DO TREES HAVE CONSCIOUSNESS AND EMOTIONS?
(Please read this short article)
In the past years, I went to Dalyan Köyceğiz side to visit some of our family friends in Turkey...
A friend of mine, who had a vocational training in forestry, told a very interesting incident.
At the summit of the Taurus Mountains, there are two fire watchtowers facing each other.
Smoke rises from the opposite tower… His friend hastily asks over the radio;
-What's going on, is there a fire?!!!
The other is quite calm;
-No, she says, I'm scaring trees.
is there anything like that? He says are you crazy, are the trees afraid?
His friend replies:
There are 50-60 pine trees around here, normally they were supposed to give peanuts 3 years ago, but they don't.. I scare them by lighting a controlled fire around them. Look, when he says they will all have peanuts next year, he turns off the device and says, "This idiot is crazy."
But as he said, all the pines gave peanuts this year. This event is presented to the university as a thesis and scientifically proven to be correct. They start trying different things.
They cut down a few of the non-fruiting pine trees with a loud tree engine and shred them there, and the next year all the trees start to produce peanuts.
In another research, I read that although there is no moisture in the soil, the roots of the trees sense the sound of the water under the soil and direct their roots in that direction.
According to a friend of ours, a teacher living in Kuşadası once said to the tree that did not produce peaches in his garden, "If you do not give me fruit, I will cut you down" and the tree is full of fruit next year.
What lesson can we learn from this incident?
1-) The sole purpose of all living things in nature is to continue their lineage.
2-) Although we do not know how, all plants and trees have feelings. Let's love and count them. Let's approach with love and compassion. Trees somehow understand us, even if we don't understand how and science can't quite decipher them.
If you think that a new born baby learns and speaks our language at the age of 1.5-2, a 3-5 year old tree understands the anger and love of those around it.
Believe that touching and hugging a tree with love and affection will make that tree happier and more productive.
And let's not think about harming them unnecessarily.
And why don't you try, talk to a flower in a pot or a tree in your garden as if there is someone who understands you and make him feel your love and affection by stroking and hugging him with your tone of voice. I am sure you will see the benefit.
Because even if they don't understand our words, they receive the positive or negative energy you radiate. This has been scientifically proven. While one of the two flowers in a pot in the same conditions at a university in the USA was constantly humiliated, the other was approached with love. The insulted flower soon turned yellow and dried.
