Mind Over Matter?

There seems to exist a built-in communication system at the cellular level that
may have its roots at the molecular level. Studies that demonstrate this have
been conducted repeatedly, with great success, for decades. The work of Cleve
Backster, a polygraph examiner, initiated many of these studies back in the mid
60's.
In the book, The Secret Lives of Plants, the authors, Peter Tompkins,
and Christopher Bird, write of Backster's many experiences with plants. The
first of these experiences was when, on an impulse, Backster decided to attach
the electrodes of one of his lie detectors to the leaf of a plant in his
office. He did this in order to see if the plant would be affected after being
watered, how so, and by when. The electrodes were also connected to a
galvanometor so as to record any changes that might take place.
In the events of that evening, Backster soon discovered that by just thinking
of causing harm to the plant, the plant would react so strongly so as to cause
a dramatic change in the tracing pattern on the graph. It was as if the plant
could read his mind, and knew of his intentions to hurt it. This experiment
caused Backster to undertake the most meticulous investigation into the
phenomena that plants are sentient.
What Backster started led to all sorts of studies indicating that cells respond
to thought. In fact, study after study has shown that the rate of how fast
seeds sprout as well as plants grow increases when they are influenced with
positive thoughts and healing energy. Studies also suggest that plants seem to
have some way of remembering information at the cellular level. Not just plant
cells, but all cells. After all, it is at the cell level where biological
intelligence is given the environment to exist.
The big question to ask is whether the communication system between people and
plants is a two way street. After all George Washington Carver one of the
nation's greatest educators and agricultural researchers was known to talk to
plants and ask them for ways they could be used efficiently. Carver's seemed to
have a great rapport with plants and his work resulted in the creation of 325
products from peanuts, more than 100 products from sweet potatoes and hundreds
more from a dozen other plants native to the South.
It is believed that everyone can develop a similar kind of rapport with plants,
as did George Washington Carver. Using a process whereby you project your
mental senses into a plant, and imagine and study the plant at its different
levels and depths, seems to help develop this special connection or rapport
with plant life.
There are five levels or depths to plant life and each of those levels and
depths radiates energy that can be detected with your mental senses. This
energy radiation can be detected in the form of images, intensity of light,
sensations, sounds, odors and /or a certain taste. The five levels are:
The best way to go about this process is to project your intelligence into
three different plants, one at a time. Experiment with plants you are familiar
with, such a your houseplants. If possible, select plants that are considerably
different from each other.
After selecting your plants and before the exercise, set a small piece of each
plant, side by side in order to make the objective impressions. Take a few
moments to touch them, raise them up towards the light and notice how much
light passes through them, crush a small piece of each plant and notice the
odor. Observe the distinctions between the three plants from an external point
of view.
During the exercise, you will be able to observe the plants from an internal
point of view noticing the distinctions between them. You will be able to make
comparisons and establish subjective points of reference along the way. It is
through these points of reference that you are able to establish rapport with
plant life. Simply stated, you now understand them better.
Once you have established your subjective points of reference and have
developed a "connection" with your plants, you are ready to successfully
conduct the following experiments. These experiments will build conviction in
that your mind is powerful and can easily influence matter at the cellular
level.
Additional Experiments Or Exercises
Experiment #1 - Asking A Plant to Divide Into Two
-
Select a plant that has become too big for its pot, and you want to separate
into two pots.
-
Enter a meditation and imagine the plant. Communicate with the plant, through
thoughts and images, what you plan to do in 24 hours. Ask it to help you in
separating it by relaxing and releasing its roots from each other down the
middle, making it easy to separate it into two plants.
-
Imagine the roots of the plant doing as you asked, then imagine you separating
the plant easily into two plants and finally, placing them in their pots.
-
Open your eyes and keep the mental image of the separated plant in your mind
until the next day.
-
Expect to be surprised!
Experiment #2 - Energizing Seeds To Grow Faster
-
Get a small bag of beans such as pinto beans, and soak them overnight.
-
In the morning, take the beans out of the water, separate the beans into two
groups, and place each group into a zip-lock bag. Label the bags #1 and #2.
-
Take bag #1 of beans in your hands, walk into a different room, away from Bag
#2, and enter a meditation.
-
Hold the beans between your hands and imagine blue-white energy flowing from
your right hand to your left hand and through the beans.
-
Imagine the beans absorbing this blue-white energy, the skin breaking open, and
the sprouts beginning to shoot out. Do this for at least five minutes.
-
Imagine bag #1 full of greenery, and open your eyes.
-
Place bag #1, and bag #2 in a well lit area, and observe for a few days.
-
Expect to be surprised!
Plants have contributed immensely to advancements of all kinds and they have
greatly improved the quality of our living experience. In addition, humans need
plants in order to survive, whereas plants do not necessarily need humans to
survive. By doing these exercises and experiments you open the mental and
spiritual door that connects you to other life forms. We suggest you don't stop
with plants continue with your mental exploration with other life forms such as
animals and other human beings as well. Enjoy your explorations, and your green
thumb too!
