To many people growing plants is a simple task of planting and waiting for results. For most people this is the simple task of having a plant. And as most people know, growing a plant involves extensive care. Here is a photo of my Tomato plants. They are about 6 weeks old and are now developing fruit.
Here are some facts that will blow your mind away:
1. Fertilizer was never used in this plants coarse of life
2. Its not a GM
3. These plants are as they appear, perfectly healthy.
4. This image is real
5. These tomato plants are above the normal growth!
6. A total of 300 tomatoes are expected from the middle plant (we have counted all of them)
7. They do not get a existential amounts of sun or water
8. There are no chemicals involved!
9. These plants are at a height of 4 feet and 9 inches tall!
The secret is apart of a wide range of feelings and appreciation most people lack towards their plants! I have found some interesting scientific results that show plants respond to human emotions and thoughts. Even yet, the more you feel towards a plant, the more time you spend with a plant, the better and healthier it will grow. All of this depends whether you feel the plant is beautiful, that it will be healthy. And as strange as it seems, it actually works!
The more I look into the subject, the better the results. For instance, plants even respond to the amount of sound in its environment. All depending on the music, the plant will grow better.
The story starts with Cleve Backster of the Cleve Backster School of Lie Detection. It was in 1966 that the curious Backster decided to hook up a polygraph machine to one of his philodendron plants to measure the time it took for water to reach the large leaves. Backster noticed that the plant was measuring what would be excitement in a human subject. He then tried different things with the leaf that had the polygraph electrode attached - even sticking the leaf in a cup of hot coffee. The plant showed no other reactions and even seemed to be getting bored after 15 minutes of testing.
Backster decided that he should do something far more threatening - he was going to burn the leaf to see what reaction he could get from the plant's polygraph reading. He didn't have any matches so he left the room to find some. When he came back, he noticed the plant's readings jumping all over. It was evident that just the thought of burning the leaf was enough to throw the plant into a state of fear. The plant would sense the intended assault whether it was in the next room or even miles away. The process was performed numerous times by different people and the same results were happening, although, after time the philodendron began to slow its reaction to the threat of it being burned.
By now, the tests were becoming rather severe. Backster took 6 of his students and had them draw straws. The loser of the draw then had to sneak into a room with 2 plants and kill one of them. He yanked it by the roots and then ripped the leaves off one by one. Later, the other 5 students entered the room and the surviving witness (the other plant) remained calm, but when the plant killer entered the room, the philodendron responded on the polygraph to exactly who the killer was and registered its fear on the polygraph.
Cleve Backster then used some tiny shrimp used as goldfish food and dumped them into boiling water. Each time the shrimp hit the water, their deaths were registered on the plant's polygraph. Backster then moved the shrimp to another room and used different barriers - even metal - to separate the plant from the shrimp. The same results were still recorded. He then set the shrimp to fall by using a timer to make sure there was no "contamination" by his own reaction. Separated by different barriers in separate rooms with no human interaction, the results were amazingly still the same.
The idea of emotion from plants is not new, but is now known as the Backster Effect. Since it involves use of unknown communication it's not surprising that scientists don't take the idea as anything more than an occult theory. Even though Cleve Backster had nothing to do with the occult, he is now famous among occultists for his plant research. When viewed using Kirlian photography, plants show the same aureic field as humans and every other living organism - that much is now accepted by scientists because of the physical proof - but with what we know of the human aura and how it holds a large key to the art of communication (telepathy), we can easily imagine plants being able to use the same "bioenergetic fields" to communicate in a way that a brainless organism might communicate. There have been other researchers into this field but they do not include professional scientists - who say that the tests can't be replicated in controlled conditions.
Even stranger, these tests I have repeated do in fact work. There is a large and significant amount of proof out in the world. Together as human beings, we can conclude the larger fact, that plants do react to their environment more so than we ever thought. Plants do respond to thought, emotion, and other living organisms. Almost as if they're sessile animals with a more complex organ system. They understand feel, and respond.
