Wilhelm Reich’s groundbreaking book on cosmology, Cosmic Superimposition, describes the cosmos as an ocean of mass-free energy. This ocean, he explains, is composed of energy units that spin forward through space in characteristic spiraling pathways.

Reich’s insight as a natural scientist brings him to the remarkable conclusion that two spiraling and excited energy units have the potential to attract and approach each other until they superimpose. As this occurs kinetic energy is lost, the rate of spiraling motion decreases and the path of motion becomes sharply curved. A change takes place from long-drawn-out spinning forward to circular motion on the spot. Precisely at this moment, inert mass emerges from the slowed down motion of two or more superimposed energy units. These tiny bits of mass, having emerged from frozen kinetic energy, are what we today call atoms. All of these assumptions, made decades ago by Reich, are in full agreement with well-known laws of classical physics as well as quantum theory.

Reich’s theory of mass creation through energetic superimposition is revolutionary because it explains how living and non-living materials are formed. Likewise, superimposing cosmic energy streams are responsible for the formation of planets. Indeed, it is energetic superimposition that characterizes the relationship of the heavenly bodies in the surrounding energy ocean. Reich explains, “Spheres or discs of solid matter spin on a spiraling path within a faster-moving, wavy orgone energy ocean, as balls roll forward on a faster-moving, progressing water wave.” This, he says, explains why the planets spin. Moreover, Reich concludes that this “makes comprehensible the fact that our sun and the planets move in the same plane and in the same direction, held together in space as a cohesive group of spinning bodies.”
