   This moved me so. I have long felt a deep connection to trees that I thought was weird. I have a desire to physically embrace them. Sometimes I do. As I live in an urban environment I am, at times, in the vision of others. This can make me self conscious, but I still do it. I just feel such a deep love for them.

   Thanks for your heartfelt words Dawn. Perhaps we can identify some spiritual reasons for your secret, abiding love of trees, because my investigations suggest that trees among other things, are also a rich source of uplifting spiritual energy?

   The ‘luminous-numinous’ experience with the dying ash tree awoke many aspects of my deeper self, especially my spiritual Sherlock. He launched me on a journey of spiritual investigation that revisited the pivotal work of two of Freud’s former students, Wilhelm Reich and Carl Jung. Independently, they explored the transition state of life following radically divergent research paths. One used microscopes while the other used fantasies to probe the transition zone.

   In order to answer the overarching question: “Was it spirit or matter” that presented itself to me that night?”, I found myself crossing many boundaries to get to the facts. The choices were difficult: “Is there an understandable conclusion to this weird event that is worth pursuing, or will it get buried in my messy unsolved file? Do I try to use my shamanic or my rational vision to try to understand the event?”

   While Jung’s research yielded very little useful information about the transition zone of life, Reich’s research pointed to orgone energy as the most likely explanation for the large amount of bioluminescence (30-40 ft) that I observed that night. America’s premier orgone investigator, Dr. James DeMeo reviewed my material and agrees that what I saw was an interesting display of orgone plasma. This plasmic cloud extended about 30-40 ft along the length of the fallen ash tree, and I now believe it was produced by several environmental energies including mine, combining and reorganizing to produce an extraordinary phenomenon.
   According to the science of orgonomics, orgone energy is ubiquitous in the universe and known by other names like prana or chi. Orgone energy is produced by lifeless blue bions that can be seen in the transition zone of life which occurs wherever life breaks down into its constituent parts (swamps, cemeteries, underground, landfill sites). Bions have an affinity for water, move from areas of low to high concentration, and are amplified by electromagnetic fields. Trees are orgone accumulators that can store large amounts of blue bions taken mainly from ground water. A mature tree uses on average about 40-50 gals a day, most of which is transpired as water vapour around the tree. Anyone who spends time around/with trees will absorb those bions thru inhalation as well as transdermally as uplifting spiritual energy. Indeed, trees are magnets to some of us seeking spiritual nourishment.

   Siddhārtha Gautama sat and meditated under a fig tree (bodhi tree) until he discovered his Buddha nature, and attained enlightenment. His singular, outstanding example of spiritual ascension proved to my mind that living trees are far more powerful for spiritual transformation than the greatest stone cathedrals.
