“Even atoms possess a certain measure of intelligence.” ~ Thomas Edison

“To begin to understand the gorgeous fever that is consciousness, we must try to understand the senses and what they can tell us about the ravishing world we have the privilege to inhabit.” ~ Diane Ackerman

Michal Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and The Botany of Desire, has pointed out that for the longest time, even mentioning that plants could be intelligent was a quick way to being labeled a ‘whacko,’ but it turns out plants can learn, communicate, and even feel. They can also see, smell, and remember. This is definitely not news the biotechnology industry wants highlighted.

Do Plants Have ‘Brains’?

In an emerging field called plant neurobiology, a bit of a misnomer since plants don’t have neurons or brains, we learn that people who play music for their plants or understand that our actions can affect a plant’s nutrition, for example, are not ‘whackos’ at all.

God said:

Everything you are averse is related to a mistake in perception you are making. The mistake may not be all yours. Perhaps everyone who is involved in an unwanted encounter shares the brunt of lack of understanding.

It is an error when hostility runs through your veins.

Anything less than love is much ado about nothing. What anything less than love amounts to is folly, fantasy, heartbreak, a rash of irritation. It is a form of hunger. There is something you are starving for.

We could call this a form of ego starvation. Credit due is not given to you. It is not given because you are not seen. Most everyone is preprogrammed and has his eye elsewhere. The die is set.

The person before you thinks he is seeing you. He isn't seeing you. He has someone else in mind. You just happen to be here, and you fit the bill. You are paying someone else's dues.

It has also been your prerogative to see someone else in front of you who reminds you of someone, consciously or subconsciously -- the wicked stepmother perhaps. Pretty much you program your life with these reruns, and so you repeat yourself.

It’s amazing how people have been backed into a corner by this barrage of social programming and outright intimidation. People actually feel apologetic about speaking the truth when it counters the politically correct entrained mass mindset of the world today.

Telling someone the truth is the most loving thing anyone can do. Of course it needs to be done wisely so as not to give a ready excuse for holding on to their illusion. That’s a clever mechanism that needs to be avoided. But there is also a time the truth hurts but still needs to be said. If it hurts, so be it. To withhold the truth from someone who is clearly in need of it is the most unloving and self serving thing any of us can do.

Let the chips fall where they may. Telling the truth is a fundamental form of love.

Taking Authority is Contrarian in a Spineless, Programmed World

I often think about this, the need for all of us who have awakened to take authority in our awareness and live in it fully and boldly. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve been conditioned with. The collective mind is built on dependence and allegiance to imposed authority. This is nothing less than fear and submission programming.

Surrendering to the ‘flow’ of The Universe may feel like a very unnatural thing to do. However, once the release is accomplished, you will find that things will come much more easily than they ever have in the past. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, you could make your lives so much smoother and easier if you would simply move with whatever energy is being supported at any given time. You accomplish this by being fully present and aware, and surrendering into the flow of your day. If the actions you are trying to take are not coming together with ease, you can simply readjust and understand that rest and quieter activities are what are required now. If everything is accelerated and moving well, it is a time of action and harness that momentum!

If a person is being resistant to you, it may be time to love them unconditionally from afar. If they are open and loving, it is time to enjoy their company in the physical. This innate understanding of how to connect will become more and more important as people start to move into divine partnerships. Do you see? The old model might suggest you give or withdraw love based on result. The new way makes love a constant, and allows you to love wholeheartedly in whatever way is being supported.

There is always, always, a greater purpose to the energies you are being presented with at any given time. The path of grace and ease comes from moving mindfully and intuitively with the energies. It is time to release the old ways of efforting, resisting, and pushing against the flow, once and for all, for what is presenting is always exactly what you need to sustain and support you for your highest results. ~Archangel Gabriel

If the biotech industry has its way, 184 million acres of native forests around the world will be bulldozed down and replaced with plantations of genetically engineered (GE) trees.

On these proposed GE tree plantations, there are essentially no other plants, insects, birds, or wildlife — just rows upon rows of cloned Frankentrees growing at accelerated rates on a crust of dead, lifeless soil above dwindling groundwater reserves.

Moreover, GE trees are being genetically engineered with unnatural characteristics, such as the ability to kill insects, tolerate colder temperatures, resist toxic chemicals, and grow faster — but these “advantages” come at an unacceptable price.
