Most people learn to see thing from a single perspective; they look at life and object around them and see entire things. Buildings, vehicles, plants, animals, humans. Our focus is on the whole of each of these because that is the level that we tend to interact with. We enter buildings and use them for shelter; we travel in a vehicle; we grow and/or harvest plants for food; we have animals as pets, or we use them as a source of food; and we develop relationships with humans that we know. At a macro level, each serves a purpose, and we are taught that their purpose is mostly to “serve” people, in one way or another.
At a macro level, we find little to no value in the sensory abilities of any of these things – in most cases, humans are oblivious to any sensory abilities that many of these have (pets are one exception). But if we train ourselves to look beyond the larger physical realm, what we could find would truly amaze you. Plants can communicate with each other, through their root systems, but also through their ability to emit chemical compounds like different scents. Science has also found that plants can emit “sounds”, and respond to music, and with the proper equipment, we find that plants can create their own music as well (much of which is at a low enough volume that humans are incapable of hearing it without assistance).
With animals and humans, which exist largely in a mobile manner, are actually very intricate biological machines capable of operating autonomously. Other than vocal utterances, humans and animals can communicate in a number of different ways; through body movements (egg, body language), through the use of unconscious sounds (such as the purring of a cat), through the sounds created by in the digestive systems (which could provide an alert for a food that may cause some level of distress). And then there are physical reactions; goosebumps (usually indicating either cold or excitement), sweat or shivers (indicating exposure to a temperature extreme), or tears (usually indicating an emotional response to something, or exposure to a particular chemical, like that in an onion).
Many at this point may be asking about the inclusion of “buildings” and “vehicles” in this list. It is not a mistake! Even these inanimate objects can have a “soul”, and in some cases, other Souls can inhabit the object. There are people that have an ability to communicate with their house, and are able to “interpret” the creeks and groans of a house; they know when something in the building needs repair – it may appear as an intuitive thought, something you “just know”, but in many cases, the Soul of the building has provided you with information, on some level, to address its needs. Vehicles are the same way; many people “talk” to their car, as if it were a very close friend. But even a car will tell you when something is not quite right; it will begin making “funny noises”, or something will just not “feel right” – like from a transmission, or engine, all one need do is to listen closely to these noises to determine what they mean. Noises are the only means that a car has of effectively communicating with you.
All of these latter things occur at a micro level – at a level that is beyond the basic level of input and output (as most people know and understand daily communications and Energies). It requires a higher degree of awareness and attention to master these, but they are possible for anybody to achieve. It requires focus, and for one to pay attention to the environment that they are in.
For plants, we are just beginning to understand that plants are capable of creating “music” – sounds at a very low level that can now be captured with electronic systems and amplified. When humans and animals “hear” sound, what we are actually doing is sensing minute variations in the pressure of the air around them – pressure variations that last for fractions of a second; the ears (or in some cases other parts of a body, like bones), will convert or transmit these small pressure waves to a part of the body that will then convert them into an electrical signal that is then sent to the brain. The brain then interprets that information, and translates it into what we know as a sound. We learn at a young age to associate particular sounds with particular situations; music is one “situation”, but so are the sounds associated with the closing of a door, the running of a car engine, or the sounds of the wind blowing the limbs of a tree. All of these things are learned; they are how we process the information that we have received. We have learned to interpret these inputs in a very limited way, even though often more information is available.
We have yet to understand the extent to which plants communicate with each other. We are aware that they communicate through their root networks, but we have yet to develop an ability to sense or interpret these communications. However, there are people that have an ability to communicate with plants, and in some cases, can communicate with plants that are many miles away by utilizing the interconnectedness of their root networks. As an example, I have communicated with whales and dolphins in the Pacific Ocean, while in my house in the mountains of Northern New Hampshire. I begin the communications by communicating with the plants in my yard, tap into the root network, talk to plants and trees on the west coast, and then communicate to the whales and dolphins by using the roots systems that are used by the plants in the ocean (which are connected to the terrestrial plant networks through their root systems). Once you understand how and why these networks exist, and begin to see all that exists as Energies, you can begin to expand your own abilities to work with the additional information sources that exist all around you.
It really is just about perception and your own individual perspective.
