I included plenty of links to amazing information about Masanobu Fukuoka and what he learned about Natural Ways of Farming. Allowing plants to grow naturally. No pruning of fruit tree's. Inspiring he is to me.
(Gardening in and around Silver City, New Mexico)
This is the second part of a very long writing. I may not post the first part. I'm still thinking about it. Or only a part of it.
I want to define the word analogy at this point in the writing.
ANALOGY 2. A form of logical inference, or an instance of it, based on the assumption that if two things are alike in some respects, then they must be alike in other respects.
The Analogy being Plants and People Co-Creating together The Miracle of Life and Love and Appreciation.
My intent with this writing is to focus on the solution and not the chemical agriculture problem. Bruce Lipton also has the Karen Horney Model of (moving toward Nourishment) in the petri-dish and they (move away from Toxins). Nurture is nourishment. Fear and defense is toxin and shuts down the
immune system: Energy-Fields activate Genetic Codes positive or negative: This awareness is at the core of Energy Medicine and Quantum Biology: my term, I don't know if this word exists or not, but I need to make use of it. Nurture grows plants as much as water and organic material. Note Bruce Lipton's background is in Cloning Human Muscle Cells. The Human Genome project started out with the assumption that it takes 120,000 to 130,000 genes to make a human. But just less than 34,000 genes were found.
Bottom line is that it's the Perception of the Environment through cell wall receptors that activate genes for growth or protection. Genetic Engineering still does not take environmental signals into account for genetic adaptation. It is my hope in this writing and sharing of my own observations and research that plants adapt to a positive environmental signal. Me the one who does gardening, and all of us who do gardening. I figure my writing would receive comments: Like Oh Yeah Where did you get an idea like that? For all who want to know more about this. Please take note of authors and book lists and read up on it yourself. I have found this material fascinating. We have everything to do with our environment. The health of it, or the lack of health we see on earth. Our perception will change what we see in our environment. As our perception changes, then plants change accordingly. Its predictable. Think about it. Consider something else beside Chemical Poisons and Fertilizers being sold, to stop insects from cleaning up weak plants. Chemical Agriculture has created weak plants and produce world wide for 400+ years as documented in the first half of the Secret Life of Plants book. The humans and animals that consume it are weak. Insects and plants, and opportunistic organisms in human blood are only the clean up crew. Its their job, they have always been on earth. Observation of anything weak means something in the ENVIRONMENT needs to change.

Humans who appreciate their garden raise the immune system vibration in the morphic "energetic" genetic field of plants, and as Bruce Lipton says so clearly with observation in the laboratory: the genes of the plant adapt and "turn on" (positive genetic adaptation) = Charles Darwin's theory of adaptation and evolution is accurate: but the observers consciousness being positive or negative influences the "energetic field" of what they most likely will see in their own garden and relationship with all life: which means Albert Einstein is also accurate with his observation of fields of energy effecting objects i/e This leads me to define a new term in Biology its called QUANTUM-BIOLOGY. Fear and loathing and (STRESS) lowers the immune system of plants, because plants activate the immune genes of protection from a dangerous environment and they stop growing. Animals and plants and all life respond to appreciation and love and they grow strong and healthy because of it: positive (LATENT) genetic adaptation(s) and/or Human behavior are (turned on) and they grow amazingly fast and fruitful. I grew up in the opposite of love and appreciation, and now I have that experience to compare my observations with how gardening is being done.
