Talking Plants, Primary Perception

Picture
_Furthermore, the deeper science investigates into the question of what exactly has the phenomenon of ‘life’, plants have emerged to exhibit the behaviors and characteristics that fit the criteria for the title of being ‘alive’. As the research of Dr. Cleave Backster and his work with ‘Primary Perception’, and countless former Soviet Union Scientists have so clearly and definitively proven.

Backster began his career as an Interrogation Specialist with the C.I.A., and went on to become Chairman of the Research and Instrument Committee of the Academy for Scientific Interrogation. He is currently director of the Backster School of Lie Detection in San Diego, California.

Amazingly and to initial scientific shock and astonishment, Backster had discovered that plants and trees have the inherent ability to 'sense' and 'react' to the thoughts and moods of humans. All this being verifiable by scientifically testable methods. These plants displayed signs of 'stress' when either themselves, separate plants, or animals were harmed.

This had all been initially discovered February 2, 1966, via a polygraph readout coming from two negative and positive electrodes that had been applied on both sides of a leaf via a small vice (clamp). When the polygraph machine was then turned on, the plant gave a surprising read out that appeared to in no way differ from the readout the polygraph machine would display when the electrodes were attached to a human subject. Then, when researchers were trying to think of what would be a stressful 'threat' to the lively hood of a plant they were amazed at what the plant did in response to this line of thinking. Cleave Backster went on to state that at precisely the exact moment he had envisioned the image of fire, and using that fire to burn the plant, the polygraph readout began to swing fast and far. This was amazing, for if this machine had been hooked up to a human subject those readout patterns would have been signs of 'deception' or 'lying”, as a measurable ‘nervousness’ or ‘stress’ was being expressed by the subject. Clearly in a plant this is not a sign of deception, but it is a sign of 'nervousness' and 'stress', which should be pointed out are words to describe reactions emanating from a conscious entity. The experiment also seems to suggest some unseen 'linking' and underlying connection between the human mind and plants, and ultimately demonstrates that plants posses the inherent ability to connect and extract information from that inter-networking.

Further investigation went on to show conclusively that plants remembered individuals who had 'harmed' them, or even if the individual had harmed separate plants or animals. In the first step of the experiment demonstrating this, an individual would 'harm' the subject plant by tearing leaves off the plant and then leave and allow the plant to fully 'calm' down and return to a 'relaxed' state. At a later random time the assailant would then again return to the subject plant, but this time he would not harm the plant. However, just the returning presence of the assailant would cause the subject plant and the other independently setup plants in the room to all collectively display signs of 'stress'. This all occurring at the precise moment of the returning individuals presence. Plants that were never directly harmed by the individual still reacted with the same fear as the plant that had initially been harmed. The fact that the individual 'subject' plant remembered is almost as astonishing as the fact that the other 'unharmed' plants also remembered and feared the returning assailant.

In another experiment, in a separate room from the plants, small brine shrimp were dropped randomly by a computer to their death into boiling water. In a separate part of the building, the plants attached to a polygraph machine would register a disturbance at again the precise moment the experiment had occurred and taken place. This was thoroughly replicated many times and proven to be a real phenomenon. The indications are truly amazing.

“A few brine shrimp die and a plant feels their death, I think it’s the smallness of the event that makes it so significant. It means that even on the lower levels of life there is a profound consciousness or awareness that binds all things together.

-Cleave Backster-

"A plant may not talk, but there is a spirit in it that is conscious, that sees everything, which is the soul of the plant, its essence, what makes it alive."

-Pablo Amaringo-

Clearly there is much more to plants then meets the limited eye. Nature and all the animals, trees, and plants within it are alive in ways that modern science is only beginning to understand. Yet many of the world’s ancient masters of many creeds frequently spoke of and emphasized the interconnected oneness of all life. That everything is connected to an underlying common mind or source. The one source. "The ALL."

“If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change. “

-The Buddha-

The phenomenon of life does not stop there though. Later in 1966 Cleave Backster took a further step and applied his same polygraph testing method to milk and yogurt. Like the plant setup, he had again used two electrodes and inserted them into the yogurt and milk. Both milk and yogurt contain and consist of basic forms of cellular and bacterial growths. In connecting the electrodes to the milk, it was again documented and discovered that even micro bacteria have been scientifically validated to exhibit all the criteria and ‘reactions and read outs’ that are indicators of ‘life’ and ‘intelligence’ amongst man and the animal kingdom. One needs only the right 'instruments' to peer into this amazing, unseen, and ever-present intelligence that is behind all plants and basic bacterial growth.
