.  From those depths come creatures blocking the angel's passage to higher realms.  The self-angel is approached by an agent of the depths, but his intentions are oblique.

Festival of Orgone: Orgone Extra

This piece was originally slated as the Orgone Growth Engine, but I felt it was too stable and too well balanced for my vision of that energy. Although structurally pleasing, the growth here is too restrained.  This piece also feels more like a Weekly Mandala. In the end, just not what I wanted for the Growth Engine.

Festival of Orgone / Weekly Mandala: Orgone Lantern

A lantern structure has been built to channel the Orgone and the energy pulses with intensity.  The Spiritual and the Physical are now aligned and the eight channels of the lantern lead the Orgone to greater purpose, shining Orgone light in all directions.  

Festival of Orgone: Transformation

Having crossed the bridge into the unknown and plunged into the well of wisdom, here we have the transformation of self deep within the Orgone.  The layers of the Odin ego melt away to reveal an angelic core identity, genderless and radiant.  The shed ego folds back, transformed into another tool of motility and enlightenment, a cloak of wings to carry the angel aloft.  The flames of the Orgone,  brought to white hot intensity by the energy released during the transformation, lift the wings and carry the angel to higher levels of understanding.

Festival of Orgone: Odin Diving into Orgone

Here we see the masculine figure of Odin diving deep into the multiphasic multigender Orgone energy. Already his boundaries have blurred and any warlike red energy has been transformed into diffuse violets and purples and pinks.  The masculinity has no choice but to give up to this new paradigm.  All his resistance is overwhelmed by the enormity and power of the Aether.  The structures of ego melt away as the new energy of the Orgone surrounds and pervades all areas.  The dive disrupts the immediate surroundings, sending up bubbles and stray bits of identity as Odin begins to melt into the Orgone.

Festival of Orgone: A Bit of History Part II

Wilhelm Reich was plagued by political and 'moral' interference during the later years of his life.   His research into the then taboo subject of sex and his vocal opinions concerning politics did help make him a target during the ultra-paranoid McCarthy Era.  However, Reich's treatment is considered one of the worst cases of censorship in U.S. history: Reich was incarcerated, his materials burned, and his equipment destroyed.  Why was there such extreme resistance to Reich and his ideas?  The FDA incinerated literally tons of Reich's materials, Tons.  Perhaps the injustices of his last years of life are why his story resonates with me so strongly.

Festival of Orgone: Orgone Growth Engine

Here we have the Orgone Bridge established and transformed.  Through the clouds of Aether comes a tumultuous vision.  The electric exchange between the two Orgone columns reveals a multidimensional androgyne Satyr.

Formed from a mixture of forces, Male and Female, Human and Animal, Sexual and Spiritual, the Satyr is crowned and enthroned within its very self.  Becoming a catalyst for the engine, it supercharges the orgone to white hot intensity.  From the maelstrom of its satisfaction, the satyr observes us coolly with an expression of erotic challenge.  Like the Catepillar to Alice, the satyr asks that we understand who we are.  Dare we discover our truth?  Dare we cross the bridge?

Festival of Orgone: Building the Orgone Bridge

Here we move further from the physical and into the light of the Aether.  Energy raises from the here and the beyond, slowly building connective tissue between the two, arcing to bridge the gap.  The Orgone grows grows structures, aligning towards a unification of the spiritual and physical.  Some of the same source material was used to create this piece and Opening into Aether to give a sense of continuity between the two.  The physical elements here have begun to minimize as we focus more upon the mind and spirit.
