In this article we will finish our discussion of the scientific experimentation carried out to attempt to prove there is a telepathic connection between minds. This article will specifically focus on our telepathic communication with nature – both the connection between humans and plants and animals of nature, and the connection between plants and animals with one another.
Telepathic Communication with Nature
According to the esoteric stream of knowledge and the concept of idealism we have been discussing, life forms are in constant telepathic communication with one another. This communication is not based on sound, smell, pheromones…etc. It is based on a fractal-holographic consciousness.
Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937)
Bose was an Indian polymath, physicist, biologist, biophysicist, botanist, archaeologist and early writer of science fiction.
In 1894, Sir Oliver Lodge first demonstrated waveguide microwave transmission lines at London’s Royal Institution. Three years later at the University of Calcutta, Indian physicist J.C. Bose (seen here) flared out the end of a waveguide, demonstrating the horn antenna.
He pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics, and made significant contributions to plant science.
He invented the crescograph to measure plant response to various stimuli, “and thereby scientifically proving parallelism between animal and plant tissues.”1
Due to the racism prevalent in the past during colonial rule of India by England, his work was often over-shadowed by western scientists. However, his place in history has now been re-evaluated and he is regarded as an historic figure that made great contributions to humanity.
He was the first person from the Indian subcontinent to receive a US patent and is considered one of the fathers of radio science alongside Tesla, Marconi and Popov.
Bose eventually switched his interest to studying how plants respond to stimuli.
“To do this, he invented the crescograph, an early oscillating recorder using clockwork gears and a smoked glass plate to measure the growth and movements of plants in increments as small as 1/100,000 of an inch. The plate caught the reflection of the plant and it was marked according to the movement of the plant. His first experiments were conducted with a leaf, a carrot and a turnip plucked from his garden.
Bose strongly believed that plants had a sensitive nervous system, not unlike that of animals, and that their responses to external stimuli could be measured and recorded. His belief was strengthened by the results of his experiments. For instance, in one of his experiments, the plant was dipped in bromide (a poison). The pulse beat of the plant, shown as a light spot on the smoked plate, became unsteady once the plant started taking in the poison, proving that plants have life.”2
The Cresograph
He was later astounded to find that plants have an “electric death spasm” when they die.
He wrote, “All around us, the plants are communicating. We just don’t notice it.”
He published his experiments in 1902 in a paper entitled Responses in the Living and Non-Living.
“He wrote how plants grew more quickly when exposed to nice music and gentle whispers, and poorly when exposed to harsh music and loud speech. He even mentioned how plants became depressed when exposed to polluted air and darkening skies. In short, his work showed that plants could feel pleasure and they could feel pain.”3
“Over the decades, several scientists have given further weight to Bose’s theories that plants may not be as different from animals as previously thought. It is only fitting that the team of scientists that hopes to complete and carry his work forward should choose to run their research at Kolkata’s Bose Research Institute and call it, although informally, the JC Bose Legacy Project.”4
Rene Peoc’h: Baby Chick’s Consciousness Effects
Rene Peoc’h, French researcher in collaboration with the Swiss Foundation Marcel et Monique Odier de Psycho-Physique, conducted research on how intentions could influence objects at a distance. His experiments involved young chicks bonding to a machine instead of their mother.

Peoc’h put a group of 15 baby chicks in a small room and gave them visual contact to an adjacent room through a glass pane.
He imprinted them to a small robot with a light on top that moved around on a set of wheels as if it were their mother. The robot (called a Tychoscope) was built to make random movements around the room and was controlled by a computer chip generating random numbers.
“At the end of each movement, it stopped, rotated through a randomly selected angle, and moved in a straight line for a randomly determined period before stopping and rotating again…”5

In control experiments the movements were haphazard.
In the imprinted group the chicks think the robot is their mother. This creates a very powerful desire for their mother to come closer to them, since they cannot move closer to it.

The chicks influence the robot to come closer through their own intent and desire. Chicks that were not imprinted on the robot had no such effect on its movement.
In 80 groups of 15 chicks each, the robot hovered near the window 71% of the time!
Baby chicks were controlling the random number generator by their thoughts. Their thoughts (that they wanted the robot closer to them) stemmed from their belief that the robot was their mother.

As Dean Radin commented, “The level of motivation that was manipulated there is much higher than what is typically manipulated in a human experiment. For humans, such an experiment is relatively boring. The chicks, on the other hand, reacted as if their lives depended on it.”6
These interesting effects are all a part of the participatory nature of the universe.
Heidi Guedel posts in 2009, “The prejudice against anything “new age” or “supernatural” is predicated upon the refusal to accept phenomena which are not readily demonstrable under laboratory conditions. Rene Peoc’h’s experiments are.”7
Collective Animal Behavior due to Aetheric Communication
Schools of fish: Fish turn faster than nerve conductivity can allow for.
Flocks of birds: Note how similar some flocks of birds and schools of fish resemble harmonograph designs.

