Put your hand on them, full palm, stay with it for a minute. Feel the bark, connect with the root system mentally. Ask it questions make conversation. "Can I see your past?" It may show you.
It may also wrap you in its leafy embrace and convince you that you are making sweet love as it slowly devours you, so be careful
fall in love with a tree and one day you will know
So I need to fuck trees?
well maybe, not necessarily. have you ever cried over the death of one?
no lubricant in the world will protect flesh from bark

do not the tree
>cringe Pedophiliac mindset:
if you plant a seed and raise it as your own, then you will learn how to love a plant in the way you love a pet and this learn to communicate with it in a similar fashion
>unless you're a petfucker, seriously
A little bit of acid, little bit of shrooms, did that tree just talk or was it you?
Silence the mind, lean against tree and the mind's eye will show you things.
Meditate or expand your mind while sitting under or being in contact with a tree. They are conduits of energy in a similar manner to man.
sounds like you want to listen to the trees, not talk to them.
I talk for the trees and they’re moaning
still sounds like you're listening to them
And they’re in ecstasy
I’m a long distance runner and the best places to run are the forests. I’ve always been able to communicate with the trees and they can be quite… talkative. They don’t speak English tho
if the trees could talk, they'd paint a picture for you.
>learn to talk to trees
>they only speak Spanish
Great.
"Puta!" Said the tree.
The Ritual of Bloodsap. A dangerous thing. You make a tacit incision on your skin and apply it to an incision on the tree. If the sap is poison you might die. Works better with shrooms and an electrode though if you know how to manipulate quartz. The forest becomes your eyeball. This pales in comparison to "Full Sight" techniques, however it is easier to perform.

You need to tap into the mycelium network.
Do you have any fungus growing on or in you?
You could try to get ringworm.
you can talk to trees. i talked to one once but i forgot what it told me
im sure this USSS nagger can help you get ringworm
Oh this is also an amazing feeling, 100% recommend.
I too recommend contracting ringworms and ticks to get close to nature.
Worms suck, as do ticks. It is good to get over excessive fear of ticks though.
doxycycline is my best friend after i got 20+ deer ticks last summer. farm work in massachusetts will do that
hello hobbit
my feet aren't that hairy
use the global language of massage
massage the plant in a spiral, it will like it, be gentle, then the surrounding plants notice and you can feel the activity increase, chattering.
or if you find a tree trapped in those dumb plastic tubes that don't get removed all the time you can really feel the relief
I like this question. Certainly, you want to be compassionate the the invisible as well as the visible, the subtle as well as the gross, the seen as well as the unseen, the near as well as the far.
You should refine and purify your regard for all life.

From buddhist monastic law (or, so I've read/heard):
The damaging of a living plant is to be confessed.
“A certain Āḷavī bhikkhu was chopping down a tree. The devatā living in the tree said to the bhikkhu, ‘Venerable sir, do not chop down my home to build a home for yourself.’ The bhikkhu, disregarding her, kept right on chopping and injured the arm of the devatā’s child. The devatā thought: ‘What if I were to kill this bhikkhu right here?’ Then another thought occurred to her: ‘But no, that wouldn’t be proper…. What if I were to tell the Blessed One of what has happened?’ So she went to the Blessed One and… told him of what had happened.
“‘Very good, devatā, very good. It’s very good that you didn’t kill the bhikkhu. If you had killed him today, you would have produced much demerit for yourself. Now go, devatā. Over there is a vacant tree. Go into it.’ (The Commentary adds here that the tree, being in Jeta’s Grove, was a definite move up for the devatā. She had a front-row seat for overhearing the Buddha’s teachings well into the night; unlike other lesser devas she wasn’t pushed out to the far reaches of the galaxy when large groups of major devas met with the Buddha; and when the Four Great Kings came to attend to the Buddha, they always made a point of visiting her before leaving. However:)
“People criticized and complained and spread it about, ‘How can these Sakyan-son monks cut down trees and have them cut down? They are mistreating one-facultied life.’”

Trees are our kin. Our neurotransmitter systems evolved in part through reciprocal relations with plants. They have very explicit ways of communicating, you just have to spend time with them and pay attention.
what do the trees say nigga
why don't you tell us all, tree-man
They don't speak english lol
It's something like

