Plant Consciousness Proved! - And Three Focal Timeframes
I was just pondering one of my plants sitting in the back window of
my apartment here in downtown Toronto. This little vine was
transplanted when it broke off a gift from a lover, now hanging in the
bathroom. [the plant, not the lover!]
What is remarkable about this plant is that recently I noticed it was
weaving rather unsteadily in the occasional breeze blowing through the
summer window, and I inserted a long thin stick to support it. The remarkable
part is that all the leaves that have developed since then have been
about three times the size of the preceding leaves! [see pic]
It seems to me that this indicates a pretty fair degree of
consciousness in this plant. I had no idea its leaves could be that
big. All I had ever seen were the little leaves, and the plant was at
least a year old at this point.
I
noticed that this was a limiting way to think about the age of the
plant. This plant came from the one in the bathroom, which came from
some other plant years ago, and on and on. In a way of thinking, you
could imagine one huge ivy plant stretching throughout space and time
with many discrete focal expressions that all bear the exact same
genetics as the big one and each other. Spooky!
It must be the consciousness at this vast layer of the plant, that
notices that I have stuck an old art-brush into the soil to firmly
support it just behind one of the leaves. All the tiny sensors and
chemical reactions one presumes are being used by this outer version of
the plant, are also a reflection and confirmation of consciousness
being configured and expressed inwardly by the ‘whole’ plant.
As is usually the case in a holonic universe, if we continue to
extend the identity of this plant into all the multi-dimensional
probabilities of this and all other dimensions, we eventually find
ourselves swept up into Unity Consciousness as we approach the Zenith
of All That Is.

I see three different timeframes for our focal attention to span, so
to speak, time-contexts within which we notice our actions. How much
‘time’ do you customarily straddle with your beliefs, frameworks and
expectations.?
[Or 'maps’ as Kris has been calling the changeable, gelatinous
worldviews we crystalize into experiences through the use of
sympathetically resonant imagery, directing our material creation
energies to 'ring forth' with what we want to manifest.]
Historic Viewpoint on Change
If our viewpoint is the long sad decades of our lives, and the lives
of our forefathers and mothers, we will mostly allow and notice change
at only that slow and lugubrious pace.
Practical Daily Viewpoint on Change
If we are looking at our days as unique and filled with opportunity,
we will allow and notice change that happens in days, or even hours.
Now Viewpoint on Change
If we have found our balance in the Now, and don’t deny our heritage
in consciousness either, we can allow and notice change in this moment,
and again in this moment... and again...
