At the beginning of 1990 another interesting event happened. It was not of similar
magnitude as the above, but, nevertheless, it had quite a significant importance.
Everything began from a simple leaf. Yes, from a simple leaf of a tropical plant.
Someone gave it to me and told me to put it into water until the leaf grew roots, and after
that to plant it into a pot with soil. I thought, why not and.., put it put into a glass of
water.

An idea flashed through my mind. What will happen if I influence and increase the
biological efficiency factor (BEF) of the plant from 10%, which all angiosperm plants
have, up to 30%, which no plant on Earth has? By that time I already had a pretty
complete understanding of the nature of evolution and the processes which take place in

living matter. Therefore I embarked upon this experiment pretty resolutely.

I influenced the leaf and began to observe, what would come out of this. The leaf
took root pretty quickly in the water, they were very luxuriant, and I planted it in a pot
with soil and continued to observe the development of events. Pretty soon one more leaf
appeared then another one and another one. The leaves of the plant were succulent and
had a dark-emerald color; the undersides were covered in whitish “fur”. In May the plant
bloomed.

I had no idea what or how things should happen with this plant. I thought to consult

a botanical reference book and find out everything I could; but, as it turned out, the
“book” came to me. More precisely a woman-botanist came to visit me.

Regrettably, I do not remember her name, but she did me a very important favour.
Being a PhD, she, on seeing the flowering plant, gave me its Latin name, which, again,
I do not remember, and exclaimed in surprise: “What a miracle ... you have it blooming,

but it usually blooms only once in five years and not then always! When I told her that
just three months ago this plant was a leaf, she refused to believe it. However I had
chronologically dated photos—first the leaf in the glass with water without roots, then

the leaf with roots, later the leaf in the pot, the plant with fleshy leaves and finally the
blooming plant.

She could see the blooming plant with her own eyes. I explained to her, what had
happened, but I was not sure that she believed me. But it was not important for me,
whether this woman-botanist believed me or not. Above all, I knew that it was true; I
needed no proof that three months ago it was only a leaf. In fact, it was me who put this
leaf in the water. The information which this woman-botanist shared with me was very
important. Because it confirmed the success of my experiment, which was even greater
than I expected. After my influence the leaf had completed its growth cycle of five years
in three months!

It was simply outstanding. Such a result, a practical result, together with other
practical results showed me that I had succeeded in finding an extraordinary “gold vein”
of understanding of the laws of nature, both living and lifeless, and I could not only
understand these laws but also find methods of application of this understanding in
practice! And it was simply staggering! I felt in-comparable joy every time, when I
succeeded in fulfilling that which I had planned.
