Fechner on a Summer day
Fechner’s plato.stanford.edu/entries/fechner personal, intuitive feel for the plant-soul is abundantly evident throughout his writing. One finds passionate and poetic words, such as the following:
I stood one on a hot summer’s day before a pool and contemplated a water-lily which had spread its leaves evenly over the water and with an open blossom was basking in the sunlight. . . . It seemed to me that nature surely would not have built a creature so beautiful, and so carefully designed for such conditions, merely to be an object of idle observation. . . . I was inclined rather to think that nature had built it thus in order that all the pleasure which can be derived from bathing at once a sunlight and in water might be enjoyed by one creature in the fullest measure. ~ Page 147
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
. . . When a Buddhist becomes enlightened, he or she remains in this world. The image of a beautiful lotus blossom floating atop of grimy, mucky pond conveys symbolically the Buddhist perception of life in this world. ~ Page 91 Excerpt: “When Religion Becomes Evil” ~ Author” Charles Kimball
