MOTHER TREE

MOTHER TREE
An alive and aware natural world is and has been an ancestral truth amongst the world’s indigenous knowledge systems for centuries.
In its necessity for a structured, empirical approach to describing Nature, it is understandable that science has dismissed ideas like plants whispering to each other, animals grieving for their dead, or the illusion of separateness as merely quaint fables, metaphors rather than reality.
However, recent studies and theoretical models suggest such dismissal might be unjustified and, quite frankly, unscientific.
Ideas such as human-like consciousness in animals, extended awareness and communication in plants, or the emotional toll of death on other non-human species are now being given serious scientific thought.
Thankfully, the only thing ultimately stronger than human arrogance is human curiosity.

The Science of Indigenous Wisdom

Here is a list of scientific breakthroughs which demonstrate the profound substance of indigenous wisdom, which understands Nature to be more alive and interdependent than science has given it credit for.
  1. In a very formal affair, scientists recently convened to declare that both animal and human consciousness are alike.
  2. Apparently, a grieving process is not unique to humans either. Death ritualshave been observed in species ranging from dolphins, to elephants, to scrub jays, and more.
  3. In this informative video, an ecologist provides thoughtful insight into the amazing way in which trees communicate in a deeply interconnected system, which sustains each individual tree and the forest as a whole.
  4. Researchers in Australia have found a way to document a fascinating communication system between plants, one in which the human ear can actually hear the conversation underground.
  5. Perhaps the most universal indigenous perspective is the idea of a world inextricably interconnected, on all levels, and across time. Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson speaks from a scientific viewpoint as he offers very similar sentiments
