Lessons From The Helpful Dead Dan McAneny

Starting in 1966, Cleve Backster, the country's foremost lie-detector examiner, began a series of scientific experiments that proved plants are not only conscious, but can perceive what a human is thinking, and even know ahead of time a person's intentions, as to whether that person intende to carrry out an action or not. This led to several other experiments by him and other scientists which not only confirmed Backster's initial findings, but also demonstrated that plants can communicate instantly over great distances, that their awareness extended down to the sub-atomic level, and they have other capabilities that humans apparently do not. This episode relates Backster's conclusions and theories that agree with what the entity Seth and other "dead spirits" have told us, and what quantum physicists had concluded as far back as the 1950s. The implications are that to continue advancing as it has in the past, our science needs to start uniting with the subject being studied, rather than separating from it.

Scientific instruments are useful only in measuring the level of reality in which they themselves exist. For studying the deeper realities that support this reality, within and behind it so to speak, they are useless. The basic problem is that our scientists think they can learn about the nature of something by separating from it and studying it as something apart from themselves. True science requires joining and identifying with whatever is being studied. That applies to any visible or invisible manifestation of consciouness. Past civilizations have understood this and made advances in studying the universe that we have not yet made. Subsequent episodes will give examples of the limits of our science in one very important field - agriculture. They will be taken largely from the 1972 best seller, "The Secret Life of Plants."

The outside world we experience each day is created by us from the inside. While the outside world is an illusion we co-create, it a meaningful illusion with a purpose, one we can learn and grow from spiritually. The problem with our scientific method when we think we can learn something by separating from it and destroying it, then dissecting it, is that this method never comes close to helping us understand the true nature of reality. We will do that only when we learn to use our consciousness in such a way that we can identify with whatever is being studied, and "feel" the true reality. Einstein is the scientist who came closest to using this method. He "leaned against time" and felt it wobble.

Dream reality seems so strange to us because a dream is like one photo taken out of our entire life. Just as one photo would not come close to describing our entire life, so one dream would not explain the total reality of the dream world. The dream world is real independent of our waking reality, and it is very important in determining our future. In dreams we experience various probable realities and choose one to materialize in our waking reality.

The blueprints for reality encoded in our cells are invisible to us because we've forgotten about their existence. But our global situation as a human race requires that we develop some "ancient arts," one of which is lucid dreaming, or becoming consciously aware while we're dreaming. Our cells are affected by our dreams, so that physical healings can take place in the dream state. If we can become more aware of our dreams, we'll also become more aware of the probable realities from which we choose to make one of them our daily experienced reality. We have conditioned ourselves to think of dreams as largely disconnected from our waking life, but this is incorrect and needless. The dream world is a by-product of the relationship between our inner self and our physical self. It is a necessity for the continued existence of us physical beings. We are not aware that all consciousnesses dream, even atoms and molecules, leading to the astounding conclusion that any consciousnesss involved in physical reality, dreams. That includes animals, trees, plants, etc. By virtue of participating in the creation of the physical world, any consciousness automatically participates in the creation of a dream world.

Our current global dilemmas seem so desperate only because "we've gone about as far as we can go" with our current ideas about the nature of ourselves, our reality and our limits. The dilemmas are meant to act as stimuli to enable us to expand those ideas. Just as cells in a physical body all cooperate to keep the body functioning well, so we as individual humans need to cooperate in the same manner the cells do, to bring about the idealization of our own greatest fulfillment as a human race. There is already an internal biological connection among all members of the species, via our cells, and we need to bring that connection into the experience of our everyday reality so that all members of the human race can flourish. We'll be able to do that as we become aware of the vast bank of probabilities from which we can choose, to consciously focus on the one that will lead to our greatest fulfillment.
