Bioneers
Monica Gagliano has single-handedly pioneered the revolutionary new field of Plant Bioacoustics, which is providing the most powerful evidence to date that plants possess forms of cognition that could constitute “personhood.”
Michael Pollan, who has studied the human-plant relationship in such classic bestselling works as The Botany of Desire, has now turned his attention in his new book How To Change Your Mind to what cutting-edge research on psychedelic substances (which are nearly all derived from or modeled on plant molecules) is revealing about human consciousness.
These two brilliant visionaries engaged in conversation hosted by J.P. Harpignies, Bioneers Senior Producer.

Okey I'm gonna watch this now, after I became one with a tree on LSD…there has to more to it^^
actually the etymology of intelligence is not "choosing in between" but "reading inside".
Intelligence and are 2 Consciousness things one is making calculations and the other is the awareness behind it all the awareness watches the mind and can exist even with out thoughts.
u lot r heading towards enlightment 🙂 for sure 🙂
This women is a genious !!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Thank you for introducing her !!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Watching this again after a year, I love Michael but oh, I profoundly admire Monica. We observe ourselves through the observed, and the object observed becomes the self, that’s why when we communicate with plants (or really with Spirit through its infinite manifestations of cosmic wisdom) we need to stay outside the Ego-Self, and this can be through ceremonies but also through dreaming and lucid dreaming (astral projecting) too. I have deep hope in a world when 3D mainstream science will trasmute to spirit science. Looking forward to the event this year! Thank you!
Zhaozhou was asked by a monk, “What is the meaning of Bodhidharma’s coming from the west?“

Mon was rude Michael showed he knows f all ha ha I saw lots of ego and they and we all need indigenous counselling and plant medicines. Monica especially as she is scared and going wqeird and rude and hold soooo much trauma about killing the fishies for cash and a reputation against theirs and her will. She has destroyed herself and partly healed, she needs healing and is resisting it and talking some crap too ha ha

i am ataken back with laughter cuz i get the mushroon and frog pics but why the beaver? …is pussy that good??? buahh hahahaha ops sar
Go beyond the physical reality to that which is Aware of it. Science explores and explains the physical it cannot explore or explain Consciousness by using the same Consciousness to do so but there is a way.
Regardless the physical form Consciousness exists within to experience a physical reality, it still communicates
Even though, they have good information it is interesting how cautions they are talking about everything and the "scientists colleagues" don't like what they are saying…this is what happens with many scientists when they depend on someone or some corporation to finance their research…They need to be in a box…
Quite interesting, love to learn more 🤗
Dolphins don’t make space ships
Why no mention of Cleve Backster or Peter Tomkins at the beginning introduction?
how beautiful are the insights of Monica….an area of research long neglected for scientific examination and that too with evolutionary perspective…..
I know this is an old video but the first of its kind I've found. I just arrived, any suggestions?

"At the same time it is also true, that I was talking to me, through that. […] So its the self, talking to the self."
Yes. That is my experience EXACTLY.
If we sit with a tree for a whole day, we have been with our Standing Brother for one inbreath. When we walk through a forest we appear to the Trees like flashes of light , perhaps.
Factory farming-BAD
Animals out on the land-CAN be good
Ruminant animals, used as herds, moved very frequently, with us acting as the predators- is VERY good for the land,
And not only good for land it may be our absolutely best option for dealing with climate change, as it is our only option for stopping desertification that is happening all over the world.
Factory farmed meat is not safe to eat.
Pasture raised is, but whether you eat meat or not, eat thirty or more plant foods a week! And yes, animals can be very good for the land, and treated well before we eat them up, some of us..
I made it until the "Climate Change/Carbon Vegan" thing began. The sun drives climate. Space weather drives climate. HAARP and nanoparticles of heavy metals and radars run weather and wildfires.
Facts are facts.
Let's see if we can take this up another level. Shortly before I came to this world I was talking with a plant on my home world. She told me that when I came to Earth I would eat plants just like her. I was completely mortified and protested , exclaiming that I wouldn't, and she reassured me that I would, that there I would have too in order to survive. To me (at the time) the idea of eating something as aware as a plant was inconceivable. We are aware of your struggle, and every possible means of help is waiting for you, but you have to be open to receive this help, and unless you're lucky enough to encounter an enlightened being in the flesh, the help only comes from within. It is the silent guiding voice from your heart. You are experiencing separation and from here the path back is through the heart. Do what you know to be right, even if it doesn't make sense, even if it seems reckless, even if it (inadvertently) causes pain for others. Get to know and understand the light within you. Be truly humble and ye will be truly mighty. There are many laws that govern reality, the most important one is the Law of divine will. One may not impose one's will over another, the only exception being to stop the imposition of one's will over another. We are entering the time when the darkness becomes the most powerful, this is also the time when the light rises to overcome it. The darkness resides within us all it, is the nature of being in this part of reality, You have a choice, to stay in darkness or move towards the light. Know your actions be one with the light if your heart be in it.
Life is a continuum nothing decomposes, everything recomposes.
Time and consciousness, from a tree's place, I wonder; Are they counting time to the beat, That is a Day?
Like for a tree one day is a second.
@~3:00 i am brought to mind of Descartes' "I think therefore i am" and have a feeling that he did need to look a little deeper.
The plant medicines teach us that consciousness is a dimension, not a property.
Michael Pollan seems kind of lightweight compared to the way Monica Gag;kano communicates.
Evolution is not purposeful? Michael Pollan, evolution is stochastic, i.e randomly purposeful – it works with, builds upon and reuses effective systems and designs.
Monica Gagliano- what a courageous teacher! Great talk, and I'm going to buy your book.
The Western problem they spoke of is due to the belief that one has dominion or control over everything around them. It can lead to misuse and abuse.
Monica is bat shit crazy
i studied medicinal plants…. I always felt like there is more to them than the medicinal properties…. when something happens – like an injury or sickness – the right plant to use comes into my mind… without any effort – i feel like they r trying to help…..
We really need to listen to Monica Gagliano
Hell to the yes y'all.
My first best friend brought me Michael pollan lately and he led me to Monica whose work corroborates an intuition I felt from my childhood on my family's farm in Appalachia and then again and more deeply in Dharamshala after vipassanana through to Boulder and some landscaping gigs and attending Bioneers sometimes in down to Bogota and working in Colombia for a minute with coffee before bringing it on home back in Appalachia now trying to revive a dying mountain tradition relating to plant life more deeply than export agriculture cares to– it's interesting to with time see my life's spiraling and feel both that I'm spinning out of control and yet at home if only for the subtle yet persistent pressure resulting from some great centripetal force. I'm feeling it.
Monica is amazing! Finally, someone who can scientifically prove to my family and friends that there is a reason to talk to plants, rocks and any other matter. They all have a consciousness that we must acknowledge for them to exist. Thank you!!!
Monica Gagliano blew my tiny mind a few times during this!

44:04 "all plants are psychdelic" is so true bc the chemical reactions sent to the brain from digestion of any organic material seems to be the situation. I used to love eating the insides of the stalks of flowrrs
champion
Wov good video
"Yuman"
"Evolution has no intent" hmmm. I'm not sure how I feel about that. If there is an encompassing objective consciousness in all things.. Does that not imply some sort of intent? Look at the orderly wonders of nature. I do agree on one level chemicals have a degree of randomness, and a degree of self-serving, but I also have the impression there are more layers of 'intent' as well. Maybe that's related to the encompassing consciousness. I think nature has very complex 'intentions' with its creations, that are likely interdependent. Idk. Just cursory thoughts. Something I'll have to think about.
Wow awesome. Excited to listen to this one
