The Birds & Bees

Dear Flower or Bee,

The whole supposed "law of attraction" thing… what’s really going on there? We’ve all worked with this "law" with varied success, right? We try to somehow get this right to attract more of what we want in our life, such as a life partner or better finances. For most - in at least some areas of their lives - it remains a bit hit and miss and this is a puzzle. Does it work or not, is it something real? If so how does it work?

I’ve been musing about this to myself recently, relative to my own life as well as the experiences I’m aware of in other’s lives. And as often happens when I’m pondering a topic, information will start to come in from the inner and outer worlds to inform my ponder.

That happened around this topic recently, in the form of a VCool instagram video that a friend sent my way.

It shows Carl Sagan sitting next to a flower that has electrodes and a speaker attached to it. And WOAH-A, this is a game-changing little video regarding how love and all other attractions and repulsions actually work! I transcribed it for you so we can begin to ponder it together here.

In this video clip, Carl Sagan explains:

"Plants are rooted to the ground and have a small negative charge. The higher up the plant you go, the greater the electric charge. This creates an electric field around the flower, we can’t see it but these electrodes (on the flower he is pointing to) are picking up the energy of this tiny field and converting it into the sound that we can hear (he points to a speaker making a small constant tone.)

Bees on the other hand, have a positive charge, friction whilst flying causes them to loose electrons. As a bee approaches a flower, the charged fields around the flower and the bee interact and the sound changes… there. (we hear this happen as he puts his own hand near the flower) And when it lands, the positive and negative fields immediately cancel each other out.

As this happens, there are two very surprising consequences. Firstly, the plant’s negatively charged pollen actually jumps across onto the positively charged bee. Secondly, the plant has a changed electrical field. Now, when another bee comes along, it detects this altered electrical signature and avoids the flower. The plant is in effect telling the bee that it has no nectar and to come back later."

To me, this is excellent ponder fodder. It brings to mind many interesting questions and postulations - as soon as that starts to happen answers start come. If I had a place to post videos, I’d ramble on to you about what I’m getting about that now. But since I don’t really, let me just pose 5 questions/observations/postulations for your own pondering, since most of you enjoy that too.

The flower is grounded in the earth and this gives it positive charge. Do I need more earth/dirt time, to help maintain the right signature in my field for my mind and emotions etc etc to work their best?
The bee’s charge is changed when it sets out to find a flower… it’s changed by the action or friction of flying. Does this mean that we must take actions in various ways to attune to what we seek? Is this one of the roles of intention? And is right physical action also one of the things needed when seeking something?
Friction reduces the bee's charge. What does this mean for me? What kind of friction diminishes me, and what kind aids my signature for various things?
His own hand - as demonstrated in the video - alters the signature of the flower’s field. This is very interesting to ponder.
In relationship - if you want to find a significant other, for instance - this is all pretty interesting, isn’t it? It’s clear from this little video that the bee and the flower have a synchronized field interaction that works in a natural way to signal come-hither. Or not. So what’s your field synchronized with? It’s good to look at your history to answer this. What are you come-hithering? There’s much to understand here about the relationships you are bringing for your own experience/learning/upgrading?

There’s more to see and ponder here, but one thing is now scientifically clear, whether you are a bee or a flowe,r you are continually creating and emitting a fluctuating electromagnetic field of attraction and repulsion. We’ve known for a while now we attract and repel things to our life, right? But now we have a little better understanding of what’s actually going on there and how it works. I love that. Here’s the video link, if you’d like to see it yourself.

Happy pondering!
