                               SEXY PSYCHIC PLANTS

          A humorous quote from "THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS", [See
          Footnote.], by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, 1973,
          page 38:

          ....."As Sauvin's main problem remained that of getting his
          plants to be sharply attuned to his person rather than to
          their immediate environment, when he was away for several
          days, he had to devise some means of attracting his plants'
          attention even more effectively than addressing them over the
          long-distance phone.  As his plants reacted most strongly to
          any damage done to himself or to any part of his own energy
          field, he experimented with remotely killing a few cells of
          his body in the presence of the plants.  The system worked
          admirably.  The problem was to obtain cells that would remain
          alive for protracted periods.  Blood worked well enough, hair
          was difficult to kill, but sperm worked best of all, because,
          as Sauvin explained, it was easier to obtain than bleeding,
          and much less painful.

               "These experiments led Sauvin to wonder if plants might
          not react just as well to emotions of pleasure and joy as to
          pain and shock.  Not only was he tired of shocking himself,
          he was afraid that repeated shocks to his plants, even
          indirect ones, might be UNPLEASANTLY LOADING HIS KARMA.

          [DITTO for vivisections, animal experiments, etc..]

          Sauvin soon found that his plants did react to joy and
          pleasure, but with wave patterns that were not sharp enough
          to trigger a switch reliably.  Undaunted, Sauvin decided on a
          more daring experiment.  DURING A HOLIDAY WITH A GIRL FRIEND
          AT HIS LAKESIDE COTTAGE HE ESTABLISHED THAT HIS PLANTS,
          EIGHTY MILES AWAY, WOULD REACT WITH VERY HIGH PEAKS ON THE
          TONE OSCILLATOR TO THE ACUTE PLEASURE OF [his] SEXUAL CLIMAX,
          GOING RIGHT OFF THE TOP AT THE MOMENT OF ORGASM.  All of
          which was very interesting and could be turned into a
          COMMERCIALLY MARKETABLE DEVICE FOR JEALOUS WIVES TO MONITOR
          THEIR PHILANDERING HUSBANDS, BY MEANS OF A POTTED
          BEGONIA."....

          Footnote: Chapter 17 is about BIOLOGICAL TRANSMUTATIONS.
                    Chapters 19 and 20 are about RADIONICS/PSIONICS.
                    Entire book is FASCINATING!



               UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this
          INTERESTING Quote, WITH my comments, is ENCOURAGED.
