Podcast appearances and mentions of Jeremy Narby

These days, scientists are starting to talk like shamans and shamans are starting to talk like scientists. So says anthropologist and author Jeremy Narby. And, he says, we need to talk about talking – because words matter. In this episode, Bioneers Senior Producer J.P. Harpignies speaks with Narby about how the very language and words we use reveal the topography and limits of our worldview, including Western culture's adamant centuries-long but now increasingly discredited assumption that intelligence is restricted only to human beings.

Da encarnação do mal nas mitologias judaico-cristãs à ideia de sabedoria e regeneração presente nas cosmogonias mesoamericanas, hindus, africanas e nórdicas, passando por suas representações nas culturas aborígenes e asiáticas, o artista Ernesto Neto desconstrói e redimensiona o mito da serpente em instalações monumentais para a loja de departamentos Le Bon Marché. "Filho de Lygia Clark" e "neto de Brancusi", o brasileiro traz pimentas, perfumes e cantos de inspiração indígena para o coração de Paris. Em sua 10ª exposição, Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, uma das mais tradicionais lojas de departamentos de Paris, homenageia o artista brasileiro Ernesto Neto, que criou instalações monumentais especialmente para a mostra Le La Serpent, ou O A Serpente. Conhecido internacionalmente por suas obras biomórficas, ele realiza uma digressão poética sobre um dos mitos fundadores da humanidade na cultura ocidental, enaltecendo o papel da Serpente, entrelaçada às figuras de Eva e Adão."Eu não vejo isso como uma história da Bíblia. Vejo como uma história do Ocidente", argumenta Ernesto Neto. "Esse mito original, o mito da Gênesis, que vem da Torá e que faz parte da Bíblia, tem uma leitura que me tocou muito. Foi há uns dez anos, quando eu tive uma revelação: se a serpente não tivesse falado com Eva, levando aquela conversa 'de mulher para mulher', oferecendo a ideia de Eva compartilhar a fruta divina com Adão, eles estariam até hoje no Paraíso", sublinha o artista brasileiro, que será um dos destaques do ano do Brasil na França, em 2025 ."Não seria lindo? Adãozinho e Evinha lá, curtindo a vida no Paraíso... E nós, onde estaríamos? Não estaríamos aqui. Não existiria eu, você, a Rádio France, Le Bon Marché, o Museu de Arte, a alegria, a tristeza, nem a guerra. Não haveria sofrimento, mas a vida é isso tudo", provoca Neto. O artista subverte a visão ocidental que lê a serpente como um elemento maléfico. "Eu não acredito na ideia de queda do Paraíso. Isso, para mim, é uma invenção, um equívoco. A única coisa realmente importante nesse mito, na minha visão, é que a serpente é a nossa mãe, o nosso pai. Assim como em várias histórias ancestrais ao redor do mundo", diz o artista, que encomendou uma pesquisa a seu amigo e antigo colaborador Pedro Luz sobre como o animal mítico é visto em diferentes culturas, como na Ásia, África, Oceania, Polinésia, América do Sul, Central e do Norte."Em todos esses lugares, a serpente é uma figura positiva, associada à criação, à vida. No catálogo da exposição, incluímos textos do Joseph Campbell, um dos maiores estudiosos das mitologias, que traz conexões entre essas culturas", aponta Neto. "Ele fala da ideia de que a vida é feita de vida, que tudo que comemos está vivo, criando um ciclo de retroalimentação. A morte é necessária e parte da vida", afirma.Muito além do bem e do malRealizadas nos ateliês do artista, as obras se distanciam da interpretação do pecado original, que considera o animal como diabólico. Le La Serpent é uma alegoria do vivo que não separa a natureza da cultura, ou o homem do animal. Ernesto Neto propõe uma imersão sensorial e multicultural, desafiando crenças e narrativas presentes em várias mitologias mundiais."Eu sempre tento trazer uma continuidade entre o nosso corpo e o corpo da Terra", diz o artista, cuja obra ecoa preocupações iminentes ligadas às mudanças climaticas e ao Meio Ambiente. "Quando vemos a Terra como paisagem, colocamos ela fora de nós. Nós nos tornamos observadores. A ciência faz isso. Mas, quando falamos que a Terra é o corpo, começamos a perceber que somos parte do corpo da Terra, assim como a Terra é parte de nós. Não estamos separados dela. Estamos todos conectados", insiste.Crochê, DNA e especiarias: o tempero brasileiro de Ernesto Neto"Trabalhamos com crochê, utilizando algodão como material base. A serpente, por exemplo, possui elementos simbólicos muito fortes. As cores da obra foram obtidas através de tingimentos naturais, como chá preto para o tom bege, e Jatobá e casca de cebola para o marrom", explica o artista. "Esses métodos nos conectam à energia da Terra, oferecendo uma experiência sensorial mais rica em comparação aos tingimentos sintéticos. A ideia foi também trazer à tona uma representação de Adão e Eva com tonalidades mais escuras, refletindo as origens africanas desses personagens", afirma Neto."Outros materiais, como tampinhas de refrigerantes, são inseridos como símbolos de transformação e renovação, muito presentes em culturas indígenas, como os Ashaninka [povo indígena da Amazônia peruana]. Além disso, elas fazem parte da proposta de integrar arte e sustentabilidade, trazendo à tona a ideia de que tudo pode ser reimaginado e reintegrado ao ciclo da natureza", detalha."A serpente é um símbolo poderoso que atravessa várias culturas, e estudei muito a fundo sua presença tanto no xamanismo quanto em mitologias ancestrais. Um antropólogo chamado Jeremy Narby, por exemplo, explorou a conexão entre as serpentes e o DNA, mostrando como elas representam a espiral da vida e a conexão entre o mundo superior e inferior", aponta Neto.Brasil "colônia""Eu venho de um país colonizado", diz. "O Brasil ainda carrega as marcas da colonização de forma muito sutil, mas presente. A estrutura econômica continua sendo voltada para a exportação de recursos naturais como petróleo, soja e minério, de maneira muito similar ao que acontecia com o açúcar, ouro e café no passado. Apesar de estarmos no século 21, seguimos com um modelo econômico que favorece a exploração em vez de investir em áreas como educação e cultura", contesta o artista. Perguntado sobre que obra traria para o Grand Palais, em Paris, para o ano do Brasil na França em 2025, o artista antecipa algumas pistas sobre o trabalho escolhido. "O Barco Tambor Terra é uma escultura que fizemos no ano passado, apresentada no Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia em Lisboa. A ideia é que o barco, simbolizando a jornada, navegue de volta para o Brasil, carregando a energia do tambor, que representa a força vital da Terra. Este projeto é uma celebração dos tambores de diversas partes do mundo — Ásia, África, Europa e América. Estamos trabalhando com muito carinho para que ele chegue aqui, apesar dos desafios de atravessar o mar", afirma Neto."A proposta é refletir sobre a conexão do ser humano com a Terra e uns com os outros. O tambor, uma mistura de tronco de árvore e pele de animal, simboliza a união entre o vegetal e o animal, e é uma maneira de nos sintonizarmos com a energia da Terra. A filosofia africana, que valoriza a união e a força coletiva, é uma inspiração importante aqui. A ideia não é simplesmente onde estamos indo, mas como estamos juntos nessa jornada, tocando o tambor e nos conectando", conclui o artista.A exposição Le La Serpent fica em cartaz no Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche de 11 de janeiro até 23 de fevereiro de 2025.

A Marc-John Brown lo conocí en mi certificación como coach de integración de procesos psicodélicos, donde él dió una clase espectacular sobre chamanismo andino.   Marc es originario de Escocia pero desde muy joven sintió un llamado por Latinoamérica donde (como él dice) se encontró con su destino: el chamanismo andino y el amor de su vida.    En este episodio Marc nos cuenta los detalles de cómo sucedió todo esto y cómo fue su viaje por descubrir y dar su medicina al mundo; además nos comparte algunas claves que lo han llevado a tener éxito con su emprendimiento vinculado al chamanismo andino.

Part 2 of Episode 150! Yay!! And now for something completely different. This episode is a bit of a departure from our regular show. We invite Alex Criddle and Cody Noconi, researchers into the psychedelic origins of Mormonism, to respond to the recent debate on the Mormon Book Reviews channel between ourselves and Mormon apologist, Brian Hales. Brian attempts to provide the apologetic response to the theory that Joseph Smith utilized psychedelics (entheogens) in the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in order to facilitate visionary experiences for the early Saints. Disinformation requires much greater effort than simply stating information so we do our best to debunk his debunking (rebunk the theory?). This one is a long haul so we split it into 2 episodes to make it a little more digestible.   Show notes: Video version: https://youtu.be/3l0L1EHtQOo Support our research and outreach: https://www.patreon.com/SeerStonedProductions Original here: Psychedelics & Early Mormonism Theory Brian Hales Responds on Mormon Book Reviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE7J0y_cPpg   Further information: “The Higher Powers of Man” - Frederick M. Smith was a prophet of the RLDS Mormons and paternal grandson of the founder Joseph Smith. In 1918 Frederick published this Ph.D. dissertation breaking down altered states of consciousness from an early psychologist's perspective, specifically, religious states of ‘ecstacy' as he called it. A lengthy chapter devoted to peyote is particularly worth reading. “The Higher Powers: Fred M - Smith and the Peyote Ceremonies” - Shelby Barnes' 1995 paper highlighting the curious psychedelic interests of Frederick M. Smith. While Barnes does not make any direct connections to Joseph Smith and psychedelics, Barnes does note that Frederick's interests were an attempt to find the reliable keys to visionary revelation that his grandfather Joseph had demonstrated. “Restoration and the Sacred Mushroom”  - Dr. Robert Beckstead's seminal research paper presented at the August 2007 Sunstone Symposium. Beckstead's paper was the first to propose the possibility that Joseph Smith used psychedelics to facilitate visionary experiences. “A 1920's Harvard Psychedelic Circle with a Mormon Connection: Peyote Use amongst the Harvard Aesthetes” Alan Piper's 2016 paper highlighting Frederick M. Smith's interest in psychedelics, and how as a standing Mormon prophet Fred was funding a 1920s group of Harvard students with peyote. “Revelation Through Hallucination: A discourse on the Joseph Smith-entheogen theory” - Bryce Blankenagel and Cody Noconi's 2017 follow-up paper further explores the hypothesis originally put forward by Dr. Robert Beckstead a decade earlier. “The Entheogenic Origins of Mormonism: A Working Hypothesis” - Dr. Robert Beckstead, Bryce Blankenagel, Cody Noconi, and Michael Winkelman's paper published in the Journal of Psychedelic Studies in June 2019. This was the first paper on the subject published in an academic journal. “Visions, Mushrooms, Fungi, Cacti, and Toads: Joseph Smith's Reported Use of Entheogens” Brian Hales' 2020 response paper to the one published in the Journal of Psychedelic Studies. As a believing Mormon engaged in academic apologetics, Hales details what he perceives to be holes in the proposed hypothesis. “The Psychedelic History of Mormonism, Magic, and Drugs” - Cody Noconi's book published in 2021. “Psychedelics as a Means of Revelation in Early and Contemporary Mormonism (Part 1)” Alex Criddle's 2023 paper that was originally presented at the Forms of Psychedelic Life conference at UC Berkeley (April 14-15, 2023). “Psychedelics as a Means of Revelation in Early and Contemporary Mormonism (Part 2)” A continuation of Alex Criddle's 2023 paper. “A Real Spiritual High: In Defense of Psychedelic Mysticism” An enlightening philosophical essay from Alex Criddle.

