Psychic flowers

From Barbara Marciniak, Path of Empowerment: New Pleiadian Wisdom for a World in Chaos, pp. 123-124

Spend more time in nature; go for a walk or take a stroll, and allow your attention to drift, like milkweeds in the wind, into the surrounding environment. The trees and flowers sense what you are thinking, and in fulfilling their purpose they will instantly harmonize their energies with yours, orchestrating a special series of vibrations, scents, shapes, colors, and sounds--the most appropriate energies in the moment for you to maintain your harmony and balance.

Isn't that a beautiful concept? It makes sense to me, too. I always feel really good in nature; I think most people do. It is hard to think really negatively when you are in nature, and if you were thinking negative thoughts when you first arrived in nature, it is hard to stay thinking that way. This might also be why people who do mushrooms prefer to do so in nature and during daylight. If the plants around them reflect back to them the colors, shapes and vibrations they need to stay in harmony, the chance of having a bad trip is greatly reduced.

This also reminds me of my favorite quote from the Diary of Anne Frank:

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.

And this brings me to something that happened to me on December 29, 2004. I had a very pivotal moment in the park that day, which marked the turning point between depression and happiness. I had been depressed for over nine months. On this day - a Wednesday - I was at work but nobody else was there because everybody was on Christmas vacation that week whereas I had taken off the previous week. I was feeling shitty, and shortly after lunch I decided to get away from the office and drive to Golden Gate Park. I sat there on a bench amidst the plants and meditated for a few minutes. And that was when I really felt my higher self for the first time, the self that knows all the answers, the self that is highly intuitive. I asked my "better half" questions, and it answered them for me. After that I was a changed person. I have not been depressed since. I have been feeling good every day, and I have felt a strong motivation to tune into my higher self as much as possible. You could say that the plants in Golden Gate Park told me to do it.
