"But more recently, researchers have found them to possess many sophisticated and surprising abilities. Plants can sense and react to more aspects of their environments than we can, and they maintain bustling social lives by communicating with each other above and below ground. They also interact with other species."
I've had extremely potent ESP and hearing other peoples ideas etc in their head when tripping on 5-6 dry gram mushroom trips, it was exactly like the person I was with had spoken words out their mouth, I've asked them what they just said or said a reply to what I heard, the look of Shock on their face is something I've never forgotten. To me I have consumed the mushroom & part of its "Soul" has become part of me, I guess you could class it as a kind of possession, for a few hours my "soul" was taken over & I WAS a mushroom.
Anyone who's ever taken Salvia or good mushrooms totally alone deep in a woods has felt the "energy" of the trees, birds, plants, river etc.
These things are consciousness from "God" its just we have lost this ability to tune into it, living in huge urban environments we have no need to read the sky, listen to what the wind says, listen to the birds, feel the "vibes" which are all around us.
The Yogi sect known as Juna Akhara Naga Sadhus are famous for their ability to talk with birds, call to stray dogs, control the weather. This stuff is just normal in parts of India.
Wilhelm Reich and his experiences with Orgone energy is famous & very well known, he wasn't harassed to such extreme levels for no reason, he proved this stuff is Real, to me and many others he proved there is an "energy" which is totally natural & anyone can tune into it, you could call it "God" in many ways.
Western Society has been totally cut off from this by corrupted Religion and Consumer culture to benefit the very small few. It's impossible to take any notice of political parties or Instagram influence people when you understand Trees are "awake" and "consciousness" itself, Tik Took videos for hours on end all of a sudden aren't important to you, just think what kind of world it would be like if teenagers spent hours each day walking alone in the local woods instead of sending emoji's on WhatsApp.
Hara Hara Mahadev.
Ohm Namah Shivya.
Jai Maa Durga.