Nance joins the podcast for a discussion of themes from the book, The Cosmic Serpent, by Jeremy Narby. The book explores links between DNA, ayahuasca, molecular biology and the question of the physical origin of consciousness. Nance and Beth vibe on the ways consciousness can be explained through biology as well as spirituality across many disciplines, and we hope you enjoy the intellectual and esoteric marriage of these seemingly disparate themes!Connect with us!Instagram: @surf_the_cosmosWeb: surfthecosmos.net

These days, scientists are starting to talk like shamans and shamans are starting to talk like scientists. So says anthropologist and author Jeremy Narby. And, he says, we need to talk about talking – because words matter. In this episode, Bioneers Senior Producer J.P. Harpignies speaks with Jeremy Narby about how the very language and words we use reveal the topography and limits of our worldview, including Western culture's adamant centuries-long but now increasingly discredited assumption that intelligence is restricted only to human beings.

Belinda Eriacho joins us today to explore the intersection of the psychedelic renaissance and ancestral wisdom; connecting with our own ancestry; and what indigenous people bring to the psychedelic renaissance and the problems created by their absence. We also talk about being in right relationship with sacred plants and where that does and doesn't not overlap with recreational use; how to cultivate reciprocity with indigenous peoples in psychedelic movements; the value and importance of supporting ethical psychedelic companies; and how legislating psychedelic medicine may help support the healing of intergenerational trauma held by indigenous people in North America.

EXTRACTION by Jeremy Narby, a Switzerland-based writer, activist, and anthropologist, is the second episode of the podcast series Seeing Into the Heart of Things; Earth and Equality Within Indigenous and Ancestral Knowledges.This collection of episodes emerged from the Master Symposium in fall 2021, at the Institute Art Gender Nature HGK FHNW in collaboration with CULTURESCAPES 2021 Amazonia.The contributions to the symposium were devoted to discussing Indigenous thought, decolonial feminisms, and the political possibilities of the mythic imagination, raising questions like: How do Indigenous cosmologies create forms for resistance? How does the Western imaginary of the Amazon, from its roots in racial capitalism to its corporate-tech, paternalistic present, cloud our understanding of how its peoples and nonhuman spirits narrate themselves?

Jeremy Narby (born 1959 in Montreal, Quebec) is Canadian anthropologist and author of numerous book. We speak about his latest publication: Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the Pursuit of Knowledge In his books, Narby examines shamanism, molecular biology, and shamans' knowledge of botanics and biology through the use of entheogens across many cultures. Narby grew up in Montreal, Quebec, and Switzerland. He studied history at the University of Kent at Canterbury. He has a PhD in anthropology from Stanford University and spent time in the Peruvian Amazon undertaking his PhD research starting in 1984. During those years living with the Ashaninca, Narby cateloguued indigenous uses of rainforest resources to help combat ecological destruction. Narby has written and edited five books, as well as sponsored an expedition to the rainforest for biologists and other scientists to examine indigenous knowledge systems and the utility of Ayahuasca in gaining knowledge. The resulting documentary film was Night of the Liana. Since 1989, Narby has been working as the Amazonian projects director for the Swiss Non-governmental organiation, Nouvelle Planète. Narby and three molecular biologists feature in the documentary Night of the Liana that documents them revising the Peruvian Amazon to test hypothesis presented in Intelligence in Nature.

Intimating the end, Castaneda decides it is time for him to anoint his successor, the next nagual. His selection is Tony Karam—a student not only of his but also the Dalia Lama. Castaneda informs Tony that has a year to decide whether or not to take the position of the nagual. After listening, be sure to check out:Episode Slide Show: bit.ly/3vA6Ge4One Extra Thing: bit.ly/3y3clv7Discussion Thread: bit.ly/3MY1cjdwww.tricksterpodcast.com Trickster: The Many Lives of Carlos Castaneda is a guppy production:Creator and Executive Producer: Frank HortonProducers: Ville Haimala, James Orestes, Yuval ShapiraCo-Producers: Kevin Barth, Steve Barilotti, Colin Stewart, Ybrahim Luna, Ana Djordjijevic, Dan Girmus, Celeste Cuevas, Collins Harris IV, Robert(a) Marshall, author of an upcoming biography of Carlos Castaneda, American Trickster, Katie Kidwell, Justin AierSenior Producer: Pablo VacaComposer: Ville HaimalaSound Designer and Mixer: Randy WardEditors: Frank Horton, with additional editing by Randy Ward, Paul Calo and Yuval Shapira We wish to acknowledge our debt of gratitude to the research of scholars, journalists and authors who have contributed tiles to the mosaic that is our project.

With the start of the ‘80s, Carlos Castaneda has now become the darling of the New Age movement.  But while New Agers are busy championing his past work, Castaneda has begun turning his sights to something new—a secretive project unlike anything he's done before. To secure the help needed, Castaneda opens up admission to his circle of followers.

On this episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast Dr. Hoye is joined by Dr. Jeremy Narby, PhD. Dr. Narby is a Canadian anthropologist and author. In his books, Narby examines shamanism and molecular biology, and shamans' knowledge of botanics and biology through the use of entheogens across many cultures. He grew up in Canada and Switzerland, studied history at the University of Kent at Canterbury, and received his doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University. He works as Amazonian projects director for the Swiss NGO Nouvelle Planète.He is the author of several books, including “The cosmic serpent: DNA and the origins of knowledge” (New York: Penguin/Tarcher, 1998).Dr. Narby discusses his book, Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the pursuit of Knowledge, which he coauthored with Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, an elder of the indigenous Shawi people of Peru. Dr. Narby goes into great detail about the cultural aspects of plant medicines in indigenous cultures. In particular, the South American, Shamanic uses of both tobacco and ayahuasca. Tobacco as it has been adulterer by European-based framing and industrial practices is nothing like the plant as used in South American, indigenous healing and spiritual practices. Overall, Dr. Narby advocates and hopes for a blending of Western approaches to science and medicine with that of the wisdom traditions of indigenous elders.Dr. Narby's website:https://greatmystery.org/jeremynarby/Plant Teachers Book at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Teachers-Ayahuasca-Tobacco-Knowledge/dp/1608687732The Psychology Talk Podcast is a unique conversation about psychology around the globe.

Jeremy Narby​ is a cultural treasure with decades long experience as an anthropologist with plant medicines in their traditional settings in South America. He's the author of several important books, including the iconic The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge. In this interview, Jeremy shares eye-opening, and highly relevant, knowledge on ayahuasca that even the experienced among us often don't know, like concerns about commonly-used admixtures: the importance for us Westerners of seeking out yellow (sky)) ayahuasca over black ayahuasca; the dangers of sorcery and of power corruption among ayahuasqueros, how the common DMT-heavy brews emphasize tripping over healing; the Banisteriopsis vine itself without a DMT-containing plant as the master teacher, and much more. The knowledge he shares on tobacco is almost more remarkable. This plant is badly misunderstood and misused, especially in the commercial tobacco industry. The Asháninka people of South America say tobacco is the number one plant teacher. It is used as a diagnostic tool and has multiple healing properties. The "real" tobaccos (up to 20 times more nicotine than industrial tobacco) are powerful and can be dangerous. This sacred medicine needs a proper hearing and Jeremy is perfectly positioned to help provide it. As always, these interviews (now nearly two dozen) with leading figures in psychedelics and consciousness transformation for a world in crisis are available in video form on the StephenGray Vision YouTube channel. Here's the direct link to the interview with Jeremy.

After studying with Humphry Osmond when he was 20 years old, Jeremy Narby became intrigued by the intersection of psychedelics, mental health, and philosophy. As a graduate student in anthropology at Stanford, he lived with the Ashaninka people of the Peruvian Amazon, which set him on an early path researching ayahuasca. In this episode of the Third Wave podcast, Jeremy talks with Paul F. Austin about the importance of language, how we can shift our worldviews, and powerful lessons from plant teachers.

