All plants have minds. They may not have physical brains but they all have minds of their own as you would interpret it, and they are highly active. There are many more experiments that you can do, and I hope that you will, with the nature of plant activity and consciousness. It will help you all to get out of yourselves to some extent and for the following week for regular students there is something that I want you to do, and it is this. For one week stop asking questions of the universe and simply listen to what it has to say to you. As soon as you ask questions, you are necessarily directing information in a certain manner which is all right, but for counterpoint this week simply listen.

([Gert:] “Well, the physical says the bull you may come into my pasture, but you may not come in this one area and you may not touch me.”)

I want you to settle yourselves within the moment as it exists for you. Do not take it for granted. Do not take anything for granted this week, either that objects are stationery or that time goes from one moment to the next. Simply watch the experience that you have and try not to transpose old concepts upon it, but leave yourselves open for the fresh experience of what is now. And begin now. Your thoughts, all of your thoughts at this moment, to you seem to come and go without a trace and yet they leave traces that you do not see, nor perceive, nor even sense, and yet if you quietly examine your experience, if you listen to the universe, you can begin to perceive some of these realities and that is what I want you to do. In the dreaming state as well as the waking state.