Note: Energy Field Theory started with Einstein in 1925. Biology has yet to catch up with Quantum Physics, i/e that energy effects matter. Energy also effects biology. Effect defined: The way in which something acts upon or influences an object. See the Secret Life Of Plants: how emotions positive or negative effect the immune system of plants. Their gardens will grow stronger as they learn to love plants, and all life that is part of this creation. I love the clean up crew of insects. They mulch the garden for me. Most important is that insects show exactly which plants are weak so I can find them and do something about it. Insects monitor my garden. Plants are weak after they go to Seed, or for any other reason. Snails and Grasshoppers especially love dead plants and they multiple when dead plants are around. This is when I pull those weak or dead plants and lay them on the pathways to mulch down into compost and they help keep moisture under my pathways as zones for microbiology and earthworms to migrate to different garden beds. I don't have to do a compost pile. Insects do the gardening for me: they are a very important part of my garden. Birds prefer sunflower seeds over fruit on fruit tree's but not when peaches are ripe. Plant what the birds prefer to eat = decoy plants that are beautiful and create organic material to mulch down around the garden and hold water during the hot dry summer. Insects and birds are both pollinators and they fertilize and drop amazing diversity of seeds and compost that make my garden even more interesting. Where did that flower come from? I didn't plant that! I collect the seeds from native plants and save them. I love how native plants show up mysteriously.
Masanobu Fukuoka is correct when he says its all about learning how to DO NOTHING GARDENING. Talking about and writing about, Nature cultivating and doing it herself is the most fun of all. I LOVE IT. If Masanobu Fukuoka from Japan is right then my garden is really and truly the cultivation of people, especially me. It cultivates my thought to write this. Its up to me to replicate the observations of health and appreciation that I see making all life in my garden strong. Observation and Do Nothing and Diversity and appreciation are the key components that make my garden strong, and scattering organic material everywhere in the garden is what Masanabu wrote about. Micro-Biology is missing in the One Straw Revolution book and readers need to know this information and yet Masanobu has a background for 30 years as a Micro-Biologist?: he stated his aversion for doing Japan Government
Plant Biology work: so he omitted it in his book. Micro-Biology is what I have most needed to know!
Actually I read The One Straw Revolution and The Secret Life of Plants at the same time. The two books should be read together. This more than any other writing has set the foundation for my studies. Reading Vermiculture books is the other very important study and I want to read more Earthworm/Vermiculture books from a micro-biology point of view. Did you know that the Earthworm was
Charles Darwin's most beloved study of all?
The most crucial and important key to no tillage of the soil is the micro-scopic field of micro-biology that lives in the top 12" of the Earth. Its like a multi-dimensional cheese cloth field of micro-scopic rootlets that brings water and nutrients everywhere in that field. When a carrot grows through that membrane of micro-scopic rootlets it is being fed and watered through many many sq ft of a root membrane that lives in the top 12" of earth: very similar to Mushroom Miceleum Culture that grows in cow dung. That membrane brings micro-water and micro-nutrients to the carrot from many feet away. I remember reading this years ago, and I thought wow what's that? What got me to pay attention/observation was a single shovel slicing the earth and how damaged that micro field became and how all plants around that slice became weaker and less vital and strong and they went to flower much later then those with undisturbed earth and no shovel slicing through the micro-scopic field of rootlets. That micro field of rootlets is something else altogether.
It is not a plant but a field of some kind of micro-scopic life that lives in undisturbed earth. This field is a blanket of micro-rootlets just waiting for scattered seedlings to penetrate that blanket of roots. The most amazing symbiotic relationship I have yet learned about. Especially important when growing a garden in the desert, where every drop of water is used with care. This membrane is a micro-scopic drip irrigation system like no other that humans could ever create. Chemical agriculture kills that field of micro-rootlets. Tillage of the earth kills that field of micro rootlets. That field of micro-rootlets is actually what I am feeding with irrigation water and organic material and its what is actually growing my garden and feeding my plants. How I look at gardening now is through the study of micro-biology and up the biotic chain of life to larger biological life forms. All enmeshed and intertwined. This is why Masanobu said don't till the earth with a tractor or shovel. I kept wondering why he said this over and over again. I knew he was right.
