Plants have consciousness

I’d like to share this with everyone and start a conversation.

Our beloved plants have consciousness. In fact every living thing does.

Common knowledge is that animals, insects etc have feelings but not plants, trees, microbes...

This is not the truth - how wonderful! The mystery of life.

Here is a explanation of how consciousness is infinite. And that the consciousness in you reading these words has never and will never die. Only the body or object it possess.

Now.

Say you take a cutting of a plant and clone it. As it’s in the process of producing roots the mother plant is then killed. See how this doesn’t affect the clone? Yet it’s still alive!! Consciousness is the invisible yet perceivable reality connecting us with everything.

I had an experience where I got really pissed off around my plants - usually they make me happy but I knocked off a plant which fell on another and broke a branch. Just shouted ‘FUCK!!’

I cleaned up and taped the branch back but I noticed all the other 6 plants in there were drooping when they were nice and perky just before.

Amazing things these plants!

Treat em with respect and they’ll look after you.

Here’s a video If some folk need more awareness on the subject.

Define consciousness. While it is clear nonsentient organisms react and interact with their environment, i posit it is strictly proteins, molecular chains, and other motor functions in chain reactions that mimick consciousness. Auxin makes plants turn towards a light source. Plant toxins evolved for protection. These, imo, do not denote consciousness.

Consciousness is simply awareness or being. It is totally abstract in the sense it can’t be measured with the human senses. Yet it is the very thing that gives us the ability to measure - awareness.

Another way to understand consciousness is sleep. We spend a 3rd of our lives asleep. In sleep there are various stages of consciousness. Sub conscious (your dreams) and unconscious (dreamless sleep).

We are the ‘window’ (consciousness itself) into all these other possible states of consciousness.

Didn't watch the video, but yes, plants communicate. If you have, say, 3 plants in the ground next to each other, and you kill 1, the other 2 will know that there is danger near. The microbes in the soil help plants to communicate and give or take nutrients from one area of soil to another. I learned this thru studying Electro-Magnetic culture. I can probably dig up old studies. My favorite article/site was called "plantricity", which applied electric frequencies directly to the plants to speed plant production. Kind of off topic, but worth the read IMO.

Totally! I've read recently that this is for sure a known phenomenon with Aspen groves and other interconnected species through electrochemicalsignals, with regards to nutrient sharing and biochemical protection mechanisms to help fight fungal infections/attacks. Also know some researchers that did a "plantricity" study and have supposedly applied it to cannabis successfully.. Pretty cool stuff!!

Consciousness; using the word lightly, bc its consciousness in their way. In a study and a movie too where, techs took young plants (2-3wks veg) turned them on their side, froze them in darkness for ~24hrs later etc, reintroduced them into their environment. Despite it being "knocked over" and completely frozen that way, it remembered which way the light was by previously establishing a communication network with geotropism/phototropism /soil..etc. Plants are not plain! lol

If my plants were conscious they wouldn't bud because they would know I was going to kill them, lol.
