This common phrase has profound meaning when we observe that certain herbs will grow where they are most needed. This is something known by the wise but detested by the totalitarians.
I've been thinking about not even having to eat plants to be healed by them, just being close to them, and the communication that goes on under ground with roots and fungi. I think that because we are under the illusion that we’re separate from each other and everything else in nature and are so unaware of the constant communication that’s going on between us, that when we see illness, really a collection of detoxification symptoms such as coughing and sneezing, ‘pass’ between people we cling to the belief that there must be an external nefarious entity, a ‘virus’, which somehow travels through the air and causes it. We find it hard to accept our interconnectedness and ability to communicate and help each other by signalling the need to expel toxins and to rest.
I further was thinking on this article and felt I should mention the attention to critters in nature also as our allies. I had a particular instance where I had a nagging pain in my thumb joint especially bad that week. I was out in the garden pruning a bush when out of seemingly nowhere something- flew out and stung me right on that knuckle. Fast and quick- and flew off very fast. I couldn't precisely ID it but I had been stung by bees and wasps before. Seemed like a bee of sorts. This seemed like it had an agenda. Maybe I disturbed it'? Later i saw no evidence of a "hive .there ...but then later I was reading of the benefits of bee venom on pain. I also later was listening to a summit on shamanism and bee shamanism was discussed! That was all within a couple days- a pre arranged summit) Today, I feel the bee was "injecting" me with it's medicine. Dreaming? It seemed very synchronously meaningful to me..
hello I love this. I have tried to explain something like it https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/a-healthy-future-does-not-lie-with here'Now that we are adults the responsibility for caring for our health belongs to us, and to us alone. We defer and outsource to others to our detriment. Only we can possibly know what are bodies and souls are saying to us. Given access to regeneratively grown organic fruit and veg, and to clean water, what we need from a healthcare system is to be left alone. We already have all the tools that we need to be able to live in our true state of vibrancy; which is our birthright.'
and also about our interconnectedness and non-seperateness from the conversion all around us here https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/a-tiny-water-flea-has-31000-genes 'The inseparable collective of organisms known as human has great flexibility of gene expression. If we cultivate healthy internal relationships by eating organic fibre rich plant foods and avoiding toxins we become more adaptive, vibrant and creative. This expression will naturally be communicated and will affect all those living around us. We are in no way separate or opposed to the Mother Ship. We are her and she us.'
OMG. Hello and thank you Frances! Finally, people from my planet! No one understands my garden - where all plant people live exactly as THEY want to grow. Human people friends (phriends? now that I realize they prefer pharma to me) shake their heads at my lack of "weeding". Thank God I've never weeded my real friends, my plantain, dock, borage, willow herb, forget-me-nots, my fireweed and foxgloves. Guarded by an old ash and loving wild cottonwoods and salmon berries. These same false human pfriends called me day or night for decades for my herbs and help before their cell phones seemed to make dialing my landline impossible and god's medicine just "quaint". My sister in law is proud of her beautiful rose garden, but none of them SMELL! She never noticed. My volunteer roses send their love from metres away. Always in my wallet a teabag label, " The difference between a flower and a weed is a judgement".
I heard that a solar flare is hitting earth today..... apparently it may affect the electric grid. Mind you, I can't seem to raise a hair of fear on that account. Do you think we are fear porned out?
Thanks for the heads up Will B. I didn't see the Good Citizen referencing my work! I am delighted! Thanks, also for introducing Emanuel Prez. He seems to be VERY unusual so I subscribed.
Also: if you have any interest, check out his assessment of the assassination. I think he is living & teaching in Japan. He gives a few minute exhortation in fluent Japanese with English captions. The essay stands by itself; I was looking around and could not find anyone else so clearly stating the obvious weird reactions. Smells like Sushi.
It’s finite. ‘Have no fear.’ (My impression is that with Cynthia Chung’s encouragement, he’s joined Substack, leaving a small trail of videos on ? an alternative platform, snd is pushing out 1.5 years worth of scripts in 1.5 days _ or he doesn’t eat, sleep or use the wc…) What the heck, a fresh voice, calling out for us all to detox the f…ing parasites.
I love this post! It brought tears to my eyes as I felt such confirmation in my own inklings of "nature knowing what we need " and delivering it to us...when reading your message contained in this. Wonderful reading in its entirety. Thank you!🙏
"This produced one of my most favourite funny memories: After seeing some of the mites that live on our skin, at bedtime my naked husband was vacuuming our mattress. A sight that I will never forget! The poor guy was so freaked out!" ... I find it most curious that the inspiration for this article originated from comments to a substack about bee mites!
Yaaaaaay my people are HERE. One of my homebrews (Batch 83) is a digestive 'wine' of juniper, wormwood, caraway and mugwort. Its really good, straight up or as a mixer with potato vodka for instance. The recipe is from 'Brew Like a Yeti' by Zimmerman, and my main go to is Steven Buhners 'Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers'. Brewing has reconnected me to the trees in plants in a way that was missing for me. I also made a St. Johnswort brew with Irish Moss and it's so good I am not sure it will make it into bottles, I keep tappin the keg. Best from Oregon Frances-j
Tappin the keg, made me laugh! I made an elderberry wine one year which was so potent that I could not get down from the loft-room where I stored them - each time I had to decant to fresh demijohns I was getting sloshed from the syphoning tube!
When it was ready I did not bottle it, we had a party straight from the demijohns...... well, I vaguely remember we did.... lol
Oh Elderberry, I have yet to make that and probably missed the flowering already. I might be able to put up another St Johns brew (it turns so red!! in a simple tea, a miracle) as this year everything is so late here in Oregon, it rained and hailed and was coldish until July I swear...Now I gotta find a way to test for nano particulates, hmmmmm as I am sure they are getting everywhere. Oh, what have they done....my hate for some grows with my love for the others...in proportion. Tryin to feed the good wolf as the saying goes...
I have a passion fruit vine and a grape vine growing in a pot, due to this same phenom....oh, the plants are using us to good advantange, our friends....our elders.!!!
Hmmmm....it was funny for me, I knew the plants of Michigan to a cursory level, and them moved to Oregon. Some similar plants, but a very different land. Much more sand, warmer and more volcanic. Like songs, I think we can really only learn plants one at a time. There are many, but the ones in your yard are the best start. Send me a pic or a description of just one or two, it'll be fun. best j

