open_spaceIt's been exactly two weeks today since I started the first on a series of experiments regarding that elusive and mysterious force physicists used to pay attention to in the 19th century, before science was taken over by the materialist skeptics. They used to call it ether and older cultures call it Prana, Chi, etc.
First I want to address some suggestions and further thoughts that came up in the comments and during later ramblings while doing nothing. What I am starting to find about this experiment is that it will yield more questions than answers and one of the reasons for that is because water is an incredibly complex medium and we can see some of those properties chemically.
So lets talk a little bit about the chemistry of water before we proceed. One of the remarkable properties of water compared to other hydrides (some hydrogen compounds) is that it has a very high boiling point despite its small molecular weight. Here is a graph that compares it to other hydrides:
The reason for this can be measured in what is referred to as specific heat , which measures how much energy needs to be absorbed by the compound to increase in temperature. Water has a high specific heat and that is why it takes a long while for it to boil or to freeze even though the pot you heat it in changes very rapidly in temperature. This property of water enables for life to happen on Earth in a wide range of temperatures going from 0ºC to 100ºC at a standard pressure. The reason for this characteristic of water is that water molecules bind together through a strong type of bond called hydrogen bonds which take a lot of energy to be disrupted and thus making it harder for the molecules to jiggle faster through the input of energy in the form of heat, which is what heat does to molecules. Here is an image that illustrated hydrogen bonds in water:
All this is to say that water is complex and recalling all this properties of water I thought about what precautions I should take while preparing the water for this experiment. One of this issues was raised bywbj and that is that because of the impurities of tap water microwaving could create unique radiolytic products (URP's) that also effect the experiment. I haven't looked at what URPs are specifically nor to what amounts are they created when microwaving food so I didn't add that variable to my experiment but it is definitely worth experimenting and that could be easily done by using distilled water.
Now lets talk about the etheric properties of water. As occultist have known for a long while, the ether is affected by thoughts and emotions as well as the surrounding etheric fields. Also water's capacity to hold unto an etheric charge varies with temperature --the colder the water the more its capacity to hold it and that is why a cold shower makes you feel vitalized. An important point regarding waters etheric properties was raised byscotlyn and that is that my emotional state could add another variable to the experiment so she suggested that I do a double blind process by having one person prepare the water and have another person pour the water, which would be encoded but not described as to not affect the results. I think that is sensible to do and probably will do in the next iteration of this experiment. There have been apparently a lot of mad scientist that have explored the forbidden properties of water, so this is a rabbit hole I am not yet prepared to jump into and perhaps will do until I have developed my clairvoyant abilities enough to use them or have devices a radionic contraption to help the process.
Now, to the long awaited results.
Plant 1:
Water: Microwaved
Health: Not so green but still alive
Flowers: None
Plant 2:
Water: Consecrated
Health: Not so green but still alive
Flowers: None
Plant 3:
Water: Boiled in a pan
Health: Green and alive
Flowers: Yes
Plant 4:
Water: Regular
Health: Green and alive
Flowers: Yes
Notice something odd? I notice it too. Both plants which etheric patterns have been altered through the water they received (allegedly for the microwave) are withering as you can see on the close ups of the leaves and neither of them has flower not flower buds. I find this interesting, definitely not conclusive, but interesting. One thing that I am reminded of by the unexpected withering of the plant watered with consecrated water is that some plants do mesh well with our etheric patterns, mostly pine trees, but others don't and that is perhaps one of the reasons why those plants are dying. Perhaps small plants don't like their ether altered. Hmm. Further experimentation is needed. What do you think?

Yes, all the plants where grown and have been since the experiment started within a foot so they all get approximately the same amount of sunlight as they are facing west and receive most of the sunlight in the afternoon about at the same time; and they get plenty of it.
Have you noticed differences in plants that are hit first and last with sunlight?
A less healthy plant for the ones that seem to be okay in order to see if they revitalize?
It is a small sample size and had I had more seedlings a larger control group and test group would've been possible, if the two plants that are withering completely die, I will re run it with 5 per group.
I definitely expected at the beginning for consecrated water to either be neutral or positive but I am delighted to confirm that indeed some plants don't react well to human energy that way, something that appears on the lore repeatedly.
Fascinating

Depending on how deep into this rabbit hole you want to go, you might consider finding different types of consecration ritual, or different deities, or different times, and comparing their different effects. For example, off the top of my head, you might compare a consecration during a Leo moon vs a consecration during a Cancer moon. Planting lore suggests the first might be inimical to plant life, while the second one would be friendly.
In terms of "double blinding" I thought of another way to introduce blinding while still retaining overall control. For example, you might prepare 4 identical bottles with your different waters, and label them using your labels above (microwaved, consecrated, etc), then take the bottles to the house of Person B, where you ask them to change the labels from what they are to "A" "B" "C" etc, keeping a record of what goes with what. Ask them to put their record away sommewhere safe, and not to discuss any aspect of what they have done with any other person - including you. Ask them to leave the re-labelled bottles somewhere that allows Person C to collect them without either person encountering the other. Person C simply collects the bottles and brings them back to you, whereupon you proceed to allocate one to each plant and water accordingly. Person C is also enjoined not to discuss any aspect of what they have done with any other person - including you.

Date: 2021-03-25 05:40 pm (UTC)Regarding specific types of consecrations, I thought of that and it is an excellent point you raise. I am using the general consecration method that is used for holly water and is also used to input our energy “in general” so I think that is why. I am sure there are ways to direct different types of pranas in a more specific way to achieve different things, unfortunately I haven’t seen much of that in the Western tradition (perhaps further down my studies). I do know that Druids were known for making plants grow at an increased pace but whether it is metaphorical or describing a method, I don’t know. I know that Yogis have much more experience working with the dense ethers so perhaps they know. Apparently if you manage to reduce your heartbeat to a certain point, without gasping, you can get a better sense of the life of plants. All this is opening already a rabbit whole for which I don’t have the abilities yet. But perhaps some divination could be useful as guidance until then.
That’s a good way of doing it! Much fodder for future experiment design.
Re: Fascinating
Date: 2021-03-25 08:09 pm (UTC)Just a thinking out loud here. Perhaps figuring out a way to formulate a consecration ceremony such that a tree (or a tree spirit), or maybe the spirit of the crop - perhaps a Demeter or Ceres like deity, or Corn Maiden? is asked to (or given the opportunity to) input its "plant-specific" prana into the water?
