"...he had happened to recline into the more or less shoulder high fork of a shrub like tree, and in this position immediately felt himself so agreeably supported and so amply reposed, that he remained as he was, without reading, completely received into nature, in an almost unconscious contemplation. Little by little his attention awoke to a feeling he had never known: it was as though almost imperceptible vibrations were passing into him from the interior of the tree.... It seemed to him that he had never been filled with more gentle motions, his body was somehow being treated like a soul, and enabled him to receives degree of influence which, given the normal apparentness of one's physical conditions, really could not have been felt at all... Nevertheless, concerned as he always was to account to himself for precisely the most delicate impressions, he insistently asked himself what was happening to him then, and almost at once found an expression that satisfied him, saying to himself, that he had got to the other side of nature."
This is virtually identical with my first experience of plant initiation in 1999.
