The ancient Doctrine of Signatures proposed that one could get information from a plant just by observing its shape, color and appearance. The comic force that shaped the earth, the plants and ourselves can be seen through careful observation of the behavior of the various chemical elements, the behaviors of liquids, gases, solids and all other physical phenomena. An enlightened eye can observe the forces of nature at work in a plant just by learning to really see. Cultivation of the ability to observe cosmic forces at play in plants and all matter is the stepping stone to higher levels of clairvoyance and visual perception.
