In other words, there is a direct relationship between the material world and our conscious perception of it. Rationalist, empirical science, which measures quantity with no method of quantifying 'quality' creates a paradigm which, without doubt, cannot find any 'scientific evidence' for moon gardening. I think however, that if we were to enter into the newer, 'quantum paradigm' we might find some interesting relationships between man and matter...we know that happy chickens lay tastier eggs, so perhaps the relationship between a gardener and his garden yields different results if he invests a more holistic intention into his activities?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266632225977223490noreply@blogger.com
