The link below upon which I am drawing your attention is a film made in the seventies, The Secret Life of Plants, in eleven parts, on youtube. This is an old film, a detail which makes it more surprising that in spite of this information being widely available, it seems like we have not got the message yet as a society. The message is obviously taking its time to reach social awareness as it is too often the case regarding important collective awareness of our environment. This reminds us of an earlier event in social history. The discovery in early 16th century that Earth was a spherical celestial body rather than a flat plane was first met with only mockeries from the public as well as from the scientists. It took many years and much scepticism in order for this new paradigm to become part of a new understanding of our environment and our human consciousness.
After watching this video, you may want to ask yourself who wants to disrupt the delicate and beautiful amazing life of plants by weeding them, smashing them and eating them amongst other things. That would be a good question to start with because there are solutions to all problems. However, to find solutions requires from us, before using our free will, to start asking the right questions for answers leading to gaining awareness.
I would like to do a brief presentation of the video film for facilitating further exchange of views.
The film presents Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose who was born in Bengal, now Bengladesh on 30 November 1858. At the beginning of the following century, this physicist, botanist and biologist who had invented the crescograph started scientific experimentation on plants and demonstrated that “All the characteristic responses exhibited by animal tissue are also to be found in plants”. He further proved that “plants have a sensory system similar to humans”. He went to present his findings at The Royal Society in London but was too advanced for his time and it is fifty years later, in 1966 that his findings were acknowledged and his experimentations taken seriously and duplicated.
Some of the new findings include that the mere intent by a human being to burn a plant, causes a huge reaction in the plant, a reaction which could be seen on a polygraph. It was also demonstrated that plants react to any termination of life happening in their immediate environment, that plants carry an awareness that binds all things together, etc. The film goes on describing that those findings and many more should change the whole picture of how we interact with plants because we are affecting them all the time and they also affect us back.
Part five is about talking plants and singing plants. In an experiment, we actually hear the plants making sounds as a reaction to people’s presence and moods as well as changing their sounds according to different passer's by. In Japan there were experiments of talking cactus.
According to further research in Russia, plants may even have thoughts, can recognize assailants and it is postulated that in a short future, we may find ways to understand the way plants express their wishes since they should be able to controlling their intake of water and nutrients. We would only have to understand their language for reaching a state of harmony within our natural environment.
Part eight is about the Dogon, a people in Africa who live at the SW and on the edge of the Sahara desert. They have a ritual celebrating the movement of the star “Po tolo” orbiting the star Sirius in the constellation Canis Major. For the Dogons, the star Po tolo is the Eye of the world, a ‘germinated seed’ from which they received all knowledge. Recently science confirmed that Sirius has a companion star invisible to the naked eye and orbiting Sirius, the Digitaria star.
The video goes on presenting experimentation on bio-communication starting in 1962. It was concluded that there is consciousness in the plant realm. The work of an engineer, Lawrence, confirms that plants are receiving messages from outer space. Apparently he intercepted through instruments, messages to the plants from the constellation Ursa Major. His conclusions include that plants are actually witnesses of the chaos of the human condition before passing the message to stars and constellations.
For the very excellent documentary regarding the Secret Life of Plants, part 1.
In part 1, you may skip the first seven minutes if your time availability is limited

Welcome to the world of plants, also our world.
