The Outline of the ECIWO Theory

Yingqing Zhang, Professor
(ECIWO Biology Institute, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong 250100, P. R. China)
 

Do various organs or various relatively independent parts of the plant have the same essence? It also can say, are branches, leaves, leaflets, leaf lobes, veins, leaf bunches, flowers, calyxes, petals, carpels, stamens, pollens, roots, cells etc. all the same in essence? This is an important problem of universal significance in botany.

Previous studies have not solved the problem. For example, Goethe believed various organs of the plant are all the metamorphosis of the leaf. But Bower thought that leaves are secondary and it is branches that are the basic units of the plant. Though these results are very useful to explain the evolution among some organs, the same essence of all organs of the plant has not been found. However, I find that each of various organs or various relatively independent parts of the plant is a specialized new individual being both at a certain stage of its own ontogenesis and a component of the plant, and discover the essential unity of various organs of the plant. It provides a completely new view of the plant for understanding anew multitudinous problems in botany, and opens a way for directionally changing the characters of the plant according to human needs.

In the past, the term Embryo meant a new individual at the early stage of ontogenesis, namely, the young. However, I use the term Embryo in wide sense and it means generally a new individual that may be at every stage of ontogenesis, no matter whether it is at early, middle or late stage. For example, the zygote can be regarded as a embryo at the earliest stage of ontogenesis, and adult can be regarded as a embryo at the very late stage of ontogenesis. I have put forward the view that an organism not only develops from an embryo but also is composed of multitudinous embryos at various levels below the whole organism. An embryo composing the organism has three characteristics: 1, it lives in the parent body and is a component of the parent body; 2, it is specialized and performs a certain function in the organism to serve the whole; 3, it is at a certain stage of its own ontogenesis, and in many cases, it cannot continue to develop into an independent adult because the embryo is specialized and the whole organism inhibits its development. I have named such an embryo an ECIWO(an acronym for Embryo Containing the Information of the Whole Organism). The definition of the ECIWO is a specialized embryo being both at a certain stage of its own ontogenesis and a component of the whole organism.

This paper will prove that various organs or various relatively independent parts of a plant, such as branches, leaves, leaflets, leaf lobes, veins, leaf bunches, flowers, calyxes, petals, carpels, stamens, pollens, roots, metamorphosis branches and leaves, cells, etc. are all ECIWOs. This paper will found the plant ECIWO theory and also explain anew the nature of the development and the reason for producing stipuls, prophylls of a branch and compound, lobose, or opposite leaves.

To sum up, the plant ECIWO theory has the following key points.

① An ECIWO is a specialized embryo being both at a certain stage of development and a component of the whole plant. An ECIWO is a relatively independent new individual first, and then it may be the component of the plant. The condition that a part of a plant may bean ECIWO is that the part has relatively clear boundaries to its surrounding parts in structure and function, so it can relatively be isolated from other parts. In a plant, any relatively independent part with relatively clear boundaries to its surrounding parts in structure and function is an ECIWO.

② The autonomous development of an ECIWO is the ontogenesis of the ECIWO as a relatively independent new individual. In a plant, each stage of the autonomous development of an ECIWO has its corresponding stage in the ontogenesis of the plant. An ECIWO at a certain stage of the autonomous development rough recapitulates the course from the early stage to the corresponding stage of the ontogenesis of the plant, and the ECIWO is similar in general character marks to the plant at the corresponding stage of the ontogenesis. ECIWOs may have different degrees of autonomous development and may also have different directions and different degrees of specialization, so they may have the ability of boundless metamorphoses and can become different organs and parts of the plant.

③ A plant is composed of multiplicate ECIWOs at different stages of development and with different specialization. A certain ECIWO can be divided into many ECIWOs of lower levels, and many ECIWOs can compose an ECIWO of a higher level. In a multi cellular plant, there exist multiple ECIWOs contained grade by grade between the level of the whole plant and the cell level, and the whole plant is the ECIWO whose developmental degree is the highest, and a single somatic cell is an ECIWO whose developmental degree is the lowest. They are both the special cases of the ECIWO. In a plant, there exist substance changes among different ECIWOs, and ECIWOs can coordinate each other and serve the whole plant.

