@ @@ @@@ _____||_____ ....................................................... ++SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS++ .................................................... ~by Peter Tompkins & Christopher Bird ~~>>>>@<<<<~~ The author wired up his philodendrum with sensory pads and began testing with a type of lie detector graph. He had no idea what to expect from this adventure...and he was amazed. He discovered that plants could tell when people were lying...remembered someone in an experiment who had murdered a plant...went off the scale when there was romantic endeavors in the house and fainted if the "intention" was to do harm to it. It could receive his thoughts about it when he was away on vacation.and looked at a picture of the plant..(the plant still wired up to the graph)...and didn't like it when food was cooked...it would spike when an egg was dropped in a hot skillet. Another of their books: The Secret Life of Soil. @ @@ @@@ _____||_____ ................................................................ You have no doubt heard about playing music for your plants...and how classical music makes them happy and acid/heavy metal irritates them.... When a disease has infected trees, miles away, other trees begin changing their chemistry to defend themselves from the blight. ................................................... THE FINDHORN GARDENS Findhorn, Scottland ................................................. The classic book, "The Magic of Findhorn", written in 1975 by Paul Hawken, is one of the most enchanting books I have read to date! This is a biography of the three founders of the Findhorn Community, Peter and Eileen Caddy and friend, Dorothy Maclean. The "Magic" became reality when they learned how to work by way of channeling with the Devas of the plant world, learning how to manifest what they needed through disciplined thought and following guidance. The results were quite astounding considering their impoverishment which was the motivation for wanting to know how to grow plants on the severely barren Northern shore of Scottland for their own survival. Today, their legacy is an international ecological community. Every year thousands of seekers journey to Findhorn to attend workshops teaching a new life style and ecological change through working with nature. I highly recommend this book! There are several publications about Findhorn, the most current being "Findhorn Gardens." Eilene Caddy penned many books of channeling beginning in the 1970's. All three have passed away. Eilene crossed in 2007. |

THE AUTOMOBILE çİç°çİççİç°çİç°çİç°çİç The grain required to fill a 25-gallon SUV tank with ethanol would feed one person for a year. A 4 liter, naturally aspirated (no turbocharger) car engine running at 2500 rpm will consume 5,000 liters of air per minute, while a person at rest will breathe 6-8 liters of air per minute. Thus the statement that a car burns as much oxygen in a minute as a family of five breathes in a day is reasonably accurate. @ @@ @@@ |><|><||><|><| |

COMMUNING WITH A TREE ............................................................... (Excerpt from: "Secrets from the Lives of Trees" by Jeffrey Goelitz) The trunk of a tree has a spiral clockwise energy pattern which helps bring light from the crown of the tree to the earth which in turn, helps amplify the earth's energy. Not all types of trees give out energy in the same way. An apple tree gives back energy into its fruit and the human eating it receives a certain energy band from it. A redwood tree would transmit light more directly to the planet. Trees have balancing qualities which heal one's aura if they sit in a field of trees. If, however, a person sat there with negative thoughts, he would not absorb many of the healing energies...that is why the soft heart is so important in being able to be sensitive to all forms of energy. The soft heart is a peaceful energy that blends harmoniously with a tree. A tree picks up any vibration that a human consciously puts out to it or even someone casually walking by. When a tree responds to you, you receive its colors and frequencies. The grandmother and grandfather trees are highly intelligent life forms..." ............................................................... It's the oldest trees that do the most efficent work of drawing water from deep within the earth...breathing out the moisture that creates rain...the smallest of sapings cannot yet do this. the Native Americans call trees Standing People...the beauty of native spirituality is that it sees the connectedness of everything and knows that everything has a voice that wants to be heard. And it knows to pay respect to everything because of the benefits nature brings to mankind. Remember, Buddha's enlightenment came after spending a great deal of time meditating under the Bodhi tree. ~~>>>>>>>>>>>>@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<~~ ............................................................. BREATHING WITH A TREE ............................................................. I have found that just observing plants or trees...and knowing they are sentient will bring you into a connection...It is a subtle "feeling" that can be felt. Find a tree that seems special to you....then conciously breathe it in..(trees make oxygen and use what we exhale.) then imagine the tree breathing in your exhalation..do this for a few minutes or as long as you enjoy it....and.... See what subtle feeling you experience. ĈĈĈĈĈĈĈĈĈĈĈ| ~ THE RAINFORREST~ ĈĈĈĈĈĈĈĈĈĈ| I like to envision a world of vegetarian peaceful people inhabiting it. I doubt in a million years that will happen. if ever. Why worry about it? Because daily, 300,000 acres of forrests are being destroyed and much of it for cattle grazing ..oddly, most of the trees are burned and wasted, adding to the insult on nature. The ground is not meant to bear the use as pasture land fully sunlit. Within a short time the top soil will be depleted. The soil having no nutrients or moisture creates a viscious cycle: no trees to create rain, water tables used up and the ground becomes sterile. A waste land. I've read that every civilization that stripped it's land of trees ended up with droughts and famine and the civilizations disappeared...The Mayans, the Greeks and the Romans etc... The Rainforrests are also directly related to our ocean currents either warming or cooling. And in the end, continents rise and fall, Earth re-shapes and shifts, healing Herself and life goes on.

