For learning about quantum agriculture intuitively or the usual way, there exist many helpful videos, lectures, articles and the like. What I present here are some short and simple ones, or are highly inspiring ones that would connect us to the greater whole, to the cosmos, the universe, and even (or especially) God… to our Home. We are a holon and learning about a small part would actually already reveal the greater part. We are grateful to have now rich materials for knowing and what is left is the greater challenge of applying and doing. More will be posted later…

Overview …

The documentary chronicles the present day state of the Earth, its climate and how we as the dominant species have long-term repercussions on its future. A theme expressed throughout the documentary is that of linkage—how all organisms and the Earth are linked in a “delicate but crucial” natural balance with each other, and how no organism can be self-sufficient.

The first 15 minutes include footage of the beginning of the natural world, starting with single-celled algae developing at the edges of volcanic springs. By showing algae’s essential role in the evolution of photosynthesis, it also explores the innumerable species of plants which all have their origins in this one-celled life form.

In the rest of the first hour of the film, the documentary takes on a more human-oriented focus, showing the agricultural revolution and its impacts, before moving on to talk about the harnessing of oil, leading to fire, industry, cities and inequality gaps like never before. It portrays the current predicament regarding cattle ranches, deforestation, food and water shortages, the use of non-renewable “fossil water”, the over-quarrying crisis and the shortage of energy, namely electricity. Cities such as New York City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Shenzhen, Mumbai, Tokyo and Dubai are used as examples of the mismanagement and waste of energy, water and food. The recession of marshlands and glaciers are shown in vast aerial shots of Antarctica, The North Pole and Africa, while mass emigration and refugee counts are shown currently and forecast in the event that these events remains unchanged.

It is at this point that the film begins to focus on global warming and the carbon crisis. Home shows how melting glaciers, rising sea levels and changing weather patterns are ravaging the people who have least to do with climate change, but also how it soon will affect rich populous areas.

Here, about three minutes of film is given to displaying harsh facts in large white text on a black background followed by a video representation of the fact. This is followed by a positive conclusion. The documentary claims to show the “awful truths” regarding our impact on the Earth, but also what we are now doing to combat and reverse it, including: renewable energy, the creation of more and more national parks, international co-operation between various nations on environmental issues and the extra education and reform being had across the globe in response to the current problems facing the earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_(2009_film)

I was invited to give a talk on Agnihotra for Earth Healing at the EarhDance Manila 2012. (Visit  https://www.earthdancemanila.com/  to know more about it) . It was a great event, many got interested in Agnihotra. The energy was also palpable. Sharing with you here my powerpoint presentation, and some photos that I collected through friends’ postings … Soon out will be the next issue of Agnihotra Philippines Forum 10.

Quantum Agriculture is about sacred geometry or formative force. Without such organizing or life force, we would have nothing. Such force is derived from the “information” realm, turned into “energy” then into substance or matter. I got inspired by the book  “A Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe. The Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art and Science” by Michael Schneider. HarperCollins Publisher, NY, 1995. It presented Math so beautifully and clearly. If only this is used as resource in the mainstream education curriculum. I learned about the book in my searching for Waldorf books for our daughter. Quotes have power; they also inspire and illuminate. It is in that light that I put them together and share here . There is a lot of inspiring information and truths one may obtain from the quotes alone. The book is left and right brain combined… a good way to integrate art into natural science and other fields. Visit this site for more info or related materials: https://www.constructingtheuniverse.com/ . This too. https://www.harpercollins.com/browseinside/index.aspx?isbn13=9780060926717.

And I found this site which gives more sacred geometry quotes:  https://geometry.wholesomebalance.com/Sacred_Geometry_Quotes.html, if you want to read more…

Nature’s sacred geometry may be gleaned from patterns of growths and shapes of everything on earth. Here is a short video that gives us the math and geometry of nature- “Nature by Numbers”:

Sacred Geometry and the Heart

I did a deeper dive into Sacred Geometry after I attended a highly inspiring workshop-lecture given by Frank Chester ( https://frankchester.com/).

He talked about the heart and the 7-sided figure that he discovered (heptahedron which he calls the chestahedron) and which relates to the shape and function of the heart, the earth, the sensing abilities of animals and many more. Such figure may be transformed so that a quantum cleansing of water may be achieved (not by mere filtration but through subtle energy process of transubstantiation), through the chestahedron vortex generator. Some sites to visit on this subject are:

“The Fifth Chamber of the Heart” is an intriguing article which says that the heart is developing a new capacity… and that is to sense the etheric realm… Frank Chester expounded on this here   https://frankchester.com/2010/new-view-summer-2010-article/ .

If you wish to read my notes from that lecture, click here.  I also prepared a powerpoint on the subject for the MISSION group who at that time will host him in Cebu, and for my classes (click here).

Another person who is much into the heart and sacred geometry is Gregg Braden.  Watch for example the video about the heart, its resonance with world processes, and the Field: Ancient Understanding of the Heart Field Gregg Braden - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HvdfFW-yYGE#

A friendof mine (Jean D) reacted to this video this way: It just resonates so loudly in me inasmuch as presently I’ve been reading and practicing what Dr. Alex Loyd called as “The Healing Code.” I just bought his book and what he says jibes with the role of quantum energy in the field of medicine. Solomon, the wise man from the Old Testament said in Proverbs 4:23 – “Guard your heart above all else, for out of it are the issues of life” and Prof. William Tiller of Stanford University said “future medicine will be based on controlling energy in the body.” The Healing Code as a means of healing what ails us is a healing of the heart issues, first and foremost before physical healing takes place. Braden is right and proven too by this Healing Code that “when the heart and the head conflict, the winner is the heart.”

