Did you know plants can learn from experience?

Diana, that is an interesting way to look at things.

Have you ever read the book Hands of Light? In it the author details seeing the aura of a leaf, and in demonstrating how the energetic body of a leaf forms the blueprint for the physical portion to grow along, she cut the leaf.

In cutting the leaf, she saw the aura turn a bloody red and 'viewed' it as pain.

I think a plant life form is less interdependent on every portion.  You could argue every leaf is its own 2D entity, belonging to a more mature 2D entity, the tree and its trunk, branches, and roots.  Also that we can cut off a branch, to say a lemon tree, and attach it to another different tree, and that tree will still take the branch which will still grow fruit upon it, might show how closely related trees are to one another, but moreso, how 'alive' every individual part of a tree is.  A cut off limb can still grow.

So whenever I prune a rose bush or trim my palm tree.  I apologize with each cut, because a part of me believes I am hurting this loving entity that just is trying to be.

My neighbor's kids have given me funny looks for doing this lol

As for fruit, I think its different per.  I think berries garnish more joy than pain in being consumed, like popping a pimple (as a gross example lol) it hurts at first but its better feeling afterwards, perhaps the act of chewing is fun to crushed pulp.

Then there's fruits like watermelon, who I think are badly hurt when sliced open, but enjoy having the red fleshy inner parts eaten.  Or a banana or orange, who probably don't like getting peeled, or being chewed, but might enjoy as the chewed mush being digested.

I usually apologize to my fruit.  I want it to have an idea that I am grateful, and not just doing what I do to hurt it.

This is especially important to me when I eat meat.

I think sungazing is a misinformation technique posited and pushed to people to see how susceptible they are to altering their perceptions to fit spiritual information into their consensus view of reality.  Looking directly at the sun for more than a couple seconds will damage the optic nerve, frying it where direct sunlight is focused through the lens of the eye like a magnifying glass being used to burn ants, only the ants are your optic nerves.

Instead, gaze at NASA's closeup view of the sun.  Its easier, healthier, and more entertaining.
