Summary
This issue details an experiment to demonstrate 'fine forces' in plant growth, inspired by Goethe and Steiner. It proposes using plant nutrients and water, with varying dilutions, to stimulate seed germination and growth. The experiment suggests that a diluted nutrient solution, prepared through a specific process, can be more effectively utilized by the 'ethereal plant' than concentrated, gravity-bound nutrients. This leads to faster, more vigorous growth in the treated seeds compared to those watered with plain water. The article posits that these 'fine forces' are subtle but powerful, capable of influencing the physical-material world and contributing to human freedom.
Magazine Overview
This document, identified as BREVCIRKELN, SERIE A, BREV NR 14, is a Swedish-language publication focusing on an experiment related to plant growth and subtle energies, referred to as 'fine forces'. The content is primarily an article detailing this experiment, with a brief mention of the authors/contributors at the end.
The Experiment: Plantan och "De Fina" Krafterna (The Plant and "The Fine" Forces)
The article begins by addressing the common misconception that fineness in a substance equates to weakness or powerlessness. The author proposes an experiment using plant seedlings to provide a tangible physical demonstration of these subtle 'fine forces' and their ability to influence the physical realm. The inspiration for this experiment is attributed to the writings of Goethe and Steiner, who are recognized for their contributions to human development.
Experimental Setup and Procedure
To conduct the experiment, the author advises obtaining high-quality plant nutrients and selecting suitable seeds. Two identical pots are to be filled with ordinary garden soil. In Pot No. 1, five seeds are planted, and the soil is treated according to the plant nutrient manufacturer's instructions. In Pot No. 2, five seeds are planted just below the soil surface, and no plant nutrient is added.
The core of the experiment lies in the preparation of a diluted nutrient solution. One tablespoon of plant nutrient is thoroughly shaken with 2.5 deciliters of water. The heavier, denser ingredients are allowed to settle at the bottom. Subsequently, 9/10 of this liquid is discarded. This process is repeated, each time refilling the remaining 1/10 with water to 2.5 deciliters, creating progressively diluted solutions labeled 1x, 2x, 4x, and finally 5x nutrient strength. The 5x diluted solution is designated for fertilizing the seeds in Pot No. 2.
It is noted that if all potentials were used, the initial 1 tablespoon of nutrient would yield a total of 10,000 x 2.5 deciliter (5x) diluted solution.
The seeds in Pot No. 2 are to be regularly watered with the 5x nutrient solution, while the seeds in Pot No. 1 are watered with plain water. Both pots should be placed near each other, receiving equal amounts of sunlight.
Expected Results and Interpretation
The author anticipates a noticeable difference in growth. The seeds in Pot No. 2, treated with the diluted nutrient solution, are expected to germinate first, grow faster, and produce more vigorous, juicy, and wonderfully fragrant plants.
The article explains that this experiment is a scientific comparison. The 'fine forces' are described as subtle energies that are more readily influenced by 'levitation,' a force that lifts sap and mineral substances from the earth. Concentrated, gravity-bound nutrients, as supplied by manufacturers, are less accessible to these forces. When the 'ethereal plant' (an invisible counterpart or blueprint of the physical plant) receives nourishment from these levitation-bound, functional substances, the physical plant manifests enhanced vitality, well-being, and perfection.
The author emphasizes that the fundamental question is about density. A delicate organism like a plant cannot easily absorb dense and heavy nutrients, unlike humans with their complex metabolism.
Broader Implications
The article concludes by stating that researchers in this field will find the spiritual force demonstrated by these experiments to be convincing and highly applicable. The potential applications are vast, contributing to the liberation of humanity. The article is attributed to T. James and BSRA.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring theme is the existence and influence of subtle, non-physical forces ('fine forces', 'spiritual forces', 'levitation') on the material world, specifically in the context of plant growth. The editorial stance is one of advocating for the exploration and application of these forces, suggesting they hold significant potential for understanding and improving life, and ultimately contributing to human freedom. The publication appears to align with spiritual or esoteric scientific perspectives, drawing on figures like Goethe and Steiner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main idea of the experiment described?
The experiment aims to demonstrate the influence of 'fine forces' on plant growth, suggesting that a specially prepared, diluted nutrient solution can stimulate faster and more vigorous growth than regular water.
What is the role of Goethe and Steiner in this experiment?
Goethe and Steiner are mentioned as inspirations for the experiment, whose writings prompted the author to consider the possibilities of demonstrating these 'fine forces' through plant experiments.
How is the plant nutrient solution prepared?
A tablespoon of plant nutrient is mixed with 2.5 deciliters of water. The heavier ingredients sink, and 9/10 of the liquid is removed. This process is repeated with increasing water dilutions (1x, 2x, 4x, 5x) to create a 'levitation-bound' solution.
What is the significance of 'fine forces' in this context?
'Fine forces' are described as subtle, spiritual forces that influence the physical-material world. In this experiment, they are believed to be transmitted through the diluted nutrient solution to the 'ethereal plant,' which then influences the physical plant's growth.