THE LOVING WOODS ..................................... It was the summer of 1998 that five of us read and traded the same books to have a base of common interest and knowledge...We read Findhorn Gardens, Elves of Lillyhill Farm, Black Dawn-Bright Day, Rain Forest in Your Kitchen. By the end of a month, our heads were swimming and absorbing what is it to be in touch with nature and the essense of life. During that time, Sandi and I went out to the country to meet Albert to look at a small acreage for sale. It was obvious this land had not been touched for many years, if at all! While they were immediately walking around looking and talking, I stopped at the edge of the grounds and said a prayer of respect for what was there...that, ' my intention was peace and love and would like to enjoy it's beauty.' When entering, I began looking carefully as I went, so as not to tread on delicate flowers, and ground covers. It took a little bit of time to get through the place and down through the deep gullies and thickets of wild berries. Finaly I found a spot that I especially liked which seemed like a natural clearing and sat on a fallen tree. I imagined a cute little cob house with a carefully crafted pathway to its door....then realized how difficult it would be to build even a small house there without disturbing the natural beauty. I "thought" to the lifeforce of the forest that I would not want to hurt anything there, but how nice it would be to have a lovely little house there and share its beauty. It was time to go and I carefully chose my path back to the others, who were by now, close to the edge of the property. As we were leaving I started to speak to Sandi when I received the biggest jolt of love energy into my heart chakra!! It was so intense that I was emotionally not able to hold it all. Sandi and Albert waited patiently as I moved through the flood of love filled tears. I thanked the lifeforce with my love-filled feelings/energy....and we left... Albert bought the land. --------------------- Update 1. --------------------- Within the year, Albert was able to purchase the land. With a vision, he contracted to have two ponds put in...transforming the ravenes into water sheds....but things went wrong from the beginning. The bulldozers came in and most of the trees were taken out of the front half of the land. The major pond wouldn't hold and flooded. The second pond silted up with in months.. Sandi and I went out to see the results. It was barren in most of the front with a few trees standing starkly by the front of the road.. The land felt sullen and broken..I sat on the scraped raw dry dirt. There was no response. Albert was visibly upset. "well Albert, it will take some time for this to heal." "yeh," he said, "I didn't think the bulldozers would do this much damage." For several years there was a For Sale sign on the frontage road. No buyers. --------------------------- Update 2. (1/06) ............................... We had a party and Albert came to town to join us and friends.. I asked how things were going out at the 'place'. He's planning to build his burm house. Sadly, he said, as he waved his arm like spreading over everything," The ponds have farm chemicals in them now. That's what happens when you're next to a farm." I was really sad to hear that..he had the ponds stocked with fish. Now I worry about his living in a place that is sprayed with chemical vapors every season. And the sweet land....with it's love and gratitude....unrecognized but by three of us. Sad. So goes the world. ---------------------------------- Love is everywhere if you just look for it ....................................... If you have a small area of earth, make a sacred space in it..no matter how small....and bless it. Give Gratitude. Give it flowers, love offerings, extra water with blessings......Let love form and live in this little treasure of space. |
