The Value of Weeds

I sent this to the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board today.
Hello,
I read the article by Betty Kuchynski, "When planting veggies, don't forget the herbs," in the Thursday, June 24, issue of the Spokesman Review. Before those of you, who are in positions to make and carry out decisions which impact the environment and people's lives, get too excited about destroying "noxious weeds" in the name of biodiversity, ecological balance, and the protection of the region's agricultural economy, you might want to be aware of the overall consequences of the decisions you might make or actions you might advocate.
Here is an excerpt from the book, Shamanic Secrets for Material Mastery, Chapter 9, which warns of the consequences to a society of excessive pesticide use in an attempt to destroy plants called weeds which are determined to be of no value.
THE VALUE OF WEEDS
In the case of plant species, especially species you cannot live without (most of which are classified as weeds at this time), as "weed killers" become more "efficient," some of these so-called weeds will have a hard time sticking around. These plants that grow voluntarily contain within them the makings for almost every vaccine you would ever need for resolving diseases that are rampant amongst you, such as cancer or muscular dystrophy, cancer being more rampant. Perhaps we should use some other extreme example. How about flu? People get flu all the time.
But there are also plants for which your culture has not figured out any reasonable use, such as dandelions (though some people have begun to figure out their value). These plants exist for future epidemics or future potential problems, not the least of which is the depletion of the ozone in your atmosphere, which will gradually over a period of time cause more and more leakages of potentially lethal toxic rays coming in and touching your civilization. So it would be useful, would it not, while there are tears in the ozone layer, to have an inoculation or a cream--not synthesized from the original herb, but made of the original herb itself--that would cure skin cancer, for example.
UNPROCESSED AND UNSYNTHESIZED HERBS
Why do I say not synthesized? When a chemist, with the best of intentions, synthesizes a formula extracted from something else, say, herbs or plants, the formula might have at least temporary beneficial effects, but it will not have the life energy. Now, there's a lot of looking askance in the scientific community at the energy of life associated with herbal products. But I can assure you, even though herbal products might not be as fast in relieving symptoms, as long as they've been processed consciously by reaonably conscious people and run through machines as little as possible, there will be a recollection of the life force, meaning the will to live, the desire to live. Whereas something synthesized probably will not have that because it is so far afield from being what it was, or else its life force is so much different than anything associated with a human being that its life force might be detrimental to you.
What we need, then, is to nurture plants that might otherwise die out. For a long time many of your people in the scientific community have noticed and have been talking about plants that are dying out, especially in the rain forest. this is, of course, catastrophic, so please gather seeds. I know there are a lot of you seed-gatherers out there working quietly. Thank you very much for your work; it's important. At some point in time, if the plants do not feel safe to regenerate where they originally grew, it might be possible to find at least a semitropical zone and welcome them to grow there. The welcoming is very important.

Thank you for taking the time to read (and hopefully give some thought to) this excerpt.

That sounds like an interesting book! Have you read it through?
Do you think they WANT healing plants and herbs around? Ha! Knowing the difference between healing and poisonous plants, mushrooms, and whatnot is definitely good information to possess.

I am in the process of reading this book, which introduces the reader to the techniques of benevolent magic, and can be reviewed and purchased at the Sedona Journal Web site:

Shamanic Secrets for Material Mastery through Robert Shapiro
Author: Robert Shapiro
I have read most of Robert Shapiro's books and highly recommend them to those who have an interest in this type of material. They can be reviewed and purchased at:
http://www.sedonajournal.com/bookstore/dsp_search.cfm?subId=&authId=10079&key words=Enter+Keywords
Book 12 also discusses benevolent magic and the techniques for creating safety--an important subject during these times--or any time:
Book 12-Techniques for Creating Safety through Robert Shapiro

Here are examples of three prayers which a person wishing to practice benevolent magic might say one time at some point during the day: they do not need to be repeated over and over to be effective. In fact, they are more effective when stated once during a day with intention and conviction.
"I am asking that the hearts of all beings come to love peace, cherish it and involve themselves in its creation."
"I am asking that my human abilities be expanded to provide lovingly and benevolently in greater ways for the good of all beings."
"I am asking that the hearts of all my brothers and sisters--those I know and those I haven't met yet--feel warmth and love for each other in greater and greater amounts when we are asleep, when we are awake and when we breathe."

I knew a guy back in the 60's, that used to live just on weeds, roots, bark,and wild plants that grew around North New Jersey. He would powder and freeze the extra, and use during the winter. Of course, a favorite was dandelion.
Here's a local guy that gives in the field classes. I've heard him on the radio several times, and we are planning an outing with him this summer:

How beautiful! That was worthy of quoting alone!
Thanks for the book info Ellyn.