Georgepmonty@gmail.comSpeaker 0 (0s): Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the TrueLife podcast. So happy you're here today. I've missed everybody. I've been down and out with COVID for those of you who've had it. I'm sure you're aware. It's definitely no picnic for me roughly about two weeks. It's still hurting a little bit, but trying to get out there and bring some entertainment to anybody had a couple of interesting days while out on COVID you guys ever noticed that when you get sick, sometimes you have some pretty brilliant insights. It seems to me that whenever you're faced with a health issue, you really begin to understand what it is that's important in life. You really get to make sense of the little things that you thought were important were really not that important when you're laying in bed and you feel like garbage. All of a sudden the person that was pissing you off kind of minor. I want to talk to you guys today. I'm really excited. I got my first new book, the debut it's coming out and I'm working on an idea for titles. Originally. I had the Terror before the sacred, and then it kind of morphed into the structure of experience. Those were the two going titles that I had had set up for him recently sent off the hard copy to my editors. I've heard back from one editor with really inspiring and really good notes. The guy was great. His name is Hugh Barker. If anyone gets a chance and you need an editor, I would highly recommend Hugh Barker. I went to Z, which is a site for authors that you can go and kind of piece out your, your work, whether you want it formatted or edited or pretty much the whole gambit you can find on that site. It's pretty good. I highly recommend it. Most of you are probably thinking, wow, George. So what's the book about buddy? Well, it's a great question. And thank you for asking it is a topic that is true and dear to my heart, especially in chaotic times, I think we're moving towards a new way in which the world sees itself. I think we're moving on to a new type of myth. I think back about some of the ancient Greek heroes, the Homeric verses Ulysses and the Lotus eaters, Achilles all these great mythological adventures that in ancient times, for ways for people to relate to the world, and then you can move into like king Arthur and the quest for the holy grail. You could even get into JRR Tolkien and just so many different myths that people throughout the world have sat around a campfire or sat around and told stories about the way in which life is in for so long. We have been operating under these myths that it seems as if we're just repeating or better yet. We're rhyming. The history that came before us, I think once in a thousand years, I'll say humanity comes upon a new way of living. Humanity finds a new myth to be born. And while it's not incredibly brand new, it has elements of the new brought together with some of the classic motifs that got the human spirit to evolve as far as it has. And let me try to paint you a picture of the foundational myth that I see emerging and let me know what you guys think. I see an evolution of religion. I see a unified understanding that we are one organism similar to the guy, a concept in that the earth is a mother and those in which grace, the earth are his children, but not exactly more of like, we're all part of this one giant organism. The earth grows people like an apple tree grows apples. You didn't come into this world. You came out of it. And when you look across the street, when you look at your neighbor, when you look at the car next to you, when you watch TV, but more importantly, when you see people in person, what you're seeing, wait, let me change that. What you recognize, that's a much better word. What you recognize in other people is that, which you recognize in yourself. Let me give you an example of what I mean do used to be this guy at my work. And I never got along with him. I didn't really understand why, but he just rubbed me the wrong way. You guys know anybody like that, maybe you got somebody at your work or somebody in your family or somebody at your kid's school, or maybe it's somebody at your school, but there's just something about this person. And they really bother you. And I couldn't put my finger on it. And for months, you know, I'm like, I just don't like this guy. I don't get it. He was a nice guy, but there was just something about him. I didn't like. And one day, one weekend I sat back and ate like seven grams of mushrooms and just trying to figure it, which is a pretty good dose to think about actually maybe a little high. But, and so I had written down everything that I wanted to think about. And as I was coming down from my trip, like, it just kind of hit me like a ton of bricks. You know what? I don't like that guy because he's weak. He's a coward, never stands up for himself. I hate that about that guy. And then, you know, it was like that same ton of bricks just hit me again. And it says, I'm a coward. I'm weak. I don't stand up for myself. And it made me think, you know, I don't know if, I don't know. I think somehow eating mushrooms is a way for you to communicate with the planet. And so I'll talk more about that in a minute, but it showed me that what you see in other people is what you see in yourself in what, if you see other people and you don't like something in them. If you can identify what it is you don't like about these other people, then chances are, you can identify what it is about yourself that you don't like. You see, it's real hard to look at yourself and say, I don't like this about me. I don't like that about me. It's really difficult to look in a mirror and say, you know what, George? I think you're a big baby sometimes. Or you know what, George, you don't ever stand up for yourself. It's hard to do that because it's difficult to see what's inside of you. And that's why we have relationships. And that's why when you see other people, they're showing you, they are a mirror to you. They are showing you what's inside. You does that make sense? Because you can't recognize something. You don't understand, but you can recognize what you do. You ever, you ever like seen somebody playing a game or maybe you play a sport. And they know you're watching someone play a sport and you see them say, say, they're a wrestler. I was arrested. So I'm watching this guy wrestle. And I see him set up with like a, like a left tap, left tap. And then you shoot like an ankle pick. I'm like, oh, I do that same set up. Sometimes I can recognize that move because I do that move. And then sometimes you watch people's stuff and you don't know what the hell they did because you don't recognize that move. It's the same thing with style as it is with attitude as it is with personality. And if you can learn that when something about somebody else bothers you, that's because something about them is showing you what you need to work on. And that it's true in the opposite sense. It's true in the sense that if you see something good or that you admire about people, that's something that you have inside you. And that that's the world telling you to work on that as well. Like, yeah, you can be that too. Do you admire that? That's inside you I've seen it. And so it's such a gift to be around people. It's such a gift to be upset, to be happy, but to be in relationship with people is where the true gift is. And not only just to be in relationship with them, but to understand why you feel the way you do about these people. Because it says a lot about who you are, it'll help you solve so many problems. And in a nutshell, that's, that's how I began thinking about the book that I'm beginning to write. Well, actually the book that I've wrote and is currently being edited. So you're probably thinking to yourself, wow. The CIT, the Terror before the sacred Terror, before the sacred eating mushrooms and learning about yourself by other people. All right, I'm listening, George, how do you get, how do you get Terror in there though? So how do you get to the terror, George? What is this Terror before the sacred that you speak of? Well, let me start off with a few sentences. Like this, something sacred has revealed itself. To me, something sacred shows itself, the sacred dance of wretched, hands, the Terror before the sacred, it's an offering of sacrifice at the threshold. Have you felt that before, have you ever been in a situation where you are incredibly terribly frightened of something so beautiful? There's no words for it. That's the Terror before the sacred. And it's been described before, it's been described in some ways by Thomas Aquinas, the nuke Stans, the abiding. Now it's this moment that feels like an eternity. I know it sounds contradictive, but for those of you who have felt it has been in the presence of it, it's a place that all of us strive to get back to it's this moment where you are one with God, whatever your definition of God is. And that is the Terror before the sacred. And it's that moment that I think can heal people. It's that terror. It's the feeling of Terror before the sacred, that puts everything into perspective. It's the feeling of Terror before the sacred that we've forgotten about. You see, we're not these mechanistic, cogs that live to be productive, to make money for corporations, that's soulless. And for years, way too many years, the last hundred years, last 200 years, we have been being pushed down this road of digital feudalism. I would say ever since Marshall McLuhan, we have been just harnessed and towed behind a jet plane into this world of mechanistic, fascism, where the theory of interchangeable parts has been applied to every man, woman, and child, and even much more today. If you look at the plans of the big tech technology corporations that want nothing more than to narrow you down into a bit, here's the piece of information. You're just a bit that we want to send over the internet. These guys are doomed to fail. And in many ways, I think that they're the sickest people among us. I would classify politicians, bankers, insurance reps, people who have been infected by the love of money. These are the people that are the sickest among us. These are the people that in a weird way, I think COVID is trying to get rid of if I can double back for a moment here on the topic of COVID, isn't it interesting the way in which the world finds a way to balance itself out? I think it's beautiful. A lot of times we ask ourselves, why, why is this happening to me? Or why does this always happen to me? But that's the wrong question, right? If you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer for all those of you who've ever asked yourself. That question. Let me tell you the answer to it. When you think little things are happening to you that are bad, when you say, oh man, it's so unfair. That always happens to me or gosh, this bullshit. I can't believe that happened. And again, you see, you just see in the very leading edge of change. And if something bad probably happens to you, it's just the world trying to find harmony. And a lot of times it seems that you get the short end of the stick. But again, you're just seeing the leading edge because you can't be in someone else's shoes. You can't thoroughly understand what's happening in other people's lives. And a lot of times a little sharp move to you, maybe a little prick, a little stab, a little move to the short side for you usually means that things are just shifting on a grander scale. So while you might feel a little bit of uncomfortableness in the beginning, what's probably happening is that you're being set up to change so that you can win later on. It's a great way to look at it. And it's something that's served me. Well, I think that's what's happening with COVID. Let me go ahead and try and square this here. It's been so top heavy, you know, for the last hundred years, CEO pay to employ pay has gone up like 500 fold people at the very top have done everything they can to, to ring out profits and productivity from the people on the bottom, whether it's an employee or whether it's a third world country, regardless of where these people are squeezing their profits from is irrelevant to them. All they see is a boardroom in numbers. They've completely stripped the humanity out of everything that they possibly can. And in doing so they've stripped the humanity out of themselves. Favor, wondered why? Like, look at Jeff Bezos. Like, why do you think he got divorced? Why do you think bill gates got divorced? Like, look at these people. These people are so disgusting. They have everything. They're like, they're like a pig in shit. Does that make sense? And they just love it. They're like, yeah, I love being a pig in shit. I'm a pig. And I love shit. They're so it's so sad to me. It's so sad to me that these guys are in their sixties, but they act like they're 16. Can you imagine that? Like, don't get me wrong. It's nice to be young. It's nice to have energy. But imagine waiting until you're in your sixties or your late fifties to act like you're 16, it's sad. Right? It's like, it makes me sad, but that's what, that's what the world is doing. The world is evening out. And what COVID is doing is at least from the point of view that I see is look, how many people are calling in sick leave or not showing up? Are people not showing up because they're sick or people not showing up because they're sick of working or people not showing up because they're sick of getting fucked over or people not showing up because they're sick of making a hundred times less than the guy at the top. That's shooting out pictures of him on his boat all day. I think it's the, I think it's option beat. I think that the people on the bottom are beginning to see how much power they have. And I think there's a higher force at play. I think about it like this, a lot of people are familiar with the eye of Providence or the all-seeing eye on in the United States. It's that I, the top the pyramid, right? And there's all kinds of mystery schools that talk about the pyramid and people want to be at the pinnacle. People want to be at the top of the pyramid, but how can there be a pinnacle? How could there be a top of the pyramid if there's no base to the pyramid, if you just kicked out one giant block of the bottom of the pyramid, that whole thing becomes really, really unstable. And what happens when you kick out another block? Well, I'll tell you what if you're the guy at the very top, when that pyramid comes fallen over that guy on the top is going to get flung the furthest, because when there's no base, when there's no foundation, there can be no pinnacle. In fact, the base is much more important than the pinnacle and everybody, the pinnacle thinks that they're important. They think they're the ones that made it, but they're just the last piece of stone to go on the top. That's all they are the people on the bottom, the man and woman that get up and go to work every day. Those are the heroes. And I think the world is balancing out. I think that if you live anywhere right now, you can see the turmoil. You can see the chaos, you can see the people on the bottom have had enough, and there's not much that people on the top can do all these ideas about them being powerful and intelligent and smart and capable. You know, the louder they run their mouth, the louder and more obvious. It becomes to everybody else that not only can they not do the things they said, but they never deserve to be in that position. Unless of course the idea of being in that position is to be punished. Right? I think about that. I know some people that have scratched their way to lower, lower level management. I know some people that have scratch their way to top level executives and they spend more time with people they don't want to be with than the people they actually do want to be with. I ask you, is that any kind of world you would want to live in? Would you want to be that person? I feel bad for him. And the reason I bring this up, I know I'm kind of going off today, right? I'm all over the board. George are all over the board, man. Bring it around pal. All right. All right, hold on. Here we go. So I think we're seeing all this as a giant explosion, as a giant course, correction and out of this giant explosion course, correction is this new idea, this new philosophy in this new, almost religious revival type, right? In fact, in my book, I call it the archaic revival. And it's this idea that we're all part of this giant organism. And you might be thinking, well, you know what, George, for part of the organism, I'm to be part of the brain. I don't want to be the big toe. You know what George, I want to be the mouth. I don't want to be the fingernail. Some of you are probably thinking, you know what? I want to be George. Yeah. I know what you want to be, but listen to it like this. All right. So let me tell you a quick story here. One day the hands started talking to the feet. The feet started talking to the mouth and they all gathered around the hand say, man, we do all the picking. We grab everything. We got to reach out for stuff. We do all the work over here. And then the feet said, yeah, you know what? We do all the walking. We've got to put the shoes on. You got to walk every day, get a bunch of calluses. And the mouth says, yeah, you know what? I do all the chewing. I gotta do all the talking. What's this lazy stomach do. Peter sits around and he gets everything. The hands grabs. And he gets everything from where the feet walk. And he gets everything that the mouth choose. And so the hands, the feet and the mouth decide to go on strike. So you know what we're not doing anymore. We're not going to do it. The foot, the stomach gets all the food. He does nothing. So we quit. And a little bit of time goes by a couple of days, go by. And all of a sudden, the feet, the mouth and the hands are God smacked because they're so weak. The feet can't walk. The