Then I found this quote from the site of Jeff Andrews: ”The study of geometry, which descends to us from Pythagoras, is a meditation on the harmony of the cosmic order, and it is a meditation upon music. If you meditate upon geometry instead of just learning it in a linear way, you can actually hear the music of the spheres, because the geometric forms will key the eye and the ear to the inner sound. Every line that you draw,…you have the carryover from the spiritual octaves to the physical …. So geometry, and mathematics and calculus, make the transition from the concrete to the non-concrete. It is one of the highest studies that anyone can pursue. In fact, whenever I study these fields I am so impressed by the scientific information that comes tumbling down from the higher octaves. And at one point as I was meditating on these areas, there was so much information coming, that I determined to direct my attention away from it because I realized that the world was not ready for that teaching; there was far too much power in the understanding of the universe. And there it is, very plainly and very simply there, for anyone who can make the attunement. ” If you want to see  beautiful photos of sacred geometry in nature and beyond, visit his site-

Here is an article on the heart’s own brain and consciousness for more thoughts on the intelligence and power of the heart.

https://wakeup-world.com/2012/02/29/hearts-have-their-own-brain-and-consciousness/

Back to Quantum Agriculture … here we know culture, nature and deep science are intertwined. The heart’s sacred geometry is in every aspect of nature and the cosmos. The heart is where true transformation begins: The Heart of the Revolution is the Revolution of the Heart. If this is true then we can approach agriculture through the heart, which is also more intelligent than the head brain. From the heart we can intuit various ways to help agriculture and heal the earth. Many approaches to do these and that are “quantum” have already been found, and many are already practiced since the beginning of time.

One must delve into the discussion of the reality beyond our 5 senses or ordinary reality- of the four ethers, for example. There are some materials in the internet that offer an elaboration of the four ethers. One is a site on Phenomenology of Tom Van Gelder  https://www.dynamisch.nu/feno/english/e1intro.html. Get started on the discussion on ethers from the site mentioned, but remember that the topic may take sometime to make full sense, esp for one who is new in the subject of subtle energy or spiritual science (e.g., Anthroposophy):

The Four Ethers

Whereas you can perceive the elements as external phenomena, you can’t perceive the ethers directly. You can, however, perceive their effects through the elements. The elements are found on earth; they are bound to it and attracted to it. This is most clearly the case for the solid element, least so for the warmth element.

The opposite is true for the ethers. They arise from the environment and their effect runs counter to that of the earth’s gravitation. They work from the cosmos, and attract earthly matter. An example of such an ether working from the cosmos is light. You can observe the force of light when a seed germinates into a plant, which starts to grow and elongate upwards, breaks through the asphalt surface and grows towards the light. The plant grows away from the earth and towards the light, that is, towards the cosmos. Light gives the plant power to overcome gravity. The etheric force overcomes the weight of material substance.

There are four types of ether: warmth ether, light ether, chemical or tone ether and life ether:

• Warmth ether is the etheric side of warmth: the inner, impulse-creating warmth or the warmth of enthusiasm that occurs as the intention that underlies actions. Its elemental counterpart is fire, or externally perceivable warmth. Warmth ether and warmth as an element are closely related.
• Light ether illuminates everything and makes all material things visible. It is also the force which makes plants grow upwards and makes people stand and walk upright. Light ether corresponds to the air element.
• Chemical or tone ether is the force that structures the development of phenomena and can be seen, for instance, in the natural succession of plant communities. Chemical ether corresponds to the water element.
• Life ether is the force that makes an object and its environment appear as a unified whole. It is the force that unifies an object’s course of life. Life ether corresponds to the earth element.

A Waldorf education mentor and friend, Horst Hellmann shared his article/notes- “Imaginative Thinking and the Four Ethers” (may read here). It is very insightful and calls for transformed educational approach and content such that students are made aware of the “forces” beyond the physical, and experience awe and wonder and reverence and gratitude toward nature. We need start this early or students become too calcified and earth-bound, and disregard the greater truth of things, nature and of humans. Then they also become incapacitated to harness their own imagination and creativity, which are necessary to meet current challenges in society and the world. The 4 ethers, when internalized, could lead us to greater understanding of why certain seemingly unscientific or superstitious practice do work. That includes plants responding to sound and movement.

Students’ Exploration on “Quantum Agriculture” on Radio, and my Exploration on “Pseudoscience”

Let me share with you what transpired here at UPLB last March 21, 2012. Development Communication students set up a panel discussion in their radio program “Do you AGRI?”.  The panelists were myself (considered agriculture scientist and promoting Quantum Agriculture), a Physics professor, and two undergraduate students pursuing fields in Agribiotech and Applied Physics. The proceedings may be  read here.

or heard here    (contracted version, in mixed language).

Students are asking … what is this “Quantum Agriculture” organism that people in campus are talking about? Some gladly receive it, while others seem perplexed, if not disturbed, and a number say that it is “PseudoScience” or not True Science (“suds” or science ?). It is indeed healthy to be skeptical because this attitude can be the beginning of deepening of one’s truth. I tend to be one, too, but can’t resist my inclination toward indigenous practices and knowledge systems. I am always intrigued with the science of “unexplained”, “amazing” or “out-of-the-box” practices and phenomena, especially in agriculture. Only later did I realize that these concepts and practices are labeled “pseudoscience” by some sectors or individuals. I feel confident, however, that the scientific explanations will continue to be revealed. Indeed, science is discovering new things that bring many of those in the list of pseudoscience their due “true science” status. In fact, many practices or concepts have already been taken off the list of Pseudoscience as scientific knowledge grew, and as scientists came to accept them. Thus, what would be more productive now is not to argue who or what is right but to try to understand that there is a more expanded definition of science, that science evolves and has a half-life, that it is not neutral, and that knowledge may be obtained through other processes.
