He connected it to a polygraph and to his surprise, it was jittery and alive, changing over time.

After a minute, it showed a significant, short spike. If a man had this reaction, he'd be distressed.
He tried dipping a leaf in hot coffee, but nothing happened.
He poked it.

Still nothing.

After 14 minutes, Cleve had a spontaneous thought:
He visualized getting some matches, burning the leaf attached to the lie detector.
The plant had an enormous reaction!
His thought alone was enough to make a measurable difference.

From that moment, Cleve dedicated his life to studying this phenomenon, called 'Primary Perception' which he measured using 'Psychogalvanic Reflex' (PGR). He studied dozens of plant types including lettuces, onions, oranges, and bananas; bacteria strains; human cell cultures such as blood, semen and leukocytes; animals such as cats and shrimp.

Summary of some of his findings..

Plants are always aware of what's happening around them. This is not rooted in electromagnetism - Faraday cages won't stop this phenomenon, it is non-local, so you can be on the other side of the world and still affect another life form with your thoughts.

Plants will tune into anything that's alive around them, even bacteria. Humans instantly command the attention of any plants whenever we come close. They don't care about bacteria when there's a human nearby.

The deciding factor is emotional closeness and just as you can stay close with family members and friends at a distance by thinking of each other, you can maintain a relation with a plant.

Everything mentioned is not just true for plants, it's also true for animals and humans. Your pets are tuned to your brainwaves, just as your friend and family are. Emotional bonds, as we colloquially call it.

If you take some living cells from your body, they will mirror whatever is happening to you even if you are thousands of miles away. They will ignore stimuli from other humans because they're connected to you, even if the cells (blood sample etc) are located hundreds of miles away from you.

Here is a short list of human stimuli that was shown to induce a reaction from a remote sample of oral leukocytes & sperm cells:


» Inhaling Amyl Nitrite Fumes
» Thoughts of Self-Harm
» Seeing Erotic Photos
» Emotionally Charged Family Situations
» Death of Other Cells
» Watching War Footage
» Rage

Interestingly, negative experiences elicit stronger responses than positive ones

One experiment showed that a plant who witnessed a murder of another plant could idenfity the killer from a line-up of six suspects! In other words, the plant displayed that it had emotional memory.

When a professional lawn-mower entered a room with a plant hooked up to an electrode, it registered a very strong reaction.

Another experiment showed how plants were distressed when he cracked an egg, and when he dropped live shrimp in boiling water, while dropping placebo registered no response.

It is hard to isolate whether the plant is feeling empathy from the shrimp or egg, or copying the researchers empathy when he performed the experiment, slightly ironic since empathy is by definition the mirroring of emotions.


Cleve Backster - Plant Killer Experiment

Backster’s studies involving human cells.

Backster was able to prove repetitively that the cheek cells would demonstrate sudden responses that corresponded precisely with the timing of tailor-made emotional shocks that were carefully induced to the participant. The tailored shocks were administered through such methods as the viewing of violent movie footage that would have a particular emotional impact to that individual, such as a World War Two fighter pilot veteran watching a film of an airplane being shot down. In such a case, as the ex-pilot squirmed in his chair, creating electromagnetic frequency changes in his Galvanic Skin Response, his cheek cells would squirm in the next room in the same measurable way. Another example would be to leave a young man in a room with a pornographic magazine, and to then barge into the room after he had started looking at it, creating a rush of embarrassment. His cells showed the same response in the next room.

Bacteria Experiment
Backster revealed that he discovered the bacteria effect after pouring a pot of boiling water from the coffeemaker into the sink in his laboratory. His plants, which were always connected to the polygraph machine, registered a huge and immediate shock when he did this, which he later found on the printout.

Obviously, he was very puzzled as to what had caused this at first, and had to think carefully about what he was doing right at the moment that the shock had registered. Once he traced it back to the boiling water, he sampled the sink with a cotton swab and analyzed the specimen under a microscope. He then got the answer, which was that a huge colony of bacteria was growing in the sink, which he did not clean regularly! Subsequent experiments proved that the plants consistently reacted to the death of the bacteria.

Certain replicable experiments, including Cleve Backster’s various polygraph experiments with plants and other forms of life, and a host of mind-body medicine studies in humans, reveal that hatred destroys life and love enhances life. Although we could argue about the cause, the fact remains that when a human being sends harmful thoughts to a plant, it goes into great alarm and shock and will eventually wither and die, whereas other equally valid experiments showed that if a human being sends love to a plant and / or plays music around it, the plant will blossom and grow more vigorously.

The “Backster effect” demonstrates that plants are very well attuned to the energetic vibrations within their environment. It has been demonstrated and recorded countless times, eliminating all extraneous variables with strict design protocols.

Marcel Vogel read in a magazine about Cleve Backster's experiments and was able to replicate them. He got a psychogalvanic response from his plants when he induced stimuli onto himself, at first when he was next to the plants, and gradually increased the distance up to 8000+ miles with no decrease in the effect size.

More importantly than replicating and verifying the veracity of Cleve's results, the keen eye of Marcel noticed something..

His breath was inextricably linked to the transfer of his thoughts to the plant!

When he held his breath, there was no reaction, but with proper breathing the effect could be amplified. He continued to study this breathing-mediates-manifestation phenomenon and found that this held true for crystals too.

The most effective method of breathing was intense exhalation through the nostrils while focusing on your intention.

Marcel also found that if you didn't pay attention to an egregious act committed upon a plant, they did not register a response. Plants feel what you feel; what you expect them to feel, the emotions you ascribe to them. The plant, animal, crystal or body of water absorbs these emotions when you breath out, no matter where you are, as long as you are emotionally connected.

He was able to predict when a physicist stopped working on a complicated mental task based on the psychogalvanic response of plants synched to the physicist. Plants reacted strongly to spoken erotic stimuli.

Marcel Vogel
In the 1970's Marcel did pioneering work in man-plant communication experiments. This led him to the study of quartz crystals and the creation of a faceted crystal. Marcel's research into the therapeutic application of quartz crystals led him to the investigation of the relationship between crystals and water. He discovered that he could structure water by spinning it around a tuned crystal, altering many of the characteristics of the water and converting it into an information storage system.

Dr. Hal Puthoff was able to reproduce a significant correlation between human and plant

The most significant positive replication was a Russian study where they actually used EEG meters, which failed at first, just like in the second Mythbusters attempt, but the researchers were veteran parapsychologists, well versed in hypnosis, and posited that EEG measurements could work if they induced hypnosis to alleviate the unnaturality of participating in a scientific study. They selected 24 subjects aged 18-24, chosen for their high susceptability to hypnosis. Each subject participated in between ten and dozens of trials, a total of 300 trials were run and the replication was wildly successful to the point where the plants were showing a perfect mirror of every mood change induced in the test subject, while the control plants showed zero response

Australian ecologist named Monica Gagliano who has experimented with sensitive plants who close their leaves when touched, demonstrated that plants were capable of learning and that they would remember their changed behavior 28 days later, while the insects she subjected to similar trials had forgotten what they learned after a measly 48 hours. I would like to remind you that plants has no neurons or brain, yet can still learn.

A study led by The University of Western Australia has discovered that plants have more complex senses than we thought with the ability to detect and respond to sound.
