The Cosmic Serpent (book)

"The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge" by Jeremy Narby explores the connections between indigenous shamanic practices and modern science, particularly in the field of biology. Narby argues that ancient shamans, through their use of plant medicines, can access a deeper understanding of the universe, which he compares to the molecular structure of DNA. The book suggests that traditional knowledge and contemporary science can inform each other, revealing a shared quest for understanding existence. Narby invites readers to reconsider the nature of consciousness and reality by bridging these seemingly disparate realms of knowledge.