You are confusing the sounds of the wind with pulsing of the waves.
A bit of sevin dust solves the problem. I'm not afraid of any of them. I was just commenting on the comment you made to the other poster who suggested contracting ringworms.
As I said here
Trees are mean. Maybe I was just in a very pissed off forest or something. Everyone else seems to have a different reflection.
Trees aren't mean lol
They might smack the shit out of you if you fuck with their forest, but if you are respectful so are they.
Tell me more of the trees, tree-man
do any of the particularly aged trees have any wisdom to impart
Nah namefag is more a tree man. I stopped talking to them after that experience. Now I just try to be respectful and not bother them too much.
>Trees are our kin. Our neurotransmitter systems evolved in part through reciprocal relations with plants. They have very explicit ways of communicating, you just have to spend time with them and pay attention
true they are our brothers, the leaves and branches could even resemble that of a human neural net.
>clonal tree is a bad example for the brain thing but it is an ancient brother, the trembling giant pando is wise and fun to hange with it also enjoys baseball (watching it)
Just put your palms on it, look up, and breathe through it like mushrooms breathe through your walls.
Talk with it. Smoke some weed.
Trees are incredibly lovely and wise. I love trees so so much. In fact, I often talk to the tree I live under before I go to bed.
Meditating under a tree is also pretty useful, if you hadn't guessed!
I used to talk to the trees.
Let me tell you. They are not very friendly, to mobile life. Most of them are incredibly angry especially to humans, but they dislike squirrels, birds, and movement. Even trees that I had fond memories of climbing and pondering the orb in, were extremely hostile to human activity. It was rather eye opening to learn that trees wanted me dead.
Sit by them, expect nothing. But recognize their presence their life. Recognize them recognizing you.
I'm kind of sad, actually. I had this wonderful cheery tree sapling that I got several years ago from the nursery, and planted it in a pot for a couple years. The first year it (she) was quite happy, and flourished. But then the next year, she looked kind a sad and wimpy, and I knew that something was up by the language she communicated to me through her leaves and growth. And no matter how much I watered her, her leaves remained droopy. And I knew it was because the potted soil was becoming barren, and so I needed a way to keep her in the pot one more year before I finally transplanted her into the earth where she belonged, and so I planted a handful of Hairy Vetch (a truly superior Nitrogen fixing legume plant) all over the pot, as well as a few beans, and let them grow, and the next year, she was still a little sad, but there was an absolute marked improvement from the year prior, as I noticed her leaves growing more and looking more lush, not nearly as droopy. It still wasn't ideal, but the additional plants certainly helped out so much.
And then finally, last year, during her winter dormancy, I finally did what I should have a year prior and transplanted her into the earth, and ensured I gave her nice bedding and a rich soil to provide her with enough nutrients to adjust. As of this year, she is doing super well, and looks quite happy, and I am so happy for her too.
But...I miss her. Because I actually had to move out of my parents house (where she is located), due to job circumstances, and so I cannot be by her while she grows, and check on her every evening as I used to do. I actually seriously miss her.
If there was any tree I would like to actually speak to, it would be her...
I took care of her, I listened to her, I tried to do what's best for her. And then I had to leave her.
it's actually the same for a few cacti and a brush that I adopted from certain death as well.
Fuck, man. I love plants so much it's unreal.
>she
bruh, cherry trees are all hermaphrodites
Shut up! I know that...
I just feel she has a feminine spirit about her. Maybe I'm just projecting, but I like thinking of it as her.
She's actually not a natural cherry tree. She's a grafted type so that she is self-pollinating. Needs no partner tree.
Trees move slowly, they are dreaming.
The older and broader a tree the more potent its magic ability will be, thats why you should be very respectful and give offerings.
Lucid dream, approach a tree. I recommend oaks. Merge your astral body into the tree and align your assemblage point to it. If you are lucky it will show you some stuff, although if it hates you it might try to eat you instead. I found an oak tree stump in an ancient greco roman area of the world and when I merged with it it reversed time and showed me its memories of a story that occurred in the area thousands and thousands of years ago. It showed me how to reverse the assemblage point of the world in order to reconstruct and reverse the decay of material objects through time. I saw a story about a man who sat on his stone throne in a courtyard and spoke with spirits, but to others in the family he seemed like a mad man. Then I saw a faun type entity, a young man with spiral horns from the sides of his head. The voice of the dream told me that this man was a reptilian hybrid.
You don’t talk to them. You listen.
First learn to understand before trying to be understood.
Just as you have a third eye you must learn to use your inner voice and the ears of your heart. Feel their thoughts and you will understand their words
>You don’t talk to them. You listen.
Well I guess that's what I actually meant by talking. 90% listening, 10% asking questions. I truly want to learn their language. I want to hear them more than anything. I just want to listen to them talk, converse amongst each other, and only interject if I must.
Don't feel bad. The word usage talk actually means more communicate which implies both sending and receiving. I assume the poster just wanted to be anal to make the point of the listening and isn't actually just a daft cunt.
I don't feel bad. Just clarifying my own position here.
I knew, back in 2019, when I first planted pumpkins as my very first plant (still my absolute favorite plant to grow, actually, I ADORE them so much), that I could sense a spiritual connection between my human soul, and the growth of plants, having their own soul, albeit different, yet similar. And so I really started to delve in the world of plants, and I really tried to communicate with them, speaking softly to them, giving them words of affirmation and love and care, making sure they were happy as best as I could, and it naturally branched out to other plants as well.
And especially in the case of my cherry tree, I felt such a true connection to it. But I could only ever talk to it, but never hear it. I could understand it somewhat by her visual cues of language, but I could never actually hear her living soul.
And that's what I'm so interested in learning in the /x/ tier side of things. The actual listening of their souls, not just the visual cues. I love plants so much. Unfortunately, my job involves the sea, which is a whole other mistress unto herself, and so I must split my time necessarily. But I wish to get back in tune with the plants like I used to. Even when walking, or wherever I go, I always stop to look at, appreciate, and ponder a nice plant growing anywhere.
I just wish I knew their language.
It's a brainwave thing. Plants are psychic. They also respond to vibrations like music. Although the type of music might not be as important as the presence of it.
Yes. Absolutely. I used to post frequently on LULZhgm and LULZplant, and while there's a lot of room for debate (as there often is in any niche), what was universally agreed upon was the quality of soil itself being in direct concurrence to the health of the plant itself. There literally cannot be healthy plants without healthy soil. It's just not possible.
And the way to make healthy soil is to allow it to become its own microbiome, and not constantly interfering with it through chemicals, through disturbance, through interference.
Unless it's a truly invasive weed species choking out everything else, the BEST thing you can possibly do for your plants, is to simply allow other plants to grow, and to keep letting them grow. Introduce worms if you have to. Lay compost on the surface. And soon, a microbiome will form and you will have LIVING soil. Not BARREN soil.
You want soil that is FULL of worms, full of bugs, full of fungi, full of ROOTS. That is healthy soil. That creates healthy plants.
I mean, ok, it's not in every single use case, as there are niche plants too, like certain cacti that need sandy soil with minimal shit, but for the most part, this is the way.
Worms might actually be detrimental in some parts of N. America
solid post tho
Now hol' up. What kinda worms are you talking about? Because I'm talking about WORMS, not caterpillars. People always get the two confused. Redworms and European nightcrawlers are only a net benefit to soil health. They are constant composters which take dead, rotting material and shit out plant superfood, due to the specific bacteria that exists within their own digestive system. And additionally, they naturally prune the dead or rotting portions of plant roots that are no longer functional or useful to the plant itself, and keep the plant going that way, recycling their dead parts into living soil the plant can actually use to grow more and healthier roots, and healthier parts above ground too.
It's a widely held fact that the presence of worms in the soil is a sign of fertile soil. Means there's plenty of dead shit around for the worms to transform into living shit.