④ The nature of the development of the plant is the ECIWO multiplication, the respective development of ECIWOs and the respective specialization of ECIWOs. In the past, the cell theory has discovered the unity among different cells, but it can not solve the problem of the unity of different organs above the cell level. However, the plant ECIWO theory has discovered that the various organs or the various relatively independent parts of each level from the cell to the whole plant are all ECIWOs and all have essential unity. The cell is only one kind of ECIWOs, so the cell theory of the plant has been contained by the plant ECIWO theory. The totipotency of the somatic cell is the basis of the existence of the ECIWO. Owing to the semiconservative replication of DNA and the mitosis of cells, in general, a somatic cell has the same whole set of genes as the zygote. In artificial medium, the somatic cell separated from the plant may develop into a new individual; but in thebody of the parent itself, namely the natural medium, the somatic cell that is not separated from the plant may also develop to a new individual and may specialize in the development course, so that any relatively independent part can become a specialized embryo at a certain stage of development, namely, an ECIWO. In addition, there is a clear and major difference between the plant ECIWO theory and the totipotency theory of the somatic cell. The latter points out that the somatic cell has the latent ability to develop to a new individual, while the former points out that it is a fact that the somatic cell develops to anew individual in the natural plant itself. The totipotency theory of the somatic cell alone can not explain the nature of various organs or relatively independent parts of the plant, and can not explain the unity and the variety of various organs or various relatively independent parts of the plant either.

The plant ECIWO theory discovers that a plant consists of symbiotic and multiple ECIWOs. And different parts of a plant are the same in essence, namely, they are all ECIWOs. So, the theory has provided a completely new view of the plant. This may be a fundamental and conceptual change for botany, so it will exert important influence on various theoretical and applied fields related to plants. For an example, an ECIWO is a new individual in essence, so it can have both heredity and variability, and the variability is determined to a great extent by the certain character of the position where the ECIWO lives in the parent, and the variability in the progeny is towards increasing the certain character of the position of the parent. So, that the ECIWO at the certain position is used as the reproduce material may set off the directive variation. About this problem, I have advanced the theory of the dynamic equilibrium between cDNA retrojoining and loss in the genome, the theory of ECIWO localized seed selection being effective, the method of the ECIWO localized seed selection and the theory of the trans-geno combination for the strength of the expected character based on the ECIWO theory. The method of the ECIWO localized seed selection has been used successfully in the fields of agriculture, horticulture, plant tissue culture etc.16 The plant ECIWO theory also has a general biological significance. It will greatly help people to understand and accept the general ECIWO theory that the general organism including the human body and other animals is composed of ECIWOs.





Larger seeds tend to produce larger plants because they get going quicker after planting, and more leaf area at an earlier stage allows more sunlight to be captured.

Many seed companies inherently know this and have implemented the practice of discarding the smaller seeds before selling them. With current seed sorting equipment the process is done automatically without the need of selecting individual seeds. One enterprising seed company I saw even went so far as to only offer for sale the largest 10% of their seed crop. It's harder to do this however with the hand collection systems used by small scale growers, so knowing which parts of the plant produce larger seeds can be helpful.

I agree that the practice of planting only the largest seeds on a plant may improve cultural aspects of the crop: The phenotype. But I can't see how it would do anything to improve the genotype.





There is definitely a cultural disconnect going on. (The article was apparently written by Stephen M. Coleman of California, who seems to have a limited understanding of genetics.) The first time I read it I was going to write a scathing rebuke... However, on a second reading the article contains much valuable information if I can overlook the obvious glaring flaws...

The basic premise of the the work of professor Zhang in China is that some parts of the plant produce larger seeds that grow more vigorously than other parts of the plant, due to either more stored energy or less virus load. And that if we plant the better seeds that we will get larger harvests. It's a subtle effect (around 5% to 20%) that might not be noticed unless one was doing careful measurements.... Who would notice if their pole bean crop produced 86,000 beans instead of 80,000? That difference is smaller than the year to year variation due to weather, and it's smaller than the plant to plant differences in the same year due to variability in the soil.

So when it speaks of "variety improvement" or "genetic potential", I interpret that, from my western perspective, as synonyms for Mendelian genetics.... But the article is really talking about what I would call the phenotype: The measurable characteristics of the plant after it has interacted with it's environment, and not about the actual genes of the plant... After all, the method is called something like "every part of the plant is genetically the same as every other part".