hands can't grab in the mouth can talk. And then it hits them. The stomach. That's the one who feeds them. You see, they're all doing work to just transfer an energy around the hands. Grab. They use energy to grab things, put it in the mouth, the mouth choose. It uses energy. And that sustenance, that food goes into the stomach. And then the energy is released back to the hands, to the feet, to the mouth like that is us. We are a closed system and the feet are no less important than the mouth. The mouth no less important in the hands, eyes, the ears, we're all in this thing together. And that has to be reflected in the world in which we live. And that's where this idea comes in this new understanding of a single organism. It doesn't need to be a utopia. It doesn't need doesn't mean we can't judge other people on some levels. We should all be playing at the highest level possible for us to play at. We should be helping the people that need help learning how to play those positions. Because contrary to popular belief, you can't live forever and you shouldn't want to. That's why you have kids. But then again, look at all these people that have decided, you know what? I want to have kids. They got caught up in this idea of a mechanistic world instead of an organic world, right? Is it a mechanism or is it an organism? Well, the majority of all our friends in big tech will tell you that it is a mechanism, but that's not true. It is true that in order for them to make it a mechanism or see it as a mechanism, they got to take away humanity. They have to take away our ability to see each others as human beings. And that's why they want you in the metaverse. That's why they want you on your phone. That's why they want you on your YouTube channel. That's why they want you in the world of the mechanistic. That's why they're trying to take people out of nature, because there's a bond you have with nature. You can talk to the trees, you can talk to the insects. You can learn a lot by sitting in your garden and watching the way the wind blows through the trees. You can learn a lot by the way, the flowers bloom in the spring. Like why is it that that plant has to grow to three feet? And it always seems like the flowers turn out towards the sun. That's amazing. Right? Well, that's telling you how life grows. That's telling you how you grow the same example we used about seeing things and other people that you can learn from. You can see those same things in the plants around you. You can see those same things in the animals around you. And if you know what to listen for, if you know what to look for, you can talk to them. There's a great story about a, I think it was by Jeremy Narby and he was a, a, a botanist, but I forgot the name of that. What is that called of the people that go down and, and they searched the world for medicinal plants. It's a certain type of botanist. I think I'll remember in a minute. And so he'd went down, maybe he's an, he's an anthropologist with, with it a second major in botany, something like that, something like that. Let's just go with that for now. And he was down in south America and he was meeting with all these different tribes. And he had gone into the Amazon and up into Chile and he'd studied so much amazing things. And he was with a team of anthropologists and they decided to go way into the Amazon and this particular leg of the trip. And they, they went way deep in there. And they contracted this tribe that no one had made contact with for like 15 or 20 years or something. And they befriended the group of anthropologists. You know, they'd be friended this tribe. And this began speaking to the medicine man there. And he sat down with the five anthropologist and was speaking to them and it was getting late in the, the medicine man began telling the anthropologists, like, you know, we have a very different way of finding the medicinal plants and the conversation turned to well, how is it that you find these medicinal plants? Like, how do you know this particular plant cures, the venom of a certain type of snake and the guy laughed and he said, oh, well, cause the plants talk to us. The plants tell us what's what? And at that point in time, four of the anthropologists got up and turned in for the night. They found that that part of the conversation was going to lead nowhere and they decided to turn it very politely. They get up and they walk out and the other guys he's flabbergasted. And he's like, that is amazing. Can you show me how to do that? And the guy starts laughing and he's like, I'll tell you, but why did your four colleagues get up and walk away? When I say, I talked to the plants and he says, you know what? I can't answer for them. But they, they tend to be really these four guys I'm with, they seem to see things so literal and they seem to see things in a way that would be silly to them. But more than that, I think that they're afraid to tell the other people around them, that they talked to plants. The medicine man started laughing and he's like, well, how come you didn't get up? And the guy says, I talked to plants all the time. And in the medicine, man started laughing and he's like, you get it. You haven't lost your soul yet. You still understand. And he says, because of that, let me show you how I talk to plants. And so they get up and they walk out into the canopy a little bit and they come up on this little clearing and the moon's out so they can see everything. And he S he says, he talks about the snake. We'd had like a, he says, let me show you how I know this plant cures. The venom of, I think it was called like the white diamond snake or something. I could be butchering that. But for this particular example, would you say it was the white diamond snake? He says the white diamond snake has two white diamonds, right? On the opp on the opposing sides of his head, right back by the little holes where you would grab it, you know, about two inches behind the eyeball on each side, there's a little white diamond. And that's what the snake looks like. And the anthropologists like, okay. So how can you tell which plant cures, venom of that snake? And they walk up to this little plant that's on the base of a tree and the little ovate leaves are sticking out. And he goes, look at this plant right here. And sure enough, they look at the plant and that the leaf it's like, I think ovate is the right word. It's kind of like an oval. And it looks just like a snake's head. And on the back part of the leaves are two little white diamonds, just the spitting image of what the white diamond snake's head looks like. And he's like, look, there's the plant telling you, I am the white diamond headed snake head. I can cure you from its bite, my bite cures, the bite of the snake. And so, you know, such an elegant story. And it was so beautiful to me and the, the medicine man finishes up with like, that's how the plants talk to us. They're our friends. They're here to help us. And you know, if you thought about the initial statement of, oh yeah, the plants, talk to me, you could see why those guys got up and walked away because, you know, they don't want to be laughed at, they think it's stupid, but the truth is they're stupid. And you have to be willing to be laughed at. You have to be willing to take chances. Sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest of places. If you look at it, right? The idea I have about us being one organism, we forgotten how to talk to the plants. We forgotten how to see ourselves in nature. And the further we go down this road of technically, the further we get away from what it is we're supposed to be is far away. As mechanistic is from an as far away as an organism is from a mechanism. I think that they are in fact, somewhat connected. Have you ever heard people say on the poles, apart from that person or were the poles apart? Think about that? You know, it's, it's like the idea of a magnet. Like if you have a long, long magnet, you have a north pole and a south pole, but if you cut that magnet in the middle, you get a new south pole, the new north pole, you can't get away from opposites. You can't get away from the relationship. We must have a relationship between mechanism and organism, but it must be clear that we, as the organism use the mechanism, not the other way around the people that believe in this mechanistic idea are poles apart from those of us who believe that we're an organism and that's, what's balancing out, we've gone way too far in the mechanistic part. And we're rebalancing to the organism part poles apart. We're finding a middle ground. Now, let me share with you to another story that I think is pretty beautiful. And it's about time, the same way the anthropologists got to see the world in a different way. By talking to plants. I hope that this story will show you a different way to experience time. Do you know what sacred time is? Have you ever felt, I want you to think back to the beginning of this podcast, and we were talking about the Terror before the sacred, what does a festival, not that you need to be religious, however, people that are religious tend to experience this particular. Hm. Hm. How do I put this? There's a way to experience time that everybody can do, but almost nobody does. And that is to experience time, the way that people that came before you experienced time. I know what you're thinking. I do. What are you talking about, George? I can't experience the exact same time as someone who lived a thousand years ago, I say, bullshit. I say you can. And that is what in fact, a Rite of passage is that is what a festival is. That is you getting to experience the exact moment that someone a thousand years ago got to experience in my book, I go into the Eleusinian mysteries because familiar with those, the Eleusinian mysteries were I'll just give you a quick little once-over. It was this unbelievable pilgrimage that was taken by kids and adults and young adults and older adults and slaves and emperors. The either Sydney and mysteries, they were not allowed. They weren't, they not deny anybody. Everybody could go and experience them. And the word on the street is it was a couple of days. And the beginning was, I think it was, you were shown the death of perception and then the reuniting with Demeter. So it was a symbolic death, but that was the one thoroughly understands or truly knows what, in fact, the secrets were at the Eleusinian mysteries, but it's a pretty good bet to know that it helped people deal with death. In fact, when you read the accounts of those who had gone and been initiated until he loses, then you understand that they came back with this feeling of not being afraid to die. They came back with this feeling of this is just the beginning and it was this thing that United them. It was this thing that brought every one together and people, the truth is either Sydney and mysteries had gone on for like 2000 years. And you could, in some books, if you look it up, if you're so inclined, you should probably read my book, the Terror before the sacred, but you can read plenty of other books about them. And you can read the accounts of people who went through the ceremony and they're all the same. You see, that's the purpose of the ceremony. That's the purpose of the festival is it never changes. And when you go into that festival, when you go into that ceremony, then you are entering that particular chamber, the exact same way that someone who came before you entered it, you are experiencing it the very first time, the same way, the person before you experienced it for the very first time, it's brand new. Although it's old, you can't grasp it, but you can never get rid of it. Does that make sense? And there's all kinds of ceremonies like that. People go around. I live in Hawaii and they have a bond dance festival. And it's a celebration where everyone gets together and dances. But that ceremony is a ceremony that's been taking place for. I don't even know how long. And you can see it. You can see couples that you can see a relationship start there. That becomes a marriage. And there's people that go there that are, oh yeah. I met my wife here and you can see young, a young, a young gentlemen, dancing with a girl, go look at them, look at them. I bet you, they get married. You see that is a different form of time. That is sacred time. That has time in which you get to experience it. It's almost like time traveling versus the time when you wake up, you get in your car and you go to work. There's nothing sacred about that time. That's time that has been stolen from you and people are selling back to you. That's profane time. And that's what the mechanistic world does is it makes things profane. Only an organism, only something bigger than yourself can participate in something that's sacred, where there's, there can be no sacred where there is no sacrifice and too many people today sacrifice for the company. They sacrifice for the corporation. They sacrifice so that the people on the very top can have a giant boat and go to St. Bart's bang, huggers. The same, the same guy that's out there, banging hookers. We think his daughter thinks of them. Do you think Jeff Bezos kids think about it? It's like I even have kids. They probably hate them on my, I live on in Hawaii and in, I live on a wahoo and there's an island outside of here called Lanai. And it was recently bought by Larry Ellison. And you hear some interesting stories just to give you an idea. This guy bought the four seasons and made it his house. Just think about how crazy that is. I'd actually gone. I've gone. They're not seen at stayed at that place before it's gargantuan. It looks like a, a shopping mall, but nicer. He was like, how does make this my house? The guy has a boat. That's like the same size as an aircraft carrier. He parks it over here in a wall. Sometimes. You know what else he does? He's got a numbering system for people that can talk to him. If you're a five, you're not allowed to look at them. If you're a four, you can look at them, but you can't talk to them. If you're a three, you can look at him and greet him. If you're a two, you can talk to him on a level that is superficial. And if you're a one you can call, you know, his son is a four. Think about that, what's it? What is it? What's it feel like to have all the money in the world to own an island and own an aircraft carrier, and then to tell your son, he can't even look at you. What? A giant piece of shit, right? That, that is so sad to me. Would you, would you rather be that, is that what you want? You have all the money in the world have nothing. How many people do want that though? In fact, why don't we celebrate people like that all over TV? What do you see? Real Housewives, big yachts, nice cars. People all jacked up. Like what, what kind of world do you think we're going to get? When we put that all over TV? What kind of world are we going to get? When we emphasize, Hey, here's what's why is there nothing beautiful on TV, right? Why is all the music just like, look, there's still great music out there. Don't get me wrong. But the commercialization, the commodification, it has stripped the beauty. It has stripped the very fiber out of the nutritious world in which we should be eating from what's wrong with putting someone beautiful on TV. That is wholesome. What's wrong with putting someone on TV who stands up for what's, right? What's wrong with putting someone on TV who is an incredibly hardworking person that maybe doesn't have everything, you know, what's wrong with that? Who are these people that want to put on TV? Just as garbage? It makes me think. It makes me think who are the gatekeepers? Who are they? I may have told you this story, but let me run this through, through this one again, I know a couple of guys who are brilliant writers. They're beautiful. They're not only beautiful. Writers are beautiful humans. And they had written this story. That was so beautiful. And it was like a Christmas story. You guys ever seen that? It's just like this. It follows the hero's journey. You know, you come up on adversity, you hear the call. You decide it's too much for you. You can't do it. But then you meet a hero. Then you meet a mentor and that mentor shows you the way to do it. He can't walk through the door, but he can show it to you. And he does. And then you walk through it and you're forever changed. That's the hero's journey. And these guys wrote this story. That was beautiful. But when they submitted it, they sold the script. They submitted it to this old goat. And this old goat said, you know what? This is ridiculous. This guy should get divorced. His kid should die. Like imagine taking something beautiful and saying, you know what we have to do to the scene. We have to make it garbage. We have to make this ugly and disgusting. Mike, that's being done on purpose. Like, think about that. This old goat, this old ridiculous goat. And I don't mean greatest of all times. I mean like, you know, one of the money changers, you know what I mean? One of these guys, I think want nothing more than to just put hate and anger and just disgusting thing out in the world that they love that they love it because they're the money changers and the money changers love everything. That's disgusting because they're disgusting. I could keep going, but I think I'm going to cut this one short. All right, ladies and gentlemen. So that was a journey. We started off talking about my book. We ended up on some money changers, but I think we solve some of the world's problems right here. And I'm going to be back tomorrow with a little bit more about, I'm going to give you guys the beginning of my book. I'm going to go ahead and see if you guys can give me some feedback and let me know what you think. And as always guys, if you want to reach out to me, you want to be on the podcast or you just want to send some messages my way or some criticisms. I love criticism.

