His discoveries indicate a primary form of instantaneous communication along all living things. Backster's findings have created a furor of controversy in the scientific community, with many researchers complaining that they have not been able to repeat them. Marcel Vogel, a researcher for IBM, was one who was able to duplicate some of Backster's accomplishments. Our primary responsibility is to love. No amount of checking in laboratories is going to prove a thing until experiments are done by properly trained observers.
Spiritual development is indispensable.
But this runs counter to the philosophy of many scientists, who do not realize that creative experimentation means that the experiments must become part of the experiments. Born in a rural village in Massachusetts in 1849, Burbank introduced over a thousand new plants to an astonished public. His first effort, the Burbank potato, still dominates the U.S. market. Moreover, he developed new prunes, plums, pears, nectarines, chestnuts, blackberries, and quinces that were so good that most nurseries will stock no other. Burbank explained to me that in all his experimentation he took plants into his confidence, asked them to help, and assured them that he held their small lives in deepest regard and affection.