I'm speculating that we could get similar improvement in yield by planting the seed producing plants at wider spacings in richer soils with a more favorable water/sunlight regimen: The idea being that larger less virus loaded propagules produce better plants and thus higher yields.

It's easy to say that the position of a corn kernel on the cob affects it's phenotype and the phenotype of the plant it produces the next year... We have a long tradition in the usa of selecting corn seeds for planting from the middle third of the cob because the tip kernels tend to be small and to produce less vigorous plants, (who knows why the bottom 1/3 isn't favored....)

The paragraph about inbreeding of carrots, and the paragraph about Beta vulgaris, and the speculation about domesticating wild plants are unfortunate (and should be deleted by Mr. Coleman from his web site in order to make professor Zhang's work more accessible to western scientists, farmers, and plant




I have often wondered about epigenetics as it relates to fowl and livestock... Domesticated pheasants released into the wild sure are different behaviorally. There's the cultural aspects of incubator raised birds not having a role model to teach them proper pheasant culture, but I wonder if there ain't an epigenetic component as well, especially associated with female cells, even if it gets lost by the male cells.

And in regards to plants, I wonder if part of localizing a plant to my garden has an epigenetic component as well, of certain previously inactive genes being activated already in the embryo because something about my garden triggered their activation in the mother plant.




The ECIWO theory can be summed up into the following 4 key points:

1. An ECIWO is a specialized embryo at a certain stage of development, which is a component of an organism. An ECIWO is first a relatively independent unit of development, and many also have different directions and different degrees of specialization, so they have the ability of boundless metamorphoses and can thereby become the different organs or parts of an organism.

2. The ECIWO is a universal structural and functional unit constituting an organism. An organism is composed of multilevel ECIWOs at different stages of development and with different specialization. In an organism any relatively independent part relatively clear boundaries to its surrounding regions in both structure and function is an ECIWO. A certain ECIWO can be divided into many ECIWO of lower levels. And many ECIWOs can compose an ECIWO of a higher. In a multicellular organism. Between the level of the individual whole body and the level of the cell, there exist ECIWOs contained grade by grade. An individual whole body is an ECIWO whose developmental degree is the highest, and a single somatic cell is an ECIWO whose developmental degree is the lowest. They are both special cases of the ECIWO.

3. A certain ECIWO develops from an ECIWO with a lower degree of development. In an organism coming from sexual reproduction, the common origin of all the ECIWOs is a zygote. Starting from cleavage, it is a process in development and specialization. The products. Namely new ECIWOs. Of each composed reproduction do not break away from the parent body. An organism is a clone composed of ECIWOs. The essence of the ontogenesis of an organism is the multiplication and the respective specialization of ECIWOs in the organism itself, a common natural culture medium.

4. In an organism. There exists constant substance exchange between different ECIWOs. So that the different ECIWOs in an organism may have basically the same living conditions and can coordinate with each other to serve whole body.
 
The Bioholographic law has many applications to the entire field of biology. It can tell you that seeds located on different parts of a plant have differing genetic properties, that these properties are not random.

Knowing this, a wheat breeder can develop a fine new wheat variety in only 4 years, rather than the usual 10 to 12 years. Also old “worn out” varieties can be rejuvenated to the vigor of the first original cross.

Subtle Energy Enhancements in Farm and Field

Abstract

Subtle Energies in earth’s landscape are in every way analogous to those in the human body. Pathways of chi similar to the meridians of chi in our own body are variously termed earth meridians, dragon lines, ley-lines, grid lines, song lines and other appellations in other cultures. It has been suggested that these lines were managed and balanced for significant agricultural advantage by early farming communities, through work with standing stones and other earthworks. Current experiments and experiences are showing that we can use this simple technology – effectively an acupuncture of the earth – to optimize growing conditions for animals and plants, with benefits in length of growing season, frost resistance, disease and drought resistance, rate of germination and development of root structure, and increased yield.

Awareness and work with earth energies and the Spirit of Place stretches back into the pre-history of all cultures, and much can be learned through myth and story as well as through the study of the world’s various traditions of Geomancy (divination of place). Our contemporary understanding of these subtle elemental forces would place them at least in part into the category of bio-electric fields. The interaction of the earth’s magnetic field with the solar wind, the lunar cycle and other factors creates patterns of varying geomagnetism and bio-electrical charge that contribute to the qualities of atmosphere and states of health or illness in any given location. Simple techniques familiar to dowsers can bring change to these patterns, with subsequent benefit to people, plants and animals there.

