This book is sensational, now I realize why my own plants were growing so well this time around. That is because I nurtured them and held high hopes for them, this time around. My neighbor actually challenged me this year, she said, “your tomatoes are never going to grow from seeds” but I guess my constant care for them, unbelievably made them grow and I am still getting tomatoes from my garden, even in this time of the year. This is how I connected with Gerald Solfvins theory and what he was trying to prove in his trails. I was very much pleased, with what he was trying to prove. Our hoping for the best actually affects the healing of other things or beings. (Paraphrased pp.183) In my case, my neighbor’s challenge made me think positively towards my tomatoes, thus transmitting positive energy around them, leading to the tomatoes springing from the seeds.

Needless to say: like Dr. Grad, I needed to divide the tomatoes into two section and should’ve had my neighbor hold half of the seed in her hand and then me holding half of the seeds in my hand. Then I should have given my pot some positive energy and seen the outcome...may be, I need a Psychic healer or a double blind trial in this experiment as well.

Ah… I think, I’ll save this experiment for next spring!

Cannot wait to see what will happen…or maybe… I have the green finger?

On a more serious note, I was quite impressed with the human study carried out by Dr. Byrd. Even though it was a prayer study, it reminded me of the study done on Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. The study concluded that music therapy can be an alternative to treat mentally or physically challenged patients. It also showed how music could possibly stimulate work efficacy. (Murtfeldt) I feel that over all a positive approach to life is need in order for us as humans to feel content.

In another aspect, I was now able to understand Dr. Hal’s zero point Field.

This book ended very nicely! Finally, the confusions that it caused at the beginning became clear, as I finished reading.
