+ | --- engineers, unlike | ||
+ | researchers in pure science, are less concerned with why or how something works than with whether it will work. This attitude can free them | ||

+ | part of the plant in the form of solar energy. It is also this magnetism that | ||
+ | draws the molecules of oxygen into the ever expanding chlorophyll cells | ||
+ | of the plant, and so we must assume that moisture is in no way integrated into the plant through | ||

+ | ---Because, of all living things, they seemed the most enduring and the | ||
+ | least moble, Burr charted the life fields of trees over nearly two decades. | ||
+ | He found that recordings related not only to the lunar cycle and to | ||
+ | sunspots, whIch flare up at intervals with many years between them, but | ||
+ | revealed cycles recurring every three and six months that were beyond | ||
+ | his explanabon. His conclusions seemed to make less suspect the long- | ||
+ | mocked practices of generations of gardeners who claimed that their | ||
+ | **crops** should be **planted according | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---To try to establish the cosmic origin of energy, Lakhovsky decided | ||
+ | to dispense with his device to produce artificial rays | ||
+ | and tap natural energy from space. In January, 1925, he picked | ||
+ | a series of geraniums previously inoculated with cancer and surrounded | ||
+ | it with a circular copper spiral thirty centimeters in diameter, its two | ||
+ | unjoined ends fixed in an ebonite support. After several weeks he found | ||
+ | that whereas all the control geraniums inoculated with cancer had died | ||
+ | and dried up, the plant ringed with the copper spiral | ||
+ | radiantly healthy but had grown twice as high as uninoculated controls. | ||
+ | These spectacular results led Lakhovsky into a complex theory as to how the geranium had been able to pick up from the vast field of waves | ||
+ | in the external atmosphere the **exact frequencies which enabled its cells | ||
+ | to oscillate normally and so powerfully that the cancer-afflicted cells | ||
+ | were destroyed.** pg 185 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---Other first and second colonies | ||
+ | both perished when only the first colony was murdered with chemical | ||
+ | poisons or lethal radiation | ||
+ | the second colony in each case? | ||
+ | Since **ordinary glass does not permit ultraviolet rays to pass but quartz | ||
+ | glass does**, it seemed to the Soviet scientists that here was a key to the | ||
+ | mystery. They recalled | ||
+ | could emit ultraviolet rays**, and they resurrected his ideas from the limbo | ||
+ | to which they had been consigned in the 1930s. They found that when life processes in the tissue cultures remained | ||
+ | //normal//, the ultraviolet glow, invisible to the human eye but detectable | ||
+ | as oscillations on the tape, remained stable. As soon as the affected | ||
+ | colony began to battle against its infection, the radiation intensified. | ||
+ | Reports on this work in Moscow newspapers disclosed that, however | ||
+ | fantastic it might seem, the **ultraviolet radiation | ||
+ | //carried information// | ||
+ | somehow received by the second colony**. | ||
+ | Since the second colony seemed in each case to die in exactly the same | ||
+ | way as the first, the Soviets realized that it was as dangerous for healthy | ||
+ | cells to be exposed to the transmitted signal of dying cells as it was for | ||
+ | them to be exposed to viruses, poisons, and lethal radiation. It appeared | ||
+ | that the second colony upon receiving the alarm signal from the dying | ||
+ | first colony began to mobilize for resistance and its very " | ||
+ | it had indeed been attacked. pg 189-199 | ||

+ | ---The mystery of the link between human emotional or psycic states | ||
+ | and emanations radiating from the fingertips is deepened by Moss,s | ||
+ | finding that pictures done with Kirlian techniques of both her own and Kendall Johnson' | ||
+ | fingers differ from day to day and hour to hour. | ||
+ | Since the photos of leaves change with variations in parameters, Moss | ||
+ | conjectures that "**at whatever frequency we take a picture, we are reso- | ||

+ | ---**Pfeiffer** had developed in his | ||
+ | native Switzerland a " | ||
+ | dynamic forces and qualities in plants, animals, and humans | ||
+ | thus far been detectable in laboratories. Dr. Steiner asked Pfeiffer to find a reagent which would reveal" | ||
+ | Pfeiffer discovered | ||
+ | of living matter had been added was allowed to evaporate slowly over, | ||
+ | fourteen to seventeen hours it would produce a **crystallization pattern | ||
+ | determined not only by the nature but by the quality of the plant** from | ||
+ | which the extract was taken. Pfeiffer developed an even simpler and less time | ||
+ | consuming method to demonstrate how life veritably pulsates from | ||
+ | living soils, plants, and foods, but not from inorganic minerals, chemicals, and synthetic vitamins, which are dead. Requiring none of the | ||
+ | complex equipment of the standard chemical laboratory, it uses circular | ||
+ | filter-paper discs fifteen centimeters in diameter, provided with a small | ||
+ | hole in the center for insertion of a wick. The discs are laid in open petri | ||
+ | dishes in which stand small crucibles containing a 0,05 silver-nitrate | ||
+ | solution. This solution climbs up through the wick and spreads over the | ||
+ | discs until it has expanded about four centimeters from the center. | ||
+ | From the brilliant-colored concentric patterns Pfeiffer has been able to disclose new secrets of life. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pfeiffer laboratory has series of beautiful crystallizations, | ||
+ | vigorous plant produces a beautiful, harmonious, and clearly formed | ||
+ | crystal arrangement radiating through to the outer edge. The same | ||

