 +==== 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  
 +those healed have greater emanations, indicating some sort of energy  
 +flow from the hands of the healer into the body of the patient, giving  
 +substance to **Galvani's and Mesmer's theory of "animal magnetism."** 
 + 
 +-------------------- 
 +==== 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  
 +beans and cucumbers, for instance  
 +grow better if planted in coniunction with each other,  and other plants, such  pg 263as beans and fennel, seem  
 +to fare badly together. //related to companionplanting://[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companion_planting]] 
 + 
 +---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  
 +are the oldest alchemists.//**  
 + 
 +--------- 
 + 
 +==== Alchemists in the Garden ==== 
 + 
 +---Baranger: there's no way out; we have  
 +to submIit to the evidence: //"plants know the old secret of the alchemists.  
 +Everyday under our very gaze they are transmuting elements."//**Bold Text** pg 279 
 + 
 + 
 +---Tillandsia, or** Spanish moss  
 +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**, 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 
 + 
 +---------------- 
 + 
 +==== Dowsing Plants for Health ==== 
 + 
 +---Simoneton found that the **normal healthy person gives off a wavelengt  
 +radiance of about 6,500**. Bovis and Simoneton's thesis: human beings should eat fruit,  
 +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, becoming 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, vitalizing  
 +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

 +is and what its medical properties may be. In India, where he spent  
 +thirty years working for the British Raj, Mcinnes got his first introduction 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 horticultural 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, demonstrating that mimosa is so sensitive it can pick up and faultlessly reflect  
 +individual human radiations. pg 312 [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagadish_Chandra_Bose]] 
 + 
 +---Mcinnes: Each flower species has a time when its  
 +radiations can best be transferred to water, usually, though not always,  
 +when the Howers are at the peak of their maturity, which is also usually  
 +near a full moon.  
 +Potencies, as Mcinnes calls the **radiations which are transferred to  
 +water** can be taken from the rose around midsummer, or June 21, and 
 +from the dandelion around the Easter full moon. When conditions are  
 +right, transfer of the radiations is instantaneous, the water can actually be  
 +seen to change, "an awe~inspiring experience never to be forgotten,"

 +==== Radionic Pesticides ==== 
 + 
 +--- T. Galen Hieronymus suspected that the unknown energy emitted from metals  
 +might be somehow linked to sunlight; since it could be transmitted over  
 +wires, it might have an effect on the growth of plants. 
 +To find out, Hieronymus placed **some aluminum-lined boxes in the  
 +pitch-dark cellar of his Kansas City house**. Some boxes he grounded to  
 +a water pipe and connected by separate copper wires to metal plates on  
 +the outside of the house exposed to full sunlight. Other boxes were left  
 +unconnected. In all of them Hieronymus planted seed grain. In the  
 +connected boxes the seeds grew into sturdy green plants. The seeds in the unconnected boxes had no trace of green and were anemic and  
 +drooping.  
 +This brought Hieronymus to the revolutionary conclusion that what-  
 +ever caused the development of chlorophyll in plants could not be  
 +sunlight itself but something associated with it, which, unlike light, was  
 +transmittable over wires. He had no idea at what frequency this energy  
 +might be located on the electromagnetic spectrum, or even if it was  
 +related to it.
