Let's Be More Like Plants, My Friends.
I believe we are intended to:
RAISE OUR HANDS UP (like plants);
RECEIVE AS MUCH LIGHT AS OUR SYSTEM CAN HOLD (like plants); and then
CONVERT + GIVE BACK BENEFICIAL ENERGY (again, like plants).
I wanna be more like plants!!
AND I will (obviously) continue to eat them. But not *just* physically. I will also metabolize their behavior + wisdom. Plants offer more than bio-nutrients (essential as those are!) They ALSO offer navigation, transformation + RESTORATION. GREEN restores our PRE-programmed setting... to "growing, living + vigorous." Whenever we see green -- especially living green -- we should know that we have just been loved, companioned, strengthened + assisted, by LIFE itself. Look up images for "chlorophyll and "hemoglobin."
There is magnetism between humans and plants. Our plasma is the same as theirs, with only one atomic difference!
We prosper in wisdom + well-being, when we allow our domesticated, industrialized selves/minds to get a good green-washing.
Wow! you've really articulated a concept i've been grappling with. Are you familiar with Terrence Mckenna? He proposed an idea called 'Gaian holism'. Very similar to the idea you proposed.
Of all the disasters that have hit the earth, the cataclysms of asteroidal impacts, global flooding, mega-volcanos, planet wide wild fires and disease, the branch of life that has danced through with the most grace and ease has been the plant world.
Because of their architecture of interconnections, communication, beneficial collaboration, co-evolution through the collaboration with environment, the vegetable mind is the paradigm humanity must adopt if it desires to survive the coming ages.
I've written something similar on my blog and would be curious to hear what you think.
Also the pictures of blood and plant mollecules is a wonderful addition. Its cross referencing like that we need to be able to communicate this paradigm effectively. So thank you!
