My dear Neill:
I have just received your letter of September 25th. I am glad
that you are ready to use the Orgone Accumulator and I am hurrying
to answer your questions. The outer walls can be of stone too, but it would
be better if you would fill the gap between the inner metal lining and the
stone wall with, say, newspaper. The main point in the functioning of
the box in regard to the organism is that the inner metal lining should
not be at a greater distance from the body than six to eight inches. If
your closet has the dimensions of about five feet high, three feet deep
and two feet wide, then it is all right. That answers your thought con
cerning the radio operator within the Faraday cage, who did not observe
any effects. A Faraday cage has too big holes in the metal wall, also the
metal walls are too far removed from the body. Well, I want you to
make all the experiences quite by yourself, but you have to use the
Orgone accumulator every day once or twice for about a half hour and
for weeks and months in one stretch.
I want you to do that also for another purpose. The longer the war
will stretch, the more diseases will arise, the more the value of a cheap
and highly effective biological energy will be appreciated by the com
mon people, and I want you to have the experiences gathered by then.
Your discourse on manure and Maul und Klauenseuche [foot and
mouth disease] was a great help. I understood suddenly from what
you told about· Howard's work, that the chemical industries are not
only not curing diseases, but more, they are creating diseases, and I
am going right ahead to clear that question. Thank you for your sug
gestion.
It is better that you are naked than with clothes on within the box,
and please, watch your temperature, whether it rises when you are in
the box for some time and how much.
Your suggestion regarding the danger of easy cancer cure is very true.
I had it myself. But let's see later, first we have to put the boxes into
action. Write again soon and much.
