What Is Subtle Energy?
Our sun produces gravity, light, electromagnetic waves and radiation. Sunlight transforms into heat when it strikes a dark substance like soil. This heat warms our planet enough to support life. The moon produces gravity and light, which affects seed germination. Bird songs radiate music and sounds which stimulate germination, plant growth and vibration of leaf stomata. The earth's magnetic and crystal fields affect germination and plant growth. These types of energy are "givens"; that is, they are taken for granted as they are the very basis for the functions of all life on earth.
These are called subtle energies, but little effort is made to apply them, per se, in modern agriculture. They are passively accepted. |
Benefits of Subtle-Energy GardeningA SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP is a relationship in which two things mutually benefit each other. A symbiotic feature adds value of an equal amount for the cost or effort involved. For example, 1 + 1 = 2 is a symbiotic system. We obtain a 1 unit increase in output value for each unit of effort or cost applied.A SYNERGISTIC FEATURE is a feature which adds an output value greater then the cost or effort involved. For example, 1 + 1 = 2X (where X is greater than 1) is a synergistic system. We obtain more than 1 unit increase in output value for each unit of effort or cost applied. This brings up the questions -- "What are symbiotic and synergistic features of a gardening process, and how effective are they?" Some symbiotic or synergistic gardening systems have been identified and quantified in experiments conducted at the Foundation for the Betterment of Mankind. The subtle-energy features listed in the opening paragraphs of Chapter 5 summarizes and quantifies some of the subtle-energies which result in symbiotic and or synergistic increases in plant performance. It is interesting to note that combining symbiotic and/or synergistic features and techniques often results in even further synergy, and sometimes significantly so. It is apparent therefore that using and combining such approaches in a garden is desirable, at least up to a point of diminishing returns. This point can be determined by applying The Theorem of Synergy. Combinations of synergistic features and techniques are possible, but the benefits are not as cost effective if a plant's normal growth potential has been reached. A corn seed can support 13 roots and an overall sprout length of between 18.5 to 20 inches in six days if synergistic combinations are applied. Adding more combinations past that point will not be as cost effective. This forms the basis for the Theorem of Synergy. THEOREM OF SYNERGY WITHIN A GIVEN ENVIRONMENT, COMBINING SYNERGISTIC FEATURES AND TECHNIQUES ON PLANTS WILL RESULT IN FURTHER SYNERGY UNTIL THE GROWTH LIMITS OF THE PLANTS ARE APPROACHED. Thereafter, unless the environment is changed, further combinations of synergy will not be cost effective. This means that gardeners should choose the features and techniques that they wish to use and apply some or all until they feel that further plant response is not worth the cost or effort involved. If they still wish to increase plant performance past this point, they must consider either changing the environment, or the manner in which the plant responds to the environment. Thereafter, additional combinations can be cost effective. Changing The Way Plants Respond To The Environment Plants can only absorb a certain amount of nutrients through the root structure. Using synergistic designs and techniques mentioned previously, we can increase the development of the root structure significantly during the time that a plant normally uses its energy to develop roots, but past that point, the root can only function at its maximum efficiency. If too much fertilizer is applied to encourage further growth, it overloads or burns the roots. Further development, if the plant depends totally upon the roots for nourishment, is limited no matter how many synergistic combinations are applied. The reason Dan Carlson developed Sonic Bloom music was to stimulate leaf stomata in the hopes that foliar feeding could be used to supplement root absorption of plant nutrients. Sand for instance, can't normally support large crops, as fertilizer is lost rapidly through its loose structure. Supplementing solid and liquid fertilizer applications with foliar spray offers an excellent alternative means for providing nourishment to plants. Mr. Carlson used Sonic Bloom music to vibrate leaf stomata while plants were sprayed with a seaweed based foliar spray. Seaweed-based spray has over 50 trace elements, plant nutrients, hormones, vitamins, growth regulators and chelators which are absorbed by the leaf stomata. His plants did astonishingly well. One plant, that normally grows 18 inches, grew 1/10th of a mile when sprayed with seaweed fertilizer to Sonic Bloom melodies. One wonders if Sonic Bloom and foliar seaweed spray can do that with an 18-inch plant, what will Schubert's 8th+ and seaweed based foliar spray do for vining crops like indeterminate squash, which normally grow 18 feet or longer? The subtle- energies of sound and music, if used as a catalyst to increase nutrient uptake, offer an excellent technique for use in a Volks Garten. Therefore, Schubert's 8th+ or similar music should be considered as a low cost catalyst for the absorption of nutrients, trace elements, hormones, growth regulators, and chelators by plants sprayed with seaweed foliar spray. (For a source of cassettes of Schubert's 8th Unfinished