>I, for one, knew that trees and plants were conscious (from both personal experience and books)

Please elaborate this. What are your personal experiences regarding this...

Sure, though it's hard to find words. Something most people can relate to is the feeling of being watched. I think this is a type of ESP. Sometimes you might feel you're being watched from a specific direction, and turn your head and you do indeed find someone there looking at you. So, without going into too much detail, I'll just say that I've had a similar feeling around trees.

As for books, I highly recommend "A Language Older Than Words" by Derrick Jensen.

Why did the parent post get flagged? I thought it was creative. Now I want to read it again!