I am a native Scot and second generation healer and dowser. While there are no conventionally acknowledged training programs or certifications in dowsing, my expertise in this field has been acknowledged by my peers. I am Past-President of the British Society of Dowsers, I also hold a degree in medicine from the University of Edinburgh and have written several books on dowsing. I have consulted internationally on problems of “sick” buildings and geopathic stress, and optimizing site energies in domestic, commercial and agricultural settings.

An energetic reclamation of long-unworked land in Vermont

In the autumn of 2008 I received a telephone call from a gentleman by the name of John Green in Shelburne, Vermont, twenty minutes drive from my home base in New England. (Names have been changed to protect the innocent and guilty.)

After a career in California in high finance and then a period of study in divinity school, John had decided to bring his attention “back to the land” to focus on sustainable food production and locally sustainable economic models. He had come back to a family farm in Vermont to make “sweaty prayers” with his native soil.

John was inspired by reading of the gardening at Findhorn, in Scotland (Hawken, 1978). In this community on the northern coast of Scotland they have developed methods for cultivating plants that grow to unusual sizes in extraordinary abundance, particularly in consideration of their very short growing season. He wanted my help in connecting him to the spirit of place on his farm and to work with him in establishing energetic balance and nature-spirit co-operation. His challenge was to reclaim land that had not been farmed for forty years. He was particularly interested in designing systems that would work as much as possible with the unseen but green-fingered realms.

Of a working farm of some 350 acres, all that was left were some dilapidated barns and a 40 acre meadow. The rest of the land had gone back to a regenerating forest of white birch and mixed conifers. So John had a blank canvas to start from.

The dowsing tasks began with an overall energetic assessment of the open and most proximate areas to vehicles, and to re-establishing water access. We started by dowsing to find the original farm spring for rehabilitation, with careful assessment for the most beneficial earth energy points for John’s first greenhouse.

I found the land to be energetically clean and clear, and the nature spirit consciousness alert, vigorous and eager to participate in John’s holistic vision of co-creative endeavor. The dowsing was easy and went well, with a sense of having only to ask in order to receive quick and efficient guidance to maximize his efforts.

We were guided to site the greenhouse – an eighty foot long industrial poly-tunnel – for optimum solar and earth energy gain, with a strong earth energies power centre in the middle.

The south end of the structure was under-run by a strong stream of underground water, offering a relatively yin environment that is ideal for mushrooms and tuberous plants. The north side was predominantly yang in nature, with ley energy strong. This offered support for ornamental flowers and vegetables that would give their productive yield above ground level.

A small blind spring in the centre, where the water and ley-energy intersected, seemed best for anchoring our intention. This location was also excellent for pre-germination seed exposure and early germination location for his many plants.

My previous experience with other farms and gardens had indicated that as well as general energetic balancing and tuning of landscape energies throughout the growing areas, the optimum energetic exposure of seeds before germination and during the early germinating phase of 7 to 10 days would lead to maximum benefit and efficiency.

In order to anchor, focus and concentrate the energies in this central power point, whilst still giving John easy access and movement through the greenhouse, we opted for a “buried stone circle.” This was a ring of one-gallon glass jars filled with vermiculite and sunk just below ground level. –This is an inexpensive, easily obtainable and the more commonly used, highly paramagnetic large granite stones (called ‘menhirs’ in Cornwall and Brittany).

The ley and underground water patterns in the outside growing areas were further tuned and stabilized by the insertion of five vertical “wave guides” in the form of biodynamic towers or substitute standing stones. We opted to use four-inch diameter plastic pipes for these, cut to lengths of megalithic yard multiples. Each has a central copper pipe penetrating into the ground deeper than the plastic surrounding, and extending above the plastic into open air. The space between copper and plastic is filled with vermiculite.

The cash crops for John’s first growing season were to be zinnias for the local florist, and tomatoes, which grow well in Vermont’s short but intensely hot summer climate.

From the start the results looked good. We had 100% germination and the plants were moved out into the meadow from the hot house looking strong and glowing with life force. Neighbors started buying seedlings from John because his plants had root structures more vigorous than they had ever seen before.