I think that our ancestors, pre-Roman Empire, knew this to be reality.
yes

Welcome to the sweet herb gardeners corner! Good to have you here xx
Dr Grouf on substack uses herbal remedies for COVID . We do need to find our way back to nature ❤️
Thanks for the heads up Andrea! xx

I'll have to ask my astrologer friend Dubby about what's going on in the sky today... I just wrote a post about ... GUESS?!?!?!
LOVE, of course. xo xo xo
I heard that a solar flare is hitting earth today..... apparently it may affect the electric grid. Mind you, I can't seem to raise a hair of fear on that account. Do you think we are fear porned out?
LOL I'd say that's a definite possibility! But, what's that BEHIND YOU!?!?!?!???!!?!??!?!?!?!
The Good Citizen’s Substack today, July 19 2022, has published “Where’s The Virus?” today and refrenced your work: https://thegoodcitizen.substack.com/p/wheres-the-virus
But you probably already sussed that. Would also like to share someone who Cynthia Chung had as a guest post on Abe’s assassination. The post on Abe was most informative. He must have just opened a Substack, and this is one of many received in the last 24 hours, topic 5G and slavery: https://emanuelprez.substack.com/p/join-the-battle-to-end-slavery-by?amp%3Butm_campaign=cta&utm_source=substack
Thanks for the heads up Will B. I didn't see the Good Citizen referencing my work! I am delighted! Thanks, also for introducing Emanuel Prez. He seems to be VERY unusual so I subscribed.

The essay stands by itself; I was looking around and could not find anyone else so clearly stating the obvious weird reactions. Smells like Sushi.
That was the first thing I read because Abe's assassination really did stink like sushi!
He’s self-appointed interim President of the Provisional USA government. And I am delighted, considering alternatives! xx
XXe
Eek! he is peppering my inbox with posts.... I have lost count!
Reminds of your fun post Sunday, 17 July, as a quite serious awakening person left (?) a hundred or so links…
It’s finite. ‘Have no fear.’ (My impression is that with Cynthia Chung’s encouragement, he’s joined Substack, leaving a small trail of videos on ? an alternative platform, snd is pushing out 1.5 years worth of scripts in 1.5 days _ or he doesn’t eat, sleep or use the wc…) What the heck, a fresh voice, calling out for us all to detox the f…ing parasites.

Life-long trek back to grandma’s knee. Lovely.

Oh, what have they done....my hate for some grows with my love for the others...in proportion. Tryin to feed the good wolf as the saying goes...
I used the berries and discarded the fruit pulp and seeds into a flower bed. It grew into a lovely tree! I was delighted!
I have a passion fruit vine and a grape vine growing in a pot, due to this same phenom....oh, the plants are using us to good advantange, our friends....our elders.!!!
I want to learn these things!!!!!!!!!
I must find a way to study the plants.
I have a couple of books, which I've never even looked at... Time to get on that.
Hmmmm....it was funny for me, I knew the plants of Michigan to a cursory level, and them moved to Oregon. Some similar plants, but a very different land. Much more sand, warmer and more volcanic.

omg... yesterday i had a headache and noticed a feverfew blooming out of season in my garden 🌼🐱🌼
It certainly does! How wonderful is that!
a pleasant read, thanks!