Okay, awesome, thanks for showing off your basic bitch garden knowledge, now let me repeat:
Earthworms are not native to most of North America and may be ecologically detrimental in some circumstances:
See Jochum et al 2022,
“Aboveground impacts of a belowground invader: how invasive earthworms alter aboveground arthropod communities in a northern North American forest”
or Scientific American 2013, Becky Oskin “Invasive Earthworms Harm Forests Near the Great Lakes”
>After these mixers come in, there’s a loss in plant species.
Soil ecology is extremely complex. Earthworms reduce available leaf-litter habitat for native insects that need those niches, often these are very thin margins for survivability. They also alter the subsoil-surface nutrient cycle in ways that can be detrimental.
Worms are great in soil that’s already been damaged and needs to be restored, but in intact ecosystems they’re a net harm when non-native.
>Worms are great in soil that’s already been damaged and needs to be restored, but in intact ecosystems they’re a net harm when non-native.
Yeah, well...that's kind of a non-sequitor to my entire post. I didn't say anything at all about disturbing fully functioning native ecosystems. I was explicitly and completely talking about building your own ecosystem, for your own benefit. I'm not retarded, why would you introduce something that doesn't need to be introduced into place that has no need of it?
I am well aware of how complex and delicate soil ecosystems are. And I'm in whole agreement that there's no need to touch something that has found its equilibrium naturally. But when starting from shitty soil (particularly of your own little niche), then yes, worms are absolute GODS in terms of restoring that soil, in addition to fungi, and the constant presences of plants and their roots, which excrete certain hormones and other chemicals which stimulate the the soil itself, making it an all around more attractive and lucrative place for soil-building organisms to flourish. Bacteria/microorganisms, Fungi, Worms, and Insects. All attracted to the presence of life, in the form of plants, who in turn nourish them so the plant(s) can flourish more.
I'm not completely knowledgeable on the subject, but I'm not wholly ignorant either. You just kind of jumped to an assumption on my part due to a lack of communication.
Learn to read ogam and shut the fuck up like the trees do.
What is ogam? Also are there actually any texts or recommended readings on this subject? Would appreciate that.