Then, horror of horrors – a tomato blight swept the northeast of America, with devastating effects on all tomato growers in New England. John’s plants proved to be the only ones in our area to have significant blight resistance. The University agriculture department reported that his plants alone of all those that they had received from Vermont growers did not totally succumb and die as the blight set in.

Excited by these and other results, we worked towards further subtle energetic enhancement during growing season 2010, at the end of which John wrote these comments:

Again this year (2010), the north-east of the USA had blight on tomatoes, not reported in the press – a new variety that is much more tolerant of heat and dry weather. Again, our tomatoes had black marks from the virus but not all, and the crop produced well in greenhouses; but most remarkably, the field crops of cherry tomatoes did better. Their location was mid-field by the pine tree, and a larger planting on the northwest side – fragile, yellow tomatoes from southern climes fared well and red tomatoes from here were without blemish, as the second year of stone circle incubation and naturalization to climate proved to me that disease resistance to blight can be bred and developed using intention and “enchantment”.

John also found conventional farmers turning to him in crisis: “The old timers told me nothing would ever grow, yet the University of Vermont Horticultural Farm, wiped out early from a bad cut-worm invasion, relied on me for root crops, basil and flowers for three weeks, in a one hundred member CSA!” (A Community Supported Agriculture group, increasingly popular in the UK, US and Australia, offers pre-purchase shares to local residents from a farm’s year-round harvest. This guarantees the farmers working capital for the season and guarantees the members regular fresh produce at wholesale cost.)

John’s plants also proved to have enhanced frost resistance: “Where there had been early planting of zinnias, tomatoes and cabbage, under floating row covers, all amazingly survived a devastating frost on May 25th that wiped out many growers who had planted too early.”

John also speaks to a raw sense of life energy in the growing areas.

The corn and beans were outstanding, the root crops small, but grew when given room, and did not die, un-watered, untouched, even covered with weeds, which I left to block the intense summer suns… The garden lives on, even now under a canopy of weeds, again drawing criticism and derision – yet I have managed to, or “we” have managed to grow a large variety of crops under very difficult conditions, without help from water or even biodynamic preps, but there is a strength to the field that says to me: almost in spite of me, these crops have grown.

The benefits of optimizing subtle energy flow and balance to all growing areas consistent to the crop were demonstrated in another landscape and another climate. On a subtle-energy enhanced farm in Perthshire (Scotland), the agronomist declared the crop to be the “best field of carrots in central Scotland” for the third year in a row. Similarly, winter wheat yielded an extra half-ton per acre above the highest regional best for that crop.

Experimental strips of potatoes treated with a highly intentional essence (similar to the flower essences of Dr. Bach) showed increased crop yields varying between 10% and 30% on test digs, with enhanced skin quality and also enhanced consistency of size.

This has caught the attention of the consulting agronomy service, who confirmed our findings with their own test digs. They are now interested to conduct further trials with us next year on other farms.

Other effects of our earth-energies interventions have been noted. Average air temperatures rise gradually during the start of the growing season. Our energetic interventions produce marginally enhanced increases in soil temperature at the very beginning of a growing season. This is clearly one of the most practical and straightforward benefits to our work.

Further south, in England’s Warwickshire, a story was shared with me by much-loved British Society of Dowser’s tutor Fay Palmer, who raises 49 acres of race-horse forage. Swapping news and stories over a glass of a favorite malt, she commented that her agronomist reported that her grassland had reached its summer growing temperature a full month before neighboring farms. This echoes the work of pioneering farmer Tabraham, who achieved success with altered soil temperature, growing Soleil d’Or narcissus crops in the Scilly Isles, where the growing season was reduced by six full weeks following subtle energy enhancement.

Energetic enhancements in landscape and barn facilities to improve health for farm animals

Another technique, in the form of simple geopathic stress remediation, is also of great benefit to animals enclosed for any length of time in one location.

In eastern Scotland I had the opportunity to work with a dairy herd stricken with an unusually high rate of mastitis, which had proved resistant to all conventional treatment over the farmer’s four-year tenancy. A high-tech facility, the cows lived in their barn almost year round, with a central milking unit available to them.

Dowsing revealed classic geopathic stress, sourced from four underground streams of very large volume, descending from the local range of mountains and running in parallel under the barns in a pattern that the cows were unable to move away from.