A rare interview with Jeremy Narby and the late Francis Huxley, legendary anthropologists in conversation with Bioneers Radio Host and consulting producer Neil Harvey. The interview took place at a Bioneers conference in 2002.

Anthropologist Jeremy Narby's life's work has involved reconciling Western scientific views and assumptions with those of Indigenous cultures around the world. In this interview excerpt, Bioneers Senior Producer and author J.P. Harpignies talks to Narby about intelligence in nature, the limitations of language and more.

With the illustrious anthropologist Francis Huxley of the renowned Huxley clan; a leading figure in Native American and American Studies, the late, beloved professor John Mohawk; and groundbreaking anthropological thinker and author Jeremy Narby. Practices by different Indigenous people around the world were labeled "shamanism" by anthropologists and dismissed as irrational superstition, but in the 20th century cultural observers began to see shamans in a new light, as creators of meaning. Are science and shamanism compatible? Is Indigenous knowledge safe for a modern, secular world?

What do octopuses, bees, plants and slime molds have in common with human beings? For one thing, they exhibit the ability to solve problems and make decisions. Author and anthropologist Jeremy Narby reveals his astonishing research on the profound intelligence active throughout nature. After all, how could people be intelligent if the nature that created us were not even more intelligent?

Depuis le début des années 2000, le tourisme chamanique n'a cessé de se développer. Une substance psychédélique est intimement liée à ce phénomène : l'ayahuasca, un breuvage sacré d'Amazonie. Alexis a voulu en savoir plus sur l'émergence de ce tourisme chamanique, ainsi que sur l'utilisation et les effets de l'ayahuasca. Pour cela, il est allé à la rencontre de David Dupuis, un anthropologue spécialiste du chamanisme amazonien. Psychédéclic, épisode 3, c'est parti !

On this episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast Dr. Hoye is joined by Dr. Jeremy Narby, PhD. Dr. Narby is a Canadian anthropologist and author. In his books, Narby examines shamanism and molecular biology, and shamans' knowledge of botanics and biology through the use of entheogens across many cultures. He grew up in Canada and Switzerland, studied history at the University of Kent at Canterbury, and received his doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University. He works as Amazonian projects director for the Swiss NGO Nouvelle Planète.He is the author of several books, including “The cosmic serpent: DNA and the origins of knowledge” (New York: Penguin/Tarcher, 1998).Dr. Narby discusses his new book, Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the pursuit of Knowledge, which he coauthored with Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, an elder of the indigenous Shawi people of Peru. Dr. Narby goes into great detail about the cultural aspects of plant medicines in indigenous cultures. In particular, the South American, Shamanic uses of both tobacco and ayahuasca. Tobacco as it has been adulterer by European-based framing and industrial practices is nothing like the plant as used in South American, indigenous healing and spiritual practices. Overall, Dr. Narby advocates and hopes for a blending of Western approaches to science and medicine with that of the wisdom traditions of indigenous elders.Dr. Narby's website:https://greatmystery.org/jeremynarby/Plant Teachers Book at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Teachers-Ayahuasca-Tobacco-Knowledge/dp/1608687732The Psychology Talk Podcast is a unique conversation about psychology around the globe.

