Cloudbuster Icarus
What's in the name?
Some readers of the Pulse have asked why the experimental cloudbuster used in our field research is named Icarus. One questioner wonders why we do not use the name Daedalus, from the same Greek Legend. In the legend, Daedalus and his son, Icarus, escaped from the isle of Crete by making wings of wax and feathers. Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the Sun, but his son ignored the warning. Icarus soared higher and higher until, finally, his wings melted and he fell into the sea. Daedalus, who safely stayed at lower altitude, and who did not soar to the heights, made it back to the mainland. Daedalus was also credited with the invention of the Labyrinth, a complicated maze in which the half-bull, half-man Minotaur was confined. On the surface, these myths seem to condemn Icarus for his foolhardiness, in ignoring the wise words of his father and flying too close to the Sun. But upon analysis, the myth indicates something else. Daedalus played it safe, and never experienced either the ecstasy of soaring, nor of touching the Sun, nor of the fall (surrender). The young Icarus yields to feeling and soars; he melts; he surrenders and drowns in the sea, which is a metaphor for oceanic feeling, or sea of emotion. Daedalus, instead, traps his bull-like rage inside the complex Labyrinth of armored structure, and cannot soar, cannot melt, or feel deeply, except for sorrow at the loss of his untamed son, Icarus. In this sense, Daedalus is Reich's Homo normalis, afraid to make any deep contact with nature or self, while Icarus is the Child of the Future. The essence of this interpretation of the Icarus myth was captured in a large bronze sculpture by Charles Umlauf. I first observed that bronze statue of Icarus in 1977, in front of Nichols Hall at the University of Kansas Space Technology Center, when I was a student there. It captured the ecstacy of Icarus in the fall, or surrender, which also appears as an embrace. Hopefully, in my drawing, I have captured some of Umlauf's portrayal. I was so deeply impressed with Umlauf's sculpture, and this interpretation of the legend, that, in 1977, the newly-constructed cloudbuster was named: Icarus.

HERBAL CONTRACEPTION AND ABORTION IN SEX-POSITIVE CULTURES:
http://www.orgonelab.org/cart/PDF/HerbalContraceptivesFund.pdf
Selected Reprints. Includes reprints of 16 different published and unpublished Scholarly Articles from old anthropology, ethnobotany and pharmacology journals on the subject, clearly demonstrating that so-called "primitive" peoples had known how to control their fertility long before Western science. Also includes information on other books and web sites giving explicit details on herbal abortion methods. This information once brought a death-sentence by burning! c.250pp.

More Ways to Support the ACO
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower” – Albert Camus
Project Update - December 2022
Dear Friend of Orgonomy:
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Phase I of our ACO Living Campus Project was completed in 2019 with a number of new trees purchased and planted. Those trees have grown and flourished. We are now working on how to best utilize the upper part of the property, which is a roughly seven-acre section of natural, unspoiled woods. Read more on our Living Campus Project page.
