Patrick MacManaway: 0:00

So that's what I was doing was I was I was having a good hard think. However, what's clear from what happened then is that plant understood me. Even though it was an internal thought, they telepathically received the message. Secondly, they understood it and had capacity to change themselves. And thirdly, they changed themselves at my request for our convenience to support the people living in that landscape. And those three things put together, frankly, first few times it happened to me, it was so mind-blowing I really pretty much went to bed for three days until the world reorganized itself.
