Event description

APS-Sydney is excited to bring you all our fifth instalment of Book Club. It was collectively decided last time that we choose the seminal text: 

The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge by Jeremy Narby. (free PDF here)

Narby is a Canadian anthropologist and author and has several books that examine psychedelic/entheogenic psychology, Indigenous Knowledge and Intelligence in nature. 

The Cosmic Serpent is an adventure of science and visionary insights through unexplored jungles of the Amazon and uncharted aspects of consciousness to the heart of knowledge.The Cosmic Serpent is a first-person narrative of discovery that opens new perspectives on biology, anthropology, and the limits of rationalism, revealing how different our perception of the world around us appears when we open our minds to alternate ways of seeing.

Drawing on connections between shamanism and molecular-biology, Narby theorises that DNA is a universal language contained in all life around us, one that can be accessed and downloaded by shamanic visionary techniques. Utilising the Ayahuasca vine as a metaphor for the Biblical Tree of Knowledge, Narby examines the use of Ayahuasca as a 'bio-technology' by which Peruvian shamans are able to access molecular information from DNA through the intentional and ritual ingestion of Ayahuasca