+ | ==== Live Plants or dead Planets ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---Pfeiffer came to realize that it is only our human egotistical point of | ||
+ | view that labels a weed a weed, and that if they were viewed as a | ||
+ | functioning part of nature, weeds would have much to teach. Pfeiffer | ||
+ | proved that a whole group of weeds, including sorrels, docks, and | ||
+ | horsetails, are sure indicators that the soil is becoming too acidic. Dande- | ||
+ | lions, which lawn owners so feverishly dig up; actually heal the soil by | ||
+ | transporting minerals, especially calcium, upward from deep layers, even | ||
+ | from underneath hardpan. The dandelion is thus warning the lawn | ||
+ | owner that something is wrong with the life of his soil. Pfeiffer came to the conclusion that, | ||
+ | when soil lacks lime, silicon-loving plants such as daisies move onto it. | ||
+ | When they die, they bring to the soil the missing calcium. | ||

+ | the Lands, Protect the Seas, and Inform the Earth' | ||
+ | what the planet' | ||
+ | long before the advent of man to his stewardship. In that sense, **//plants | ||

+ | can grow on copper wires** without any | ||
+ | contact with the soil. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---Kervran (1901-1983) medical scientist and engineer: | ||
+ | powerful energies are at work in the germination process of seeds which | ||
+ | synthesize enzymes, probably by transmuting matter within them. His | ||
+ | experiments have also convinced him that **lunar forces are extremely | ||
+ | important in germination**, | ||
+ | warmth and water are required. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---Though not applied as abusively as in America, even the more limited | ||
+ | European use of artificial fertilizers has led, says Kervran, to a mounting | ||
+ | lack of resistance in plants to pests. The increase of infestation is no | ||
+ | more than a consequence of **biological imbalance.** pg 286 | ||

+ | |||
+ | ---Simoneton found that the **normal healthy person gives off a wavelengt | ||
+ | radiance of about 6,500**. Bovis and Simoneton' | ||
+ | vegetables, nuts, and fresh fish that give off radiations higher than their | ||
+ | own normal 6,500, if they wish to energize themselves and feel healthy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---Myrna I. Lewis, taken by | ||
+ | the Soviets on a visit to several sanitariums in the Black Sea city of Sochi | ||
+ | to find aging Soviet citizens, afRicted with a variety of ills, both physical | ||
+ | and mental, **being treated not with drugs but with vibrations from | ||
+ | flowers in greenhouses** where they were led to smell specific blooms so | ||
+ | many minutes a day. They were also being treated with music played | ||
+ | in their rooms and the sound of the sea recorded on tapes. pg 308 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---During his months in Wales, Bach felt his senses quickening, becom- | ||
+ | Ing more developed. Through a finely developed sense of touch he was | ||
+ | able to feel the vibrations and power emitted by any plant he wished | ||
+ | to test. Like Paracelsus, if he held a petal or bloom in the palm of his | ||
+ | hand or placed it on his tongue he could feel in his body the effects of | ||
+ | the properties within that plant. Some had a strengthening, | ||
+ | effect on his mind and body; others would give him pain, vomiting, | ||
+ | fevers, rashes, and the like. His instinct told him that the best plants would be found blooming in the middl,e of the year, when the days are | ||
+ | longest and the sun at the height of its power and strength. pg 309-310 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---Though many of the flowers did not contain the healing properties | ||
+ | he sought, Bach found the dew from each plant held a definite power | ||
+ | of some kind, and deduced that the sun's radiation was essential to the | ||
+ | process of extraction. As collecting sufficient dew from individual flowers | ||
+ | could be laborious he decided to pick a few blooms from a chosen plant | ||
+ | and place them in a glass bowl filled with water from a clear stream, | ||
+ | leaving them standing in the field in the sunlight for several hours. To | ||
+ | his delight he found that the water became impregnated with the | ||
+ | vibrations and power of the plant and was very potent. To potentlize his | ||
+ | water Bach would choose a summer day with no clouds to obscure the | ||
+ | sun's light and heat. Taking three small plain glass bowls filled with fresh | ||
+ | water, he set them in a field where the flowering plants were growing, | ||
+ | then selected the most perfect blossoms and placed them on the surface | ||
+ | of the water.** To lift the blooms from the water without touching the | ||
+ | fuid with his fingers he used two blades of grass.** The water was then | ||
+ | transferred by means of a small lipped phial to bottles. When half-full | ||
+ | the rest of the bottle was filled with brandy designed to preserve the | ||
+ | mixture. Before the next experiment Bach would destroy both bowls and | ||
+ | phials. pg 310-311 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---blindfolded ruddy-cheeked Scotsman, Alick McInnes, can** put his hand over a ripe | ||
+ | bloom and tell from the wavelength of its radiation** just what plant it | ||
+ | is and what its medical properties may be. In India, where he spent | ||
+ | thirty years working for the British Raj, Mcinnes got his first introduc- | ||
+ | tion to the fact that plants not only give off radiations which are sensible | ||
+ | to humans, but are themselves sensitive to the radiations given off by | ||
+ | humans; this he discovered when he visited the Bose Institute near | ||
+ | Calcutta. pg 312 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---By the entrance to the Institute stands a luxuriant Mimosa pudica. | ||
+ | Visitors are requested to pick a small frond from this compliant horticul- | ||
+ | tural guinea pig and place it in one of Bose's complicated machines, | ||
+ | which provides a schematic pattern of the vibrations of the plant on a | ||
+ | sheet of paper. A visitor is then asked to place his wrist inside the | ||
+ | machine and watch as a duplicate of the pattern is produced, demon- | ||
+ | strating that mimosa is so sensitive it can pick up and faultlessly reflect | ||
+ | individual human radiations. [[http:// | ||