They are in fact sharing a collective mind. Consciousness creates geometry. A thought is a vibration. When you vibrate a fluid pattern (fluid-like Aether) you get geometry. When connected minds share the same thought, they move with the same patterns. They are ‘tuned in’ to the same tones.
Dr. Cleve Backster – Primary Perception
Dr. Cleve Backster (1924-2013) was an interrogation specialist for the CIA and the founding father of the lie detector test (polygraph).
The polygraph is used to measure how much electricity your skin conducts, called galvanic skin response.
Dr. Backster used the polygraph on a dracaena plant in 1966. This led to his theory of “primary perception” where he claimed plants ‘feel pain’ and have extrasensory perception.8
Much of his work is discussed in The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, from 1973.

The Backster Effect – Biocommunication
When Dr. Backster had the idea to get a match and burn the plant, the plant responded to his thought by ‘screaming’. This ‘screaming’ registers as erratic patterns on the polygraph.
He does not burn the leaf at first yet the plant did not stop screaming until he physically left the room with the matches.

1) Tap PGR Contact Plates with Pen. 2) Contemplating manner in which he could threaten the plant’s well-being. 3) First thought of obtaining a match to burn a plant leaf. 4) Left examination room for a match. 5) No instrument adjustments were made here. 6) Lit match.
Plants are not as inert as they seem. They monitor their environment. They have feelings and can perceive what happens around them.
His research confirmed that if you say a prayer or blessing, set an intention and thank the food, this reaction does not happen. The plants apparently understand gratitude and joyfully accept their role in serving the greatest good. They are a part of nature and nature is in the business of perpetuating life. Sometimes this means being predator, sometimes prey. When appreciated, life forms acquiesce to their natural role of sustaining life.
Notice it says ‘natural role’. This certainly does not refer to horrific factory farming, gruesome animal experimentation and unnatural Frankenstein-like experimentation on plants and animals.
To continue, plants in his lab were wired up all the time. At one point a lawn mower man came into the office and the plants went crazy.
He also noticed the plants tracked him. When he left they had a more depressed reaction. When he came back they perked up. He found out later if something bad happened to him, the plants reacted and were worried about him.
When people were experiencing stress the plants reacted.
Plants are listening to their environment, to humans, and to all life.
The plants responded when boiling water was dumped on bacteria in the sink.
Even when the plants were put in a Faraday cage to block electromagnetic energy, the effect still worked when proper protocols were followed.
However, the results were not always consistent. If you don’t believe they will react, they won’t. If you don’t genuinely intend on hurting the plant it won’t react either. If they are not surprised they will go into a resigned “fainting” episode where they acquiesce to whatever will happen to them.
Dr. Backster did another experiment involving chicken eggs in the refrigerator.
He hooked up an egg with electrodes and got an interesting cyclic activity. The egg was having a “heart beat”.
He continued to experiment with eggs. In 1972 he hooked up an egg to an EKG. The egg had a wave that looked like a human in a coma having a brain wave.
The eggs would scream as fellow eggs were thrown into boiling water. After a few eggs, the egg went into a “fainting response”.
Blessing the egg and offering it gratitude prevented the screaming effect.
He also found that an African violet had a huge reaction when he thought of breaking an egg and ivy plants responded to a spider going into “fight or flight”.
All aspects in nature are connected and they are cooperative and concerned for each other’s greatest good.
Dr. Backster continued to experiment. Next he attached electrodes to yogurt. It reacted as bacteria on a chicken was being cooked and killed.
If an antibiotic was stirred into non-electroded yogurt an electroded yogurt reacted. It had a distinct “death spasm” effect.
Once we do away with the idea that atoms are discrete distinct particles we get back into the concept that matter is fundamentally interconnected; therefore life is interconnected.
In a fractal-holographic universe with an interconnected Aether consciousness medium, it’s logical that these types of effects would happen.
Nature is Telepathic!
Cleve Backster: Human Cell Communication
Dr. Backster then began to experiment on human cells.
He took a sample of white blood cells from a human mouth and put into a sterilized test tube. The test tube was whirled around in a centrifuge.
The cells rose to the top (cells live up 11 hours) then tiny gold wires were placed into the living cells. The wires were connected to a polygraph that measured the amount of electrical activity in the cells.
NASA astronaut Dr. Brian O’Leary gave white blood cells from his mouth for this experiment. He then drove to the airport, some 300 miles away.
Along the way he documented every upset, wrong turn and shocking event, and recorded the times they occurred.
Every single event showed up as electrical activity in his cells, 300 miles away.
The cells relaxed at exactly the same time he made it home to relax.
The important point is for cells to register a response people must be genuinely shocked. They need a “spontaneous” reaction. The cells only respond to a genuine reaction or emotion. They cannot be faked out and it is impossible for them to fake a reaction.
Nature is in communication with every aspect of itself.
All matter is fundamentally connected. Therefore all of life is just as fundamentally connected.
The work of Dr. Cleve Backster provides the scientific basis that can begin to prove this deep level of interconnectedness among humans, plants and animals.
Tree Consciousness
We will digress for a moment to discuss tree consciousness according to Jane Roberts and the Seth Material. These are the things we do in Cosmic Core. We examine science. We examine spirituality. We examine consciousness. We examine literature. We examine art. We examine humanity. We examine nature. We examine it all and see how it fits together.
“The tree is…dissociated in one manner. In some ways, its living forces and consciousness are kept to a minimum. It is in a state of drowsiness, on the one hand. On the other hand, it focuses the usable portion of its energy into being a tree…however the experiences of the tree are extremely deep. The inner senses of the tree have strong affinity with the properties of earth itself. They feel their growing. They listen to their growing as you listen to your heartbeat. They experience this oneness with their own growth. And, they also experience pain…
The tree is also innerly aware of its environment to an astonishing degree. The inner senses of all plant life are well attuned, alert, and very important. All these fragments have consciousness to a rather high degree, considering that man holds them in such ill repute…
Visible or invisible to you, each fragment of the universe has a consciousness of its own. Pain and pleasure, the strongest aspects of all consciousness, are experienced strongly by every fragment, according to its degree. Differentiation is, of course, various. And it is in the degree of differentiation that consciousness is different…
Your tree lives through its inner senses, experiencing many sensations and reacting to many stimuli of which you are unaware. Minute earth tremors, even the motion of small ants about its lower trunk, are recognized and experienced by tree consciousness. Such invisibilities as humidity, radioactivity and all electrical earthly values are felt as quite real things by your tree and recognized as being separate from the tree itself.
A tree knows a human being, also. Not only, for example, by the weight of a boy upon its branches but by the vibrations in the air as adults pass, which hit the tree’s trunk at varying distances, and even by such things as voices.”9
See Article 192 for a fascinating discussion of the consciousness of animals.
Dr. Rupert Sheldrake
Dr. Rupert Sheldrake (1942-present) is an English author and researcher who received his PhD in biochemistry from the University of Cambridge. He is known for his “morphic resonance” concept, that “memory is inherent in nature” and that genetic material functions more like an antenna, receiving information from an immaterial field activity.
He says that “natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind.”10
The topic of his several books is non-local communication between life forms.
“Sheldrake’s A New Science of Life: The Hypothesis of Morphic Resonance (1981) proposed that through “morphic resonance”, various perceived phenomena, particularly biological ones, become more probable the more often they occur, and that biological growth and behavior thus become guided into patterns laid down by previous similar events.”11

