Plants Have Souls-and Gifts for Humans
Plants are intelligent forms of life who are capable of intention, preference, and a will to survive, thrive and interact. Scientific research indicates that plants communicate
with insects, animals, human beings and other plants in order to keep themselves alive and safe. Evidence also reveals that plants are telling us how to achieve health and wholeness for humanity and the earth herself.
Plants Are Just Like People
In research which spans more than 100 years, scientists have been documenting botanical adaptability and the amazing similarities that plants have with animals and people. Studies indicate that what metaphysicians, psychics, shaman, tribal people and sensitives worldwide have been saying about the plant kingdom for millennia is true: plants are intelligent beings who can communicate with us, and, we can communicate with them.
Smart Strategies for Survival
In the book, “The Secret Life of Plants,” authors Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird describe how plants “talk to” people and what plants “talk” about. Staying alive and safe tops the list.
To protect themselves, plants have developed highly adaptive and strategic ways for living. According to the authors, “Plants seem to know which ants will steal their nectar, closing when these ants are about, opening only when there is enough dew on their stems to keep the ants from climbing. The more sophisticated acacia plant actually enlists the protective services of certain ants which it rewards with nectar in return for the ants’ protection against other insects and herbivorous mammals,” thus serving the same function as friends and allies do in the animal and human realms. Some vegetation develop a bitter taste, some ooze gummy secretions, while others grow thorns to defend themselves.
Prickles for the Pussy
Once plants feel safe, however, they may drop their need for defense. In one study, a scientist wanted to determine if cacti grow needles primarily for the purpose of keeping themselves from harm. Safely housed in a greenhouse, the scientist talked to numerous cacti assuring them that they were protected and that he cared about them. He encouraged the plants to feel even more secure by playing soothing music in the greenhouse. Within
several months the cacti dropped all their spikes. The offspring of these bare cacti were born without needles. Defenseless within this nurturing environment, the mature and new-born cacti prospered. After a period of a year of being without their protective quills, the cacti suddenly began re-growing their bristles and new baby sprouts were born with needles again. After some investigation, it was discovered that a house cat had found its way into the greenhouse. Suspecting that the cat may be the source of the perceived threat to the cacti causing the reemergence of their means of protection, the scientist blocked the cat’s way of entry. Once the cacti sensed they were once again safe, all of the cacti dropped their prickly means of defense.
You Can Hurt a Plant’s Feelings
Plants respond not only to insects and animals but to human emotion and intention. Plants can distinguish between people who are feel kindly towards them and people who don’t, and our green friends cooperate with people they like. In one experiment a new scientist came to study some test plants. Surprisingly, these test plants which previously had been very responsive, were completely non-responsive during the new scientist’s tests. Investigating the change in the plants’ response, it was discovered that the new scientist incinerated his plants in his own personal research once his tests were completed. Shortly
after the new scientist left, the plants again began registering activity and cooperating.
In another study, scientists found that vegetation reacted negatively to people who found the plants unattractive, even to the extent that the plants would “faint.” When over stimulated by emotions, plants will “go unconscious” or numb and can stay ” moody” for weeks. Scientific studies show that once plants attune themselves to a particular person, they are able to maintain a link with that person, no matter how far away. These
plants register “knowing” not only when a person is returning to the plants, but when the person makes the decision to return. Other reports show that plants respond to people talking to them in a caring, loving manner, such as asking a tree to radically change its growth direction so that it won’t have to be cut, or asking weeds not to grow excessively in a vegetable garden.
Who Says Plants Can’t Move?
In order to stay alive, plants have learned to move and do so in remarkable fashion, for extraordinary purposes and with high, extra-sensory intelligence. “Plants,” says Viennese biologist, Raoul France “move their bodies as freely, easily and gracefully as the most skilled animal or human, and the only reason we don’ t appreciate the fact is that plants do so at a much slower pace than humans. A climbing plant. which needs a prop, will creep toward the nearest support. Should this support be shifted, the vine, within a few hours, will change its course into a new direction.” Plants will even grow towards a support that’s hidden from view. France continues, “Plants are capable of intent: they can stretch toward, or seek out, what they want in ways as mysterious as the most fantastic creations of romance.”
As Thomkins and Bird relate, “Some parasitical plants can recognize the slightest trace of the odor of their victim and will overcome all obstacles to crawl in its direction.”
The Sophisticated Musical Tastes of Plants
Through their animated responses to classical and heavy rock music, plants further divulge their preferences. In studies of plants exposed to heavy rock music, the plants not only grew away from the music source, but some grew either abnormally tall and put out excessively small leaves or remained stunted. In some cases the plants died. When classical music was played to the plants, the plants grew toward the music source with healthy growth. The same plants, marigolds, who died when listening to rock music, flowered when listening to classical music. The authors report, “the rock-stimulated plants were using much more water than the classically entertained vegetation, but
apparently enjoying it less, since examination of the roots revealed that soil root growth was sparse in the rock group, whereas in the classical group, root growth was thick, tangled and about four times as long.”
In India, Dr. T. C. Singh, in his studies of music and plants, stated that he had “proven beyond any shadow of doubt that harmonic sound waves affect the growth, flowering, fruiting and seed-yield of plants.” Singh also reported that girls dancing India’s most ancient dance style accelerated the growth of daisies, marigolds and petunias. The dancing caused them to flower much earlier than the control group of plants, presumably because of the rhythm of the footwork transmitted through the earth.
Plant Devas Caught on Camera!
Kirlian photography is now able to verify the existence of living, changing light radiating from plants. And many “seers” and scientists have seen light emanations and moving forms coming from plants. Hindu sages refer to devas. Clairvoyants and other sensitives are able to directly see and communicate with the fairies, elves, gnomes, sylphs and other creatures which live in and among plants.
Tompkins and Bird conclude, “Evidence now supports the vision that plants are living, breathing, communicating creatures, endowed with personality and the attributes of soul.”

Which size fork?
I have a 52cm Cannondale and wanted to replace the fork. Is there different fork sizes? If so which size would I need? Also is a fork that’s threaded only for quill stems and threadless forks are for threadless stems? thanks
Road bike I assume…
Threaded = quill or with adaptor threadless
Threadless = threadless only
My ‘Dale is a 52cm too, 2002 with a 1 1/8 threadless steerer tube. I bought a new Carbon Fork for it.
Here’s what you need to know…
threadless:
1. steerer tube length from crown to end… must be long enough to fit through frame with bearings installed, stem stack height and any spacers you want to raise the stem to your desired height. Too short – you lose, too long cut it to fit.
2. Steerer dia. 1″, 1 1/8″ or 1 1/4″. Most bikes now are 1 1/8, but many older bikes are 1″.
3. Integrated crown designed to match up to the bike’s head tube for looks generally. A non-integrated fork will fit on a integrated head Tube Bike (just will look crappy) The other way around it may bind.
4. Rake – how much forward the forks slope to put it simply. Most are 43 degrees I believe.
5. Wheel size – 26″, 27″, 700c, 650c. Forks are made to fit certain sizes.
My R2000 now has a Easton EC90 SLX integrated 1 1/8″ 43c rake fork. My old Trek 2100 has a 1″ threaded fork. I bought a threadless adaptor from Nashbar for $10 and used a Threadless Stem on it. I like theadless over quill because they look better, easier to change out and mose flexable – turn it upside down for higher bars etc.
