James DeMeo's OBRL-News Blog

Organized by James DeMeo, Ph.D., Director of the Orgone Biophysical Research Lab, as an experiment in public outreach on important issues of the day. A central focus is DeMeo's Saharasia discovery and research (atmospheric and social aspects), and the breakthrough discoveries of Wilhelm Reich on orgone biophysics as undertaken in the mid-20th Century. Topics include announcement of events, relevant scientific discoveries, and current events. Prepare to have your assumptions challenged.

Saharasia: Response to Criticism

Over the years, interest in my Saharasia research and findings have grown.  In the process, I have occasionally received rational criticism of my findings in ways which actually were helpful and strengthened the findings, or which were based upon misunderstandings that could be easily corrected.  A few of the reactions, however, have been terribly malicious.  Some of the latter reactions, with misrepresentations about a presentation I made to the 2003 Congress on Matriarchal Studies, are now appearing on websites and e-groups.  Here are two Response articles which address those issues and provide clarifications, setting the record straight.
