 I did not say plants think as humans, although you should be surprised by their intelligence and pre-emotional reactions if you read "The Secret Life of Plants" or a similar book. 
 
 I said that Nature, through them, makes choices, hence they make the vegetable equivalent to human judgement. 

Cass: How can you compare apples and oranges???
 
 I didn't think this common sense theosophical idea would be so difficult to understand!
Cass:  Perhaps it is you who does not understand?>

 
 "Choices", "judgments" or their equivalents,  are present also in the mineral and chemical world,  through the process of affinities and non-affinities. 
 
 Everything is alive and conscious, in the Universe,  although not necessarily self-conscious.   
 
 Not only stones and plants  but also Dhyan Chohans or Planetary spirits, for instance, are not "self-conscious". Raja Yogis aren't, either, when they  get to a meditative state. 
 
 Can we have some rest now?   Carlos.
Cass: Please explain what you mean by Dhyan Chohans or Planetary spirits, are not self-conscious?   Then maybe we can have some rest.