Morphic Resonance
Morphic Resonace is Sheldrake’s hypothesis of formative causation.
It “states that the forms of self-organizing living things – everything from molecules and organisms to societies and even entire galaxies – are shaped by morphic fields. These fields have a morphic resonance – a cumulative memory – of similar systems through cultures and time, so that species of animals and plants ‘remember’ not only how to look but also how to act.”12
“Morphic Resonance, is, in his view, ‘the influence of like upon like through space and time’. He believes these fields (and he thinks there are many of them) are different from electromagnetic fields because they reverberate across generations with an inherent memory of the correct shape and form.”13
Robert Lawlor paraphrases Sheldrake’s hypothesis as follows: “All apparent form may follow the same structural essence as the atom or molecule. The visible form is only a nucleus in a spectral nest of related morphic fields which resonate and conduct the information which controls the self-organization and development of the form. Each formation or morphic unit results from the organizational capacity of the morphic field, and each form reciprocally contributes to the continuation (nourishment) of that field. If energy is defined as a quality of being, then it is possible to image reality as a spectral sequence of inter-nested thresholds of energy, similar to the spectrum of natural light, where a shift in frequency level generates the perception of a completely new quality of being: a new color. A form and its morphic field are different octaves in a resonant continuum. Periodic resonance is the law of life and it is this which is causative in all formal organization, regulation and development. Rhythmostasis is the sustaining power of formal organization and we may consider form of all types, including the helical DNA as wave-guide antennas, receiving and transducing information from fields having a resonant affinity. Fields never die, so no form is ever extinct. To experience one’s entire field-body would be to experience the fullness of mind, because they are identical. Light and sound an all kinds of radiation may only be encodements of form/organization, just as a holographic phase plate is an encodement of an entire three-dimensional image.”
This idea of a metaphysical surrounding field activity supporting and sustaining the physical formation and processes of the body (the morpho-genetic field) is related to the ancient Egyptian concept of the Ka and Ba. Robert Lawlor explains: “The Egyptians described this morphic field as two-fold; one aspect being the Ka; an energetic envelope closely wrapped around and engaged in the physical process, and also the Ba; a spirit essence related to both an individual incarnation as well as to collective, ancestral and universal spirit principles. Both aspects of this field phenomenon, the Ka and Ba, survive the death of the body and, post-mortem, journey out through the planetary orbital system to the entrance of the Realm of the Dead.”
Lawlor then goes on to paraphrase Sheldrake’s work: “A morphic field is a field within and around a self-organizing system that organizes its characteristic structure and pattern of activity. According to the hypothesis of formative causation, morphic fields contain an inherent memory transmitted from previous similar systems by morphic resonance and tend to become increasingly habitual. Morphic fields include morphogenetic, behavioral, social, cultural and mental fields. The greater the degree of similarity, the greater the influence of morphic resonance. In general, systems most closely resemble themselves in the past and are subject to self-resonance from their own past states.
Morphic Resonance is the influence of previous structure of activity on subsequent similar structures of activity organized by morphic fields. According to the hypothesis of formative causation, morphic resonance involves the transmission of formative influences through or across time and space with a decrease due to distance or lapse of time.’”
Dr. Sheldrake performed several experiments to attempt to prove the existence of morphic resonant fields.
His Rat-Maze Learning Experiment involved graphing the number of maze-learning errors made by rats of succeeding generations. He found that later generations learned faster, despite having no contact with earlier generations.
It was not related to genetics – all rats improved, not just the offspring of the rats used in the experiment.
He talked extensively of dogs who know their owners are coming home. The dogs seemed to know even if the timing was not routine. This suggested some sort of telepathic communication.
Another example he used to back his claims is the fact that people solve the London Times Sunday crossword puzzle more easily the longer it’s been out, without access to the answers.
Furthermore, Sheldrake attributed the phantom limb pain of amputees to an energy body, or energy field of a human body. He discussed even more examples in his books.
Sheldrake’s theory was successfully tested and verified in a number of laboratories and briefly received media attention to then fade without explanation.
Kirlian Photography
An interesting side note to Sheldrake’s Morphic Resonance Field is Kirlian Photography.
Kirlian photography, discovered by Semyon Kirlian in 1939, “is a collection of photographic techniques used to capture the phenomenon of electrical coronal discharges…If an object on a photographic plate is connected to a high-voltage source, an image is produced on the photographic plate.”20
In other words, if you put a leaf or other living thing on an electrified Kirlian plate, you see a beautiful aura that appears around it as a fuzzy electric discharge corona.

