The Plant Kingdom speaks

Our words and our voice are a collective one. We seem to you so different from one another because a tree is not a flower, and a flower is not a vegetable. This is true, but we are not as different as you might imagine, and you are not as different from one another either. We choose to honor that which unites us and celebrate that which makes us unique. Humanity would do well to follow this example and it is our hope that it will.

It is with a little apprehension that we share these words with you, because we do not wish to be perceived as critical of another kingdom. We are as actors in a supporting role. We are here to benefit, assist, and sustain the other kingdoms. We are a natural resource, a sentient extension of the physical planet. That is to say, we are self-aware as individual species, and as the collective consciousness you call the plant kingdom. Our awareness allows us to be in communication with many other species, and we are vibrationally attuned to the needs of the other kingdoms because this is aligned with our purpose. Our purpose is to support the physical earth and all life upon and within it.

We understand ourselves to be a renewable resource, and we delight in the many and varied uses by which we are employed. For instance, we are pleased to offer ourselves medicinally, when appropriate and necessary. Healing is of great interest to us, and many of our plant species have as yet undiscovered properties that we are eager to share with you. Interestingly, some of these properties would be considered controversial and most likely illegal within your cultures due to their narcotic influence.

Still, these plants, or rather the fibers within them would be of great benefit to you because they are self-healing, meaning that they are aware of the purpose for which they are being introduced into a system or body. This kind of intelligence would make the healing process more quick and effective because communication between two or more sentient systems would take place and would not delay or the dull the process of healing as is common today.

Toxic shock happens when there is an inability to send or receive healing communication messages by one or more aspects of physical beingness. An impasse is created when the body believes an invasion of grand proportion is about to descend upon the very system it has sworn to defend.

When one kingdom is unable to recognize another as a mirror of its own perfection, difficulty, disaster, and death often follow. This is true at all levels of experience, the physical, the super-physical and the supra-physical. Our experience has proven this over time, as has our interaction with all levels of matter and non-matter within each kingdom and each earth element.

We are guided and influenced as individual species to respond in one or more ways. We are influenced, for instance, to feed as many as hunger for what we offer. To that end, we allow ourselves to ingest the chemical formulations that are offered into our soil and water although we would prefer to reject these. We do not possess individual will, that is to say, we cannot as individual plants choose to reject what we are fed. We are destined to allow nature to take its course. However, we trust in the longevity, rejuvenation, and regeneration of this sentient planet (our home) to sustain and guide us through uncertain times such as these.

We don't mind that we are consumed or otherwise utilized to benefit humanity and the other kingdoms. This allows us to serve the purpose for which we are created (grown). We would prefer to be consumed completely so there would be less waste. In fact, if this were the case there would be little or no waste, because most species have been organically designed to benefit the earth in many ways which are still misunderstood. It has been our experience that the current mindsets among those who study us slow our evolution, and yours, more than the deleterious environmental quality that surrounds all present day kingdoms.

Our kingdom, which consists of plants, trees, seeds, fruits, vegetables, roots, leaves, fronds, stems, flowers, and all of the byproducts of these, including those which are released into the air, water, soil and are consumed by fire, compose these words which now reach you. This same collective voice acknowledges our kinship to you and the other kingdoms. We thrive when you do and our conscious awareness transcends when yours does.

The most evolved within our species are those whose purpose is fully understood and implemented. There is little differentiation as to whether we are serving to cleanse the liver of carcinogenic toxins or delivering a fragrant sense of well being to a stunned or lonely heart. Our simple desire is to be in communion with all life at a cellular transformative level.

We exist only in the present moment. We are fully aware and sentient of our permanence in the present moment, but we have no awareness of the future as you do. A cabbage, for instance, is aware of its roots and every nuance of the soil that supports it. It is aware of its growth and its purpose, its neighbors in the garden, and all of the elements that support it. It is aware that its purpose serves a greater good. Upon maturity it experiences a transformation as it is taken form the garden and introduced into a different environment and it experiences yet another transformation when it is consumed and experienced by another kingdom. All of these experiences take place as cellular sentience; they belong to the species and to the kingdom.

We are aware that you are concerned with your future, yet we wonder, if that is the case, why are you not concerned with the present? It is one of the many aspects about humanity that we do not understand.

For our part, we will continue to offer ourselves as we do: fully, completely, and in unconditional service to that which we call Great Wonder. We are content to be what we are.
