Part Two
In the previous issue I described the perception of the interrelationship of our Earth kingdoms as a huge, multi-dimensional web. The joyful connections, the twisted ones, the sad ones, all are part of the great consciousness we call Terra, or Gaia. The next piece to be contemplated is the plant kingdom.
The Plant Kingdom
Just as the animal kingdom is related to our practical mental and emotional fields, plants are related to our etheric and the beginnings of our emotional fields.
The same philosopher I mentioned in the earlier article has said that the plant kingdom is the one that has best managed to evolve according to the higher plan for this Earth universe. That is to say, it is the kingdom that has been least distorted away from its spiritual path of evolution.
Besides its sacrificial role of providing nourishment for those beings with a greater level of awareness, its expressions of grace and beauty are very obvious. Its more evolved species provide environments within which human beings can find tranquility and refuge. The group nature of the consciousness of the various species of plants provides an etheric and emotionally loving and soothing web that is almost like a cradle.
When human beings are connected to this etheric framework, their own etheric bodies can function in greater alignment with the original human evolutionary intent.
An interesting story on the alignment of plants to human and animal needs is the following: a spiritual center was established in a certain region. As is the nature of all such endeavors, the people who were participating experienced many physical, emotional, and mental imbalances in themselves as individuals, and in the group as a whole as they continued to live together. The person in charge of health on all levels had a very clear ability to intuit what plants could provide the essences, oils, or herbal remedies needed to assist those experiencing difficulties. He stated that without fail, the plant remedy that he needed for any particular surfacing illness was invariably growing within a mile or so of their living quarters and medical center. He also observed that there are actually what appear to be new species of plants emerging in response to the growing integrity of the spiritual impulse at the heart of this group of disciples and pioneers.
The exploitation of plant species has only become much more common and destructive as humanity, using this kingdom as a source of material wealth, started creating “short cuts” to increase productivity. The rapidly increasing world population also added heavily to this trend.
Once sensitized to the vitality vibrating in the etheric layers of plants and fruits, it is very hard to feel one has received enough nourishment from plants forced into growth and maturity outside of their natural cycles, as well as thoroughly sprayed with deterrents to spoilage and sprouting. Fruit and vegetables grown for their capacity to withstand harsh handling and long-distance haulage without losing their “pretty” look somehow seem to have lost their alignment with the etheric flow of their species.
People in general undoubtedly relate to plants at a very subconscious, not to say, unconscious level. Plants are a breath of Life in even the most depressing environments. As with the animal kingdom, they can be treated as tools or as participants in one’s living surroundings. They always reflect the harmony or disharmony of the place where they are growing. And also, as animals do, they are active participants in healing processes undertaken by humans.
Plants’ interconnecting webs of life have a completely different nature than that of animals and human beings, and their interrelationship with the human kingdom is much more subtle; a perfect reflection in fact, of how we connect to our etheric field, which is the life currents of our physical life expression.
