	Questing Conference 2005 Jeremy Narby
		Anthropologist Jeremy Narby is the author of the quite extraordinary, ground-breaking book THE COSMIC SERPENT (1995).
		Confused, and not believing what he had heard, Narby lived with these native peoples for some while, and eventually consented to take part in a shamanic initiation in which he ingested the hallucinogenic brew ayahuasca, which was said to aid communication with the spirit world.
		The experience confounded Narby, and led to years of study in the nature of human consciousness.

		'''Jeremy Narby''', Phd., is a Swiss anthropologist and author.
		Narby was informed, quite simply, that the plants themselves tell people how to use them, particularly through the drinking of ayahuasca, an indigenous hallucinogen/entheogen made from the vine Banisteriopsis caapi and various admixtures containing DMT.
		Since then, Narby has written three books, as well as sponsored expeditions to the rainforest for biologists and other scientists to examine the utility of Ayahuasca in gaining knowledge.

		Narby seems to be dealing with a lot of information, which he has not yet quite organized nor fully processed.
		Narby mentions his understanding of the shamans, which he thought of as being one of the archetype of the wise man, an old man leaving alone as a hermit.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Jeremy Narby is an anthropologist who during a stay with Indians in the Peruvian jungle became fascinated by the Indians' encyclopaedic knowledge of the healing properties and requirements for preparation of the plants around them - knowledge that they claimed was revealed to them directly by spirits after imbibing of a powerful hallucinogenic brew.
		Narby admits that he formed his theories in ignorance of the areas of neurology, chemistry and physics that impinged on them; remarkable, then, that when he investigated these fields he found so much to corroborate his ideas.
		Narby is sound in his denunciation of the arrogance of a scientific community that refuses to investigate, or even to acknowledge, phenomena that don't fit into its established paradigms.

		Jeremy Narby formulated a hypothesis suggesting a demonstrable connection between the active components in ayahuasca and the DNA contained in nerve cells of the human brain.
		Jeremy Narby reasons: "There is DNA inside the human brain, as well as in the world outside it, the plants' world, the life molecule carrying genetic information is the same for all species.
		Jeremy Narby's hypothesis claims that what is called DNA by the scientists correspond to the "animated essences" which communicate with the shamans and bring them knowledge on any subject in every field.

	The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby - Direct Textbook Details and Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Narby makes it clear that his is an experiment in methodology, taking the advice of the ayahuasquero Carlos Perez Shuma to "look at the FORM" through a "stereoscopic" method of corresponding forms in scientific knowledge to forms in shamanic knowledge.
		The reviewer would also do well to remember that Narby is an anthropologist, not a scientist, and does not necessarily have the scientific means or know-how to conduct an experimental test of his theory--which is fine, because he does not present his ideas as proven but as speculative.
		Having said this, Jeremy Narby in the Cosmic Serpent goes further than other anthropologists who strive to salvage the old myths by showing their secret relevancy to the real world.

		Throughout, Narby appears to mistake enthusiasm for evidence and he takes similarities of form (e.g., any helical pattern, hexagon or snakelike figure) to be proof of identity or of casual connection: that the serpent of shamanic lore is DNA.
		Narby does well to question the assumptions of scientists who dismiss all teleology in favor of mechanistic interpretations that are often deeply inadequate, and he does well to inquire into the meaning of the vast commonality of forms between science and world mythologies, but his answers too often come off as groundless invention.
		Narby attributes this to the serpentine nature of the form of DNA which is expressing knowledge of itself to people.

		Jeremy Narby's book places the discussion of indigenous knowledge in a deeper philosophical and cosmological framework, arguing for an epistemic correspondence between the knowledge of Amazonian shamans and modern biologists.
		There is superstition in avoiding superstition, as Bacon once remarked, and I honor Jeremy Narby for finding his way throught the numerous thickets that scientific reason has left behind in its attempts to turn plain truths of experience into the superstition it avoids.
		Narby finds the claim that a plant means what it looks like is no superstition but a fact of experience: moreover, that the images of snakes and ladders that accompany the experience refer not only to the appearance of the ayahuasca vine but to that of the DNA spiral.

		Jeremy Narby was doing fieldwork for his Ph.D. in Anthropology and living with native groups in the Peruvian jungle.
		Most scientists would have immediately discounted such ideas as the mystical musings of uneducated “natives.” Although Narby was somewhat disposed to this position, he decided to try it once for himself.

		This is why, Narby claims, serpents loom large in ancient cultures around the world.
		Narby goes onto to speculate that the world is one vast communication network among strands of DNA.

		Narby quotes the Concise Oxford Dictionary’s definition of “nature” as “the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, and the landscape, as opposed to humans or human creations.” In other words, “nature” is defined in “opposition” to humans.
		As he hunts for scientifically grounded examples, Narby’s greatest challenge is deciding just what intelligence is. At various points throughout the book, he plays with different notions picked up from scientists he interviews.
		At the end of his travels, then, Narby is relieved to discover that the notion of some kind of native intelligence active throughout nature is gaining support within the scientific community—affirming an insight shared by shamans and indigenous peoples long before modern humans used our “intelligence” to disengage from the rest of the natural world.
