Here's a tangent I'd like to share: the "old wive's tale" that milk curdles during a thunderstorm is a true fact. I have left a cup of fresh (cows'
) milk outside during a substantial thunderstorm and it completely solidified into a single, tender curd. The milk had not turned the slightest bit sour (as some have hypothesized to be behind this phenomenon) for upon tasting, the curd tasted exactly like the milk did before.
I would hypothesize that the electrical fields from the thunderstorm cause the protein molecules to align and coagulate in a single piece. This implies to me that living organisms will be able to use this polarity inherent in very many proteins to respond to natural electrical fields in various specific ways.
Enhanced plant growth might also be related, of course, to the nitrates that are produced by lightning. Perhaps the electrical response of proteins also allows plants to anticipate and optimize their response to the influx of nutrients. The nitric acid content of thunder rain will cause mobilization of certain nutrients as well, although we shouldn't discount the simple fact that thunderstorms are frequently accompanied by large amounts of rainwater!
“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
