I have seen a t.v program ( I think it was a BBC program ) about Sigmund Freud. In it there was a short story about one of his students who left his school of thought and opened is own. I know there were many who did so (Jung etc ) but the thing that made this one special is his ridiculous idea that you can control the weather with sexual energy or something of the sort ! I have not got a clue about this man or his works , have you got any clue ?
Wilhelm Reich respected analyst and writer in his time, he became best known for what he said was the discovery of a physical energy that permeated the atmosphere and all living matter. He called the energy "orgone," and built "orgone accumulators" to detect and harness it for its health benefits, including cures for the common cold, impotence, and cancer. His views on orgone were not accepted by the mainstream scientific community.Orgone energy is the subtle, trans-dimensional energy matrix of the universe. He claimed to have discovered this matrix in the late 1930s. Dr. Wilhelm Reich built orgone accumulators to study the behaviour of orgone, and used it on his patients to treat them for various diseases