Hey everybody! Episode 72 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Jeremy Narby. I was familiar with Jeremy for many years ever since the release of his popular book, The Cosmic Serpent. Jeremy recently released a new book, co-written with Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, called Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the Pursuit of Knowledge. It's a very good read and speaks about two plants that I have worked closely with: ayahuasca and tobacco. There has been a lot of literature released in the last decade about ayahuasca, but very little about tobacco, a plant in some ways equal to, and in some regards, more widely viewed as medicine than ayahuasca. I was very happy to hear that Jeremy had released a book talking about tobacco, because I feel there is a need for more clarity on this highly regarded plant medicine, and Jeremy is a great person to begin to speak about it. I really enjoyed this conversation with Jeremy, listening to some of his stories, hearing his perspective on ayahuasca and tobacco, and having him speak about the new book. I think and hope you all will learn from this episode. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below.

More info on the Alps Conference 2021 - Website - Twitter - Facebook - Instagram - Youtube Abstract: Psychedelic science and the knowledge of indigenous Amazonian people: a true science of ayahuasca calls for a new kind of research Scientists and researchers have recently become interested in the therapeutic potential of the Amazonian plant brew ayahuasca. But administering this powerful hallucinogenic cocktail requires considerable know-how and finesse. Indigenous Amazonian people have long used the brew and therefore have expertise in the matter. In their view, ayahuasca works first and foremost as a purge; and the brew's efficacy depends on icaros (curative songs), which have healing power, and on dietas (preparatory diets), which consist in refraining from certain foods and behaviors, and which can fine-tune a person's capacity to benefit from the brew. A true science of ayahuasca calls for a new kind of research – one that opens up to another way of knowing, and draws out its consequences, without seeking to prove it or disprove it; one that questions its own presuppositions.

Jeremy Narby, PhD, is co-author of Plant Teachers with indigenous elder Rafael Chanchari Pizuri. This brief, information-packed book presents a cross-cultural dialogue that explores the similarities between ayahuasca and tobacco, the role of these plants in indigenous cultures, and the hidden truths they reveal about nature. Juxtaposing and synthesizing two worldviews, Plant Teachers invites readers on a wide-ranging journey through anthropology, botany, and biochemistry, while raising tantalizing questions about the relationship between science and other ways of knowing. Narby became an early pioneer of ayahuasca research while living with the Ashaninca people of the Peruvian Amazon in the 1980s. He studied anthropology at Stanford University and now lives in Switzerland and works as Amazonian projects director for Nouvelle Planète, a nonprofit organization that promotes the economic and cultural empowerment of indigenous peoples.

Anthropologist Jeremy Narby first learned of the shamanic uses of ayahuasca and tobacco while conducting fieldwork in the Amazon region decades ago. After witnessing the transformative power of these mind-altering plants, Narby embarked on a quest to understand their effects on human consciousness. His search led him to contact Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, a traditional healer from the Peruvian Amazon. “The dose makes the poison,” says an old adage, reminding us that all substances have the potential to heal or to harm, depending on their use. This is especially true of tobacco. Although Western medicine treats it as a harmful addictive drug, tobacco is considered medicinal by indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest. In its unadulterated form, it holds a central place in their repertoire of traditional medicines. Along with the hallucinogen ayahuasca, tobacco forms a part of treatments designed to heal the body, stimulate the mind, and inspire the soul with visions.In Plant Teachers, Narby and Pizuri hold a cross-cultural dialogue that explores the similarities between ayahuasca and tobacco, the role of these plants in indigenous cultures, and the hidden truths they reveal about nature. Juxtaposing two distinct worldviews, Plant Teachers invites readers on a wide-ranging journey through anthropology, botany, and biochemistry, while raising tantalizing questions about the relationship between science and other ways of knowing.Plant Teachers on Amazon:    https://www.amazon.com/dp/1608687732 

This week we speak with Jeremy Narby, author and anthropologist, on botanics and biology and their applications in psychedelic therapy. He has written several books including "Plant Teachers" and "The Cosmic Snake" as well as co-authored "The Psychotropic Mind".Jeremy grew up in Canada and Switzerland, studied history at the University of Canterbury, receiving a doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University. Jeremy spent several years living with the Ashaninca tribe in the Peruvian Amazon, cataloging indigenous uses of rainforest resources.Jeremy has worked since 1989 as Amazonian projects director for the Swiss non-profit Nouvelle Planète, backing projects for the self-determination of Amazonian indigenous peoples that involve land rights, primary education, village health, botanical knowledge, fish farms, tree nurseries, and other local initiatives.

In search of a creative elixir to bring new life to his flailing film career, the great Italian director, Federico Fellini, pursues his long-cherished dream of adapting Castaneda's books into films. But on his trip to Los Angeles, in 1984, to meet Castaneda, his dream soon turns into a nightmare. After listening, be sure to check out:Episode Slide Show: bit.ly/3a5adFLOne Extra Thing: bit.ly/3A1ykQoDiscussion Thread: bit.ly/3ivJGGy www.tricksterpodcast.com Trickster: The Many Lives of Carlos Castaneda is a guppy production:Creator and Executive Producer: Frank HortonProducers: Ville Haimala, James Orestes, Yuval ShapiraCo-Producers: Kevin Barth, Steve Barilotti, Colin Stewart, Ybrahim Luna, Ana Djordjijevic, Dan Girmus, Celeste Cuevas, Collins Harris IV, Robert(a) Marshall, author of an upcoming biography of Carlos Castaneda, American Trickster, Katie Kidwell, Justin AierSenior Producer: Pablo VacaComposer: Ville HaimalaSound Designer and Mixer: Randy WardEditors: Frank Horton, with additional editing by Randy Ward, Paul Calo and Yuval Shapira We wish to acknowledge our debt of gratitude to the research of scholars, journalists and authors who have contributed tiles to the mosaic that is our project.

"There is no good or evil, what there is, is prey and predator, that illness is our invisible entity that can come and kill us. We as hunters can go and kill animals, some animals can come and kill us. As long as we're alive as human people like this in this world, our job is to stay alive and to stay alive we have to kill plants and animals but we have to do it with respect because we know that they're members of our family so this means taking them into consideration doesn't mean not killing them. The whole amazonian eco cosmology and there are differences between the different cultures..." --- Jeremy NarbyIn this episode, AJ of @mysevenchakras and Jeremy, a Canadian Anthropologist, talks about mind-blowing topics such as plant medicine, sacred tobacco, mother ayahuasca, spiritual cleansing, sorcerers and the power of unseen realms of existence.Jeremy Narby, PhD, is co-author of Plant Teachers with indigenous elder Rafael Chanchari Pizuri.  He became an early pioneer of ayahuasca research while living with the Ashaninca people of the Peruvian Amazon in the 1980s. He studied anthropology at Stanford University and now lives in Switzerland and works as Amazonian projects director for Nouvelle Planète, a nonprofit organization that promotes the economic and cultural empowerment of indigenous peoples.To learn more about Jeremy Narby and his books visit his Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/Jeremy-Narby/e/B001K8G6DQ%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_shareKey Points DiscussedIf you want to understand third world development, go to a place where there is an occurrence of a big development project happening on lands of indigenous people. (4:56)I'm not a big fan of insects or snakes, I was not attracted to tropical rain forest but at the same time, If you want to become an Anthropologists, you go somewhere tough, you go to where you don't want to go and you study something difficult and interesting and then you become a Doctor of Anthropology. (7:46)In the Amazon there's Nicotiana Tobacco, Nicotiana Rustica there are several kinds of Tobacco. The Tobacco that they grow has up to 20% nicotine compared to 1% in the Tobacco that Virginia plants tobaccos. This is very powerful, filled with psychoactive alkaloids and people consumed hallucinatory doses of this Tobacco. I mean in their culture it's a hallucination. It's another thing that people don't know, It's a hallucinogenic plant. (14:10)Music becomes the medium for exchange with the invisible world which itself is made of music. It's made of knowledge and it's made of music (23:03)Amazonian people have different ways of making oppositions. Everybody in the world is dualist. In Western dualism, there are absolute categories. Good and evil, body, mind, nature, culture are absolutely opposed to each other conceptually. (30:43)It's not really a question of good or evil. It's a question of pragmatically staying alive. You actually do not want to become prey, it's that we want to celebrate being predators, it's that being predators without getting eaten is the only way of staying alive. It's about smart strategy. (35:16)Talking about how Amazonian people used their resources rationally and the best way to protect the rain forest was to entrust it to their indigenous inhabitants. (39:40)This is something that should need studying, the hallucinatory nature of Tobaccos understudied subject for the moment. Science has mainly not studied Tobacco as a hallucinogen and it's mainly studied as a cigarette version of a plant. That kind of research that needs to be done. 43:57)From the indigenous point of view taking power from this route and empowering oneself, they will call that sorcery. (47:05)It is necessarily a risky proposition that you take with your psychic so when you're dealing with a powerful hallucinogen like Ayahuasca you want to ask yourself why you're doing this? What are you looking for?

Jeremy Narby, PhD is an anthropologist and best-selling author of The Cosmic Serpent as well as a co-author of Plant Teachers with indigenous elder Rafael Chanchari Pizuri. He became an early pioneer of ayahuasca research while living with the Ashaninca people of the Peruvian Amazon in the 1980s. He studied anthropology at Stanford University and now lives in Switzerland. In Plant Teachers, Jeremy and Rafael co-explore indigenous and scientific perspectives on both ayahuasca and tobacco and their ceremonial and medicinal usage. In Plant Teachers, Jeremy and Rafael hold a cross-cultural dialogue that explores the similarities between ayahuasca and tobacco, the role of these plants in indigenous cultures, and the hidden truths they reveal about nature. Juxtaposing and synthesizing two worldviews, Plant Teachers invites readers on a wide-ranging journey through anthropology, botany, and biochemistry, while raising tantalizing questions about the relationship between science and other ways of knowing.