Simple remedial measures were used, including the permanent insertion of mild steel rods into the ground. These were placed upstream from the barns over the critical edge zones of each stream, with additional earth acupuncture and energetic balancing and clearing of disturbed consciousness and residue patterns both within and surrounding the facility. On a review visit three months later, the mastitis rate had dropped by 60%. This astonishing outcome had me quite delighted.

In summary

We are poised at an exciting threshold of extending holistic awareness into our working relationship with land, extending energy healing, balancing and enhancement techniques to systems around us everywhere. Our great hope is that as well as helping to bring the human community into right relationship with place and environment, we will be able to develop techniques to help wean us off our agricultural dependence on petrochemicals, and the expense and side effects that these carry with them.

A deep exploration of the possibilities for enhancing agricultural vitality and yield through dowsing and subtle energy techniques in local growing conditions seems a very optimistic avenue for us all to explore now. I would encourage all readers to pick up their dowsing rods and walk over to the vegetable plot and the chicken house.

See what a little elf and dragon whispering can do…

We are experiencing 100% germination rates in seed germination chamber, even from 8 year old tomato seed and time to germination is an average of 2 days, even for Lily seeds, which can take months, even a year, given they want cold then hot then cold, etc. Worth noting.


As for the greenhouse, interesting to note the “roots and shoots” effect of the south and north sides of the germination chamber. As the former is female chi and the latter is male, I have segregated the root crops and above ground growing crops appropriately.

As the distance from the chamber increases, the growth of both roots and shoots increase, after the second week.

There is some kind of a stunting effect, if the plants are left within a 5 foot radius of the chamber.

Once plants are removed from the effect of the chamber, they take off, be they roots or shoots.

Another observation is the effect of heat on the tender crops… the hardier crops show no signs of wilting or heat exhaustion in 120 degree temps (F) without any water at all.

I happened to miss a watering and the house was bone dry and the doors were not open ..I expected total loss. Temps inside ranged from 120 in the rear to hotter in the front, which was unsheltered from a tree overhead…

The watermelon were wilted, the tomatoes seemingly fried, brown and lifeless… the cilantro dry and thin as can be…

Several hours later after water and shade, I put the crops back under lights for the night, near the germination chamber and they have almost fully recovered…

Seems strange to see them come back to life, but they did.


Dear Friends.

Greetings of this Harvest Tide…

2012 does indeed seem to be a year of insight and new opportunity for creativity -

I wanted to share a report from this season, although still unfolding, from a small farm client in northern Vermont, this year working with rare varieties of lilies as well as experimenting with rice.

Hi farm and our work there has appeared in previous blog postings – he constructed a small size “sacred germination space” on the crossing of two beneficial dragon lines over which we had sited his greenhouse.

Germination rates and growth over the first two weeks are extraordinarily successful. He has found that after two weeks of the intense germination atmosphere, his plants need to come out into a more gently and less intense energetic environment in order to continue with their structural development.

It is of great interest to be able to observe closely such subtle energy effects on the living systems around them, ourselves and our own businesses included -

and to progressively learn to apply these simple technologies with more awareness, understanding and simple benefit.

upcoming events as ever at www.PatrickMacManaway.com

Here are the reports -

- what’s possible where you live ???

Patrick



Well, I am just back from the farmer’s market and the stories one hears of the pressures from pests, rabbits (out of control population surge this year), deer, but most of all from thrips and other bugs…

Farmers are being absolutely overwhelmed.

I am growing lily for instance and today at the farmer’s market the same question over and over… “how can you grow lily like these ?”

They were flawless, and I have had no lily beetle. All lily growers I have spoken too and home growers have stopped growing them because of this little red beetle.

Along with the beetle, the rabbits and moles and voles are making me the only game in town or around. It was quite nice to be such a celebrity. “How do you do it ?”

Also, the florists wonder how my flowers last so much longer in the intense heat we have been having and, as you know, I water 5 acres with a garden hose, meaning I have very drought tolerant plants which usually soak up water – but mine are able to last even in a sandy loamy soil and little or no rainfall for most of May and June.

The flower stalks, say the florists, have been shorter this year than last, yet even my narcissus, newly-planted, are showing an ability to grow longer, last longer and put up with a ton of pressure from inclement weather and pests.