Conclusion
This article wraps up our series on the scientific experimentation carried out to attempt to prove the effects of consciousness on healing, matter, and events, as well as human to human telepathic communication, human to nature telepathic communication and nature to nature telepathic communication. (See Articles 136 & 137 for other info on this topic.)
These are fascinating and strange effects that are highly controversial in mainstream science. And yet the experiments discussed are only the tip of the iceberg.
Again and again we find that skeptics fervently dismiss these experiments and results if it does not fit into their dogma.
We also find believers willing to believe any experiment that comes out backing up these claims, without examining the evidence and quality of experiment.
These are both problems, but not insurmountable problems.
The fact remains that supernatural and extrasensory experiences occur all the time that cannot be easily documented or understood using the traditional scientific framework. This does not mean these things need to dismissed out of hand. They need to be diligently studied in an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of how our universe, and minds, work.
Physics, and especially quantum physics, has ripped a huge hole in the fabric of mainstream scientific dogma. It is clear that not everything is as cut-and-dry as some mainstream scientists wish it would be.
We need collaboration among all areas of science, and we need open-minds among scientists and spiritual seekers alike.
If these concepts were not controversial then there would be no need to discuss them in Cosmic Core. Indeed, there would be no need for Cosmic Core at all.
As with everything presented on this website, the idea is to expose people to a wider perspective of reality, encourage them to use their rational minds and intuition in a balanced manner, and to find their own truth, discarding the dogmas and unifying the truths that are left behind.
Believe it or don’t believe it, but at least examine all sides, preferably with empathy, understanding and an open mind.
