I once stood before a very beautiful beech, pretty sure two hundred years old. I looked admiringly at the beech and said aloud: " Oh what are you a beautiful tree ! " .
I was overcome
by a sense of awe and respect and felt suddenly that this was a very powerful
being full of wisdom and consciousness. I got a distinct and clearly strong
feeling back what I did not expect. I felt at once a oneness with the beech.
The beech made me feel she extremely appreciated that I admired her beauty and
that this was one of her tasks: to support mankind. I was very impressed. The
feeling the beech had given me stayed with me for days : the unity with that
wonderful and living consciousness !
And now I
found on the Internet this story of Mike Hernandez *
The grove had a beautiful mix of young and old
shade trees, and I especially enjoyed walking by them every morning. I’m not
very fond of heat (meaning anything over 63 degrees) and the trees provided a
cool shade that made me feel good and helped me wake up enough mentally to
prepare myself for the day’s work ahead. Little did I know that one of these
trees would change my life forever in a very major way. ……..
I noticed that there was a construction crew
with a few backhoes working behind a fenced area located in front of the
trees………
As I walked down the sidewalk toward the grove
of trees, I happened to glance to my left. To my horror, I saw one of the
backhoes knocking and whacking the trees with its long arm, apparently in an
attempt to knock them down and clear them from the area. I was stunned. I was
speechless. I was horrified……..I immediately felt compelled to run to the grove
of trees and stand in front of the larger, older tree. I looked straight up
into the tree and said, “Oh my god! Why are they
doing this? Why are they trying to tear you down? What’s going on here?!” I
was just about in tears.
In a voice that was crystal clear and quite
audible in my head, the tree said, “Fear not, my
son. There’s nothing to worry about. This is the way of the Universe. This is
part of our lives. Do not mourn – be happy instead.” “But they’re tearing you
down! Why are they doing that? Oh, no!” I said. At that point I wanted
to burst out crying. But the elder tree wouldn’t let me! “Do not cry, my son. This is merely part of our lives as
death is certainly a part of yours. Rejoice that we are moving on. Be happy for
your life. Be happy that the Creator has blessed you. Do not cry, just laugh.
Just laugh.” From that point forward, I couldn’t cry regardless of how
much I felt like doing so. All I could do was laugh.
Then something occurred to me. I was talking to
the tree! I was talking to the tree!
“How is it that I’m talking to
you? Why does your voice sound like mine? Am I going crazy? What’s going on
here?” Then the tree said, “This
is but one of the many hidden gifts you have that is now ready to reveal itself
to you. ……….You will speak to many more trees and have a council of trees that
will help you in various aspects of your life from this point on. You will hear
them in your own voice so that you can understand what they’re saying to you.
You will surely know when a tree is speaking to you.” As he said that, I
could feel a very specific tingling sensation and motion in my mind and in the
middle of my chest. To this day, I know when I’m truly speaking to a tree
because I get this same exact feeling. ……….
To say that I couldn’t believe what had just
happened to me is a gross understatement. I felt changed. I felt like a different
person. Like a truly blessed person. Elder Native Americans say that you can
talk to Nature, to animals and to “the winged” ones if you will only open your
mind to do so. They are so right. This brings me to mind a quote I read from
Walking Buffalo of the Nakoda first nation (circa early 1960’s):
“Do you know that trees talk?
Well, they do. They talk to each other, and they’ll talk to you, if you will
listen. Trouble is, white people don’t listen. They never listened to the
Indians, and so I don’t suppose they’ll listen to the other voices in nature.
But I have learned a lot from trees, sometimes about the weather, sometimes
about animals, sometimes about the Great Spirit.”
So now it’s
up to You, My God.
My son, thank you for the kick-off.
Everything on earth has consciousness, how
could it be otherwise. But that does not mean that a tree has the feelings of
an animal or a human being, or that a nettle experiences as much as a beech. Some
nuance is needed.
You and Mike have been in contact with the
spiritual counterpart of the tree. The spiritual counterpart is having more
mental abilities, of course, than the physical tree. Your spiritual body is
having generally spoken more power than your earthly personality. And your soul
has more capabilities than your spiritual personality, and your Spark of God
and God of course even more. And that’s the end of course.
This will be the message in this blog: man sees
the physical appearance of plants and trees, but that's only a small piece of
reality. Every plant and tree has a spiritual "colleague" as well, who
cherishes and cares and loves the earthly appearance. And this spiritual
colleagues are in turn supported and nurtured by the devas or group soul of the
concerning plant and animal species.
And it is obvious that a nettle, with all
respect for this beautiful plant species, has no brains like an animal, and has
no emotional life and developed chakras like man has, but this has to be said:
Everything man does with plants and trees,
appreciating, growing, breeding, eating, chopping, trampling or polluting is
experienced, and this experience is taking place not only physically but also
emotionally and mentally. This is done in close connection between the plant,
its spiritual counterpart and the devas of the plant or tree.
And this wonderful, spiritual and God-created connection,
by evolution refined, must not be underestimated or neglected by man.- A tree "experiences" it when man is enjoying him
- A head of lettuce "knows" when it is bred to be eaten.
- A plant "likes" to be picked when it’s needed for healing.
- A flower lives among other things to be cherished by man for its beauty.
- A flower "is ready" to live a shorter life when she is picked for a vase, because her beauty then will be more appreciated.
- A lawn “loves to get informed” there will be mowing or a bush there will be pruning, see blog http://watchthegod-english.blogspot.nl/2015/08/tell-first-start-pruning-afterwards.html
- Plants "appreciate" it, when they are growing in a vegetable garden with a wide variety of flower and plant species.
- A potato "feels" more limited in growth and prosperity and wholesomeness in a monoculture of potatoes than in a field with other species.
- Plants in a natural garden "are happier"
than those living on the edge of a garden full of tiles.
In short, once, like it’s the case in the
gardens of Findhorn ** mankind will deal
with the plants and trees around him with a conscious and respectful attitude.
But nowadays there is still much disrespect, laziness, carelessness and
cruelty. And the consequences of this attitude are poured out among men.
Decreased resistance, depression, diseases,
psychiatric disorders even among young children, mental restlessness and
anxiety are just some of the consequences.The plant world is the second powerful realm on earth, has more historic rights above the realm of men, and is not to be trifled with.
Mike Hernandez is blessed.
May you all be blessed
