Kingdom of Plants vs Kingdom of the Pretenders
RishiDeva Madhvacarya had posted a video about plant communication as well as mentioned it in explanation/illustration once or twice, regarding their chemical warfare.
But, that plants can communicate and with sounds, giving all sorts of pertinent information to others plants and also other species, is an AI newly interpreted and confirmed natural phenomenon.
Quite astonishing in times when even before AI, there existed a brief debating by advanced spiritualists such as even the Dalai Lama, whose conclusion as to the question, if machine can be conscious, does not rule out the possibility. These were posted about some years back. There is really something to the principle of Ahimsa, it seems.
Genetically, from the procaryotes, single call organisms/individuals that started life forms on this planet, plants and animals have a common genealogy. They have the same fundamental DNA structure, the double helix, as well as use the same four nucleotides (A, T, C, G) to build their genetic code. That’s a lot in common when considered in details!
Plants may not have a brain, but octopi have a “dispersed” brain system. Aside from their central brain, there is brain in all the limbs, so each can operate independently. Basically, we are all different types of intelligences, and the distinction just narrowed a great deal, from a scientific stand point and perhaps a spiritual one too.
Also, very interesting to gain a deeper and subtler understanding of the connections and communication system of mycelium, the mushroom kingdom. It’s not through the obvious underground root system, as a big as the world’s largest the "Humongous Fungus", a single organism in Oregon's National Forest covering over 3.7 square miles (2,385 acres) and estimated to weigh thousands of tons, making it the largest known living organism by area and mass.
The “living” forms all belong to Nature from the atom on up! It’s all her domain, not no one else.
