Ancient plants hold valuable knowledge about the diseases and extinctions of our planet that is relevant to our times. Unfortunately, the current condition of our globe appears dire, and it seems that the Earth is trying to convey a message to us: “Stop!” The Earth is not just an inanimate object; it’s a living organism, a unified entity, whose components are interdependent. It has evolved over billions of years, starting with mineral consciousness, progressing to plant life, animal consciousness, and ultimately reaching human-level consciousness. As humans, we are an integral part of the Earth, but we have lost sight of this fact.

Ancient plants can provide insight into the stages of Earth’s evolution and the evolution of Gaia’s consciousness. Their own evolution reveals what was gained in each stage and where the evolutionary process stalled, leading to disease of the earth: an extinction event. As we stand on the verge of another extinction event, we cannot afford to wait for millions of years for recovery. Therefore, it is crucial to listen to those that have survived and overcome previous extinctions, as they hold valuable knowledge that could guide us towards a sustainable future – They are the Ancient Plants.
