How is it potential - as shamans speak - that plants can sway human beings, situations, circumstances, and life energies remotely, as it were? That is, without being used as a form of medical for a definite medical problem, but more as a means of magical attractant, harmoniser, or conduit for spirit, energy, or 'luck'?
Let's ask Cleve Backster, a scientist working in the unlikely field of lie detection and interrogation techniques, whose job was to teach policemen and protection agents how to use polygraph equipment and clarify its results. Backster decided one day to attach the electrodes of a lie detector to the leaf of a dracaena plant to see if the device was sensitive enough to pick up reactions from a non-human subject. Probably not, he mused, but there might be some reaction if he burned the leaf to which the electrodes were attached. The second he plan this - and before he had even picked up a match - there was a dramatic peak in the tracing pattern on the polygraph chart (a trace signature that Backster would at last come to recognise as fear).
Intrigued by this, Backster prolonged his research, testing practically 30 dissimilar plants in the same way: by attaching electrodes to them and then mental of some action he might take towards the plant. The results were always the same.
It was principal that the plants reacted before any action was taken, leading Backster to terminate that not only are plants as sensitive (or even more so) as human beings, but they are also able to read emotions and intentions because there is a form of psychic connection, or affinity, in the middle of plants and people.
As his work progressed, Backster realised that plants react not just to threats, but to presences or movements in their environment. He demonstrated to a group at Yale, for example, that the movement of a spider in the same room as a plant caused changes in the trace patterns of a polygraph to which that plant was attached. The plant had a precognitive sense of the impending and was attuned to intention before the movement itself. "The spider's decision... Was being picked up by the plant", said Backster. "They [plants] seemed to be attuned to animal life".
Backster's other results show that plants have memory, emotions, and very human-like reactions, as well as 'psychic' abilities. In one of his experiments, six students randomly drew lots to see which of them would destroy one of two plants in a room. The someone chosen would commit the murder in private so that Backster and the other students would not know his identity. In fact, only the second plant would know who the murderer was because only it would study the crime.
When the murder was done, Backster attached a polygraph to the surviving plant and paraded his students one by one in front of it. The needle went off the scale when the murderer appeared.
In a kinder experiment Backster also demonstrated the love or empathy in the middle of a plant and its owner. One day he accidentally cut his finger and noticed that a plant being monitored demonstrated a 'stress' reaction of its own, as if it was experiencing Backster's pain and shock at the sight of his blood.
Using this perceived affinity as the basis for his experiment, Backster walked to a dissimilar construction some blocks away and directed loving thoughts towards the plant. The polygraph recording showed a heightened trace as the plant picked up his intentions.
To see how far such thoughts could be transferred, Backster asked a friend to send love to her plants while she was 700 miles away, and then recorded their reactions. By synchronising their watches, Backster was able to prove that not only did the plants reply to their owner's thoughts at the occasion she sent them, but they also felt her anxiety when her plane touched down at her destination.
Even when the plants were locked in a lead container, the results were the same. Anyone created empathy in the middle of plant and human came from something outside the electromagnetic spectrum.
Another lucky urgency led Backster to study this further. One evening, he was about to feed a raw egg to his dog and noticed that as he broke the shell one of his monitored plants reacted strongly. Challenging to see what the plant might be reacting to and what feelings the egg might be transmitting, Backster attached an additional one egg to a galvanometer, and monitored it for nine hours.
What he got was a trace corresponding to the normal heartbeat of a chicken embryo, even though the egg was unfertilized. His closing was that there is a life force or energetic field that connects and is contained within all things.
Another researcher (Alfred Vogel) brought us closer to an comprehension of this field when one of his students, Vivian Wiley, conducted an experiment of her own. She picked two leaves from a saxifrage plant and took them into her house. Each day she projected love towards one of these and the intention that it would live, despite giving it no water and naturally leaving it on her bedside table; the other leaf she wholly ignored.
One month later Vogel went to her home to photograph the results. The leaf that was ignored was dry and decaying, as you would expect from any leaf that had been out of water for that distance of time, but the other was as fresh as the day it was picked, even though its circumstances were no better.
Wiley prolonged her experiment for an additional one month and the leaf she directed her love towards remained alive all this time while the other one crumbled away. The mysterious power straight through which we narrate with plants is love and intention. These are the essence of the universe.
"Man can and does narrate with plant life", said Vogel. "Plants... May be blind, deaf, and dumb in the human sense, but there is no doubt in my mind that they are highly sensitive... They radiate power military that are useful to man. One can feel those forces! They feed into one's own force field, which in turn feeds power back to the plant."
Vogel also found that plants have unique personalities. Those with a large electrical resistance (the most powerful) are often difficult to work with (even 'prima donna-ish'), whereas those with large leaves and high water article are more responsive to the mind-power of intention.
This is quite in keeping with the findings of plant shamans. Ayahuasca shaman Javier Aravelo tells us that ayahuasca - the vine of souls - is a "sensitive" plant and to use it the shaman must ensue a special diet where he denies himself definite foods and contact with others lest the plant should become "jealous" and work against him. A deep respect for the personality of the plant is principal to the visionary experience.
According to Vogel, this respect for the plant is principal for productive transportation and empathy in the middle of our species. He look of scientists conducting experiments with plants that "If they coming the experimentation in a mechanistic way and don't enter into mutual transportation with their plants and treat them as friends, they will fail.
"It is principal to have an open mind that eliminates all preconceptions before starting experiments... Hundreds of laboratory workers around the world are going to be ... Frustrated and disappointed... Until they appreciate that the empathy in the middle of plant and human is the key, and learn how to form it... The experimenters must become part of their experiments".