Carlos Castaneda didn't just write about a Don Juan—he was one. Over the course of his life, his magnetic personality pulled innumerable women into his orbit. Most stayed briefly. Only a few lasted long enough to see all the different facets that lay underneath the surface of his charismatic personality. One of them was Gloria Garvin.

This week I'm joined by author and anthropologist, Jeremy Narby, not only discussing his new book, "Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca and Tobacco and the Pursuit of Knowledge," but also the practice of anthropology, giving back to the community, and cross-cultural sharing of knowledge. His new book is now available. 

Can science learn anything from Indigenous knowledge about local plants, and animals? Can science acknowledge that debt and offer reciprocity?

My esteemed guest this week is Jeremy Narby, Author of the groundbreaking work on Ayahuasca and Indigenous perspectives The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge. He has authored several other books including The Psychotropic Mind and Intelligence in Nature, and the soon to be released Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the Pursuit of Knowledge. We spoke about all of the above subjects and it was an honor to have Mr Narby on the show. More about Jeremy Narby can be found here: https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/05h5z9&hl=en-ID&q=Jeremy+Narby&kgs=5c7a32adeff7e7b0&shndl=0&source=sh/x/kp/1&entrypoint=sh/x/kp 

Jeremy Narby is a Canadian-born anthropologist and bestselling author who became an early pioneer of ayahuasca research while living with the Ashaninka people of the Peruvian Amazon in the 1980s. He works as Amazonian projects director for Nouvelle Planète, a nonprofit organization that promotes the economic and cultural empowerment of indigenous peoples. Jeremy is perhaps best known as the author of The Cosmic Serpent which was published in English back in 1999.His new book, Plant Medicines: Ayahuasca, Tobacco and the Pursuit of Knowledge, which he authored with Shawi indigenous elder Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, presents a cross-cultural dialogue that explores the similarities between ayahuasca and tobacco, the role these plants play in indigenous cultures, and the hidden truths they reveal about nature.I've been a fan of Jeremy's work since reading The Cosmic Serpent a number of years ago and it was a real pleasure to speak with him about the two plant medicines that have been most integral to my own healing journey. We discuss the scientific and shamanic views of these two important plant teachers and begin to imagine a Western animism that could help restore our kinship with the more-than-human world.If you'd like to join the conversation and help support the podcast, please considering becoming a member of the growing Medicine Path tribe at patreon.com/medicinepath.

After studying environmental law at the SUNY College of Environmental Sciences and Forestry she began trying her hand at biodynamic farming, environmental education, and geo locative coding. Since then, Maps Bolt creates realistic pathways for humanity to manifest deeper connections with the natural world through animistic perspectives and technology. Maps Bolt looks to be eclectic in her experiences and use them to facilitate her work. Constantly learning new skills in coding, alternative artistic methods, and AR/VR development, she works to connect all of these disciplines into the pioneering of plant music applications and provides a unique user experience that makes plant vitality evident through sound. As founder of Biotunes, she uses multi-media, multi-sensory applications that translates bio-rhythmic energy of the plant into musical notes and a cymatic visual projection. Her strongest influences has been the works of other researchers and scientists such as Monica Gagliano, author ot "Thus Spoke the Plant", Cleave Baxter who first transmitted data from plants, or Jeremy Narby who stated in his 2012 Bioneers presentation “The way the shamans describe it, the spirits of nature, or the essences, are themselves melodies. When they perceive these different entities, if you pay careful attention, they vibrate out a melody. And the work of the shaman is to pick up the given melodies of each species.” This statement best expresses the core of Maps work with plants and creating immersive experiences that engage the public. Her work is also influenced by the notion of "hikoi", a Maori term for pilgrimage. Through the engagement of making music with plants by translating the electrical impulses into musical notes, questions about who gets to belong, who makes the decisions, and what is considered valuable in the conservation world arises. Combining plant generated soundscapes with geolocative tools, allows for the creation of “songlines” - geo-triggered audio tours of ethnobotanical communities . When the music made by plants are connected to gps location, the plants song will automatically play through a mobile app when approaching each individual plant species. The placement of the songlines are often in in publically accessible forests and gardens. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/plantcunning/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/plantcunning/support

Edmond Blattchen a, en même temps qu’il pensait Nom(s) de Dieu(x) pour la télévision, inventé un nouveau rituel d’investigation de l’autre. Il a reçu 200 invités pendant 22 ans, qui venaient munis d’une phrase, d’un objet et d’un pari pour écrire le titre de l’émission de la manière qui leur convenait le mieux. Aujourd’hui, Edmond Blattchen se soumet lui-même à cet exercice difficile dans une émission en 3 parties. Avec notamment des archives de Marguerite Barankitse, Lytta Basset, Jeremy Narby, Tim Guénard, Barbara Hendricks. En partenariat avec la Sonuma. Réalisation Pascale Tison

Le Club 44 propose en ouverture de saison dans ses murs une soirée singulière en conviant le laboratoire LASER Nomad à investir les lieux et à exploser les liens entre art et science au travers d’une exposition, d’un débat et d’un concert. Les années vingt du 21e siècle vont manifestement perturber nos acquis. « Invisibilité et omniprésence » font référence ici, entre autres possibilités, à des organismes/parasites (virus), à des perceptions (sonores ou liées à la virtualité augmentée), à des préjudices sociaux et territoriaux (racisme), ou à notre biosphère. Quels sont les défis majeurs qui nous attendent dans ce contexte ? Quelle sera la nouvelle normalité ? Où se trouve la réalité, est-elle une construction virtuelle ? Quel rôle la conscience joue-t-elle ? Ce sont ces questions qui seront abordées de manière créative tout au long d’une soirée modérée par Luca Forcucci et qui se terminera par un concert de Mahadev Cometo. ___ LASER Nomad a été développé par Luca Forcucci durant une résidence en 2015 auprès de la Djerassi Foundation à San Francisco. Il a créé ce laboratoire nomade de partage de connaissances en vue de « décoloniser » celles-ci : inclure et considérer des perspectives multiples, non spécifiquement occidentales, afin de tendre vers une connaissance qui soit plus complexe et plurielle dans un monde global. Compositeur, musicien, écrivain et chercheur, Luca Forcucci explore les champs audiovisuels, les domaines nébuleux de la perception et de la conscience en multipliant les terrains d’exploration : danse, performance digitale, poésie, architecture, neuroscience. Sa recherche l’a conduit au Groupe pour la Recherche Musicale (GRM) à Paris et au Brain Mind Institute à L’EPFL. Son travail a fait l’objet de publications et a été présenté dans le monde entier. Al Comet a été membre des Young Gods durant plus de 20 ans et a contribué à définir le son industriel des années 1980. Son alter ego, Mahadev Cometo, a étudié la musique classique indienne à Benarès. Avec son exploration des possibilités expressives du sitar, il propose une nouvelle expérience sonore. Bruno Herbelin est chercheur en réalité virtuelle et neuroscience cognitive. Jeremy Narby est anthropologue. Isabella Pasqualini est architecte. Elle explore les relations entre espace et corps. Cette soirée a eu lieu le 10 septembre 2020 au Club 44.

Pour la première fois, Jeremy Narby, anthropologue, rencontre la sociologue Sophie Le Garrec.

Ces dernières années, les scientifiques ont découvert que les végétaux communiquent, qu’ils élaborent des stratégies et qu’ils sont même capables d’apprendre. Ces processus sont-ils conscients ou programmés ? Les arbres sont-ils doués d’intelligence ? Reportage de Murielle Landry suivi d’une discussion avec Jeremy Narby, anthropologue, et Lia Rosso, biologiste et journaliste scientifique.

In this episode, Joe interviews Cody Swift from the Riverstyx Foundation. In the show, they talk about Peyote and the troubles for Native Americans and their church not having access and preservation of Peyote. 3 Key Points: RiverStyx is a small family foundation that funds projects that demonstrate the potential for healing and beauty. RiverStyx has funded the preservation of land to protect the sacred Peyote plant. The Portugal Model shows that decriminalization works. Portugal faced unprecedented overdoses and drug abuse, typically with heroine, and when they turned to decriminalization and treatment, overdoses and incarceration dropped significantly to almost none. The Native American churches have held onto their ceremonial practices very tightly, and they struggle to find legal and sustainable access to Peyote, their sacred plant medicine.

Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes About Cody and RiverStyx Foundation RiverStyx is a small family foundation Cody’s grandfather was the CEO of UPS, and before his grandmother passed, she put a large share of the stock into a small family foundation Cody and his father took their quarter of the Foundation and created RiverStyx “How do you use a million and a half dollars a year for remarkable good?” - Cody He fell into philanthropy along with the burden/blessing of making decisions to change the world with a lot of money He started LEAD (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion) It is a program that aims to help those struggling with addiction rather than punishing them with prison time The Portugal Model In the early 2000’s, Eric Schlosser’s book, Reefer Madness Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market eluded to Portugal having decriminalized all drugs Portugal faced unprecedented overdoses and drug abuse, typically with heroine They realized that they couldn't arrest their country out of the drug addiction problem, so they turned to decriminalization and treatment They de-stigmatized treatment and drug users didn't have to feel ashamed and use drugs in the shadows This lowered HIV rates to almost nothing It was highly successful “Not everyone needs drugs, but not everyone should be at risk to go to jail if they get caught with them.” - Joe Joe encourages psychedelically inclined folks to look deeper into harm reduction and drug decriminalization “Let's provide these people safe access to a clean supply where they can stabilize again” - Cody Joe mentions a book by Jeremy Narby, Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge, Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge The drug war is causing danger to the plants Cody says, if cane syrup was made illegal because it is killing people, we wouldn’t ban the growth of corn, because it is sacred and used for so many other things “Jail is one of the biggest problems for mushroom users” - Joe Joe mentions that he was a little frustrated that Michael Pollan was able to take mushrooms and not go to jail, but the average person could go to jail Cody says that he highly respects Michael Pollan and what he has done for the psychedelic revolution, and that he thinks that Pollan wouldn't want anyone to go to jail for this People like Michael Pollan and Tim Ferriss have done a tremendous job securing funding for Psychedelic Research Peyote Native American people had always been close to Cody’s heart As a philanthropist, he didn't know where to begin There is a myriad of problems facing Native American communities About 5 years ago, it just came into consciousness He got connected to Sandor of the Native American church He learned about ceremony and it became absolutely clear that he had to be a part of it It was an unclear path on how to support the community in the beginning, there was no 501C-3, there were no other philanthropists, the community is so large “How to support them in the continuance and empowerment of their using of a highly potent and healing substance to treat communities that have suffered so much, that was the key question” - Cody Looking at the threat and endangerment of the Peyote plant was the most important part of securing the preservation of this sacred plant Synthetic Mescaline is difficult to access and expensive Ceremony It's hard to track the ancient original threats to the traditions The Native American churches have held onto the ceremonial practices very tightly It's important that white people don't just come in and tweak the ceremony The average life expectancy for Native Americans is only in their 50s They have gone through so much suffering, and they are very awake, sensitive people that are holding this culture and practice close to them Alcoholism is one of the largest problems in Native American communities, and Peyote has shown to be a highly tangible benefit and cure for alcoholism Preservation It has taken over 4 years to begin building these alliances Riverstyx and Bronners have been the only sources of funding, they need more Through this, they purchased 605 acres of land for peyote preservation in Texas 600 acres may not solve the Peyote crisis, but it is a start and has opened the doors to connect with other farmers that has now led to 12,000 acres dedicated to peyote preservation This is to return sovereignty and control to the Native After the land was purchased, they had a pilgrimage with the Navajo Peyote is God to them, it's their connection to the spiritual realm Native Americans have resisted acculturation and stuck to their ways, that is their strength Links Email: cody@riverstyxfoundation.org Website About RiverStyx RiverStyx Foundation attempts to lessen human suffering caused by misguided social policy and stigma, while advocating enhanced opportunities for healing, growth, and transformation in such areas as drug policy, criminal justice, and end-of-life care. The Riverstyx Foundation believes in the human potential for healing, growth, and transformation. The Riverstyx Foundation works to provide a bridge to the relinquished parts of ourselves, our society, and our ecology, to ease those fears and prejudices by funding projects that demonstrate the potential for healing and beauty, when life is embraced in its fullest expression.

Jeff Stanford combines a scientist's mind with a vegan's heart and a mystic's soul. He's co-founder of the Stanford Inn by the Sea in Mendocino, California, an eco-resort complete with a fully vegan restaurant, The Ravens. Jeff's a longtime spiritual seeker, an old-school "back to the land" hippie, and a philosopher. And an advocate of a vegan diet, from all the usual perspectives as well as some that are uniquely his. Jeff is equally at home citing the works of Krishnamurti, Jeremy Narby, and Stephen Batchelor as those of T. Colin Campbell and Caldwell Esselstyn. He's a student of anthropology, and uses his background in that field to challenge the assumptions of the paleo movement.

A special Boom Festival "Future Fossils on The Road" episode featuring some awesome people Michael met while playing and speaking at the amazing biennial psytrance festival in Portugal.Shaft Uddin is a Tantric Unicorn and Sacred Sexual Awakener (with noisy arm bangles): http://sacredsexualawakening.com* Support Future Fossils Podcast on Patreon: patreon.com/michaelgarfield *We discuss:Shadow work, “turning into the swerve,” and going into darkness to claim the light. Realizing that the monster in your dream is you. Dealing with people’s projections and how to make peace with the people who embody your opposite or rejected self – in other words, how to be a “polyamorous sex cult leader” with grace and dignity and humility.“There’s nothing wrong with desire. There’s nothing wrong with harnessing your sexual energy for greater abundance and manifestation.”The dam is to the river system as the taboo is to the body. How do our needs to control nature manifest in ways that obstruct or interfere with our well-being?The horrible true history of the corset – designed to keep women from speaking up for themselves.“The more I study the vagina, the yoni, the sacred space, the more I understand myself. Because I understand where I came from.”The historical tendencies of masculine magic being about projecting the will and controlling nature, and feminine magic being about aligning will with the power of natural cycles.The power of the vulnerability of group intimacy and Michael’s experience with The Body Electric School at Burning Man 2008.Shaft’s ambidextrous “twin goddess awakening” practice and the creation of circuits of loving energy and other “woo woo stuff” that cured his loneliness, depression, and substance abuse.The difference between “polyamory” as loving multiple people and recognizing the original unity and non-separation of all of us and loving universally (see also Alice Frank’s “uniamory”).Polyamory vs. Transparent Love (and other Principles of Unicornia)“Don’t leave me!”(and then immediately)”It’s okay, I’m fulfilled in myself, it’s fine.”— TIME TRAVEL (not externally, but internally) and FATE —Following the histories of the atoms that compose us into the stars and nebulae from which our parts originated = internal time travel!The myth of Atlantis as an example of “misplaced concreteness” of the racial memory of an ancient extinction our cells still remember, not necessarily the story that we tell ourselves about an ancient city.Graham Hancock’s argument that a 13,000 year old comet impact ended the Pleistocene and the possibility that epigenetic molecules have coded this event in our cell nuclei – as well as other even more ancient extinction events such as The Great Oxygenation Event (in which the evolution of photosynthesis nearly destroyed all life).People are building bunkers preparing for a catastrophe that happened two billion years ago!Recycling everything.Faith in humanity and a belief in the Star Trek vision.“I believe that we will start flourishing.”Christopher Ryan vs Stephen Pinker and clashing narratives about the progress of our species and whether or not we really are more peaceful than we were as foragers.“I get my knowledge off of YouTube and Facebook.”— WOO ALERT ––We might as well go there: crystals. Meditating on them. Going back to Lemuria through crystal meditation time travel. “OR are we projecting onto it?”Exalting the natural world by our awareness and appreciation of it. Ensouling technologies by naming them. To observe something turns it from a possibility into an actuality. So with New Age weirdness, how many hallucinations does it take to qualify as reality?Iboga teaches Shaft to “Ask a tree.”Michael: “If my cohost were here to reign me in, we might not even be having this conversation.”Biogeomagnetism and Michael’s 2008 vision-hypothesis that solar maxima and mimina might correlate to changes in the expression of different hormonal balances and behavioral patterns, possibly entirely different genetic expression patterns and states of consciousness.S: “Do you believe in past life regression? I just paid $400 for my one.”M: “Why’d you do that when you can talk to a tree for free?”Camillo introduces himself. Our first third-party guest! He weighs in on the possibility of the cycle of learning that a soul goes through…Is “how literally true it is” the right question? Or do we just have a modern human obsession with FACTS?M: “We don’t realize we’re in this Russian doll of nested dreams. And so we regard LOCAL reality as REALITY. And then you get out of that atmosphere and it gets more and more diffuse.”Writing Field Guides to the Denizens of DMT Space:- the very circus vibe- “like with ayahuasca, there’s always a snake”…and on to Jeremy Narby’s revelations in his book, The Cosmic Serpent, about how plants communicate to animals about their phytochemical properties through gross anatomy.Camillo talks about synesthetic communication with the body, mapping brain regions to reinterpret signals from the body from feeling to visual cortex processing, etc. How archetypes might be the firmware-esque stable mappings of visual and emotional content onto personified entities. (Why would something like that evolve?) Filtered through the specificities of culture, universal human archetypes become specific deities and spirits.S: “THIS is why I want to have a church.”M: “This is why my dad doesn’t want me starting a church.”The Ten Principles of UnicornUnicorn Power BalladsBiophotonics and the DNA Light InternetM: “Maybe the medieval view of things as endlessly regressing celestial spheres is closer to the truth.”Mapping possibility as multiverses on a spherical coordinate plane, and the impossible as antipodal to you, and what’s just unlikely as on the horizon, and what is as where you’re standing. And it all moves when you move.“I basically suppressed my superpowers. I chose to live a lower form of existence…because what really made me happy was ‘Getting paid and getting laid.’ And it made me super happy until two years ago, when I had my awakening.”Michael Crichton’s experience, as reported in his autobiography Travels, of learning to see auras. How Shaft and his former lover learned to see auras. Shaft and Camillo share some exercises and anecdotes about how to move energy.Burning Man as a physicalized internet and the advent of “noetic polities” in which people affiliate and orchestrate according to interests and values, not blood relations or geographic proximity. Will this “unscheduled fluid simultaneity” of liminal zones like festivals be the norm in a few decades, as we get more and more invested in the internet? Nod to Doug Rushkoff’s book Present Shock and his term “narrative collapse.” “Let’s see if it’s in flow! Kind of a spiritual bypass; no agreements.”Scheduling as a byproduct of modern city time; flow as a byproduct as tribal nonlinear time.C: “You’re not the mountain from which the river flows. You’re something in the river that’s going with it, and you’d better just swim with it.”M: “But maybe if you had the mass of a mountain in people that were all trying to get the river to flow upstream, you could do it.”M: “Do you know [of] Peter Diamandis?”S: “Like a true shaman, I don’t read. I learn through experience. Tell me.”M: “Okay, well, through my experience of reading people…”S: [Devious Cackle]Taking an active stance toward the future.
