Are there thoughts in those thin, green leaves? (Shutterstock*) |
The
universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In “Beyond
Science” Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to
stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are
they true? You decide.
Marcel
Vogel was a senior scientist at IBM for 27 years, during which time he patented
over 100 inventions. Part way through his career, he became interested in a
more organic application of his scientific knowledge. At the end of this
investigation was the startling discoveries that plants could not only read
people’s minds, but they could do it over great distances, and the amount of
attention the person paid to the plant influenced the plant’s ability to
perceive the person’s thoughts.
He read of
the experiments by Cleve Backster, whose research got people talking to their
houseplants in the 1970s.
Backster
was a former CIA lie-detector specialist who developed polygraph techniques
still in general use today by the U.S. military and government agencies.
Backster discovered by using lie-detectors that plants respond to human actions
and thoughts with appropriate signals of happiness or fear. His experiments are
described in greater detail in the first part of this two-part article.
When Vogel
read of Backster’s work, he thought the experiment must be flawed, it couldn’t
be true. He tested it. His former research associate Dan Willis explainedVogel’s experiments on his website MarcelVogel.org.
Vogel
formed a link between plants and a Wheatstone Bridge, which is a circuit that
can test electrical currents. When Vogel cleared his mind and breathed slowly,
the plants showed no reaction. When he pulsed his breath through his nostrils
and held a thought in his mind, the plants responded dramatically.
Furthermore,
said Willis: “The responsiveness of the plants to thought was also the same
whether 8 inches away, 8 feet, or 8,000 miles, as he proved from Prague,
Czechoslovakia, to his laboratory in San Jose where he was able to affect the
plant hooked up to the recorder.”
When two
plants were experimented on at once to see what reaction one would have to the
other being injured (cut, burned, or torn), Vogel noticed that the plant’s reaction
would vary according to how much attention he was paying to that plant. He
realized the scientist’s thoughts can affect such experimentation.
Willis
wrote: “This is one reason why certain scientific investigations in the area of
subtle energies cannot be readily replicated. It is not always a matter of
scientific protocol, but a matter of relationship.
“Unfortunately,
many scientists would consider this to be some kind of inessential and perhaps
bothersome epiphenomena. Although such individuals are scientists, to Marcel,
they were technicians attempting to prove what they already thought was true.”

Plants.” This book was written by
Christopher Bird and Peter Tompkins and popularized Backster’s research.

“… Universal
communication: When you walk into the forest and the trees talk to you, what is
that about? Gaia speaks to you! What does that voice sound like? Am I getting
through to you? Do you understand what I'm saying?
You are
able to hear these things in your own way, but none of them are synaptic. Are
the trees in trouble? Are they crying? Perhaps they are celebrating? All of
this information is available to those who can hear it.
"Kryon,
is it true that in the forest there are what you would call devas?" Here's
my answer: Are you kidding? Of course! Yes! You are asking what they are. They
are multidimensional aspects of Gaia. I love how Humans deal with
multidimensional energies. They "3D-ize" them. When Human Beings
cannot understand a multidimensional energy, they make them entities, dress
them [put outfits on them in their minds], give them names, and put them in
Human movies. They're beautiful! You know they are, and they're everywhere. Go
into the forest and they'll talk to you. Sit down in the grass and let them
communicate with you. They're part of the energy soup that is Gaia, which is
Mother Nature, the personality that is the love of God in nature.
Dear one,
you're not going to receive bad things from a deva. You're not going to get bad
information from hugging a tree. You know that, don't you? What does this tell
you about how Gaia feels about you? These are just a few things when it comes
to the subject of communication from others to you. …”
