Description
Cleve Backster is a scientist who has worked extensively with plant reaction to human stimulus. He helped to develop the polygraph (lie detector) and, while experimenting with its use, discovered that plants reacted to stimulus just as human beings do and that they appeared to react instantaneously (non-time consumption). While such a concept has been a common one in Eastern religions and spiritual thought, it’s only just beginning to be considered in the framework of Western scientific research. Backster discusses this phenomenon, and the presence of a primary life force that extends beyond our present ability to measure it (beyond the electro-magnetic spectrum). He touches on mental telepathy, ESP, auras, psychic healing, and the need for science to open up these fields of research and to accept and work with new definitions of energy and time.