Symphony, 4080 CPS sound and 1000-10,000 CPS chirp frequencies, and seaweed based foliar spray, see the Hands of Light Seed Company address in Appendix 3 -- Sources.) Changing The Environment Plants require certain levels of nourishment, light, heat, air, water crystal and magnetic energy to perform their normal functions. The Foundation for the Betterment of Mankind has investigated a few subtle- energy techniques for synergistically improving plant performance. We have focused light, pyramid and cosmic energy on plants by the shapes of pyramids and soil mounds and reflected sunlight off of a flat-white colored surface. We energized water, dew and plants with light, magnets, crystals and prayers. We increased nutrient absorption by foliar feeding through the leaf stomata. We increased stomata vibration and nutrient uptake by sound and music. We also changed the environment by adding magnets and crystals to increase the magnetic and crystal energy fields surrounding the plants. This left AIR as the only remaining possibility for increasing plant performance further. Plants breathe carbon dioxide during the day. Carbon dioxide assists the respiratory system of plants and is particularly helpful to plants on hot days. Air normally contains trace gases, -- large amounts of oxygen and nitrogen, but only .04 percent carbon dioxide. Plants prefer air comprised of .15 percent carbon dioxide. Recent studies have shown that when 100 percent carbon dioxide gas was blown onto cotton plants, cotton production increased by over 50 percent. Carbon dioxide levels are a limiting factor in the growth of most plants Therefore, if further growth is desired, additional quantities of carbon dioxide should be provided to plants during daylight hours. Placing an economical carbon dioxide generator in garden areas as the weather turns warmer will increase plant performance levels. This, in turn, will increase the number of synergistic features, techniques, and strategies which can be applied and still achieve additional cost effective synergistic responses. Below are some photographs of the results of Don Elwood's experimentation. 
This sunflower, which appears on the front cover of his book Volks Garten,
was sent Reiki 3 prayers, enhanced by Manna. It mutated to yield 72 flowers
instead of one.
Do note the effect of prayers on plants (including the weeds shown in the background!) Unfortunately in early experiments he had sent prayers to his garden -- NEVER DO THAT! You will never ever be able to get rid of the weeds that will grow to fantastic heights all over your garden. God must really love weeds and if you pray for them they' ll grow like crazy! Always pray for "just the plant spirits" of the plants you plant (and their descendent's for ever more). The Hopi Indians currently grow corn in the middle of the desert that produce 12 ears of corn without fertilizer, water or pesticides. They claim it is because of the prayers sent to corn spirits (i. e., kachinas) in past times by their medicine men and the plant spirits still remember the prayers. For example, make prayers like this: Accumulate manna and send it up to your High Self and "ask that it be blessed and rain down through you to the plant spirits you have planted and their descendent's for ever more so that they will live happy, healthy productive lives, and be protected from pests, predictors, parasites, strong winds and heavy rains-for the best interests of all concerned." 
The corn kernels shown on the left of the photo came from corn plants in a 10
foot row that did not receive any prayers during the season. The kernels on
the right came from (an equal number of corn plants in a 10 foot row) that
were sent Reiki 3 prayers, enhanced with manna at least one time each day. (i.e., the same prayer that was given for the sunflower shown above).
On dry days, all plants were watered as Shuberts 8th+ symphony was being played for them to vibrate their leaf stomata. The unprayed-for row produced 13 cobs and the prayed for corn averaged 23.25 cobs per row. (Note: According to Van Norstrand in the Vegetable Growing Handbook this variety of corn produced 12 ears in a 10 feet of rows in his test. Thus the prayed for corn produced 1.8 times more cobs than the unprayed for row and 1.94 times that of the corn tested in the Vegetable Growing Handbook. 
The photo to the left shows a pyramid constructed of 10 foot PVS
plastic tubes with a prayer programmed crystal attached to its apex with
its legs placed in three circle antenna garden configurations.
Pole bean vine growth on this trellis (shown below) is far superior to growth of beans on a vertical trellis. When beans grown on a vertical trellis are six-feet high, plants on a pyramid without such a crystal are 10 feet high, and on a pyramid with a prayer programmed crystal attached at its apex are 12 feet high. These extremely productive plants grew so prolifically that the bean weight nearly broke the PVC tubes used for its support. The plants grew so high that a ladder was necessary to harvest the higher beans. For these reasons stronger designs were created that permit even more rapid growth and production rates at harvest heights not requiring the use of a ladder. 
This corn was grown in a "55 inch circle antenna configuration" and blessed by
Reiki 3 prayers enhanced with manna.
The Hopi Indians claim that corn kachinas (i.e.,corn spirits) are sacred and mutate corn plants in res ponce to a gardeners prayers. This corn plant mutated to 5 stalks rather than the usual one, and produced 5 times the normal yield for this variety of corn. |
