+ | 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 | ||

+ | 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' | ||
+ | fingers differ from day to day and hour to hour. | ||
+ | Since the photos of leaves change with variations in parameters, Moss | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ---**Pfeiffer** had developed in his | ||
+ | native Switzerland a " | ||
+ | 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" | ||
+ | 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, | ||
+ | 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. | ||

+ | ---The New Alchemists say: "To Restore | ||
+ | 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 | ||
+ | are the oldest alchemists.// | ||

+ | ---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 | ||