I am also seeing in the greenhouse, which is extremely hot this time of year, that flowers are able to withstand temperatures which would kill, according to the texts, 126 degrees F, on a normal basis, as I have no side flaps for my houses and the end-walls are fixed. Granted I do have a fan, but often do not get to watering for a day, and things are bone dry.

Finally, the ability of the seed germination chamber area to root cuttings, and grow bulbs from scales is proving to be a godsend, as the lily breeding experiments I am conducting with a lily breeder in Norway confirms that things go better with the chamber around, for me at least. And, should we find that the crosses we make are fertile, there will be another chapter to write home about, as I am now making crosses among species which are normally considered to be infertile or very hard to cross, at all.

The ovary sacs are filling up nicely and pollen sent from Norway is taking with the lily here, so far.

We will see, but that might be the biggest story coming out of the greenhouse – we won’t know for awhile, but I am excited to see such success in pollinating such varying species and hybrid 2N and 4N and even 3N lily flowers.

Do haploid and tetraploid chromosomes go through some kind of sea change when exposed to earth energies ?

Does the seed germination chamber force allow for the taking of pollen which normally would not take, under other circumstances ?

Can fertility be increased, along with the drought-tolerant abilities we see already ?

Interesting.

Homeopathc fungicide / Quantum Physics

Q: Can I use homeopathic fungicide on mushrooms? how will the remedy recognize fungal pathogens of edible fungi? if I use silica on mycellium with both the mushroom and the pathogen, does the remedy inhibit the growth of both of them or just the pathogen?

Toktam

------------------------

Dear Toktam,

I believe you must consider that with homeopathy we are dealing with quantum effects—the fact that everything has a wave pattern as well as a physical presence. With the wave pattern we are dealing with probability, and what we see as observation is the selection of a single probability—a unique physical occurrence—out of this ocean of probability. This means what the observer looks for determines what is observed, and what is observed determines which—out of the zillions of possibilities—is the reality.

Heisenberg’s theory of indeterminancy—usually translated as Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle—boils down to what we seek we find, and that means we determine the realities we inhabit. Like many things about quantum theory this principle—which is 100% accurate in predicting experiments—rather bends the mind about what formerly was believed as true and possible in physics. For at least a couple hundred years the predominant belief was that the observer and the phenomenon were separate, while quantum theory accepted that the observer and the phenomenon were inseparably linked. The undeniable truth was that at the particle/wave level what you looked for you found, and experiments continue to reveal that what occurs at the level of atomic and sub atomic particles can and must also be true at every level of the universe. Of course, chaos can render quantum selection meaningless due to randomization, and if chaos ruled the universe then quantum effects would end up being meaningless. But chaos gives rise to order, and this too is undeniable. At first quantum effects were believed to apply only to events at the particle level where a few electrons or protons were involved, but now, irrefutable experimental evidence continues to build up that quantum effects are occurring at levels of great complexity—particularly with biological processes. In the last several years patents have been applied for that involve faster than light and unbreakable encryption of communications. Quantum computers that are tens of trillions of times faster and smarter than present day Cray super computers are on the drawing boards—with the human brain being the ultimate model of complexity.

Under these circumstances it is no longer silly to imagine that what we think we create. So if you use these biodynamic preparation patterns to stimulate beneficial mushrooms and to suppress pathogenic types, then you can expect this activity as a result. According to all the rules, if you imagine this is and must be true, then it will prove true.

I’m a sceptic. As a sceptic I want to SEE things; otherwise I’m not inclined to believe them. So I look for them. I hold in my mind a mental image of whatever phenomenon I am looking for. Experience then tends to coincide with this mental image. A complex phenomenon may take a while to materialize, but at the particle level phenomena are simple enough the results are immediate.

However, there is the cynic, who may and often does pose as a sceptic. The cynic knows already that this or that is utter bunk and cannot be true. His mental image of this picture is locked in stone. Thus in his vicinity and wherever his followers follow him, he proves this true by imposing his view on his surroundings. So quantum effects such as dowsing for water or applying homeopathic remedies, radionic treatments, etc. are hopelessly ineffective around the cynic because his belief system negates the possibility that these things can work and thus they don’t. The cynic is the proverbial spanner in the works.

Both views are in perfect agreement with quantum physics, but the question you must answer is which view do you espouse?

Best wishes,

Hugh Lovel
