Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge
Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge | Jeremy Narby
7 posts | 14 read | 4 to read
For ten years, Jeremy Narby explored the Amazonian rain forests, the libraries of Europe, and some of the world's most arcane scientific journals, following strange clues, unsuppressible intuitions, and extraordinary coincidences. He collected evidence and researched the seemingly impossible possibility that specific knowledge might somehow be transferred through DNA, the genetic information at the heart of every cell of every living thing, to a specially prepared consciousness. Narby demonstrates that indigenous and ancient peoples have known for millennia - and have even drawn - the double helix structure, something Western science discovered only in 1953. He also suggests that DNA and the life it codes for at the cellular level are "minded."

Interesting! This author attempts to link the hallucinations of indigenous Amazonian shamans to DNA.

I don't have a scientific background big enough to validate these hypothesis against, but I thought it was an interesting read nonetheless. Made me think.

I'd wanted to read this when it first came out but never got around to it. And I'm glad I waited, because it clarified my thinking about aspects of my own writing that needed some clarity. But beyond that I found it a fascinating examination of mythological imagery, shamanism, hallucinogenic substances, and DNA.

Listening to the Narby, wishing I could read The Miranda at the same time. Wouldn't that be great? I would totes read several books at the same time if I could.

Jabberwocky This is my dream. Or to be able to read and sleep at the same time LOL 😴 7y
