Sunday, December 18th, 2011Earth is a pretty(,) special place in a pretty(,) amazing space
Thursday, December 15th, 2011I came across these time lapse videos over the last month. You can watch all of these in under 20 minutes (total). The music is really nice, and the scenes profound. Given that my experience of being alive is so significantly influenced by perception of time, I feel more compelled by these snippets of reality to transcend such factors in order to experience reality in a more holistic way. View as a playlist in YouTube or watch each separately.

How sensitive are plants to human emotions and consciousness?
Thursday, December 15th, 2011I picked up The Secret Life of Plants at Half Price Books one day, on whim. It turned out to be an incredibly fascinating read. Part of the book goes into some detail about the experiments Jagdish Chandra Bose conducted on plants and the profound observations and implications which resulted.
I watched the film adaptation of the book and really enjoyed it; especially the following scenes:
- Background on Bose – Bose designs experiments to observe similarities between plant and animal tissue and metals (6:19 – 8:15, 2 of 11)
- Training Plants to Talk – Dr. an Mrs. Hashimoto teaches cacti the Japanese alphabet (4:55 – 6:14, 5 of 11)
- Plant Cybernetics – plants regulating water and air via human machinery (0:00 – 1:15, 6 of 11)
- The Dogon Tribe – they knew about a star (“Potora”, which means “seed”), invisible to the naked eye, which orbits Syrius (in Canus Major) and perform a ceremony every 50 years, the same orbital period as that star (3:55 – 9:00, 8 of 11) (0:00 – 1:55, 9 of 11)
