Cleve
Backster was a top polygraph (lie detector) expert, who through a series
of accidental and planned experiments in his New York office in 1966,
discovered that plants can sense emotions among humans within proximity to them
including other life forms ( animals, insects ).
Impulsively attaching the leads of a lie-detector machine to one of the leaves of his Dragon pot plants, Baxter wanted
to know if the plant showed any response if he watered it. Seeing a strange response to the polygraph, he
then lit a match and intended to burn one leaf. The instant he thought of burning off the leaf...THE POLYGRAPH REGISTERED A STRONG
REACTION to his intended action as if the plant could read his thoughts.
Plants respond to the threatening intentions of other
life forms that they are attuned to. Backster’s
experiments also showed that a strong bond appeared to develop between a plant
and its owner. Once a plant is
"linked" to a particular person it seems to be able to maintain that
link, no matter where that person is or how big a crowd of people the person
mixes with.
Cleve Backster called plant
emotions—PRIMARY PERCEPTION—an apparent
interconnectedness between organic and other living matter.
The idea of a common life-force has yet to be
identified, quantified, and explained by modern science. Some say that once harnessed, we may finally
develop a so-called second sight that will mark the next age of mankind.
