From: Kayla Block Area: Magical Plants To: All 23 Jun 94 17:25:10 Subject: of the jungle UpdReq We are ...of the jungle P.O. Box 1801 Sebastopol, CA 95473 This catalog lists some of our favourite beneficial plants and botanical products from our personal botanical collection. We are not a big business, simply a devoted family team of plant lovers and researchers dedicated to preservation and propagation. Bringing these things together has been part of many years travel along rain- forest paths and garden paths, down archive corridors and nueral corridors. As always, the plants remain the real teachers. They are heuristic by nature, enabling seekers of truth to find their own answers. Growing a plant can be a profound spiritual exchange. There is a complete encyclopedia of teachings being shown to us in the life-form symptoms we call a species. An increasingly compelling sense of significance is growing around tropical plantlife as the wildly accelerating pace of rainforest devastation at the hand of puny humans continues. The extinction spectre seems to be stimulating a calling-out by the more sentinent plant species toward influence in the lives of humans. It is this spirit we serve this collection to you. Listen well for such callings, time is short. The song of the jungle is sometimes a scream... This catalog represents part of our commitment to Direct Action in these urgent times. Those who have been involved with us over the years will know of the fruitful botanical projects sponsered by ...of the jungle.
