+==== The Mystery of Plant and Human Auras ====
+ ---Inyushin had written up his research
+into the Kirlians' work in 1968 in a book-long scientific paper: //The
+Biologlcal Essence of the Kirlian Effect//. Though Kirlian himself had
+maintained that the strange energy in his pictures was caused by "changinng the nonelectrical properties of bodies into electrical properties which
+are transferred to film," Inyushin and his collaborators went several steps
+further. They declared that the **bioluminescence visible in Kirlian pictures** was caused not by the electrical state of the organism but by a
+**"biological plasma body"** which seemed to be only a new word for the
+"etheric" or "astral" body of the ancients. pg 203
+[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirlian_photography]] (Kirlian technique is used in the industry to scan vegetables if they are fresh or not.
+--- Viktor Adamenko and other Soviet scientists had been able to determine that the **"bioplasma"**
+not only undergoes a drastic shift when placed in a magnetic field but
+is concentrated at hundreds of points in the human body which seem
+to **correspond to the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture points.**pg 205
+---If there is a change in the
+universe and environment, say the parapsychologists, a resonance is
+produced in the vital energy of the human body which in turn affects
+the physical body. It is **through his bioplasmic body** that parapsycholo-
+gists believe **a man can be in direct contact with a living plant.** pg 206
+---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's
+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-
+nating, or vibrating at the same frequency,** with one particular aspect of
+the material; thus, not a whole picture, but different pieces of informa-
+tion are picked up." [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirlian_photography]] pg 208
+---Kirlian photos of faith healers reveal a smaller glow after healing, while

+==== Chemicals, Plants and Man ====
+---**Pfeiffer** had developed in his
+native Switzerland a "**sensitivity crystallization method"** to test finer
+dynamic forces and qualities in plants, animals, and humans than had
+thus far been detectable in laboratories. Dr. Steiner asked Pfeiffer to find a reagent which would reveal"etheric formative forces" in living matter. After months of tests with Glauber's salt, or sodium sulfate, and many other chemicals,
+Pfeiffer discovered that if a solution of copper chloride to which extracts
+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, looking like exotic undersea corals. A strong,
+vigorous plant produces a beautiful, harmonious, and clearly formed
+crystal arrangement radiating through to the outer edge. The same
+crystallization made from a weak or sick plant results in an uneven
+picture showing thickening or incrustation.pg 244

+==== 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.  pg 264
+---with **Pfeiffer's chromatograms** established scientific proof that certain plants

+---The New Alchemists say: "To Restore
+the Lands, Protect the Seas, and Inform the Earth's Stewards." This is
+what the planet's vegetal covering on terra firma has been doing since
+long before the advent of man to his stewardship. In that sense, **//plants

+---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**, though botanists have long asserted that only
+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