The healthy forest does not shovel seeds into itself. No place in Nature shovels itself. I have yet to find this written on any garden forum anywhere. Yet I read about it somewhere years ago. Maybe I can find who it was that did this research and post that writing all over the place. Note: I do random scattering of seed. Where the seeds find a strong place to grow is what I find interesting. I could never plan this kind of companion planting. Its all random and its amazing to observe where plants like to grow and grow strong and where they do not. I leave the strongest healthiest momma plants to go to seed. These days I have almost no seed to scatter, as last years plants that went to seed already seeded my garden, and as I write this they germinate constantly under a blanket of snow. Don't believe what Seed Packets tell you about waiting till last frost to start gardening: by that time its so hot that the top 2 inches of earth are bone dry 2-3 hours after watering: my garden will be a foot to 2 foot high by the time last frost happens. My plants have adapted to this area and I expect it. I do nothing but watch. If some area's need some filling in then I scatter seed there. To plant some seeds I may take the end of stick and with care make a small hole and drop a seed in there. I'm trying to be very careful not to damage the micro root membrane that feeds my garden.
All life in the garden is enmeshed and totally interconnected. Insects and animals and birds and diverse plants are all feedback as to the health of the entire system. The whole being greater than the sum of its parts. My garden is a garden that feeds everybody. All life in my garden thrives. Total health for all. Besides its totally interesting to see whats happening outside in the garden or zoo in my yard.
ENTRAINMENT: A phenomenon illustrated by the principle of "mode locking." For example, when a number of clocks are placed close together, their pendulums will eventually synchronize. In human biology this is manifested when groups of women who work and live together progressively synchronize their menstrual cycles. It's similar to the phenomenon of a tuning fork beginning to vibrate at a rate of the adjacent fork.
ENERGY FIELD: A range set by parameters off the phase space of an attractor field---whose pattern operates within the larger energy field of consciousness and is observable by characteristic effects in human behavior. The power of energy fields is calibrated much like voltage in an electrical system or the power of magnetic or gravitational fields.
M-FIELDS: Morphogenic fields, which are equivalent to attractor patterns. In the hypothesis presented by Rupert Sheldrake, morphogenetic fields are part of the "theory of formative causation"---that energy fields of form evolve and reinforce each other.
Note: Plants and Humans and Animals observe each other and respond accordingly. See more on Rupert Sheldrake's research and free website to do your own science experiments.
NEUROTRANSMITTERS: Brain chemicals (hormones and the like) that regulate neuronal transmission throughout the nervous system. Very slight chemical changes can result in major subjective and objective alteration in emotion, thought, or behavior. This is the prime area of current research in psychiatry
Note: this is also the prime research of energy medicine and that thoughts and emotions effect things. The entire field of life is reading the energy field and adapting according to Nurture or Protection.

ONE STRAW REVOLUTION
Masanobu Fukuoka is one of the most radical and influential agrarian thinkers this century. 'One Straw' describes the events that led to the development of Fukuoka'sconcept of 'natural farming'. He emphasizes the basic principles of no cultivation, no chemical fertilizer, incorporating and controlling useful weeds and rather than eradicating them. Using these methods Fukuoka produces greater crops than achieved by chemical based modern farming practices. Year by year the soil becomes richer and more productive. This book should be compulsory reading for all who wish to bring about change, not only in agriculture, but how we view the whole process of growing food.

Last but not least another term needs repeating. It began this writing. I also see that it needs to close this writing.
ANALOGY 2. A form of logical inference, or an instance of it, based on the assumption that if two things are alike in some respects, then they must be alike in other respects. I/E That plants Cultivate people. Excellent mirror. All life is a mirror that reflects back to us where we are. Plants and People are biofeedback of each other.
The Analogy being Plants and People Co-Creating together The Miracle of Life and Love and Appreciation.
Appreciate all life and it will appreciate in return and offer fruit and unexpected adaptations to harsh environments in return because the vibration I send out is that its safe to procreate.
I want to offer thanks to my friend Shirley, who said to me. Plants germinating under the snow is not normal, to most people. I never believed plants could not grow year round. Some think it's a miracle. Its ordinary to me. I expect it and have seen it for a long time. Not every plant want to germinate when its cold. But maybe my feelings towards them is what warms them up?
All the best, Peder |
