Be a Tree

There is growing scientific proof that plants and trees talk with each other.  In an unlikely publishing sensation the tree whisperer, Peter Wohlleben, A German forester and author, in his book “The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate” shares that the latest scientific studies. Trees are far more alert, social, sophisticated—and even intelligent—than we thought.

A 2018 Smithsonian article reflecting on this book confirms that “we have generally thought of trees as striving, disconnected loners, competing for water, nutrients and sunlight, with the winners shading out the losers and sucking them dry”. The timber industry in particular sees forests as wood-producing systems and battlegrounds for survival of the fittest.  There is now a substantial body of scientific evidence that refutes this idea. Trees of the same species are communal and often form alliances with trees of other species.  Forest trees live in cooperative, interdependent relationships, maintained by communication and a collective intelligence similar to an insect colony.

“Some are calling it the ‘wood-wide web,’” says Wohlleben. “All the trees here, and in every forest that is not too damaged, are connected to each other through underground fungal networks.  Trees share water and nutrients through the networks, and also use them to communicate.  Researchers noted vibrations occur in a tree trunk when the flow of water from the roots to the leaves is interrupted. They send distress signals about drought and disease, for example, or insect attacks, and other trees alter their behavior when they receive these messages.

It is the Divine intention for all of us on earth to live in the highest vibration of the highest God.  It is Divine intent that we live happy, healthy, and vibrant lives - uplifting, supporting, communicating, and sharing each each other’s joys and burdens.   It is in our uplifting, supporting, communicating, and sharing that we grow quality life.  As a gathered family of Spirit-filled energy shifting and transferring and transforming people when one is low the others step forward with seeds to inspire and to guide.  When one of us is growing, but wavering, others step forward to water, to encourage, to feed, and to listen.  Together we are purposing for the greatest flow and sharing and communication of love so that by sharing ups and downs - the depths are not deep, dark, valleys & the joy is not fleeting but shared.
