BBC How Plants Communicate & Think Amazing Nature Documentary

2015

Usually, when we think of other species and how they communicate, we think about animals. That is one of the reasons why we consider animals extremely intelligent.

For example, we know dogs communicate through their barking. Science has even found how dolphins communicate in the deep sea.

But plants should also be considered intelligent. They also have a way of communicating between each other. This nature documentary explores that.

Plants have a way of attracting insects, and their mechanisms to do that are just astonishing. Think about this for a second, Amazonian Indians believe that plants talk to us. Funghi, for example, are the architects of all life, as they are dictating the environment.

With that in mind, take a look at all of the ways plants communicate between each other, with insects, and with us.

"Robin Wall Kimmerer is writer of rare grace. She writes about the natural world from a place of such abundant passion that one can never quite see the world the same way after having seen it through Kimmerer's eyes. In Braiding Sweetgrass, she takes us on a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise. She is a great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world."--Elizabeth Gilbert

As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on "a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise" (Elizabeth Gilbert).

Plant-Water-Global & Universal Consciousness-Extended Version-Banned In Germany

This upload deals with the subject of consciousness pertaining to many aspects of life. Does all life share a connected consciousness? Specific focus is on the scientific research of plant consciousness, water consciousness, global and universal consciousness.

The first part is from a film called "The Secret Life Of Plants" in which plants are connected to scientific measurement devices to record and measure the electrical potential of plants. Are plants aware of and react to events that occur in the environment? The second part deals with the possibility that water is conscious and has memory, the connection between the water on earth and in the Milky Way Galaxy, Pythagoras music of the spheres, quantum entanglement, Dr. Masaru Emoto, water language and the Pleiadian connection. Is consciousness the programming language of the Universe?

The third part is on the research of Roger Nelson through the Global Consciousness Project. Data from random event generators that are placed around the planet to measure collective human emotions from major events show interesting results, particularly in response to the event of 911. Finally ending with thoughts from Bill Hicks, Eckhart Tolle, Allan Watts, John Hagelin and Joe Dispenza.
